House.-Mr. Dawes fMass.), from the
committee Of ways and means, reported
adversely upon the bill to repeal the stamp
duty on friction matches, and also to repeal
the stamp tax on bank checks.
THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
Mr.. Dawes Mass, from the same com
mittee, reported bill fixing the amount Of
legal tender notes ct $400, O00. 600. and pro-
hibting any future reserve,
Mr.. Beck, O member of Il O committee,
said he hoped when this bill came up for
consideration it would be considered on its
own merits and not with reference to any
question OF imitation or contraction. 1t
would be starting point for the future
action Of the committees Of banking and
currency and ways and means, and it would
also settle all doubts as to the amount OF
legal tender currency to be issued. The
amount of money that should be in circu-
lation was $500, 900, but by the illegal
action OF the Secretary ofthe Treasury and
Treasurer of the United States the sum of
$44 900, 900 was withheld from circulation.
Mr.. Cox said this bill was nothing more
nor less than an attempt to legalize the
issue Of the forty-four million reserve. =.
The bill was then referred to the COM
mttee of the whole House. $50
Mr.. Kasson, from the same committee,
reported bill to take the tax off deposits
of banks which were purely savings insti-
buttons, which was also referred to the
committee of the whole. ~ .ai
Mr.. Sheldon (La.) from the same COM
mittee, reported bill to establish bonded
warehouses for the storage of imported
rice intended for expectation. Passed.
The House then resumed the considera-
ton of the West Virginia contested case.
Pending debate on the West Virginia
election case, the House took a recess,
and reassembled at 1880 p. M, with Mr..
G. f. Hoar in the chair as Speaker pro tenn.
The object Of the session was to consider
the report of th.' committee on the revi-
sion Of the laws. Which was variously
debated until the hour of adjournment.

the annual conventions of the woman suffra-

recently held in that city, notes this fact, and
refers to the time, only a few years since, when
half dozen suffragists held their meetings in a
dingy little room up sir flights of stairs in Park
Row. The same journal says there was q per-

Cincinnati hopes to induce Franz List, the
renowned composer and pianist, to come over
and preside at the musical festival in that CITY
In lss5. To be sure, List has declined on the
ground Of age and inhrmities, but he is to
receive another pressing invitation to come,
with the assurance that he will not be expected
to take active charge of the festival but only to
give II the luster OF his presence. Most of the
musical celebrities Of the old world have visited
this country, and perhaps Liszt will be persua-
ded by the ardent Cincinnatians TO do the same

1t seems to be settled by the Board of Health
that our citizens will have to put up with the
dog nuisance this summer unless Congress or
the District legislature comes to the rescue.
The subject is receiving the attention it merits
In nearly ali other American cities, none of
which can show as large apropOrtiou Of dogs
to population as Washington. The Baltimore
city fathers are now discussing an ordinance
which provides that there shall be a dog pound
established In the eastern and another in the
western part Of the city. To each OF these a
pound master is to be appointed by the Mayor,
and each OF these to get salary of $50 a year.
a hne Is to be imposed upon the owners of all
dogs found running at large. The pound mas
ter II to be paid twenty five cents for each dog
found at large in the streets and is to give each
dog one meal each day. Each owner of dog
impounded to be allowed to redeem 1t within
forty-eight hours, and If not redeemed the dogs
are TO be sold if valuable, or killed.

Judge wylle, in the Court Of Equity, Yesterday
refused an Injunction in the case OF the Franklin
Building Association against Phil. III. Welsh,
30 that the trustees named In the deed Of trust
given to secure the advance to Welsh will pro-
coed with the sale of the property. This refusal
Of . permanent injunction indicates that the
court proposes to decide each case upon its
merits, and that the order Of the court In the
Pabst case Was based chiefly upon the particu-
lars set forth In the account stated by the
Economical Building Association. There is,
however, another class OF persons that Will be
very much benefited by Judge wylies decision.
We refer 20 that class of stockholders in build
ing associations who, having purchased ad-
vsnces, have miscOnstrued the decision in the
Psbst case, and a remark made by the same
judge In the case Of the Washington Cooperative
against Welsh. Some OF these parties having
obtained money from building associations
affect TO believe that they need no longer
Fay their monthly dues, according to
tie terms OF the contract which thew
have voluntarily made, and whose-penaIties
they GEEK to evsde by obtaining the interpOstiOn
OF the courts. The sooner such parties learn
that the courts will not be imposed upon by a
general defamation against all building asso-
Citations, and all accounts rendered by them, the
mere money they will save in the concl 1sisn of
their cases. The statement, 50 commonly made
BY counsel for these voluntary delInquents
Lat building associations invest the money OF
the wealthy, IL just the opposite of the fact, as
the stoek-rOlls OF every association will show
that the monthly contribution comes from the
mesgTe savings of persons whose savings will
not permit them to keep a bank account.
Besides, every member who delays to return
his monthly quota Of the advance received,
delays the winding up of the association, and
thus causes his fellow stakeholder who Is honest
ly and promptly returning his advance to pay a
longer time, and ii is that which increases the
rate Of interest, and suggests much OF the al
legged grievances which are presented to the
courts.
