Action and Reaction.

Probably the principle that ac-
ton and reaction are equal and in
opposite directions represents ade-
quate explanation of the remarka-
ble ending Of the long session of the
Fifty-ninth Congress. 1t has been
session of large accomplishment, of
generally effective treatment of the
most difficult questions. Yet at the
end, after rcundly defeating the
railroads with rate legislation, the
Standard Oil with pipe line legisla-
ton, the packers with inspection
legislation, the food and drug and
medicine people with pure food leg
islation, this strenuous Congress
managed TO wabble, to lose its gait,
and to go under the wire in exceed
ingly bad form.
But it has been a most useful ses-
sion To say it has enacted more
useful and important general legis-
lation than any other Congress in a
generation is trite, but probably
true. 1t has been a Roosevelt Con-
gress. The Presidents popular ma
jority Of 2,50O.00O which swept the
Fifty-ninth Congress into power,
was the force which moved conserv-
ative leaders to enact legislation
which will make the session famous.
1t was The victory of the President.
More than that, it was the victory
of the people, who had made the
President their agent and spokes-
man.
Prophesy is a dangerous business
even for the rePute of a seventh
son; but unless signs fail the ac-
complishments of this session will
pretty nearly measure the achieve
ments of this Administration. The
reaction has been apparent in the
closing DAYS. Consideration for an
approaching Presidential contest
will temper enthusiasm at the next
long session. The tariff, which seems
certain to be the next paramount" Z"
now that rate legislation is out of
the way, is by common consent to
be pushed over till after the cam
paign of 1905. There may be a mis-
carriage of plans, but it is rather
unlikely. With the tariff thus pushed
aside. it looks as z thA great -ses-
