beads on long string for nearly three

A Balloonist,s Experience.

A party OF men at Squire Maus' office were

the balloons, parachutes and the artists who
occasionally do some lofty tumblng in connec-
ton Herewith, says the Cincinnati Tt ness ar

an aerial trip from a small town near Austin
one day, and was to make q parachute leap.
When at an altitude Of about 1000 fee. he sud.
denly remembered that his parachute was a
brand-ne one and had never been tested. Not
caring to risk the thing, he attached So
pound SACK OF sand (baliast) to the parachute
and cut 1t loose. AS he feared, the thing
failed TO work right and did not open
at all. The sand and parachute dropped
like . streak to the EARTH gaining
momentum with every foot OF its descent until

Mr.. Watson's Charge.

The committee appointed to investigate
the charge in Mr.. Watson's book, that
drunken men reel up the aisles of the House
and drunken speakers discuss grave issues,
did not have a chance to report to the
House, but the substance of its report has
been made public. The report is dead
against Mr.. Watson. The evidence pre-
scented to the committee did not SUI stain Mr..
Watson's charge. According to the report,
there is no such a condition of affairs in
congress as Mr.. Watson pictured.
1t is probable that Mr.. Watson did not
intend to say all that tho language in his
book means. If he did not he ought to
come forward and frankly say that he said
more than he meant. II he does not do

rhs snb-treasury Scheme.

lust before congress adjourned the ways
and means committee submitted report
adverse 10 the sub-treasury bill. II was
unanimous report showing that in the com
rnittee. composed Of some OF the ablest and
most conscientious men in the House, there's
only one opinion with respect TO it. The
report points out that the bill is not only
impracticable, but also unconstitutional.
The objections TO it are numerous, Any one
OF which is sufficient to condemn it.
It is unnecessary TO call attention to all
the objections which the committee
| points out. Reference to two or three Of
them will satisfy fair-minded men that
those who originated the sub-treasury
scheme either did not understand the full
scope and meaning Of 1t and the effect 1t
would have upon the material aud political
interests Of the country II IL should become
law. or, II they did. that they were MOI
80 DESTROYS Of promoting the public good as
they were of accomplishing a political OBJ
ject. 1t 10 only fair to assume, however
that they did not comprehend the scheme In
all its bearings, nor did they understand the
dangers which Turk in 1t.
1t is evident that great fluctuations In the
currency would follow its enactment. Those
fluctuations would introduce such uncer-
tainty in all business transactions that all
sorts OF Industrial enterprises and business
undertaking. would be INSTRUCTED.
1t is evident also that the operations Of
the bill could not be confined 20 the far
mers. They would have to be extended to
the producers of silver, iron, and all sorts of
manufactured articles No reason could be
given why farmers alone should be pro-
tected against a greater loss than 20 per
cent. on their products. The government
would soon handle the bulk OF all the
products Of she country aud would
have 20 employ vast army Of
officials. II would, In effect usurp the
functions Of citizsns and would do what yhe
people themselves should do. With such
number Of officials as would have to be en-
pIoyed an administration could keep itself
in power as long as it pleased.
The scheme would offer the greatest IN.
ducements to spectators because they
could carry vast amounts Of farm products
with very little money for which they
would have to pay the government only
nominal rate of interest, and as there
would be no provision for the redemption OF
the many millions Of notes that would be
issued there would soon be extraordinary
financial dlstur Dances.
But there Is no occasion for discussing
the scheme at length. There isn't the re-
hottest probability that it will ever again
engage the serious attention of a committee
Of congress 1t is virtually dead. Even al
liancemen would have no further use for 1t
If all the objections to it were carefully ex-
planned to them. The MORNING NEWS has
always insisted that it is impracticable and
that its enactment would be followed by a
condition OF affairs that would be extremely
injurious to the farmers.
