oDluM OF GATH CONGRESS.
New York SUM.

(New York SUM.
Probably the congress of worst re.
rute within the memory of the pres
ent generation was the forty second.
There are differences of opinion about
this, but we think that majority of
competent historians would award
without hesitation to the Forty second
the past primacy in odium.
The Forty-second was the salary
grab congress Just before adjourn
ing finally on March 5, 1873, it passed
an act increasing federal salaries all
around for the future, and also in
creasing the salaries of dts own men,
bers retroactively for the two years
preceding the enactment.
This execrable legislation at once
stirred the country to wrath. Many
senators and representatives FASTENED
to refund to the government their
back pay. The salary grab was re-
pealed at the next session as to all ex-
cept the president and the justices of
the supreme court,
The popular indignation took prac-
tical form as soon as the next elections
came around A republican plurality
of "a in the senate of the Forty second
congress was reduced to Is in the
Forty fourth. In the house repub-
lican plurality of 20 in the Forty-sec-
tnI In hn EnpfNy
congress into a democratic plurality
of 60.
Such were the far reaching conse-
quences of a single act of personal
greed and political folly in the Forty
second congress.
The shameful prominence of TIE
Forty -second congress, so. long main
tanned against competition that has
sometimes been strenuous on the part
of its successors, has now been utter
Ily and forever destroyed by the
achievement of the SiXty-fourth con-
gress which ended its first or long
session yesterday
How paltry seems the deed OF The
old salary grab congress, how plea
Iyune its disgrace, how second rate lis
renown for faithlessness to public
trust, alongside the splendid new in
fanny of the congress that listened to
woodrow Wilson and for his political
benefit voted the great $60,OO0O00
brotherhood grab.

HISTORY OF SPELTER.
Interesting Circumstances of Its First
Production in England.
DAILY Metal Reporter.)

Spelter was first made in England
in the early part of the eighteenth
century, but the industry was destroy
ed by the merchants and importers of
Preston, who reluced the price from
G260 to e 4S per ton (56 to IL cents
per pound) when their interests were
threatened. William Champion was
one of the first English manufacturers
of spelter, previously imported from
India. He had his works at Warmly
freehold property bequeathed to him
by his father. On February 81, 1850,
Mr.. Champion presented a petition to
the house of commons in which he
stated "That he had spent a great
portion of his life travelling abroad,
and on his return to England had
found the supply of 'tontonnage," COM
monty called spelter dependant on the
East Indies. lngrossers had raised
the price in 1871 to $3.50 per-ton, and
he applied in 1871 for a patent for
making tontonnage or spalter, and
this had expired in 1850. He had
erected large premises and made 200
tons, when the importers brought in a
large supply and lowered the price
from EGO to G48 per ton, at a sup
posed profit of G22 to G25 per ton
to the importers. Not being able to
procure such prices for his spelter as
would permit of profit, he was a great
sufferer, and he therefore prayed for
an extension of his patent" The pc
tition was opposed by taders of Pres
ton and was rejected. 1t appears that
brother of the petitioner, John Cham
pion, in early life went to Holland
there representing himself as a beg
gar, and got employed there as Ia
borer during which time he learned
1.-THE secret to make brass and zinc
When he left he induced several work
men to return with him to England
land with them he set up the works
for the production of metal at Warm
ley.
