Washington, March (I. The Fiftypixtli congress, which rounded out its life (ill Monday noun with the close of tin* firs I adininisi rai ion of Preside!-', McKinle.v. inherited nioreiniportant and interestinjj uulionai problems titan any congress which has been in session since recoiisirnct ion days. The 1'ii'tylifth congress was more spectacular, because ii was the war congress. In in this insiance. as in the case of a!i wars, ii was easier to st.arl trouljie tliau it lias heen to end it. The Fii't.yBixth congress has been, necessarily, an industrious body. Few eonnressi the history of the country have passed upon more important questions or have from lie (HiaiHi'.ive star.,! point at lasi made greater contributions to the sla.imos. Most of his legislation and the in-eatcr portion of lite debate, lias been related to Hie problems which have come nleni: with our insular pos-essiolts. The scheme el yovernme'i'i uiloptou for Hawaii is the only finished work of this character. Porto liico has been liiven an experimental organization. The'uban problem and tin- Philippine quest ion have, by resolution, been bequeathed to the president for the present at least.

A financial law si renirt heninu' the gold standard has been passed, the unity has been reorganized mi a basis of luO.OOO men, a congressional reupportiouinent. based on the tweltlh n-n-sus hits been made, tiie Indian lands in Oklahoma have been thrown open to free settlement, the J'.ulTalo arid St. Louis expositions have been sub: dized, appropriations aiiirre.^aii'e: a billion and a half dollars have been made, the war revenue law has been revised, effecting a decrease in taxation of $40,000,u00, hazinu at West Point has been investigated, polygamy was given a jolt, by the expulsion of Itrig'nani Uoberts, the Ilay-Pauncefote treaty wan amended by the senate, and important changes were made in the pension laws.

Four of the most important measures under discussion during the session, the Nicaraguan canal bill, the ship subsidy bill, the oleomargarine bill, and tlie Pacific cable bill, were permitted to dte, and will be among Hie first measures pushed to the front at the next session of congress.

Senator Fairbanks prepared a speech on the Kpooner resolution conferring temporary authority to govern the Philippines upon the president, bul wlili other Kepu'dican senators, refrained from speaking on account of the lack of time in which to consider this and other important measures in the closing hours ol' congress. Senator Fairbanks was prepared to point out, in reply to those who contend that tin granting of legislative power to the president is unprecedented. the fact that, congress in 1804 authorized President .Jefferson to appoint governor for the iAiitisiana Territory, who in connection with a commission of 12 men appointed by executive authority, was given power to enact and repeal laws and establish courts, and ttiat from his capital at Vincenncs, Governor William I-Ieury Harrison did exercise this authority.

One of the most interesting arid unusual features of the inaugural parade Wilts Mark Lulley of Arizona with his two bears. The trio divided lienors with the presidential party. Lulley is a Democrat, and says his bears arcalso followers of liryan and firm believers iu free silver. His presence in the parade was the result of a freak bet between William M. liooy of Muncie, who is collector of customs at Nogales, Arizona, and Mayor Tom Taggart of Indianapolis. The agreement was that, the backer oi the losing presidential candidate should pay the expenses of Lulley and his bears to Washington, and thai they should march in the parade, and that the bears should thereafter be turned over to the National Zoological garden. Lulley, in the garb of a cowboy, with broad sombrero and high-top boots, looked more strenuous than Vice President ltoosevelt himself. He captured the bears in the bauta Rita mountains when they were young cubs, and had them well trained for the occasion.

A visitor to Washington last week wns Mrs. Charles McQuiston and her mother, Mrs. Graham N. Fitch of Logansport, Indiana, widow of the former Indiana senator. Mrs. McQuiston Is the widow of one of the Indiana heroes of the Spanish American war, who took his own life during an attack of temporary insanity at Cavite Viejo, Luzon, Philippine Islands in September lasr. Captain McQuiston was born In Fort Wayne in 1S58, and was appointed to the military academy from Terre Haute. He was promoted to a captaincy on account of bravery at El Caney in July, 1

SOS. The regimen­

tal bulletin of his death, which wns recently received from Manila, says: "His admirable work in Cuba during the difficult days of the Spanish war .was not limited to gallantry in action, tad those who were with him will

never forget his constant labor there to secure suitable food and care for the sick while attending to his. other exacting duties. Me nexer exeeutcd a duly perfunctorily, but always threw his whole soul into it and.! with his weakened physical t.uulition.j duo to fever, his work here, civil and military, where the tield is so vast, brought about mental overthrow that resulted in the sad tragedy of his death." Captain McQuiston is the sec-! ond Indiana officer to lose his life in the Orient in this way. ltev. T. S. Freeman of Logansport. who went, through the battle of Manila as chaplain of the P.alfimore, threw himself overboard and was drowned at Xagasaki during an attack of insanity brought on bv the strain ol Dewey's great action.

I Senator Fairbanks perlormed a great service to newspapers ueiierally. and I particularly 1o the country newsp.-r pors. in beading off a provision of the

Loud postal codification bill which promised to add materially to the expense of newspaper postage. The bill, which was prepared by Mr. Loud, passed

1

lie house without attracting

much attention, under Hie innocent I guise of a .mere coditication of existing postal laws. One clause, however, provided that, each newspaper delivered at or from a free delivery office, should be subject to a charge of one cent for postage. This would not only form a considerable item of expense willi Hie newspaper publisher, but would be the source of no end of annoyance in compelling it separation of paper mail into two classes, one intended for free delivery offices, and one for smaller towns. The clause also did away with tin1 provision permitting newspapers to be mailed to points within the country free of postage. where distribution was from free delivery otlic-es. As the price of some weeklies is ."!• cents a year, the charge of rii cents a year for mailing would decrease the profits of publication, to say the least, and would lie a heavy burden on local papers which are in no small degree supported by receipts from subscriptions. Indiana newspaper men did not wake tip to the pres-j cnce of this clause in the hill until the measure had reached the senate. Senator Fairbanks' attention was called to the matter by the Indiana State Democratic Editorial association, and on

Feb. 0 Ik intioduccd an amendment striking out the offending clause, and served notice on the committee that he would object to the consideration of tne bill if this provision were not dispensed with. At so late a date in the session this meant death to the whole measure, and it has gone no further. Dispatches of some days ago gave credit to .Senator Mason for coming to the relief of the newspapers iu tliig matter, but your correspondent finds, on investigation, that the action of Senator Fairbanks antedated that of his Illinois colleague.

The loyalty of the lloosier to the state of his nativity is illustrated in the case of Mrs. McKee Dunn, now ol' this city, who litis been absent from the state for over 40 years, but is still proud to call herself an Indianian. She is the widow of General McKee Dunn, a former resident of Madison, who came to congress in 18,~.S, and later \vas appointed an otlieer in the pay corps of the regular army. Mrs. Dunn's son is also an officer in the pay corps of the army, now serving in Cuba. His wife is the daughter of Representative John Dalzell of Pittsburg. one of the leading members of the house. :,

The recent "discussion of the Vineennes University claim in ilie Indiana legislature gives interest to a petition presented by f.ue trustees of that! institution t:o the Tenth congress, setting out that the lands at that time! were unsalable and praying for a small tax for the support of the institution. The report upon this petition concludes "that ample provision having already been made for tiie maintenance of public schools and seminaries of learning in the district, of Vincenncs. the prayer of the trustees of the Umwrsity of Vincenncs is unreasonable, and ought not lie granted."

The exodus from Washington after the adjournment of congress is like the going out of the ice in the Wabash after a heavy freeze and a spring thaw. This year the strain on pas-j senger and sleeping car accommodations has been increased by the great] throng of inauguration visitors. Some of the members of the Indiana congressional colony have been waiting for the outgoing tide of traffic to subside before attempting to get away, but next week will find the representation reduced to Senators Beveridge and Fairbanks and the Hoosier employes of the u]yper branch of congress, which will continue to wrestle with executive nominations and kindred subjects for another week. The senators have also been wrestling with postoflice delegations, but as a division of territory has not yet been agreed upon, they have been able to turn all comers away with the information that they do not know who is to settle the trouble. Another question which has arisen is aa to which congressman shall control the appointment of postmasters in counties which have been switched from one district to another by the new apportionment. Of course the re-elected congressman will continue to represent the territory which lias been taken away from him for two years, and the rule is. unless the members reach another agreement, which it Is possible they may do. for the actual representative to remain the referee In matters of patronage.

The lirst measure to fall under the ax was the railroad

-(lusulida

waterworks cor­

poration, a separate parks corporation, and numerous other corporations all loading the people up with debt?

Up to hist week very few bills reached the governor's table, but members made the discovery that lie had been keeping very close track of affairs, had been reading the printed copies of the bills and making note of the changes made at various stages. He was usually pretty familiar with any measure ol importance long before it reached him otlicially in enrolled form —U U—

Tin- legislature coising next week is going down in history as chiclly famous for the things it refused to do. It may be doubted if any legislature in two decades has been beset with so many doubtful or even dangerous propositions as this one, but it has turned therw down right regularly at one stage or another) and such as succeeded in slipping through, found their fate in the governor's office. Bills carrying big special appropriations went flying through the senate at a great late early in the session, but the house regularly decapitated them all, except the Muncie norma! bill, which was permitted to die of inanition in the committee on education. Not confronted with any great popular demand for a reform of any kind, tne legislature has fciuid its chief duty to be the careful scrutiny of bills with'a view to holding fitst to whatthepeoplealreadyhave.

It is a mutter of common political gossip that the governor is setting his slakes for the United States senate, and that he and the senior senator have a sort of understanding that bodes no particular good to the future of Senator Beveridge. As this understanding is generally believed to stand, it is that: in case Senator Fairbanks sl all be nominated and elected to the presidency iu JD04, the governor is to succeed him in the senate. But if Mr. Fairbanks shall fail of nomination or election, he will continue in the senate, and combine forces with the governor to elect him as a successor to Senator Beveridge iu 1905. There may be no definite agreement to carry out these ends, but it is a combination so natural under the circumstances that its existence is given much credence. The two have long been warm personal friends, and both as a member of the state executive committee and the national committee Durbin was a most loyal supporter of Fairbanks. If the understanding really exists, it is a combination of two of the keenest politicians Indiana has ever produced, and the combined machine they could put together would be a mighty difficult. thing for anybody to resist. Political observers see strong evidences of the governor's ambition not merely in his efforts to bring all state appointments into Ids own hands, but also In the extremely close attention he Is paying to the will of the people in his action on legislative measures coming before him.

It is not merely in the matter of refusing to make special appropriation? that this legislature is making a record of economy, but in the general appropriation bill, on which it is working this week, the money allowed for state purposes amounts to a reduction of

something like $400.0im. When we come to consider the universal tendency toward increased public expenditures which we note in national, city and suite government, not only in America, but ahrond'as well, the continued spirit of economy in the state government of Indiana is as marvelous ns it is gratifying. Iu a decade that has noted an average advance of .'!0 per cent iu public expenditures in England. anil probably a greater one in the United States, in a decade that has seen ,.nr national appropriations advance from half a billion to threequarters of a billion a year, we find the aggregate appropriations of the Indiana legislature less this year than they were 1 years ago. notwithstanding an Increase

ion bill, far

and away lite most important measure of the session, a I'airly full explanation of which gave iu this letter lust week. It required a heap of moral courage tor hiiu to do it, tor many of his tiososi personal and political frit-ads were among the men mat have had most iu uo with getting- litis measure turough, and .sonic ot iheia are very bitter toward iu for spoiling ati their hard work. liut doubtless he hmis ample compensation in tiie very general '.•ouimein.iut.iou with which his action is meeting at Hie hands of the people. A not tier measure of very general importance knocked out by the governor was the bill permitting municipal corporations to issue bonds beyond the per cent limit, for school purposes. An enabling act lor this purpose had been passed for Indianapolis some years ago, and the supreme court held it valid on the ground that there were two separate corporations, a school corporation and a town corporal icti. Any other decision, altei the bonds had been sold and the money spent would have caused much confusion, and Unit was doubtless tin. main reason for this construction, but the decision has always been regarded as doubtful law, for if there can be si separate school corporation, what is to prevent a separate

per cent in the popula­

tion of the state and large increases in all classes of suite dependents.

Nome joker iu the Fast sprung tiie nnnit* of Samuel ii. Morss. editor of tin- Sentinel, as a possible nominee for president on the Uemocratic ticket. The mention was the occasion for a big. broad smile in Indianapolis, and probably Morss will laugh as heartily over i: as anybody when he returns from thp West. When the mailer was mentioned to a prominent Democratic politician from the southern part of the state he remarked "Morss is all right and a good fellow, but he won't do as a Democratic leader. No man car: live up to side-whiskers, as he tries to do. am! ^till be a simon-pure Democrat." o—

About Hie liveliest slruttgle there has been in *:ns session was over the Calumet ean.il bill. A lot of Lake county people wanted the bill to enable them to build a ship canal, but tin- railroads which would have had to build bridges over it, and some of the large landowners. who would have been heavily assessed for it, opposed it and finally defeated it iu the house, after if had passed the senate. Its promoters packed their grips and went home iu no pleasant frame of mind, declaring that Lake county would be iu the future just about the warmest spot for railroads this side of that other place, where both railroad attorneys and canal promoters expect to land eventually. —o —*o—

The house hist week saved Indianapolis from seeing Si. Clair park sold. The bill went through the senate with a whoop, and iu the discussion of it some of Hie senators had a few hardboiled words to say concerning the attitude of Indianapolis newspapers and the neat little habit they have of denouncing members as "grafters" etc. The truth is that this park and the blind asylum adjoining it ought 'o be purchased from the state by the city and the whole thrown into one goodly sized park. It is utterly unreasonable for Indianapolis to expect the state to hold this property as a park for the benefit, of the city. Certainly the state, as an organization, gets no good from it. and whenever it proposes to make any slate use oi it, a tremendous howl goes up from Indianapolis. —O*—"O—

Bills to increase the number of the judges of tin- appellate court to six members have passed both houses, and by a system of substitution one will come before the governor in a lewdays. ft wa.s generally rumored that Speaker Art.man would be appointed to tlit new judgeship, pending a general elecetiou. but: somebody lias been mean enough to dig up a provision of the constitution providing that no member of the legislature shall be eligible to an office created by that body, during his incumbency. This will shut the spt-ukei out of the coveted appointment

While the railroads got a considerable jolt iu the defeat of their consolidation hill by the governor, they have been very successful iu preventing inimical l.-gislation. Among the things they opposed was the Netil mileage bill, and it met an early death. Its purpose was to make fares, except for short distances, 2 cents a mile, without till the annoying red tape that now surrounds the use of a mileage book. The one matter on which they failed was the effort to kill the Brooks express bill, lifting the boycott on John Ii. Walsh's roiid by the express companies. However, the railroad attorneys were only nominally interested in this matter and left, the express companies to make their fight pretty much alone.

The report of the committee Investigating the Jeffersonville reformatory is unanimous and highly commendatory of superintendent. Ilert's work in bringing that institution to the front rank among the humane prisons of the country The Democratic members of both houses agreed to it as willingly as the Republicans. Indeed, the strongest commendation of Mr. Hert during ihe course of the investigation were by Messrs. Ellison and Eichhorn, both Democrats, the one an ex-member and the other a member of the reformatory board. The cry started by "Cy" Davis, the Democratic leader iu the house, partly from personal Jealousy and partly for political capital, has proven the flattest failure of the session.

The investigation of the Woman's Prison and Girls' Reformatory, however, has brought forth some instances of punishment .nat were remarkably severe, if not cruel, and has develo^d various other little points in the management that convince the committee that there should be a separation of these Institutions, a removal of both of them from the city, and that both should be placed under new managements.

We are so familiar with the story that it does not take hold oL' us as it should si we must come most, humbly and reiving upon the lloly Spirit to make it real to us. Let us always remember that Jesus was "Cod manifest in the flesh." the Creator of all things, the Ii deomiT of Israel, who brought all things into being by a word, who divided the lied sea and the Jordan and fed Israel with bread from heaven through all their wilderness journey.

Ahah tl Kings xi, It is written in tin* Psalms that they would treat the Messiah thus: "False witnesses are risen up against Me and such as breathe out cruelty." '"False witnesses did rise i'ti they laid to My charge things that I knew not" (Ps. xxvii, 12 xxxv, 11). This having heen His experience, we must think it strange if we as His disciples have the same, for lie said, "If the world hate yon, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If the.v have liersecitti (I me. they will also persecute i»u" '-oi.a xv, IS, L'0). It. is the fellowship of His sufferings. (il. "At the last came two false witnesses and said. This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of Cod and to build it in three days." Mark adds, "Neither did their witness agree together." What Jesus had said was that if men destroyed the temple of His body, He would raise it up again in three days (John ii. 10-1211. Either from this saying, or some other similar saying, some of the priests understood Him to say that He would rise from the dead the third day (Math, xxvii, (,'!, lil), If we are by others quoted as saying tilings we never said, nor intended to say. this also is fellowship with Ilitn.

"Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coining in the clouds of heaven."

When the false witnesses testified, He held His peace and answered nothing. It is very often the very best thing not to say a word—to he.1 as a deaf man who hears not, and as a dumb man unable to speak. When lie was reviled, lie reviled not again. When He sulTered, He threatened not. opened not His mouth (Ps. xxxviii, l.'i Isa. iiii, 7 I Pet. ii. --I. His grace is sufficient to enable us to do likewise. fid. a have heard his blasphemy.

But now, as He said, it was their hour and tlit! power of darkness. They had made up their minds to hill lliin, iind the time had come for Him to let them, for they could not take His life until He was willing (John x, 17, US). Professing to lie the people of Coil, they wen.- by word and deed the enemies of Cod. What shall we say of preachers today who teach that we cannot know in this lite whether our sins art! forgiven or not, that Jesus will never come again to fulfill prophecy, that Israel will never be a righteous people iu their own land given to Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, and that those who teach .these thing3 are presumptuous and false teachers? 07, 08. "Then did they spit in His face and buffeted Ilim." They blindfolded Hi in, they struck Ilim on the face, and the servants did strike Him with the palms of their hands. And He meekly bore it all that we might learn of Ilim to be meek and lowly and submissive even to the froward. When we consider that we should walk even as lie walked (I John il, 0), how far short we come of being what lie would like us to be! Wrhen we think of liovv little we arc willing to bear for His sake, and that people are expected to see Him iu us, we might well he discouraged did we not know that He is not discouraged with us, and that lie knoweth our frame and is touched with a feeling of our infirmities and pitieth us.
