ENDING OF THE 61st CON-
GRESS.

On Monday last the final session of
the Sixty-hrst Congress was opened.
That the work was most unsatisfactory
was demonstrated by the great landslide
on March s.
1t is usual at the short session to do
little except pass the appropriation bills,
including those which the members did
not like to vote for while their renomina-
tons were pending, but were brave
enough to vote for after they had been
elected or had seen their hopes of re-elec-
ton destroyed But there. have been
occasions when Republican majority,
ordered by the electorate to give place to
u Democratic majority, has used the last
three months Of its existence to rush
through measures that could not hope
for favorable consideration in a Demo
cratic House. We are likely to see that
sort ofthing attempted this winter, but
the Democrats would be justified in using
all parliamentary means for preventing
such legislation after the Republicans
have made their appeal to the country
and been defeated.
There is, of course, no probability
whatever that the Congress that enacted
the Payne-Aldrich tariff will make any
effort to reform its most obnoxious fea-
lures, and that task will go over to a
Congress which will have large Demo
cratic majority in the House and very
small Republican majority in the Senate.
1t would, OF course be an outrage for
the Republicans, after being defeated,
to allow the subsidy grabbers to reach
the Treasury; but as these people Will
stand no chance in Democratic House,
desperate efforts will be made to get the
subsidy bill passed before March 1.
There is no device for the obstruction of
legislation that would not be justified by
such an attempt to defeat the results of
last month election.
The proper and decent thing for the
Republicans to do would be to pass the
appropriation bills in materially-reduced
form and leave all general legislation to
the Congress which the people have just
elected.
