DISAPPOINTED THE GALLERIES
NOTHING SENSATIONAL TOOK
PLACE IN CONGRESS.
Senate Bill Passed Aiding Wyoming
Soldiers Home-Census Bill-Pri-
vate Bill Day In House.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The galleries
We're filed today when the senate con-
vened, the crowd of spectators doubt
less being attracted by the probability
of further debate upon Cuban affairs
or matters connected with the catas-
trophe to the battleShip Maine.
The joint resolution providing for the
recovery of the bodies of officers and
men from the wrecked battleship and
for the recovery of valuable property
on the ship, which was passed by the
house of representative last week. was
presented to the senate and passed. 1t
carries an appropriation of 100000.
CENSUS BILL.
For three hours today the senate had
under discussion the bill providing for
the taking of the twelfth and subse-
quent censuses. 1t was so amended as
to place the census bureau under the
secretary of the interior, but the eX-
tended discussion that ensued disclosed
so wide a divergence of views on the
part of senators as to various features
of the measure that no further action
was taken. A resolution offered by
Mr.. Allen (Nebraska), directing the
committee on naval affairs to make an
investigation of the disaster to the bat
tleship Maine was adopted without de-
bate.
Among the bills passed were the fol-
lowing:
Granting to the state of Wyoming
10000 acres of land to aid in the con-
enlargement and mainten-
ance of the Wyoming state soldiers and
sailors home; and to amend an act to
prohibit the passage of local or special
laws in the territories, to limit terri
torial Indebtedness, etc.

IN THE HOUSE.

This was private bill day in the house,
but little was accomplished, owing to
the fact that some time was consumed
in the passage of private pension bills
coming over from the Friday night ses-
sion three weeks ago. The feature of the
day was the spirited contest over the
bill to pay Newberry college, the Lu-
theran institution in South Carolina,
$4,000 for damages by federal troops.
It was finally passed. On motion OF Mr..
Bailey the Democratic leader, the house
voted, So to So. to observe Washington's
birthday by adjourning over tomorrow,
but Mr.. Dingley raised the point of no
quorum, and before further action
could be taken, the house recessed I'M

TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.

Nevertheless continued NJ. Laborie,

not be allowed to pass amid mystery
and antiquities" (Renewed protests.)
NJ. Laborie then thanked -all those
personages of the intellectual elite of
France, who have had the courage to
seek for truth and light"
Counsel referred to the inspired ar
ticles in the press" intended to deceive
the country, and said: IF a syndicate
exists it is a syndicate of good faith
and loyalty, whose aim is to obtain
justice and right in the interests of the
entire country, and this syndicate has
the greatest faith in your Derspicuity"
This caused a violent upl oar, against
which NJ Laborie vehemenlly protest
ed. An individual in the back of the
court room shouted: How much have
they paid you?" To this NJ. Laborie re-
torted: IF we had been paid such peo-
pie would have applauded u.s."

the army to raise cry of alarm as NJ.

terms, but he did not insult the army"
In conclusion, M. Laborie declared
that he intended to prove NJ. Zola's
good faith, and review the whole af
fair, cropping into things hitherto I'M
known" and the court adjourned.

The mugwump and the jack-rabsit press
Is doing all it can to deprecate what 1t
IS pleased TO term jingoism in the present

nails are OK course assuming to take the

Tense, and stands ready TO uphold a just

quote an extract from the farewell ad-

The CLAIMANT howl about Judge Humes
and Cedar river water falls on deaf ears.
The public knows that the preliminary
work has progressed as rapidly as prac-
ticable. Condemnation and rigllt-of-way
suits are slow. tedious, vexatious. ard
complicated. Mayor Humes has urged the
present efficient corporation counsel to so
ahead just as rapidly as lie could, and
Mr.. Brown has without any sort Of ques-
ton done everything within his power.
The expressions Of Judge Humes in 1895
on that subject show first OF all that he
desired that prudence and economy be
practiced in public affairs. That Is Just
the kind OF man the city now needs for
mayor. lie Will do all he can to bring In
Cedar river water.

The Populist county treasurer took an
especially inauspicious time 70 send out
to every taxpayer notification that his
personal tax was due. II served better
than all else to call attention TO the blnn-

ture, and the reckless and irresponsible
methods adopted by the Populist officials
in making the assessment. Citizens whose
belongings would not bring 500 ind them

The exact purpose OF the stupid false
hood ex-Rev. Ciarl, Davis uttered about
the flashing diamonds displayed by Mayor
Humes Is not clear. Every man who saw
ana heard Mayor Humcs at the arnory,
last Wednesday night. knows that he ap-
peaxed Ia his usual uBassuming garb. and
that the reverend mountebank was not
telling the truth. Perhaps ex-Rev. Clark
Davis cannot see straight. Il has long
been known that he cannot think straight.
or talk straight. Strabismus may be at
once optical. mental and moral.

Grant street bridge had fallen into
such bad state os repair that the city
had TO choose between closing IL en-
tsrefy or practically reconstructfng IL
az a cost OF neHIy sIe.eeo- The actual
cost was less than the estimate; not
very naarh, It IL true. but enough TO
show the care which has been taken
In calculating expenses. The city coun-
Gil. with like watchfainezs OF the
cstyrs interests. suggested 20 the county
commissioners that they should join
the city in the cost. After some discus
nson this was agreed TO and King coun-
~ paid 5000, leaving the city TO pay
i,sei. Thus By one act OK good Judx-
ment ths ci.y's treasury was spared
5000.
Through a similar watchfulness the
corporation counsel and the comptrol-
Ter. acting under the direction OF the
finance committee. discovered that In
making up the accounts between the
city and the county there had been
omissions amounting 20 $40. There Is
no doubt that this money Will be paid
to the city.
The litigation In which the city has
become involved through circumstances
over which the present administration
had no control has been most success
fully conducted on behalf OF the city.
The mos. important was the suit against
the national banks on account OF
delinquent taxes. the result OF which
vas that the city collected no less than
$24.a29. which might have been easily
lost IL diligence had not been shown.
Another act Of good Judgment which
must be recorded is the acquisition by
the city Of copy OF the old delinquent
tax rolls. Through the destruction Of
the original in the fire, the rolls for
Isss. 1854. 1856. 1856 and 1887 were very
imperfect. The purchase Of this copy
viii rot only bring back TO she city
several times Its cost, but win clear
many pieces OF property of . cloud
which could not have otherwise been
easily removed.
Beyond the control OF the city coun-
ell, but one OF the reforms proposed by
that body. is that the registration law
shall be so changed that registration
will be only necessary once In two years.
The present law requires a complete
set OF books TO be opened annually
whether there is an election or not. in
volvlng a useless expenditure Of several
hundred dollars.
The Indebtedness on street improve
nent funds has been reduced In little
more than two years by 67.4ao; and in
addition. ss6. 900 has beer, put into the
form Of judgments, SO that the city Is
practically relieved OF a liability to the
extent OF $4,000.
Without any fuss, the accomplish
ments of the past two or three years
work surpass inmeasurabIy that Of
any previous years. The steady pur-
pose. intelligence and uniagging indus
try which have produced such remark
able results place beyond any question
the ACCESSIBILITY OF continuing the pres
emf excellent administration.
