The nrnrnmers, raN.

An ordinance was introduced IN the
Council last night fixing the drummers'
tax at $40 a week. 1t will come up for
action at a meeting of the Council to-day.
1t is great improvement on the present
ordinance, but it is not exactly
what is wanted and what we have
been advocating. The lighter the tax is
on drummers the better it Will be for the
city. This, however, we have pointed out
time and again, and there is no use re-
peating it. 1t is probable that the ordi-
nance will pass in the shape in which it
was reported by the Finance Committee.
The concession which it makes will be
appreciated, but those interested in this
matter Will not be satisfied until the tax
is so reduced that it cannot in any sense
be regarded as Onerous.

Neither the 3 per cent. nor the per
cent. bonds are suitable or satisfactory as
a basis for national bank circulation.
The 8 per cents. are liable to be called III
at any time. and the premium OF the
ner cents. is so high that banks are
constantly tempted TO sell them ana
withdraw their circulation. Various
nIans have been suggested toald the
hanks in their present dlihculty'
The latest is that Of Senator AloIlcn'
of Rhode Island, based on the Suggestion
Of Comptroller Knox, and introduced IN
the Senate last Monday in the shape OF
bi1 The 4s have twenty-three years to
run. and they command premium Oh .
cents Mr.. Aldrich proposes to give the
holders of the As per cent. bond, TO ma
ture at the same time the 4s now mature,
and a premium of 10 cents on the dollar
The assurance is also given that these
IS shall be the last bonds PAID.
By this plan the government
will nav in advance a sum equal to per
cent. interest for fifteen years, and VIII
save a sum equal to l per cent IN
terest for eight years. If all the IS
are exchanged for IS the saving TO the
government will be about S09,OOO,OoO'
The plan is apparently more advantageous
to the government than to the bondhold-
ers. 1t is true the bondholders get cash
payment Of 10 per cent. of the face of their
bonds. which they can capitalize into IS,
and they also get, long bond, provided
all the As are not changed into IS, but the
amount Of interest they would receive
from the capitalized 10 per cent. would
not amount to quite half what they would
receive in twenty-three years from the
per cent. they give up. The plan would
probably be acceptable to the banks. The
little they would lose in interest they
would make up on their increased circu-
lation. If they put the Is per cent into
IS the amount of their bonds would be IN
creased more than sixth and they could
increase their circulation to that extent
without investing any more capital. The
proposed per cent. bond would certain
~ be Il much better banking bond than
any of the bonds at present in existence,
for reasons that are apparent.

Morrison the Alleged Boss of the House

cognize member who wants to speak,

iections clogs the wheels of legislation
but members are beginning to recognize a
third power, Mr.. Morrison of Illinois, who
seems able at all times to get the attention
of the Speaker, and when he thinks days
session has gone far enough he moves to
adjourn. The motion, of course, never
fails to carry, for the man that opposes it
knows that his chances of getting any
thing before the House are slim unless
Morrison is willing to vouch for him to the
Speaker. The Illinois member is looked
upon as the power behind the throne, and

A Change for the Better.

There are more Temperance organiZa-
tons and societies in the country to-day,
more men who are total .abstainers, than
at any time in its history. There are
three or four States where the sentiment
against tho use Of intoxicating drinks is
so strong that their Legislatures have
been compelled to adopt stringent legi-
Station on the subject. The memory of
most men living can recall the time when
the National Congress. the Senate as
we'll rs the House Of Representatives,
witnessed scenes of into1ication that
shocked and disgraced the whole coun-
try. Strong drink was openly sold in
both wings Of the Capitol at Washing
ton, and it was an ordinary occurrence
to see drunken Senators and Representa-
tives staggering through the corridors to
their seats in the two branches of the
National Legislature. It is true that
liquor is still sold there; but it is in vio-
latinn Of the rules. The Congressional
revelry has come 10 an end, aud no man
who is known as q habitual drunkaud,
no matter how great his ability or how
excellent IL other respects, can retain
his seat in either body. This is true OF
nearly MI the State Legislatures. Ninety
per cent. Of the o,liceholiers Of the
country. State and Federal, are men OF
temperate habits. They cannot, in fact,
be elected or appointed If their lives are,
III this respect, a scandal. In private
business houses the same rule obtains
