A GREAT CONGRESS .
+ I. 1. j. !. 1: 3 I. !. + 1. i !. 1. 1
BY William Jennings Bryan,
in The COmmOner.

Speaker Clark and those asso-
ciated with him in the directing Of
the congress just adjourned, are to
be congratulated upon the splendid
record made. 1t has no parallel when
measured by the Importance of the
work accomplished. The tariff law
realized at last the hopes which DEM
ocrats for generation have enter
tanned of tariff reform; the new cur
rency law is monumental and far
reaching in its effects; the repeal of
the free-tolls law was most timely in
view of the commercial complications
that have followed the war; the
antitrust legislation goes far toward
remedying the evils that have fol-
lowed in the wake of private monop-
oily. In addition to what has been
accomplished by the joint action of
the senate and house, the house has
done it's part in supporting the presi-
dent on other matters which have
failed of final action of the senate.
The senate has been handicapped by
the rules which permit minority to
indefinitely extend debate and thus
retard legislation, but with larger
Democratic majority in the next SEN
ate it is almost certain that that body
will SO change it's rules as to enable
the majority to assume responsible
ity for legislation.
The Sixty-third congress will stand
out in history as vindication Of the
peoples faith in the Democratic
party, and contributed largely to the
party, and contributed largely to the
victory won last fall which gives us
an increase in the senate and a ma
jority in the house large enough for
all practical purposes.

dents OF Rochester that the town

(Oroville Weekly Gazette.)
In the interest of economy the
Olympia city council has cut off
street lights in that city. This dras-
tic step may mean saving of cash,
but it will not be appreciated by the
most boisterous advocate Of economy
after a few dark nights at the cap
ital. There are towns that have mis-
cradle excuses for street lighting
where the light contract could be
cancelled without working a very
great hardship on the public, such as
Oroville, for instance, and where the
cost is far greater than that of the
Olympia lighting, in comparison with
the service rendered. After the
license revenue is cut off the local
council may be forced to take such a
step. anyhow, as 1t is the heaviest
municipal expense that has to be met.

Ozark Days" in Olympia.

Dark days have fallen upon Olym-
pia, since an era of enforced economy
has caused the shutting off of the
electric lights Of that city. The re-
cent falling of the Westside bridge
will add further burden on the city,
already beyond it's legal limit Of
debt, and is responsible for the re-
trenchment. 1t is to be hoped that
an increase of crime will not come
with the darkness.

No Reason to Initiate Legislature.
China Chronicle.)
Olympia, the capital OF the state, is
dark at night because the city does
not have sufficient funds TO provide
lights. The actions of the legislature
are often shrouded under the sable
garment Of night, but that is no rea-
son for Olympia to follow the same
course.

Ember DAYS.

In the Roman Catholic and the An
glican churches the Ember days are
three days appointed four times in
the year to be observed as days of
fasting and abstinence. They are the
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after
the first Sunday In Lent, after the
feast of Pentecost, after the 14th Of
September, and after the 18th of De-
cember. The Ember days date from
an early period in church history, and
were introduced into England by Au-
gustine. Originally they were only in
part devoted to beseeching the grace
of the Holy Ghost, as periods when
ministers were admitted to holy or
ders; but it is to this purpose that the
Ember days are now particularly de-
voted, Roman Catholic clergy being or
dained only on the Saturdays of the
Ember days, while the whole church
fasts and prays, and generally SINH
lar usage prevails in the church of
England, which has appointed special
prayers for use at these seasons, but
usually appoints ordinations for Sun
days or holy days.
