Congress adjourned after one Of the
shortest regular sessions on record. 1t
failed to do its plain duty" as laid
down by Mckinley in regard to Porto
Rico and passed a financial measure
that no other congress has dared to do,
showing that the money power is con-
stantly growing more brazen in its
demands and all the time getting con-
gress more completely under its con-
troll. The antitrust bill passed the
house with hurrah, just for effect,
because it was we'll understood that
the senate would quietly put it to
sleep. The ship subsidy steal and the
Nicaragua canal steal were not passed,
owing to the effect they might have
on the coming election; but they are
not dead, merely postponed, and If
Mckinley should again be elected and
congress be Republican they will pass.
Under Bryan, however, they will have
no show, and as he is certain to be our
next president these steals will not
receive governmental sanction.

When Senator Pettigrew declared in
the senate that the ship building firm
of Cramp G. Co had been compelled to
put up 100000 to the Republican cam
paign fund in '96 the pure and unde-
filed Mark Hanna became white with
rage, and denounced Pettigrew as in
sane Mr.. Pettigrew however, didn't
seem disturbed by Mr.. Hanna's charge,
but kept right on prodding him with
unpalatable truths. Senator Pettigrew
says that he received his information
from the senior member of the firm of
Cramp G. Co., and as that member has
not denied it, Mr.. Hanna's rage was
evidently the more sincere because of
the truth Of the charge.

Favor American Rule.

George II. Medhurst, a prominent
merchant of Hong Kong, while In Chi.
cago on his way to London, said the
commercial interests of Hong Kong
look with favor on the American rule
of the Philippines. In the past it has
been the misfortune IF these islands
to have been most wretchedly governed.
In general the conditions which have
obtained there have tended to check
progress on the part of the people and
the development of the undoubtedly
great natural resources of those islands.
Under the rule of this country all those
conditions will be changed, the re-
sources of the islands will be developed,
business will expand greatly and the
policy of this country will make them
inviting fields for commercial venture
and enterprise. The business interests
of Hong Kong will unquestionably be
benefited by these changed conditions,
and in other ways the advent of Ameri.
cans into the Orient will be hailed.

primarily a rain making ceremonial. AS the last
year has been exceptionally dry one, the
Indians appreciate that their efforts last August
at Wolpi must have lacked fervor So the as
surance is given that the dance this year will
abound in startling features resorted to only when
it is plain that the gods of the under world are
vexc,1 with their dwelling servants.
The dance is held in Oraibe in alternate years,
with preliminary ceremonies in the smaller pueblo
OF MIchongnave. It is esteemed much more I'M

odd numbered years. It is easier to view, we'll
