Mu. Goove doesn’t take his rejection by the senate with entire amiability, and has made tho mistake of writing a letter attacking Senator Hoar and foolishly wredicting that his rejection will lead to serious danger to the government. A man with such a record as that of (ioode ought to avoid as much as possible at tracting public attention, for it is certain that the more it is examined the uglier and more repulsive it nust look, Just now the rejected candidate for solicitor general Iay an extremely small con- stituency of sympathizers, and the num- ber is steadily diminishing. SeNator VAN WYCR submitted n spicy majority report upon the Backbone land grant bill. He informed the senate that the grant was the most improvident and reckless piece of land grant logisla tion known in the last twentv-five years, an open and braz fraud, “‘offering the most defiant hostility to honest methods, and with no pretense or effort to do any- thing but swindle the Unmited States. The company did nothing beyond issumg bonds, tryingfito cheat the man who printed them and transferring to an- other company land to which it had no title. The bill, which is called a bill to declare a forfeiture of in lands, is really, Senator Van Wyck said, ® bill to confirm patents alveady 1ssued for the lands and to give to the New Or- leans Pacitic compuny 800,000 acres more.

It ap. pears tbat in 1853 the forest area of the State was ubout fourteon million acres, of which less than one-third remained in 1884. The cutting of forests for a num- ber of years has averaged 100,000 acres a r, at which rate a few yoars would be Migicit for the complete dostruetion of the remaining forests of the state.

In refer ring to Mr. Adams’ manasgement of that corporation he said “Under his administration close methods of accounting have been esta lished; business forcign to the purposes of railways, hitherto prosecuted in many dircetions and for many purposes, has been discontinued, supernumerary and ornamental confidential — employes,” clothed apparently with abundant confi- dence and no visible duties apart from the pay-roll, have been dropped. * * The company leaves the government of the country to the general public and nd- dressos itself exclusively to railway busi- ness, 1€ ths be so the people will have veason to congratulate themselvos, But how is it with the Burlington and the Northwest- ern systems?

Of nearly thirteen thousand billy and joint resolu- tions introduced into both houses less than seven hundred have become laws. Of this number it is worthy of the ri mark that searcely a score can be consid- ered to aflect general interests. 3he mo: important of these ave: The act provid- ing for the performance of the dutics ot the president in case of removal, death resignation or mability of both the pre dent and vice president; the act logali ing the incorporation of nationul trad unions; the act reducing the fee on do- mestic orders for sums not exceeding $5; the Dingley shipping bill, the act uthorizing the construction of a con- ional hbrary, and the olcomargarine ongress. rty-mnth Con- Muny of the most important measure failed of action in the scssion. Among the bills on which the public demandc prompt action and which securing enactment were the following: The bankruptey bill, the Blair educa- tional bill, the inter-state commerce bill, the several land forfeiture bills, the tarift bill, the arbitration bill, the eight-hour bill, the Eads ship railway bill, the Pa- cifi ilroad funding bill, the bill in- sing the annual uppropriation for the the Mexican pension bill, the ul count bill, several general pen- m bills, the bill for the mission of Dakota to statchood, the bill providing for opening to settlement the Sioux In- (han reservation, the bill providing for the equalization of bountics, the bill granting pensions to prisoners of war, also counting the clectoral votes, Mexican pensions, repeal of the pre-cmption law and the Chinese immigration bill, Four thousand bills introduced during the session were referred to the cominit- tee on mvalid pensions, Favorable - ommendations were made upon 1,000 and adverse reports upon 550 of these bills. This committee also received 1,700 petitions, In the forty-cighth congress (both sessions) the committee on nvalid pensions received 2,833 bills, and reported favorably upon 585, adversely on 422, and 524 were enacted into laws. ‘The next session, beginning on Decem- ber 6, will last only nine wecks if the customary number of days nre given to holidays. If the work of this session is to be taken as a criterion very little more than another set of appropriation bills can be auticiputed during the next session. hie Iron Bog Whatever other industries are de- pressed the iron and steel trade shows a wonderful inc e in production. The semi-unnual statement of the ILron asso- ciation reports thatin the fivst six months of 1856 the United States produced more pig iron than in any other year in the history of the country, The increase over the corresponding period of 1883 was more than 800,000 tons, or about 87.4 per cent, while 1t was 575,000 tons, or nearly 25 per cent, as compared with the last half of 1885, The greatest absolute guin was naturally made by Pennsyl- vanian, but Ohio and Alabama show the best percentage of increass, Ohio next to Pennsylvania in total production. Alabama and Tennessee showllarge gains, but Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Georgia have lost ground, The stoek of unsold pig-iron was 470,000 tons, June80, ngainst 629,000 & year The produe- tion of Bessemer steel rails rose from 452,000 in the first hulf of 1885 and 622,000 in the last half to 707,000 in the fivst half of 1886; of steel ingots trom 768,000 to 038,000 and 1,078,000 for the same periods. The towl production of iron and steel for tho year will surpass all previous records. Without doubt the iron and stael prof duation for the year will be the groatest ever known in fhis country. It will evi- i ond to Parnell ! we mistake not will be inerd dently exceed 5,000,000 tons, whercas the largest years ever known before were 1882 and 1888, when the production resched 5,178,000 and 5,146,000 tous re- spectively, Then it ran down to 4,699,006 | Next? In1885. An increase of one-third in one year would be very large indesd, al- though by no meavs unprecedenied.

In 1871 there was a leap from 1,911,000 tons to 2,856, 000, or very nearly 50 per growth held on till 1874, In 1879 there was a leap trom 8,070,000 to 4,206,000, or 45 per cent, and the growth held on till 1883 1hese figure {seem to indicate an increase this year of from 35 to 40 per and afterwards much slower growth for two or three years, then o retrogression of 10 per cent fe year o two followed by unother hes Ivance The iron and steel boom comes and g ix to cight years apart. wou cent, n in periods from s An Irish Hero Brave and manly Michacl soon to revisit America and meet s of friends which his heroism patriotism in the canso of Ireland have made him in this country.
