The WorL Of Conrrs...

The 5lst Congress concluded its business,
and became a thing of the past, at high
noon on Wednesday. Two important meas
ures enacted in the closing hours were the
copyright bill, redeeming the national hon
or in this essential respect, and the bill for
thepayment of the French spoliation claims,
which has been football in 80 many Con
crosses, 1t is doubtful if any previous
Congress has ever performed its work in
the face of such determined and disgrace
full efforts at obstruction on the part of the
minority, and under such malignant mis-
representation and false criticism from the
opposition press and yet the record of pos
tive work accomplished for the upbuilding
of the business interests of the country,
and to promote our national advancement
in every respect, is one which time and the
verdict Of history will approve.
Foremost in the list stands the new tarif
law, enacted at the first session. meas
Te, which, while making large additions
to the free list and reducing taxation to
this extent, was drawn distinctly ON the
lines of protection to American industry
in other words a tariff, not for revenue,
but for business, Added to this provision
for making our home markets secure TO our
own people was the reciprocity provision,
which has already made available the great
and growing market of Brazil, aud will be
extended TO other South American coun-
tries. Complementing this is the mail sub
sidy bill, the first distinctive legislation to
promote our shipping interests and restore
our lost carrying trade. The silver legis-
lation enacted increased judiciously, as the
event has proved, our circulating medium,
while free silver coinage was given its
quietus for the time being at least. The
pledges 10 the veterans of the war of the
Union were redeemed in the passage of
the dependent pension law. To the list

Incidents of the Day.

The perceptive faculties of not a few men of
supposed intelligence need cultiyating to an eX-
tent that Is surprising. one group OF six such
men were overheard conversing together in the
hall After lively discussion they all agreed
that while one might vote for any three candi-
dates for selectnen whom he pleased, three can
ddates must be voted for. To vote for only one
would not count. This brought TO mind one of
the Old SchoOlmasteT's sayings, "Child of the
bushes, where's your headY"
one man signed his name To his ballot, on the
outside, but he was sent back TO make out the
ballot properly. Another man, il was found
when the ballots were counted. had signed his
name at the bottom of the ballot and Il had 10
be rejected.
In all So ballots were thrown out the law for
properly marking them not having been com
piled with. ON most Of these the had been
marked either at the left hand Of the names or
between the name of the candidate and the tick
ct he represented. Several ballots had a part OF
the blanks properly marked aud others with the
marks in the wrong place. IN such a case the
names properly marked were counted.
one Jolly Old freshman secured his ballot, aud
without stopping at the booths, marched up 20
