A RADICAL CHANGE OF PRACTICE.
NEW WAY DEVISED FOR GETTING A NEW Bill
BEFORE THE HOUSE.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.1

rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The bill to exchange
silver for greenbacks was reported to-day from
committee without having first been introduced
into the House. A word as to this way for get
ting bills before the House.
Congress has at different periods of its history
adopted various methods Of giving measures start.
In the first place. bills were introduced by members
ard each one was referred to a special committee,
there being no standing committees of the House
Then when standing committees were established
this practice of introducing bills was discontinued
All measures first made their appearance as re-
ported from these committees. For many years
past bills have been introduced and referred to the
standing committees, which have reported on them.
The usual practice is for tho members to present
their bills during the morning hour Of Monday,
when the States are called for that purpose. have
them read twice by their titles and referred to the
standing or select committees. The House under
this practice takes control of bill from its first ap
pearance If single objection is made. the ques-
ton must be put to the House before the
second reading "Shall this bill be rejected !"
One member can also prevent the reading of the bill
second time on the same day. unless the House, by
n vote so orders and he also has the right to de-
mand the reading at length Of every bill. After the
second reading the question Of reference is still
open one for the House to pass upon, and it is not
uncommon for the House to refuse to send bill to
the committee which the member introducing it
prefers.
The object of these rules is to give the utmost pub
Lefty to every measure at every stage OF the pro-
ceedings and not to allow IT to advance single step
except with the consent of the House. The new
method Of getting bills INTO the House through the
petiton box nullifes these rules to an important
ov4ant and if generally practlsed will work an en-
fire change in the methods of transacting bust
ness I'm the House. Heretofore the House
has had the fullest notice Of what its
committees have been about, for they have not
customarily taken jurisdiction of subjects not
specifically referred to them In open session. Under
the new practice the committees will become much
more Independent of the House than they have
ever been and the most important measures Will
be brought in for action with little or no notice.
Ii was this practice that Mr.. Conger and other
Republicans were opposing to-day

A BILL TO RELIEVE MERCHANTS, CITY RAILROADS,
GAS COMPANIES, ETC, OF THE FLOOD OF SILVER
THEY TAKE IN.

A BILL TO RELIEVE MERCHANTS, CITY RAILROADS,
GAS COMPANIES, ETC, OF THE FLOOD OF SILVER
THEY TAKE IN.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSE1
WASHINGTON, April 16.-No opposition on its
merits will probably be made to the bill reported
TO the House TO-DAY by Mr., Alexander ii. Stephens
That bill is intended simply to relieve the retail
merchants of the country who are obliged to re-
ceve subsidiary silver coins from their customers,
but who, when these coins accumulate upon their
hands, cannot dispose of them except at a loss.
This inconvenience was the cause of very wide
spread complaint among the retail dealers in New
York and other large cities last Summer. In some
cases several hundred dollars in these small silver
coins accumulated III the hands Of single firm in a
sngleday. This money couldnot be deposited in any
bank 1t could not be used in the purchase of goods
at wholesale and it had to be sold at discount.
II was not the purpose Of the trainers of the law d.
recting the issue of these coins to make them in
trinsically worth as much they pass for but only
TO furnish q convenient medium of exchange. So it
Is the duty of the Government to remove any source
of inconvenience growing out of their especially
when il can do without expense. The bill of
MIR. Stephens would accomplish this.
