THE FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS

The Fifty third Congress has become
ant chapter to refer to Its principal utility
will be its lesson to future Congresses to
avoid the blunders, extravagances and in
competency that have marked the past two
years in the National Capital.
The scenes at the close of Congress have
often been described and there is seldom any
variety. Those of the one which closed on
Monday, however, differed from former Con
gressional death scenes.
Sunday was ignored and unusual crowds
visited and thronged around the big marble
buildings on Capitol Hill. Legislatvely
speaking it was March end. The doors of
the Capitol were wide open and 25 900 PEG.
Pile are represented to have entered and left
the building during the day.
The clerks, doorkeepers, messengers and
pages, with eyes red for lack of sleep and
feet weary with travelling the labyrinths OF
the Capitol, pushed about all day as though
Sunday was not in the calendar
Vice President Stevenson aud Speaker
Crisp were each in command of his partic.
ular branch of Congress. They were hoarse
with giving orders, putting questions and
pleading for order on the floor The read
ing clerks could scarcely articulate, and the
members, at least those who took the leading
part, seemed to be suffering from great ia.
tigue.
The jobs that were attempted during the
two weeks prior to the adjournment were
so patent tina, they naturally attracted more
attention than others that were smothered
up.
The sugar bounty Of something like S..
100000, that was tackled on to the sundry
civil bill, is said to have been secured by the
exertions OF the strongest lobby that ever
besieged Congress. There are rumors to the
effect that 20 per cent Of this vast sum will
be divided as contingent fee to the "pro
mosers," who have haunted the Capitol by
scores. Every man who is known as loby
ist was at the Capitol laboring for days on
this legacy of McKinleyism.
Ex.members of Congress who by cour-
tesy are allowed the privilege OF the floor
abused that courtesy by openly lobbying for
various jobs. 1t is some satisfaction to know
that the bare. faced attempt of Senator Cam
eron, of Pennsylvania, to have the govern
ment purchase the Blaine property in order
10 preserve the southern view from his
home failed.

MR.. WILSON IN TIE CABINET

The appointment of the Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson as Postmaster General in place Of
Mr. Bssell, resigned, is creditable TO Presi-
dent Cleveland as it is compliment to Mr..
Wilson for distinguished services rendered
the party and country.
Mr.. Wilson is an able man and a staunch
Democrat He has never been in line with
the monOpoles and trusts, or trucker to the
money power. HIS public career has been
as brilliant as il has been useful The New
York Herald, in speaking Of Mr.. Wilson's
appointment to the cabinet, says:
"At the first session of the present Con
gress he was intrusted with the charge of
the bill repeating the mischief. working sill.
yer purchase law. The bill was through the
House in three weeks from the day of meet
ing At the regular session Mr.. Wilson Sc
cured the passage with equal promptness Of
bill reforming the tariff in fulfillment Of
Democratic pledges. He was not response.
bic for its mutilation by the Senate.
"Mr. Wilson went down under the tidal
wave in November after gallant fight
against odds, increased by the outpouring
of Pennsylvania money in his district to de,
feat him.
"lf Mr.. Wilson shall retain his independ
ence OF character and the high courage of
honest convictions which he has often dis.
played heretofore, he will make valuable
counselor to the President. Mr.. Cleveland
needs the frank and honest advice of friend
who knows what the people are thinking
and is not afraid to tell it. He has suffered
from too much concealment, acquesceHce
and fattery."

LOOKING TO THE LEvEE.

Tho Granting OF the Terminal Company
Track Rights Along the River.
The city council after going over
the line of the right of way sought for
the lower bridge by the projectors OF
the Davenport & Rock Island Bridge
and Terminal company. with F. r.
Blair, representing the enterprise,
yesterday afternoon seemed disposed
to grant the ordinance applied for
without further delay, but finally ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow
evening. when the impression is the
ordinance will pass. That the alder
men will make such reservations as
will protect the river front and in.
sure the maintenance of good levee
such as Rock Island has for wears
needed, it is reasonable to expect.
The ARGUS has always been the
champion of improved means of
communication between the three
cities and anything that looks to the
development and expansion of COM
mercial Intercourse should receive
the warmest support consistent with
lawful procedure and broad consid-
Grafton for such other interests as
are equally essential to our CONNER
cial prosperity.
Tho Levee.
As the ordinance under considera.
ton provides for the line of the pro-
posed track rights north of the tracks
at present occupying First avenue.
and as far east as Fifteenth street at
least, it seems, as far as the best in
terests of the city concerned, this is
the proper place. and the chief ques.
tion is that affecting the levee. 1t is
possible that with the ordinance
carefully drawn, as it apparently is,
as far as the city as well as the cor
pOration is concerned, the usefulness
of the levee will not be interfered
with in the least. Yet river men con-
tend that the contrary is true. This
being the situation the aldermen
should have the most intelligent un-
derstanding of every possible and
future contingency that may affect
our river interests. City Attorney
Haas stated this morning that he
had examined the ordinance carefully
and that it was drawn with every
possible safeguard as regards the
protection Of the city. and that there
is no provision contained in it that
is in anyway in conflict with the law
pertaining to such cases. 1t was
only necessary that when granted
the ordinance be enforced to the let
ter on the part of the city now and
in the future.
The ARGUS believes in throwing no
obstacle in the way of the lower
bridge. Rock Island stands in no
fear of the consequence of added
transportation facilities, and it is a
fallacy to put such a representation
on the city. 1t is only desirable that
the council act advisedly in the pre-
misses

Murphy made a written confession
and addressed it to the officers of the

of his downfall. Murphy confessed
that liquor and the gambling table
had been responsible for the disap-
Pearance of the money. Murphy's
repentant story worked on the sym
