DR.. Maxey, late Of the State uni
versity, is said to have written a let
ter while he was connected with that
institution, charging President Pur-
inton with going South with uni
versity funds. The statements Of
DR.. Maxey, it is said, amount to a
very strong intimation that the
president has taken public money
for his own use without authority
and without due return of service
for it. This, on the part of Or.
Maxey, shows nderhandedness and
"a disposition to stab in the dark. He
would have been better thought Of,

MEMORABLE CONGRESS.
1 NJ; / ei,.As3a4 - n .

Saturday night at 10 o'clock, the
last day Of the fiscal year the first
session of the Fifty-ninth Congress
of the United States passed into his
tory. BY such good authority as
Speaker Joseph Cannon, it was the
mos. memorable in the history of
the Nation. Mr. Cannon says:
. sfn my judgment the legislation
enaEted III the session Of Congress
ust.closed exceeds in Importance for
Sihe best interests Of all the people of
the Republic the work of any session
@lng my thirty years Of public life;
Three measures-the rate, pure food
and meat approximations, would
he sufficient to make the session
memorable, if nothing else had been
done. j am satisfied the operation
of these laws will demonstrate their
wisdom. The legislation covering
.appropriations and authorization OF
public expenditures has been most
darstuily considered and wisely en-
acted"
These words we're uttered by the
oeople'S venerable statesman during
the closing hour Of Congress, at
lime he did not have opportunity to
,fwell in detatil or to mention many
thor ;n,nortant measures passed by
Congress, which will prove OF great
benefit to the people in general.
Possibly. for the information Of the
people Of the Nation no man in the
national legislature would have
aiken more delight than sUncleD
Joe in giving complete details and It
viii be his pleasure to do so within
The next few months in a manner so
plain that nothing can be misnnder-
stood. But what he has already
.aid, considering the high source
rom which it came, is sufficient to
convince the people that the leglsiaa-
ion enacted is wholesome and VIII
prove wise.
The session is we'll summed up as
follows:
The session has been strenuous
from start to finish. The measure
which caused the greatest debate IS
the railroad rate bill. Its considera-
ton continued throughout the ses-
sion.
The pure food enactment and the
meat inspection provision are i'm,

Jude toward both the producer and

|since the war congress Of 1898. OF
this amount, 100000 will go
into new public buildings in various
sections Of the country. The legis-
lation on appropriation bills has the
characteristic throughout Of being
/ restrictive upon the government de-
partment heads in the mater Of
making their expenditures and in
submitting their estimates to Con-
gress 1t has been the desire OF
! congress to put;an end, sfar as pos
siblc, to deficiency appropriations.
The naval increase which has been
going on annually, received some
what of a setback. fAThe largest
battleship afloat" was authorized,
but congress required that before
bids could be submitted the plane
must be sent to congress at its next
session.
The annual appropriation for the
state militia was doubled, and Mere
after So, 100000 will be spent from
the federal treasury for to keep the
state military organization in touch
with the regular army.
Congress gave great care to the
draft of bill intended to preserve
the scenic beauty Of Niagara Falls
and the measure was passed.
The tariff to be collected by the
Philippine government on goods en-
tering the islands trade was revised.
A measure of Importance to rail-
road and,,other employees engaged in
hazardous employments, known as
the employers' liability bill, became
d law. X
The government will participate
in the jamestown ter-contennial ex-
position, and $1,325,oo0 was author
lied to be expended out Of the fed
eral treasury for that event.
Speedy appropriations for the San
Francisco sufferers resulted from
requests from the President. Two
and half million was donated di-
rectly and supplies from the stores
of the government nearly equaled
that amount.
Private pension legislation for the
benefit of the old soldier who is I'M
able to receive a pension under the
statute laws, was larger than usual.
While the Democratic minority in
some measure supported some Of the
most important measures, yet it was
strictly Republican Congress and
the responsibility for the measures
rests upon the shoulders of the Re-
publican party mostly. and to a Re- /
publican President and to that polit-
ical party is the credit mainly due.
The President himself is, perhaps,
more entitled to credit for the legis-
lation passed than any President
during any previous session OF
Congress. sRss
Tie Legislation enacted is so APP
parently helpful and wholesome to
the Nation that it was not possible
for Democracy to maintain any de-
gree Of responsibility and integrity
as a party in opposing it and making
it party issue. But doubtless
when the campaign agitation comes
on and Democracy sees the Repub-
lican party given the credit by the
people, it will attempt to point out {
flaws in the new legislation and cite
an instance or two, in which a
radical member or two Of that party !
with apersonal grievance against the
President and desire to harass
him, found something Objectionable
in the legislation passed, but such
will not be of convincing force, and
the first session of the Fifty-nintn
session of Congress will rebound to
the glory of the Republican party.

I The scarcity of laborers in this
region has become so much a mat
ter of concern to the various coal
companies that within the next few
days steps will be taken to remedy
the trouble, at least in part. The
coal companies themselves are in a
measure responsible for great part
of the trouble now coming their way.
We mean by this the practice for
several months of inducing men TO
leave one company y take service
with another. AT the present time
a miner can go to any mine and Sc,
