caslons manifested their love for the |
common people. They are now so
anxious to furnish them cheap coal
and iron that they propose to import
the same from Europe. and thus save
all trouble in mining it. They also
propose to save the railroads the trou.
BILE Of handling these articles, 80 the
employees need not labor more than
three days each week. The factory
employees will also be favored in a
similar manner. They will thus have
plenty OF time to enjoy themselves.
Or course the cheap dinner kettles
will BE- duly looked after. The assess.
ors are also 30 anxious to save Repub-
licans the trouble OF paying coun ty
tax that they propose TO leave their
names OF the assessment list SO they
will have no trouble with the tax
collector. Out of pure kindness the
law was changed by the legis-
lature, 80 as TO save them
the trouble OF calling on Mr.. Dickey
in the evening. leaving them to enjoy
themselves instead Of botherlng with
such matter at an unreasonable hour.
And then NJ. Dickoy has occasionally
IN order to induce tax payers to save
their money, refused to take the tax
when rendered. Tie failure of the
assessor to spell names properlygives
him an opportunity to show his kind
ness. Indeed, In the past, we have
had many evidences of Democratic
love for the tax payers. A few years
ago constabies were so benevolent as
TO beat men over the heads with clubs
In order to keep them from getting
assessed. us they wished them to save
their money, and not render themsel-
YES liable TO be dunned to pay tax.
OF course these Dem ocrats were act
uated by pure benevOlence, a desire
to keep the peace, nnG theis Dem oerat-
&c friends applauded the.f acts.
Any Que with half an ego and a
single grain Of common ssnse, can see
how much better II would be TO leave
names Of the assessment let than
men should fight with Mr.. D.ckey, in
order to get tax reoslpls. The collec.

MIR, REED SMILED swEETLY
When He Found . Number of Nil
takes in the Journal.

When He Found q Number of Mis-
takes in the Journal.
Mr.. Reed of Maine Is having a little sport
with the democrats and taking his revenge
for a recent onslaught upon him. When
the rules were lately under consideration,
Mr. Anderson of West Virginia took occa-
sion one day to quote from the annals Of
the Fifty first Congress a number Of cases
where members had been counted by Mr..
Reed as being present when in fact they
were absent, some Of them testifying to
having been in the bath-tub at the time
they were counted. absent from the city. In
sick beds, &c. At the time Mr. Reed SEEM
ed to take Mr. Alderson's criticism very
much to heart, but explained that the Incl
dents cited were the result Of errors to
which frail human nature is sometimes
prone Mr.. Reed has been laying for
errors ever since.
Yesterday and today his opportunities
came. In the calls Of the House during the
past two or three days. there have been
an unusual number Of errors in recording
members and the members have risen upon
the floor to correct the Journal. As man af-
ter man arose to call attention to the mis-
takes Mr.. Reed smiled sweetly and rubbed
his hands with satisfaction. Then on each
day, when the mistakes were all corrected,
Mr. Reed arose in his place and, in the
tones. called the attention of the House to
the fact that errors can sometimes be made
by other Congresses than the Fifty-first.
The republicans laughed and Mr.. Reed
has been In unusually good humor for two
days.

the Race.
DETAILS OF THE CONTEST.

LONDON. Sept ls.-The Britannia has
won the Cape May cup. The Britannia I'm
ished at 12:5s4o The Navahoe crossed the
line at 1880.
Channel weather" is prevailing today
and this fact tended to very materially
abate the interest in the race for the Cage
May cup between the American yacht
Navahoe and the British cutter Britannia
which began yesterday
The course in this race was from a marx
boat anchored In Alum bay about two miles
from the Needles. the western extremity
Of the Isle Of Wight to and around the
breakwater at Cherbourg. France. and re-
turn, distance of 124 miles.
Everybody who went to see the start
except the Judges. the sailing committse
and few very enthusiastic yachtsmeh.
left Alum bay as soon as the yachts were
hull down and returned whence they came
The weather conditions were not favorabie
to fast sailing. the wind blowing a light
breeze from the southwest
The Britannia was the first away when
the starting gun was fired at 1880 pm,
crossing the line about three minutes ahead
Of the Navahoe. When the Britannia pass
ed the Needles lighthouse she was two mia
utes and thirty-eight seconds ahead, the
boats passing that point at the following
times: Britannia, l52.S7; Navahoe, l06.i5.
The Britannia was still well In the lead
when the yachts passed out Of sight head

A thick fog settled down over the chan
mel last night, shutting everything out ef
sight until about O'Clock this morning.
when Il began to get light The wind he'd
light during the night but having In mind
the wonderful time made by the yachts
in their race Tuesday for the Brenton o
Reef cup. many glasses were leveled sea-
ward in search Of the racers. There was no
sign of them. however, and the first heard
from them was contained I'm a dispatch
from Cherbourg. stating that they had been
sighted from the breakwater there head
ing in toward the western end OF the
breakwater at O'Clock in the morning.
Later, another dispatch was received stat
ing that the yachts had passed through the
foaostead. the Britannia far I'm the lead,
and that the Britannia had passed out
through the eastern passage at $40. At 20
the Navahoe went through the passage
and shaped her course for home There
was then a light northeasteriy wind &C

At 10 O'Clock the wind at the Needles was

TWO "BY REQUEST" BILLS.
One offered by Mr.. PETER, Who Indorses It
Partially.
The Other for q U. 8. Bank introduce
ed I'm the House by Mr.. Nor.
gan Of Missouri.

Here Is another Of Senator PETERS ''by
request schemes. The Kansas Senator
does not wholly indorse 1t, but says some
OF the ideas are good. The Secretary of
the Treasury is directed to purchase all
the silver bullion mined in the United
States that may be offered in lots of the
value OF not less than $100 each at its par
value OF N.2929 per ounce, less the usual
charge for coming, &C, that prevailed prior
to February IL. 1873 Gold or silver coin or
full legal tender United States notes, re-
deemable in gold or silver. may be en-
ployed in the purchase of this bullion and
when these notes are redeemed they are to
be reissued.
The silver bullion may be coined into dol
lars Of 4l2 1-2 grains as was done under the
act of January 1S 1887. or the bullion may
be cast into bars. the dollars to be legal
tender for any amount. This bill directs
the Secretary Of the Treasury to issue
eight times the value Of the bullion pur-
chased, IN legal tender notes. redeemable
IN gold or silver. provided that this new is
any one month, and shall continue for
three years. A provision attached to this
bill directs the government to loan money
on real estate to two-thirds of Its value at
an annual rate Of per cent, the principal
not to run longer than eight years.
United States Bank Proposed.
Another "by request bill offered in the
House by Mr.. Chas. H. Morgan of Missouri
proposes that United States bank shall
be opened in every town of 1000 inhabi-
tants. in which there is a post Office, by the
controller Of the currency, who shall ap-
point the board Of directors for the first
year, AfPeeaA1at they shall be chosen by
the ssto0khGo ~. but the postmaster shall
ex-ofcio besa director. The bank is to be
located as near the post ONCE as possible.
In the same or adjoining building II possi-

pounding, and the United States shall guar
antee payment Of deposits and interest.
The President and Vice President Speaker
ana controller OF the currency, or q ma jor-
ity Of them shall have power to change the
rate of interest to be paid on deposits. All
deposits and interest shall be exempt from
any form Of taxation and no part of the
deposits may be withdrawn by the deposi.or
within five years from the date Of deposit,
and then only on ninety days written TO
tice: but they may be transferred to the
credit Of any other person by check.
Loans shall be made by the banks at the
uniform rate Of 6 per cent. unless the rate
be changed by the controller Of the curren-
cy No loan shall be made to q foreign

THE HOUSE.

When the House met today it was appar-
ent that the democrats intended merely to
carry out their program Of attempting to
report the federal election bill That the
managers had come to the conclusion that
they could not secure q quorum today was
manifested by the poor attendance on the
democratic side.
Mr.. Tucker Va.) was early in his seat,
and was engaged in close consultation
with his lieutenants. The general of the
opposing army. Mr.. Burrows Cdich), was
also in the hall long before noon. suave and
alert.
There were exactly fifty democratic mem
bers In the chamber when the Speakers 9
gavel fell.
There were a few corrections made to the
Journal. which again gave Mr.. Reed of Maine
an opportunity to make some sarcastic ~e-
marks He called attention to the errors
made. He admitted that the House bad
never had q better clerks desk than 1t had
at present, but he called attention to the
other side from attacking republicans on
this point.
The journal having been approved Mr. En-
glish IN. j. asked unanimous consent for
the consideration Of a resolution recitilg
that the recent train robberies on inter-
state railroad lines showed that the United
States mails were in danger. and directing
the committee on interstate and foreign
Mr.. Kilgore CTex) objected.
The Filibustering Again Begins.
The Speaker directed the clerk to call the
committees for reports. but Mr.. Burrows
arose and in the Quietest tones and with
an air Of easy confidence that nobody could
possibly object to mis- proposition asked
unanimous consent that the call be dis
pensed with and that members having re.
ports to make should present them subiec,
to objection. Mr.. Burrows resumed his fee,
with we'll feigned surprise when Mr. Tucker
put his veto on the proposition, but imme-
diately arose again and moved that the call
be dispensed with. Mr.. Tucker called for
the yeas and nays. which were ordered.
The vote resulted yeas 2, nays l47. but
before the result was announced Mr. VIII
son CIV. Va) stated that the House had
agreed to attend in a body On Monday at
O'Clock the ceremonies attending the cele.
bration Of the centennial anniversary OF
the laying Of the corner stone of the Capi.
tol. and he asked unanimous consent that
when the House adjourned today II be to
meet on Monday at 1:45. There was no
opJection ana the above votes having been
announced showing that there was no quo
rum the House at 12:40 adjourned.

A JOKE On k1LGOHE.
Why He Objected to a Train Robbery
investigation Resolution.

They had a joke on Mr.. kilgore of Texas
in the House this morning. Mr.. Kilgore
represents a district in Texas where the
festive train robber occasionally takes =
shy at the express messengers and the ten
derfoot passengers in The Pullman. This
morning a resolution was introduced in the
House by New Jersey member author
izing the interstate commerce committee
to investigate the recent train robberies
and to report to Congress what legislation
will be necessary to protect mail trains in
the future.
Mr.. Kilgore objected.
"Why, of course he objects" remarked
some one. THAT resolution interferes with
the vocations Of his constituents" There
was a laugh at Mr.. kilgore's expense.
which, perhaps, was undeserved. as his OBJ
lection was probably made to cut of q pos
sible Junketing trip in the neighborhood Of
the worlds fair, the latest train robbery
having occurred near Chicago
