It went . out without; a sin fie sigh ot regret from any man io the p country with the exception of a few Jnho failed of reflection. It has done many things that will c still ' stronger ..fasten the shackles of taxation on he willing wrists of the people, it has been shamefully extravagant with the .memory of the people, it has failed to keep any of its promises in its plat; fctftos, it fairly reeks wiA rotteDness, bypotrlsy, false pretense ' and . broken pledges. It has done only one thing that commends itself to the people, and that was the killing of the ship , subsidy" steal; and that result - never ' would have been accomplished bad it not been for the most earnest and strenuous opposition of the united democracy. The people of the coun try may thank the democrats of Con gress for saving them ninety millions of dollars a year that otherwise would have gone into the pockets of a few ship builders and ship owners such as J. Pierponf Morgan and others. The ' d:ath of the 57th Congress is a rid dance of bad rubbish. Thb. Legislature adjourned last Monday, and by Tuesday nearly all of the members had probably reached their homes. What it did or bailed to do has passed into history. In future issues we will take occasion to refer to some of the acts passed. SO CALLED AATI'TSUST LAW. The republican so called an ti-trust law just passed by the Congress, and which gives so the new Department of Commerce and Labor the power to in veaagat and gather iaiarmttiot) about certain great . corporatisws ot trusts, and to '-report such data to the - President, is a meaningless and harm less one so far as : the trusts are con cerned. Here u the law in a nutshell and you can draw ' your own conclu sions, as it is a combination of "ks"; If, the) Secretary of this new depart ment is so inclined he may fish for facts io regard to trusts: If, the chief of the bureau of cor porations in this new department 's not owned by the trusBTTaad If he capable, and if he has competent and honest assistants and if they fish in the right place, they may obtain valuable data; If, when valuable data is obtained, the President wishes, he may have access to it; If, then, the President has time to read it and sees fit to do so, he may snake' public some or all of this data; or, If be thinks best, he may simply make ''recommendations to Congress for legislation" to regulate trusts; If, then, Congress is not controlled by the allied trusts, it may, io the course of time, pass new legislation to curb trusts; If, then, the AttorneyGeneral is so inclined, and. if he has time, be may ap ply the new legislation to the offending trusts; If, then, the evidence is sufficient, the courts may, in years to come, de cide that the new legislation is con ititutional, and that some particular trust has been guilty of illegal prac tice If, then, the trust has not already changed its form or ceased to exist, it may pay a nominal fine, and, in the course of eight or ten years as did the Standard Oil Trust slightly change its name and location and continue its business of plundering the wneaone reads this program of "ifa," fte only word he thiaks of KatsMl TH SCAB OF TBB WISE POTATO.

From Oar Seirular Corresyondsnt. .at " . . - Mach9Thioj:; The Fifty-seventh Congress, after expending $ 1,554,1075 14, has ex pirtd. The Senate of the Fifiy-eighrh Congress, pursuant to the call of the President, has 'comveoed ' in special session, but no business session of the new Senate " has been bt Id, aside fromnthe one on the 5th when only the organization was - perfected, but the body will meet at noon to-day. There was the most sincere regret ex pressed on both sides of the chamber at the retirement of Senator Vest who has served with brilliancy for so many years. Proportionate pleasure was, however, felt by the democrats at the return of Arthur Pen Gorman of Maryland. Soon after the reorgani ration of the ' Senate the democrats held a caucus and elected Senator G jrman chairman, thus restoring him to his old place as leader of the party in me senate, no policy nas vet been adopted with regard to the pending treaties, that remaining for the deter mination of the democratic sterring committee The republican steering committee has held a meeting at which it was de ter mined to press the Panama -canal treaty first. Tbis cource is adoDted I with the hope of tiriag t Senator Morgan who persists in his opposition to the treaty a6 negotiated. Senator r Gorman has beeo credited with oddo- siiion 10 ootn treaties by certain news papers but when seen by your corres pondent Mr. Gorman said, "There is no gronnd for the statements that have been published with regard to my atti ......... ..... . . r . tude towards the treaties. I have never seen the Colombian treaty and certainly would not form an opinion regarding it until I had studied its provisions. If Senator Morgan's claims are correct of coarse I would oppose It, but I must study it for my sell before I can pass jadgment. When 1 was in the Senate before, I did favor the Nicaraguan route and I presume on that fact is based the assumption that I will oppose the present arrange ment. I have given no studv' to the Cuban treaty and will do so before f express an opinion in regard to its provions although I am willini- to admit that from a sooerficial tm I am inclined to favor it." It is generallv anticirtated -that leadership of Mr. Gorman will prove more aggressive and progressive than that of Senator-Jones who has just, re tired. Mr. Tones Dosition ha m th main, been one of passive resistance and no brilliant policies hive beeo conceived or executed under bis guid ance. Senator Gorman is counting on consideration assistance from Sena tor Stone of Missour, who also favors a vigorous policy. While Senator Carmack was elected secretary of the caucus, it is expected that Mr. Stone will be the real coadjutor of the Sena tor from Maryland when active opera tioflf in the Senate are begun. There is geniune anxiety td the Pan ama conai treaty. It is feared that me old gentleman he is 79 yeas old will permit bis mental vigor to over strain n physical strength in his tnort to defeat the purpose of the Senate, Night sessions will not be held immeotateiy, it being the present pur pose 01 the republicans to tire out the venerable Alabaman with a continued series of four or five hour sessions, at -""-" uucw uia colleagues- come to ms rescue, ne win be compelled speak continuously.

" v A : TBI? TO : iARUSUTOJ, KL1 '-'Vtv-.TCCKi .' ' .V DxiB Exrrbft i As " I' thought , it would be interesting to some'ol "your Ueaders I will write something of the coal mines in Earlington, Ky. v , . There are several mines in 'which a thousand or more men are employed. I took a trip down, . in: one bt thcar mines which was under; the' manage, ment of one Mrl- Evans, who took me through it and showed foe how , thej olasted and prepared the coal for ship ping. '. They fijst nse machine t, work under the . great balk of .coal, then drill holes with machinery le bits . it down, then they have little " troll cars that are drawn by , males, to" an elevator, where It fs ' taken . out- and these same little cat, some, thirty .ot forty in number,' are drawn by a loco motive to where they are dumped into a large car ready for shipment. These mines are known as the St. Bernard coal company; and T had the pleasurv of meeting the- Piestdeot of this com pany, John B. Atkinson, who seemed to be A gentleman of many fine qutti ties. I noticed be spoke well of all bis employees, in fact I think be u an all-rouod man. ' I also met with one of the leading merchants of Earlington, Mr. Ed. Mc Leod, whose heart seemed to be a large as some of the great mine. A Mr. W, L. Rice, who I also met is a partner with J R. Dean who cuts the meats for Earliogton'e great masses. There ate other leading mto of the city too numerous to mention who en tertamad us, among whom was Etmer Witherspoon, an Electrician "V. Q. Walker, a railroader, Editor Faoceu, of the Earlington Bee and W. F. Barr the mayor, who seemed to be a jolly old fellow. Earlington has a fine bank with men of fin: qualities as its' Csjhierv They are Messrs. Jessie and Willie Phillippa. I was also highly impressed with the iadtes of Earlington, Misses Dean and many otnert or the U11 sex Up until the evening before I left the weather was so wrm that overCou and overshoes were oppressive, and the next morning it was to cold thit yoai ears were unsafe unless protected, and everything available was frutro cnltf tnd stiff. It is said that iron ii bard ened by heating and'coolin; and from this sort of weather it may be accounted that the mountaineers often seem -to be such tough and hardened specimens of humanity. Eirlington is io a kind of basis, be. iog oot very far from the moaatatoa wtnch rise to' a great height all around it, while it is itself upon a very high promontory. - It Is eite a trad cen tre and all the products of the country uoa market tbete. Many things I found there were really higher than at Louisburg, the reason of this beieg that they ship to Northern markets and the close competition gives the farmer the benefit of good prices. Eirlington has many nice -Churches. all have good pastors and the people seem to be devoted christians. The only regret I had was that 1 coold not spend many days around their fire sides -and enfov. their hoHoitaliiiea. I am not' surprised ; that they ,hurry home so early when away as they have some of the best women far their wires ana their presence to their home b always a ray of sunshine and pleasure.
