TIE PACIFIC RAILROAD LOANS.

It is currently reported that Attorney Gen
eral Olney is the author of the bill to refund
the Pacific Railroad debt. If true there is
little hope OF an effort being made during tte
present administration to collect the amount
due the government from the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads.
II is also reported that a syndicate offers to
purchase the claims Of the government at a
fair valuation. II true, and the offer is bona
fde. there should be no hesitaEcy about max
ing the sale. The debt is undoubtedly col
leetable if proper steps are taken, but it would
De better to dispose Of the claim at any rea-
sonable price than TO involve the government
in expensive litigation.
Congress viii be beset with lobbyists so long
as no effort is made to collect the debt. Diff
ferent schemes and propositions to extend
payment and protect the original stockhold-
ers viii be presented. and the sooner the ques-
tion Is disposed OF the better it viii be for the
government Any proposition to delay pay-
ment is in the interests OF the stockholders.
If the security is not good now it will be no
better fifty years hence. II the debt cannot
be paid now it never can, and it is upon this
assump ion that the question should be
treated. But with Attorney General olney in
the way il wiz never be collected.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.

The Senate spent almost the entire day yes
terday on the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill. and for the first time since the meas
ure was taken up it did not serve as a text
for financial discussion.
1t is hoped to pass the bill to-day, thus
clearing the way for the post-office and the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bills
now on the calendar and for tire Indian and
sundry civil appropriation bills soon to be re-
ported.
Among the bills passed was that for the
establishment of national military park at
Get ysburg. Pa, and for appropriate mark
ing of the chief points on that historic battle
ground. As the bill has already passed the
House it will become a law on receiving the
Presidents signature.
An attempt was made yesterday in the
House to pass an omnibus bill for the paw
ment of claims for stores and supplies confis-
Gated from loyal people in the South during
the war amounting to S71S, ,663. 1t excited
much opposition, especially from PennsYlva-
mia members interested in Pennsylvania bor-
der war claims amounting to 81 ,000, 900 and
not included, and the measure was defeated
by 95 to 14S.
A rule was adopted for the consideration
of the currency bill to-day, Wednesday and
Thursday, after which the remainder of the
day was devoted TO the agricultural appro-
priaticn bill, which was passed without
amendment. An attempt to reduce the ap-
priation for the distribution of seed failed.

CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

Gen. L. A. Grant, formerly Assistant Sec
retary OF War, feels quite sanguine that Con-
gress will sanction the scheme with which he
is identiled-the construction of an electric
railway between this city and New York.
Gen. Grant is laboling TO obtain charter for
the National Rapid Transit Company. On
the road which il prof. oses to build II intends
10 convey pass engers IRON one city to the
other in two hours, or even less time if that
should be required. Gen. Grant entertains
no hope that bill can become a law at this
session, bur believes that its passage by the
House would give II an Endorsement which
would make its enactment by the next Con-
gress very much easier.
Congressman Springer is said to be a can
didate for the new circuit iudgeship of
Northern Illinois.
"It will never in the world do to put
Springer on the bench, 4" said colleague CT
the Illinoisian on the Banking and Currency
Committee. yesterday, lit will never do" In
answer to the why and wherefore the gentle
man remarked: springer is too mercurial.
He couldn't sit still long enough 10 hear a
case and would decide it before the counsel
had gotten through with their argument"
Col. Breckenridge figured yesterday after
noon in the role of the whitewinged angel Of
peace. Those two able Missourans. Messrs.
Hatch and Hale, got into Il wordy difficulty,
which created something OF eommotion.
when the kentuckIan came sailing down the
aisle. rising, as he explained, to a question of
order. The situation brought to mind the
scene OF last Friday, in which the Kentucky
Congressman was one of the star performers,
and caused a general laughter. which ayeried
the threatened row.
There was a little breeze in the Senate just
before ad ournment last evening. Mr.. Chand-
Ter had made some notion and Mr. Butler
undertook in gentle way TO censure mis- New
Hampshire colleague, when the latter jumped
up and exclaimed:
Il don't propose To be scolded by the SEN
ator nom South Carolina. l think can as
sumo the full responsibility of all my acts
without either suggestion or comment from
that senator"
Mr.. Butler dePrecatingly murmured some
reply, but just then Mr.. Blanchard curtly
moved that the Senate adjourn, which II did.
The sewer bond amendment to the District
appropriation bill, offered by Senator Proctor
yesterday, will give rise TO quite prolonged
debate. but il is safe TO predict that 1t will not
be adopted.
Manager Albaugh's friends feel quite hope
full that the Gray amendment to the sundry
civil bill. providing for the purchase of the
Blaine property by the government will not
be Incorporated in that measure. They pro-
fess TO believe that the Senate will reject it,
but even should such not be the case. that the
House conferees will insist upon its elimnia-
tion
Mr.. AlbaUgh, who is quite active interest
ing bis friends in the matter. said yesterday
at the Capitol that he felt that Congress
would not in such way interfere with his
business, ard that meanwhile the work was
progressing with all possible speed. the
foundation having already been dug out.

WORK FoR THE poor.

The Efforts of TIE TIMES TO find work for
the unemployed have met with lattering sue
cess. Many generous citizens have provided
work for the poor who have advertised in
these coiums, and numbers of Help Wanted
ads. have found willing seekers for employ
ment.
tits much better TO provide work for the poor
than to make spasmodic attempts 10 furnish
them with food and fuel. Charity as a rule
is bestowed by impulse, and while often gen.
erous is sometimes withheld by reason OF a
cooling of OF the giving fever. When assist
ance is rendered through. providing employ
ment an equivalent is given by the recipient
OF the favor, and although the work may not
be actually needed nothing is lost to the en-
ployer
Look over the Situations Wanted in this
issue OF The TIMES, and if possible find work
OF some kind for the applicants Il will be
greater charity than 10 contribute TO a poor
fund, Tor every dollar paid as wages eneour-
ages industry. and makes the wage-earner

KINSHIP OF MANKIND.

Prof. Mason's Discussion of the Evidences
of Common Identity.
Prof Otis T. Mason, curator OF the National
Museum, leetured last night before the An
thropological Society, from the presidency of
which he has retired. in the hall of Columbian
University upon "Similarities in culture.
their origins, dispersions, and varieties.'' 's'"
Prof. Mason gave instances of similarities
OF people, as evidenced by their inventions,
religions. and activities, who were far re-
moved from each other, and said that perfect
similarity betokened common identity 1t
can never be said he added that similarity
in inventions and culture and personal char
acteristics argue independent origin, but he
called attention TO the careless acceptance of
unreliable data in tracing the kinship of man.

As coon IN ANoTEER CoIOR.

Tho Passing Show" kicked up row in
Boston and the iesh-colored tights of its
pretty dancers created a sensation among the
big wigs OF the city council.
According to Boston ethics there is an al
dermaaic committee to promote propriety in
shows and to froYn down attempts to indulge
in a high order of dancing. The natural
color OF the tights worn 10y the figurantes
struck the committee as being too much like
a living picture and an order was issued that
these ladies wear less suggestive color. The
peculiar feature of the order is that no OBJ
lection was made to shapeliness, con-
seguently Boston is enjoying 1.-The Passing

TIE CuRnEEcY ELL.

An effort win be made in the House to-day
TO take up the currency bill and warm dis
cussion is sure to follow. The element
opposed TO the cancellation OF the legal ten
der and Treasury notes will try to prevent the
consideration Of that proposition, and their
opposition viii probably defeat any currency
legislation.
Unless these Objectionable notes can be
Withdrawn from circulation. any bill to sell
gold bonds should be defeated. The one
great need is the cancellation OF these notes,
and il they cannot be efTectually disposed Of
ali currency agitation should be Immediately
dropped.
Secretary Carlisle reports that between the
3lst day OF December, 1894, and the 3l5t day
Of December. 1895, there will probably be a
surplus of s22, SOS ,022 over and above ex-
penditures, and that the sale of bonds will not
be necessary to make up deficiency. The
Immediate demand for gold to build up our
gold reserve will be supplied by the sale Of
500, 900 900 of bonds. which have already
been negotiated. Therefore the future will
be provided for.
The N in purpose of the administrations
currency bill was to sell gold bonds to can
Gel the legal tender and Treasury notes. This
currency has been a constant menace to our
gold reserve. 1t has been the medium which
has given Wall street power to intimidate the
Secretary OF the Treasury, aud its withdrawal
would have freed the government from the
domination OF gold speculators.
The one really Objectionable feature in the
administrations bill is the proposition to
collect customs in gold. Such a measure
ought not be considered, for the reason that
one kind Of money should be as good as an
other for al payments on American soil.
But the rest of the bill is commendable.
