Two Opinions.

Below We give two opinions OF the
recent congress, by prominent men:
CIVILIAN +. WILSON congress
has accomplished number OF useful
things. 1t has repealed the purchasing
clause Of tho Sherman act and 1t has
passed tariff reform bill. The value
OF these accomplishments cannot be
overestimated
By repeating the silver purchase clause
OF the Sherman law this congress has
laid the foundation for q sound financial
system. By enacting > tariff reform
bill this congres has carried out demo-
cratic pledges. The house particularly
acquitted itself well in this particular.
The impotence of congress in dealing
with financial legislation during the ses-
sion just ended was due to the fact that
under universal suffrage congress rep
resents the people Of the country. Con-
gress is tho mirror of the peoples views
The people have not made up theil
minds on the financial question. and
congress mirrors the different shades o.
belief and opinion. But campaign o.
education has been beguc.
Nelson w. ALDRIcH.-The World itsel
says that there has seldom been more
disappointing congress than the Fifty
third, or one that missed and misused
greater opportunities for public service
and party prestige. In this | can con
cur, although it is the opinion OF I
Democratic newspaper. Nothing, how
ever, that can say would alter thu
opinion of the people at Large on th'
terrible mistakes made by this congress
Its recors will be condemned by ever
American. irrespective OF iss political Be
lief, unless he is the blindest OF parsi
sans. With such record there 10 n
necessity for reflection upon the deed
OF dead congress.

The msjority of the special committee
OF the house appointed to inquire into
the causes of the agricultural depression
prepared a report saying: "Since 1860
the purchasing capacity of the dollar, to
secure which the farmer sells his pro-
ducts, has increased four fold while the
power to pay his taxes and debts have
remained at a standstlll." Discussing
the causes cf the depression the commit
tee says: Glass legislation OF the worst
character has encumbered the statute
books and been carried on to the detri-
ment Of the agricultural and its depend
ent industries for thirty years. culminat-
ing in the crime of the age, the denoni-
tizatioa of silver iusiS73. Denomination
of silver was bold stroke in the interest
of capital that has reduced the valne of
every product in the world To secure
relie: the committee made the following
suggestions: First Silver should be
remonitized at ratio of Is tol. Second
Sd long as the present unjust and un-
equal system OF protection continues,
agriculture should receive lis just pro-
portion, and as this cannot be secured
By a protective tariff, bounty on ex-
p ,rted agricultural staples should be al
loved similar to that on fish in 1918, for
H.sirh John C Calhoun voted. Third
Gambling in futures should be pre-
vented by Law. Fourth-A national pure
f5ed law should be enacted.

A Kansas exchange tells OF man who
mortgaged his farm to buy his wife s
pair OF diamond earrings. The wife
took in washing to pay interest on the
mortgage, but on the first job lost one o.
the sparks" in the suds, whereupou
she trie1 to hang herself in the barn. but
the rope broke and she fell ON Jersey COW
worth $50 and broke its back. Her hus
band then undertook TO shoot the COW tc
pat it out of its misery, but the gun burst
and destroyed his eyes, and the wife ther
ran away with a lightning rod peddier
The mortgage is still on deck and bids fail
to live to ripe old age, All of which in
dicates that there is in Kansas one Of tn.
biggest liars in the e. S.

Verdict of the Leaders.

Under this head the World has been
publishing the opinions of prominent
men on the recent congress. Below we
give the first, that of Vice President
Stevenson.
The most important law enacted, by
all odds, is the tariff law OF 1894. The
Importance OF this great measure can
not be over-stated. 1t has largely re-
duced to the people the cost OF many OF
the necessaries of life. 1t has given
them free lumber, free wool
and free salt, and in no small degree re-
duced d the cost to the consumer CT many
other articles OF prime necessity. Of
still greater importance, it secures to
the government sufficient revenues with
which to meet it's current expenses.
The revenues during the last fiscal
year OF the Mckinley Tariff law were
much less the expenditures OF the gov
ernment. The deficit was more than
500, 600 900. Under the new law
enacted by the Fifty-third congress we
have the assurance of the secretary OF
the treasury that there will be surplus
of from $50, ,000, 900 to $50, ,00o, 900.
While regret that some OF the i'm
portant features of tie tariff bill! as it
came from the House of Representatives
were not retained by The Senate, yet,
taking it asa whole, the tariff law al
this congress is the best this country has
known since tho Walker tariff of 1916,
Time will yindicate the wisdom of this
legislation.
This congress deserves the thanks oi
the country Tor what it has done to
build up the navy. This arm of ou'
national defense has been most gener-
ouslY dealt with, and believe the ap-
preparation is, wish but one exception,
the largest ever made by the congress
for the maintenance and increase of the
navy.
Another important act Of the expir-
ing congress is that repealing the OBJ
noxious Federal Elections laws, enacted
just as the country had emerged from
the throes OF war. Their continuation
upon the statute books was a msnace to
tue freedom of the ballot-box.
Much other important legislation has
been enacted, but the laws | have in
dicated I regard as of greatest moment

Washington Letter.
From cur regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, March 4th, 1895.
President Cleveland certainly had
cause to be glal when the fall of the
gayels OF Vice President Stevenson and
Speaker Crisp announced the legal end
OF the Fifty third congress. Itisnot be-
lieved that any other president has
ever had a physical task imposed up
on him as has bten performed by Presi-
dent Cieve' and IN the last 48 hours of
almost continual work of the most wear
ing sort. Up to Saturday only two of
the thirteen regular appropriation bills
had become laws-an unprecedented
sta.e OF affairs-and eight of them were
still in conference. Since then they
have al been acted upon. To get an
idea OF the enormous amount of work
the president had to perform it must be
remembered thst tie more important OF
these appropriation bills consist of hun
dreds OF pages Of itemized appropria-
tions, and that President Cleveland
never signs his name to anything with
out knowing just what it is, although he
had in this case to sign bills containing
items and amendments that were de-
cdedl? o1jecl because the bills
containing them ccGld not be vetoed
without making an immediate extra ses-
sion NECESSARY, something that he had
No drs.se TO do. ii II could possibly be
ay DIdet
Il - fashionable to abuse congress
but iien one takes the trouble to go
carefully oser the work CT the Fifty.
third congress, it will be seen that there
is little cause for abuse from anybody
and none for abuse from democrats.
True, .his congress did not meet the ex-I
pectations OF the president as to financial
legis alton. Out why was it? The DEM
o:rati; party has always Taught that the
first d1ty OF a senator ora representa-
tive was to represent his continents.
We'll that il precisely what the demo
crats in the nrte ard house of the
Eiity-thir congress DID.
1t is no. often that MEMBERS of the
opp0s;ti IN party pay az high tribute to
the ability and patriotism OF a member
Of the CABINET as Senators Aldrich, OF
r L., and lodge, OF Mass. did to Secre-
tary Herberi's estimates for the Naval
Appropriation. Secretary Herbert has
every right to feel proud of such compli-
ments, deserved though they were.
Among those who extended congrAtu-
lations to Postmaster General Wilson
who succeeds Mr. Bissell, was General
John E. Mulford, of New York, now
visiting his old time colleague in the ar
rang ments for the exchange of Union
anu Confederate prisoners, Represents
tive Hatch, of No. 1t was the first time
Mr.. Wilson had met Gen. Mulford since
the war. Grasping him warmly by the
hand the new Postmaster General said /:
General, am oyerioyed to meet you
again. You had me in charge as a
prisoner of war. ] have meyer forgotten
from that hou: to this your soldierly
bearing, your genuine courtesy, and the
kindly interest you took in every
prisoner on your boat on that occasion.
/ greet you with the greatest kindness
and respect.

The spakane Chronicle in a

The Spakane Chronicle in a long edi-
torisl tells of the great advantage o.
creameries 20 that country. They are
making the farmers prosperous where
they were having their hands full before.
A Cheney farmer had $500 mortgage
on his farm which he could not lift try
as he would with wheat and other pro-
ducts; but the mortgage remained the
same. Last year he began taking his
milk to the creamery and now he does
not owe a ceat.
