GOVERNMENT MATTERS.

WAsHMGroN, Dec. 16. 1.-The amend
ments of the Congressional Commit
tee to the navigation laws are enacted
and will set the American flag flying
upon every sea. Nothing will do that
except hiring the flag to float at 50
much per annum.
Congress is being strongly urged
to extend the bond period for spirits,
by kilograms and petitions received
from all parts of the country. Whisky
men are low spirited, though working
earnestly, but the result Of last falls
elections and their agency in it does
not gain them any republican friends.
Republicans declare that whisky
money lost them Congressional dis
tricts The whisky mon are asking
republicans to help them, and are ey-
identity much embarrassed. Senator
Sherman thinks the period may be
extended two years. and with this
whisky men will have to be satisfied.
Others concur in this view.
Henry Yule Hird renews the charge
of consI Tracy between Ottawa Gus
toms officials and the Bureau Of Sta
tistics at Washington, to alter the
records OF the governments of the
United States and Canada regarding
the expectation of fish from the Uni
ted States to Canada and British
North America. Nov. Both, he wrote
from Windsor to Secretary Freling-
huysen, giving details of the manipu-
lation of records. He asks an extern
siye inquiry and thorough reforma-
tion of the civil service, by which the
frauds have been committed.
A number Of the House democrats
are determined to make all the trouble
possible for the land grant railroads
during the remaining days of Con
gress. Their zeal is attributed to
patriotism and desire for the public
good 1t is by no means improbable
that some of them have close rela-
tons with the bears of Wall street.
AT all events it is the bears of Wall
street who are mostly benefited by
these movements at present, for no
one imagines, in the closing hours of
Congress, with such great questions
as tariff, taxation and other business
to be considered, that the discussion
of so vast a subject as the land grant
system Of the government is likely to
be entered upon. Resolutions affect
ing a number OF roads have been in
troduced, and more are threatened.
The warfare is to be continued even
with greater vigor by the next Con
gress. Cogg will introduce bill
especially aimed at the Northern
Pacific.

section Of the act to prevent the intro
duction OF contagious diseases to the
United States Referred.
Consideration OF the Indian appro-
pratiOn was resumed.
Plumb objected to Sherman's attempt
to get the bonded spirits bill up.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Plumb offered
an amendment to the appropriation bill
for the education of Indians at Carlisle,
so a5 to coyer the cost of TRANSPORTATION.
1t was thought their education was on
the wrong plan. They should be taught
the arts and civilized trades, and after
that be sent ont to be absorbed into the
community, and not sent back to the
tribe, where education is useless.
Dawes endorsed the present methods
of education Every Indian sent back
became a silent teacher of civilized ways
and was pledge of peace.
Logan favored enlisting the men in
the army, believing they would make
good soldiers. He would teach the
tribes gradually to live in houses and
lead pastoral life. The attempt to
maintain schools among them was a
waste Of money. The schools would not
be attended where established. He had
spent some time among the tribes re-

Plumbs amendment was agreed to,
providing that the Seminoies still re-
naming in Florida shall receive their

Logan offered an amendment that any

COLUMBIA RIyERIMPROyEMENT

WAsHTNGToN, Dec. 15.-The report OF
Commission Of Engineers appointed to
examine the proposed Improvements ut
the mouth of the Columbia river was
sent to the Senate today. The report
fayors the building of a single jetty
from Point Adams, so as to make the
distance between its outer end and Cape
disappointment nearly the same as that
between Chinook Point and Point
Adams. They say that inasmuch, as at
the section between Cape Disappoint-
ment and the proposed jetty the wave
action is very potent, and that it does
not exist at Chinook section, it is
thought best to make the new mouth of
the river narrower than the present
Chinook section. They estimate the
cost OF the improvement, including con-
tingencies, az S3,j5O,OO0. The report
says the Use OF stone is desired. hut the
expense would be o erially 10 luced by
using wood mattresses. Major G.. II.
Mendell filed minority report. He
says he is unable to agree with the
other members Of the Commission as to
the extension of the jettieS to deep
water. He says the peculiar circum-
stances OF heavy sea waves, strong and
alternating currents, and the prevalence

HOUSE.

Davis, OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee, except Randall, it is understood,
will have minority report of the Tariff
Commission bill. The more they inves-
tigate the worse they like it. The vesy
reduction proposed upon commodities
made in our manufactures demonstrate
the fallacy of their theory. The
protective principle, that tariff is for
protection, and will cheaper prices if
judiciously arranged, through starting
new manufacturers and giving rise to
competition. The report, however, will
not merit the presentation of the Tariff
list for adoption by the House, for the
reason that the free traders on the COM
mittee are not able to prepare a revenue
tariff which they dare bring in and de-
fend on the floor Of the House and be-
fore the country. The report consists in
main of a protest against the recommen-
dation of the commission, on the grounds
that they are injurious, and the system
is contrary TO the views of the minority
in that it recommends protection. They
are little slow in making this discovery
probably because the phrase protective
tariff does not occur in the commission
er's report, and the list is characterized
as a discriminative tariff The Senate
Committee on Finance is having con-
siderable tariff, but the chief trouble is
over the wooden schedule. Apparently
this will have to be changed. On washed
woods of the grade known as combings
and carpet wool, the duty is double the
reduction by an abolition OF adyalorem
duty of 10 and II per cent. having come
entirely on the unwashed. The fact is,
unwashed wools are not imported, while
the bulk OF our importations OF raw ma
terial is all those coarse woods for the
manufacturing OF carpets. They are not
produced in this country, but it comes
chiefly from Russian manufacturers OF
coarse wooden goods and carpets, who
have declared that they will be ruined
should this recommendation become the
law. for under it they cannot do business.
1t is argued against the recon-
mendation that doubling this
duty ON these coarse wools

THE NICARAUGA CANAL.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. l7--An attempt
will be made in the Senate to call up
the Nicaragua canal bill rs soon as tue
civil service reform bill is passed. The
canal bill will be opposed by the appro-
priation bills and the bill for the relief
of Fitz John Porter The appropriation
bills will probably be given precedence.
Captain Merry says he has every reason
to believe that Congress will consider
the canal bill soon after, if not before,
the holidays. Members of the Califor-
MIA delegat on are working earnestly to
passage.

cause it is of finer grades than are grown
in this country, for which there is ample
demand in our markets at remunerative
prices. The wool growers of the United
States disclaim having any interest in
these questions, it is said, while it would
he blow at the manufacturers, and
wsuld be no assistance to them. 1t
seems likely that the committee will re-
port in their bill duty for these coarse
wools no higher than that under the eX-
isting tariff. 1t is maintained that this
will be ample, considering the heavy re-
duction on manufactured wool from this
grade of material.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE amount of
construction ON the Northern Pacific
railroad for the year 1852 is stated by
Fice-President Oalles as follows: 800
miles finished in Yellowstone valley, 25
on the Wisconsin division, and l25 up
the valley of Clark's fork of the Colum-
bia, in Idaho and Montana. making in
all 40 miles. In addition there has
been 200 miles graded. The gap be-
tween the two ends Of tho track in Mon
tana is now $50 miles, nearly all being
in the old settled portion of the Terrific
rN between Bozeman and Missoula,
where the gold mines attracted consider
able population as early as 1862. The
present end of the track of the road
building west is at Livingston, Il new
town at the head of tie Yellowstone val
ley, The total mileage of the finished
main line now operated by the company
is 1916 miles. So far advanced is the
work of the uncompleted section that the
opening of the entire line to the Pacific
coast is regarded as certain to take place
next summer.

THE MOUNTAIN SIDES.
One Of the pcculiarities which Is incom-
prehensiblc TO the visitor is that when
looking up at one Of these mountains IRON,
the lake the steepness seems TO be SO grea'
that Il would be difficult to maintain foot-
hold on It's sides. But in ascending the
Rjpi we found that the very houses on the
wayside were nestled in hooks and
creyices that were perfectly safe and in-
babjtablc: that the hotels were all built
on plateaus that were rs level and easy OF
access as those Of the lower world, but that
good deal Of grading and cutting away
of rocks had been done TO make them OF
easy access. 1t is only where the mountain
Is bare of vegetation, incapable Of holding
the pines which grow everywhere except
on lone rocks, that the steepness is a real
fly, and not deception Of the vision. But
how it is possible to live so kar above the
surrounding world is a mystery that 1t
would be difficult to solve.
BACK TO LUCERNE.
We spent about four hours on the sum-
NIT of RIgi, taking lunch at one OF the
hotels, and returning by the railway 10
Viznon. After q pleasant sail on the lake

for the half-past Z dinner, served here inn

ness which TO the world may seem rldicll-

ual emlnence, is OF importance"
"What is it," asked the minister, re-

Glove you?" gasped the good man, re-
garding the petitioner, and inwardly VOW
inc that he had never before met more
repulsive human being.
eyes, sir, | want you to love me-" and
he sat down and closed his eyes as though
he intended to await the announcement OF
his decision. "The command is to love
one another: confess that | love you,"
and opening his red eyes he lcered at the
minister.
"Wcll. SIR" said the minister, "your
demand after all is simple. suppose you
have been lost for many years, and have
Just tasted grace. and that you especially
want the love of ministers. Yes, | love
you"
"Thank YOU" "Now, when we love
any one we are willing to help him. Gim-
me me a dollar, sir gimme a dollar. Out
of the love YOU bear me, gimme dollar"
The minister arose, took down q box,
and handed the visitor dollar.
Goodbye, / hope you will always love
me-" and the lover was gone.
Chow did you make it," asked rough
looking man, when the lover reached a
street-cOrner not far away.
Fine. Never had but one preacher
that got away with me, and he was an old
Baptist that insisted upon ducking me into
the river before he could love me. Preach
ers like something odd. The old-styled
way of striking them is repealed"
"Let me see the money"
"Iiere she is, new dollar. Let's go
and take something"
81 guess not. The thing is counter
felt"
1t was vile imitation of the dollar of
the dads, and the two thieves looked at
each other in silence. The minister poked
his head over the fence and laughed like
horse. The dollar had come to him in a
contribution box Exchange.
