' The historic Fifty-fifth Congress has come to. an end, having accomplished all , that It could accomplish under extraordinary circumstances. It Is a pleasure to note that, after its remarkable career as a war Congress, during which it was . called to meet rare emergencies and settle momentous questions, and to legislate upon mattdrs which brought on hitter debates and widely different views upon matters of policy, the closing hours witnessed a dramatic occasion, in which politics were laid aside, and a.patriotic demonstration such as has rarely occurred In the capitol building,1 was substituted. The Democratic leader, Mr. 13alley, of Texas, offered a resolution paying a graceful and eloquent tribute to Speaker Reed, who responded in a similar spirit, and the scene, characterized by good feeling and patriotic impulse, was unparalleled as the gavel fell and the house adjourned without delay. In the senate, the scene was similar, though less demonstrative. Of the work of the Congress, it is well known by the public, and the record has already been reviewed. Aside from war matters, the legislation has covered a wide field, and the record has maintained the confidence and increased the prosperity of the country. The great progress of our country, the financial credit,' our splendid balance in foreign trade and our relations with the great commercial countries of the world, are largeiy^-que to mc iacf tnat tnere was no unfavorable legislation. The restoration of our tariff policy which had been reverse'd under" the previous administration, the relief in financial circles caused by a cessation of the agitation for cheap money, the support of the administration in the emergency that arose before the war?the promptness with which every demand was met, the unswerving loyalty of the majority, are all to the credit of the Fifty-fifth Congress. Currency reform was necessarily interfered with by a continued tendency for free silver in the senate, but the result of the elections of last November so completely changed this situation, that there is little doubt that the new Congress' will be able to 'accomplish what has been so long delayed but which will be done in a final redemption of the pledges of the party. There are responsibilities for the new Congress no less Important than those of the one Just closed, aside from financial legislation. A problem Is to be solved which affects the future policy of the country regarding the territory that has come Into the control of the United States. By the time the Congress meets, the situatfon will be clearer and more definite. Let us hope that wisdom, conscience, humanity, patriotism ana tne interests of American civilization may prevail, and that everything shall be done In accord with American professions. The Nntlon is growing greater every year, greater comerclally, industrially, in population and lniluence. It Is a time when the wisest statesmunshlp combined with practical business sense can accomplish great results. An Evasive Comment. In commenting on an editorial In the Intelligencer concerning Governor Atkinson's express company tax veto, Saturday's Register garbled a paragraph In which one of the minor rensons for the veto was given, based upon the idea that the shippers by express might have to bear the burden of the tax, and replies to the point by saying It Is "silly and asinine." Thus the Register Hatters Itself that It has completely crushed the governor's messnge. The main feature of the statement of the governor, the one which he dwelt upon most extensively, was the showing that certain provisions of the bill were unconstitutional according to decisions of the United States supreme court, composed possibly of quite as able legal minds as the one possessed by -the editorial wmur oi me ucgister, who only refers to them, not by doing the governor credit of having cited them, but by the following profound remark: "Ay to the governor's claim that the bill was not constitutional, while not prepared at present to discuss the merits of this phase of the question, the Heglster feels nulte as safe on that point in trusting the lawyers who drafted the bill, and whose scrutiny It passed In both branches of the legislature, as Gov. George "NV. Atkinson, who has yet to win laurels as a constltulonal lawyer." Tills Is a neat way to get out of telling the truth, and to misrepresent the case. Governor Atkinson did not quote himself, hut* cited several decisions of /the United States supreme court, com posed of lawyers who possibly will fa- J vorably compare In point of ability with 1 some of the able gentlemen In the legls- i lature. In the case of exactly' similar s features In the vetoed bill, passed by other states, the supreme court of this country decided they were unconstitu- ' tlonai and void, and in violation of the 1 Inter-state commerce law, because they ' woutd interfere with lnter-state trafllc. Now, If the Register will be broad 1 and fair enough to take these decisions ' of the national supreme Judicial author- 1 Ity, compare the questions decided with the particular features of the West#Vlrglnla bill refered to, and show wherein the supreme court was wrong, Instead of evading these features of the veto, and catching at straws, and making unsupported assertions, It will possibly : place Itself In a more creditable light. ] The decisions are cited by the gov- : ernor. The bill was not a party measure nor i was the veto. The act was supported i and voted for without regard, to party i lines, and It was altogether a business 1 measure. The trouble was not with the principle of Justly taxing such corpora- 1 Hons, but with putting Into the act pro- ] visions that would obstruct lnter-state } trafllc, and be In direct violation of de- 1 clsions already made In connection with that law and the national constitution. , Why not be frank enough to give read- i ers the opportunity to read something < more than garbled extracts, and lay < aside prejudice long enough to discuss i a business proposition which has not : party politics in it? One way to get a : proper tax measure on the statute J dooks ia to snow the good and bad , points of the measure, and not to abuse 1 the executive who gave his authorities 1 for his reasons for objecting to bad j points. ? 1 Captain Crawford's Death. i The announcement made this morning of the death of Captain 'Richard Crawford, of this city, at Burlington, Iowa, yesterday morning, at the advanced age of ninety-one years, will be I received with feelings of the deepest re- ' gret among his many friends in this , and other communities, where the < greater part of his long life has been spent. Next to the late John K. Botsford, Captain Crawford was Wheeling's oldest citizen, and no man was more re- 1 spected and esteemed than he. It was 1 by the older citizens that he was best ' known, but among the younger generations there are many who delighted in ' his companionship. In his last days his ' mind and memory were as clear and 1 vigorous as those of many a man upon whose shoulders the weight of fewer years is resting. He will be missed sadly by the surviving friends of long years, who held him so high in their j estimation, and honored him for his real worth. In connection with the death of Cap- 1 tain Crawford, it Is recalled, doubtless, j by many, that he was the father-in-law ] of the late Archibald W. Campbell, and that they, were the closest of friends. ; Mr. Campbell had just returned last ! month to St. Louis from Captain Craw- t ford's bedside, at Burlington, Iowa, wnere ne lay ill, when he himself was stricken down by the hand of death, but , not before Mr. Campbell had sent word 1 of his aged friend's serious condition. J That these two friends should have been j taken away so closely together, and so j near to the time of the departure of i Mr. Botsford, one of their devoted ' friends, is peculiarly sad and touching. Captain Crawford's long, useful and exemplary life, like those of other aged ' pioneers of Wheeling, will leave Its Impress upon the community, and his memory and theirs will be always honored. i The President on March Fourth. 1 The second year of President McKlnley's term expired at noon Saturday, j The two years Just closed have been the most notable In the matter of historic ; interest and Importance of any period ' in our history In the past thl/ty-flve years, and has been fraught with events 1 which will have a distinct and lasting ] bearing upon our future as a Nation. ( No President has had greater responsibilities to face, nor has one borne the burden of the tasks Imposed upon him more bravely, more wisely and conscl- ( cntiously, nor retained the personal confidence of the country and the es teem of his follow men better than has this Executive. In the two years more of his term the President will have other weighty responsibilities upon him, and the same courage arid wisdom which have stood him in such stead will be manifested. The end of the first term of President McIClnley vlfi* find him worthy of the tributes which the appreciative people of the United States pay to their Executives who have steered the ship of state through the storms of the past, and who have faithfully stood at the wheel In war and peace. History will do him justice, as It has done Justice to others. Cassias 31. Clay. The sad mental condition of the venerable, Casslus M. Clay, due to alL the troubles he has endured since he married a child-wife, has culminated in an 1 apparent complete loss of his mind. This once brilliant Kentucklan, who figured so prominently In ante-bellum days, as one of those who took a leading part In the Union cause, and rendered the country such conspicuous service, has become surh a mental wreck that he appeals to Congress to send a committee to his home to save him from dying blind and alone in his own castle. Ho charges that the "vendetta" who have deprived him of his liberty and his child-wife, have deprived them of "life, liberty nnd the pursuit of happiness, vU olatlng all national and state laws." 1 It Is but the natural result of the ' marriage of an old man to a mere child, \ against the protests of his friends and 1 hers, and while much of his grievance ' 1h Just, the sadness of It nil la that his J ill-advised action has so wrecked his I life in its declining years, and brought ' so good a man?one no highly esteemed, and whose career was one of honor?to such u pass. In such a case the sympathy and regret of his old friends and associates can do little good, but will go. out to him Just as sincerely. Sunday was a typical March day, with its strong, penetrating winds, snow and clouds, and some sunshine us a relief. It was not, however, as severe as It might tyivc been, and no It may be be 'on* the leonine month passes away. We iaye the equinoctial period to pass through yet, and. then the dawn ol iprlng, all within a month.

HIS YEARS OK SUFFERING. rhc Awful Effect Produced on a Prisoner's Countcnuecc* The "Egyptian Courier" quotes <he following from a shortly forthcomlns book by the ex-consular agent Cuzzl, relating: his experience during fifteen pears' Imprisonment In the Soudan: "During my fifteen years' Imprisonment I never saw a mirror, and graduilly all interest In my personal appearance faded completely away. When it became sure that an expedition was on Its wny to Omdurman I began to-live again.' "When at last the cannon be?an to thunder and the wild cries ol :he battle penetrated the city I held my sword ready, determined, should this last hope be destroyed, to put an end <c my life. When finally the noise of the ?niwon cpnsed nnd the victor Kitchener stood before me. congratulating me on my release, I thought I should suffocate with emotion. "The next day I made my toilet In an ifilcer's.ienr, and held In my hand the Irst looking-glass I had seen for fifteen rears. I looked curiously at my refiectiqn In It, and started back. I had ?one out Into the world a young, active, strong man, and the Image which nbw *tar<>fl nf mn u-ta thnt nf n hnl. loweyed, wrinkled, broken man. Never did nil that I hud suffered enter my mind with such strength as at this momqjit, and I wept, wept like a child, the [\r*t tears in fifteen years." "The day after I was made a prisoner I saw my wife die, but my grief was tbo great for the relief of tears; my bhlld was -torn from me and died ol starvation far away, and I could nol iveop; I suffered deprivations nnd 111treatment without a sign of weakness; but now, before this small looking-glass [ was overwhelmed. The pain of all thai I had lost seemed concentrated In the mirror. . At one glance I saw the story )f my {sufferings." "Washington's "Terrible Turk" Washlngtpn Dispatch to St. Louis GlobS-.'Democrat: The new Turkisli minister is a terror to "Washington society. He is one of those foreigners who come to America lull of curiosity concerning this people, and with nc hesitation about exercising it. Usually the American ladles of Washington arc willing to satisfy this curiosity, and car hold their own against the questioning But this new Turk Is altogether unspeakable In a social sense. He attended an official function a few evenings since and was Introduced to a lad& In full reception dress, a little fullei than usual, perhaps. The Turk exchanged the ordinary commonplaces, LUi nc luina cue uuisuiisu ?jl hic wuuiitry to which he Is accredited. Gradually tils attention became riveted upon the lady's costume In such a manner thai she was embarrassed, and raised hen fan in front of her. At length the minister. In his earnest way, pointing tc the low cut of the bodice, asked: "Madame, does your husband permll this without protest?" The lady colored furiously and replied that her husband found no fault with iier taste. The minister shook his head .n a deprecating way, and began to tell low different It was in his country. The ady made her cscape as quickly as possible. Not many evenings afterward the minister was at another official reception, He was presented to a well-known society woman, and began: "Are you married?" The lady answered In the affirmative ivith a smile. "May I ask how long you have been married?" The lady said that she had enterec the state of matrimony some ten years igo. "How many children have you?" was the next question. The lady replied, with a slight manifestation of embarrassment, that she ia<J none. The minister stopped to think Tor n full half minute, and, with a puzzled ook, resumed: "In my country " The lady fled, and what the mlnlstei ivas going to say will never be known, But no member of Washlnpton society iv111 now.risk an introduction to the tarpIWa Tnrl- if ?? r, Unrenlf "Winter In Fnrwuytown.

The Splendid Equipped Mechanical Hall Co pletely Destroyed?A. Serious Loss Special Dispatch to tho Intelligencer. MORGANTOWN, W. Va., March 5, Early yesterday morning the dcpai West Virginia* university sustained serious and, in many respects, an in parable loss in the destruction of t ! splendidly equipped mechanical-hall j fire. The building, machinery and fi t models, which Prof. Aldrlch and Pr Emory have been years in collect!! j are a total loss. In addition, Prof. J drich lost many valuable books a j models, "which cannot be replaced 1 ; less than $2,000. Prof. Jones, asslsta to Prof. Aldrich, also lost $500 worth books and models. The cost of t property to the university was abc $45,000, but it is thought it cannot \ replaced for less than $60,000, as mu . of the machinery was donated by ma ufacturers who wished to introduce ' and a good portion was secured at c( ? as a compliment to Profs. Aldrlch a . Emory by the manufacturers. T building itself cost $12,000. The pre 1 erty was insured for $28,000. The, lire was preceded by an exp > slon which alarmed some residents ne the building. They at once discover 1 the Are and made it known to the mei bers of the fire department. The bull . ing was at least 1,000 feet from a wal plug, and the department was in< fective because of this. Then, too, t ; report was circulated that the bulldl < was filled with explosives and the fli men beat a hasty retreat, so that t immense crowd collected watched, t consumption of the property in silen from a safe distance.

Prof. Aldrich li on the night train for the east to i > range plans for it. Mr. Sturglss sn that the Insurance would be avallal to put up a building, and that some the annual income from the Mori I fund can be used to begin upon t i accumulation of machinery and appa t atus.
