The importance that attaches to the sub
ject of transportation between the Western
and Eastern States at the present time will
give additional interest and value to the
able letter of Mr.. S. B. briggs, of New
York, which appears in to-day's issue. MIR.
briggs is an experienced writer and an &C.
complished engineer. His views on the
transportation question are entitled to
patient consideration 1t was his energy
and genius which reclaimed the Newark
meadows, and produced millions worth of
property from a vsporous, noisome swamp
and morass, detrimental 70 health and Often
siVe to the senses. This was one of the
most brilliant evidences Of engineering skill
that We have had for years. Whether Mr.
briggs views on the railroad question are
sound or not is not for US to determine, but
the subject is so vital that it cannot be too
much discussed. If as the writer says,
'the steam engine is the only power that
can solve the question, the sooner it is put
TO work in the direction indicated by the
letter the better it will be.
Senator Logan introduced a bill in the
Senate on Tuesday asking for charter to
construct such road as Mr.. briggs recon-
mends in his letter. The latter gentleman
is the author of the general features Of the
BILL and his letter illucidating his ideas is
well worth q perusal.

THE DISTRICT BILL.

The District government bill, reported
from the Joint Committee, seems likely to
pass the House, when reached, with little
or no opposition. In the community it is
much discussed, and, strange to say, the
strongest condemnation of the measure
comes from those who did most to promote
and inspire the investigation. Surely they
have their reward They refused to pay
their taxes and went to Congress for relief
They get it with vengeance. Instead of
one sewer-tax, they get what is equivalent
to sewer-tax once year. Perhaps Mr..
n. s. Davis and Mr.. Columbus Alexan-
der will try another investigation at another
session, and perhaps they won't Property
holders generally can thank these malcon-
tents if they hereafter permanently pay
three per cent per annum. Although three
per cent is g burdensome tax under our
present valuation, yet we advise our people
to submit patiently to it because of the fair
prospect Of ultimate justice and generous
treatment from the General Government,
which the bill holds out. There is no rea-
son why we may not expect when the
present liabilities are funded or paid, and
the equity ofthe municipal expenditure per-
manently adjusted, that the general tar win
be reduced back to 2, or perhaps even II
per cent? with enforced economy, and the
Government doing its share, there is no
reason why this should not be the case.
The bill needs amendment In several
particulars, In order to perfect it. The rate
of interest on the bonds should certainly be
such as to prevent it from going below par
in currency. At the rate Of interest pro-
posed, S.65, and paid out in exchange fg

TIE House Committee on Elections is
now discussing another shirk of the Nor
mon question. 1t proposes to turn it over
to the Judiciary Committee. This would
be worse than cowardly. 1t would resulh,
as the committee well knows, in throwing
the matter over to the next session. But
some of the weakened members Of the
Election Committee fancy that by this
means they will etrid Of the responsibility
of the matter. In this they are mistaken.
The people all over the country fully un-
derstand this matter, and they will be salts
lied with nothing short Of front face to
the music. If the Committee on Elections
can do no better with Apostle Cannon's
case than to turn it over to another COM
mittee it had best, for its own credit and
reputation, leave it where it Is. Postpon-
ing 1t by its own act is a confession of weak
and cowardly ilnbecility; but turning it
over to another committee that could not
possibly get the legislation required enacted
at this session would be still more dast-
srdly act. This Sinking and lodging

the class of Indebtedness proposed to be
funded, it would not command over sixty
cents on the dollar. In fact, it would not
rise to Its intrinsic value, which would be
about seventy cents, for at least two years,
when the small holders had all been sold
out. And 1t would simply be the perpetual
ton ofa scandal, already too grievous to be
borne. 10 have bond guaranteed by the
Government floating about 80 to 40 per
cent. below par. That has never been per-
mitted, and we do not believe 1t ever will
be. Make the bond just as low as you can,
gentlemen, but make it worth at least par
in currency. There d another very strong
reason why this should be done. The
greater portion of the debt to be funded
consists of sewer and auditors certificates
and the salaries Of clerks, employees, teach
ers &C., due and unpaid for months, and
certificates issued to or taken by foreign
creditors for materials sold or furnished,
and all taken, too. at par-dollar for dol
lar-with no increase In price or salary, be-
cause of the doubt or delay about payment.
1t would be gross injustice to force these
classes to take bond for which they could
only get sixty cents. And this would GER
tainly be the result Of o 3.65 per cent bond.
Another defect or oversight is that new
and very responsible duties are imposed
upon the commissioners of the sinking fund,
additional bonds to,the extent of one hun
dred thousand dollars are exacted from
them, and they are left without any pro-
vision for compensation. Now 1t will be
simply impossible to find men of the stand
ing and character required to perform such
duties under such circumstances. There is
also no provision made for any abatement
for taxes paid prior to November 1, nor pen
atty for non-payment, nor any provision for
sale Of property for taxes unpaid. We trust
the committee will remedy these defects be-
fore the bill is again reported to the House
for consideration.
