The Adjournment of Congress.


The first session Of the Forty-eighth
Congress came 10 an end at 8 O'Clock yes
teriay. The session was ehieiy notice
able for the large number Of bills intro
duced and the small number passed.
There was very little noteworthy legisla-
ton. The attempt 10 reduce the tariff
failed, and nothing was done to cut down
the large surplus revenue. The failure is
chargeable 10 the Proteetionists who op-
posed the Morrison bill. The two houses
could not agree on an electoral count bill,
and the country remains exposed to the
dangers which grow out Of electoral
count disputes. The Republicans are
responsible for the failure Of the Mexican
pension bill. As the House passed the
bill it dealt only with the Mexican vet
Grams. The Senate wholly changed the
character Of il, and made it bill to in
crease the pension list Of Union soldiers
in the late war. They also changed the
provisions relating 10 the Mexican vete-
rams. and made them so obnoxious to the
House that that body refused to approve
them. The Republicans attempted TO get
EALNA-A an 4lllAEleE 4lAHAlEAAaAA1A AAA
coast and harbor defenses, and also bill
requiring the expenditure OF millions Of
dollars for new cruisers. These attempts
at extravaganza the Democrats defeated.
The regular naval appropriation bill
was not passed; q temporary provision
for the navy for the next six months was
made. The Secretary Of State did not get
the $4,000 which the Senate was dis
posed to give him for the Nicaragua canal
project. Whether the refusal TO make this
appropriation was wise or not can only
be determined by time. There were wide
differences between the Senate and House
on about all the appropriation bills. The
House made by far the most concessions
in the conferences, but the Senate was
forced 10 yield to the House on the most
important matters. Unless Congress
does better next session the Forty-eighth
Congress viii not be known in history as
a great Congress.

Significant In Boston.

1t is. therefore, a significant sign that at
Boston there is plenty Of money IN the trea-
sury al independent headquarters. while the
Republican State Central Committee are
without funds and do not see where they are
TO get any. No one has ever disputed the
tradition that to the Massachusetts, eve the
dollar always appears Of full size. 1t is. there
fore. evident that the Independents are
tremendously in earnest, and the Blaine Re-
publicans cOrrespondingly faint hearted.

hurt. There's nothing quite so tough in

ton the most loyal Republican organs

What 1t should Do.

Whatever else the Democratic National
Convention nav do. il is to be hoped that
some way may be found TO suppress both
Butler and Kelly. the two most repelling
hangers-on Of the Democratic party. Neither
OF these men Is q Democrat, for neither has
any principle but self-assertion. Both rely
upOn the lowest elements connected with
American politics, both employ the worst pO-
nfical methods, and both are ready at any
time 70 betraY their political associates.

Butler appears 70 be managing his own
boom at Chicago. All the other candi-
dates have placed their interests in the
hands OF their friends. Butler has more
confidence in his own skill as a politi-
cal manager than he has in that OF any
one else. There are no indications that
he has any strength worth mentioning.
Outside Of the Massachusetts delegation
he cannot count upon more than dozen
votes. He is working, however, as If he
thought he was certain Of the nomina-
ton. His arrival at Chicago caused a
ripple Of excitement, but nobody
except John Kelly appears 10 be paying
him much attention at present. He pa
rades in the corridors Of the hotel in a
ffty-cent straw hat and a $40 suit Of
clothes. He wants it to appear that he
is the workingman's candidate and that
he isn't proud if he is a millionaire. his
appearance and actions are Characters
tic Of the man. He is the prince Of dem
agogues and relies upon the tricks Of
demagogue TO advance his interests.
There is not the least probability that
be will meet with much encOur-
agenent at Chicago from members
OF the convention. Doubtless he viii re-
ceive some attention from certain classes
Of people who viii make considerable
noise with the hope Of pushing him 10 the
front, but when the balloting begins he
will scarcely be heard Of. If he were
gifted with a reasonable amount Of
delicaey he would not appear in the con-
vention. He is not only an avOwed candi-
date for the nomination, but is the chosen
candidate Of the Greenbackers and anti
monopolists. 1t is understood, therefore,
that he Will not support the ticket named
by the convention. About the first thing
the convention ought TO do is TO exclude
him. He would make row doubtless If
anything Of that kind was attempted, and
as a row is not desired it is probable that
ne will be permitted TO have his say as a
representative Of Massachusetts.
