were the proGnoslcailons Of those in whose
minds the wish was father to the thought re-
gartlless of the fact that the House was led
by men of more than ordinary patriotism. ability
and courage. How wide Of the mark they were
is now most clearly 10 be seen. The end of the
session is at hand. Practically, the work Of the
House Is done, and that body is only waiting
for The Senate 10 catch up with II, to be ready
for adjournment The session has been n brief
one, compared with those that have preceded II
in recent years. 1t has been. on the whole n
quiet and uncxciting one But 1t has been more
than ordinarily busy and productive of legsla-
ton for the general good of the country.
The chief issue that confronted Congress at
the opening of the session was that Of the Ma
tional revenue. The wretched travesty of n
revenue tariff" fostcd upon the country by
Mr.. Cleveland and his followers, had proven
altogether inadequate. Instead Of surplus
there was a chronic deficit In the Treasury The
income OF tho Nation was less than It's outgo.
Money had TO be borrowed and the public debt
vastly increased to meet the running expenses
Of the Government. The amazing spectacle was
presented Of the richest Nation in the world at
time OF profound peace and of great pros
perity in other lands. soliciting loans from for
cign moncy-lenders TO save II from bankruptcy
No wonder Mr. Cleveland set up a frantic cry
for help. He was in n sorry scTape Of his own
devising, and he was compelled TO turn TO his
political opponents, who had done their best to
keep him out Of such mess, but whose counsel
he had scorned and whose efforts he had resent
ed-he was compelled by his own folly to turn
TO them for assistance and salvation.
The response was prompt and patriotic. lay
ing aside all partisan chickering's. the House came
to the aid Of the Administration as readily as
though the latter had been Republican instead Of
Democratic. Within fortnight two efficient
measures of relief were framed. and In few
days more were passed and sent 10 the Senate.
They were nnquestionably adequate to satisfy
the requirements Of the Treasury and to put
the Government once more on the sound Gnan-
clal basis from which the Cleveland Democracy
had dragged il down. But with monument tai

In the Senate resisted their adoption by that
body. The Presidents political opponents had
generously responded to his appeal. but his own
political supporters now refused 1t. Let the re-
sponsbility be clearly fixed and well remem-
bered. 1t was the Democrats Of the Senate.

Anything that relieves pressure on the courts
and facilitates the progress of cases through
them win be welcomed by lawyers and by the
public generally. A bill with this purpose in
view has just received the approval of the Gov
crnor. 1t will materially reduce the number of
appeals to the court of last resort for In certain
cases 1t provides that the finding Of the Appel
late Division shall be final If the Judges are
unanimous. unless they certify that there is a
question Of law involved on which the Court of
Appeals should pass. This is step in the right
direction and it will not interfere with the in
terests Of justice and equity.

Gates Of consolidation in Brooklyn to propose to
fire a salute of 100 guns in one Of the public
parks in celebration Of the signing of the i'll
advised and irrational bill which Patt. LexOw
and Company have succeeded in forcing on this
metropolitan community. Fortunately, they
were not able to secure a permit, being repulsed
in succession by the Mayor the Police Commits
sioner and the Park Commissioner. The latter
took the sensible ground that such a salute in
city park would be as gross violation of pro-
priety as a similar demonstration in token Of
the success of one political party over another.
