ADO NOTHING HOUSE.

The present House of Representatives is
making as bad a record as the last one in the
way of do-nothingism. 1t has now been in
session nearly five months and with the ex-
ception of the passage of four or five appro-
priation bills, most of which are compare.
lively unimportant ones, it has done nothing
but pass the Presidential succession bill and
an arbitration bill The Senate has been g
fairly industrious body. 1t has passed the
Presidential succession bill, the bill to re-
gulate the electoral count, the Blair educa
tional bill, bills admitting Dakota and Wash
ipgton territories and the anti-Mormon DILL
besides several appropriation bills. Many
Of these measures have been in the hands OF
committees of the House for months, which
are still wangling over them, unable to
agree whether reports should be favora-
BILE or unfavorable. Some of them-nota,,
bly, the anti-Mormon and educational
bills-haye been purposely stifed in COM
mittee, in order to relieve the Democratic
majority from the embarrassment which a
vote might subject them to- The bankruptcy
bill, a measure that has been before several
preceding congresses and which is demanded
by the business community, still sleeps
and there is no reasonable prospect
that it will receive any attention at
this session. The expectation now is that
unless the hot weather drives the members
away, the House will remain in session un-
til the first of August, pursuing the same do
nothing policy that has characterized it thus
far. II is expected that month will be de
voted to an attempt at tariff tinkering, fol
which there is no demand and which cannot
succeed.
The excuse of the last House for its failure
to enact much needed laws was that 1t was In
the clutches of Sam Randall, who paralyzed
it for his own selfish purposes That excuse
is no longer available, for the change OF rules
at the beginning of this session deprived
him of his power and gave the management
and direction of business entirely into the
eentrol of the Democratic majority, What
The Portland daily press., 1886-04-26

excuse win be made at the end of this session
remains to be seen, but no matter what the
excuse the fact is that the Democrats have
no settled policy on any important matter
Their leaders are divided in regard to the
tariff, the currency, and almost every other
matter of Importance except the offices. They
can agree on nothing, and therefore can do
nothing. Two such conspicuous exhibitions
of Incompetence as the last and the present
House have afforded ought to convince the
people of the folly of entrusting power to
the Democracy as at present constituted.
The Portland daily press., 1886-04-26

The bootblacks of st. Louis have resolved
that ten cents is cheap enough for "shine'
and have determined to boycott the five cent
Sinners" An appeal will be made to the
public not to patronize the five cent men and
If this is not effective the ten cent men will
organize, we suppose, and throw mud on all
boots BACKED by the five cent men.

The Blair educational bill is probably
doomed never to get hearing in the House.
The committee on education which has one
draft of it in charge is opposed to it, and will
not report it to the House either with favora-
BILE or unfavorable recommendation. Preba-
bly, the majority Of the labor committee which
has another, and substantially similar draft of
itin charge are favorable to it, but the minor
fly have determined to talk it to death, and
the probability is that they will succeed In
its present form, at least, the bill is one of
very doubtful utility, and its defeat will not
be a matter for much regret.

The confirmation of Zach Montgomery to
be Assistant Attorney General of the In
terror Department is not to the credit Of the
Senate. Montgomery is the man who some
years ago published book in which the
common school system of New England was
described as poisonous fountain fraught
with the seeds of human misery and moral

The efforts of the Maine Democrats to off
set the open and acknowledged dissensions
in their own ranks by manufacturing stories
of dissensions in the ranks of the Republi-
cans are very amusing. There are two can
didates for the Republican nomination sfoI
Governor and there is undoubtedly differ
ence of opinion as to which one should be
selected. But there is no i'll feeling in the
matter. The man who gets the most dele
gates will be nominated, and his nomination
will be ratified at the polls by his election
by handsome majority.
