ME-. Willis. OF New York, has
introduced a bill in the House en-
titled ian ect TO simplify the uations
bAnhIlg laws and TO remove all un-
necessary restrictions and burdens
therefrom." 1t is proposed in this
bill 30 abolish national bank taxes
on capital AMI deposits, relieve these
banks from government supervision
and permit them to control their re-
serves, which are to be reduced to
% per cent. National banks are to
be allowed to keep their moneys
where their best interests dictate;
State and local taxation on national
bank shares is to be limited to one
per cent. and bank examiners are to
be abolished.
Finally, it provides that all ex-
penses whatsoever relating to the
national banks shall be taken from
the fund derived from the tax en-
national banks.
This is certainly the most auda-
clous movement In the interest of
national bank menorclies that has
yet been undertaken in Congress
The proper title for this bill would
be "An act to relieve national banks
from all responsibility or accounts
bility to depositors and creditors,
ana remove the burden Of taxation
from them to the people and give
them limltless po~er to invest the
money Of their depositors in wild cat
speculation and stock jobbing."

An Iron Concert Hall.

A novel building is just built at

wide. 1t is built il three spans or
bays, thirty four feet high to square
and fifty four feet high to the apex
of the v%entilator. The main roof is
carried by wrought iron principals,
ratters of T-iron, and ties, strut-rods,
and braces OF round iron. The prin-
cipals are supported by cast iron col
umns, having Ornamented caps and
c%sntilever brackets, springIng from
the square part of the column. The
lean-to roofs are supported by tim.
Der rafters, struts, AMI tie-beams,
resting upon brackets cast Oh COL
umns to receive the same, and upon
the side framing, which is timber,
as the gable end framing. The
roof, sides and ends throughout are
boarded, stained and vanished
and on the boarding is laid a layer
Of non. conducting, inodorous felt,
to prevent the possibility Of draught
and to render the acoustic proper
ties Cf the building more complete.
Galleries extend along almost the
entire length of each side, supported
by timber beams, bearers, and struts;
wide pitch-pine s%talrcasesI leading 10
and from the galleries to the level Of
the floor, and the galleries being
protected along the front by an elab.
crate ogee section railing of suitable
design in cast iron. The exterior of
the pavilion is entirely covered with
galvanized corrugated IRON. The
lighting Of the building is arranged
by means of segment and other
lights at each end OF the hall !; at
the sides by continuous lights along
the main and lean to caves. and by
circular-heaped French easements,

and from a poor, ordinary Indian,
without hereditary rank or family
influence, he has made himself rich,
powerful, and celebrated among his
people by waging unceasing war
on the insufficient forces and
unprotected frontier Of the
United States. Do you suppose
that the same dream Of ambition
does not lurk In the heart of many
another savages? They have heard
Of the barvery of their fathers from
the day of childhood; they have
listened to the boastings Of older
warriors and braves; they have
been taught that it 10 the duty OF
every man to make himself a record
in the blood of his enemes; and as
you have your ambition and 1 have
mine, SO they have theirs; and the
great ambition Of every aspiring
spirit among them is to unite and
organize their race and make war
upon the whites. I acknowledge
much that has been said about their
wrongs, and members know how
earnest an advocate L have been on
this floor for reform in our Indian
policy. But 1t Is your policy and
the people of the frontier are not
responsible for it. Until you change
it and while you r changing it
you owe them that protection
which government is instituted to
give to its citizens. You may i'm
prove your policy and be able to re-
duce your forces. But be not too
sanquine of the success of any
system. No matter what you
may do or what policy you may
adopt, there is an ~Irripressible con-
fict between the civilization and
savagory which must be waged until
one IS triumphant and the other
submits.

postal, military, and other pur-
poses," and also by the subsequent
acts Of July 2, 1864, March 3, 1869,
aud June 20, 1874, amendotary
thereof, that said railroad and bran
cbes should be operated and used
for all purposes of communication,
travel, and transportation, SO far as
the public and Government are con-
cerned, as one connected continuous
line, without any discrimination Of
any kind in favor of the business of

upon such basis and contract with

In his forthcoming annual report
Postmaster General Key will again
call attention t. certain eecentrlci-
ties in the compensation ofpostmas-
tiers. An effort was made in this
direction last year, but Congress
failed to fully adopt the propositions
OF the department, SO that, in a great
measure, the proposed equalization
of salaries has failed. In many OF
the smaller towns, postmasters are
receiving a compensation as great
as In some of the larger cities. The
theory upon which the postofice de-
pirtment views the subject Is that
the postmasters at sm Ter offices
should get less and those at the
Lager more compensation. Mr..
Holman's Limitation that no post
master should receive more than
$4,000. except at New York, who
was to receive ss,0oa, completely
frustrated the efforts If the depart
