The Inability of Congress te vassl;i3
which the country demands has become se
apparent as te bring many intelligent men
totheconelusionth.it the bedyisutteily
useless for the purposes et its creation. Ter
several years it has been impossible te se
cure, healthful and necessary changes in the
laws, while- Congress has been in a contin
uous wrangle ever the most inconsequen
tial matters, and has succeeded in doing
nothing except te pass bills for getting
money out of the treasury.
The sentiment of the country, as well as
justice, have long demanded a declaration
en the part et Congress of the forfeiture of
unearned land grants. Although the de
velopment of the evil was made manifest
three or four years age, and the demand
was at once made that this wrong should le
remedied, Congress lias done nothing.
Bills introduced into one branch te be re
ported favorably and passed, have failed te
sccure consideration in the ether house, and
as a result net a single acre of land has been
declared forfeited. And yet party plat
forms and public sentiment have demanded
as with one voice, that reform was necessary
in tills respect and that the lands should
be held for actual settlers.
The same is true in all fiscal matters.
The national bank system has been per
"mittcd te remain in a thoroughly unsatis
factory condition, in spite of a general sen
timent et friendliness and an urgent de
mand for a mere definite and better estab
lished basis for future operations. The
silver question has failed te receive any
consideration, se that the government has
geno en paying geed money for bullion and
piling up silver dollars in the vaults of the
treasury, when nothing was mere certain
than that they could net be utilized or
drawn into circulation. The trade dollar
is even a plainer case. A swindle en the
government and the people, it has been
absolutely impossible te secure any legisla
tion te redeem or withdraw it from circu
lation. Evils in the levy and collection of
revenue have geno uncorrected, under under
valuateon and smuggling being practiced
continually and openly. Still Congress has
dene nothing and is, te all appearances,
utteil oblivious te these simple business
questions.
On the ether hand Congress has mani
fested a readiness te waste the money of
the country and te indulge in bad or doubt
ful legislation. The pension legislation of
the past few years has been little better
than absolute swindling, while the river
and harbor bills have tee often been in
effect a conspiracy te take money
from the treasury. Public buildings
have been authorized when no demand
existed for them, in violation of recognized
business principles, while places f.ir mere
deserving of thorn have been entirely ne
glected and shut out in the leg-rolling
which generally controls this legislation.
Educational bills, appropriating immense,
sums of money, have been introduced and
have excited as much discussion as if they
were practical and constitutional. Last
but net least, tlme has been wasted en
buncombe resolutions of sympathy with
people, nations or individuals, whose busi
ness was no concern te the United States,
or it lias been deveted te weak and useless
culogiesof weak and useless statesmen who
have had the geed senw or misfortune te
die.
And yet net a senator or representative
has risen in his place te pretest plainly and
bluntly against this waste of time or the
recognized failure of Congress te de the
weik entrusted te it. It must always be
the case tint the re.d affairs et the country
are entrust "d te a few men. AVe have these
in both houses of Congress; but they fail
te de their weik. If a half dozen men
should btart out te take that leadership
which character and ability naturally con
fer upon them, and insist upon Congress
settling -iUeir te real, decisive, earnest
work.they would net only find general sup.
pert in tne country, but tliey would give
themselves a power which was formerly
exercised but has new fallen into desuetude.
They would net only establish thuir own
reputation as useful men, but they would
de something te make the Congress of the
United States ether than the reproach it
is becoming se rapidly.
The "Solders' Orphans."
The commonwealth of l'ennsjlvania last
jcar fjitiit $3T2,l-U.G2te educate the so se
called soldiers' orphans ; and since the lie
ginning of the system it has cost the state
S7,G32,37 1.70. The war has been ever "M1
nigh twenty years, ami children new in
these schools under sixteen years of age
could net have bem for years after the
war ended. There Is no obligation upon
the istate new te clothe, feed and educate a
"soldier's" orphan that is net equally press
ing with regard te every orphan within
the limits of the commonwealth. Every
preposition te continue or enlarge the pre
sent system bheald be steadfastly opposed
by nil upright and hi longheaded members
of the legislature.
It nprcara from a bill Intieduced by
Senater Cooper, that it is proposed te con-
tlnue the present system under the name
of " industrial schools" for all " neglected
and dependent" children under 10. This
is at irast mere frank and fair than the
feld'cra' orphans" pretext ; but it is ene
efdiibtful exiellency. It, is a sjiIeus
question whether the state should under
teke Mich am responsibility. If there are
te be children' homes every. here, had it
net better teleft tecicli county teestablbh
and control its own? The tendency te
get away from local M-lf-gevernnicnt nud
shoulder all 1 extensibility nnd power en
the federal and state gecrnnieul ought
not.'te le encouraged.
Insufficient Valuation.
In 1W4 the assessed valuation of prop
erty in lanca.ster, tuitble for clly pur
poses, was $12,7(H).W. Since the assess.
inent en which that valuation was based
was made, the nuinlier of building iermlts
issued from the mayor's ellire in the cars
following has liecn as shown by this table :

Tills total of 7IS does net. liowevrr. rep
resent the entire number of new buildings
erected in this period. Often a single per
mit embraces a block of buildings, and
sometimes the permit is doubtless forgot
ten. A total of 1,100 new buildings
many of them of the most substan
tial and costly character of improvements
would be a fair estimate of the additions
te real estate in this city within theja-'t
decade. Considering the average excel
lence of these structures, an advance of
$3,000,000 in the value of the real estate of
the city iu this period does net seem te le
an exaggeration ; and jet it is found that
the aggregate valuation of the assessors lias
in fact fallen off mere than half a million.
Of course there has leen some shrinkage of
real estate values in this time, but net
enough te impair the logic of the conclu
sion that our local svsteni of taxation is
suffering severely from inadequate and
unequal assessment .
The remedy is unfertunatelj just with
these who will net npph it. Assessors, as a
mle, knew en which side theii bread Is
buttered and liowte make political friends.
The present svstem is a bad one. There
should be a competent beard of capable
and impartial men te make, or at least te
revise the assessments for the entire citv .

Had learned something ulmtit " the nigger

n geed deal iu a tleetuig sort of wn.v and
jolteldown his impressions without malice,
anyhow. Mr. secretary of Mate Stenger
probably never knew- iiew Campbell happen
ed te hear him uuke u sncecli, nud what he
piiblished about it. This is a iiage from the
Jaiglisli traveler's journal :
" At the font of the incline at Altoenu there
are great ntilw.ir works; and an hour fur
ther we came te Huntingdon, a nice rural
town, wheru I stayed for the night. I found
that the bell was going for a Democratic '
litical meeting, and I went there. The pro
ceedings were ocned livu brass hand. It
seems that a iiiusie.il performance ei tliat
kind is an important vart of political demon
strations. Tlie people were very quiet and
orderly. I heard them saving. 'Tlie Demo
crats are going te have a geed meeting.
1 nere was 1101 se iniiuli iipinMruuee et iartv
reeling as there generally is w ith lis. The
people seemu I very uim-li like these of oue
of our country towns. I noticed one or two
negre Ihivs 111 the meeting. They seemed
quite at home, and no ene objected te their
presence. Tlie meeting was kept waiting a
considerable time, and seemed weudeifnllv
Iitient. At last tlie Honorable Stinger,
tlie inomljer for the district, entured, and was
moderately cheered. A resectible elderlv
gentleman was called te the chair, and there
was then a very formal nomination of vice
presidents and secretaries, but I could net
make out that these functionaries had nil'
tiling le de. The president inade n nice
little speech. Then the Honorable
Stinger eame forward nud ui.ule the speech
of the evening. 1 thought it real I v verv
geed and oHeeiivo viell-reasmied, lear, anil
even independent, it seemed te me. 1 think
he vi as a law or by profession.
lie thru went into state government ullnirs,
but I did net distevertli.it there Was any
burning questions oeept iorsemd ones, anil
n twin tliese Iiew as very bitter. He aivnsml

w ith the view te raise money for election ex-
IH-nsfs, Anether man followed, whom I did
think iiiiuh of he was mere of a muter. On
thowhelo I should say the speakers w ere
mere demonstrative than witli us, nnd the
people less se. There was no opposition,
and no 'heckling,' nor any vote nt the cud
uierolvajiplause and then everyone went
away."
I cannot help wondering who was tlie ether
man, who followed Stenger te such dis
advantage. What Campbell says about our Lineaster
county farms is also worth reprinting:
"Frem llarrisburg we passed through Lan
caster county. There thu cultivation is ery
geed indeed; tlie fields well enclosed anil
carefully w erked. I still notlce tlie abseuce
of roet-i-rops. I Uud tliat tills county lias
