The CONGRESS or BROKEN
paOAISEa

The congress which adiourns to-day
has been In session, counting the called
session, longer than most OF lite prede.
crssors and what has II accomplished
Of real Importance nothing except the
repeal of the Federal election laws.
This repeal, desirable and necessary n.
IL MAS. does not call for special grati'
tuje. A Democratic congress aud =
Democratic president could not well
help removing the Federal election laws
from the statute book. In View, how
ever, Of the strange callousness shown
by congress aud Mr.. Cleveland In regard
10 Democratic obligations not less bind
Ing than the pledge TO repeal the election
laws, that repeal must be regarded as
the sole worthy achievement OF this
congress.
The shameful refusal Of this congress
TO make constitutional tariff, and iis
treacherous surrender To protectionism
and populism, will mark IL n the con.
gress % broken promises, To the dishon-
or Of every Democrat In u who MAS
party 10 the surrender and the shame.
IL Ia no excuse for congress that IL
VAS directed into the broad way that
leadeth 10 destruction by Mr.. Cleveland.
Ills part In the distribution OF the dis
honor will be larger; but the share OF
the Democrats In congress Will be large
enough 10 make them wish that they
had never been born, q wish In which
the Democratic party, betrayed, humlli-
ated, condemned 10 almost certain dis
Aster by their weakness, will heartily
Join.
The contrast between the high Demo-
cratic hopes with which this congress
met last December, aud the absolute
disappointment and disgust which u has
since caused In every Democratic heart,
IL too evident and too sickening 10 be
dwelt upon. Since this congress had
not the common honesty To keep good
faith with the people, the best thing IL
could do Was Ia adjourn. IL 10 unfortun-
ate that there Ia no constitutional pro-
vision for adjournlng Mr.. Cleveland for
few months, too. There will be no ad-
joarnment Of the Disgrace which this
unfAithful president and this unfAlthful
congress have brought upon Themselves.
That will slt continuously.-New York
