SOME OF THE OTHER SIDE.
The battle at Salem is over, and won
or lost, according to the position from
which it is contemplated. It is perhaps
as well to let it pass into the quiet sleep
of oblivion ; but there are some asser
tions made that cannot be sustained by
the facts. One of these is that the anti
Dolph legislators blocked legislation and
prevented many economic measures be
ing adopted. In so far as maintaining
one side of the dispute is concerned,
that may be true, but if true, is true of
both sides. Let us take an example:
The senate consisted of nineteen repub
licans, eight democrats and three popu
lists. Of the nineteen republicans,
three were against Dolph and sixteen, a
clear majority of the entire senate, and
enough to pass any bill, were for Dolph,
yet the business of the senate was no
better conducted than that of the house
When the appropriation bill, was passed
by the bouse, the $20,000 item for pay
ing the railroad commissioners .was
struck out. In the senate that action
which was certainly in the interest of
economy, was repudiated and the
amount was put back in the bill by the
senate, with its sixteen solid Dolph
members. Who blocked that effort at
economy?
Another statement, that the Dolph
men elected McBride, is not any more
fully borne out by the facts. That he
was nominated by Cleeton, a Dolph
man, is true, but when the vote was
taken, those who were opposed to Dolph
voted for McBride, to a man. So that
wheii the election was accomplished, it
was by a vote of thirty anti-Dolph men
and seventeen of that gentleman's sup
porters.
It is useless to stir the matter up. It
is settled, and we hope for the best,
Recriminations and disputes are not
going to assist in healing the sore spots
and the sooner the whole question is
dropped, the better. Each side can
find lots of things to kick about, and
they are creditable to neither.
IT ADJOURNS MONDAY.
Congress is down to its work in great
shape just now ; but outside of the ap
propriation and deficiency bills, little
will be accomplished. Next Monday
the session will expire, and the demo
crats will step down and out; it is
hoped to remain out for an indefinite
time. We can cheerfully say, without
mental' reservation, and not being
prompted by malice, prejudice or ill
will toward the soon to be late and
sadly lamented democratic congress
that lis like never before met in legisla
tive meditation. It failed to do anv
thing that it promised to do, and it did
many things that it should not have
done. It found the country prosperous.
and it leaves it with its business stag,
nant and its industries sadly crippled
It has saddled an interest-bearing debt
of many millions on the people. It has
reduced the revenues of the govern men
to a point that will cause still farther
indebtedness, and it has violated every
pledge made by the party by which it
was placed in power. Every true dem
ocrat is ashamed of it, and every repub
lican , regretfully sorry that the pitiful
puny microbes of desolation were ever
allowed to inoculate the nation's capi
tal With t rift aoAfla nf Hum nVinnliohniioo
However, it dies Monday, and as it
already smells to heaven, it will be
buried deep, and while never forgotten
, will be remembered only as a national
disgrace.
DON'T REALIZE THEIR POSITION
The most amusing thing about the
Chinese situation is the self-satisfied
manner of the Chinese officials, and the
confident manner in which they declare
that Japan cannot do this, or cannot do
that. They eeemed utterly oblivious of
the self-evident fact that Japan has
their country at its mercy and can dic
tate the terms of peace. The latest
statement is from Prince King who is
credited with the following:
"He questioned very seriously whether.
Japan could claim possession of the ter
ritory she had conquered together with
-400,000,000 taels indemnity. 'China,
he. said, 'stands upon principle, and
Japan upon power. If Japan will meet
her in a friendly spirit, the conclusion of
peace will be possible. If her demands
are exorbitant China will continue the
fight.' He added he did not think Japa
.could overran all the Chinese provinces
even if the war was continued."
It is said that Governor Lord holds
that the legislature having failed to elect
railroad commissioners be has the right
to appoint the successors to the present
board. While we are unalterably op
posed to commissions in general and
railroad commissions in particular, we
know of no reason why the present board
shoald be superseded. They are all
clever gentlemen, and can and will do
all the work required of them as well as
any one. If the commission ie to be
kept the present commissioners might as
well be kept too. They know what is
required by reason of their salary fitting
them, and should be let alone.
We suggest that the 5th of March be
declared a national holiday, or else that
the Xovember Thanksgiving be trans
ferred to that date, for surely there is no
one thing over which the nation ought
to so sincerely rejoice as upon the ad
ournment of congress. That is some
thing for which indeed, all could give
thanks.

Officials Disbelieve .the Humor of
Trouble at Blaeflelds.
Washington, Feb. 27. Officials of
the state and navy departments are dis
posed to discredit the story that there
has been trouble at Bluefields There
is no warship nearer this point than the
Atlanta, which has been at Colon sev
eral weeks. Her commander's report
showed everything quiet at the ports be
visited. It is assumed he is in a posi
tion to bear as promptly as any one of
the reported trouble at Bluefields.
There are a few-American vessels plying
between Bluefields and the United
States engaged in tropical trade, but Of
ficials here cannot conceive any reason
why they shoald be interfered with in
a hostile way by any British man-of-
war, and the belief is that if any ships
have been disabled as reported, it must
be the result of accident.
