A Detunct Congress.

Sioux Falls Press: With the arriv-
al Of the meridian hour of yesterday
the 59th congress OF the United States
ceased its existence. During its two
years OF service to the country it has
produced some legislation Of a general
Iy beneficial character, under the
proddings of a popular president who
is not in harmony with a majority OF
his party In congress.
The real value Of the legislative in"
novations INDUCED in by the seth
congress will he realized through the
work Of congresses to cOme. The lit
tile work it has done will serve as an
entering wedge that can be driven to
its head by a forceful public demand.
Along with the demise of the 59th
congress, two South Dakota members
of the lower house, Charles II. Burke
and Eben w. Martin, were retired to
private life. Mr.. Burke has served
four terms eight years. and Mr.. Mar
tin three terms (six years..
Both OF these gentlemen are cap
able and in their retirement from the
house of representatives they leave
good records behind them, so far as
they are personally concerned.
Had they been willing to conform
to the changed sentiments of their
constituents, they might have been
returned to their places. But
they made a mistake that is not I'M
common among men upon whom
honors are bestowed-they arrayed
themselves against the public consci-
ence and chung to policies that their
constituents had condemned.
Entrenched behind the power Of
public position, they presumed that
they could lead a successful assault
on newly formed conviction and they
failed 70 completely that their places
were taken as the forfeit OF their lack
OF Judgment.
1t is understood that Mr.. Burke
and Mr.. Martin are returning to- the
state with the intention of leading a
revolt against their party orgaliza-
ton, their purpose being the restora-

First lrpnelaa Battle.

On March s, 1862, the Confederate
ironclad Merrimac first made her APP
pearance in Hampton Roads and
demonstrated to the world that the
building Of any more wooden IA
ships was u loss Of time and money.
She came u OF Norfolk that bright
clear morning and In less than three
hours had destroyed two of the best
war ships IN the United States Navy,
and threatened to destroy everything
In sight during the afternoon.
During the night the famous little
Monitor arrived and on March 9th,
she attacked and defeated the Mer-
rimac ia a battle lasting from ten a.
m. TO $3.50 b. m. That battle settled
the fate OF the wooden navies and has
kept civilized nations fighting for
supremacy ever since.
1t is furty-ive years since that his
tOrical event took place, but those
who saw it will never forget that
wonderful scene.
The victory OF the Merrimac on the
first day alarmed the government for
the safetysof every northern seaport,
and great was the CONSERVATION that
prevailed, but the battle next day
relieved public apprehension and con-
fidence was restored.
The writer was fortunate enough
to witness that conflict from the
