CLOSE OF THE SESSION.

But for the shameless combine Of Dem
ocrats and Populisis in the Senate the
session of Congress Just closed would
have been far more fruitful in needed leg
islation than il has been. Indeed, a very
distinct and definite idea OF the work
that would have been accomplished is
furnished by that done by the House OF
Representatives,. Fortunately the Repuh-
licsns have there an unhampered ma
iority which enabled them to pass with
out unnecessary delay such measures as
the condition OF the country and the
needs OF the people demanded. There the
united forces OF Democracy and Popu-
lism were powerloss TO prevent legisla-
tion. They were equally powerloss to
pass any Of. the wild, senseless and sin.

for concurrence, fact TO which in one

president for another year. Mr.. Corbin,
however, had decreed otherwise, and had
secured proxies for a eood-sized majority
OF the stock.
Charles w. Fairbanks, who Is being
mentioned 30 frequently at present az q
good choice for chairman OF the st. Louis
convention acted as Mr.. Corbin's lieuten-
ant in this railroad pattle. He packed
tho proxies in his valise and with the
parties who were to assist him went to
Canton where the annual meeting, at
which Mr.. Blood was to be shunted out
OF the presidential seat, was to be held.
MIR. Blood presided and opened the polls
at the appointed time. The Corbin party
weren't in any hurry at oil In voting.
In fact they thought 1t would be a good
thing 10 wait till the Blood crowd got
through before taking a hand.
So they waited--a fatal mistakel
There were half hundred Blood sup
porters. When they had voted the Cor
bin men were still waiting.
Mr.. Blood inquired in a not very loud
voice II all had voted, and without wait
ing for an answer, ordered the polls
closed. Then howl went up from the
Corbinites, but IL didn't DO any good.
The ballot box was whisKed into another
room, the votes counted, and the Blood
candidates were declared elected.
Corbin went 20 the courts to get Justice,
but as il was two years before he could
get decision there wasn't much satisfac-
tion 10 be obtained by that means.
In the meantime Mr.. Blood got what
he wanted out of the road and by the
time a decision was reached, was reaay
to hand over the road. Curiously
enough, by that time also Mr.. Corbin
didn't want the road either. -

The annual celebration of the Republi-

successful gathering. The principal adj
dress Of the occasion was delivered by ex-
Governor ID. Russell Brown, under whoss
candidacy several years ago the Rhode
Island Republicans wrcsted the state
from the Democracy and brought it back
to its old allegiance.
Governor Browns services at that time

the campaign, "a return to our former

as are necessary to give protection to all

Democrats and yaunting Populists in the
Senate, passed the bill, which at the time
Senator HAwLEY very aptIy characterized
as meaning reputation, bankruptcy,
anarchy and infamy. Happily there is
now no danger Of such contamination.
a Republican House, animated by senii-
ments of patriotism, justice and right,
has proven worthy of the trust reposed
in 1t, by valiantly preserving and main
taining tho good name of the nation
against the assaults made upon 1t, and
upon the very foundation Of its great
ness, its financial honor. The bond bill
was throt.Ied to deoth and cannot again
be galvanized into lire 10 threaten ana
dismay the people or menace their indus
trial or commercial concerns.
1t is not IN the killing of this mon
strous and outrageous measure that tho
House has proven its determination 10
subservo and promore the interests Of the
country and the people. When the Presi-
dent appealed TO Congress early in the
session to take some action for the relief
of the treasury, the House apprccleting
the gravity of the situation took no
thought OF the opportunities offered for
gaining partisan advantage from the
exigercies of the administration, but on
the contrary bent its energies to framing
and passing measures calculated TO afford
the relief asked-relief which every man
in or out OF Office, not blinded by party
considerat ions knew was absolutely de-
manded. These were the emergency
revenue and the bond bills and, like
others, they were killed by the Democrats
and Populists in the Senate vixen the
House refused to support as payment for
their passage, free silver coinage bill.
Bills restricting immigration, provid
ing uniformity in bankruptcy proceed
ings, simplifying pension legislation,
and several other equally Suluable and
necessary measures were enacted by the
House only to be shelved in the Senate
There were decided at this session also
an unusually large number of contested
election cases, and here again the House
displayed its freedom from petty PARTISAN
bias and its desire to mete out exact and
even-handcd justice. In proof of this ii
is only necessary to instance the fact that
OF the 'thirty-two cases disposed of,
seventeen were determined in favor OF
the Democratic contestants.- Looking at
the splendid record made by the House
under the mastery and manly direction
OF Speaker Reed, one can only regret
that untoward conditions and deluded
electorate should have been able to send
to the Senate sucn political swssh bucklers
as have controlled 1t during the session
just closed, to nullify and render worth
less the good work accomplished by the
Republican majority in the lower house.
