VOTE FOR QUARANTINE
RESTRICTIVE MEASURE PASSED
EY THE HOUSE.
Congress shows signs of Life-The Coal
Combine Tightens Its Grip-Burgiars
Blow Open Texas safe-Government
steamer Goes Down.
To Restrict Immigration.

Monday was most eventfui one for the
Fifty second Congress 1t has been In
session nearly two years and yet its his
tory up TO that day was not marked by
single act OF wide general importance
During the seven months of the first ses-
sion, which closed last midsummer, the
only acts which we're of even remote ma
tional importance we're those extend
ing the Chinese exclusion law and the
bill admitting two foreign steamships to
American registry. The two months of the
present session have also gone by without
a single act of wide public Importance
This record was such that the Fifty-second
Congress bid fair to go into history as the
most inconsequential since the organiza-
ton of the Government By the action OF
the House and Senate Monday the present
Congress was rescued from record OF alb
solute obscurity. The House passed the
national quarantine bill and the Senate
agreed to take a final vote on the anti
option bill. This makes certain that
at least two measures of vast gen.
eral importance will distinguish the
closing days of the present Congress.
There have been many stormy and confused
sessions of the House, but they have gen.
orally been held when matter OF political
or personal interest has been at stake.
Rarely has a more boisterous meeting been
held over nom partisan and non personal
measure than that which occurred Monday.
Members were at cross-purposes over the
quarantine bill It's most earnest support
ers believed that it did not go far enough.
and, while they aquiesce1 in some of the
amendments made by the New York mem
bers. they did so under protest and In the
belief that IL they did otherwise the meas
ure would meet lingering death through
flibustering The bill finally passed

RETROSPECT.
NO. H.,

The roses were not just so sweet, perhaps,
AS we thought they would surely be,
And the blossoms were not so pearly white
AS of yore, on the orchard tree
But the summer has gone, for all of that,
And with sad reluctant heart
We stand at rich autumns open door
And watch its forms depart
The skies were not just so blue, perhaps,
AS we hoped they would surely be,
And the waters were rough that washed our
boat,
Instead of the old calm sea-
But the summer has gone, for oil Of that,
And the golden rod is here;
We can SEQ the CLEAN of its golden sheen
In the hand Of the aging year.
The rest was not quite 80 real, perhaps,
AS we hoped 1t might prove to be,
For instead of leisure came work sometimes,
And the days dragged YEARLY;
But summer has gone, for all Of that,
The holiday time is DER,
And busy hands in the harvest field
Have garnered their golden store.
The summer was not such dream, perhaps
Of bliss as we thought twould be,
And the beautiful things we planned to do
Went amss, for you and me;
Yet still it is gone, for all of that,
And we lift our wistful eyes
To the land where beyond the winter SHOWS
Another summer lies.
