REED ON THE RULES.


The Ex-Commander of the House Brags
a Little and Condemns some of the new
Rules.
WASHINGTON, February 5.-After the
House this afternoon agreed to new
code OF rules, Ex-Speaker Reed was
sought out by al Associated Press re-
porter and asked TO talk upon the sub
ject. BE said:
THE withdrawal by the Louisiana
Lottery Of It's demand for new charter
is one of the triumphs of the Fifty-hrst
Congress. The country will remember
the promptness with which the House
Committee on Postoffices and Postroads,
under the chairmanship of Gen. Bing-
ham, even before the Presidents mes
sage on the subject, considered and on
the 2sth of July reported the DILL to de-
prive the Lottery the use Of the United
States mails.
"The Committee on Rules very soon
after set apart the 10th OF August for
its consideration by the House, and the
biz passed that body that day. Now
that the Supreme Court has sustained
the constitutionality of the act even the
LOlIcIy SOulpdBg IcCOSnlEcS tAO 4NN''lsy
Of It's future existence. The acts of the
Fifty-frst Congress are all standing
well the test of time"
With regard to the rules just adopted,
Mr.. Reed further said that 1.-THE princi-
pie OF responsible government in the
House has been more ruthlessly recog-
nized in that part OF the new regula-
tons relating to the power Of the com
mittee on rules than was ever dreamed
OF in the Fifty-First Congress. Power
to enforce the will Of the House was
lodged In important measures in that
committee 80 that party legislation
could have full swing while the bill Of
the individual members, even IL ap-
proved OF by the House, was left TO the
mercy Of the filibusterer.
THE right of present quorum had
been denied and the farce OF the MEM
Der present, for the purpose absent,
had been revived. All this, however,
time and the Supreme Court will take
care of, meanwhile it will be source
OF regret to the country that more lib
eral measures for the promotion Of in
nocent useful non partisan and neces-
sary legislation has not been adopted"

ADollar Nuptial Knot.
TiHisS Star

A nice looking couple entered the
Office of Court street magistrate some
time ago and signified their desire TO be
married. The genial squire quickly &C
commocated them, and when the SER
vice was over the groom handed his
honor an envelope, neatly sealed, and
from its stiffness evidently containing a
new crisp FIVE or tener. The smiling
magistrate bowed the happy couple out
and then invited the boys to the corner
to wash down their emotion in stronger
drink. At the corner dispensary an
other crowd Of 1.-THE boys" was enCoun-
tered. swelling the party to nineteen.
All called for amber encouragement,
aud the squire handed the artist back
of the counter the envelope, directing
him TO take it out of that. The artist
did so, handing the Court large, Juicy
nickel in return. The envelope con-
tanned brand new dollar bill.

The following resolutions were present.
ed and adopted by those present:
ReSOlUed, BY the people of JOhnstOwn
Vol -
meeting assembled, That TO those who
by their contributions gave us the
aid which fed us when we were
hungry, clothed us when we
were naked, miniStered to all
our needs and helped US TO re-establish
our homes; and to those who left their
business and families and came to en-
courage US when in despair, who with
sympathetic hearts and kindly hands
gathered out OF the tangled wreck our
dead and gave them burial; and who
day by day stood by us TO serve US
when we were surrounded by desOla-
ton, We give our thanks with grateful
ness that cannot be expressed in words,
and we invoke for them as their reward
a greater than any earthly blessing.
RESOLVED, That as an appropriate and
enduring memorial of the worlds char
ity to Johnstown, the people Of the
Conemaugh Valley, its corporations,
firms and individuals will contribute
their respective income, earnings, wages
or profits for al least one day, selecting
the 3lst day Of May, 1892, to fund to
be spent by a proper representative
committee in the erection upon the
public square of group Of statuary by
an American sculptor, which will fitly
symbolic and express the worlds great
goodness and our gratitude, and which
will stand as an inspiration to good
deeds during coming centuries of time.

stronghold plainly into view. For OF
the Ssl, 36s, 459 cash balance which Mr..
FOSTER reports, there is nearly SIS, 0O0,-
600 in subsidiary silver, minor coins and
fractional currency which cannot be
used in the payment Of public debts,
and more than $1,000, 900 on deposit in
national banks where it is not immedi-
ately available; leaving less than mil
lion and a half on which the govern
ment can draw.
The rapidity with which the Treas
ury has been brought to this condition
is noticeable. Five months ago, Septem-
Der l, 1891, the cash balance was re-
ported as $50, 274,394. In those five
months nearly $4,000, 600 has disap-
peared. But for Mr.. FosTER's original
system of bookkeeping, deficit would
appear.
Another significant feature Of the
Treasury statement is the increase Of
the aggregate debt. ms, including
certificates and Treasury notes." is
s26, 9s4, 500 during the month Of jan
uary.
Looking at the relation Of receipts
and expenditures, it is seen that the
government has paid out five millions
more than it received during the past
month; and this does not include any Of
the hills for the great naval prepare
tions for Mr.. HABRIsoN's war with
Chile.
Yet, in the face of this evidence Of
the impoverishment of the Treasury by
the Billion Dollar Congress and three
years of extravagant Republican admin
istration, there are Republican journals
which sheer at the enforced economy Of
the Democratic Congress as cheese

RAsCALLY POsTMAsTERS.

It's a very grave charge which our
esteemed prohibition contemporary, the
New York Voice, brings against the
PostoGice Department, or, rather,
against large number Of Mr.. HAREI-
SONS and Mr.. WANANlAEEE's APP
poiutees.
1t appears that Voices sent free to
prchibitionist farmers have not been de-
Nvered, but have been returned marked
'.Not called for" or 'Ordered stopped, -
etc. These returns became so numerous
and we're so inexpicable that the Voice
instituted a quiet investigation into the
matter. First 10 sent letters to these
farmers inQuirirg why they did not cal.
for their papers. The letters were I'm
envelopes bearing the stamp Of the
Voice. The letters, also were returned
marked mot called for or were de-
stroyed, Then the same letters in plain
envelopes Of different sizes and colors,
addressed In different hands and mailed
from different places were sent TO the
farmers who had ''failed 70 receive
their papers. This ruse ELECTED a flood
Of responses which proves that the
papers IN question were never delivered
or offered 20 the persons TO whom they
were addressed.
The Voice has laid the matter and the
correspondence before the Postmaster
General and they furnish a fine oppor-
tunity possibly for Mr. WANAMAKEE to
put a lot OF his sub-ordinates in prison.
If the Voice would extend its investi-
CATION to every State in the Union it
might present Mr.. WANAMAEEB with a
volume Of testimony which would re-
ouire week TO read. a Republican
postmaster within a mile Of Wheeling,
the story goes, used always to throw
the Voice pack away as soon as it came
and without opening it.
