Senator Morgan wasn't mealy-mouthed
about the reported intention of the British
government to pay the damages allowed by
Secretary Gresham to Canadian sealers in
Boring Sea. He said in u speech in the
Senate: "Sir George Baden-Powel says
that they want to pay the Canadians and the
recalcitrant and rascaly Americans who
hired themselves out under the British flag
to rob the government OF the U. s.. violate
its law, and dishonor the country-and pay
them in advance, so AS to have a moral claim
against the U. s.. for this S'425.0C0. not one

propose that the committee on Foreign
Relations shall investigate that matter. There
has been enough of ialsehood and misrepre-
sentation about this in official documents
and in the newspapers to require, for the
vindication of the honor of the country,
that this investigation shall be made" Mr..
Morgan was one of the Boring Sea arbitrators
and knows this subject thoroughly.

A SUCCESSFUL lad" WRITER.

Mr.. Manly NJ. Gillian, who has been the
John Wanamaker advertiser since 1886,
has resigned to take charge of the advertis-

house of A. I. Stewart & Co.
In his new position it is said that Mr..

THE PASSING OF CONGRESS.

When the Fifty-third Congress adjourned
at noon on Monday, the people of this
country sighed breath of relief and the
occasion became one of general congratula
ton.
There is nothing very tlattery to Amer
icln pride, in the fact that the imbecility
of this Congress is unparalleled in the his
tory of American Legislation, and that tn,
record of its follies is unsparingly crit;
cised by the press of the entire nation.
Yet, the fact is none the less true that
after two years of Democratic rule, the
American people find the machinery OF
their government in disorder, their indus
tries Frustrated, their financial system
impaired, their treasury depleted, and thei,
National debt increased.
At IA time when the skill and prudence
of the highest craftsmanship We're needed
for relieving the country of the evils Of Il
panic, Congress was not only incapable of
proposing remedy but went continuously
from bad to worse in aggravating the ruin
that attended its advent to power. After
it had made "a bad tariff, after it had plunged
the business of the country into fresh dis
aster, after it had brought the Treasury to
the verge of bankruptcy. after it had Lecn
signally repudiated by the people, an
when some CLEAN of patriotism and COM
.;,,ht h., .tNI
only for the sake Of the Democracy itself it
came together last December confronted by
an all but universal demand for correc-
ton of some of its own follies. But for
three months past it has presented an
amazing spectacle of dwelling impotency
and paralysis, and it now hands over to its
legacy of it's original plumbers and absur
dities.

revenue equal to the needs of the govern.

incomes of the people; Il reduction of the

in time of profound peace: currency in
disorder and loss to American industry
which, if it could be accurately estimated,
would probably equal the losses of four
Years of civil war, are the most conspicuous
outcomes of the imbecility of the Fifty
third Congress.
There is for Sntiefo,,ti,n in
looking back on this record of incompetency
and dishonor and that is that it has
brought the Democratic party itself, as well
as the country to the verge of ruin. To-day
it is more distrusted and more demoralized
than it has ever been since the close of the
war, even in the time of the Greedy tiasco.
1t is without principle around which it
can hope to make united rally it has
completely Destroyed the one issue, the
the tariff, which lad held it together under
the leadership of Cleveland; and on the fin
ancial question it is discovered and dis
cordapt beyond the hope of future unity.
The Democrats 90 back to their consti-
tutents without policy, most of them hos
tile to their own President and not Il few of
them clamoring outright for the organiza-
ton OF new party on the basis of free
silver. A more pitiable exhibition OF
humiliation and helplessness and general
cussedness, following great victory in the
course of two years, is absolutely without
precedent in our history.

SECRETARY MORTON makes plain
question of yeracity with those European
governments which are excluding Ameri-
can meat on the alleged ground that it is
infected with contagious diseases. The
Secretary, whose business it is to know if
any cattle disease exists in this country,
says very explicitly over his official sigma
ture that "all the domestic animals of the
United States are in splendid sanitary con-
dition. There has not been a case of
pleuro- pneumonia in any part of the United
States or Territories during the last three
years There is no contagious, infectious
OF communicable disease now prevalent
among the domestic animals in any State
or Territory Of the American Union. There
mas not been, and there will not be, ship
ped to any European port any animal or
the products of any animal which has not
been inspected and declared healthy,
wholesome and edible
A declaration like this would afford
ground for every unpleasant complications
if our government chose to take issue with
Germany, Belgium and France for their
NnfIiendly action but it is not necessary to
do so. These governments are not hurting
the United States so much as their own
people, whom they are depriving of cheap
and wholesome food in order to force upon
them homegrown products at niger price.
