We sell to the wholesale dealer he to the retail dealer and he to you.

It is a little awkward to guarantee our chimneys at three removes from you.

We'll give you this hint. Not one in a hundred breaks from heat there is almost no risk in guaranteeing them. Talk with your dealer about it. It would be a good advertisement for him. 'Pearl top'and'pearl glass,' •ur trade-marks—tough glass

THJE SENATE SALABY BILL.

Auditor and Treasurer of State amounted to from $10,000 to 020,000, and as a reform measure it was denounced as a fraud and a subterfuge. The majority report was then adopted. The salaries fjr the officers of thisoounty areas follows: Clerk, $2,GOO Auditor, $2,800 Recorder, 01,500 Treasurer, 02,250 Sheriff, 02,250. From these salaries the officers mu8t pay the necessary deputy hire. It ie very doubtful whether the Olerk, Audi tor and Sheriff in this county will receive enough to hire their deputies. It is needless to say that the bill as it passed the Senate is an outrageous fraud. The majority evidently were not sinoere in reporting euch a bill, and in passing it tl ey felt quite sure that it .. would be defeated in the House. For the time wasted on the fee and salary business this Legislature could have been engaged more profitably iu playing tiddledewinks. As was well said by the minority in ita report the bill as it passed the Senate is a fraud and a subterfugc. If the Democratic Senators think they can pull the wool over the people's eyes in tuis manner they will discover their error when it is too late.

THE

Senate salary bill was non'Con-

curred in by the House by a vote of 82 to 5. It was referred to a conference committee when a question, How not to do it, will receive due attention. There Beems to be an implied understanding that the Senate shall look after the interests ot the State officers and the House the county officers. It is the beliew now that the bill will fall between the two houses.

THE ROUND-UP.

WASHINGTON,

March 5.—The working1

or business feature was perhaps the most distinguishing- characteristic of the Fifty-first congress. Three measures, any of which in intrinsic importance and popular interest would be sufficient for a national issue, stand forth pre-eminent among all others. First, the MeKinley tariff bill, which became a law second, the silver bill, on which at the first session a compromise was offered, based on monthly purchases of 4,500,000 ounces of silver, which in turn was followed by a more radical measure that failed of passage and third, the federal elections bill, which, after a protracted, bitter and intensely exciting preliminary struggle, failed in the senate to reach a decisive vote on its merits.

Radical innovations in the rules of the house added interest to its proceedings and determined but fruitless efforts to adopt the most vital of these innovations formed a part of the history of the latter part of the sessions of the senate.

Even in its mortuary record the congress was remarkable, the call of death having summoned no fewer than twelve of its representatives and three of its senators. The list contains the names of Senators Beck, of Kentucky Wilson, of Maryland, and Hearst, of California and Representatives W. D. Kelley, Samuel J.

sylvania S. S. Cox, David Wilber and Newton J. Nutting, of New York Richard Townsend, of Illinois J. M. Burnes and James P. Walker, of Missouri^ James Laird, of Nebraska Edward J. Gray, of Louisiana, and James Phelan, of Tennessee.

The total appropriations for this congress will probably reach 51,000,000,000. A statement prepared by the clerk to the house committee on public buildings and grounds show that during the last congress 411 bills for the erection of public buildings were introduced, carrying- a total appropriation of 870,635,025. Of this number 93 passed both houses, appropriating $12,070,639, all of which became laws save four, which were vetoed by the president.

In the Fifty-tirst congress 14,033 bills were introduced in the house and 5,129 in the senate. In the Fiftieth congress 12,654 bills were introduced in the house and 4.000 in the senate. In the Fifty-first congress 297 joint resolutions, or 28 more than the number introduced in the Fiftieth, were introduced in the house. In the senate 169 joint resolutions, 24 more than in the Fiftieth, were introduced. In the Fiftieth congress President Cleveland vetoed 161 bills and joint resolutions, while in the Fifty-first President Harrison vetoed only 11. The bills that became laws during the congress just ended numbered 2,186. In the Fiftieth congress 1,824 were enacted. The number of bills, etc., introduced in the Fif-ty-first exceeded by 20 per cent, the number introduced in the Fiftieth congress.

Among the bills which have become laws ai#j these: The copyright bill the private land court bill the postal-subsidy bill the Indian depredations claim bill the timber and pre-emption law and repeal bill: the customs administrative bill a general land-fur future bill the bill to relieve the supreme court by the establishment of Intermediate courts of appeal the United States judges salaries bill. The world's fair bill the Wyoming and Idaho admission bills the anti-lottery and anti-trust bills the reapportionment bill the immigration bill the bill to ratify agreements with various Indian tribes and to pay the friendly Sioux $100,000 to reduce the fees of pension agents to pay the French spoliation claims the meat-inspection bill the bill to prevent the importation of adulterated food and drink the live-cattle and hog-in-epcction bill the bill appropriating 11,000,000 for the improvement of the Mississippi river to permit sorghum-sugar manufacturers to use alcohol without payment of tax to limit to 00 per cent, of tho rates charged private parties the rates the landgrant railroads shall charge for transportation of government troops and supplies to authorize tho construction ol a tunnel under tho waters of the bay of New York for the construction of a deep-water harbor on tho coast of Texas for the relief of settlers on tho Northorn Pacflc railroad Indemnity lands to permit the export of fermented liquors to a foreign country ithout the payment of a tax to apply tho proceeds of the sales of public lands and the receipts from certain land-grant railroads to the support of agricultural and industrial colleges.

The Blair educational bill, the bill for the appointment of" an alcoholicliquor commission and tho "eight-hour" claims bill are measures which were defeated on test votes while among those which, after passing one house failed of action in the other, are the bankruptcy bill, the Conger lard bill and the army reorganization bill. The Paddock pure-food bill, the Nicaragua canal bill, the Pacific railroad funding bill and the interstate commerce bill (to permit limited pooling of earnings by railroad companies) are among the measures whloh failed to reach a vote in either house.

The following are some of the senate

HC MAW OVUiC UX blic ocu I biJJs which failed to pass the house:

Mi Siiili jgJpSis

To provide for the free coinage oi save., larging the rights of homesteaders and preemptoM on the public lands reviving thegrado of lieutenant-general of the army for a boarding vessel at Chicago, and for the exploration and survey of the interior of Alaska.

The following house bills failed to pass the senate: To transfer the revetiuo marine service to the navy to authorize tho construction of a tunnel under the Detroit river at Detroit, Mich. for the relief of telegraph operators during the war.

Amomg the measures on which neither house acted (except in some cases by committees) were the subtreasury and farm-mortgage bills, the service-pension bill, the Canadian reciprocity resolution, the bill to encourage the construction of an intercontinental railway, the postal savings bank and postal telegraph bills, the Uutler bill to aid negroes to emigrate to Africa, woman suffrage and prohibition constitutional amendments, the income tax bill and various other radical financial, and political measures.

At 11:55 Speaker Reed rapped the house to order and spoke as follows: "After two long and stormy sessions, in some respects unparalleled iu our hundred years, the house of representatives of the Fifty-first con gress will soon pass with a completed record Into the history of the country, and its works will follow It. What we have done is in a large measure political. Whatever is political rouses tho sternest, the most turbulent, the most unforgiving passions of tho human race. Political action can never be justly viewed from a near standpoint. Time and distance are needed for a ripe judgment and the verdict of history is the only verdict worth recording. To state in language which would seem to me to be adequate the achievements of this house would not be suitable to this time or. to this place. Nor is it In thp loast needful that I should here and now rekindle old disputes or wave the dying embers of struggles past and gone. "Whethor we have disposed of questions of finance with the wisdom of broad statesmanship time will surely show. Whether In the things we have done and the things we have attempted for the furtherance of human liberty we were actuated by high and honorable motives will be visible to all tho world at no distant day. Our aotlons need no catalogue. and all enumeration and praise by ourselves would be in vala. If our doeds do not praise us our words can not. Conlident as I am of the vcrdlct of time on what we have done, I am still more confident the highest commendation will be given us in the future—not for what measures we have passed, valuable as they are, but because we have taken so long a stride In the direction of responsible government. Having demonstrated to the people that those who have been elected to do their will can do it, henceforth excuses will not be taken for performance, and government bv the people will be stronger in the land. "Toward those who have opposed what the majority of the house have desired we can hav no unkindly or personal feeling. Whoever offers battle to old convictions aud faiths must expeot battle, and the vigor of the resistance must always bear some proportion to the vigor ot the onset. To members on my left with whom I am politically associated I beg to tender my most sinoere and heartfelt acknowledgements. No man ever received more ungrudging and unflinching support or from a band of men more patriotic. I am proud to acknowledge in all that has been done that I have been but one in the multitude and that the honors of the Fifty-first congress belong to you alone-"

The speaker then declared congress med sine die. While waiting for an important resolution to arrive from the house the senate clock was turned back three scperate times. At last all was in readiness, and Vice President Morton arose and said: "I am admonished by the dial that the life of the Fifty-first congress Is ended and that the hour of separation and farewell has again arrived. The record is made up and has gone into history. No one of us can be unmindful, as we part, of the fact that all are not with us who answered to the tirst roll-call of this couvtress. Three members of this body, all taken from one side of the chamber, have answered the last summons and gone out forever from the haunts of men. They were well worthy of the love we bo'-o them, and will be cherished in tlie hearts of the people as able, honorable and patriotic public servants.

Without previous experience as a presiding officer I came with distrust to the discharge of the duty imposed by the constitution upon the vice president in his relation to. the senate—certain only of an unfaltering purpose to do right and of the patience and forbearance of this great body. I acknowledge with grateful sensibility the courtesy and kindness which, even iu critical and complicated situations, the members of the senate have been aocustoined to accord to me, and the honor conferred by the resolution just adopted in my absence from the chair. With the earnest hope that each member of this body may be blessed in every relation of life, 1 now declare that the constitutional period of the Fifty-tirst congress having been completed the senate stands adjourned without da\.
