A statement is going the rounds
which The CLARION copied, that ncgo-
tiations for the construction of the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, were
pending with prospects of success,
whether the company succeeded in
obtaining the land grant,or not. We
learn that the announcement was pre-.
mature, and that the negotiations
We're not successful.-JackSon Clar
ION.
The negotiations are still pending
and the prospect for their favorable
termination is more than fair.
We have reason to believe that sew
eral combinations of capitalists will
compete for the privilege of build
ing this road within the next eight
months.
The admirable charter secured from
the Legislature of 1882 assures the
early building of this road, and the
only great drawback lies in the fact
that an immense expenditure must be
incurred in building piers etc, far
enough out into the Sound to enablo
large craft to connect with the rail
road

The Public Debt.

The Treasury statement shows a
reduction in the public debt for the
month of May of $4,S00,476. The
decrease in the debt from Jnne Both
1882, to May 3lst 1888, amounted to
$119,725.051.
The debt on May 3lst amounted
to total of 81 ,8S7,O57, All, of which
s517,237,895 is represented by legal
tender notes, fraction currency and
gold and silver certificates that bear
no interest and circulate as currency.
This leaves an actual debt-as no
one cares to retire Or obliterate the
notes that perform currency functions,
except the National banks-of 81, )
369,S19,576.
The entire bonded debt Of the
country can be easily paid within the
next ten or twelve years if the reve-
nues of the Government are kept up
to the present standard and the ma
tional banks permitthe redemption Of
the bonds upon which they are found
ed. 1t would be far better policy
however, to extend the period OF
payment to twenty or thirty years,
and materially reduce the burdens Of
revenue taxation.

EDITORIAL MATTER,
rom Weekly issues of Friday Il Monday
Washington the Stalesnian'S
Workshop.

Many Representatives and Senators
have been busily engaged in Wash
ington ever since the adjournment ol
Congress preparing their works fol
next session. For lawyer, politician
statesman, engineer, or statistician.
there is no place on the continent
that affords such facility for study as
the Capitol, for in addition to the
great Congressional library which
affords a world of data in itself, he
has the Senate library; the House
library; the document rooms of both
Houses where printed copies of any
bill Or report ever submitted to Con-
gress can be furnished him at a
moments notice; all the files of the
Bereaus and Departments from which
abstracts are made for Congressman
without delay or question whenever
called for, and the grand library of
the U. S. Supreme Court from which
he can obtain not only every text
book and report but the code and
pamphlet acts of every State and
Territory in the Union. When in
addition to this it is remembered that
each Representative and Senator is a
member or chairman of several COM
mittees,and that he has the use during
session or recess Of committee room
for work, and that these committee
rooms are the most conveniently
fitted up offices in the country-pro-
vided with maps, globes, libraries and
other essentials; and that each House
is provided with a corps of riding
pages, and with telephones for com
with all the Government
Bureaus and Departments; and that
each House has its own post office
for communication with the outside
world ;and that each has its stationery
from which any article
by the writer or student can
be obtained at a moments notice, land
that all of these conveniences arc at
hand during every day OF the year
whether Congress is in session or not,
it will be readily understood why 50
many Congressman remain in Wash
ington during recess-unless called
thence by campaign necessities in
preference to retiring to their village
homes, where hardly any facilities for
work exist, to perfect the arguments
reports or bills they are preparing for
the next session.

IT is more than likely that the ad-
justments between employers and la
borers that took place il the iron re
gions last week, will avert the strikes
and riots that seemed inevitable few
days ago. Those of the mines and
forges that did not come into the mr.
rangement will probably suspend work
for the season, but there is every likli,
hood that the others will move along
without trouble.
