THEWORKOFCONGRESS Few Measures of Real Impor. tance Enacted. fHE COEPOEATIOBS WEEE SFAEED Hany Dealrable I.aTv Defeated or Postponed Bin of Omluloa and Commission The Negative Tri umphs of the President and Hla Party Some Democratic Victories. The Fifty-ninth emigres will be known In history as Roosevelt's con gress. At the session just epded It has done little but sneeze when the president took snuS. We hear a great deal of the president's legislative tri umphs. Let us see what they have been. Congress has passed the rail road rate bill, a bill which outrageously discriminates In favor of the Standard Oil company and allows the railroads to issue free passes to almost every body and which was made practically worthless by ,the rejection of the Bailey and La Follette amendments. On the whole, it was a triumph for the railroad and Standard Oil monopolies and the smaller grafters over the peo ple. It was. In fact, to that extent also a triumph for Hoosevelt. It has passed a meat Inspection bill putting the cost of the Inspection to the extent of $3,000,000 a year on the taxpayers of the country instead of the criminal beef trust, and yet allow ing the packers to palm off their em balmed beef on the public without put ting the date of the packing on the can. The beef trust has been greatly strengthened and rewarded by this measure at the expense of small pack era and the public. This Is Roosevelt's third triumph and will no doubt re sult in augmented contributions by the trust to the campaign fund of the O. O. P. v 'Congress, under the lash of Roose velt, passed a bill Increasing the presi dent's compensation during the term for which he was elected $25,000 a year, upon the pretext of paying his traveling expenses, though the consti tution expressly forbids such an In- " crease. The Democrats In congress op posed It. This was a triumph for Roosevelt and, like all his real trl umpbs, a blow to American lnstltu tlons. Against the advice of the best engl- neers In the country the president forc ed through congress his scheme fqr a lock canal at Tanama Instead of a sea level canal. This was a triumph of the transcontinental railroads as well as a triumph of Roosevelt. A lock canal at Panama will not Interfere very much with Harriman, Hill and Morgan. These men at least owe a great debt of grati tude to Roosevelt for bis legislative work. The proposition to subsidize ships built In this country by the protected Interests was one of the president's pet measures. It passed the senate under his lash, but It lodged in the bouse. where It will rest until the next ses slon. Roosevelt will triumph In this case if the people re-lect bis henchmen to congress next fall. Congress passed the Aldrich resolu tion authorizing and directing the pres Ident to purchase materials and equip ment for the construction of the Pana ma canal from the tariff protected trusts of this country, notwithstanding lower bids for such articles from Eu ropean bidders. This was a triumph for Roosevelt and the stand patters. - For years the labor unions have ad vocated a law making common car riers liable for Injuries to their em ployees acting under orders-; This bill was passed, and Roosevelt gets the . credit due to thes labor organizations, lie did nothing to push this bill. The senate confirmed the appoint ment of Barnes, Roosevelt's assistant private secretary, whose brutal treat ment of Mrs. Minor Morris, an aged and respectable woman, disgusted the people of Washington and the entire country. This and the traveling ex pense steal were his greatest triumphs. Congress passed the bill to declare the true Intent and meaning of the act entitled "an act In relation to testimo ny before the Interstate commerce commission," etc., so as "to extend Im munity only to a natural person who as a witness on the part of the govern ment in any proceeding authorized by any statute testifies on oath or In obe dience to a subpoena produces relevant evidence." This keeps the "natural persons" In the big thieving trusts out of jail. It Is a great positive triumph for Roosevelt. Now for his negative triumphs. He and his party defeated the bill to promote the safety of employees and travelers on railroads by limiting the hours of service of employees thereon. He and his party defeated the Till man bill designed to prohibit contribu tions by corporations to campaign cor ruption funds. This was a mighty tri umph over honesty and good govern ment. He and bis party defeated the eight hour bill, the child labor bill, the prison labor bill, the bill to modify the Philip pine tariff, the bill to reduce all tariff rates which exceed 100 per cent and all other tariff reform measures, the La Follette joint resolution to reserve all coal, oil and lignite deposits In the public domain for the use of the United States; the Tillman resolution for the Investigation of national banks In re spect to excessive loans to favored per sons, the Tillman resolution asking for Infqrmation from the comptroller of the currency respecting contributions by national banks to party campaign funds, the La Follette resolution for investigation of the relations between the railroads and the companies own ing the grain elevators In the north western states and the Joint resolution .! .;iuend the constitution of the Unit ed States so as to provide for the elec tion of United States senators by direct vote of the people. In sins of omission the record of the CiKscvelt congress Is greater only than . 1 3 In Bins of commission. Tlie Democrats won signal victories luring the recent session on three Im portant mensures. They forced the ad mission of Okluhoma nn Indian Ter ritory as a state into the Union, and ijey defeated the outrageous scheme at the Roosevelt gang to force Joint statehood upon New Mexico and Art Bona against the wishes of the people of either territory; they forced through congress the Tillmnn-Glllespic resolu tion for the investigation of the rela tions between the railroads and cor porations engaged In the production of coal and oil. The Democrats, with the aid of certain Republicans, also defeat ed the Santo Domingo treaty and sev eral other treaties negotiated by the administration which were calculated to Impair the "credit of the country abroad and overturn the constitution at home. If they had been In power they would have enacted almost every bill which the Republicans defeated and would have made those which congress actunlly passed comply with the de mands of the people. OPEN CONFESSION. Repnbllcuns Admit the Trusts Sell Cheaper Abroad Than Here. After much tribulation most of the Republican politicians of note admit that the trusts and combines sell cheaper abroad than here. The Iowa stand patters, such as Secretary Shaw and Congressman Hepburn, still per sist in claiming that the trusts sell as cheaply here as abroad, except occa sionally a job lot that It Is impossible to sell at home on account of being out of fashion or out of condition. Congressman Dalzell, however, has acknowledged that the trusts are sell ing their surplus products cheaper abroad than her and is rather boast ful of it. It need hardly be said he used to deny it as a Democratic fabri cation of the most ethereal kind. Senator Aldrich, the boss stand patter and stuffed prophet of the trusts, which "are the spirit of his political life," has also acknowledged the fact that the trusts sell cheaper abroad than here, for on June 2, speaking In the senate, he made this statement: "It Is a well known fact, about which there Is no dispute, that pro ducers in the United States and In every one of the great Industrial na- tlons sell portions of their products from time to time at a less price to people of other countries than to their regular customers at home." !t is hardly possible to expect Secre tary Shaw and Congressman Hepburn to change front on this issue. They have too lately made the most deter mined denials that their friends the trusts are so wicked. It can also hard ly be expected that the Republican spellbinders and many of the news paper organs of the G. O. P. will take back what they have learned and stated with the precision of a phono graph, and now, their mendacity being disclosed, they should be covered with shame and acknowledge the . Demo cratic contention has all along been the correct one. They will either have to admit they were wrong or still stick to deluding the plundered taxpayers who are pay ing 47 per cent higher on the average for all they buy thanfthey did before the present Republican tariff law was enacted and so much higher than the foreigner pays for the same articles. Is this a square deal for the American taxpayer and will he vote to continue It? CREATING NEW OFFICES. How the Republican Maohlne Pre Tldea For Ita Henchmen. The new senator from Kansas la In high favor with the Republican ma chine that runs the distribution of offi cial patronage In the senarc, as they view him as an addition to the "safe and sane" contingent of that body. Those safe and sane Republican pa triots did not, however, propose to re ward the newcomer at the expense of their own share of the political graft, so they Invented a new committee the committee on documents so that Senator Benson could employ a mes senger at $1,440 a year. The follow ing colloquy shows how easy It Is to re ward Republican virtue that Is trust and corporation Inclined: "How old Is the committee?" Inquir ed Senator Culberson. Without telling the committee's age or describing Its functions Senator Kean replied, somewhat evasively, but withal bluntly: It was created' for the benefit of the senator from Kansas, Mr. Benson." "What is the necessity for it?" per sisted Mr. Culberson. "The purpose was to place the sena tor from Kansas on a level with other majority senutors, all of whom have messengers," replied Senator Kean. If you are out of a Job and want a soft snap, with but little to do, ask ei ther of the Republican senators from your state to appoint you as messen ger. Don't be put off because they say there Is no vacancy, for the machine can create a new office at any time If so Inclined. Great Reformer.

Rural Delivery Routes. OnlJuly 2nd theie were 1,150 rural ueuvery routes m operation m North Carolina, an increase of 175 in twelve mouths. It will be a grati fying fact to know that only two routes have been discontinued dur ing that time. There are now total of 132 applications for new routes pending. The number of petitions for the establishment of routes received from Isorth Caro lina totals 2,327, of which 1,045 have been reported adversely There are more routes in operation in Mr. W. W. Kitchin's district than any other in the State. He has 185 routes, Mr. Small 96, Mr. Claude Kitchin 104, Mr. Thomas 99, Mr, Fou 10G, Mr. Patterson 102, Mr, Page 115, Mr. Blackburn 141, Mr Webb 125, Mr. Gudger 77. The number of routes turned down in Representative Blackburn's district is 220, being a larger number by far than in any other district. Republican Favor Corrupted Vote, The refusal of the republican house to pass the publicity bill which would have forced publica tion of the collection and distribu tion of campaign funds, shows once again that the republicans are in favor of corrupting the electorate to advance their interests. Publicity m this matter would be fatal, for it would show how "fat frying" is cained on, how big corporations aie made to staud and deliver to the party that maintains tariffs and passes laws for their benefit, and how money is stolen from the funds held in trust by "defeuders of the national honor" for widows and or phans and handed over to the G, O. P. to corrupt the ballot. Ihe sen ate passed this measure, but thE honorable Mr. Cannon, who meas ures everything by the dollar, re fused to allow it to come to a vote, thus plainly declaring that the republican party is bent on continu ing to buy elections.

There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive, many sudden deaths are caused by it heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure oi apoplexy are often tlie result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poison- ed blood will nt. tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidnevs themselves break down and waste awav cell bv cell.
