AMERICAN
The Fifty-first congress closed at noon
yesterday and there was a sigh t relief
throughout the land. It was the most
profligate congress of American history,
and, even when condemned by the people
by unexampled popular majorities, after
Its first session, It continued its shameleks
profligacy until the moment of Its death.
The people can hardly reaUte the mca-
ure of profligacy and jobbery of the con
gress that has just pasted Into history.
When It came Icto power with a senate
and president In political harmony with It,
the treasury was overflowing with surplus
revenues, and reduced taxes and reduced
revenues wer the hunger-cry of the
people.
When It closed Its blotted record yester.
day the surplus was scattered; the reve
nue largely exceeded by expenditures! a
forced loan of f 54,000.000 of sacred trust
funds -sill not save the treasury from
bankruptcy within the next year, the ex
penditures commanded by the ilfty-nrst
congress will change the condition 01 tne
treasury from $100,000,000 surplus to fully
$100,000,000 deficit before the close of the
next fiscal year.and the additional pension,
subsidy and other jobbing schemes fasten
ed upon a looted treasury by positive law,
addled the people of the nation with over
one thousand million if new expendi
tures. '
In addition to this bewildering waste of
aubllc moner. chiefly In the Interest of
jobbers, largely Increased taxes have been
Imposed upon the necesaries of our In
dustrie and upon the common necessaries
of life. While the surplus has been scat
tered an da treasury deficit it fully $100,
too, 000 a year made Inevitable lo be met
by Increased taxes or. the people, the won
ton, cruel additional taxes levied on the
necessaries of life, reduce the value of the
earnings of Indu stry fully ten per cent, by
that percentage of Increase on article of
universal consumption.
That the people should condemn such a
congress with an emphasis never before
exhibited In popular elections was onh
logical, and the close of the Fifty-first con
gress sends more men Into retirement by
defeat at the polls than was known or even
approached In all the political revolutions
of the past. The great north was revolu
tionised by the mad recklessness of the
congress just closed, and for the first time
since the successful organisation of the re.
publican party, the northern state sent a
clear majority of democrats to congress
and reversed the republican majority vf
400,000 in iSSS Into an antl republican
majority of 100,000 In 1890.
No party In all the varied political
history of American politics ever suffered
such a defeat hen It held every depart
ment of power, and no congress since the
Insane Democratic Lecomplon Congress
of 1 857-8,6 ver to insolently defied the pro.
pie after Its entire pollry and leadership
had been overwhelming condemned by
the country.
The Fifty-first congress now belongs to
history and considerate men of all parties
rejoice to-day that Ita work is ended. The
one sliver lining to the Impenetrable cloud
that shames Its record, Is the failure of the
patty of power to consummate Iti crowning
wickedness by the passage of the Force
Election bill. The few republicans who
rescued our politic from chaos and our
business from para I j sis by defeating the
Force revolutionists, will be crytuiiaed In
the crateful memories of the republl:;
but the midsummer madness ot the defeat
ed party la exhibited in the effort to exclude
tire bravest and best of Its men Irom party
fellow. hln for a conspicuous patriotic ser
vice. The Fltty-first congress It dead.

THE gILVElt QL IVST10X.
Except as the silver question affected
more Important subject In the recent con
gress, Th World has not gtven it the prom
inence which many people seemed to
think i deserved. A compared lth heme
rule or federal supervision, with high
txes or low, with restriction of Industry
and commerce or the reverse, with free
debate or gag rules, silver appeared to ui
to present a question ot rrlnor consequence,
especially after the very liberal Increase of
coinage provided by the late congress.
The manufacturer demanding free raw
materials, the people seeking cheaper
necessaries of life, the farmer striving for
condition In which hit Industry may
thrive, not lo ay live, and the inhabitants
of the couth wishing only assured liberty to
manage their own domestic affair will
never content that a mere expansion of
silver coinage shall be permitted to divide
the great conservative democratic party.
It will, if we are not greatly mistaken,
make a much smaller figure in the next
congress than it did in the last, and there
it almost no likelihood that it will acquire
the portentous prominence in the demo
cratic national convention of next year
which has been so seriously apprehended.
And this seems to be the.view of no less
a man than Roger Q Mills He insls's
upon tax refotm first and silver coinage
afterwards. The one must not be per
mitted to delay or embarrass the other, tie
reported as follows:
. "The law passed last year providing for
the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver
bullion per month, equal to about $5,000,
000, hts so far had no perceptible effect
in relieving the distresses of the country.
But If we had free col naze It would pro-
fduce no appreciable effect for good until
taxation is reduced. The first step to take
U to reduce the rates of taxation to the.
lowest posslb'e pofnt, and Increase imports
and exports to the highest possible point.
That will lower the pi Ice of manufactures,
raise the price of agricultural products,
distribute the congested wealth of the
country and revive its Industries In all de
partments. When we accomplish this we
can set.le the silver question. Until It is
done we should permit nothing to distract
our councils 01 divide our forces. If we
act wisely we will unite as one man and
strike with all our force for a reduction of
the tariff and an enla'gement of our trade.
It wou'd be folly for u now to go to
wrangling over silver and divide our own
forces. We arc for tariff for revenue
only."
No one will accuse Mr Mills of lack of
Intelligent Interest In free colnnge. Uc has
been out spoken In its bc-half from the be.
ginning. And his great name, sullied by
iio suspicion of any motive unwortny the
purest statesmen In American history, has
gone far to nihke the cause respectable.
Ills decided relegation of the subject to lis
minor and proper place, below the greater
questlcr.sof the time, will be accepted as a
fresh evidence ot his good sense and pa
triotism, as well as of the single hearted
devotion of the tariff reformer and of the
southern democrats, represented by him
to the fortunes of the only party which
promises permanent relief from the abuses
of centralisation.
As Mr Mills points nut in the fore-going
extract, no other expedient will produce
any appreciable good "until taxation is re
duced." Wher. that Is done it will prob
ably be found that the pinch is over, that
the distress which occasions the cry 'for
"more money" is being relieved in a legit
imate way, and that few or more will be
anxiout for further experiments.

Washington, March 9, 1891.
Mr Harrison has never been credited
with having an oversupply ot backbone,
but he has just given Indisputable evidence
that he can bo stubborn when ho desires to
be. Sometime before congress adjourned
he nominated James II Realty to be United
States Dlstrlc. Judge tor Idaho, but owing
to the active opposition ot the two Idaho
senators and other republicans the senate
adjourned without acting on the nomina
tion. Now Mr Harrison hat appointed
Mr Beatty to be judge, and he will tit on
the bench until the senate meets again,
even It his nomination should then be re
jected. Another exhibition ot the obstin
acy of Mr Harrison was his going off today
on a week's hunting trip Instead ot settling
trjp question of who shall be tl.e nine
judges of the United States Circuit Court,
provided for under the new law, which he
wa urged lo do by many members ot his
party, who do not wish to leave here until
this matter Is settled. It Is thought that
It was to get away from this gang that Mr
HarrUon went on this hunting trip, but It
will do him no gool, for these fellows will
never leave here until these prises are dis
tributed. liDcllevlng that It would he but justice to
have the democratic party represented In
these appointments, number ot prominent
democrats have decided to present the
name ot Representative Culberson, of
Texas, to Mr Harrison. Mr Culberson is
recognised aa one of the ablest lawyers In
congress and he was re-elected to the
Fifty-second congress, but hi friends say
tiiat he would resign If appointed to the
bcr.ch,as the judicial dutlet would be more
congenial. It Is not probable, however,
that Mr Harrison will give the democrats
even one outot the nine new judge.
Keprentaslve Sayert, of Texas, who has
to a large extent taken tho Important
plate so long and so ably filled by the late
Representative Samuel J Randall In the
House committee on appropriations, has
made a statement showing the amount ap
propriated by the Fifty-first congress to be
in excess ot one billion and tlx million
dollars stop a moment and think of that
Immense amount of money, lie has also
suggested a practical way to reform the ex
penditures ot the govcrnmtnt that Is
worthy ot careful consideration by the
new democratic House. He thinks that
there should be one committee of mm Ives
than fifteen member upon the expendi
ture of Ihe government Instead of a sep
erate committee for each department as It
Is now.
Mr Sayer says In advocacy of Mil
change: "It lea fact which cannot be dis
puted that no single one of the several
committees upon the expenditures In the
departments has within the last three con
gretset ever Investigated the expenditure
ot any department and reported the result
ot their Investigation to the House. In
truth, th-e committee have rarely ever
held even a single sitting during any con
grcss, and the consequence ha bten that
nothing ha resulted to the Houe from
their organisation. If a general committee
ot fifteen were organised , possessing Ihe
same dignity and enjoying the same
power and privilege at thecommtt'ee
on way and mean and the committee on
appropriations, it cannot be doubttd that
such a committee would be able to furnUh
the House with such Information and ad
vice a would lead to a very great reduction
of expenditure and a thorough reform In
the admlnlitratlon of the public service.
What do the House and the country know
of the expenditure under the several law
making Indefinite appropriations? Tht
expenditures and method cf administra
tion under these permanent appropriation
acts ae practically unknown to congress.
What do congress and Ihe country know
about the Internal administration of Ihe
Pension Office, the' Patent Office, and
Eureau of Internal Revcn je and the sever
al bureau cf the war and navy depart
ments? Mr Saycrs hat another good Idea too
that should not be overlooked. Hethlnkt
the House should elect a permanent chair
man of the committee of the whole and
the committee of Ihe whole on the stile of
the union. In speaking of this he said:
'Il hat beer, a noticeable fact that these
chairmen have been appointed by the
speaker, from time to time, at the Instance
of the gentlemen whose bills were to be
considered, and very often it hat been the
case that the rulings of such chairmen
have not only been at variance, but have
led to the suspicion that there was an un
due leaning towards Ihe opinion expressed
by the gentlemen in charge of the partic
ular bi.l under consideration when a
question ot order hat been raised. This
would be obviated by electing one man to
thu position, making him independent of
the speaker." Mr 8s.yers thlnkt these two
changes would result in reducing the
current expenditures at !east 30 per cent.

lvx-Prci'lent Cleveland has written a letter

party organs arc condemning him in all di

We prefer such man. even though we know
he is against us, rather thaan office seeking

sentiment. Political demagogue are the bane
of the country. Men of principle, whohe

Henry is really scheming in tbe interest of Wm

far-seeing srtougli to understand that not evtn
the demn .rats, with all their bright prospects
ahead of t!im, can elect a president whose
nomination is brought about through Intrigue
and chicanery. The people ia the next presi
dential election will be in such a mood as to
brook no foolishness o trifling. Party lines
are not very binding. It would be much better
for the democrats to suffer defeat ugaia than
to succeed by electing a president who would
be no credit tothrm. This is very l)roaiI,ex
pansive couatry, with innumerable iittereslr,
many of which conflict wi h each other. These
must be harmonized on the -broad basis of the
greatest good to the greatest nuirber. This is
far more desirable than the mere success of
any party. A laae majority of the most in
