A Congress Club.

Ever since the organization of the
United States Government it has been the
rule for Congressional candidates to
spring spontaneously from the great body
Of the people. No special education has
been considered necessary to qualify a
man for Congress, and any schooling that
looked towards the Congressional Office
as its object would have at once made the
student an object Of ridicule.
A number OF young men in New York
have been bold enough TO acknowledge
themselves aspirants IN the future-near
or remote, as opportunities may present
themselves-to Congressional hOnors. A
Congress club has been organized for the
purpose Of promoting the political edu-
cation Of its members, and familiariZng
them with the rules Of parliamentary
law governing the two houses Of Congress.
The club is nothing more or less than a
moot Congress, and is divided into a Sem
ate and House. The House is to consist,
when full, of 175 members, and the Senate
of IS members, elected by the lower house
from its own body, the club being limited
to 24l members. Members are apportioned
torepresent certain States, and arerequigeG
to familiarize themselves with the history,
laws and peculiar industries and needs
of their respective States. The club elects
a President and Vice President, the latter
to preside over the Senate, while the
House elects its own Speaker. The club
is governed by the laws of the United
States and the rules of the United States
Senate and House, with some additional
regulations required by its peculiar char
acter.
This Will be fine school for budding
Statesmen II properly conducted. Whle
many may take a humorous view Of the
organization, on mature consideration
its objects can but be commended.
there - scarcely a Congressman but
would have been useful member at least
one year earlier, if he ever became useful
at all, if be had had the advantages OF
just such club as this is proposed to be
made. Its advantages over an ordinary
debating club are many. NOdOubt scores
Of young men would be glad TO avail
themselves of the benefits Of such club
who have no idea Of ever becoming Con-
gressmen.
Every city in the country might sustain
such an organization, and the intellectual
status Of the members would be much i'm
proved thereby.

The CulIOm Interstate Commerce
TSiII

1t is noticeable that the interstate COM
merce bill, which the Senate Committee on
Railroads has agreed upon, does not pre-
tend to fix the rates Of compensation
which interstate railroads shall charge
for the transaction Of business. 1t pro-
poses only to prevent extOrtion and I'M
lust discrimination. The duty of the
commission. which is to consist Of five
members. only three Of which can belong
to one political party, is to hear COM
plants. and when the complaints are well
founded to eftify the facts to the United
States District AttOr ney Of the district
in which the wrongful acts were commit
ted OF course the railroad companies
interested will do their utmost to defeat
the bill. They have fought the Reagan in
ter-State commerce bin successfully for
years, and they have been heard in oppo-
sition to this Senate bill. They may sue
coed in stavlng off for good while legis-
latiOn of this kind, but it
is probable that an Interstate
commerce bill of some kind will be passed
eventually. The demand for interstate
railroad regulation is too strong to be re-
elStcus AAtlC diC 5tNdt many NPlAt-
plants against railroads that undoubtedly
are without a reasonable foundation, and
there are some railroads against which
there is no occasion for any complaints
whatever. 1t cannot be successfully de-
MED, however, that the practices of some
of the most powerful railroad corpora
tons in the country are hostile to the
public welfare and damaging to private
interests. Railroads are sufficiently
powerful to ruin industries and business
enterprises that are in a measure depend
ent IpOn them, and instances are not want
ing where they have not hesitated to use
their power. If it had not been for the
favoritism Of the railroads the Standard
oil Company could never have become the
powerful monopoly that it is. Many
small oil companies were ruined by the
determinations of the railroads in favor
of the Standard.
The attempt to regulate interstate COM
merce will. of course, be an experiment,
and whether it is successful oEnot will
depend largely upon the composition of
the commission. For the proposed super
vision of their affairs the railroads alone
are responsible. Had they abstained
from the practices of which complaint is
made an interstate commerce law would
not have been thought of, and if it had it
would not have received much encourage
ment from Congress.

An Extraordinary Loan.

There is no work of internal improve
ment more to be commended than the
opening of a land-locked water way from
the Mississippi river to the Atlantic.
Accounts from New Orleans and st. Louis.
however, convey the impression that the
company of spectators now engaged in
working up this project are resorting to
most extraordinary means to obtain
loan Of $500, 600 with which to make a
show of work and defray the expense CT
placing a much larger loan on the Euro
pean market.
1t is proposed to issue bonds to the
amount OF some $4,000, OOO which it is
claimed certain European capitalists have
already agreed to cash. A construction
company will then be organized, which
will proceed to carry out the work under
a contract with the canal company.
In order to raise the $500, 900 immedi-
ately required to inaugurate the enter
prise, $1,000 has been assigned to New
Orleans and 100000 to st. Louis, the pro-
jectors of the enterprise presumably taking
the other $IOO,Oc0 This $500, 900 loan is to
be secured by deed Of trust or mortgage,
and is to be repaid soon as the bonds Of
the company are cashed by the syndicate.
The parties having the privilege of fur
nishing this money are to get s per cent.
interest and 10 per cent. bonus, also one
sixteenth of the profits Of construction,
which fraction is placed, at the lowest es-
innate, at $4,000, and SS16,666 of the
stock Of the st. Louis, New Orleans and
Atlantic Canal and Transportation Com
pany.
The scheme, figured out by an agent of
the company, is a dazzling one. The
parties who furnish the $500, 900 certainly
have fine chance to about double their
money in a short time provided the syndi-
cate that is to cash the $14, COX, 900 in bonds
does not eyapOrate before complying with
their contract. So far as the SS16,-
666 of stock in the company which
the 100000 creditors are to get
as an additional bonus is concerned,
that may or may not be valuable.
AS the whole property Of the company
is TO be mortgaged to the full extent of its
cost under a most liberal contract for con-
strBctiOn, the presumption is that the
stock would not rule very high in the
market for a few years at least. Even if
the profits of the canal should be extraor-
dinarily large, the subsequent inancier-
ing of the managers of the company would
have to show great improvement on the
promises made and means resorted to to
obtain the temporary loan which is now
being placed.
There is no doubt that a canal will be
eventually built to connect the Atlantic
and the Mississippi, but the present
scheme appears 10 be a wild one. To
properly inaugurate such a work the pro-
jectors OF the enterprise ought TO have at
least enough money to pay for printing
the bonds and the expressage on them to
London. The great objection to this
company is that it does not appear to
possess any actual cash. If it did it
would not offer such extraordinary terms
for the purpose Of securing a temporary
loan of $30O,O00

Technical Education.

The London ines, in an article on tech
nical education, last Wednesday, said:
"The friends of technical education in
England Will read with unmitigated envy
the accounts Of the development Of indus
trial education in America. The English
are only just beginning to realize the vast
importance Of organized technical in
structiOn. The Americans are far ahead
Of us in institutions for giving their sons
and daughters that practical training
which fits them for Industrial pursuits"
These are strong words Of praise. They
ought to stir Americans to renewed eXer-
tions in behalf of technical education.
The Times, speaking for England, realizes
the mistake the English people have
made in neglecting to give encouragement
to technical schools, In this country
these schools are located in the Northern
States. They have not yet found a place
in the South. The effort made to secure
an appropriation from the last Legisla-
ture Of this State for a school of this de-
scriptiOn ia Georgia was a failure. There
were few men in the Legislature who
appreciated the advantages Of technical
schools, but they were not influential
enough to have their views Endorsed by
an appropriation. The time is not dis
tant, however, when the young men of
the South will not have to seek in the
North the advantages they ought to have
at home. The building of factories and
the opening of mines will create public
sentiment in favor of schools of technology
strong enough to secure their establish
ment in Georgia and other Southern States.

ne desires a seat IN the NdIlOnaA COn-
ventfOn, and VIII support Arthur.
ThefaiIure of Emery Storrs to be ap-
pointed a delegate, says Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune, presents
a new question to the National ConYen-
tion. Mr.. Storrs is determined to be a
delegate if be can accomplish his pur-
pose by any process OF substitution. 1t
has been suggested that he might obtain
a proxy, but the giving of proxy by a
delegate to a National Convention has
probably never been heard of. Another
plan has been devised, which, it is thought,
may be successful. 1t is proposed that
the delegate and the alternate
from some district shall resign
and that the Congressional Com
mttee from the district shall appoint
Mr.. Storrs as a substitute. 1t is claimed
that if vacancies in the case of both the
alternate and the delegate should occur
Dy death, the COngre ssiOnal District Com
mittee would have the authority to APP
point a substitute, and that the same rule
must hold as to the filling of a vacancy
arising from any other cause. Ii this
plan shall be determined upon, it is prob
ably that the delegate from the district in
which Mr.. StOrrs resides and the alter
nate will resign. Mr.. Woodward, the
delegate. is reported as reluctant to serve.
The object which Mr.. StorTs has in being
delegate TO the convention is not conceal
ed. He says that he has been badly treated;
that he was promised that he should be a
delegate, and was told that he need take
no steps personally to secure the appoint
ment. and that he has been deceived. He
attributes his failure TO Logan, and be
evidently proposes to now endeavOr to be
Of as much service to the opponents of
Logan as possible. He declares himself
now for Arthur first and for Edmunds
second. There are many indications OF
close relations between the supporters Of
Edmunds and Arthur. There is appa-
rently a good understanding between the
Arthur and the Edmunds leaders.

CARLISLE TO TALK ON TARIFF
He VIII Draw Nice Distinction.

He VIII Draw Nice Distinction.
1t is rare thing, says a WASHINGTON
special to the New York Times, tor the
Speaker of the House Of Representatives
to deliver a set speech upon the floor of
the House, but it is understood that
Speaker Carlisle proposes to do this in be-
half of Mr.. MOrrisOn's tariff bill. The
friends of the measure are aware that it
is in a decidedly precariOus condition
and can be saved from death only by the
most strenuous efforts, if at all. They
hope that Mr.. Carlisle's advocacy will
have a marked effect upon the delibera-
tiOns of the House, and particularly upon
the votes of members of his party, when
the expected motion to strike out the
enacting clause is made.
1t is said that the Speaker will draw
the distinction between free trade absO-
lutte and freer trade and between revenue
reform and free trade. He will declare
his attitude to be in favor Of a tariff for
revenue solely, while he viii maintain
that a tariff so levied will be amply suffi-
cient to afford incidentally whatever pro-
lection may be needed by American labor
and manufactures, and that tariff laid
for revenue will improve American
wages and elevate the general condition
of the labOring classes. Among those
who know that Mr.. Carlisle intends to
address the House on the tariff question
his speech IS looked forward TO with
pleasure, because the ability and judicial
fairness of his manner of treating ques-
lions Of public interest is generally con-
ceded even by those who do not share his
opinions.

FUN IN THE HOUSE.

Guying a Member Who Persisted in
Reading a Long Speech.
A scene occurred on the floor of the
House to-day, during a discussion on the
Wood-Peters contested election case, says
a Washington special of the 23d inst. to
the Philadelphia Times, such as is rarely
witnessed. 1t was cranks' day in the
House and they made the most Of it. The
fun began with two hours speech from
Mr.. Wood, the contestant. He read his
speech in the central aisle, displaying a
pOrtly figure of man about fifty years OF
aye in a bObtailed coat and with a coun-
try grocery air. 1t was the greatest
effort of his life.
But this was the bluest Of skim milk by
comparison with that which followed.
Judge Bennett, of North Carolina. had
made a minority report in favor OF Wood,
the rest Of the Committee on Elections be-
ing unanimously on the other side.
On his report Judge Bennett made
a speech nearly two hours in length,
in which he discussed constitu-
tiOnal law in the most flOrid style
and pOmpous manner. He large man,
with a towering bald head, the hair hay-
ing apparently ali slipped down on his
chin, and has voice like bull. He
ragged and roared with pOnderOus fury,
and was constantly guyed by the whole
House numerically. Every time he mis-
quoted the law the lawyers laughed, and
every time he slaughtered Latin grOan
went up from the scholars, which set the
whole House in roar. This amused the
House so immensely that one member
after another got up and gave Bennett
additional time, until they wore him out.
He then convulsed the House by asking
permission to rest awhile, filing in with
Mr. Pettibone This was granted, where
upon Pettibone amused the House still
more. his harangue being more fitted for
field service than for the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
When Bennett had again run down, the
House took vote, which was practically
unanimous against him. In the vote to
give Wood the seat only Bennett and
Calamity Weller stood up against the
whole House. which result was hailed
with shouts Of laughter.
