Show Silence now reigns in the1 halls of congress. The two ampitheaters, that in the past ten months have echoed to so much eloquence and witnessed so many scenes that would have graced a bear pit, are now deserted. The streets of the capital are lonesome and the convivial haunts, that were wont to resound to the mirth of statesmen, now are silent through the long watches of the night. A mournful wail comes from Belgium. Bel-gium. The Independence Beige is sad and the MeKiuley bill is tho cause of this sadness. It does not like the bill, but seems to forget that it was framed for Americans aud not for Belgians. Failing to find any other ground of objection ob-jection it assorts that it will militate against the proposed world's fair in the introduction of their products and manufacturing man-ufacturing industries. Wait and see. |
