There does not seem to be any adequate
defense of the action of the Democrats in the
House, who opposed, in body, the bill to
make new provision for printing the debates
of Congress. There has been much just COM
plant at the heavy cost of this work; by the
new contract it is calculated that 1927 900 will
be saved annually on the job. If the Demo-
Gratis voted against that contract because it
would throw the work into Republican hands,
they lost a good opportunity for giving a good
essou TO the dominant party in the House.

After the vigorous action of the Jersey
Assembly on the anti-monopoly railroad bill
there is no doubt that it will pass the act for
q General Railroad law reported from Com
mittee yesterday. Let the members examine
the question fairly, and give MS something
practicable. The Senate cannot defeat such
bill, as It seems to have done the Air Line, by
the subterfuge of similar act. Senators
must vote directly for or against the will of
the people, and it will be well to see how
many times they venture upon that dangerous
experiment

The Republic of Spain, in the first week of
its existence, has taught some lessons which
the French Government has failed to learn
within the Last two years. The measures Of
reform proposed to the Spanish Assembly are lar
in advance of any beneticeEt legislative enact
mcnts recommended by the French Government
To-day, in strong contrast with the course
of President Theirs, who has accepted tno
claim of the Committee of Thirty that the
Assembly at Versailles has constituent pow
ers. Senor Figueras has admonished the AS
sembly at Madrid that its authority Is uahsi-
tory and not constituent. In Spain even Vho
Conservatives are anxious for new elections; !;
but to a conservative in either country the
criterion by which the constituent power OF
the National Assembly must be judged de-
pends entirely upon the capacity of his party
to cast majority of votes.
OF course it will be understood that with
the new indictments brought against Tweed,
Connolly, and Hail, the pOnderOus charges
which lately miscarried are quaShed. score
or two of indictments-perhaps moro, but one
for each distinct and separate steal"-are
now to be brought jointly against the three
in the precise manner which TIE TRIBUNE has
heretofore demanded. The evidence upon which
the new charges are based is not new; the
frauds of which the Ring are now accused are
those of the old Board of Audit; and not all
these are included, for it will be remembered
that new evidence has been found, showing
the extent of these swindles to have. been
about ten millions, instead of six as heretofore
develOped Arrests on these indictments -
which are really not to be ready until Friday
are expected to take place tomorrow, with
ont the usual "hide and seek" performances
which have heretofore followed each former
indictment.

Peck's Sewing Machine.

A Mr.. Peck had long entertained the
idea that he could invent self acting
sewing machine, anl he did. He pro.
cured steel ribbon spring about twenty
feet long, and OF sufficient power to run
horse car. This he rigged on his wife's
sewing machine with lot of clockwork,
and it appeared to him, when he finished
the job TINT evening, that he had realiz-
ed his hopes. If any aewius machine
over would go that one would, 50 he
wound it up ready for use in the morn
ing, AMI went to bed. AT four o'clock
Mrs. Peck aroused him, aud told him to
listen 10 the burglars in the house. He
listened and heard most terrific racket
IN tho sitting-room. Itappeared to him
that there must be million burglars
refreshing themselves with n prize Fl sht. .
So he loaded his gun, cropt softly over,
and peeped through a crack in the door.
1t was not burglars, it was Mrs Peck's
sewing machine. Thepeg had slipped
out aud that spring was having full
play. 1t would rear the machine up on
one end aud charge it three or four
times like battering ram against the
glass front of tho book case then il
would wheel around and suddenly tear
across the room,' butt up against the
mautelpiecs, aud it would lie down aud
roll over the floor, aud hammer the sofa,
tear up the carpet, and boost the center
table aud try and jam hole through
the wall, and then endeavor to leap up
on >the chandelier. Then as Peck
entered the room, it aea at him, and
tore in and out between h.s legs, the
wheel revolving like lightning all the
tune, aud the spring gradually unwind
ing. And then Peck retreated and the
family all got up aud got mattress off
the bed, with which they covered the
machine, and sat on it for while, but
finally pushed it out of the window into
the gard, where Peck piled boxes and
ash barrels and slop buckets aud fence
paliugs and wagon wheels on to it to
keep it still. But all night under the
heap it kept up continual buzz aud
snort and hun, so that one Of Mr. Bird.
