THE DUSTIN CASE.
The New York Press on the Presi-
dents Message,

NEW YORK, March 3.-The Sun in
an editorial upon the message of the
President to the Senate upon the Dus-
tin case says: "He speaks with no
uncertain sound. There is much more
assertion of the personality of the
writer than is usual in public docu-
ments in free land, indeed there is
something OF arrogance in the whole
tone of the paper. There is sarcasm,
and there is bitterness, at the same
time the earnest purpose OF the Presi-
dent to do right as he understands it
is evident throughout. We have no
disposition TO question his motives,
but we seriously doubt the correct.
ness OF some Of the opinions by which
he proposes to be guided. The right
of the President to keep or destroy
private or confidential communica-
tons will be disputed by no one.
When, however, he places a paper in
public office, his own act stamps it
as a document of public importance,
and thenceforth its contents should be
accessible to the representatives of the
people'or eny one else having legiti-
mate interest in it."
The World says: "Now that the
President frankly admits that the
Senate has constitutional right to
all public documents, and that public
papers are public property, the prin-
ciple, as such, is settled and removed.
The only question now remaining lie
why the President should put his pri-
vate, confidential papers upon the
files Of the Department of Justice?n

In the Committee.Rooms.

Before the Ways and Means Com.
mittee to-day, George Hey, manager
OF the American Silk Label Manuiac.
turing Company Of New York, made a
brief argument in favor OF the classifi-
cation OF silk labels and an increased
duty, or reduction OF duty on the
$3.50" cotton from which the label is
made. Mr.. Morrison inquired if the
high duty on the yarn did not prevent
him from competing with foreign pro-
duct. MIR. Hey replied in the affirma-
tive, and Mr.. Morrison added: "Well,
l propose to reduce the duty on yarn
30 that you can 90 on with your bust
ness"
The Senate Committee on Expen-
diture of Public Money met to-day to
make arrangements for the beginning
OF its investigation Of the charges BY
Commissioner of Pensions Black in
his annual report, to the effect that
the Pension Office had been conducted
asa political machine under the Re-
publican administration. Senators
Cullom, Harrison, Plat, Beck and
Kenna were present. 1t was decid ed
that for the present at least the inves-
legations should be conducted by the
whole committee instead OF delegating
the work to a subcommittee. Rules
governing the examination OF wit
nesses were adopted, and it was agreed
that Gen. Black should be summoned
to appear before the committee next
Wednesday as the first witness.
Mr.. Storey, attorney for the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, made
statement 10 the House Committee on
Pacific Railways in regard to the in
debtedness OF that company. He
favored some such provision as was
incorporated in the Hoar bill-a fixed
annual payment to the government
instead of variable percentage. Mr..
Storey dwelt at length upon the inn
portance of the branch lines, saying
the stocks and bonds based upon the
amount to $50, 100000 cash. Besides
these stocks the company held a
number OF other securities that it
would be willing to turn over to the
government.
Mr.. Tweed, counsel for the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, also ex-
planned to the committee the finan-
cial condition of that company.
Mr.. Gardiner G. Hubbard addressed
the House Committee on Pestoffices
and Postroads to-day in favor Of a con-
tract between the government and
some telegraph company for the trans
mission OF telegrams.
The House Committee ON Banking
and Currency agreed to the Senate
amendment to the bill authorizing ma
tional banks to change their location.
The amendment limits the distance to
which a bank may remove to thirty
miles. The same committee has in
vited the Secretary of the Treasury
and United States Treasurer to appear
before it next Wednesday to exorefs
their views on the national currency.

may bear to each other, as shown by
the census of 1880. The foregoing pro-
vision shall not affect the application
OF the proper proportion of said money
TO the support OF all common schools
wherein no distinction OF race OF color
shall exist"
Senator Edmunds addressed the SEN
ate in support OF his amendment. As
to the bill itself, he said there was no
constitutional difficulty about it. No
constitution ever had said or could
say that no money should be with
drawn from the Treasury except in
pursuance of appropriations made by
law for specific purpose named in
some other part OF the constitution.
In every Congress bills would be
found to have been passed-and they
would be found TO have been approved
by the President - appropriating
moneys ftom the Treasury in one
form or another for objects not specifi
cslly named in any special clause OF
the constitution, aud for objects hav.
ing no possible relation to any of these
clauses. So Mr.. Edmunds had no
doubt OF the constitutionality of the
bill.
Senator Logan also spoke at length
in support of the bill
Senator Blair was willing to accept
Senator Edmunds's substitute for the
Allison amendment, and it was agreed
to.
Senator Do,ph moved to amend by
providing that the bill should not take
effect until two-thirds of the States
should accept its provisions. 1t was
rejected.
Senator Dolph called for the yea'
and nays on his amendment and
pending the call the Senate went into
executive session, aud when the doors
reopened adjourned.

Railroad FraDchises in New York.

New YORK, March 3.-In spite of
Billy Maloney's absence, a well or
ganized majority Of the board Of alder
men voted the consent Of the city yes
terdsy to the franchise for building a
variety of railroads to run through
nearly all the unoccupied streets of
the city. The work was put through
with system and persistence that
indicated preconcert, aud with a
logged obstinacy against which the
minority of the board could make no
headway. President Mooney and
Alderman Van Rensselaer, led the OPP
position and sought in vain, by va
rious parliamentary devices, to post
pone action. In this they were aided
by Alderman O'Neil. A vain effort
was made to secure for the city sale
of some of the franchises at public
auction or the imposition OF a larger
price than the statutory minimum of
one per cent on the receipts for the
first three years.
