CONGRESS.

The second session of the Fifty-ninth Congress will end at noon to-day, if somebody doesn't stop the official clock, or turn it back, before then. It has been a busy session, especially busy in spending money, but that was to be eX- pected These are money making and money-spending days, and while Con- gress can't make money it can spend it, as the bills show. Perhaps the wonder should be not that so much is spent, but that 1t is spent as judicious- ly. as it is.
 Of course Congress hasn't devoted its whole time to spending money. The Shoot case has been settled, and set tied right. Laws have been passed for bidding corporations to contribute money to political campaigns; limiting the working hours of railroad em- ployes; establishing an agricultural Dduh III tHe LlllllPpluGS, Cul ASlACS law widening the scope of the author ity of the secretary of the treasury to deposit government money in national banks, and providing for the issuance of gold certificates in small denomina- tions Some proposed laws which have not been passed are: The Eight-hour bill; the Anti-injunction bill; the bill to confer citizenship upon Porto Ricans; the Crumpacker Post Office Fraud Order bill; the Child Labor bill; the bill to regulate interstate traffic in intoxicating liquors; swamp land re- clamation; modification of the Chinese exclusion act; copyright revision, and the removal of duty on works of art.
 On the whole It has been about an average session, and it will take some time to tell how much good it has done and how much harm.
