THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

Congress adjourned Tuesday after be-
ing in special session 121 working days.
The call for the special session was is
sued for the sole purpose of securing
legislative approval of the Canadian reci-
procity agreement negotiated by the
President through the state department.
This approval was given after an ex-
haustive discussion, although a majority
of the Republicans failed to support the
President. Congress also acted affirma-
lively upon the question of granting
statehood to the two remaining terri
tories of the mainland; provided for the
reapportionment of the Ikeuse, by which
the membership will be increased from
39l to i33 exclusive of the three to come
from the two new states and enacted a
campaign publicity bill which will enable
the people to control the expenditure of
money in the election of representatives
and senators. The temporary alliance
between the insurgents and Democrats is
responsible for the passage of the wool
bill revising the wool schedule: the
farmers free list and the cotton bill
which carried important revision of the
steel and chemical tariffs The Pres-
dent vetoed these tariff bills and thus
postpones action until the tariff board
shall report to the regular session of
Congress next December The Senate
refused to ratify the arbitration treaties
While Congress was in session the
House undertook many investigations. of
which the chief was the steel inquiry, to
be continued next fall while one of the
most interesting and mportant-the
Wiley investigation--is still in progress.

The real author of the Sherman anti
trust law was Senator George f. Ed
munds of Vermont. The venerable ex-
senator, who now lives in retirement in
Philadelphia, has written to this effect
after refreshing his memory from the
records in Washington. Albert H. Walk
er, New York lawyer, who wrote THE
History of the Sherman Law" accepted
the general understanding that Mr.
Sherman was the author of the act, but
later, on investigating the records of
the Senate judiciary committee in Wash
ington, found that Senator Edmunds
wrote the first three and the fifth and
sixth sections of the act$ that Senator
George of Mississippi wrote the fourth
section and that Senator Hoar of Mas,
sachusetts wrote the seventh section
providing for the recovery of three fold
damages, while Senator ingalls, of Kan
sas wrote the final section, which iden-
titled corporations with persons" as
used in the act. Senator Hoar, in his
autobiography, laid claim to authorship
of the law, but his work was in taking
the several provisions and putting them
together in the final draft. The law was
something of a composite measure, but,
as the Springfield Republican says, the
Edmunds sections are the all-important
ones" and the grant of their author
ship to Senator Edmunds properly gives
him the chief authorship of the stat
ute"
