But SLOW PROGRESS.

The second session of the Fifty Second
Congress is more than half over. Practi
cally nothing has been accomplished during
the seven weeks since the Senators and
Representatives met, and nothing more than
the passage of the regular appropriation
bills is expected during the five weeks that
remain before the 4th Of March. No i'm
portant action on any great question OF
public policy is longer anticipated by any
body.
There are great questions which press for
action-questions regarding which the peo-
pie have expressed their opinion with the
utmost clearness and emphasis One Of
these Is the reform Of the tariff The people
declared last November in favor of reduc-
ton in the rates. II is Of the first conse-
quence TO the business interests of the coun.
try that the changes which were thus de.
creed should be made at the earliest posi-.
BILE day in order that the feeling of uncer-
tainty which must meanwhile prevail need
not last long
The silver issue is another one which
presses for action. Cleveland was elected
upon platform which called for the repeal
of the present Sherman law, and the immedi-
ate redemption of this pledge is Of great i'm.
portance. There are other questions which
ought TO be taken up and settled during the
session blu, there are none 80 pressing as these
two and it Is not at all likely that anything
changing the present status of either of these
will be done.
Overwhelming MS was the defeat Of the
Republicans last November, they still con
troll, and will control until the 4th of March
the Presidency and the upper branch Of
Congress, consequently no measure advo'
Gated by the successful party can become a
law which is not approved by the beaten
party. The Republicans are practically
unanimous in refusing TO allow the will Of
the people regarding the Mckinley law to

not so unanimous as to the silver Issue, il is
obvious that the majority OF them do not

sions. So much for the future The i'm.
mediate reforms proposed are these: To
cancel the pensions Of pensioners living
abroad who are not actually disabled; TO
pay no pension under the dependent pen
sion act TO anyone capable of earning liv-
ing or having an income of 5000; to pay
no widows pension to widows who mar
ried soldiers after 1870. The equity of these
provisions is apparent. They lead to the
true principle, which is that only those men
who did real service, incurred disability in
the line of duty and really need help should
be supported out Of the hard earnings Of the
people.

THE READING COMBINE.
Report of the Special Committee of the
National House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The unanimous
report OF the special committee of the
house which investigated the Reading
anthracite coal combination was submitted
to the house yesterday by Representative
Coombs, of Brooklyn, chairman of the
subcommittee. 1t recommends as means
OF protecting ind pendent coal operators
against discrimination on the part of the
coal producing and transportation COM
panies, that the interstate commerce law
be amended to meet the effect of the
Gresham and Counsclman decisions, and
that the long and short haul clause he
made applicable to railroads which form
connecting lines.
The report says that the anthracite coal
region comprises an area of about All
square miles in the state of Pennsylvania
The capacity of the anthracite collieries is
estimated ut abont so, 600, 900 tons annually
The actual output is about 41 100000
tons. FULLY % per cent of the anthracite
coal output is now direc ly and indirectly
controle.l by the railroad companies
The committee has come to the con-
clusion that the railroad companies en-
gagged In mining and transporting coal are
practically in a combination to control the
output and fix the price.
The startling fact Is commented upon
thitt, Notwithstanding coal can DE handled
with less labor and transported with less
cost and risk than almost any other class
OF freight, the freight charges, as tacitly
and apparently solidly agreed upon by all
OF the coal carrying roads, nearly double
the rate for wheat or cotton
After recommending amendments to the
Interstate commerce law the committee
concludes by saying that the public inter.
est demands that the business of the com.
mon carrier should be absolutely divorced
from any other business, and that some
way of solving the problem must soon be
devised by congress and the states
