WASHINGTON, June 80, 1S92.-Now that
the appropriations have been passed
through the House. there is very general
talk about an early adjournment. The
business of Congress, however, is by no
means completed by the passage of the
thirteen general money measures, i'm
portant though they be, and this tact is
attested by the crowded condition of the
calendars of business in both Senate ana
House. But, as said, members are be-
ginning to feel that they have done
enough to earn the first five thousand dol
lars allowed them, and, besides, events of
no common character ara about to hap
pen at home in which they have more
than casual concern. This aside, it is.
my intention here to jog the memories of
the delegation so as to bring TO mind the
New Jersey business now in such condi-
tion as to justify efforts looking TO its ad-
vance, in part at least. toward the statute
hooks. l am aware that it may be said
that this requires Unanimous consent"
and that involves a Suspension of the
rules" and what not. but the fact stands
pre-eminent, above all legislative difficult
ties. that If efforts are not made to ac-
complish something, the aforesaid New
Jersey measures will rot with the paper
on wnich they are made OF parliamentary
record.
THE HOUSE CALENDAR.
The House calendar shows the follow
ing:-A bi II to increase the appropriation
for the erection of public building at
Paterson; to increase the limit of cost of
the building at Camden; to auth orize the
erection of bridge over the Hudson
River between New Jersey and New York
city. 1t is but fair to say Uha public
building bills stand pretty Door show
this session; at least. bills for new public
hrItl Il tan IItf in
Buildings has given uD all hope of ac-
complishing anything in this line.
Speaker Crisp has bean repeatedly asked
to give them day. but the Committee on
Rules has refused to make the assign
ment.

CLEVELAND ENDORSED.
The members of the New Jersey dele
CATION are more than pleased with the
outcome of the Chicago convention and
confidently predict the success of the
ticket in November. AS for the State
thew sav thara ia no dOIlht Of Mr. CleVa-
land's ability to carry New Jersey. He
has bsen, they say, the on choice OF the
people. and no other nomination coult
have proved 80 s satisfactory. The fact
that Governor Albeit placed MIR. Cleve-
land in nomination is a matter of State
pride. and will give New Jersey a con
spicuous position in national counsels
should the Democratic party be su ccess
full While many membe rs, suffering
from the pangs OF disappoin tmeut. do no
show much enthusiasm over the nomi
nation of Mr.. Cleveland such Is not tht
case with our Congress ional representa-
ton. AS said In the beginning, they are
eIated over the result, and predict tri-
um phi the most decisive of late years.
One of the Farmers Alliance men from
Kansas, Otis by name. has been making
conspicuous his ignorance OF the CoDsti-
tuition by proposing measure to reduce
all governmental salaries of large figures
to $1,000 year. This sprig of the Wes
does not seem to know that Congress ha
no power to cut the salaries of Judges o
the United States Supreme Court, nov
fixed at $4,000. with an extra $500 for tb
Chief Justice. His ideas OF Legislation
are also shown by the proposition LOOKING
to the purch ase of all the railroads In tn
country by Congress The officers ant
employees thereof he would have electet
hV the DeODl6.
