WITHOUT DAY.
Closing scenes of the Second Session
of the Fifty-Third Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 2S.-
The last day of the second session Of
of the Fifty-third Congress was at.
tended by just a score of Senators
and a large concourse of people, who
packed the gallaries to their fulles,
capacity. Most of those who were in
the galleries were ladies. There were
also many visiting Knights of Pythias,
and the diplomatic gallery was the
one which was not occupied. Even the
aisles of the galleries and doorways
swarmed with visitors. On the floor
there was an air of relief at the ap-
preaching close of the session, visible
on the faces and in the demeanor of
those who have been at their posts so
long.
Chaplain Mccarthy, in a along prayer.
included not only the customary Off
GERS of the Government, the President
and Vice-President and Senators, but
even the Senate pages and the pages
and the venerable Isaac Bassett in his
appeal for grace.
A message was received from the
House Immediately after the reading of

Theodore Sachsc for Associoat
Judge.

We are informed that our old friend
Theo. Sachse is a candidate for Asso-
ciate Justice from District No. l. Mr..
Sachse is an old citizen of the county
and a better man for the position
could not be found in the county. He
is a nan of good judgment. is cool
headed and determined in whatever he
undertakes that he believes to be right.
He is a good business man, is honest
and honorable in dealing with his fell
low-men, and on the bench as one of
the Judges of the County Court he
would never hesitate to do what he be-
lieved to be his duty.
We r personally acquainted with
MI. Sachse and We are frank in saying
that there Is NO bother manin the county
who, in our Judgment, would make .
better County Judge than Theo.
Sachse.

REED ON
the Limitations of Demo-
cratic Morality.

The Hon. Thomas B. Reed talks as
follows about the tariff bill of ''pertidy
and dishonor:"
But the Democracy has limitations
as to morality very enlarged. That
said in jest-that nobody was truly
unassailable until his character has
gone. The tariff bill of ''perfidy and
dishonOr'' has become a law, and an
interesting law it is. How a Demo-
cratic House. believing in the platform
of its party, could have passed it,
having 100 majority, is simply incom-
prehensible. How the President could
have permitted it to become a law is
simply an impossible study of human
nature. How can the country reconcile
this action with its former estimate of
him. He was deemed by a very large
part of the people as a man of sound
common sense. and of great will
power. His reputation for good sense
certainly had a shock in the case of
the Sandwich Islands, and this is more
likely to suffer from the contrast be-
tween the letter to Wilson and the sur
render to German. l was not one of
those who expected such a result. Sur
render was in the capitulation. He
ought to have handed in his side arms
and signed the bill. If he did not
consent, then, by both House and Sem
ate, he has been pronounced to be not
even a factor in the transaction. Here
after the President, instead of standing
on a mugwump and unreal pedestal.
must be reconed with the rest of them,
and the regrets will not all be on the
Democratic side.
The truth about the Wilson bill is
that it was a foolish bill when it went
out of the Ways and Means Committee,
and was made still more foolish in the
House. 1t had neither policy nor
practice, and yet it has been erected
into a golden calf to be worshiped by
party conventions, and that, too, with
the consent and approval of their own
Moses.
The Senate bill does have some re-
gard to the business of the country in
spots, but it will prove a failure like
the other, though not to the same de-
gree. The strikes in Fall River, New
Bedford and elsewhere over the cotton
schedule, said 10 be the best ever made,
shows, as a prominent Democratic
capitalist put it. that labor has got
to liquidate."
Stocks have Aquidated, that is, gone
down one-hslf, except Sugar. Labor
is to do the same. But there will be
this difference: St9pka sre submissive;
laborers are not

A Washington dispatch says: 1.-THE
records of the Bureau of Navigation,
Treasury Department, show hat dur
ing the past fiscal year there were
built in the United States and officially
numbered 53S wooden sailing vessels
of 81, 718 tons and 308 wooden steam
vessels of A, 15S tons. During the
same period three iron Dr. steel sailing
vessels were built of $3.50 tons and
forty-five iron or steel steam vessels
of Il, 40 tons. These sailing vessels
aggregated 451 in number and ~, 400
tons in measure. The steam vessels
aggregated 353 in number and measur-
ed 81, 934 tons. The entire number of
vessels built and numbered was $40.

Prof. Wilson's chief praise comes
from England. There the hatred for
Mckinley, which began in 1896. has
been replaced by adulatiOn of Grover
and his right hand man. But this
reminds US that We really do not care
particularly for Great Britain, and
that she has a parliament of her own.
The only way we can retaliate is to
get Lord Rosebery to legislate a little
for US. However, his administration,
unlike Clevelsnd's, is for the home
country first; hence We are not likely
to secure assistance from that quar-
ter.

1t is understood that the Hon. J. j..
Sawyer will again be the Republican
nominee for the Legislature in this
county. Mr.. Sawyer is one of the
strongest men the party and he made
us a good and faithful representative
in the last General Assembly. He de-
feated the strongest man in the Demo-
cratic party two years ago and he will
defeat any man that party puts up this
year.

The agricultural appropriation bill.
recently passed by Congress. contains
a provision for the regular issue OF
farmers bulletins to be distributed by

His Mouth is Too Big.

There is one candidate in this county
whose mouth is entirely too large for
the size of his head. and that opening
to his digestable organs is going to
get the poor fellow in trouble. 1t is
too bad thatsome men are born natural
liars, but there are men born that way
and we have one running for Office in
this county. 1t is not necessary for
us to call names.

Now let us boom business. The tar
if debate is out of the way. and GER
tainty takes the place of uncertainty.
While the basis necessarily means
permanently lower wages than ruled
up to the summer of 1893. there is no
reason that everything should not
start up briskly on the lower plane,
and the measure of prosperity which
is possible under the new conditions
be realized during the coming autumn.

Let there be no trading done in the

Advantage is being taken of the
general depression of business and
scarcity of employment by many manu-
facturs to force a reduction of wages
in resuming their business operations.
This is most unjust and must lead to
early troubles between employers and
employed in the future.

The three candidates for Congress
in this District should meet in the

The Democratic papers of this
county are advising the Democrats not
to offer themselves for Office. They
say it is policy for the Office to seek
the man. There is no necessity for
getting excited over this matter. There
are few men to offer for Office when
they know there is no chance of being
elected.

The value and necessity of home

1880 were only go, 0O0. 900.
