THE Senate is well along in its third
thousand of bills and resolutions intro.
duced this session, and the House in its
ninth thousand. As usual, some of the
Senate's bills are duplicated in the House
but the total, about eleven thousand, is
already close upon the 11,44l which con-
stitutes the unprecedented record of the
Forty eighth Congress for both sessions.
In the Thirty.eighth Congress the ag-
gregate was 1,6Os. As the days and
nights are no longer now than then, it
may be seen how the chances of a bills
RECEIVING consideration have diminished.
