BANKS AND BANKING.
Congressman Dorsey's Bill for Increas
ing the Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house COM
mittee on banking and currency today
adopted a resolution to request the
house to set apart day for the con-
sideration and disposition of Chairman
Dorsey's bill to reduce to $1,000 the min
imum amount of United States bonds
which national bank shall be required
to keep on deposit, and to permit the
issue of circulating notes by national
banks to the full amount OF the par
value of the bonds deposited. This
would, it is said, increase the amount OF
money in circulation, by SIS, 900, 900, and
would result in freer issue of national
bank notes.
When the bill comes up in the house,
Chairman Dorsey will move an amend
ment to provide for the issue of green
backs whenever the national bank cir
culation falls below $l85, 100000.
Morrill, of Kansas was authorized to
report favorably the bill to subject
national bank and United States treas
ury notes to state taxation.
Dorsey speaking of the situation, said /:
THE circulating medium of the country
is too small, but we could get along as
we did before, if confidence could be re-
stored, and we hope to do that and in
crease our circulation somewhat by the
bill we will call up. The
banks all have twice as much
money in their vaults as they
formerly carried. The big banks won't
discount our bills, and we have to pro-
tect ourselves. Then a great deal of
money has been taken out of the banks
by people who have become alarmed
at the course OF legislation, and have
locked their money in safe deposits. A
great deal of money has been sent
abroad to buy consols. Only the other
day man told me he had 81 ,O0O 900,
about all he had, in English consols. OF
course, it is foolish, but the people are
alarmed"

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Lack of a Quorum Causes an Early
Adjournment.

Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house, to-
day, on motion of McKenna of California,
passed the senate bill appropriating
$4,000 to reimburse Charles FELTON,,
formerly assistant treasurer at San Fran
cisco, for losses incurred in the payment
of forged checks.
After some important business the
house went into committee of the whole
on the notifications appropriation bill.
In the morning hour, Taylor of Ohio,
from the committee on judiciary, called
up and the house passed the bill amend
ing the revised statutes. The amend
ment provides penalty for any person
having custody of the ballots and re-
turns after elections are held, who shall
alter such returns, alter or erase the
name of any candidate from any ballots
in his custody, or shall in any way tear
or deface the same with intent to affect
the result of such election.
The house took up the bill to amend
the Utah law, providing that personal
property formerly belonging to the Nor
mon church, but which was forfeited by
congress and placed in the hands of a
receiver, shall be placed in the commop
school fund of the territory of Utah,
which was the disposition made OF the
real estate held by the church. With
out completing its consideration, the
house laid it aside as unfinished bust
ness, and went into committee of the
whole on bills reported from the public
land committee.
Payson called up the bill to indemnify
the purchasers of swamp lands and re-
imburse several states for lands due
them under the swamp lands act. After
discussion, the committee rose to close
the debate, but Holman raised the point
OF no quorum, and the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-In the senate,
today, Mitchell offered resolution
(agreed to) instructing the postoffice
committee to inquire into the feasibility
and advisability of law for postal saw
ings banks in connection with all of GER
tain classes of postoffices throughout
the country.
The resolution offered yesterday for
the daily meeting of the senate at IL a.
M, and for recess from to s 80 p. M,
was taken up. The discussion was kept
up amid considerable excitement on the
floor, until 2 O'Clock, when it was laid
over without action, and the elections
bill was then taken up. Wilson, ofIowa,
addressed the senate in its advocacy.
He said the question which confronted
congress was one of duty. In several
states, not only the right of Individual
citizens had been outraged, but the
equality of the states in the matter of
representation had been denied. Thus
Mississippi and South Carolina, with
vote of 191, ,129, sent fourteen members to
the house of representatives, while Iowa,
with a voting population of 293, ,255 sent
but eleven members. The people of the
country could not believe that the peo-
pie of Mississippi and South Carolina
were as free to use the ballot as the
people of Iowa. Nor would the people
be content until absolute safety was
assured to citizens in the use of the bal
lot, and until fairness and good faith was
shown in counting the same in every
state. No more important subject COM
manded the attention of the people.
Frye said the pending bill was not
one-tenth part stringent enough. If in
order to secure the right of an American
citizen to freely cast his ballot and have
it counted as cast, it was necessary to
put bayonet behind every ballot, he
would do SO. [Applause and misses in
the gallery, which were promptly sup
pressed.
Daniel commented on Frye's declara
ton, saying it was not the conception of
the republic which its founders had, and
was not the conception of the republic
the American people had today.

CAPITAL CULLINGS.
Applications For Pensions Not So Nu
merous as Expected.

~APPAA""vAVos Va Vp5AvMH SNOp Nv ~ Nu :
merous as Expected.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1I.-Morrill, chair
man of the house committee on invalid
pensions, today received a note from the
pension commission, which has just
corded under the new act. showing ILL.,
946 original invalid claims. 55,321
original widows claims and 29S, $3.50
claims filed by old claimants. This gives
only about 227 900 new claims filed un-
der the late law. Morrill, regards this
statement as an evidence that the ex-
penditures for pensions under the new
act will be much less than anticipated.
A PREVENTION FOR HOG CHOLERA.
The annual report of the bureau of
animal industry says, with the ultimate
object in view OF discovering some
method of preventing disease in swine,
the bureau has endeavored to produce
artifcially drug which would have the
same composition and effect as bacterial
products. These researches have been
in the main successful, and the report
claims that a substance has been pro-
duced which not only resembles the
bacterial product of the hog cholera

MERCHANT MARINE BILLS.
The house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries has virtually agreed
upon bill as substitute for the senate
tonnage and subsidy-shipping bills.
Formal action will be taken by the COM
mittee probably tomorrow, and assur-
ances have been given by members OF
the rules committee that an early oppor-
tunity will be afforded for action on the
bill in the house.
EDUCATION FOR ALASKA.
Senator Dawes today reported favora-
bly, from the committee on Indian af-
fairs, bill appropriating 100000 the

tary and industrial education of children

A DOLLS WEDDING.
A Novel and Interesting Holiday Ex-
hibition.

N1Dlt1Ou.
The young ladies of Emmanuel Presby-
terian church will open novel holiday
free exhibition and sale in the northern
most store of Potomac block, Broadway,
near Second street, tomorrow. They
have been foi several weeks busily en-
gagged in dressing dolls in the richest
costumes, and making up great variety
of fancy and useful holiday articles
which will be arranged in the room with
artistic taste. The principal feature will
be the wedding OF two magniicently
dressed dolls. They will be attended by
bridesmaids in elaborate toilettes, and
grooms with stunning suits. 1t will be
realistic tableau of marriage in high
life. The proceeds of the sales will be
devoted to the fund the ladies have
pledged themselves to raise for the inte-
rior furnishings of the splendid new
church of the congregation, now nearly
finished. We have no doubt the exhi-
bition will be literally patronized, as the
object is one that appeals to all.

WRAPPING PAPER.
The Price Advanced and a Shut Down
Ordered.

Ordered.
CHICAGO, Dec. ia meeting of the
Western Wrapping Paper Mill associa-
tion was held here today. The meeting
decided that the entire product of the
mills in the association should be sold
by an agents organization, instead of
by statesmen of individual mills. All of
the mills will shut down one week the
latter part of this month. The associa-
ton voted an advance of five cents per
hundred pounds in the price of all pa
per.
In discussing the shut down, Judge
Kingman of Cedar Falls, Iowa, stated
that Iowa had very strict law covering
trusts, and he feared should the Iowans
comply with the spirit of such action as
proposed, it would be construed in vio-
lation of the law, and the penitentiary
stared the unlawful proceedings in the
face.
Chairman Castle, however, said the
dealers recently declared that the organ
ization could not hold together thirty
days longer. To teach the dealers a
lesson, shut down was the most effect
i've, and one was accordingly ordered.

THE THUNDERER'S OPINION.
American Money Matters Judged to B,
Badly MuddIed.

Badly MuddIed.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times says: :
The whole monetary system in the
United States is in muddle This con-
dition is due to piecemeal legislation by
unprincipled legislators. Unfortunately,
instead Of there being signs OF an i'm
provement, it looks likely that further
attempts will be made to legislate in
favor of particular classes. The most
ominous of these attempts is the de-
mand of the Farmers Alliance for more
currency, and that national banks be
compelled to lend money on security of
real estate. If the latter demand is ever
granted, America will be launched on
the dangerous path which the Argentine
Republic has trod. The present crisis
is of an ordinary character, but made
worse by foolish monetary arrange
ments, the only safe cure for it is
liquidation.

ITO BE Thrilled. I"

There is no prOphesying what sreaks smart
society may not indulge in next in its in
satiable craving for "thrill.' $50 be
thrilled" pretty well summarizes the
modern girls notion Of happiness, and
complete felicity, were such thing
within reach, would be best attained
by an uninterrupted and neyer-ceas-
ing series of "thrills." Needless to add
that the faded and pampercd appetite,
like that ola spoiled child, becomes ever
more and more difficult TO satisfy until, in
the search of a new sensation, we come 10
smart women riding astride, keeping stores,
mimickng the demi-mOnde, smoking cigar
cites in public, and doing the hundred and
one things which bring forth the denuncla-
tons Of Mrs. Lynn Linton and her school.
For all this, and for much more besides,
the person most TO blame is the young mar
ried woman, for II is she who rules society
nowadays. "Flirt as much as YOU like
when YOU are married, but don't spoil your
chances Of matrim0ny by flirting now" a
worldly wise, matchmaking mother was
overheard one day saying to her pretty
daughter. and the cynical advice seems 10
have been taken 10 heart by many girl in
London society, besides the one 10 whom
the remark was addressed. The emancipa-
ton of the female sex, like every other good
thing in the world, has its little drawbacks,
and one Of the most unfortunate Of its re-
suits is the misuse to which only too many
women in society put their newly born indie
dence. The old barriers of prejudice and
cOnyentionality have been thrown down
and the new barriers Of common sense and
natural prOpriety have not been firmly
erected ia their place. This, and the CON
slant intrusion of nouyeaux riches within
the circles Of what is known as London So
cety, has resulted in certain amount of
social anarchy, which may alarm those
good old fashioned folks who do not realize
that We are passing through an inevitable
stage Of transition. Philadelphia Times.
