history.
But there are other ways in which
the present session is remarkable. If
The House itself has not completed
all the legislation that was hoped for,
the committees have done more work
by far than the committees of any
previous House. They have consid-
cred and reported to the House over
800 bills, during this first session.
In both sessions of the Forth Eighth
Congress only 1896 bills were thus
acted on. The food of bills that has
been poured in upon the present Con-
gress is also unprecedented, over 10,-
600 having been introduced into the
House alone.
Congress has voted to reduce the
mileage of army officers from s to 4
cents a mile. This is about twice
what it costs them to travel. But the
allowance of Congressman is still 20
cents mile, the same as in the stage
coach era. The clamor "On what
basis of right or reason is this?" has
failed SO far in impressing Congress
with the necessity of doing something
for itself in this respect. For short
distances 20 cents mile does not
amount to much, but on long dis
tances it counts up to almost criminal
extravaganza.
Take, for instance, the trip to the
Pacific slope. The entire expense
both ways for one person need not
exceed $500, including the best of
everything. Yet the Government
allows a Congressman 81, 200 and up
wards, and thus he is allowed to
make from $4,000 to 81, 1000 on two
weeks run. The New York members
are allowed SAG each to come here
and go home frem Washington, and
the Chicago Congressman get $40
each way, and travel on passes.
The gayest legislator at the Capital,
if asked to present bill for his per-
sonal expenses, when not travelling
officially, would not dare to run the
figures up to the present legal allow
ance. If he should, would belikely
to cost him his seat in Congress as
soon as the people Of his district
learned the fact. A fair mileage rate,
actual necessary expenses, would pro-
badly not be objected to from any
quarter, but the 20 cent rate is an in
excusable extravaganza. Democratic
economy is permeating every branch
of the Governments service, how
ever, with slow, but sure and
steady purpose. Sooner or later it
will reach this outgrowth of a long
period of corruption.

Athens Post: Has it ever occurred
to our readers that in case Of a va
cancy in the Pension AgencyatKnox-
vile, the office will in all probability
go to another State. The several
States served through this agency are
each of them entitled to as much con-
sideration in the matter as Tennessee,
and as Tennessee has had it since it
was first established, there was and
will be again desire upon the part
of some of them to reap the benefit of
it. We throw out this hint for the

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
The general trade was fair today in
all departments but without any
feature of special interest; the mar
ket was steady for all leading staples
but with no quotable change in any
line.
Flour continues very steady and
scarce for some city brands. A deal
er made the statement today that he
lost the sale of forty barrels of flour
yesterday to a customer who wanted
a particular brand, which he was un-
able at the time to get for him.
Wheat remains steady, with good
demand for choice at roc in carload
lots. The receipts are comparatively
light, although offerings are quite
liberal of wheat not yet shipped, but
buyers are slow to take hold of these
offerings, yet some sales to future de-
livery were made today, but as rule
buyers much prefer having spot de-
livery.
Corn was in fair request and steady
today. Shipments south, % cars.
Groceries were in fair demand,

Washington Letter.

Congress. is lingering long this sum-
mer. Those who know best fix the
date of adjournment as the 10th of
August. But it is understood that
there will be no agreement as to a
fixed time of adjournment until the
actual day, the reason of this being
that when a resolution declaring
certain day for adjournment is agreed
to in advance, the last six days of the
session are made suspension-of-rule
days. AT such times some of the
worst "jobs" ever known in the his
tory of Congress have been passed.
The 'jobs' are anxiously awaiting
this harvest time. Every job that
has been knocking at the doors Of
Congress this session has fastened its
hope upon this annual period when
the unlocking of the Treasury vaults
is declared.
Messrs. Randall and Morrison are
credited with this plan to prevent
Jobs getting through in the hurry of
the last days of the session. If they
succeed, think Of the disappointments
and blasted hopes that will fall at the
heels of the Forty-Ninth Congress.
Even should this session be marked
in no other way than with defense
Of the National Treasury, it would
have an honored place in the nations

Farmers can now turn their land
easy for another wheat crop, which
should be done at once. Land that
is turned now, will make double the
amount of wheat to that turned late
in the season. One acre well put in

A Frightful Railroad Accident.

The accommodation train on the
Decatur Division of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, collided with
a "wild" engine going into Nash
vile for repairs, last Tuesday even
ing, which resulted in the almost in
Simultaneous death of seven men. The
collision occurred in a cut four miles
north of Columbia. Mr.. Al. B. Rob-
ertson, formerly the popular ticket
agent at the Louisville and Nashville
depot at Nashville, was riding on the
engine of the accommodation, and
was among the killed. The others
killed were both engineers, both fire.
men, the baggage master and flag
man. Two passengers were slightly
injured. 1t is thought that both en-
gines were running at the rate of
forty miles an hour when they COLI
ded. The engineer ofthe "wild" en-
CINE had orders to run to Nashville
and keep out of the way of the ac-
commodation. He left Duck River
Station thinking he could make it to
Dark's Mill, about three miles, before
the accommodation passed there.
Such accidents are distressing, and
the fault is hard to place. Both en-
gines and the baggage car were total
ly wrecked, one of the engines ex-
ploding otter the collision, but this is
mere bagatelle compared with the
fearful loss of human life. The re-
mains of the victims were all carried
to Columbia, from whence they were
again removed to their various homes
for interment.

Her legions came with captive bands.

Some mood that must command and sway;
A birthright of their frost hewn hills.
