CONGRESS.
Senate.


WASHINGTON, March 6.-There was
evidence during the routine business in
the senate Tuesday morning of purpose
on the Republican side of the chamber
to displace tariff question with silver
discussion over the Bland seigniorage
hill. There were but few Democratic
senators in the chamber when the vice
presidents gavel fell. Mr.. Hill awakened
interest by offering the following resolu-
ton. and asking its reference to the COM
mittee on finance:
WHEREAS, That the secretary of the
treasury has announced deficit of STS,-
100000 for the current fiscal year. Where
as, house bill No. 1854, known as the Will
son bill, proposes to discard SO, OOO, 600
revenue from present tariff taxation and
to meet the double deficiency by new in
ternal and direct taxation, therefore,
RESOLVED, That the senate finance COM
mittee frame amendments to the said bill
emitting the said internal and direct taxes
newly proposed, aud instead thereof, make
provision for sufficient revenue by tariff
ing other foreign imports and otherwise
revising the tariff without creating de
ficiency.

The Seigniornge RflI.

The Bland Seigniorage bill passed
the house by a sufficiently large ma
jority to show that the Democrats
who were swift to engage in the work
of repudiatiug the party's financial
policy when unconditional repeal
was up for discussion are at last be-
ginning to open their eyes to the
disastrous results which they are
partly responsible for. Some of
them, it is true, lodged behind the
lack of quorum as long as they
could, but when Speaker Crisp took
matters in his own hands and cast
his vote so as to make quorum, the
true Democrats of the house got to-
gether and left the eastern coali-
tionists to shift for themselves.
The Tom Reed Democrats re-
main6ed true to their professions.
Some of them lodged the issue, but
the rest voted with Tom Reed. The
Democratic majority was thirty
nine, and the probability is that we
shall not hereafter have a repetition
of the disgraeeful scenes which
have marked every effort of the real
Democratic leaders tocarry through
legislation in the. interests of the
people.
There is no reason for any delay
I'M the Senate The subject matters
of the seigniorage bill does not call
for any extended debate on the part
of Senators. The sole effect of the
bill will be to carry out the inten-
tions of that part of the Sherman
law which remains unrepealed. 1t
is not measure in the interests OF
the demonstration of silver, but
will simply operate to carry out the
terms of a law that ought to have
been carried out long ago.
Opposition to the bill comes, of
course, from the bondholders and
money lenders, and it is based on
the fact that the coinage of the
seigniorage will leave the treasury
no excuse for the issue of more gold
bonds, and will in some sort tend to
relieve the depression that exists in
business.
1t is declared that Mr.. Cleveland
will veto the bill when it reaches
him, but this declaration ought not
to prevent the democrats of the
senate from promptly passing the
bill. If the bill fails in the senate
the responsibility for its failure will
be with the democrats of that body,
and if Mr. Cleveland vetoes it the
responsibility will rest with him.
For our part we do not believe that
Mr.. Cleveland will veto the meas
ure. There Is nothing whatever in
Any of its provisions to invite We
to-, and nothing whatever to attract
the opposition of any democrat who
is in favor of the policy laid down
in the democratic platform.

The crisis which was expected to come

The POSTAL SERVICE
Is Almost Selr-supporting According t
Late Reports.

Is Almost Self-suPportins According to
Late Reports.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Interest in
the facts concerning the postal service
are emb odied in the unusually complete
report upon the appropriation bill, COM
piled by Representative Henderson of
North Carolina, chairman of the COM
mittee on postoffices.
The estimates of the department on
which the bill is based amounted to
oO,399, 4S5, exclusive of special facilities
on trunk lines, an item amounting to
$196,614. The bill recommends an ap-
preparation of SS7, 470, $50, which is in
round numbers 3,000,O 600 less than the
estimates and about the same sum in adj
vance of the appropriations for the CUP
rent year. The estimated postal rev
enue for the fiscal year, 1895, is $84, 427, >
74S, SO that the postal service
Is Nearly SeIf-supporting.
Instead of depending upon the future
action of congress to make good deficien-
cies, the bill provides that a sum equal
to whatever deficiencies may arise shall
be appropriated. Throughout the report
comparative tables for each item are
given, showing the appropriations for 10
years and making an interesting history
of the growth of the service.
- I1e eSE1-
mates is made in the compensation of
postmasters. The amount asked was
ST., 100000, and that recommended is
S16,000,0U0. For clerks salaries the full
estimate of 100000 is granted, an in
crease of IS 10000 over last year. For
free delivery service the estimate of $12,-
327, $50 Is recommended, an increase of
81, 600, 900 from the preceding y.ar. For
inland transportation by railroad routes
S26,000,000 was asked for and $25, 500,-
000 grant.d, an increase of 81 .O0O. 900
from last y,ar. That the postal service
Might BE Money-MaI5ing system
is shown by the fact that 1000, 900
pounds of free matter for the govern
ment was carried during the yeal which,
had it been paid far at regular rates,
would have yielded $7,t73, 36k The
amount credited on account of the Pa
citic railroads for the year past was ST.
639,8l7.
OF crimes, the report says: During
the year ], ISL persons We're arrested for
violation of the postal laws, and of these
persons arrested 22T were postal EN-

A Word With Democrats.

The Philadelphia Times is cor
rect when it says:
"At SO cents per ounce, the price
in the market today, the silver bull
lion in the treasury is worth less
than S12O,O0O,OOO. This bullion is
all the government has to show for
due bills to the amount of S160, 0O0,-
600 which the treasury has issued
to the sellers from whom the silver
was purchased. This is another le-
gacy of the Harrison administra-
ton to be counted with the bank
rupt treasury, the squandered sur
plus and the Mckinley revenue
system which precipit9ted a def
cheney between government re-
ceipts and expenditures. Yet at the
late election tens of thousands vo-
ted the Democratic party response
BILE for this whole budget of evils,
in the creation of which it had no
more to do as a party than it has to
do with the home rule bill in the
British parliament. 1t is purely
and exclusively a reminder of the
Republican way of doing things in
the way of grand larceny.
In the above extract, Democrats
who are censuring the Administra
ton, may find a lesson, if they study
it well, that may result in much
good to them. Why turn against
your party? Have you anything
to gain when in a pique of spite
you vote with Republicans, as dem
ocrats did recently in Ohio and
Pennsylvania? Amt the RepubIi-
can party responsible for all the ills
that are now infiicting this country?
Is it reasonable to suppose that the
Democratic party can counterfeit in
one year, all the vicious legislation
of the Republican party?

WASHINGTON, March 6.-There is al

the Democratic senators who want the

length of time that the senate will de-
bate the measure. AS soon as the bill is
brought before the senate, it is expected
that the daily sessions of that body will
be prolonged to six or seven hours day
This will, in all probability, afford am
pie time for debate, and will not uecessi-
