morning we would get up at three
o'clock and push through journey

what morning that was We had
pitched our tent in valley between
the high perpendicular walls of two
mountains. The moon hung full
overhead, and rode along just on the
broken edge of one of them-now

TIE ACTION Of the House Judiciary Commit
tee in adopting a rulo prohibiting the mem
bers of the committee from giving any tnfor-
nation in regard TO their action on the Land
GraEt Railroad bills now pending, is exciting
considerable comment. 1t is claimed that by
some means or other the agents of the rail.
roads interested are furnished with all tho
points going on, and as member of Congress
sald TO your correspondent to-day, If you want
10 know what is going on you had better watch
the stock lists in tho daily papers. 1t Is
claimed, however, that the object OF the COM
mittee In Withholding general information as
to theif intentions Is for the purpose or pre-
vomiting improper use OF Information so
gained; but IL Is quite notorious fact that
agents of the roads knows what is going on in
their interests, while the people, who are
moro interested, arc kept in ignorance Wash.
Special TO Bdlt0 AmericQn
THE CRITIC has more than once COM
mented on the, to say the least, singular
action of the Judiciary Committee mcn-
toned above. The statement that the
agents of the great railway companies had
knowledge of what was being done is
true, or the smiling faces of the agents belle
the situation.
The withholding of information from
the public, to prevent its Improper use,"
and allowing the agents to obtain it, is just
the way to have the actions of the COM
mittee improperly used" and at the same
time to render it liable to very unfavorable
comment.
AT this day and in this city whenever a
public man does what renders him liable
to unfavorable comment, the comment is
sure to be msae, for the press of Washing
ton, particularly THE CRITIC, will not pass
by in silence the action of any man or set
of men in public life who do, or leave un-
DONE what may by their action, either way,
damage the people.
To say the least of it, the action of the
Judiciary Committee on this whole ques-
tion has been indiscreet. The committee
may be honest in its endeavors to do what
is right and just in the premises, but it has
not impressed the public that it is, and
this endeavor to envelope its actions in
secrecy is strong point against it.

APPARENTLY uumindful of the fact that
the few newspapers which do not belong to
the railroad monopolies have compelled the
Judiciary Committee to resist the blaudish-
ments of Willard Mr.. Robinson, of the
Pacific Railroad Committee, innocently
fetches in his bill for the benefit of Hunt
ipgton. 1t is entitled a Bill TO Authorize
the Consolidation of Railroad Companies in
the Territories of the United States" Its
objects were fairly described in the news
columns of THE CRITIC yesterday. In brief,
it is scheme to repeal surreptitionsly
every provision in the charters of the
Pacific railroads designed to prevent
the absolute control of them by
monopolists to the prejudice of the
people. This is notably the case with Mr..
Huntington's new Southern Pacific Road,
the existing charter of which embraces
stringent provisions against consolidation
for the purposes of monopoly and extortion
with the Eastern lines which give it an
outlet.
There is danger of Mr.. Robinson's bill
passing this session, it is true, but it seems
worth while to call attention to it as an
illustration of the power which the monop-
olies enjoy in the Forty-scventh Congress
and the reckless impudence with which
they ride their legislative packmules.
Packmule Robinson in particular seems to
rejoice in his burden, and frisks about un-
der it as if he imagined the line of march
TO be sort of picnic route. Very well,
gentlemen, go ahead. Keep on buying
your way through the statute books. The
time may come when your investments in
Congressman, Cabinet officers and New
York newspapers will cease to pay divi-
dends.

THERE is on South Fifth avenue, New
York city, ready-made underclothing es-
tablishment, at which from 200 to 300 girls
are kept at work on the fifth floor. Mar
row stairways lead to this sky loft. Dur-
ing working hours the doors of the room in
which these girls work is locked and they
are helpless prisoners, cut off in case of fire
from the forlorn chance of escape the mar
row, steep stairways might afford. The pro-
prietors explain that they do not want the
girls to be running around during work
hours. There is no fire escape from the
room, the proprietors giving as their rea-
son for not putting one up that it would
interfere with their sign. The name of
this firm of human hell-hounds is Damn
hauser & Monsheimer. They should be
locked up in the State prison at Sing Sing,
be kept at hard labor, fed on bread and
water and be literally and enthusiastically
padded between meals, so as to encourage
their standing up.

THE New York Erening Post is of the
opinion that "the Judiciary Committee has
no power under the Constitution to impair
the obligation of contracts" This occurs
in an article exhorting the committee to
report in favor of Willard on the Land
Grant bill. What contract does Mr.. Schurz
refer TO? Can it be possible that the Judi
ciary Committee is trying to "impair the
obligation of the contract" by which Schurz
traded the powers of the Secretary of the
Interior for controlling interest in the
New York Erening Post? If that be the
case, we agree with Schurz. The Judiciary
Committee cannot impair the obligation of
that contract. All it can do is to defeat the
object of it.

elsewhere we publish an interview
by the Graphic correspondent with mem
ber of the Naval Committee, setting forth
the reasons why the Naval bill encounters
SO much and such virulent opposition. The
member of the committee sums up these
reasons in two words-"British capital"
We are glad to note that some of our states
men have begun to see things as they are.
For some years Great Britain has kept up a
regular agency in this country through
which American legislation and American
journalism have been subsidized for the
benefit of British commercial interests; !;
but until recently it has been impossible to
make the public understand the fact.
A publication of the list of American
journalists, Senators and Representatives
who are directly or indirectly in British
pay, would startle the country. There has
never been, in all the history Of corruption,
a system of bribery so comprehensive, SO
adroitly managed or so skillfully disguised
as the one under discussion. 1t has been
in operation for many years, and its results
are seen every time really American in
terest comes up for discussion in the press
or in Congress. We have no doubt that ii
will ultimately be exposed and its bene-
iciaries brought to grief. 1t is impossible,
in the nature of things, for such disgrace
to be hid permanently.

THE CONTRACTOR for sweeping the
streets gets about $4,000 year, and his
contract continues until June 30, 1888.
Nearly every evening, between and 0
o'clock, his sweepers are at work on Penn
sylvania avenue, raising clouds of dust that
fill the atmosphere, float into the stores,
and do great damage to the merchants. AS
this is the hour when the Avenue is most
crowded, during pleasant evenings, the
lungs and nostrils of the passers. by are
filled with the dust, composed of materials
not generally considered either pleasant or
healthy for inhalation.
The merchants on the Avenue complain
that they are often compelled to close their
stores to prevent damage to their goods
from the dust. Under the former con-
tractor, Mr.. Wright, the Avenue was swept
late at night, when the stores were closed
and the street free of people. Eleven
o'clock at night is the earliest hour at
which the streetsweepers should be per-
mitted to commence work on the Avenue.
