CHAMP CLARK on CONGRESS-.

~The performances OF congress remind
me Of the piece in the old reader OF how
the grasshopper sings the summer away
and comes to grief in the winter
remarks Champ Clark 40 the New York
Times. Congress fooled away the first
tive weeks OF the three months session
and then pushed, iammed, banged things
through in tho last ten days.
Little WINS done at the short session
except, to pass the. great supply bills.
The most important measure paused wac
the sixteen hour bill. and most OF thc
credit OF TINT belongs to the democratf.
We forced the fight, we won the victory,
and it is the most brilliant victory
achieved by a minority in many a day.
The most important measure defeated
was the ship subsidy bill. Tho demo
crate, aided by a few republicans, came
within three votes of doing it to death
in the house. 1t was a battle royal from
start to finish, and / shall always regre,
that the donors Of beating it SO narrowly
escaped the house, But ther res no
sense il crying yer spilled milk.
What the house failed to do by u

democratic brethren, accomplished in
