With the exception of the defeat of the

whole, been more satisfactory than that

has been none, unless the oIeomargarine

bill was passed with good motive, but
missed the remedy for the fraud it was
intended to curb by becoming a tax bill.

The sins of the lower house are prin
cipally those of omission, and the most
serious charge to be made against it is its
neglect to push to a hearing the measures
for the further suppression of polygamy
in tine territories, matter of vast impor

The appropriations as passed by the
house have been marked by economy and
no Job of any character has received the
endorsement of the lower house. Altos

been more free from anything bearing the
