WEDNESDAY, March 6, 1895.
The term of the Fitty-third
Congress expired by limitation at
noon Monday, and its record Of
work done and left undone have
closed. 1t is much TO be regretted
that it will be chiefly known in
history as a Congress that left the |
bulk Of the work laid upon it un-
done, says the Philadelphia Times. |
Its tariff legislation, though i'm
portant and in Q sense epoch
making, was imperfectly done and
is left in serious need of repairs.
It leaves the finances ofthe coun-
try, in chaos with the revenues
less than the expenditures and
the power to borrow hampered by
legal uncertainty which increases
the rate Of interest, while the econ
omy promised when its Represen-
tiyes were elected has not been re-
allied, though this is scarcely
their fault. In justice it must be
said that many Of the difficulties
which the Fifty-third Congress en-
countered were a legacy of ex-
travagant and mischievous Re
publican rule; The Mckinley
bill and extrayagant expenditures
had brought the Treasury to the
verge Of bankruptcy when Presi-
dent Cleveland summoned Con-
gress in extra session; the Sher-
man. silver purchase law had
destroyed financial confidence,
and foreign nations were indulg-
ing in retaliatory legislation
against our war tariff policy, thus
narrowing the market for our
agricultural products. If the Re
publicans had remained in power
the bankrupt Treasury, business
depression and financial chaos
would all have followed as logical
results Of Republican legislation.
With the legacy of Republican
misrule confronting it at the very
start it was the duty of the Fifty
third Congress by wise statesman
ship to increase the revenues, re.
store financial confidence, decrease
expenditures and enlarge rather
than restrict the markets fol
American products. In all these
things it has signally failed, and
that in the face Of light and
knowledge. It's Democratic ma
iOrity failed to follow She advic,
Of the President, the logical lead
er Of his party, and equally failed
to agree on any sound or coherent
policy Of its own. It was a Con,
gress ofcranks and cliques which
fell into disrepute about every.
thing and could agree about moth.
ing. In view of the inherent in.
capacity displayed by the Con.
gress which expired Monday
il is not to be wondered at that
the party it represented was every.
where beaten at the last election
Republican misruls was bad
enough, but Democratic incom
potency was worse. A party with
avicious policy was better thar
aparty that could formulate NJ
policy, good, bad or Indifferent
and the Fifty-third Congress viii
vanished from public view re
GREETED by nobody, and the coun
try will turn with what hope &

NEEDS NO PROTECTION.

EnSlRnds Royal Family Moves About
without the Necessity OF Guards.
The news that little Prince Edward
OF York numbered detective and
constable among his suite of attend
ants savored of the ridiculous to those
who know with what absolute freedom
and safety the children and grand
children of the queen move about their
own country, says n writer in ST.
lauls. The queen herself drives from
end to end of her various estates with
no more protection than can be
afforded by middlc-agcd Scotch
gillic The prince of Wales, his broth
ers, and his son pcrambulatc club
land and the West End in exactly the
same manner as do the most ordinary
of Englishmen. Indeed, the prince of
Wales is scarcely ever attended by an
cquerry, except when he rides in the
row. The princess and her daughters
drive all over London entirely unac-
companicd, save when in the height of
the season mounted policeman clears
the road for them through the park.
The duke of York takes an early luorn-
ing stroll in the Green park, invari-
ably alone, while all the royal prin-
cesscs walk down Bond street, shop.
or drive in hansoms without anyone
either protecting or molcsting them.
Apropos of police protection for row
atty the prince of Wales has funny
story against himself. He was in Paris,
and was strolling alone, as usual, one
fine morning, down the boulevards.
Stopping to chat to n friend, he COM
mentcd with considerable glee on the
fact that he was able to go about Paris
quite at his case, and untrammcllcd by
guards, police, or ceremonies of any
kind, and that, in fact, nobody knew
him. The prince was immensely
amused afterward to Learn that the
French government are not SO careless
as might be supposed, and that large
staff of cspions in plain clothes watch
the prince from morning till night, and
that on the very day he made the boast
to his friend at least score of police
were "shadowing" him at but a few
yards distance.

An article upon evolution which re-
Gently appeared in the New York Sun
referred to the tendency of the human
infant to work its toes, which have at
this early period of life something of
the feasibility and aptitude of fingers.
Examples of this aptitude perpetuated
in the adult may sometimes be seen in
warm weather at the New York docks
aboard sailing vessels where Lascars
are employed as sailors. These active
little barefooted men in fezzes and
suits of blue dungarec make free use
of their toes in climbing the rigging,
and it is an interesting sight to sec one
of them in tarring down n backstav
run backward and forward upon the
tant rope holding to it by one hand,
and by his feet, in which the great toe
is used in the manner of thumb. This
toe IS slightly separated from the 9TH
crs, and from the use made of it in
climbing acquires n distinctive shape
suggestive of the corresponding mem
bcrs upon the sinian foot.
