Tho Fifty fifth Congress, which ended
its labors and existence Saturday, hai
career notable for the Importance
rather than the wisdom of its acts,
says the Baltimore Sun. The Republi-
cans did not have an absolute majority
in the Senate as they did in the House,
but by management the administration
has carried most of ths measures for
which it really cared. Currency reform
has been ignored, but the Dingley
tariff bill was enacted in 1887 Hawaii
was annexed, war was declared against
Spain and treaty of peace was rati-
fed on the expansionist lines marked
out by the President. To correct tho
deficiency of revenue caused by tho
prohibitory rates of the Dingley tariff
and augment the funds applicable to
the war, u tax, in 1898, was imposed
on tea, various now internal taxes were
levied and the public debt was in
creased by the issue of $500, 600, 900 of
government bonds. A phenomenal in
crease of the army and reorganization
OF the navy have been provided for.
Tho aggregate Of appropriations in the
two years of the Fifty fifth Congress
was Increased by tho war and general
extravaganza to about 81, 600, 600. 600
or some $500, 900, 600 more than the
normal expenditure. Many jobs. such
as the Nicaragua canal, the Pacific
cable and tho shipping subsidy bill
were avertod in view of the impending
deficit of over $3.50, 000 600.
The Fifty-sixth Congress will BIO Re-
publican in both branches, SO that tbe
policy of the Presidents party will, Il
possible. be still more thorouahly
carried out IN tho next two years than
in the two years Just past. The Senate
will have u decided Republican ma
jority. In the House there will be 49,
Republicans, 1863 Democrats, 8 Popu.
lists and 3 Silverites. As result Of
the "solidity" of the party's power,
such measures as the shipping subsidy,
Pacific ca BILE and Nicaragua canal viii
probably be advanced when Congress
next meets. Currency reform Is like.
wise promised, but the politicians arc
already hedging upon it.

Carl Nelson, who was arrested yes
terday on the charge Of stealing two
overcoats, valued ut S35 and 800, from
the parochial residence at st. Paul's
Catholic Church, ono coat being the
property of the Rev. John Connolly
and the other the property of the Rev.

| Oihcor lIefren arrested the accused in

Nelson was hold in 5000 bail for the
| upper court.
| Robert j. Grow was charged by Clerk
of the Market Cornell with occupying
q space in King street curbstone mar
ket, between Sixth and Seventh streets,
without permit. A resolution of the
Street and Sewer Department requires
payment Of 10 cents on the part of u
person occupying a space belonging TO
somebody elses provided tho space is
not occupied by the lessee Clerk of
the Market Oonnell said the action was
tho result of what happened last Sat-
urday. when Crow was occupying a
space belonging to John Barker. He
said he asked Barker for tho fec and
it was refused AT the time Barker
and Grow were both occupying the
same space and he was not shown any
permit given Grow by Barker. lie said
Grow had paid him 10 cents on the
previous Saturday, but remarked at
the time that no would not pay the
money again. Crow said he had been
permitted by Mr.. Barker to occupy the
space and told the clerk of the market
he would not pay until the regulation
was generally enforced. There appeared
to be- u difference of opinion rs to the
meaning of the law and the case was
continued until next Saturday morn.

In this increase. No explanation is sug.
sested, but II man should guess that
the multiplication OF tempting attrac.
tions In this Vicinity bad good deal to
do with It, he would not be for OF.
How this rapid increase of the needy can
be checked, 10 is hard to say. The secretary
thinks the placing of more OF this class
In the almshouse would have q tendency
In that direction.
The department OF public works
is another department that has
spent more money than was appro
priated, though not through any
fault Of its heed, sincs all the work
has been ordered by the coun-
ell. The appropriation in the first place
seems TO have been entirely inadequate.
But probably the deficiency would have
been much less IL pressure from various
wards and nsighborhoods had not been
put upon the council. The appropri-
alton for the street department was $75, :
600, but the expenses up to February rs
were little over $4,000, The commits
s,oner says no new paving should have
been entered upon. With Deering added
much larger appropriation wi be
needed this year, and care should be TAX
en- that ii is made large enough to meet
the necessities. and that no work exec, t
in unforeseen emergencies be ordered that
will cause deficit.
The Mayor recommends that work be
resumed on the interoepting sewer and
another section be built to Lincoln
street; that new sewer be built through
franklin street from Commercial, TO con
meet with the Hampshire street sewer
at Fore; that the Pearl street sewer be
extended, and that a sewer bs built
through st. John street TO Portland.
We have noted the principal recommen.
dationsof the address. The wisdom of all
of them Is obvious, and it is difficult to
see why all of them cannot be carried
cut provided the council and the people
cooperate with the mayor. Later on the
Mayors prom ises to give extended at.

make some recommendations that will
tend to increase Its efficiency.

The public grounds department of the
CITY of Boston are BEGINNING this week a
work of interest in every city and village
where the busy and Industrious. as we'll
as pugnacious, English sparrow is known.
The city fathers of Boston have formally
and finally come TO the conclusion that
the sparrow belongs to the class of nuis-
ances, and a Grew of men have been put
TO work destroying all the nests and eggs
that may be found in the parks and other
public places of Boston. The mayor an
nounces that for the present at least he
does not propose to proceed against the
birds with traps or poison--not SO much
out of regard for the sparrows as because
there might be danger to other forms of
animal life The beginning of the cru
SADIE has become a subject on which con-
siderable public opinion is expressing
itself, The foes of the sparrows see in
them only pugnacious and nearly omni-
present little pests, which do no good
themselves and drive off or kill the birds
in which man really delights. They are
classed in the same category with rats,
feas, and Bilipinos, and nothing but
condemnation is heard for those pioneers
of the Anglo-American cordially, who
brought the first birds over thirty years
ago. On the other hand the friends of the
sparrow urge that the destruction of his
habitations and the eggs therein will be
an act of cruelty, done against one Of the
most useful friends of urban man. For
the sparrow is represented to be II most
useful scavenger, providentially brought
to America at the time when the city
populations were increasing and when
the esd of street scavengers was begin
ming to be felt
A great argument, which seems to have
been overlooked. is that the sparrow is
here in his present power and influence
as a result of the laws of nature. He ha S
conquered urban New England because
he has been able to do SO under the laws
