A New England way of answering the inquiry “What has Congress done?” would be to ask “What have the committees done?’ The legislative record is made by committee. An industrious and capable committe> is a power that makes itself felt from end to end of a session; a weak organization leaves little impress tpon the Pages of the journal and adds practically pothing to the labors of the engrossing clerks. Fortunately for the people of Wash- irgton, the two congressional committees whose privileze it has been to control all general legislation as to the District cf Columbia, have, during the session just closed, been remarkably attentive to their duties and have as a natural sequence made a record to be proud of. There is no such thing as a quota of legistation—noth- ing to curb the lawmaking ambition or to wholesome activity—so the District ees have placed to their respective and collective credits legislative rewards considerably in excess of anything previ- ously known in local history. The bright, active men—especially those who are new to Congressional affairs— ought naturally to gravitate to member- ship in the District Committees; there they have opportunities to learn the meth. cds of practical law-making and Congres- sional speech-making; opportunities not vouchsafe who are content with e assignments where the demand fs almost entirely absent. Dis- slation is a frequent feature in ioral proceedings—two days in th ace set apart by the House for considcration while in the Senate it bobs up continually—so It is comparative- ly easy for an able but inexperienced mem- her to become intimate with the methods with which he must be acquainted before he may reasonably aspire to legislative prominence. It should also be borne in mind that local legislation is non-partisan; it cultivates mental and political breadth and incites to detailed study of the many and various municipal needs of the resi- dents in this pecullarly-goveraed commun- ity. During the session which concluded this week there has been more than ordinary devotion to District business by District committees; this has been so :n the House in the face of many difficulties; in the Senate there was less obstructiveness and no demagogic effort in behalf of mistaken economy. For the good that has resulted from patient and conscientious attention to the needs of the National Capital both in the District and Appropriations Commit- tees the nearly three hundred thousand residents return thanks. Many of the things that have been left undone by Con- gtess will doubtless be taken up and com- ted at the next session. ——__- + +e A Missing Sense of Humor. European editorials upon American affairs are as a rule of two classes; they either annoy or amuse; hardly ever do they instruct. It might reasonabiy be supposed that the Lonion Times would provide fre- quent exceptions to the rule, inasmuch as the Thunderer prides itself upon its editorial wisdom, but even that journal declines to avail itself of the services of those who are conversant with political and social conditions in this country. The latest effort of the Thunderer to enlighten its readers on current history in the United States deals with McKinley, of whom it says that his career offers nothing that the most devoted biographer could call plc- turesque, his convictions are inconspicuous, and his opinions are indeterminate. Similar criticism has come from anti-McKinley newspapers cn this side of the Atlantic, but the Times strikes out for itself when :t says: “Mr. McKinley has been acclaimed by the seribes of his party as a Napoleon, but party enthusiasm in America is capable of incongruities so splendid as to reach the highest effects of sarcasm.” The erudite gentleman who wrote the “leader” never Saw @ portrait of McKinley, or if he did it @id not oceur to him that it was facial rather than mental resemblance to the great warrior that originally gave Mr. Mc- Kinley the title which the Times discusses with so much of s2riousness—a title estab- lished and confirmed, nowever, by recent political exploits. Some of these days the Times will hear of Field Marshal Murat Halstead and then we shall have solemn editorial inquiry as to where he procured his title and why. ———_+ + + __ Before expecting a public man to express himself in favor of either gold or silver for currency purposes the catechist should be able to give some definite assurance as to which metal is represented by the more votes. —+++____ The attention of the newspapers is now fixed so closely on St. Louis and Chicago that Mr. Cleveland coukl go fishing with very little risk of attracting the notice which he has seemed anxious to avoid. —_~+ ++ ___ Two hundred and thirty men were em- ployed today on the rew city post-office building; most of them stopped work at noon. ——- +++ __ Mr. Platt will at least succeed in corrall- ing the dignity that attaches to being known as “the opposition. ————++2—__ Cuba im the Conventions. Spain is on the eve of another wrestle with the vexing American problem. Con- gress she has never been able to under- stand. Why President Cleveland, her friend and ally, did not command silence in that bedy when the subject of Cuba was brought up has been a mystery to Madrid. Explanations have all gone for nothing. It has seemed strange to the Spanish in- telligence that if the President had no re- spect for Congress, and had power enough to thwart its action, he could not go one step further and regulate its debates, call- ing it down when it touched upcn delicate ground, and rebaking it openly when its Geliverances seemed extreme. And now a second puzzle is at hand. The national conventions are coming on. The Tepublicans will meet next weeek, and the democrats three weeeks later. Both bodies will- pass. resolutions of -eordial- sympathy with thé insurgent cause: The two bodies, taken together, will represent the great bulk of the American people. What will Spain think of that? How will she digest it? Will ske decide that the President should have prevented it? Will it seem strange to hor that while these popular assemblies were rioting in 6n indulgence in sentiment of such nature, her frierd in executive autherity should have been ab- sent at his summer home taking his ease after six morths of hard work? Will she feel that at such a time he should have Leen on the scene and active in her be- half? Her friends in this country will of course endeavor to set her right. They will ex- plain the conventions as they have all along explained Congress. She will be told that the conventions were merely noisy bodies of reckless politicians scheming for advantage in a home contest. Their de- liverances mean nothing. They are de- ; Signed to serve only a temporary purpose. The President will be defended. Spain will he assured that he is all right, and ad- jured to put her trust in him. He will not forsake her. The marshals and district attorneys, and the fast cruisers, are still at his command, and may still be put at Spain’s service at the bare suggestion of Minister-de Lome. But Spain will wonder, and a fresh outburst of Spanish indigna- tion may be expected to follow the St. Louis and the Chicago deliverances. The insurgents will not be misled. They will get the correct appraisement of the latter. They will understana that these convention resolutions do mean something; that an Irresistible public s2ntiment is be- Find them, and that, in the end, it will inure to their advantage. They are not law. They cannot be put into immediate operation lixe a statute; but they will com- Pel the making of law, and when that jaw comes it will be all the more compre- hensive and effective for the delay. The next occupant of the White House, Whoever he may be, will be a friend of Cuban indépendence, if the struggle -on the island iz maintained by Spain that long. Gold, Silver or Both? The question of the hour is: If the re- publicans mean gold, and gold only, as many of them claim, why should there be any opposition to putting gold into the platform? Three reasons are offered against a gold declaration: @® A stringent gold plank in the plat- form would misrepresent the party. The party is not in favor of the single gold standard. It is in favor of the double standard. safeguarded. Gold payments will be maintalaed until bimetallism is secured by international agreement, or, safely, by ether means. Gold monometalism has nev- er been advocated by the republican party. There would have been no talk of it at this time if the republican party had re- mained in power. The Sherman law would probatly have been modified, but something in silver’s interests, and reasonably satis- factory to silver’s friends. would have been put in its place. The republican party, though always opposed to the free coinage of silver as an independent act by this gov- ernment, has always been friendly to sil- ver, and Is the author of all the laws de- signed to help rehabilitate silver. (2) To commit the party to what would be construed as a gold monometallic policy would, it is feared, send it to defeat at the polls. The west in those circumstances would be*certain to bolt, and a large re- publican sentiment in the middle states would be chilled into indifference. The act would be characterized as a complete and abject surrender to the money power. and bimetallists by the hundreds, as well as straightout silver republicans would, it is belfeved, go over to the support of the Chicago nominees. @) The leading argument against the democracy would be destroyed. The dem- ‘ocrats are cértain to declare for free coin- age at 16 to 1, and will claim in the cam- paign that that means bimetatlism. The republicans will denounce the deliverance as one leading up to silver monometallism. Gold would be driven out of use. The democracy will be actused of ‘trying to Mexicanize the finances of the country. The way to prevent that—the only way— will be for all who oppose lowering. the finances to the single silver basis to support the St. Louis nominees. Ft wil! be insisted on that the republican party is for. genuine bimetallism. It is evident, therefore, from these three reasons, trat the republican leaders who counsel a conservative plank see danger in both extremes. They are willing, of course —anxious even—that the democrats shall take the risk of declaring for free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, but on their side they want no deliverance which would be likely to defeat their claim in the cam- paign of being in favor. of the double standard. when safeguarded by interna- tional agreement. They foresee that the real struggle will be between those who favor and oppose the sflyer mono- metallism that will result from free coinage at 16 to 1; they belleve that the fight will be a fierce one, and to insure a sound money victory, and the maintenance of the present standard until bimetallism can with conceded safety be substituted, they wish to gather under the republican banner all who oppose silver monometallism as disastrous to the public credit and na- tional prosperity. —_____+ ¢=—_____ Sidewalks for Pedestrians. The ordinarily-carefil wheelman, who dces not scorch, and who makes an effort to observe the rights of other people who do not ride, deserves some consideration frem the public in the matter of the use of the driveway by pedestrians. Washington sidewalks are so notoriously bad that it is no wonder that citizens prefer the asphalt. Yet that fact should not excuse them from strict observance of the rules of the road that govern the driveway. Probably many a collision between wheelmen and pedes- trians i@ caused by the unwarranted pres- erce of the latter in the street. Such col- lisions are often charged to the fault of the Bicycle rider, and unjustly so in some cases. There is a present movement toward better sidewalks, and, perhaps, in the course of a few years the people of Was! ington will be able to overcome the habit of walking in the street; which Is sald to mark a resident of this city wherever he is. Whoever makes choice of the driveway over the sidewalk takes the risk of encountering the swifter-moving bodies that there hold possession. Scorching, of course, becomes more dangerous under such circumstances, and the reasons for its discouragement are j more powerful here in consequence. At cross-walks the wheelman cannot hope to avoid responsibility for collision, for there the pedestrian has a right of way that must be respected. —_ e+ ____ Mr. Reed's reasonable distaste for the vice-presidency is about the only circum- stance that offers the prospect of a spirited contest at St. Louis. —~e2—___ Hereafter every prudent political candi- date will take precautions to avoid being deluded into throwing up the sponge by proxy. —_~ +2 ____ The effect of the silver stampede is some- what marred by a tendency to balk before it gets well under way. It seems very difficult for Mr. Hanna to find a financial plank that has no splinters in it. —-++—____ General Grosvenor will new cease count- ing delegates and go after bigger game. ‘The week prior to the republican national convention at St. Louls witnessed the sembliing of the leaders there and many of the delegates. A sensation was caused by the refusal of the hotels to accommodate the colored delegates, -but the hotels after- ward receded from their position. The na- tional committee was controlled by the McKinley men, and so many contests were decided in his favor that the report was circulated that Mr. Platt and his friends had threatened to bolt the convention if the six contestants from New York should be seated. The financial plank continues the leading topic among the political man- agers and delegates at St. Louis. The Maryland, Connecticut and Minnesota democratic conventions met and voted against free coinage of silver. The Indian territory democratic convention declared for free silver. The first session of the Fifty-fourth Congress adjourned. The resolution for an inquiry into the circum- stances of the award of the statue of Gen- eral Sherman was defeated in the Senate. The twenty-eighth National Saengerfest opened in Pittsburg. Severe storms did considerable damage in Illinois and Mich- igan. The golden jubilee of Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati was celebrated there, many prominent clergymen participating. Lake City, a California mountain village, Was nearly destroyed by a waterspout. The Camden, N. J., grand jury returned thir- teen indictments against ex-City Treasurer Michelson, charging embezzlement and malfeasance in office. Oregon militia were held in readiness to go down the Columbia river to quell disturbances at the salmon fisheries. Two pérsons were killed and two injured in a fire in Pittsburg. One hundred and eighty cans of dynamite exploded near Lilly, Pa., killing one man and severely in- juring six others. Clarence Thornton was clubbed to death near Sandy Springs, Md., end four colored men were arrested charged with the crime. The deaths of the week in- cluded Capt. John G. Bourke,-3d Cavalry, in Philadelphia; Frank Mayo, while on @ train near Grand Island, Neb., and ex- Judge Isaac H. Maynard. Foreign. The Johannesburg reform committee leaders were released from prison. The Marquis of Salisbury stated in the house of lords that Dongola was the objective Point of the present English expedition in Egypt. Maj. Burn Murdoch’s cavalry capur- ed the entire dervish camp at Suarda, and now holds the whole of the Nile north of that place. Four of the leaders of the raid in the Transvaal were fined £25,000, and in default of payment to be banished fifteen years. Muzaffer-Ed-Din, the new Shah of Persia, was formally enthroned at Teheran; Mohammed Ali Mirza, eldest son of the shah, was proclaimed heir-ap- parent to the Persian throne. The advo- cate general at the court-martial of Gen- eral Baratien demanded that he be im- prisoned for ten years. ‘The British cruiser Bonaventure ts reported to have lost sev- enty men by sunstroke. The breach of promise sult brought by May Gore, the actress, against Viscount Sudley resulted in a verdict for the defendant. Mrs. Annie Dyer, the baby farmer of Reading, -Eng., who murdered infants intrusted to her care, was hanged in Newgate prison. In the bomb explosion at Barcelona, Spain, on Sunday eight persons were killed, twen- ty-one fatally hurt and eighteen injured. Jules Simon died at his home !n Paris. In the District. The District appropriation bill became a law Thursday, the last day of the session, carrying a total of $5,05,082.48 for the fiscal year 1896-7; in accordance with one of its provisions, the Vice President and the Speaker appointed Senators Harris, Faulk- ner and McMillan end Representatives Pit- ney, Blue and Dockery as members of the joint select commission to investigate the subject of the local charities and reforma- tory institutions. Among the bills that became laws on the eve of adjournment was that permitting the Eckington and Belt street railroad companies to extend their lines and to adopt rapid transit. The Senate refused to interfere with the Sher- man statue awards. Flag lay was ob- served in the District Friday with appro- priate ceremonies in the public schools and elsewhere. The committee on normal and high schools of the school board re- quested the resignation of Principal Sites of the Eastern High School. Another trou-- ble arose in the Emergency Hospital con- cerning the conduct of Dr. James Kerr, the surgeon-in-charge, and as a result there was a reorganization of the various wards of the hospital and Dr. Kerr's au- thority was somewhat curtailed. The trial of the Holt will case continued. Capt. John G. Bourke, 3d U.S. Cavalry, who died in Philadelphia Monday, was buried at Arl- ington. The coroner’s jury of Rockville, Md., in the case of the assault on the Buxton family, which resulted in the death of the youngest child, held Sydney Ran- dolph for the murder. —_+ ++ _____ SHOOTING STARS. For Another Purpose. The delegate wes appreached by a news- raper representative. He was a breezy, en- thusiastic delegate; one who reemed to be fairly bubbling over with good material for an interview. “What do you think of the situation?” the reporter asked. “What do I think? Young man, you ut- terly mistake the rature of my employ- ment. I’m not here to think. I’m here to holler.” Marksmanship.
