WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
Washington, Dee. 3. It is quite likely
that some ambitious statesman may try to
get the two Houses of Congress by the ears
during the closing session, which began at
noon Monday, by urging upon them the con
sideration of certain measures on which
party lines will be drawn, it is not believed
here now, however, that any such effort will
be long successful. The opinion is universal
that the last session of the Forty-eight Con
gress will result in very little else
than the passage of the routing Ap
propriation bills, providing money for
running the Government. A good deal of
private legislation will probably be wonted
off through the energy of members who will
not be lawmaker* after M area 4. The cal
endars of unfinished business, especially in
the House of Representatives, are heavily
loaded with bills of this class. There ur*
more than 1,000 measure* pending before the
House, over 200 of which came from the Sen
ate. Over 400 private bills arc on the HouM l
calendar, to say nothing of those still before
committees. Among the measures which t/.ie
Senate passed and which are before Die
House, are the Electoral Count bill, the
McPherson National Bank Bill, the Mexican
Pension Bill, the Lowell Bankruptcy Bill, the
Blair Educational Bill, ftiid the measure to
provide a building for the Congressional Li
brary. Some of these may be discussed, but
the prospect of final action upon them i* not
bright. Mr. Hill’s Postal Telegraph Bill is a
special order for December 8 in the Senate.
It will probubiy provoke too long a debate to
secure action upon it in the House, even if it
should get beyond the Senate. The scheme
has had some strong friends among the Sena
tors, but few have any confidence in its pus
»ago during this session.
In the present relations of the two parties
partisinn debates will bo indulged in on the
slightest provocation, and it is expected that
much valuable time will be wasted in this
way.
There to likely to tie quite as much discus
sion as usual over the regular appropi iatiuh
bills, for the money setapart will liedtobursed
under a Democratic Administration.
Most of the Congressmen talk bravely
about getting down to business, and keeping
it up without intermission until the close of
the session. They also tell, however, how
tired they are after the Presidential cam
paign and how much they need rest. This is
regarded as meaning that the usfial holiday
recess will not be shortened. There are
signs, too, that few members will overwork
themselves before January.
