THE SURPLUS RESOLUTION AND
THE TRADE DOLLAR.

The Senate has finally passed roso.
luton based upon the Morrison sur
plus scheme that means something, but
1t is something that the original reso.
luton never touched upon at all. In
the Senate's resolution there is pro-
vision that for six months after its
passage the pestiferous trade dollars, If
not mutilated or dcfaced, shall be re-
ceived at their face value in payment of
all dues to the Government and shall
not again be paid out. This is very
good provision. Something like 1t
should have been enacted long ago.
Never since the hybrid trade dollar
was issued has 1t been n satisfactory
coin, except when used for what 1t was
really intendcd-that is, in trade with
China 1t has never been legal ten
der, and when 1t got into circulation
in this country 1t became bother, and
in thousands of instances loss to
those who handled 1t legitimately.
While 1t contained more silver than
the standard dollar, 1t was never, ex-
cept for short time, at par In the
United States, simply because 1t was
rot q legal tender.
The equivocal position it occupied
was seized upon by spectators. Every
once and while they would organize
raid on the trade dollar and run 1t
down as low as eighty cents. Then
they would buy in the coin, cease the
raid and begin to "bull' it, In this
way they have made various see-saws
and q great deal of money. 1t is
strange that sleepy old Philadelphia
should have been the headquarters of
these trade dollar pirates; but 1t is
stranger still that the Congress of the
United States should have allowed the
trade dollar to occupy such an uncer-
tain position as to make such raids so
long possible.
The fate of the resolution as n whole
at the other end of the Capitol is Of
course in grave doubt. Originally it
was measure directly antagonistic to
the known financial policy of the Ad-
ministration. Shorn of some of the
features considered Objectionable by
the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment, 1t comes from the Senate quite a
different affair. The leadership of the
Democratic party IS neither so effective
nor aggressive in the Senate as it is in
the House.
Under the resolution as it stands the
Secretary Of the Treasury must, while
retaining at his discretion a working
balance of $4,000, 600, pay out not
less than S10,00O,000 monthly on the
redemption Of United States bonds
whenever the surplus in the Treasury
shall amount to more than 800, ,O00,-
600. At the same time the President,
whenever he sees tit, may suspend the
operations of the resolution alto ogether.
This leaves the management of the
public debt entirely in the hands of the
Administration and mitigates to som1
extent the charge so freely made, that
the resolution was intended as n de
liberate rebuke to the Presidents llnan.
cial policy. The President should
certainly be satisfied with being allowed
to do as he pleases What Mr.. Morri-
son thinks of his emasculated resolution
is another thing.

unanimity this morning the resolution
for the appointment of committee of
Senators to report at the next session
of Congress a plan to properly cele-

the adoption of the Constitution of the
United States and of the discovery of
America. This action Of the Senate
will arouse the patriotism of the people
throughout the land, and we predict
these grand historical events will be

ONE of the most important of the
duties devolving upon the District
Commissioners is the suppression of
public nuisances; and one of the great
est public nuisanccs in this beautiful
city of ours is caused by the sweeping
of the streets. The sweeping is done
In satisfactory manner, hut the ma
chimes are put to work at an hour when
they ought not to be; and the circum-
ambient atmosphere Is laden with in
gradients that not only offend the sense
of smell, but fill the ears, eyes
and garments with stuff that
is irritating, binding, disgusting and
damaging. Take, for instance, last
night and nights that have gone before
The majority of the patrons of the two
theatres during the summer are ladies,
and nearly every one of them goes

ing white garments. Yet 1t is by no
means an unusual thing for them to
emerge from the theatres right into the
whirlwind of dirt and manure which
is SO energetically thrashed around by
the industrious street.sweeper. 1t
spoils the whole evenings enjoyment
to be greeted by such shower as the
sweeping machines stir up. And it is
not alone on the Avenue, but on the
other principal streets that the deadly
machine gets in its work at an untimely
hour. In no other city of any import
ance are the contractors for sweeping
the streets allowed to commence work
until after IL O. clock, and it should be
so here.

farce, and it should be abolished. He says
the way the Senators tore around the
Chamber and shook their fists and yelled,
"Put bin out !" "Hang him ~ "Tar and
feather him ~ and all that sort of stuff,
was extremely undgui1ed, and it is not
matter Of surprise to him that they do not
wish the public to see them acting so

pretty Miss Woodford has practically
gone to pieces, and the Dwyer Brothers,
who own her, say 1t Is very improbable
that she will ever again appear on the
turf. Miss Woodford will go to the
breeding. farm, while Maud $. will con
tinuo to astonish the world by the
rapidity with which she can spin a
sulky with man In 1t around a mile
track.
1t is the breeding and training of the
horses that makes their history what
1t is. Maud s. is by no means thor.
oughbrod. She has good blood in her,
but her lineage is not pure. In early
life she did some rough and tumble
work, and II has only been of late years
that she has been treated as If she were
worth her weight in diamonds.
Miss WOodford's ancestry is stain
less. Ever since she was a colt she has
been carrying golden spoon In her
mouth and she has been trained inces-
sanity with the one idea in view, that Of
speed Naturally high strung but gen
tie, every means known to the cx-
perienccd horse trainer has been used
TO develop the speed born in her. And
it was developed only that she should
repeat the history of famous runners
that have gone before her, which Is
retirement after two or three seasons
of the greatest brilliancy.
To develop the running horse so
that all the speed that Is in him may be
brought out is fatal to long mainte-
nance of his powers after the object
aimed at has been obtained. The trot-
ting horse is not full. kloodcd, and
therefore not as delicate and he is not
as finely trained. Thus 1t is that Maud
S. continues steadily to be the queen of
trotters, while phenomenal runners go
by her in yearly procession, not to be
heard from again. Maud S. is not as
high.to as the aristocratic flyer, but
she holds her own and has more fun.

he continued with benevolent smile.

"Correct," he said, pleasantly.
"And now, children, who made God ?"
This was a poser, and the school was
silent for full minute, when small hand
belonging to the postmaster's small boy
went up.
"Ah, my boy" smiled the catechizcr,
"you can answer, can you? Well, now,
