it Will Be a Good-for- Nothing Congress.

The man from Maine has evidently made
up his mind to rule the present Congress
with even n more autocratic hand than
the one that guided the affairs of the Con-
gress that brought on the defeat OF the
Republican party in 1892. He has placed
Dingley of Maine at the head OF the Ways
and Means Committee, Boutelle of Maine
in charge of naval affairs, Mllikcn of
Maine at the top of another important
committee, and has selected as his chief
lieutenants in manipulating financial af-
fairs Cannon of Illinois, Payne of New
York and Walker of Massachusetts.
Several months ago Speaker Reed an
nounced that this would be a dO-nothing
Congress. From his standpoint IL will fully
verify his prediction. No financial meas
ure can be passed that is not constructed with
wheels SO long as Chairman Walker is in
charge and the Maine. family of statesmen,

will see that measures for the relief OF the
country are weighted with riders OF such
nature as to invoke Executive disap-
prevail should they succeed in PASSING the
Senate.
But in the minds Of the public this has
not been a dO-nottiing Congress, even should
it adjourn sine die tomorrow. At the
instigation OF the President 1t has created
rupture of friendly relations with Eng
land and gone on record as a rulnp legisla-
tive body that would have done credit to
cromwelfs time. The halo Of lingo red fire
that lighted up the passage OF the Yene-
zuelan bill has left in its wake a financial
upheaval, and the term -do-nothing applied
to its efforts must be accepted in the
same way it is used TO designate IA good
fOr-nothing child.
