Congress and the Country.

Each succeeding week of the present
session of congress demonstrates, more
and more forcibly, the utter incompe-
tence of the majority to regulate itself.
Unseemly squabbling, ignorance of
management, inability to compel a
quorum, even when it has so large a
majority, lack of leadership, failure to
formulate any policy of action, are all
glaringly apparent that it has become
an "object lesson" to the people that is
equally as instructive as the miscbiev-
Gus and destructive free-trade Wilson
bill. Men are asking, everywhere
throughout the country, if this can be
the party that is in charge of the
national administration, party that,
with so large majority, is unable to
govern itself What then can be ex-
pected of its national administration?
Setting aside all question of free trade
or protection, there are thousands of
men who voted, in 1892, to elect those
who are now in power who are posi-
lively afraid for their country. They
reason, and they reason rightly that if
the leaders of this party, which has so
large a majority, are unable to afford
protection for itself, into what de-
plorable condition must the country fall
when left in such hands. These good
people forget, however, that the major
ity does not represent party of protec-
ton, but that it is against protection
and in favor of a policy of prostration.
Hence, its maladministration in con-
gress is but a natural part of such
policy. But the people are beginning
to open their eyes, and the day for
final reckoning is coming.

prove the industrial condition, the gen.
eral feeling Is that this pestilence will
prevail with more or less severity until
another presidential election freezes IL
out. The rest of Mr.. Cleveland's term
may be better or worse, no one can
forecast which, but certain it is that the
inevitablaness of three ''more years of
Grover" has in it no suggestion of those
good times the Democratic orators and
editors dwelt upon during the last
presidential campaign.
BY most appropriate incident of his
recent outing, President Cleveland
spent the first anniversary of his last in
auguration in the greet Dismal Swamp,
and to make the appropriateness still
greater, his companion of the day was
Secretary Gresham. 1t was clear
case of the right men in the right place.
The most humiliating feature of the
year for Mr.. Cleveland was the Ha-
waiian fiasco, but that little interna-
tional episode had nothing whatever to
do with bringing on the hard times, as
it had nothing whatever to do with
bringing the president and his secretary
of state together. Mr.. Cleveland rode
into power on the crest of the free trade
tidal wave which has caused all this
desolation, and Judge Gresham gave as
his excuse for turning his political coat
that he was opposed to the Mckinley
law. The most doleful part of the
Dismal Swamp would only be faint
suggestion of the condition of the coun-
try as the now obvious result of intrust-
ing the reins of government to party
having for its avowed purpose the with
drawal of protection from American in
dustry.-Inter Ocean.

Three More Years Of Grover.

The American people have now had
one of the "four more years of Grover
for which they sang and voted in 1892,
and three more of them still remain 1t
was the first Saturday of last March
that those years of "clover" began, and
on the 4th of March three years hence
a new president will be inaugurated.
An old fable represents the fates as
giving to one of the sons of men ball
of yarn, with the assurance that he
would live until that ball was unwound,
and no longer, and that no one except
himself should be allowed to unwind it.
The man was delighted. He felt sure
that he would be immortal That ball
should be put away and kept intact.
The fates had told him that for every
yard he reeled off year would be put
behind him. After while he yielded
to the temptation to escape some trouble
or embarrassment by reeling off year
or two, and then something else came
along to make him anxious to kill time.
and before the first year was over he
had unwound the entire ball and the
fates took him and cut off his thread of
life.
A great many American citizens
would be very likely to unwind three
yards of such a ball if the fates would
only give them chance. 1t would GER.
tainly be dangerous gift just at this
time. Never before in the history of
this country was there such general
fixing upon some particular time in the
future as the turning of a new and
better leaf in the book of life. There
have been depressions and panics be-
fore, as there have been wars, all of
which everybody looked to see end some
time, without having any definite idea
when. Like death and burglary, they
would terminate ''in an hour when you
think not"
But this depression has in it an ele-
ment of chronology. If yellow fever or
cholera come the people know that the
frost of autumn will put check to it,
and that by the time cold weather set
ties down it will disappear altogether.
So in this case, while palliatives and
partial cures may be hoped for, and
everybody should try all the time to i'm
