The country i3 about to witness another flagrant instance of the in jury which results from the dilatory action of legislative bodies. Half of the present session of congress has passed withut any decisive action beiDg taken by the senate on any of the really important matters with which it will be called upon to deal Six weeks have been spent m virtu ally nothing so far as regards the matters upon which legislation is expected aud demanded, while about seven weeks hmce congress expires by local limitation. All matters be fore either baruch at the end of that time die, and can not be brought forward in any shape again until the close of the year uniessa special ses siou is called. Among the measures which the senate is expected to pass are the regular appropriation IIUIS. of the government. To dispose of these in the liuie remaining two of them would have to be acted on each week. Probably most of them will be passed in such haste that ade quate examination of them will not be possible. The closing days of congress which are always fill.l th work of this sort, are the harvest time for the joboers aud lobbyists. Although the senate is here singled out for reproof, the house is not ex actly blameless 1 1 i,;.. Nor does the shift- lesihess with which each of these bodies is chargeable make its ap peair.nce now for the first time iu cougress. Each branch of uearly every one of our national legislatures which has met since the close of the reconstruction period Las been fairly R R DEAG0N, THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE JS I I AND open to accusation. In some in stances the fault has been due to the time consumed iu considering measures which the people nave openly and formally condemned. This is the case now so far as re gards the senate In the vast nia- rity of instances, however, the blame has been due to the presenta- ion of measures which meet no great public tteinand, aud iu which only a few persons have any practi cal interest. These bills clog the calendar and prevent action iu mat ters in which the people have deep concern. Then. too. weeks and months are flittered away aimlessly at the beginning of each congress, on the theory that the session may be stretched out long enough to allow everything of importance to be dis posed of. Failing in this latter en deavor, a frantic attempt to "pnll up" is made iu the last few weeks of the short session. Thus it is that the patience of the people is severe ly and needlessly taxed every year, their will often ignored or disregard ed, aud useless or vicious provisions in the money bills of the government steal through to enactment unnotic ed.

She then retired to her chamber, taking the children with her, with the intention of neve waking again. All are now expected to die at any moment. The cause attributed for the rash act is jealousy.

The most exciting discussion of the session took place to-day iu the house upon a resolution introduced by Dr. Neely of Leavenworth, the leader of the democrats, denouncing the Force bill, and ur''iur the Kansas d eie:a- t w . tion to use all means to deieat it. The resolution was as follows: Whereas, The peaceful revolution of last November expressed a de-; . . , 1 , . 1 maud of the electors or their repre- j A , , , ; ,,' sentatives in congress that tuey shall i 0 -' ' in the future legislate iu the inter est of the masses as against a class, 25,000 whom have appropriated one half of the wealth of the country; therefore, Resolved, That we request our senators aud representatives 111 con gress to exercise their influence to accomplish the defeat of the sa called "Force bill," a measure calcu lated to forment sectional strife aud disturb that peace and tranquility which is absolutely necessary to en courage the development of the exhaustless resources and corelative greatness of the west aud south. We condemn the enactment of any law that is calculated to continue iu force the unequal and unjust eco nomic legislation which now dis- j graces the statutes of the govern ment. The New York Tribuue, a leading authority on protection leg islation boldly proclaims that there are a dozen McKinley bills in the said force bill, and whereas one such bill has brought us face to face with commercial ruin, we hereby demand its repeal and the enactment of equal and just tariff legislation having due regard for the necessities of all the people and a proper respect for the great agricultural interests of the west. Be it Resolved, We call upon the con gress of this nation for the enact ment of laws authorizing the free and unlimited coinage of silver and the enlargement of the volume of currency issued by the government sufficient to properly accommodate the already great and growing neces sities of the people. Leading Alliance members sup ported the resolution. Brown of Harvey, and other republican mem bers denounced the force bill.

Fire!-' Two men were stand ing straight and motionless when the word was given.revolvers in hand. When the smoke cleared away one lay dead with a bullet through his brain. The other was writhing in pain from a perhaps fatal wound. Two cowboys at a ranch some miles dis tant from this place Lad become in volved iu a quarrel that only blood could settle. It was decided to fight a duel according to the code. Sec onds were selected, revolvers agreed upon as the weapons, 15 paces mark ed off and the men took their places. The word was given and the aim of both men proved true. The names of the duelists have not yet been ascertained. The dead and wound ed men will be brought to this city. This story has created considerable excitement here, as it is a variation from the usual draw and-shoot-on-sight in vogue among desperate men in the west. Palmer Endorsed.
