WASHINGTON, Jan. % Chairman Stock
slayer, of the Houte Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds says all hope of hav-
ing some OF the bills from his committee
passed at this session has not fed. He
thinks that II he fails to get consideration OF
the bills by taking up the special order fixed
for them. that they may be called up under
suspension Of the rules and passed singly
and independent one OF the other.
During the last six days OF Congress it is
in order to move a suspension of the rules
at any time. Then these bills providing for
public buildings in one way and ..another
may be passeo. Mr.. Randall has set his face
against them as q class. 1t will be next to
impossible 10 get them up except singly.

LIBRRALITY VITA A PURPOSE.
The Washington Gas Company Monopoly
and fits Liberality to the Inaugu-

Special to the Sentinel

Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHIEeToN, Jan. 22.-The liberality OF
the Washington Gas.light Company, in con.
tributing 1000 to the expenses Of the insu-
guratioh, was nberality with purpose.
The Company have already assessed the
amount on consumers, and now they want
the contract for lighting the ball
room. It is argued by the agents
OF the Company that electric
light is bad for blondes" hence they think
only gas should be used. The gas furnished
by this monopoly is of q kind to turn the
puJest blonde into full blown brunette In
one night, or money refunded. The COM
pany recently made q very bad mistake,
which may result in the admission
of rival concern in spite OF
their lobby. Repr' sentative Spriggs of the
Utica, n. Y, District is Il member of the Dis
trict oil Columbia Committee. Until recently
Mr.. Spriggs had apartments in the Portland.
He concluded to rent house, and one of
his first inquiries OF the owner was, show
do your gas bills run?'' He was told that
the bill averaged about 81 per mouth. The
end of the month came, and with it the gas
bill. Instead OF 81. il was $13. 1t hap
pened to be the month selected by the
company Ito save mp for Inauguration"
Now, Mr.. Spriggs thinks this company has
too much of a monopoly. He knows how il
is himself, and next winter when new con-
Germ attempts to secure charter 1t is likely
that a friend will be found on the District
Committee, II is about time, Tor there is no
greater system OF legalized gouging than
that in vogue here With the Gas Company at
the head.

He said he had intended to be a
Washington to see Mr.. Cleveland in
aupurated as President of the Unitet
States, but had been persuaded to re-
NAN over to take part in these exer
cises, and he was now heartily glao
that he had done so. He was literally
astonished at the magnitude of the
exhibits that surrounded them in this
vast Government building. Here
were to be seen in one vast collection
all the products of mans ingenuity
and genius; here, also, was displayed
nature in all her beauty; nature in all
her grandeur; nature in all her mani
fold and wonderful lessons. He was
proud of the part that Idaho was play
ing in this great Exposition, and he
was proud also of all those vast and
progressive States and Territories Of
the Northwest, Of which Idaho formed
portion; of Montana, Washington,
Dakota and other Territories possess
Ing so many characteristics in COM
mon with Idaho. There had been
great expositions prior to this of New
Orleans. They had had New York
Fair; they had had a Philadelphia
Fair, London Fair, Vienna Fair
and Paris Fair; but he welcomed
them to-day to Idaho's Department in
the greatest Of all fairs, the great Cot
ton Centennial Exposition.
Col. Eustis, of Minnesota, next
spoke. Eighty hours earlier, he said,
he had been in land where winter
reigned supreme, and to-day he was
in the Sunny South. How swiftly
time passed, and what
change from the ice and snow of the
great North lands to the sweet spring
lime enjoyments of the beautiful
crescent City. Col. Eustis spoke at
some length, and dwelt on the great
advantages to result from this Expo
ition, and on the grand and rapid
progress made by the great Tarrito-
les OF the North, SO admirably exem-
'llhed by the grand display of Idaho
he youngest of all the Territories.

THE MATTER OF A CITY CHARTER

Assemblyman Davis has introduced in
the House bill to amend the general
Charter Act. While its passage will not
force this city to accept the new charter it
proposes, yet it is for the purpose of ere
ating new charter for this city that the
bill is offered. We believe it is identical
with the measure recently printed as a
supplement in the city edition of the REC
oRD-UNIoN. That charter" has many
good features and several bad provisions.
The commendable predominant. Now it
behooves the people to set about consider
ing the Davis bill. If it is to pass, it had
Just as well go through with the objection
able features stricken out, and good ones
substituted. To this the Sacramento
delegation will not make objection. We
believe it intends to act for the best inter
ests of this people, and will conform to the
public desire regarding new charter
Our citizens should at once, therefore, set
in motion some machinery for the full con-
sideration of the bill. 1t has already had
the approval of Citizens Committee, but
We submit that it was not given
the consideration that was its
due, nor was full opportunity afforded the
people to discuss its provisions before that
committee. If no other plan can be de-
yised, and in lieu of any being proposed,
we suggest that the Trustees name one, the
Board of Trade one the Citizens Asso-
citation one and the Legislative delegative
one citizen each, to constitute a committee
of revision, which committee of four shall
select three others TO act with it. Let this
body Of eight prominent and representa-
tive citizens hold 4 number ofopcn sessions,
and give opportunity for ali who wish to
appear before it and discuss the features of
the charter orally or in writing. In ten
days time that body can hear all who Will
desire to he heard, and the measure will
have been thoroughly considered and de-
hated. In a few DAYS thereafter, the COM
mittee can report its Judgment, and in the
meanwhile the bill in the House will hold
It's place in the order of business. Ger
tainly some such plan, something of that
order, will erect a body the people can
trust and give full opportunity for orderly
and thorough discussion, and result in such
amendments as will retain every good feat
IRE of orr present bill of rights, and every
Improvement suggested by the proposed
new charter, and give us an organic act
that will decrease city expenses, and lower
the tax rate.
The reason for action is fortified by the
grave doubt whether we have any lawful
system for collecting taxes at all. 1t mqr
be that the Supreme Court will land us in
deep water as to that matter. In that case
we viii be forced to take up with the law
Of 1888, which is not nearly 50 good 4
charter as the Davis bill Ii is important,
therefore, that we lose no time in this mat
ter. A large part of the legislative session
has passed, and if anything is done it must
be quickly done.
