CONGRESSIONAL FINANCIAL
MEASURES.

The three financial bills now before
the House Of Representatives as prelim-
mary measures for the resumption Of
specie payments are as follows; Mr..
Chittenden's bin for getting rid of the
redundant greenbaeSs proposes that tue
Secretary Of the Treasury shall sell 81
100000 gold bonds per month. for green-
backs. for eight months of the year. be-
ginning with February and ending with
SePtemher-the greenbaeks to be can
eelled as fast as they are bought and
thus retired from circulation. The bonds
are TO bear 1 l-2 per cent, interest and
to be available as security for eircula-
ton with the national banks. The OBJ
Jet Of this measure is to reduce the
amount Of grcenbaeks and make the re-
demptiOn Of them more easy. Mr.. Nor
rison'S bill for the accumulation Of gOld
in the country directs that the Secretary
shall hoard all the gold that comes into
his hands over and above what he re-
quires to pay the interest on the public
debt, until he shall have accumulated
an amount equal to 50 per cent Of the
greenbaeks outstanding and it requires
the national banks. also. to keep all Tue
gold they receive in interest on their
bonds till they shall have accumulated
an amount equal to so per cent of their
circulation. Mr.. Woods bin for refund
ing portion Of the debt directs the Sec-
retary Of the Treasury 70 issue aud sell
s5OO.OOO.O00 of bonds. bearing 1 l-2
per cent interest and redeemable At the
pleasure of the Government after 50
years The bill presumes that long
bond. bearing the low rate of II Per
cent. can be sold at par. and thus
s5O0,0OO.O0O of 6 per cent bonds
changed into an equal amount Of l-2
per cents saving s7.5OO.OOO annually
in interest Mr.. Chittenden's bill seems
to Dc the most reasonable and the most
feasible for many reasons. and we hope
it will be passed BY large majority.

PENDING JOBS IN CONGRESS.

By the passage of the FortI6cations
Appropriations bill, the other day, the
House saved more than three million
dollars to the Government. The esti-
mates from the War Department were
made on the Recommendation of engin-
eers. and it is most likely that members
of Congress from the various localities
IN which much Of the money asked for
was to have been expended, had hand
in forwarding the matter. Last year
about one million dollars was expended
for fertilization purposes. By declining
to specify the points at which work
shall be discontinued, the House has
shrewdly avoided the clamor which local
interests were sure to raise if there had
been any opportunity.
If this discreet management could be
applied to all the bills arprOpriating
money now before the House, the Demo-
cratic majority would get on famouslv
With Its work of retrenchment. And.
what Is better, the country would be re-
heEed from expenditures which can be
postponed, as well as from many which
ought never to be made. To save three
millions in single bill which contem-
plated the outlay of three millions and
fraction Is a good stroke of business.
But when the House, or the Appropria-
tons Committee. face propositions of
greater magnitude. on which these local
interests will insist on being heard. the
real heroism of economy must be dis
played. 1t is not likely that there will
be very vigorous effort m ade TO secure
the seventY-hye thousand dollars asked
for public buildings in Arizona, nor for
ike amount for similar purpose in

powerful lobby, but it represents large
