WASHINGTON, ID. O. March 20, 1880.
The House on Saturday attempted to
make n show toward a weeks work ,and
managed TO refer quite number Of
bills reported from committees to the
calendar. fhe Consular and Diploma
tic appropriation bill was then taken
up, and the general debate concluded,
and the reading.of the bill by sections
for amendments begun, which outs the
debate down TO five minute speeches and
gives some assurance OF the speedy dis
posal of the bill. Having accomplished
this much the House closed the week,
most frultless IN results, by adjourn
nent. The Senate adjourned on Thurs
day to to-day. l.r -r
The Argument, ifsuch IL can be called 4,
urged by the advocates of the pulp and
paper monopoly, that tue Increase IN the
price OF paper is only that which is
marked in other articles, and means a
return of healthy business, IS as weak as
it Is impadent. uff .-.lt
1t Is TO bs observed that the Jumping
up Of values So. without parallel, In the
las: eight months, is confin ned to such ar
icles a. Congress has given Q monopoly
by prohibition in duties that has taken
them out OF the lis. Of revenue and made
them simply bounties. While iron,
steel, paper, and few other staples have
gone up, wheat has not jumped, nor
corn, nor any other product of any agri-
cultural origin, although such industry
~ the underlying prosperity Of the coun-
try.
Keen, active agents OF the press are
watching carefully the progress of this
contest, and the names of the mbers
daring to aid in this monopoly will be
duly taken down and forwarded home
for publication, so that the. papers may
publish to their constituents the wrong
done. The remedy lies in the PROPOSE
too made BY Senator David Davis, of
Illinois, to admit not only the raw mate
rial free OF duty, bat the paper Itself.
There was cry of free breakfast to
the poor man when the duties on tea and
ooffee were abolished. Now let US have
free reading for the poor man in q land
where food for the mind is considered
OF vastly more Importance than stimu-
liant for the stomach.
1t see ms tn be understood that General
Paine will not retire from the direetion
of the Patent Office for some time to
come, as there Is considerable business
that he desires tr close up personally.
There are many names mentioned as the
probable successor of General Paine and
tits very doubtful whether the right one
has been suggested. The civil-service
theories of Senator Schurz would lead
to the belief that Mr.. Doolittle, The pres
ent assistant commissi ner, q gentleman
we'll qualified and popular In and out of
the Department would be promoted
TO the position, but it is rumorsd that
the Sherman boom will have a prepon-
derating inaence in the selection Of a
Commissioner.
