L ke most other Congresses upon the eve of a Presidential election, this one ha left undisposed of some of tbe most impor tant bills which were lnjforc it. To ; deplore this would be simply a waste of : time. It has always been so ami will ; continue to be w , until the average Con- gressmau ceaes to be like tlie average man more intent upon looking out for his ow n interests than those of other peo ple. For once at least the House has shown itself to be in accoid with Pre-ident Cleveland. By a vote of 14!) to 4( the House sustained the President' veto of the general deficiency bill. This bill was vetoed because it contained an appropria tion of more than a million dollars to pay century-old French spoliation claims ami another ot nearly 8175.000 for a doubtful private claim. The House passed a new Senate and kept in b tbe Senate con ferees, and there are few members of the House - who are not glad the bill was vetoed. It is doubtlul whether one twentieth of these spoliaticn claims tire now in the hands of descendonts of the original claimants. They have leeu most ly bought up by speculators lor riducul ously small amounts. An appropriation to pay them was vetoed by President Fierce. Whether so intended o' not. Senator Morgan's warlike Cuban speech, which was so rabid that the Senate galleries were cleared and the speech finished in secret session, is lbeved by lots of peo pie to have been rather p'easing than otherwise to President CTcvelan I. Those Wh'. iUi l.-li UlKjro tt.nt President Cleveland intends doing some thing startling in connection with the relation of this government to the Cuban revolutionists between uow auel the meet ing of the Chicago convention. It appears that the Republican Senators took some such view of the Morgan spee.di, as Senators Sherman ami Lodge took a leading part in the shut-ting ot the Senate doors while the speech was being made. Notice that the fight for the distribution of the regular appropriation bills among tbe Senate committees, instead of having them all acted upon by the committee on appropriations, as at present, is to be renewed at the next session of Congress w as served by the introduction of a reso lution by Senator Proctor, of Vermont, providing for the change A New- York business man who has just returned from a trip through the great agricultural States, says the gran aries are literally bursting with farm products for which there is no local demand, and which transportation charges make it unprofitable to ship to distant markets. "It is not to be wondered at,'' he says, Wn the face of such conditions that the agricultural peo ple are in favor ol free silver. Tliey are disgusted viih tbe pre-eut status, and are willing to risk the silver cure." Eastern people who never get away from home seem surprised at the strength of tlie sil ver caus1, but if they would take a trip as far West as Omaha they would understand the reasons that are bdiind the movement.' Senator Warren, of Wyoming, is one of those who doesn't fancy the idea of trying to tell his constituents why Congress adjourned without acting upon numerous bills in which they are interested, and he stiteel on '.he floor ot the S u ate, wben the resolution for adjournment ws offered, that he would rather sit for weeks longer, u I even to lose, his vote in November, than undertake to explain to the people ol his state why tlie Senate could not remain iu sessiou'and di-noscof j ,il!s. in which they ami other Western ! people are interested. Mr. Warren wa- iu a minority a very small minority and he must make those explanations as iM -t. he may.
