The Cincinnati Enquirer gets pic

Chinn mixed, but il was a very natural
mistake OF the printer after looking at
the one intended for Bronston. 1t made
him look like the william who still

hymn book puts it, "whose thoughts on
awful subjects rolled damnation and
the dead" On the other hand Chinn

THE Legislative candidates address
ed COOL audience yesterday which
was both edited and amused. Hon. M.
T. North made an elaborate speech
along the lines OF his address In our
last issue, which told OF his efforts on
the peoples behalf at Frankfort, said
how much better with his experience
he could serve them next time and ask
ed an endorsement. He Is good
speaker and his effort had telling ef-
feet. Mr.. John II. Miller followed him
In short. but witty and taking speech
and scored several laughs at the ex-
pense OF his opponent. against whom
he has no controversy aud no desire to
hurt him further than to take the nom
ination from him by a good majority.
After him came the Hon. Fontaine Fox
who, in a good humored way,
went for both of them. His criticisms
of their newspaper cards kept the
crowd In roar, but the speaker In adj
vocating his own claims for represent
ltive laid down no platform for him
,elf. The entire performance lasted
y hours aud was generally enjoyed.

GEN. LEE finds that the soldier rack.
ct is hardly as potent in Virginia as IL
was In New York, and has declined
with very bad grace to further prose
cute canvass for the senatorial sue
cession. He gives as his reason that
his work in Cuba is incomplete, but
the real reason is that he has no show.
He also takes occasion to iusinuate that
Senator Marun, who beat him before,
did so by fraud and hopes that his
friends will rally against him and see
that no man shall occupy that nigh
position unless he can read his title
clear" We are not onto'the merits of
the case, but viewing the matter in any
shape, Gen. Lees card is in bad taste.

ures are in the final Legislative stages
and it will not be until the Last hours
arrive that the success or. failure of
these measures will be determined def
nitely.
The total appropriations of the pres
ent session will approximate $500, O,000,-
600, Of which about $3.50, 10000 will be
for the military and naval uses or for
subjects connected with the war. It is a
general estimate, however, based upon
totals which may undergo much change,
! as very few of the large appropriation
bills have become law, and some of
them have not even been considered. If
the Nicaragua canal amendment is
added to the river and harbor bill this
will make material increase. Included
in the naval bill are provisions for three
sea-going battleships, three armored
cruisers and six small cruisers, for
which $10,0oo,ooo is appropriated for
the first years work. Based on esti-
mates, the total appropriations for the
congress (not including the four appro-
priation bills leftover by the former con-
gress) would be approximately 81 ,600,-
o00, 900, of which amount approximately
5000, ,000,0 900 is for war expenses or Incl
dent to the army and navy.

s Expressions of good will toward
Americans were universal. The eve1lts
of the day were credita BILE to the Gu

THE WAR CONGRESS.
Been Accomplished In an
Eventful Period. -,<..zz ~ Z.

& Washington, Feb.S 81. An 4eventful
period in the country's history is COW
cred by the work of the Fifty-tifth com
gress, which is drawing to close. It
has. been a period of stirring and dra-
matte action, with questions of vast
magnitude constantly engaging atten-
tion, formingjan epoch alongside those
other American epochs, the revolution
and the civil wars This congress has de-
clared war against a foreign foe, and
the treaty-making branch has partici-
pated in .ratifying the treaty by which
that war was terminated. It has pro-
vided a great volunteer army. has en-
larged the regular army, and has ex-
panded the navy to meet war emer-
gencies and new conditions. The tariff
has been revised, first by the Dingley
law and then by the war revenue act;
bond issue known as the war loan, has
been provided.
But far reaching as these war meas
ures are, the congress has had time also
to enact other legislati ton, which, under
ordinary circumstances, would make
its session memorable. This includes
the annexation of Hawaii, the reject.
ing by the senate of the general treaty
of arbitra ton with Great Britain; the
enactment of a national bankruptcy
law; provision for taking the Twelfth
census; reorganization of the personnel
of the navy To this list may yet be
added other important subjects still
pending; including the Nicaragua
canal, the increase of the regular army
the anti-scalping measure, the Ha
waiian bill, and the proposed encour
agement of American shipping. Some
