WORK OF CONGRESS.
Matters to be Considered by Both Houses
This Week,

matters TO DO COnsluereu by Both ltousei
This Week.
WASHINGTON, July 4,-The progra mme
outlined by the "steering committee" fol
the conduct Of business in the House dur,
ing the coming week Is made up Of appro'
priation bills, and land grant forfeiture
bills. When the House meets tomorrow
the Appropriation Committee will make
an effort to have the regular suspension
day passed over In order to continue con.
sideration OF the deficiency appropriation
bill. Before final action is reached on that
measure the FortiAcatlons appropriation
bill will have to be reached, and that meas
ure will have been placed on the calender.
AS theOOmmittee has cut down the ap-
preparations far below departmental est
imates in repairing that bill its considera.
tion In the House Ia likely to lead To
extended debate.
The Public Lands Committee expects 10
secure act ON upon some OF It's lRnd grant
forfeiture bills about the middle OF the
week, and towards its close 1t Ia probable
that while awaiting conference reports the
House may act upon the Reagan Inter
State Commerce bill and Mr.. Morrison's
"Surplus" resolution,
Two evenings will be allotted to the
Committee on Public Buildings, which
has bills apprOpriatlng $4,500000 in the
aggregate already on the calendar.
The time Of the Senate during the week
will probably be devoted to the River and
Harbor bill, the Naval appropriation bill,
and the Oleomargarins bill. The caucus
planned to devote day last week to ex.
ecutive business, but failed to carry out
It's purpose. Itis understood that the case
OF Solicitor General Goode, adversely re.
ported from the Judiciary Committee, is
the frst-and knottiest Of the problems
with which the executive body will at
tempt TO wrestle. The work may be at.

nErrRR ADJvsrMRNr OF VALUES.


There appears to be better adjustment
Of values prevalent than Tor some years
past, offering surer opportunities for a
profit in the transaction Of business. A
certain settled standard has succeeded the
shifting, unknown basis which has hith.
Ferto prevailed, and Is a powerful aid to
the establishment OF the confidence now
being gradually restored. The earning
power Of large corporations, whose securi.
ties are held widely throughout the coun.
try, such as railroads, manufacturing con.
Germs, banking, and other representative
institutions, is now apparently more as
sured than at this time last year. The
steady improvement In the railroad stu.
alton is the best indication In this direC-
tion, reports showing not only an in.
creased tonnage, but at rates that yield
fair returns. A more certain income for a
large class Of security holders may there
fore be relied upon, and q more settled
condition Of trade among this class Is
thereby rendered possible. There Is q
great increase in the class Of security hold
ers, and the number Of people in the
United States who now live upon the in.
terest OF their Investments and loans has
OF late years enormously Increased. What
ever contributes TO permRnency and Ger.
tainty Of income for this class helps gen.
eral trade now TO greater extent than
ever before. Hence, the cessation OF the
great railroad war, which, last year, we're
so destructive Of values, Is OF Importance
as indicating that the immense capital in.
vested in this means oi communication, Is
now likely to earn fair return, a matter
Of great importance 10 the general trade

Much criticism has been INDUCED in by
the President Of the methods Of legislation
pursued by the two houses Of Congress,
and however uniniormed he may be upon
the subject, and however unintentlonally,
by reason OF want OF knowledge, be may
have misrepresented TO the country the
methods Of legislation which have been
pursued In like cases ever since Congress
and Parliament have exlsted, and which
have, since Parliament became free, been
safe from Kingly and Presidential inau.
ence; all the same the people are misled
by the unwarrRnted statements OF the
President as to the manner in which leg.
islation upon pensions, claims and the
like is, and Of necessity must be, con-
Quoted.
The pension business OF the Senate has
never been better done than during this
session. Those members OF the committee
who have performed the most work have
been as careful as any, and derision OF their
patient, conscientious aud exhausting
iabors to help along these noblest and best
portions OF Gods poor and the country'H
beneiaCtors, can originate only In q wise
and noble nature which is misled, or In
one that II informed, sadly needs recon.
atruCtion or recreation.
The report imbodies copy Of instruc'
tons by the Assistant Secretary Of the In.
terror to the Commissioner Of Pensions, as
follows:
Please cause the same to be critically ex-
amined; and report to this department,
whether, In your opinion, any objections
10 their approval are known TO exist. In
cases where objections exist, they should
be specifically set forth.
This indicates, the committee says, til'
mistakably, that the President relies upon
the Commissioner for his facts. The re.

Some Timely Remarks.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The Senate Com
mittee on Pensions, in It's report recon-.
mending the passage over the Presidents
veto Of bill granting a pension to Mary
j. Nottage, says;
So great has been the number OF such
vetoes interposed by the present Execu.
tive, all within few weeks past, and 80
extraordinary the Censure, sometimes
rudely expressed, and In nearly every in.
stance severely applied, Of the action ol
the two Houses Of Congress and OF their
committees, upon which has devolved the
wearisome and generally unappreClated
labor Of investigating these claims, accom-.
panied In many cases by such ridiGule OF,
and evident disgust with, the claims them
selves, that your committee feel that they
are justified In a brief review OF the cir.
cumstanCes involved. In doing this q
strong effort will be made to restrain not
unnatural feeling Of indignation which, II
permitted TO assume the proportions
wbich the provocation justitiss, would
wholly destroy those respectful forms Of
expression which must be maintained In
official intercourse between the different
officers and departments Of the Govern.
ment. This becomes the more necessary
In proportion as 1t is rendered the more
difficult, by reason Of the unjust and un-
exsmpled style In which some OF the mes.
sages OF the President are expressed. II
shall be the effort oil the committee to get
on in this difficult matter without violating
an example which, 80 far as we are aware,
is without precedent, and which, 30 far as
we are concerned, shall remain so.
The committee proceeds to show that
~ perCent OF the Senate bills and only 81
percent OF the House bills submitted Ia
the President have been vetoed, and says
II is not insensible to the special con-
demnatlon which this disparaging con-
trast inllicts. II continues:

The Sun says of Mr.. Cleveland -
"More and more since his Inaugural
ton, and especially since the forma-
ton of his domestic administration,
must the idea of a second term be-
comes seductive and persuasive"
We are not so sure of that. Mr..
Cleveland has not had such an easy
time of it in the White House. But
even if it were so the democratic
convention in 1888, and not Mr..
Cleveland OF the Sam, will settle the
question who shall then be nominated
by the party for the presidency. Il
may be Mr.. Cleveland and it may
be-well, it may be any one of 6
dozen or twenty or thirty eminen
democratic statesmen.
Meantime we notice that Mr.
Blaine's appearance In Pennsylvania

journals. There are evidently re
publicaus who see that it is not wis
to do political party up in bundl

JERSEYS THIRSTY SOIL

Farmers in all parts of New Jer-
sey have great fear of water famine
and the cry for rain is universal.
The scarcity of water has been felt
for some time past. and in many
places has caused much suffering.
Wells that have hitherto been con-
sidered inexhaustible have become
dry and are abandoned for brooks
and small ponds by cattle owners
and others who require large supplies
of water. The ground is dry and
parched and the grass is withered.
The cattle are all in a bad condition.
Their sides are sunken and hidebound
and their milk-giving qualities ale
rapidly decreasing. New wells are
being driven and attempts are being
made to strike new water veins in
| the old ones. Owners of horses and
wagons are making small fortunes by
taking water from ponds, and ped
ding it about the country at a fixed
price per barrel. The late crops have
been seriously affected, and, besides
being stunted in growth, the vegeta-
bles lack nutriment.
| Besides the water famine the
farmers are harrassed by the fear oil
many forest fires which have beer
burning for nearly a week and have
done damage to the extent of thou
sands of dollars. For several miles
around Lincoln Park the woods are
on fire. and unless rain soon fall!
steadily for day or two an immense
amount of damage will result. Nor,
than one hundred men are fighting
the flames night and day, The fir
