motors utilizing gases from blast fur

the use of these gases, which is not

TWO BILLION DOLLAR CON
GRESS.

The Congress which has just ended
its first session has earned Il reputation
as the most eXtravagant one in history.
Already appropriations amounting to
billion dollars have been made and
this warrants the prophecy that at the
session to begin next December, like
sum will be expended, making two bill
lion dollars for the entire session.
There seems to be little hope of relief
from this squandering of the public
money at the hands of the party in
power Each year sees the pressure
more strongly brought to bear on eX-
penditures that are little less than rob-
berries In the appropriations for pub
lie buildings, for instance, three towns
out West, whose combined populations
do not exceed that of Frederick,
secured public buildings at a cost of
$500 600 | this is aSroper way to eX-
pend public money, then God help the
country in the future The human
mind can hardly grasp the meaning of
a billion dollars. The taxable basis of
Frederick county is about $4,000, 900.
1t would take the value of forty-siX
counties like ours to furnish Congress
the means of paying the protligate con-
tracts made so far. 1t is easier to in
crease than to reduce appropriations
and the tendency has been with the
former TIE surplus in the Treasury
of late years, due to heavy internal
as well as external taxation has been
too much Of a temptation to the mem
bers of Congress and they have had n
fig-mill The people in the meantime
are sitting way back looking on and
will be heard from in decided manner
in November.

CONGRESS NO MORE.
End Of a Session in Which
Many Pledges Were I'm
fulfilled by the Majority.

The first session of the Fifty.
seventh Congress came to an end
Tuesday afternoon, both houses
adjourning promptly at $50
O'Clock.
In the Senate the end came in
an easy, quiet and dignitied way.
Over in the House at the conclu
sion of the session members re.
manned in the chamber, singing
and shouting, shaking hands,
patting the Speaker upon the
back, and in general way hav-
ing a boisterouSly good time. AS
the Speaker announced in his
farewell address to his colleagues,
it had been rather busy session,
and everybody was glad to get
away.
The President, according to the
usual custom, arrived at the Cap
itol from the White House about
3 O'Clock. Mr.. Roosevelt was
there for the purpose of signing
whatever bills might demand his
immediate attention.
During the day the Senate
adopted the conference report on
the Philippine Civil Government
bill.
Mr. Carmack attempted in vain
to have the Senate Philippine
Committee authorized to continue
its hearings and visit the archi-
pelago.
Both Houses adopted the con
ference report on the Naval APP
preparation bill, which compro-
missed the question in dispute by
authorizing the construction of
one battleship at Government
yard.
The II, use agreed to an appro-
priation of $4,000 each for
bronze equestrian statutes of Gen
erals Pulaski and Steuben, of Re-
evolutionary fame.
The House also agreed to the
bill making pensionable Conted
crate soldiers who had enlisted in
the Union Army prior to Jan
uary l, 1865.
In the House Mr. James ID.
Richardson said he had had suf1i-
cient grounds for asking for an
inquiry into the Danish West
Indies alleged scandal, which the
committee found unsustained.

valued at between 81, 900, 900 and
81 100000, have accomplished the
temporary defeat of the measure
in the HOnse Committee, by
means of numerous protests for
warded to that committee from
readers Of these letters. The
House Committee on the District
of Columbia at first attempted to
modify the more fragrant features
of the Bill by changing the loca-
ton of the depot and so curtail
the value of the subsidy but, as
the protests continued to arrive,
the Committee conceded to permit
the Bill to go over until the next
session, pending which a careful
investigation of the subject will
be made, with, it is to be hoped,
a result which will mean saving
of several millions of dollars to
the people of the United States.
On Friday evening, the Demo
Gratis of the House held con-
ference to consider the action of
the Republicans during the session
of Congress practically completed.
Resolutions were adopted con
demning the Republicans for sac
rifcing Cuba to the demands of
the trusts and pointing out there
would have been no difficulty in
passing, in the Senate, the Cuban
Bill as passed by the House and
that the only reason for failing to
do so was the fact that the bill
passed by the house curtailed the
profits of the trust to the material
benefit of the Cubans and of the
American consumers. The resolu-
tions also reatfirm the well-known
fact that the Republican party
has been, throughout the session,
dominated by the trusts and
monopolies, that it has persistent.
ly refused to listen to the counsel.
even of mem berS of its own party,
to reduce the tariff on articles pro.
duced by the trusts; and that it
has, after passing an antitrust
law to tide over the election of
1900, which law it has since been
demonstrated requires much revl-
sion in order that it may be made
effective, positively refused to so
revise that law or to take any
other steps which would be con-
trary to the interests of the trusts
and monopolies.

Old Landmark Gone.

Another landmark at Middle
town is being demolished, the
Reformed chapel, which will be
replaced bya new one. The build

for 30 years has been used, first
as a parish school and later Sun
day school room by the congre-
CATION. The part of the building
which was used for parish school
was built in the year 1S47 The
school opened on the 18th of June

Of 1879 an addition was built to
it, costing 81, 100, and only a

ed. The old building is in good
state of preservation, but the large
congregation needs a more modern
edifice.

COMING IMPORTANT ELEC.
TIONS.

The Baltimore Sun said editorially
in recent issue:
Three important elections will occur
in this city this year and next These
are the election of Congressman, which
will take place on November 1 next:
the election of MAYOR of Baltimore,
President of the Second Branch Of the
City Council, City Comptroller mem
bers of the First Branch of the City
Council and oue-half the members of
the Second Branch will be held on the
Tuesday after the first Monday in MAY.
1908. At the November election next
year the people will elect the Governor.
Comptroller, Attorney-General, States
Attorneys, Sheriffs. members of the
House of Delegates four Senators from
Baltimore City and Senators from the
following counties: Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Frederick,
Howard, Kent, Queen Anne's, Somer-
set, Washington and Wicomico. Be
sides, nearly all local county officials
throughout the State will be elected at
that time. The Legislature to be
elected next year will appoint United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Nc
Comas. AT this falls election the
ticket will be very short, having on it
only the names of two or three candi-
dates for Congress, or perhaps four or
five in this city 1t is believed, there
fore, that the form Of ballot adopted at
the session of 1901 will not cause any
serious difficulty to illiterate voters.
The act of 1902 further simplifies the
ballot by requiring plain tyne and a
line over each group of candidates di-
recting the voter how many to vote for.
Six Congressman are to be elected in
the State. In the two districts lying
wholly in Baltimore the candidates
will be nominated under the provisions
of the primary election law enacted at
the session of 1902, on day to be agreed
upon by the party committees. The
Presidential election will take place in
November, 1904.

Isthmian Canal Bill Signed.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 20.
President Roosevelt signed the
Isthmian Canal Bill last night.
The measure reached him late in
the afternoon, and within a few
hours afterward had become a
law by the at1iXing of his sigma
ture.
When the approval of the Ex-
ecutive was given to the great
legislation over which so many
Congresses have fought without
hitherto reaching a final decision,
the most interested person pre-
sent, with the possible exception
of Mr.. Roosevelt himself, was
Rear Admiral Walker, U. S. N,

War Taxes Ended Monday.

Uncle Sam at midnight Mon
day decreased his annual income
by S70,000,0 600, when the ma jority
of the war taxes then in force were
abolished. Under old conditions
so tremendous a reduction in the
national revenues would have had
far reaching effect upon the finan-
cial affairs of the country. but so
strongly intrenched is the present
wealth of the country that it is
expected by business men that
the cutting off of the war taxes
will not cause tremor in the bust
ness world.
Never before in the history of
the governments of the world has
so great reduction iu income
been attempted by any nation.
These taxes have continued
since the Inauguration of the war
with Spain and have produc ed
many millions dollars in revenue.
