POLITICAL NOTES.

The best way for the Senate to amend the Silver
Bill is 20 strike out the enacting clause.
Jones loves the worllIngman fondy that he
wants to force him to accept 80 cents from every
man who owes him dollar
The more the silver question is agitated the less
danger is there Of its success. Public sentiment will
condemn il when Its true initiation spirit is compre-
hended.
The silver agtators object to the "hard names
which the "Wall-st. Shylocks" call them. Ii Is n
difficult task To discover u soft name which will fit
the case OF man who Is advocating reputation.
How does the Hon. s. s. Cox hope 10 gain the favor
of the hony-hauded workingman by. voting for a
bill which gives every employer the right to pay his
men only 90 cents for every dollar he owes them

railways. and there would be little property
in that state which could be pr0ftably cult
waited to-day. Are those whose money, in
vested in railways, has made that State so
populous and rich entitled to no returnf If
the Iowa law stands, they can expect none
upon their stock, and large share OF them
cannot even get interest on their bonds. what
wonder if they, and others who know the
facts, refuse to put another dollar within reach
of such n law No doubt, the people VINO
framed the law meant it to be honest and just.
But the fact is that they virtually conis-
Gated the money of Others which had been
invested in enrichnS Iowa farms. Many SIN
think. we presume, that the law ought to he

dcpds. and to bondholders who receive pre-
caTiOus interest, if any, with fear and trem-
bling. But the fact is that men who have
money to lend will not lend it unless they can
count upon fair returns So long as it is theirs
to lend, they utterly refuse to put it where
they are to have no night to say what shall be
charged for the use of it. \ thousand other
avenues are open, in which money can seek

1t would be misfortune to have the
DEVELOPMENT Of this great State thus arrested.
But we see 10 help for it, unless the people OF
Iowa want to treat capital as other people
treat it who need and want to borrow II. Not
one of the farmers Of Iowa, we venture to sly,
is foolish enough to lend his money to any
body, If the borrower is to have absolute and
exclusive right, after ne has spent the money,
to say what he will pay for the use OF it, or
whether he will pay back anything Of interest
or principal. Yet that is the condition on
which men who have money are asked 10 put
il into Iowa roads. Until this law Is
repealed, it is idle to expect that
means can be found for advancing the
DEVELOPMENT OF Iowa. Adherng TO such a law,
claiming exclusive right to say whether rail
ways shall be permitted to charge enough to
pay anything to stockholders, or even to bond
holders, the state must perforcc stand still, 50
far as its growth depends upon iron highways.
Other states viii gov and become rich; inlni-
grafton viii go elsewhere; If Iowa prefers to
repcl capital 1t has the power. But Would Ii
not be immeasurably wiser TO change the rail-
way law, adopting one like that Of Massachu-
Setts2 Iowa must decide for itself. All thal
Eastern capital cen do is to rcsoutely decline
to place Itself wi,hm reach Of laws which may,
and in many cases do, virtually confscaie it.

So Congress is to adjourn next week. This
will be good news for the country, hut the
popular joy Will be tempered considerably
when the unwclcOmc reflection comes that the
fist Monday OF December Is close at hand,
and that the National lawmakers will be all
back in their seats on that day. The session
has been wholly unsatisfactory, and the only
really commcndabe measure 1t has produced,
is the resolution to adjourn. Congress
was called together to transact important
public business, but so eager were
majority of the members to thrust their
crow bars under the foundation OF the public
credit that for more than three weeks they
neglected that business entirely, and devoted
their time to schemes for making ninety-twO
cents worth of silver pay a dollar Of debt,
and for breaking the Nations promise of re-
sumption. When the Democratic House finally
took hold of the Army Appropriation Bill 1t
insisted upon reducing the military force to
an unmilitary array of skeleton companies and
regiments, and it put upon the bill an uncon-
stitutional direction TO the President as
to how he shall exercise his powers
as Commander-in-Ch Chief. The Senate, when
it came together, found one State with
only half its constitutional representation.
and one with no representation at all. No an
swer has yet been given to the applicants for
the vacant chairs, nor has any great concern
been shown for the interests OF the states de-
prived of their rghtful voice in legislation and
in the confirmation Of appointments. The Sem
ators of the majority party have been more
eager to preserve their political power, and to
bring the President around to their way Of
thinking about the distribution Of official pat
ronagc, than to fill these startling gaps in their
organization.
We trust there Will be no disappointment
about the adjournment next week. 1t is pity
that the recess cannot last until January. BY
that time the silver craze. which already shows
signs OF abatement, will have measumbly sub
sided. Popular lungccs are short-liyed. and,
like the weeds of summer, seldom long survive
a hard frost The West aud South will have
had time TO give a sober second thought to the
question of repeating the Resumption Act,
and letting 90 the firm hold the country
has on Il solid basis for the currency
We are convinced that the strength of
the popular demand for the repeal Of the act
in those sections has been greatly exaggerated,
and chat Congressman will discover by min
Cling with their constituents that they have
mistaken the clamor of an interested minority
Of debtors for the voice of the masses. The

IOWA IND ITS RAILROADS.

The people Of Iowa begin to realize that they
have made a most costly mistake. Their rail-
way law is bearing unexpected and unwelcome
fruit. That law was passed with the feeling
that the Legislature had every right. and that
the owners of railroads had no right at all, to
decide what rates should be charged for trans
portation. The attempt was made, no doubt,
with most honest motives, to regulate all
the roads by legislative wisdom. Maximum
rates were prescribed for each of the classes
into which the roads were arbitrarily divided.
Charges for local service propOrhoned to its
actual greater cost were prohibited. AS a con-
sequence, we believe it can be proved that not
4 single road earns a dividend in Iowa. Two
roads, which have their man trunk and traffic
in another State, pay dividends which are not
earned upon their Iowa portions. Five other
roads, being leased, receive dividends whcth-
er anything is earned or not, but the
Chicago and Northwestern reports de-
felt of $617, S34 III its proprietary roads
last year, besides rental of 81 ,142 GIG paid
TO its leased roads in Iowa. and the Illinois
Central reports a loss of S277,l42 on its Iowa
lines. Excepting these, and the two roads
mainly in Illinois, not a dollar Of dividend
was paid on the stock of roads in Iowa, and
eleven Of the roads remaining are in deficit,
seven Of them having defaulted in interest on
their debts Under the circumstances, is il
strange that not dollar Of Eastern capital
can be obtained for completion Of Iowa roads
For example, Ink of only fifteen miles is
needed to complete a road Of seventy miles
from Des Moines to Webster. The farmers
along the line have put heavy tax upon
themselves to build the roadway. But not a
dollar can be obtained IN this city for the COM
pletion of the half-built road.
Iowa was created by the railways. They
brought to the State very large share of its
population. They gave to its farms a very

4 CHANcE FOR ORPHANS.


Very few NEWCOMERS, probably, know that
fatheress children Of tins city are now enti-
tied to claim share in Stephen Girards be-
quest to orphans. The terms of the will linz
tied the benefits of this charity for a certain
time to the City of Philadelphia, after that
to the State OF Pennsylvania, and it was
not until the estate had increased to a value
which would warrant proportonate enlarge
ment of the college buildings, that children Of
this city were to be admitted. The requisite
enlargement has just been made, and it is now
in order for orphans here to apply for admis-
sion. The number OF pupils is to be increased
to SO, and forty vacancies remain yet un-
filed. Application must be made within a
month TO Henry w. Arey, No. ID South Fifth
st., Philadelphia.
Boys in order to gain admittance must bo
sound In mind and body, without living
father, and destitute Of any support, or chance
of it, from mother or grandparents If a hoy
succeeds in entering, he il clothed. fed and
educated until the age of sixteen or eighteen,
when he is bound out to whatever trade or
occupation suits his capacity, until the age OF
twentv-one In the majority of cases these
occupations are mechanical, but the education
given Is thorough aud high enough to fit a boy
for more scholarly work. There are lawyers,
physicians and journalists of WIDE reputation,
who owe their redeemed chances IN lie to
this llindcst Of Alma Matters.
The old fur dealer, Girard. pondercd all his
life long over this charity, lived meanly and
Jared poorly to save money for its accomplish
ment, and it is seldom that pOsthumous good
/ Z oh To Il
honestly. The trust has been Of late years in
the management Of honorable men, of whose
shrewd skill in business and integrity there
could be no question. The estate left for the
support of the orphans and the college has
largely increased in value, yielding an annual
income OF 100000. OF course, there have
been legi0ns of hungry heirs, incif,ctually lay
ing claim year after year To this bcquest.
Even the City of Philadelphia has tried TO cut
NJ the college grounds into streets. Bat the
orphans hold their own. The great marble
buildings, with their acres Of shaded walks ana
gardens, occupy their original ground in the
heart of tine city, and traffic and convenience
are forced to give way to the charity Of the
kindly old man and the fathcress children
whom he blesses in lus grave. One Of the
whims Of Girdrd, as Our readers will remem-
Der, was that no clergyman should even enter
the college gates. Whether his purpose was TO
exclude all religious instruction is doubtful
but the executors OF his will have chosen to
suppose his opposition was only to sects and
not to the religion of Jesus, and Christian
ity is taught without any denominational
tcnets to the pupils who are reapiug the bene-
fits of noble Christian feeling.
