The nIst Congress Did II.

Ex-Speaker Reed said on Wednesday:
The withdrawal of the Louisiana lottery of
its demand for a new charter is one of the tri-
umphs of the 5lst Congress,
THE country will remember the promptness
with which the house committee post offices
and post roads, under the Chaimanship of Gen.
Bingham, even before the Presidents message
on the subject. considered and on the 2Sth of
July reported the bill to deprive the lottery of
the use of the United States mails. The commit
tee ON rules very soon after set apart the 10th of
August for its consideration by the House and
the bill passed that body that day Now that the
supreme court has sustained the constitutinnality
of the act even the lottery company recognizes
the futility of its future existence The acts of
the 5lst Congress are all standing well the test of
time"

lwebb'> Washington despatch to the Boston
Journal
Two months of the session have gone
and the House is without rules and has
transacted no business. The only measures
of importance that have been before that
body were the ones to reform the methods
of distributing and printing public docu-
ments, the resolution to provide for the
transportation to the starving peasants of
Russia of the generous Offering of the peo-
pie of this country, and one to cut off use
less clerks. The printing bill which was
the result of several months work of a
Joint committee of the House and Senate,
and was a acaTefully-prepared measure which
would have saved the country half million
dollars annually, was defeated, notwth-
standing it came before the House with a
unanimous report. The only substantial
objection urged against it was that 1t would
interfere with the perquisites of the men,
bers. The nOn-actiOn of the House with
regard TO the suffering peasantry in Russia
is a stain upon the national honor The
resolution to cut off the unnecessary clerks
was killed because it would deprive the
members of patronage. That is the record
of the Democratic House, with more than
two-thrds majority, for a period of two
months.
On Friday the Democrats were discuss
ing what committee should have iurisdic-
tion of the District of Columbia appropria-
tion bill, Yet, when the Republicans had
control of the House two years ago, the
District of Columbia appropriation bill was
passed on Jan. s, three weeks before the
Democrats in this House reached the de
cison as to the committee which should
have charge of it. The administrative Gus
toms bill, which, next to the Mckinley bill,
was the most important measure passed by
the last Congress, was sent to the Senate
on Jan. 25.

Liquor Dealers. Liquor Law.

The liquoE dealers are having their inn
ings in the New York legislature, with a
good chance of carrying the day. An ex-
else bill was introduced into both houses
last Friday, which makes free rum still
freer. The bill was drawn up by the coun-
sci of the state ale wine and beer dealers
association, an organization of 10000 re-
tail liquor dealers, who raise many thous-
ands of dollars of campaign funds every
year. Besides granting licenses freely to
hotels, eating houses, saloons and drug
gists, authority is given for licensing "all-
night" saloons to remain open between one
o'clock and five o'clock in the morning,

for him he rapidly failed until yesterday,

was about thirty years of age and leaves q
