Show THIS NEXT (SESSION OF CON-(iUKSjS. CON-(iUKSjS. 1 Congress will commence business at the next session with 7'J'J bills on its cal-, cal-, landers. No standing committees have ; yet been appointed by speaker Elaine. Among the bills now on tlic callanders arc several for (he- repeal of the income in-come tax, many for the removal of political disabilities, land subsidy i measures, railroad imd telegraph ! schemes. A great many new aud im-I im-I portant measures in reference lo I finances, commercial in forests and rev- j enuc reform arc being prepared and it j is likely that the question of the ad- i mission of Utah to tho Union its a j Slate will be one of the debatable topics of the session, which is likely to extend far into the summer and the Presidential campaign of 1ST2. As that campaign will take shape aud form from the deliberations and acts , of this session of congress, its reports will be watched closely by (ho public.' Although it is doubtful whether our political masters will allow the hundred thousand citizens of Utah to participate partici-pate in the choice of a President nexl year, the daily proceedings of" coo-I coo-I gross will be no less pagerly scanned in j this Territory than in any other part of the country. The publishers of I the Herald expect to be able to lay j before their rcadora every morning, as they havo heretofore done, a concise 1 report of the proceedings of the na-I na-I tionnl legic!atnrc, thus putting the j people of Salt Lako upon an equality with the citizens of New York or Phila-. Phila-. delphia at their break I list tables. |
