WASHINGTON, Otober 19.-To-morrow
at O'Clock the first session OF the Fifti-
eth Congress will end-ihe longest con-
tinuous session in the history of nearly a
century of Congresses, having lasted 32l
days. The longest previous session ran
302 days, ending September 30th. Apart
from the protracted discussion of the
Tariff question in both Houses and the
unparalleled deadlock in the considera-
ton OF the bill to refund the direct tax
the session has been remarkable in sew
eral ways, but in none more than in the
enormous number Of measures intro.
duced in both branches of Congress.
In the Senate 3,041 bills and 116 Joint
resolutions were presented, and in the
House the record ran up to the unequaled
figures of IL ,598 bills and 230 Joint reso-
lutions, making grand total OF 1886
measures introduced in one session. In
the Senate, 2 1894 measures were reported
back from committee, and placed on the
calendar, much larger proportion than
in the House, where 8,305 measures OF
the total number of II, ,S2S introduced,
still slumber in the committee rooms.
Among the measures of public interest
that have become laws are the following :
Relating to permissible marks on mail
matter; for the division of the Sioux
reservation; for conference with the
South and Central American nations ;
limiting the hours of letter carriers ;
making Lieutenant-G General Sheridan
General OF the Army; to establish a De.
partment of Labor; for an International
Maritime Conference; requiring the
Pacific railroad companies to maintain
telegraph lines; to prohibit the coming
of Chinese laborers to the United States |;
for the establishment OF rules in respect
the Ste. Marie and other canals; to Gre
ate boards of arbitration to settle con.
troversies between common carriers and
their employees; to prevent the return
of Chinese laborers to this country to
aid State homes for disabled soldiers,
and changing the date Of the meeting of
the Electoral College.
In the next stage, that is, in conference
between the two Houses, are bills of first
Importance, namely: Repeating the
Pre- emption ana Timber Culture laws.
and providing general Homestead law
and declaring the forfeiture of unearned
railroad land grants. Pending before the
Senate is the House Tariff bill and the
Senate substitute.
The Senate passed bills to divide
Dakota and admit the Southern half as a
State, and to aid common school educa-
ton the (Blair bilD, but they never
reached the House for action. In the
Senate the same thing can be said OF the
following bills which passed the House !:
The Fisheries Retaliation bill whose
passage was recommended by the Presi-
dent; authorizing the issue OF fractional
silver certificates; allowing theIregulation
by States Of railroads chartered by the
United States.

If THE proposed Charter is defeated to-
day, another can be prepared and sub
mitted to the people long before the next
Legislature has adjourned. The Consti.
tuition provides that a Board of Free.
holders shall aoithin ninety days from the
date of their election submit Charter to
the people. Now there is no need of
wasting ninety days in correcting (for
that is all there is needed) the errors of
the proposed Charter. Ten days would
give ample time. Twenty days of publi-
cation, and thirty days after that has been
done to the election, would make sixty
days in all required to get a new
Charter before the next Legislature.
Although members of the Legislature
can only draw per diem tor sixty days,
the sessions have never closed at that
limit. They have always lasted to the
middle of March. From now till the
first of March would give us one hundred
and thirty days in which to get new
charter to the Legislature. On pinch
we could have one there in sixty days;
but we have twice that time and over in
which to do the work. Kill the gerry
instrument submitted to-day,
md let us get up another one fair to all
aaxtiee and to all classes.

WnKEsBARRE. Pa, October 19.-A.
daring murder and robbery occurred
this morning few miles from here, on
Wilkesbarre Mountain. Paymaster John
P. Mcclure and Stable Boss Hugh Flan-
igan of Philadelphia and their horses
were shot dead. and a sum OF money
amounting to $4,000, in their possess.
sion, was taken by the murderers. The
murdered men were on their way to pay
the workmen on McFadden's new branch
OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad, between
Mill Creek and Lascel Run. They were
riding along in buggy through strip of
woods to place where the payments
were to be made, when the highwaymen
stepped out of the woods, and, crying.
"Halt" shot the horses dead and also
both men. The money was in box and
was composed of gold and silver, which
the robbers took and fled. The act is
the cause of great deal of excitement
here, and all efforts are being made by
the police, detectives and citi--
zens to capture the villains. The
bodies of Mcclure and Flanagan
were discovered about quarter.
to II O'Clock, by Contractor McFadden,
of Philadelphia, who was coming from
his office at Juniper, Greek about mile
and a-half from the scene of the tragedy.
He first saw the empty buggy and the
horses bleeding from gunshot wounds.
He next discovered Mcclure under the.
wheels, quite dead, and with bullet holes
in his head. McFadden then returned
to his office for his foreman and the two
went to the scene Of the tragedy. Both
armed themselves. On reaching the
lonely spot they found Flanigan's
body lying alongside the road
He had been shot in the head.
The money, $11 900 in currency, and
81 900 in specie, which had been carried
in leather satchel, was gone. This
money had been drawn out Of the Wv
oming National Bank of this city at 10
O'Clock this morning. Both Mcclure and
Flanagan, his companion, were we'll
armed. 1t is thought they were shot
from ambush. Great excitement prevails,
Local detectives and policemen are out,
and kilograms concerning the assassina-
ton have been sent to all points.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-20
Vote Down the Charter.

Two classes Of people are opposed to
the adoption of the new Charter. First,
there is the working people whose organ
izatiops are all understood to be opposed
to the proposed organic law for the mu-
nicipality. Politics cut no figure in their
objections, Democrats or Republicans, as
the case may be, they disapprove OF it.
They ought not to let the election to day
60 by default. Each and every one of
them will neglect an important duty if
he does not make time or take time to
deposit vote against the instrument
which is understood to menace his inter-
ests in the government of the city. Let
all working people get to the polls, pro-
cure the form of ballot with the word
"No" printed thereon and deposit it in
the box. Then they will go home and
having done their duty.
The other large class who oppose
the Charter comprises almost to man the
Democratic party Of this city. The oppo-
sition to the Charter in the party rides
over all lines of demarcation. Rich and
poor, merchant, mechanic and laborer,
if he be warm blooded Democrat, he
disapproves of an instrument the effect
of which is to deprive his party for all
time to come Of its just share in the
government of the city. There is a
Democrat here and there who approves
of it, but thus far none such has come
forward who is at all acquainted with
the political complexion of the several
eections of the city, or he is a soi.disant
Democrat whose manner of discussing
the matter plainly shows that he does
not care deuce-aces about his party or its
success.
The Republican papers know well that
the apportionment disfranchises the
Democratic party 80 far as the city Offices
as rule go. That very consideration,
in all probability, explains the warm in
terest these journals take in the carrying
of the Charter. They insist, of course,
that the Charter does not gerrymander
the city, but they take the best of care
not to attempt to establish by proof the
fairness of the apportionment. The
HERALD has time and again called at
tention to this unfair division of the vote
on party lines. 1t has not attempted
any role of concealment in the matter.
The sections have been distinctly de-
fined, and the political complexion OF the
vote pointed out. Here is the vote for the
head of the ticket in the State election
OF 1886. 1t is given by precincts in order
to show where the vote OF the parties is

testify unfair. 1t may be all well for
SNUG respectability to prate about tho
voters in the center of the city not being
OF the kld'glove gentry. But this is not
a matter OF SNUG respectability. 1t is a
matter OF citizenship, and by the grace of
tne Tree institutions which the founders
OF this Nation gave us, the humblest
tolier at the forge, in the shop or in the
streets, is as potent at the polls as the
banker or the millionaire. The poorest
man mas light to his vote as inviolatelv
as the richest. And woe be the Amer.
can institution when this is not so.
A Republican paper last evenino
sneered at the voters massed in
the one Democratic Ward az
lacking in respectability. The voters
mere are people who earn their bread in
the shops and foundries of the citv for
tne most part. That has not come to be a
disgrace yet. These men should by ali
means get out in large numbers today
and rebuke the SNUG respectability
which thus sneers them out of existence
Laooring men should vote against the
Charter which deprives them of their
rights. Precincts B of the First Ward
and A OF the Second, ought to cast one
thousand votes to-day against the
Charter.

DR.. CHESTER POWELL, at Republican
meeting in Fresno, exhibited a suit OF
clothes which he paid $22 for in England, =,
and which he said the Fresno merchants
offered to duplicate for $16. Now, if DR..
Powell had exhibited that suit at Dem
ocratic meeting, there would have been
some force in it, The question naturally
arises, if SIG American suit can only be
duplicated in England for $22, why is it
necessary to place an import tax of IS
per cent. upon the $22, suit to prevent it
from coming into competition with the
ZIG suit OF American make? The pseudo
political economists of the monopolistic
tax party will please answer.
