given the House for holding back appropriation
bills will undoubtedly have good effect. The
delay in the passage of appropriation bills in the
House is premeditated and has double pur.
pose. First, these bills are held back to control
legislation, as appropriation has the right of
way at any time, and take any other
measure off the floor. Second, the withholding
of them till the last moment often results 10
securing concessions from the Senate which
could not be secured by any other means.
Heretofore the Senate has been willing to push
tho bills through hurriedIy and make many
allowances rather than delay and make Is
necessary to extend current appropriations as
was done by joint resolution last week.
No excuse can be made for the delay of the
appropriations in this Congress. Without any
Inconvenience or trouble every bill could have
been ready for the Presidents signature month
or six weeks ago. But the House committee on
appropriations has labored zealouslv to delay
matters. more for the purpose of impressinc tho
country with the alleged unwisdom Of dividing
the appropriation bills by the adoption Of new
rules than anything else All sensible and honest
men praise the action of Senator Beck and tho
President in reading the riot act to their
party for its vicious delays.

Possibility that New Money Plan May Be
Sprung on the Country.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHI NGToN. July 5.-A feeling is growing in
congressional circles that some such scheme as
Mr.. Morrison proposes will be adopted one of
these days, by which the country will be flooded
with money and the doors of the national banks
made to bang. He proposes to keep the surplus
in the Treasury at not over 500, 900 900, and to
call in bonds representing the interest~bearing
with all in excess of that amount. This would
at once throw something like $40. 900. 900 on the
country and decrease the capital stock of ma
tional banks to the extent of perhaps two thirds
the amount. This, of course, contemplates some
other basis of security for national banks-a
cash deposit or y per cent bond exclusively for
the banks.
1t has come to the time already when govern
ment bonds are an impracticable inve stment for
idle money. The premium is too great and fuc
tuatng and their liability to be called in too
constant. With money in government bonds
the nvester is only sure of one thing after the
date at which they may be redeemed has pass ed
he is sure of the face value.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest problems to
be before Congress during the next few years is
the security for national banks. and the collater
al reduction of the national debt" said an old
financier in the Senate, to-day. THE time is
here when We must pay the debt and at the
same time afford more practicable and an in
creased manner Of security for national banks.

Suecial TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 5.-In discussing clauses
of the srndry civil bill relating to the geological
survey, and the men employed in scientific work
in that bureau, the Holman stamp Of reformers
in the House took occasion to say. as frequently
as possible, that these men were altogether too
well paid. They thought that s., 900 to s., 400 a
year for scientific work was altogether out of
proportion, and they endeavored repeatedly to
get these salaries cut down. Unfortunately for
them, however, their own act in making new
rules, early in the session, made it impossible for
them to carI& on 81 the&f endeavors in this direc-
ton, and the salaries remain as they were last
year. In this connection it is interesting to
know that three of the best men employed In
the geological survey have been called out
to take positions in other institutions. Prof.

GENERAL HUNTERS WIDOW.

The Presidents Reasons for Vetoing the
Bill Granting Her Pension.
Special to the indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON. July 5.-Among the bills which
the President vetoed recently was one granting
pension of $50 month to Mrs. Maria Hunter
widow of the late Maior-aeneral David Hunter.
The President vetoed this bill on tho ground
that her claim was still pending in the Pension
Office, and he had no doubt that justice would
be done her there. Under the law. the Pension
Office cannot grant more than $50 month to
any widow and for this reason the friends Of
Mrs. Hunter asked Congress to give her the Gus
present time, to all the widows of general Of
ficers or those ranking with them in the
navy or army. Then, too, the President did not
decline to sign the bill pensioning Mrs Honcock
at So 600 year, and has signed every other bill
of this character that has yet been presented to
him. In this connection it may be worth while
to remember that MAJOR general Hunter was
equal in rank to Major general Scott; that he
served in the United States army for fifty years,
and took prominent part in the Mexican war,
the Indian wars. and the war of the Rebellion,
and. despite of the fact that he was Vrginian
by birth and Southerner at heart. he was loyal
to his country and fought nobly for her cause.
Then, too he was chosen as president OF the
court martial which tried Fitz John Porter, and
the men in Congress who voted against that
officer seem to think that there is some connec-
tion between this latter fact and the Presidents
action in vetoing the bill for Mrs. Hunters re-

BYNUN AND PY7HIAS

Bynum was a Pythagorean
philosopher from the Second
ward, memorable for his friend
ship with Pythias. You don't
often find such friendship as
existed between Bynum and
Pythias. When condemned to
death by Dionysius, the tyrant
Of Syra-Coy-se, for having
queered the rump convention
from the Seventh congressional
district, Bynum begged the
privilege of running down to
the capital to arrange matters
and do some bracing up. This
required bail, and as Bailey
must have, he arranged with
Pythias, who agreed to take a
place on the ticket and suffer
death himself in case Bynum
did not get back in time, By
mum beingpositiveth that he could
get backing-time. You all re-
member the story, how dark it
looked for Pythias, and By
mum, too, for that matter, and
how Dionysius, of SYRIA a-Coy-se,
astonished and filled with adj
miration at the remarkable in
timacy and attachment exhib-
tied by these friends, consented
to pardon Bynum and Pythias,
and take both names off from
the ticket. We were so young
when this happened that some
of the details of this historic
event may have escaped our
memory. 1t couldn't have hap
pened in our day. Bynum
would have had a fan and one
of our Seersuckers, then Pyth
las would have got them also,
and then neither would have
cot on the ticket. That is the
way it looks to the

Interest Manifested in the Expeditions in
Charge of Lieutenant Schwatka
Special to the lndianspolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Much interest is taken
here in the prospective expedition of Lieutenant
Schwatka into Alaska in the interest of science
and history and the New York Times. A
feeling exists that the explorations of
this wonderful neck of the United States havs
been very superficial and limited. and that
Lieutenant Schwatka who gained celebrity as
an arctic explorer at the head of the Lady Frank
lin excursion, and who is a practical and deter
mined scientist will make very i'm portant dis.s
coveries. He is bent on gaining celebrity IN this
line and if thero is any chance for anyone he
vill embrace it.
The object of the exploration is to acquire
more definite information as to Aaskas Geolog-
ical, mineral and climatic conditions and re-
sources. To-day your spondent had talk
with Mr. John j. Major, a we-known chief en-
gineer, who has spent much time on the Pacinc
coast and in Mexico. who was engaged in the In
ternational survey to ascertain the boundary
line between Alaska and British Columbia, and
tho probable results of the exploration of Alaska
by this expedition were fully discussed.
I'm order to a proper survey or report, said
Mr. Major, "as contemplated, the party should
start in at Fort St Michaels, in Norton sonrd,
going thence to the Aphon. one of the deltas Oi

Akitoick village on Behring sea, being about
thirty-6ve miles north of ST. Michaels."

ductive of splendid results. Next to Mr.. Major
