The Philadelphia city election re-

tory. Ex-Governor Pattison, the Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor, was
showed under by somewhere between
1000 and 60, 200 majority for Charles
F. Warwick, the Republican candi-
date. The Democrats were sanguine
of success, because there were two re-
form organizations-the Municipal
League and the Citizens Committee
whose efforts were directed to turning
down certain councilmen whose re-
cords justified that step. The Dem

Chicago has taken a most impor-
tsnt forward step in her career as a
commercial and financial center
through the action OF the First Nation
al bank OF that city. 1t has inaugur-
ated an arrangement with 600 Western
interior banks, whereby the practice
of paying debts in the ordinary course
of trade between merchants of differ
ent cities with New York exchange will
no longer continue. Chicago will
hereafter draw bills of exchange on
these 900 interior banks direct, and
merchants in those towns can obtain
drafts on Chicago for the asking. The
other Chicago banks, it is said, will
follow this example, which will avoid
the necessity on their part of carrying
heavy balances in New York We
long ago predicted that Chicago
would become the financial center OF
the West, as it is the commercial con-
ter, and finds in this action a long
step taken in the direction OF its reali-
cation.

having been explained that such bonds
could only be sold at a high rate OF
interest, the House sacrificed personal

EXCESS OF
Riotous Extravaganza of the Demo-

Riotous Extravaganza of the Demo
cratic Majority Without Example.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 26.
This Congress grows worse as il
nears its end. Sayers and Dockery.
the two Democrats who are trying to
ave their party in the House from
committing all manner of excuses in
the way OF appropriations, are aghast
at the spirit shown by the majority.
The general deficiency, the last of the
appropriation bills, is so loaded down
that the Chairman of the committee
was constrained to vote against the
bill on its final passage. If the meas
ure with all these loads upon it is ap-
proved by the Senate there will be a
disposition among those responsible
for appropriations to accomplish by
some means the defeat of the bill. The
failure of this bill would not necessar
lily cause an extra session.
The extravaganza to which the House
went in voting gratuities to employees
and to the members themselves is
characterized as without example. The
extra months pays to employees
amounts to a very large item O: the
expenditures, but similar payments
are frequently made at the close of
Congress. The House, however. has
gone beyond this in appropriating
stated sums as extra compensation,
and in the provision for an extra
months pay for members clerks they
appropriate what amounts to a dona-
ton of 500 to each of the members.
There is no such roll on the books of
the House IS the clerks to members,
but the appropriation not to exceed
500 each to be expended by members
for assistance is made. They may
employ a differentperson each day and
may expend 81 or 800. This provi-
sion for an extra months pay does
not, therefore, go to any particular
employe, but to the member himself,
to be appropriated as he p~leases.
Hereafter it will be enough to put a
man under the ban to say that he be-
longed to the Fifty-third Congress.
Never was there a worse spirit mani
tested in the closing hours of a Con-
gress. 1t is not a spirit which divides
along party lines. 1t is q spirit of
irritation sometimes and ofinditference
at other times, and it manifests itself
in individuals rather than by parties.
Quarrels spring up and debate is
long drawn out on minor matters. For
example, to-day two Senators-Gor-
man and Berry of Arkansas-got into
a contention we the appropriation
for timber inspectors, and grew irri-
tated and personal in their remarks,
each insinuating that what the other
said was not true and coming as near
the direct accusation of falsehood as
is permitted in parliamentary lam
guage. This small question was dis
cussed as il it was the only provision
in the bill worthy of consideration,
and as If the saving Of time were no
object. In neither house is there much
recognition Of leadership, nor devotion
to a definite policy. The party policy
of the Democrats in tho House is diff
ferent from that OF tho Democrats in
the Senate, and in each house there is
disregard on the part OF a large
number OF the members of any plan or
policy which those in authority may
