The billion dollar Congress of 1S9O
can no longer be used as 4 bugabOo
with which 10 frishten Democratic ba-
bies to sleep. Each session of the Con-
gress just closedspent over 500, 900, 900,
which brings the total expenditures cf
the 53rd Congress TO more than bill
lion. The principal things for which
this Congress viii be remembered are:
Adopting the Reed rules, spending
over a billion dollars and passing the
Wilson disaster bill.

The bill creating the Department Of
Agriculture has passed both houses and
is awaiting the Governors signature to
become law. The Grangers are par
ticularly anxious that it shall be signed
by the Governor and are flooding him
with petitions and memorials from
every quarter Of the State, urging him
to sign it. Nearly all the subordinate
oranges in the Commonwealth have
adopted resolutions endorsing it and
notifying the Governor of their action.
/ { Is probable that he Will sign the bill.

saws. .'were of course borrowed from
England, and all the queer and extra
neous fantasies attached to these doc
trines were borrowed with them, thus
putting American ideas and sentiments
in the background.
1t is certainly true that the Demo-
cratic party has forfeited the robust and
aggressive Americanism that charac-
terized il i'm former days. There is
nothing Jeffersonian or JacksOnian
about its present attitude towards for
eign nations. II was once noted for its
determined opposition TO the idea Of
initiating other countries or of being
dictated TO 10y them, but now it is
tamely willing to order its course ac-
cording to foreign methods and in obe-
dience TO foreign intimidation. The
American spirit seems To have oozed
out of ii, and ii looks TO Europe for in
spiration and guidance. 1t Is princi-
pally animated by what Mr.. Lodge
calls ''the melancholy doctrine that
there is no higher aim or purpose for
men and nations than to buy and sell,
10 trade iack-knives and make every
thing cheap" and in giving practical
effect to this doctrine, ii does not hesi-
tate to sacrifice patriotism in order TO
gain the favor of other countries. This
is one of the reasons why il has made
such a mess of the great work of con-
ducting the affairs of the Government
during the past two years. 1t is not in
sympathy with the best interests and
aspirations of the American people,
but has become denationalized in its
feelings and tendencies. Such party
is manifestly disqualified for sound and
effective service, and its present lease
Of power viii be its last one until it
learns that the policy OF surrender is
the policy of disaster and dishonor.
