plicated is the question to be solved

them. The objection raised b
some to Mr.. Hooper's bill whic
provides for the issue Of 3.65 pc
cent certificate to the amount c
one hundred millions to be ex
changed for greenbacks, is that
takes capital from the capitalist
and allows the banks a larger cncu
lating medium with which to &C
commodate Their depositors.
The friends of Honorable Jane
Brooks of New York, and Oake
Ames of Massachusetts,, are consid
erably worried over the suit com
menced against these honorables By
Thos. G. Durant, ex-president of tht
Credit Mobilier. Mr.. Durant has
long since prepared his claim, and
only through the warlnest sol;cita.
ton of his friends has been induced
to withheld prosecution.
1t appears on investigation that
Governor Carney of Kansas, got
$4,000 to withdraw from the SEN
atorial contest, by which it was the
purpose to assist Senator Caldwell
in his election to the u. S. Senate.
Among the interesting debates in
the House was that upon the ques-
ton of increasing the appropriation
for the Bureau of Education. It
commenced on Wednesday after
noon, on a motion by Mr.. Durnell,
of Minnesota, to increase the appro-
priation to the extent OF some
$1,000, giving what WAS considered
some very essential additional cleri-
cal force. It is we'll known that the
Secretary of the Interior and the
President, under whom the Office is
conducted, had, with their direct
knowledge Of its operations, CON-
men'lc'l itcp,pAatically to Congress
the Secretary especially recommend
ing the increased appropriation.
The Committee on Education and
Labor had the subject under ad-
eisement, and recommended the
same.
The debate took a wide and
peculiar range h:r ''y fixing itself
lpon the direct point, whether the
luties required OF the office de-
aands the increase asked for. The
Democrats uniformly spoke against
he increase and indicated opposi-
:on to the very idea of a Bureau OF
education. Mr.. Farneswortb, the
beral Republican, has always been
IS assailant. Mr.. Sargent, Mr..
[ale and Mr.. Burchard, Republican
lille sustaining the present appro-
ration, oppose an increase. Few
cts connected with the progress of
le legislation in the House has
yer been more indictive of it's ex-
It temper toward the public well
re.
