The Era in giving the cost of
county publishing in the years of
1888, 1889 and 1890 should have
added that the work was performed
by three reputable papers of gen
eral circulation, none of which re
ceived one-half the amount which
has been donated the Era. The
object in having notices published
is to bring the matter contained
therein before the public, and the
three papers successfully covered
the entire county. There is a great
difference between having the
county notkes published in three
papers of general circulation than
having theni printed in one whose
circulation is limited.
Two wrongs never made a right,
and the little Era cannot justify
these, never-ending sessions of the
board of county commissioners by
measuring performances with past
officials. Its party "came in with a
flourish of trumpets to reform these
pernicious practices, and to. insti
tute a system of rigid economy; yet
up'to date its economy'has been in

called to his dog, 'come along 'PopJ

asked why he called the dog 'Pop?'
For short,' answered the boy.
'Well, what's his full name' 'Pop

3EWARE Of IMITATIONS,
Washixgtox. March 4. The 53d
congress adjourned sine die at noon
The clock was not turned back and both
houses came to a close simultaneously.
Only three senators Mandersou, Pet
fcigrew and Mitchell rcere at their desks
when the vice president rapped for or
der at 9 a. m.. after a recess of less than
fire hours. Observiner the slimness of
the attendance, Mr. Manderson cmii
mented on the fact that "the other side
eemed to bo in a dismal minority," and
a recess was taken for 15 minutes
There were, perhaps, at this time 100
people in the galleries, the crowd of a
closing session having taken possession
of the Capitol. Those who had remained
in tae chamber until early daylight
showedin their jaded faces that the
strain was telling on them.
Mr. Cockrell, who, as chairman of the
appropriations committee, has borne
large part of the burden of the 48 hours
of continuous struggle on appropriation
bills, was among the late arrivals.
At 9:10, when the senate proceedings
were resumed, the vice president an
nounced his signature to the naval ap
propriation bill. It was the last formal
ity be fore the taking of the last import
ant measure to the president. At 9:-15
the vice president announced his signa
ture to the deficiency bill. This was the
last of the appropriation bills, and thus
all oE the great measures for carrying
on the government were either at the
executive mansion or on their way
there. At 10:45 Mr. Voorhees offered a
resolution, which was adopted, for the
appointment of a joint comraitteeof the
two houses, two senators and two repre
sentatives, to wait upon the president
of the United States and inform him
that congress, having completed its busi
ness, was ready to adjourn. The vice
president named Mr. Voorhees and Mr.
Sherman as the senato members of the
committee.
The Bering sea question made its ap
pearance, oneny wnen Mr. wray (Uem.,
Del.), asked unanimous consent to take
up the bill already , passed by the house
concerning Bering sea regulations,
which, he said, were essential to the
preservation of the fur seals. Mr. Mor
gan objected. This ended the chances
of the bill.
At 12 minutes to 12 the last enrolled
bill was reported to the senate as signed
by the vice president, but it seemed im
possible to get the executive signature
on time.
Mr. Call vehemently insisted on s
final vote on his Florida lottery investi
gation resolution. At this moment Mr.
Voorhees and Mr. Sherman, the com
mittee to wait on the president, ap
peared at the door and announced that
the president had no further communi
cation to make. The vice president,
who had now taken the chair, rose as
the clock pointed to two minutes to 12

As the last words were spoken by the
vice president, being timed to conclude
at 12, he brought his gavel down sharp

Proceedings In the House.
"Washington, March 4. At 8 a. ni
when the house reconvened for its Jfinal
session alter a 4-nours' recess, there
were exactly 1J members on the floor.
The speaker Wiuj at his post. All looked
tired and worn out. In the nublic iral

who had remained there all night, and
in the private gallery a solitary female
held the fort. She looked beclrascrled.
but was evidently determined to sit it-
out. Otherwise the hall was deserted.
Mr. Baker (Rep.,N. H.) had the honor
of passing the first bill of the final ses
sion. It was a bill to pay a war claim
of Margaret Kennedy, amounting to
$4,000.
Mr. Dockery was in the watch tower
ooking after Uncle Sam's strong box,
but he allowed several bills to go through
by unanimous consent. One by one the
members arrived and the galleries began
to fill. At 9 o clock Chairman Sayres,
of the appropriation committee, entered
the hall. Although he has been almost
constantly at work for 48 hours, he was
buoyant and of light step, overjoyed
hat the last appropriation bill had
passed.
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., O.) caused the
first flurry by a sharp speech, contend
ing that the Republicans were the true
friends of bimetallism. The repeal of
the Sherman act two years ago, he said,
had accomplished more than any other
influence to bring about the hopeful
condition for silver we now observe the
world over. He predicted great results
from the proposed monetary conference.
3Ir. Grosvenor's speech precipitated
quite a stir among the silver men. They
all rushed forward and appealed for
recognition. Mr. Bryan (Dem., Neb.),
managed to et the floor, and indignant
ly resented tlis reflection made by Mr. 1
Pauce yeiterday upon the silver meriT
who favored this conference. He wasJ-,
for free silver, but .he believed it the
hei iht of fohy for the United States not
to join hands with other countries of the
world if they were ready and willing to 4
join in the scheme for the remonetiza
tiou of silver.
Mr. Dingley (Rep., Me.), agreed with
Jfr. Grosvenor, contending with Eu
ropean bimetallist3 that the simple at
tempt of any country United States,
Prance or Germany to open its-mints
to the free coinage of silver, would
swamp it and place it immediately bn a
silver basis., 1 ' "-"- r,

confusion on the floor ceased. The com

appeared and informed the speaker that

Mr. Cannon (Rep., Bis.),' then obtained

the invention for which Bate received

Kansas City, March 4. The acreage
of wheat in western Missouri is much
smaller than last year and the conditio
of the growing crop is better at the pres

where the corn crop was a total failure'
there was more wheat sows than in
1893, but in the eastern part of the state
the acreage is somewhat smalr or abomt
one-fourth. The condition b the south
ern and western portions is not prmnia
ing, but elsewhere it is fair. Oats sow
ing has commenced in Marion and ether
