The Business of Congress.
Worcester spy.l

worcester Spy.l
Congress has not done much at this session,
nor is it likely to do much beyond passing the
indispensable appropriation bills, unless some
way can be found by which important meas
ures awaiting action can be brought to the at
tention of the House. By the present rules,
business except the appropriation bills, comes
before the House in the order of its place upon
the calendar, unless two-thirds vote can be
obtained to suspend the rules. Matters are
placed upon the calendar in the order in which
they are reported from the committees. The
unimportant matters, requiring but little in
quiry and consideration in committee, are nat
urally reported first. while the measures OF lar
ger scope and greater intricacy are more ma
turely considered and discussed, and more slow
" acted upon. Therefore such bills are pre-
coded on the calendar by innumerable compar-
atiyely petty measures, which it is impossible
to displace, and the House can only get at the
really weighty business of the session by work.
ing its way slowly and laboriously down
through mass of trivialties, and when that is
-0onol tho tizsae Of. tho session is exhausted,
members are impatient and they finally go over
to the next session. To meet this difficulty
change in the rules is proposed SO that commit
tees when their time comes to be heard, may
call up any me asure which is ready for action
whether it is already on the calendar or not.
BY this means the important business could be
dispatched, and the lighter affairs made to
wait But the Democratic members OF the
committee on rules oppose the change, and Mr..
Randall threatens to defeat it by flibustering
If it takes all Summer. Their motive is said
to be desire to deprive the Republican ma
iority of the credit of useful legislation, which
would probably be secured if the rules would
permit Another proposed measure, which, II
adopted, will give Congress more time for pub
lie business, is bill for referring several
classes of private claims to some tribunal
where they cen be examined on their merits
and disposed Of fairly and with reasonable
promptness. Ii is preposterous that the ma
tional Legislature should occupy itself with
such questions as whether the postmaster at
Timminsvile should be allowed five dollars
for stamps stolen by a till-tapper, or Private
Dusenbury should have new suit of clothes
because he lost his old ones while saving pub
lie property from fire. The national inge-.
nuity ought to be sufficient to provide way of
settling such questions more cheaply, prompt
ly and justly than Congress can do it.

Relief for the Needy.

AelleI LOT LAe Cce1y.
The pastor of st. Chrysostom's Protestant
Episcopal Church, Twenty eighth street and
Susquehanna avenue, has hit upon plan
for detecting unworthy persons soliciting
aims at his door, and for the nearly two
years it has been in operation but one indi
vidual has circrmvcnted him. The pastor
accepted the request of the Society for Or
ganizing Charity to make inquiry into the
needs of applicants for aims. and he set about
his work in this manner: He obtain
ed freshly coined silver dollar from the
Mint, and to all persons who applied to him
for assistance he held the shining coin be-
fore them and said it would be theirs if they
would remove q CARLOAD of gravel that had
been dumped in the ministerial back yard
by witless cart driver An hour would
have sutficed to perform the work, but the
applicants were unable to find spare hour
in which to remove the obstruction. The
first case was a man on his way to Balti-
more, who wanted only a little more
to aid him. The minister produced his
dollar, and the travellers eye bright
encd as he spied the shining sill
yer. Here, sir, is dollar - but
holding on to it, he added: 'You strong man
and honorable. aud you would rather work for il.
would you nUt?" Indeed would" WAS the re-
Spouse. Il have load of gravel which / would
like to have removed: it will take you All hour.
| will give you this He left to change his
clothes, and not being able to find them he never
returned. The next was man who had had moth
ing to eat for two days. He had dinner given to
him. and then wanted Il little money for his sick
wife. The bright dollar was produced. and many
blessings were invoked aS it met the gaze of the
poor man. The gravel heap was dcicately limited
at, and the man started Immediately for his tools
but spade was offered on the spot. Then he
suddenly remembered his sick wife, who needed
attention, and that man failed to rcappcar. This
course was continued for twenty months, and in
that time ID persons relieved in the manner
described. The 114th customer was a match for
the minister and put stop to that system of out
door relief. The man had noticed that the dirt
heap had been nearly lcvcllcd with the ground in
the course of time; so, accepting the offer, he
merely kicked about the heap for Il few minutes
and the obstruction Was removed to the satsfac-
ton of the minister, who paid the dollar to the
witty Philadelphia Record
