CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

IN the senate on the sth, the morning hour
was taken up with the consideration and pas
sage OF bills on the calendar. At O'Clock the
body proceeded to the hall OF the house OF
representatives to take part in the counting OF
the votes of presidential electors, after which
the automatic coupler bill was taken up.
Iu the house the counting of the electoral votes
was the event of the day. and the election OF
Grover Cleveland, as president, and Adlai Z.
Stevenson, vice president was duly an
nounced. The legislative appropriation bill
consumed the remainder OF the day, but no re-
suit was reached.
IL the senate. on the 9th the whole session
after the morning hour was devoted to dis
cussion OF the railroad automatic car coupler
bill, without formal action being reached
In the house, Immediately after the reading
and approval OF the journal, Mr.. Cstchings
called up the resolution OF the committee on
rules setting apart this legislative day and, il
necessary, the next for the consideration OF the
bill repeating the Sherman silver act, and the
day was accordingly devoted to that measure.
IN the senate on the 10th. discussion OF the
automatic coupler bill was continued to q
close. but just a vote was to be taken it was
proposed that it be postponed one day until a
new print of the bill amended, could be had,
which was agreed to In the house the pen
sion appropriation bill, carrying more than
Sl66, 0OO000. was discussed in a listless manner
that failed to arouse interest among the mem
bers. An evening session held to consider
private pension bills was wasted in flibuster
ing.
IL the senate. on the llth the substitute for
the house automatic coupler bill was passed.
The only other important piece OF legislation
WAS the agreeing to the conference report on
the Notifications bill and making the Nicaragua
canal bill unfinished business -. In the house
the day was without result. The attempt OF
the democrats to limit the time for debate on
the pension appropriation bill was firmly re-
sisted by the republicans, and the strong
| minority came out victorious. The result was
that without termination OF general debate the
house adjourned.
In the senate. on the 18TH at the expiration
OF the morning hour, senate bill to amend the
act OF February 20, 1889. to incorporate the
Maritime Canal Co. of Nicaragua, was taken
up, and Mr.. Frye addressed the senate in ad :
vocscy of the bill followed by Mr.. Morgan,
also in favor OF the bill .... In the house the
conference report on the Notifications appro-
priation bill was submitted and agreed to.
The day was then given up to District OF Co

ONE of the minor consequences of the
annexation of the sunny isles of sum-
mer, of which Honolulu is the pic
turesque capital, would, doubtless, be
the erection of American hotels, the
establishment of many varied attrac-
tions in and about Honolulu and other
places in the islands, and the running
of more excursion steamers from San
Francisco to the islands These would
be by far the most attractive spots, for
winter resorts, of any that are now
within easy reach.

THE Indian trouble in South Dakota
is settled for the present, but there are
obvious reasons to anticipate its renew
al in a more extensive and serious form
at an early day. 1t is well known that
the tribe concerned is one of the most
turbulent and bloodthirsty on the from
tier, and that its presence is constant
menace to the people. The disturbances
of 1889 and 1891. with their sickcning
record of outrage and murder, are well
remembered, and the conditions for
their repetition still remain.

IT is claimed, and not without some
show of reason, that the Worlds fair
is destined to plunge into pauperism
many Of the worthy and, at present
reasonably well-to-do residents of Chi
cago. As the time for the opening of
the fair approaches, the prices of meat
and vegetables are increased, rents are
raised in every direction, and the strug-
gle for existence becomes more demon
alizing. Already the Chicago poor are
saying: THE fair is for the rich; the
poor can have nothing to do with it."
The poor of other cities may be indeed
thankful that the fair did not come

Two OR THREE HUNDRED families of
South Amboy. n. j., have been in the
habit, time out of mind, of supplying
themselves with fuel from the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co.. S yards at that
place, and are now in a state of most
profound indignation because the com
pany, realizing that the practice was
eating into the dividends, has com
menced a series of prosecutions for lar

off the company's coal without render

EVERYTHING goes to show that 1892

to this effect is the report of the saw

THE French people, like some other
people, believe that kick is coming to
them in any event. They clamored for
the conviction of the Panama canal
managers, and they now clamor be-
cause the law has taken the very course
they demanded it should take. There
is something very feminine in the
moods of the Gallo masses.

WHEN the French attorney of De Les
seps attempted to justify his clients
conduct in the Panama swindle by say
ing that he was under the influence of
excessive optimism, he hit upon a
clever phrase which aptly describes a
product of the prevailing fever of spec
ulation much in evidence just now in
this country as well as in France.

THE populists have gatherings at
Washington February 22, and it is ex-
pected that the future policy of the
party will then be mapped out. Four
important organizations in sympathy
with this party hold meetings there
that week. and it is thought the result
of their action will have an important
bearing upon the future movements of
this party.
