THE FIFTY-SECoND CONGRESS.
Some of the ScandaloCs Proceedings Dur
ing Its Session.


At last congress has adjourned. and
The whole country draws Il breath of
relief. There have been democratic
houses before that have been ipcCmpe-
tent, but never one more disgracefully
incompetent than this. There have
been demagogues in the house before,
but never so many as in the session
Just closed. Time and money have
been wasted in former years, but never
so recklessly as the year now ending.
Democrats have been for many years
exhibiting their utter incapacity TO con-
duct the government, but never before
have they exhibited it more ludicrously
than in the last house.
When this congress began there were
three things especially that it was
pledged to do. First, it was to enact
rules that would allow freedom of de-
liberation" Second. it was TO repeal
the ''robber tariff" Third, it was to set
shining example of economy and re-
trenchment.
Has it allowed freedom of debate,
and given opportunity for deliberation?
Look at the record. Every important
bill has been passed under the closure
rule. The legislative, executive and
judicial appor,ionment bill was put
through on the 9th of June, under
whip and spur-a bill carrying s22,-
000,000 and containing 10000 words,
with fifteen minutes debate on each
side-"a minute" as Speaker Reed
says, Ito every ten thousand words,
ard forty seconds TO every million dol
lars"
The bill to admit New Mexico as a
state was railroaded through at the
same pace-ifteen minutes of debate
allowed on a question that has for
years puzzled our wIsest statesmen.
The bill 20 admit Arizona was passed
in The same way. To crown ali, the
Hatch antl-option bill, a complicated
measure involving the entire business
interests of the couptry-a measure
against which protests were made by
thousands of level-headed business
men-wcs taken up under suspension
of the rules, without any previous con-
sideration or debate, and passed, after
allowing fifteen minutes for remarks on
either side. The federal elections bill
was passed by the house in the Fifty
first congress after six days OF debate,
and the democrats filed the country
with their vociferations about gag
law" The anti-option bill passed the
house in the Fifty-second congress in
half an hour, under rules adopted by
/ the democrats on purpose to render the
house q deliberative body.

The Womans' Home Missionary So
ciety of Vermont Conference held its
annual meeting at Montpelier, Oct. IL
II. The report showed a gain of
about three hundred in membership,
and over one thousand dollars raised
for the work. One special enterprise
has been undertaken, that of educat-
ing a young lady in the Washington
Deaconess Home and Training School
for Deaconess work in our confer
ence. The officers for the coming
year are: President, Mrs. E. A. Bar

For rapid growth in population, our
youngest Observation-Disclosures
the palm. 1t was thrown open to set
Element only three years ago. 1t has
no mineral wealth. 1t has no timber.
1t can claim no extraordinary fertili-
ty. Many of its first settlers were dis
appointed and went elsewhere. And
yet Gov. Seay estimates its popula-
lation at 138, OOO-an enormous growth!
Even two years ago, or year after
settlement, it had shot ahead of both
Wyoming and Nevada, according to
the census returns. 1t probably to-
day contains more people than Idaho.
Moreover, the area of the Territory is
receiving frequent additions by the
surrender of Indian lands on it's bor-
ders. If pending negotiations with
he Kiowas and Comanches succeed,
and the great Cherokee Outlet is also
absorbed, this Ter ritory will have
magnificent domain of about 20, OOO,-
600 acres, exclusive of the allotments
retained by the red men. Oklahoma
will soon be seeking admission as
State. She will be entitled to it on
the score of population; but as one
twentieth of her people are Indians
not yet adjusted to their new condi-
tions, and one tenth are Negroes,
poverty stricken and almost home
less; as her industries are yet to be
established, her public school system
put on firm basis, and various other
civilizing agencies set in operation, it
is evident that her condition for some
time to come will be too crude, too
immature, to Justify the assumption
of the responsibilities of Statehood.

STATE TAXES.
Hearings Before the State Assessors Yes
terday.

The State Assessors, Messrs. Benjamin
F. Chadbourne, Frank Gilman and Otis
Hayford, began their two days session
in the Common Council room yesterday.
There appeared quite a delegation from
various towns in the county to protest
against what they consider unfair valua-
ton.
Harpswell was represented through
Mr.. j. B. Pinkham, assessor, who urged
that the state valuation put upon the
town was too high.
Fol-, Falmouth Mr.. F. B. Blanchard, as
SCISSOR, appeared and urged that the state
valuation was too high. The addition to
real estate by the commissioners was un-
called for in his opinion.
For Gorham Mr.. f. d. Seaman APP
peared, and urged that the valuation was
too high. The commissioners had
raised the town valuation, which he
maintained was full valuation.
Cumberland was represented by As
SCISSORS Shaw and Trickey, who urged
that addition of 10 per cent to the valua-
ton Of their real estate was too high.
Naples was represented by Enoch
Cannon, who represented that his town
was assessed at too high rate, above
the town valuation, which he says was
100 cents on q dollar.
For Standish Assessor A. III. Cressey
appeared. Four thousand dollars was
added to the value of railroad property
located in the town by q mistake, as the
town claims.
Scarboro was represented by E. c. Mil
liken, an assessor, who claims that the
majority of his board got the valuation
of the real estate too high.
The Maine Commercial Union Tele-
graph Company, which is leased to the
New York Commercial Union, appeared
by its president, Fl. S. Osgood, its treas
urer, A. Little, and it's clerk, Seth L.
Larrabee. They had been called upon
by the State Assessors on account of not
having made the required return to the
state officials of the value of the property
of their company. They explained that
the Governor and Council, acting under
the wide discretion given them by the
statutes, had not required formal re-
port The company was losing money
and therefore the Governor and Council
did not tax it. Therefore, they consid-
cred themselves excused from making
the returns. The commission have
taken the matter under consideration.
The Maine Commercial Union is leased
to the New York company, which guar
antees the stockholders in the Maine
company fixed interest.
The commission will be here today,
after which they will go to Biddeford.
