The ."'.rl Congress pas-ed into Ins tory at ym Mon-Iiv. It iieiran on t!ie 7th I iy of August, ls'.''. i'H'l lets been in almost continuous ses sion ever Hiice. inuinreeseio,i it passed a mimlicr of very ini)or- tant niea-ures, but niucli more had been expected of it than it accom plished, and its incapacity to deal with banking, monetary and finan cial problems :tiiin;r out of (lie blunders of preceding Congresses excited imi verbal niortiiication. To its credit are the repeal of the panie-breediiur Sherman act, the repeal of the federal elections laws and a partial repeal and reform of tne odious Mckinley lan II act, ( Mher wnole-onie measures ot minor ! note are to be added to this list. Not a few jobs of great magnitude ---the Hawaiian scheme, for ox ample were wisely killed. In the domain of foreign all'airs the con servative policy of the administra tion was in the main accepted and j sustained, as against self-seeking1 schemes of jingo politicians. i Various reforms in the denart-: . 4l . .i i i incuts owe their origin loMii' mdus- try of the Fifty-third Congress, which did a great deal of hard work in the interest of administrative re form. Hampered by laws enacted during the Harrison administration, it was unable to cut down expendi ture to the extent desired, yet it has a fairly good record for econ omy. The deficit left by the ex travagant pension acts and impro- .. ....:! i...-: .i..: e i. 1 1 im,,u l u,il ',-'-'-"" 'i ueiMi (. ongress largely increased its em barrassments, but this situation aided the enforcement of a policy of retrenchment. Retrenchment was not however, in every case un dertaken with wise discernment, nor motived by regard for the pub lic interest. It cannoi be overlooked that the j financial panic, industrial dopres-1 sion, commercial stagnation and j widespread social discontent in the midst of which the Fifty-third Con gress began iis labors were in large part due to the legislative blunders of the Republicans in the thirty years oflheir control of the govern ment, and this fact caused the mi nority to resist "remedial measures. The Democrats had ah ample ma jority iii the House of members faithful to the principles the people had declared for in the landslide elections of ls:iii and s'X2, and in thedlouse the measures desired by the people were framed and passed with comfnendable zeal and promp titude. But in the Senate the situation anil result were wholly different. The nominal Democratic majority in that body at no time exceeded three, and there were always during the Fifty-third Congress more than three alleged Democratic Senators who were false to their part', or. if they had Democratic convictions, were ready to compromise them for personal advantage. These Sena tors, foreseeing the course tnev! would take, refused to aid in the reform of the Senate's rules of pro cedure, with a view to the enact ment of straight out Democratic measures. The country was disgusted with the protracted discussion in the Senate over the repeal of the Sher man act. It was further scandalized by the protectionist mutilation of the "Wilson tarilf act and the evident signs of subservience to the Sugar Trust and oilier beneficiaries of high tariif rates. The country expressed iN feeling; on these mailers in the enormous stay-at-home vote of Democrats on November (?, 1 ;-, and the sweeping Republican victor ies of that date. The incompetency and perversity of the majority of the Senate lias been the great fact in the life of the Fifty-third Con gress and to it is due that so many necessary measures failed to be come laws. The short session, which began on the ."d day of last December, and ended Monday, was marged bv absolute non-action on the one ijiiestion which, for months has been uppermost in the public mindf Despite the appeals of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, all efforts to secure financial legis lation proved to be failures, and with the exception of the appro priation bills the record of I he short session is a negative one. Now that the Fifty-third Congress is a thing of the past, the country breathes easier. Tin: Durham Daily Sun has en tered upon its seventh volume. It is a most excellent paper and de-;-crvos success.

Our town came near having a ren etition of the recent Kinston calami ty, on Monday afternoon. Some persons set fire to a pile of trash in the rear of the drug store of J. R. Smith, and carelessly left the fire. Mr. Smith happened to find it just as it was catching his stables. A few minutes more of delay, and the principal business portion of our town would have been at the mercv of the flames. The excessive care lessness of some people needs a se vere lesson, lt we hope it may not come at the expense of our business men who are careful. This town should make some provisions against fire, at least by appointing fire com missioners and seeing that they do their duty. A severe rheumatic pain in the left shoulder had troubled Mr. ,. H.
