When so published, the -slip laws
are given to the editor of the laws
- (a competent person selected from
the legal profession by the secre
fnry of state and privately em
ployed for that purpose), who
notes marginal references to pre
vious legislation, arranges the acts
and resolutions by "chapters," and
prepares a suitable index; and un
der his editorial care, at the end of
the session of Congress, they ap
pear; again in pamphlet form, as
"session laws." Lastly, at close
ot a Congress, the laws of each

as "Statutes-at-Large." The num
erous readings given to the printed
"proof," and the careful compari
son 5v?ith the text of the originals,
effectually guard against discrep
ancies. The manner in which the
department performs its duty is
thoroughly creditable; the man
ner in which Congress dismisses
its own work is, in many instances,
absolutely disgraceful. Some of
the rolls received at the depart
ment are disfigured by erasures,
interlineations and blots, by errors
.in orthography, capitalization and
punctuation, and by hieroglyphic
mangling, that suggest the master-pieces"
of school boy art.

The coming year promises to be crowded
with stirring events..
In the United states the entrance of new
issues into the political arena has been fol
lowed by a change of administration. But
the great economic question on which the
campaign turned is still unsettled, and its
solution is now committed to a congress al
most equally divided between tne two great
parties.
1 Jfiurope is a vast camp. Army corps pa
trol the frontiers, and millions of men await
the sigital for the inoat titanic war the wold
has ever seen.
The Examiner's news-gathering machin
ery is unequalled. Its correspondents dot
the habitable globe. Nothing can escape '
their vigilmice, and no expense is spared m
spreading the results of their efforts before
the Examiner's readers.
The most noted writers of fiction in the
world contribute to the Weekly Examiner.
Jules Verne, author of 'A Trip to t .
Moon, etc.; Kobert louis oteyecson, Ha
th or of '.'Treasure Island," etc.; Rider
Haggard, author of "She, etc; Anna
Katharine Green, author of "The Leaven
worth Case," etc.; have all written stories
for the Weekly Examiner, and will do se
in the future.
