to oil these he opened not his mouth,

His next issue contained language

WASHINGTON d. g. Jan. 20, 1890.
Mr.. Harrison has sprung another
Edglish idea on the country in the
shape of government measure to be
pushed before Congress. His pre-
decessors have contented themselves
with recommending what they
thought ought to be done, and leav-
ing the rest to Congress, but in the
case of the silver bill to day intro
duced in the House the English idea
of legislation has been strictly follow
cd. The bill was prepared by Secre-
tary Window, submitted to the cabi-
net and the President, approved by
the latter and majority of the form
er, and is now introduced in the
House rs an administration measure.
Now if Mr.. Window could only be
admitted to the floor of the House to
champion the measure the whole
proceeding would be entirely Eng
lish
There was a lively time in the room
of the House committee on Reform
in the Civil Service this morning,
caused by a discussion before that
committee on the merits of the pres
ent Civil Service law. Opposed to
the law were Representatives Houck
and Ewart, and favoring it the Civil
Service Commissioners. The law re-
ceived some very hard knocks, but If
the private claim of the Commission
ers-that a majority of the commit
tee is pledged to them-is true, moth
ing is likely to come of them.
The bill admitting Wyoming has
been favorably reported by the Sen
ate committee on Territories, and
the same committee has decided to
lay aside the bill for the admission
of Idaho until the Supreme Court
decides a case now before it. affecting
the constitutlonality of the constitu-
ton recently adopted by the people
of that territory.

soul, good sir, about that "bog and

able article is as follows:
The city is in condition TO do but
one thing. The bonding the city to
build school house would postpone
all efficient street improvement and
leave us in the bog indefnitely--tht
bonding for street improvement
necessarily postpones the fine schoo
house.
This, like nearly everything else il
the article, is perversion OF fact
The building OF suitable public
school house would not postpone al
