Congress Reviewed
On March 4th, at noon, the Fifty-first
Congress (in the opinion of tnany
veteran legislators the most remarkable
Congress since the war) came to an end
by constitutional limitation. From the
first to tbe last "he session was ia teres t
iog and eventful and at no long periods
were they ever characterized by the
dullness, which, occasionally fojy--days
at a time, marked the proceedings of
nearly every Congress and especially of
those Congresses in which the first
^aession is unusually prolonged. The
actual workiug time of the Fifty-first
Congress exceeded that of any of its
predecessors and the nominal working
. time of all except'the Fiftieth Congress,
and in the number of measures brought
to its attention and the number, variety
and importance of those acted on, ii
likewise surpassed all previous Con?
gresses. Three measures any of which
in intrinsic importance and popular in?
terest would be sufficient for a national
i-isue, stand forth pre-eminent among
ail others: The McKinley tariff bill,
which became law. Second, the silver
bill, on which in the first session a
compromise was effected, based on the
monthly purchases of 4.500,000 ounces
of silver, which io turn was followed by
a more radical measure that failed of
passage ; and third, the Federal tlec
lions bili, which after a protracted,
bitter, holly fought and intensely
exciriug preliminary struggle, failed in
the Senate to reach a decisive vote on
its nerits. The radical innovations in
tbc-rales nf the House added interest to
its proceedings aud the determined but
fruitless efforts to adopt tbe most vital
of these innovations, the former part of
the history of thc last part of the session
of the Senate. E/?n in its mortuary
records Congress wa> remarkable, the
call of death having summoned no
fewer th&D twelve of its Representatives
and three of its Senators.
Many of the bills enacted into laws
appropriated an unusually large amount
of money, and the expenditures author
ized will exceed those of any * peace"
Congress sisee the foundation of the
government. The to*al appropriations
by thev Fiftieth Congress were, during
the first se-Vton $395 337.516, and
during the second session ?422 62 > 3 -3
or an aggregate of $$17,905,859;
while the appropriations for the first
session of the Fifty-first Congress were
?160.627.097. and those of the second
session will propably bring the total
appropriations for this Congress to oue
thousand minion dollars.
A comparison of the work of the Con?
gress just closed with that of its imme
diate predecessor makes the following
exhibit: Bills introduced in the House
io the Fifty-first Congress, 14.033,
?gains: in the Fiftieth Congress 12 054;
increase, 1 379; joint resolutions, 279;
increase of ten. Senate bills 5,129.
against 4,000, or an increase of 1 129 ;
joint resolutions. 169 ; increase of 21
Thc number of bills pas-ed by the
House were 1.748, of which 1.513 be
came laws, and by Senate 1,305, of
which 072 became laws, making a total
number of laws doriug the Fifty-first
Congress 2.180, against 1,821 in the
Fiftieth Congress, an increase of 36.
The Senate also postponed indefinitely
616 Senate and 18 House bills, th's
being equivalent to their defeat.
- Daring the Fiftieth-Congress 161 bills
were vetoed, and during the Fiftv-first
Congress 14, the most important of
which were the Act establishing the
record and pension office of the War
Department, and the Act provid?og for
a publie building at 13;r Harbor, Me.,
Dallas. Trxas, Hudson, New York, and
and Tuscaloosa. Ala.
Out of eighteen contested election
cases the Hou?e seated eight of the Re
. -publican contestants and declared the
t^at of Breckiuri^ge of Arkansas va
cant. Two cases. Goodrich vs Bullock,
from Florida, and Mv,Ginuii>h vs. Alder
son, from West Virginua, in which the
commii'ee recommended the seating of
the Republican contestant, were not
disposed of, and the Elections Cornoiit
iee itself never acted on Eaton vs.
Phelan, a Tennessee case. The Senate
disposed of its s >le contested election
case by seating two Republican Senators
from Montana
As the result of the work of Con?
gress a great number of measures which
have for years occupied more or less of
the attention of the legislative branch of
the government will be transferred to
the Executive and Judicial Depart?
ments of th? government-tnere.

The bill for the appointment of an alco

were defeated on test votes, while
among those which, after passing oue

Caro
Governor Tillman spent a few days
in Washington last seek, and while
there was made the s abject of a
to The New York Tienes. The
is as follows :
"Governor Tillman of South
linaa, has been enjoying the privilege
of occupying a seat iu the house of rep
resentatives, which is a privilege com?
mon to the governors of States He is
a young looking man, with smooth
face and dark, grimy complexion. Ile
is rather tall and slender, and some?
what awkward in hi? movemeuts.
His hands are rough and market!
with the scars of toil, and the brawny
wrists are not decorated with cuffs.
He has a heavy chin and a mouth every
line of which denotes firmness, the ex?
pression being set and not broken at
any time by a smile. There is a blank?
ness about his countenance, caused by
the absence of an eye, The socket of
his left eye is empty He bears only
a slight family resemblance to his bro?
ther, Representative Tillman. The
man was a strauger to the members of
the House, as well as to the public.
He does not appear so be old enough
to be a governor, and be does not look
like the governor of s; State like South
Carolina. He seems more like a son of
the hustling and hardy West. His
conversation is not fluent, but the lack
of that quality seems to come from a
contempt for talk, and not from a lack
of capability. He is evidently a man of
brains v
Governor Tillman was in Washington
last week and attracted general atten?
tion on the fl ?or of the House of Repre?
sentatives. ? large number of Demo?
cratic members were presented prrson
ally to him. Fie succeeded in the ob
ject of his visit which was to arrange
with the superintendent of the United
States Coast Survey to survey the phos?
phate territory in this State. lie also
secured some advance figures of the cen
sus which may be of use in the re-ap?
portionment of representation in the

To Raise Cotton in Russia.
CHICAGO, III , March 4-Edward
Goujoo, master of horse to his Imperial
Majesty, the Csar of Russia, is in j
Chicago en route to St. Petersburg. I
With the approval of the Czar he came ,
to this country early last year and pur- j
chased a plantation near Shreveport, j
La., for the purpose of studying the j
theory and practice of cotton raising. I
He believes that Central Asia offers
great, possibilities for the raising cf the
cotton plant, and oe is on his way back
to the Russian dominions to put his
knowledge into practice. He and
Prince Dalgorourka already own large
plantations in the At>ia cotton belt, j
which they will at once plant in cotton, I
assisted by some Louisiana cotton plant?
ers as overseers, and with some negroes, !
who will be taken there to teach the
natives.
Possessed of the imperial favor and
confidence, they have the promise that
the tariff on American* and Indian cot?
ton will be made prohibitory and trans?
portation facilitated between their plan?
tations and the market, not only of
Russia, but also those of other Euro?
pean countries. The price of labor io
Central Asia is very low and M. Gou-?
jon believes that in an open coutest he !
can ?rive out American cotton from i
European markets and yet make an im- I
meuse profit.
You cannot accomplish anv work or busi?
ness unless you feel well, if you feel used up
-tired out-take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsa?
parilla. It will give you health, strength and
vitality. vj-*nl
