THE LAST DAY
OF a CONGRESS- THAT SPENT $1,000
100000 OF THE PEOPLES MONEY.

The last day Of the 5lst Congress which
adjourned last week, is worth remembering
by the American people. 1t is calculated
by experienced and conservative men, such
as John G. Carlisle. that it appropriated of
the peoples money $450, 000, coo at its long
session and Sj50, 200, 0G0 at It's short and
final session making the startling aggre-
gate of 81 ,0oo,0oo,o00. Of its last day we
collate the following description from our
exchanges :
THE Senate ORDERLY DEATH,
While the end in the House was uproarious.
the contrast in the Senate was strong. While
Speaker Reed in the House only got a strict
party vote OF thanks, the Democrats demand
ln9 the yeas and nays on the resolution, in
the Senate the Democrats promptly presented
cordial tribute to the fairness and dignity
OF wee President Morton, and the end came
III the most quiet and dignified manner
The crush of spectators was very great in
the galleries of both Houses
THE CLOSING HOURS OF THE HOUSE.
The change of rules of which the Speaker
boosted, together with his vaunted attempts
at political legislation, had so deferred and
embarrassed action on the regular business of
Congress that the bills carrying the great au-
proprlations aggregating larger sum than
in any other year of peace, were all crowded
through at the eleventh hour. No one can
know just what their az 5regata is till they
are all printed. Chairman Allison and
Chairman Cannon could not give their respec-
tive houses the usual exact statemtnt of APP
preparations for the simple reason that it was
lmpractlcable to get at the amounts in the
rush and hurry, nor does any one know tie
number of mistakes i'll the bills. Some were
discovered in time for correction, but the liasty
and Irregular methods of legislation peculiar
10 TINS congress leave doIbt in the mind as
to any bills accuracy.
NOT DoI-LER LEFT UNAPPROPRI AI'ED.
All that anybody really knows about the
Appropriation bills OF this session is that they
leave the Treasury empty and with deficit
amounting to from $4,000, 900 to ST., 900 900
which will apparently have to be met in the
next Congress BY new taxation. This does
not seem to trouble most Of the Republicans
much. They have an 'safter-lls-the-delu
air.. Cannon is the only Republican who has
publicly expressed regret. Most of them are

Where is the Chain Gang


Editor TSnd6cator:
Several months ago, the Judge of the Hust-
ings Court OF the city of Staunton, ordered
the City Council to establish chain gang.
Said council having refused or neglected to
provide one. the Grand Jury called the
Judges attentionto the matter, and the Judge
fully concurred in the recommendations made
by the Grand Jury and directed the council
to provide for same. The chains and balls
were ordered. but no chain gang has been es-
tablished. Why has it not been done? The
Code of Virginia fully empowers the council
to do that TAXPAYER.
