Work of "a Great Session.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat:-
The session of congress which has just
closed was somewhat shorter than most
of the "long sessions" of recent years
but it accomplished much important
work, and placed other work in such
shape that it will be finished next winter.
1t put the gold standard in the statutes
and carried out the pledge in this parti-
cular which the republican party made
in 1896. 1t created a civil government
for Hawaii and Porto Rico, adopted
Legislation. regarding Alaska, and project
ed other legislation for the same locality
which will attract settlers and capital to
that possession, and give it value to
the United States such as even Seward
in his most sanguine dreams did not im
agine. A measure enlargipg the navy by
the construction of five submarine boats
three armored cruisers and two battle.
ships has been made law.
This is some of the most important
work which the session has finished
Other measures were passed in house or
senate which will be passed in the other
branch in the winter session. A bill fol
the construction of a canal across the
isthmus of Nicaragua has gone through
the house. An antitrust law, which
was republican in its tsinception, although
the democrats were forced to support it
ha .ha
bill to reorganize the army passed the
senate. So did a bill providing for d
Pacific cable, but the house passed an.
other sort Of a measure for the same OBJ
ject, and the differences between the
two branches on the points in dispute
have not been settled. Work on al
these measures will undoubtedly be com
peted in the coming short session
The number of important measures pre-
sented to congress in the past 81,
months was unusually large, and tha
body made very fair record in dealing
with them.
Congress credit for the work which il
has done is rendered all the greater by
the fact that the republican majority il
the house was only thirteen at the start
and it has been increased only slightly
by the contests for seats which were set
tied during the season. At the close
the margin of the dominant party is still
embarrassingly narrow. 1t is to be hopeo
that the republican lead in the house
which will be chosen this year will be
longer than was that which was gained
in the election of 1898. Skillful leader.
ship is required to accomplish so much
as has been done in the past six months
Though the republicans outnumber their
democratic opponents in the house only
slightly, they outclass the democrats in
ability, experience, parliamentary skill
and courage in a marked degree. This
preponderance is largely accountable for
the enactment of most of the important
measures which have been placed on the
statute book in the past few months
1t is customary to disparage congresses
at their close, because no congress can ac-
complish all the work which the majority
party designs. Fair minded, intelligent
persons, however, will say that the record
of the session which has just ended has
been decidedly creditable in the work
which it has finished and in that which
il has put in shape for completion in the
session next winter.

la) social labor votes were cast.
1t will be observed that the republican
candidate has had plurality vote at
every election and, with but two eXcep-
tions, an absolute majority over all OPP
position The first of these exceptions
was in 1873, when greenbackism was at
high tide, a state ticket being placed in
the field that year 10y the soft money
which ticket received more than twice
as many votes as did the democratic
ticket, the combined opposition vote ex-
ceeding the republican vote by 204.
The second time the republican vote
fell short of a majority was in 1890, when
the republicans resented the nomination
the county falling of almost 1000, as
with compared with lSSS, the state going
democratic and electing Hon. Edwin b.
Winans governor. In that year the com
bined opposition vote exceeded the re-
publican vote by 54o.
1t will also be observed that the re-
publican party has always sailed under
its own colors, never seeking fusion or
alliance with any other party, while its
principal competitor the democratic
party, has six times abandoned its name
and principles-if it has any principles
aside from its desire to down the repub-
lican arty-and has sought fusion, com
ee.silverism, populism or any other old
ism, hoping, perchauce, to win somehow,
somewhere, sometime some kind of a
victory over its formidable foe, the re-
publican party.
The table also discloses the rise and
fall of side-issue parties under various
names, such as greenbaclS party, fusion
party, industrial party, national party,
labor party, peoples party, prohibition
party and even the hyphenated demo-
cratic peoples union silver party of the
last two general elections, which, it is
quite probable, may never place another
ticket before the people.
The prohibition party, which first
made its appearance in Van Buren coun-
ty in 1880 polling ID votes, was at flood
tide ten years later, when it polled 542
votes, since which time it has been grad
ually sinking into decline, having less
than hundred followers at either of the
last two general elections.
And then, aside from the political sig
nificance of the table, it is an indication of
the growth of the county, which has
been busily engaged in practical sex
pansion" since it cast ] ,537 in 1854 to the
time it reached its highest vote of S,72I
IN 1896, and which will, no doubt, be ex-
ceeded by the vote that will be cast on
the 9th day of November, 1900.
