The allowances to officers for commu'
tation and forage have been curtailed
but the efficiency of officers in the field
will remain as great as ever, while the
privileges of the ornamental stalls in the
great cities will be somewhat abbre
waited. A good reform is inaugurated
by providing that no officers shall re-
ceive quarters except furnished by the
Government. In short, communication for
quarters is cut up by the roots. AT pres
ent, officers in active service on the
plains receive no quarters but tent, and
have to pay rent on the roof which shell
ters their wives and children in the
States, but officers whose duties are con-
fined to the town find cushioned seat
in the War Department in Washington,
and have rent paid for themselves and
their families at the rate Of over thous-
and dollars a week.
General Banning's bill reduces the pay
of the higher officers, but makes slight
advance in the pay of non.commissioned
officers. OF course the bill has enraged
the army ring at the capital. A CORES.
pondent writes
Few things are stronger in Washing
ton than the social influence of the army
staff. The vigorous investigation which
Banning has begun has aroused a great
storm, whose echoes can be heard at ev.
cry social gathering. The exposure of
law breaking has rarely been more dis
agreeable surprise to the law breakers
Probably the most frequent complaint is
that the committee is spending its time
over small abuses. The country will not
be likely to think 80 when it knows that
the Government pays something like
one hundred dollars day to keep horses
not used in its service, and nearly one
hundred and fifty dollars a day to pro-
vide comforts for officers here which it
denies to its officers in active service
The sum paid in this way in this city
alone aggregate over 100000 year, and
the same thing is proceeding elsewhere.
At New York. West Point, Chicago, St.
Paul, Leavenworth, San Francisco. and
other points are department headquar-
ters, and large ornamental stafs there
exist, and members receive much higher
pay than the gallant fellows of the same
rank who are fighting Indians on the
plains and mountains of the West. The
"soft" places are generally filed by off.
GERS with social or political influence and
not on merit.

The two important votes in the House
Of Representatives at Washington on
Monday were Mr., Springer's motion
to suspend the rules and pass bill to
authorize the coinage Of gold and silver
upon the same terms, and to permit de-
posts thereof in the Treasury for the
same purposes and the second vote was
upon motion by Mr. Goode Of Virginia,
to suspend the rules and pass bill sus~
pending the operations of the Funding
Act for five years from July next Al
though the two questions seem different,
the two votes ran almost parallel, and
that with few exceptions those who favor
ed equal coinage, also favored suspen-
sion of the Funding Act, and nice 0erSa.
Springers motion got I4o votes to Io2,
and Goodies, I22 to liz; but two thirds
vote was required so both motions fail
ed Ofthose who voted no in both cases,
sixty were Republicans and fifteen DemN
ocrats. Only sixteen Republicans voted
affirmatively on both questions, and, with
three or four exceptions, these were all
from the West.

ONE can make trip to Paris and re-
turn this summer at cost of thousand
dollars or a few hundred, according to
his ideas of living; but a writer in the
Providence Journal shows from his own
experience that it can be done in good
style, and occupy in all sixty days for
four hundred dollars in currency. The
great secret, however, is to know how to
do when one gets to Paris. Of course,
it is out of the question to do the EXpoN
sition and the sights of the city, and live
at the Grand Hotel or any one of the
great caravansaries of the city, in swell
style, on that money. If one proposes
to stop at that class of hotels, he must
allow for not less than $40 a day during
his stay, But pleasant apartments in
the West End, or in the Latin Quarter,
south side OF the Seine, can be had for
five and six francs day, and good fare.
including wine at dinner, for five francs,
From twenty to twenty6v francs day,
including cab fares and entrance to the
Exposition, would be liberal allows
ance. The fact is, the variety of ways
and means of living in Paris makes it
possible to accommodate current expen
ses to the closest ideas Of economy, and
one can spend much or little, as his
fancy chooses or his means allow.

SENATOR HowE,s SPEECH.

Washington, March 25.-The event of
the day has been the speech of Senator
Howe in the Senate. A very large audi
ence was present including many mem.
bers of the House, and the speech, which
was a severe arraignment Of the Presi-
dent, Secretary Schurz, and the Presi~
dents Southern policy. was closely lis
tened to. Ordinarily Mr.. Howe does
not command the close attention Of the
Senate while speaking. but to day was
an exception. Every Senator was in
his seat, and the illusions to the Presi-
dents course and alleged desertion of
the Republican party was thoroughly
enjoyed on the Democratic side of the
chamber. The speech was extremely
radical and went further in assailing the
Presidents acts than radical Republi.
cans expected. 1t will undoubtedly be
answered, If it does not lead to general
political discussion in the Senate. Sena.
tors Conkling and Blaine gave close at
tention to the speech and manifested
their appreciation as strong points were
made.

BERLIN and the city of New York are
about equal in population, but Berlin ex-
pends on municipal government but So
100000 to New York's $30.00000O. The
New York World says of this:
The administration of the Berlin city
debt figures in the budget at 6 5l2 $50
marks. live subtract this from the to-
tai of the Berlin oudget, we have in
round numbers little more than 35 000-
900 of marks, or $7.700O00 to be raised
for local administration in Berlin, against
about $l6000,000 raised for similar pur.
poses in New York, after deducting the
City's share of State expenses, the inter-
est on the city debt, and the provision
made for redemption and the sinking
fund. In other words, it costs a million
of people in the capital of the greatest
military empire in Europe less than half
as much to get their capital administered
for year, as it costs a million of people
in the metropolis Of the greatest republic
in America.
