It is true that Gresham and the China

they M may concoet between them cannot go
into effect till il is ratified By two-thirds of
quorum of the Senate and approved by
the President But their Recommendation
will have great weight. This sdministra-
ton, however, cannot force Congress into
the background on every question.

A SERIES OF CONGRESSES.

A series of congresses, which Is pro-
posed as one of the intellectual features OF
the Midwinter Fair, would seem less
formidable under the plain heading of
meetings. They will be rather the kinder
gardens of legislative bodies than iegisla-
tive bodies in themselves. They will OF
have power TO do anything except to pre-
pare the public mind to do something.
They are intended to instruct rather than
act. Men and women with ideas will meet
and compare notes. The man who takes a
leading part in a mining congress will
become a listener when the agricultural
congress is in session. The horticulturIst,
the vitieultnrist aud the manufacturer can
enlighten each other. In this way the
followers of one pursuit will become i'm.
bued with an idea of the importance of
some other pursuit. II is not too much to
hope that friendly conference of mining
men with farmers would direct thought
into a channel which would furnish a solu-
ton OF the mining problem. II these meet
ings should be called at an ordinary time,
when 10 other attractions 10 visit the city
we're offered. they would be sparsely at
tended. The men most wanted might not
be present. But during the period of the
fair there would be no lack of attend
ance. We assume that each congress
would be given date which would enable
our visitors from the interior to attend
any one or more, as might De convenient
A circular which has reached THE CALL
says:
There might be a congress OF religion, an
educational congress, congress OF charities
and correction, temperance congress, and OF
any other interest, intellectual, social or moral
that might wish to be represented.
We can conceive that happy results
would flow from a congress OF charities.
Perhaps there is no other field OF human
activity In which there is so much ILL
directed energy combined with so much
intelligence and goodness of heart Char
ity as now administered is largely matter
Of impulse. 1t gives bountifuIly to one
and withholds from another. Il runs in
grooves, and TO an extent on mistaken
principles. An example may DO cited in
the person of a chartably disposed young
lady who declined CO stly bouquet gen.
tleman friend offered to purchase on the
ground that Ii was a pity 20 waste so
much money when there were so many in
want of food. But" replied the gentle
man, ''the dollar you spend for & wers

give in charity. The one works for ais
part of the dollar. While the other is con-
hrmed in idleness By being fed" The

THOSE NEW BOILERS.
The Result of a Conference i'm the
MayOr'S Office.

There was a conference in the Mayors
Office yesterday at WHICH were present
the members of the City Hall Commission.
Supervisor Duudon, Architect Shea and
Mr.. Ames of the Union Iron Works. The
object OF the meeting was to discuss the
character of the new boilers for the City
Hall.
Supervisor Dundon gave his views as an
expert on boilers, aud Mr.. Ames did
likewise.
The conclusion reached was that two
boilers OF 100 horsepower, based upon an
evaporation of thirty pounds OF water an
hour, should be placed in the hall. These
would furnish all the power necessary for
the elevators. the heating apparatus and
for running an electric plant for lighting
purposes.
Architect Shea was instructed to pre-
pare plans and specifications on this basis,
and these Will be adopted and ordered
published on Saturday, when bids will be
