THE COMMITTEES REPORT.
Reasons That Led to the Introduction
of Revenue Measures.


Immediately after the reading of the
journal. Chairman Dingley. of the ways
and means committee, reported from that
committee the revenue bill, which the
Speaker forthwith referred to the commit
tee of the whole House on state of the
Union. The report follows:
1.-The committee on ways and means. to
whom was referred so much of the PreSi-
dents message and so much of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury's report. and also the
urgency of immediate action by Congress
in direction calculated to bring relief re-
port that the committee appreciates the
seriousness OF the situation and the i'm
portance OF prompt remedies so far as Con-
gross can give them.
Your committee regards the chronic de-
ficiency of revenue for the past two years
difficulties which the treasury has encoun-
tered. and an important factor in the Gre
alton and promotion of that serious distrust
which has paralyzed business and danger
ously shaken confidence even In the finan-
c.al operations of the government. 1t Is as
impossible for government to have con-
tinuous deficiency of revenue for two years
and a half without affecting its financial
standing as 1t Is for an individual. 1t is
tinue In this condition without casting a
shadow of doubt and discouragement over
all business operations within its borders.
''The serious fact which We are called on
to confront is that In the two and half
years that have elapsed since July 1. 1899
this government has had an insufficiency OF
revenue to meet curreat expenditures
amounting in the aggregate to about Sl2s
0oo,C0o, and even In the first half of the
present fiscal year the deficiency Will reach
about so. 100000 and about Sc. 600 600 for the
present month. And up TO the present time
there Is no sufficient grounds for op.ning
that this insufficiency of revenue will not
continue during the remainder OF the fiscal
year; and how much longer no one can
safely predict.
were only the necessity OF borrowing money
to meet current expenses in time OF peace.
even this would afford abundant reason for
increasing the revenue. But the conse-
Quences are more wide-reaching than that.

RUssIA,s GENEROUS OFFER.
Ii Was Made I'm 1898. and rendered
Uncle Sam S60.GOO,OOO in Gold.


WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-TIhe facts in re-
gard to Russia's offer in 1898 to supply this
government with gold with which to meet
the emergency existing at that time are
gradually coming to light. 1t can now be
stated on unquestionable authority that
during the panic of three years ago, which
resulted in heavy Withdrawals of gold for
export the Car Of Russia, through his
minister here, Prince Cantacusene. formally
rendered to this government loan of s6O,-
100000 for the term of three years. No spe-
cific rate of interest was named, nor were
any details as to terms of repayment en-
terer into, the proposition not passing to
this stage. 1t was simply the generous
offer OF a nation on particularly friendly
terms with ours. and was not coupled with
any hard conditions such as might have
been reasonably expected from a power on
a less friendly footing with the United
ton, very courteously declined the offer
He recognized the unselfish generosity OF
the offer and the very friendly feeling that
cept, fearing that at some future time Il
might result in entanglements with other
European nations. which ii has always been
the policy CT the United States to avoid.
The offer has not since been repeated. In
the event of another bond issue, however,
1t possibly may result in the loan being
placed with Russian capitalists. and it is
probable the President has given some
thought to the advisability OF proposing
terms with them rather than with capital
lists OF other European nations, in case all
Of the bonds are not placed in the United
States.
The rumors that Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan.
of New York, came to Washington early in
the week to tender to the President in case
of another bond issue financial aid from
London bankers are not credited here II
can be stated on excellent authority that IL
Mr.. Morgan was in Washington he saw
neither the President nor any of his Cab
met advisers. nor did he hold any COM
rnunication on that or any other subject
So far as can be Learned Mr.. Morgan is not
expected in Washington

What Victoria Could Do.

As q matter of fact, our sovereigns
have rarely taken any active part in
politics since George Ills time, but
they could still do some very astonish-
ing things If they chose. The queen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from the commander in chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband tho navy in the same way,
and sell all our ships, stores and arse
mails to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely on her own re-
sponsibility, she could declare war
against any foreign country, or make a
present to any foreign power Of any
part Of the empire. She could make ev-
cry man, woman and child in the coun.
try peer Of the realm. with the right,
in the case Of males who are Of age, tc
q seat in the house Of lords.
With a single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be in
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and liberate oil the criminals in oul
jails. These are q few Of the things thu
queen could do if she liked, but it il
not necessary to say that her majesty

the advice of the government for tn,

A CoRRKspsSDENT writing from
Pittsiield, Pike county, to the Quincy
Herald. says thas il Ben T. Cable had
been in charge OF the democratic
forces in the late contest down in the
Eighteenth district, he would have
been willing to wager n big pumpkin
that Lane would have been elected.
The opinion OF the Pike county DEM
ocrat is no doubt shared in by large
majority Of the democrats Of the
state, but OF course the accuracy OF
his prophecy cannot now be def.
nitely determined. One thing is
certain, however, il Mr.. Cable had
been managing the democratic cam
paign-there would have been no
free silver vagaries allowed. He
would first have insisted on a demo-
cratic platform and q candidate in
harmony with its principles. He
would then have given orders for the
BANDS, the organs and other silver
"bricks" to stay on their own reser.
vations. and with the warriors OF the
local tribes gone forth to do combat
with the enemy. And who could
doubt the result?

The Mistake in the Eishtes.tA.

Senator Palmer speaks thus Of the
result in the Eighteenth district:
'.I.anc would have been elected IL he
had not odopted the policy advocated
by Hinrichsen with regard to free
silver at Is to 1. Hinrichsen dictat-
ed that Is to I platform and took
charge OF the canvass in that district
and invited such radical free silver
men as Bryan and Andy Hunter to
come there and advocate those prin-
ciples, contrary to what the rank and
file OF the party wanted. and the PEG.
pie hsve taken this opportunity OF
repudiating the issue and rebuking
MIR. Hinrichsen's plan Of forcing the
free silver question upon US. II
Lane had made the fight according to
the democratic platform he would
have been elected BY On overwhelm.
ing majority.
''Lane was one OF the men who was
too much opposed to Mr.. Clevelsnd's
policy Of issuing bonds to maintain
the public credit, and his stand in
this respect was obnoxious to the ma
jority OF the democrats who believed
that Cleveland was right, and they
did not hesitate to make it known q,
the polls. This knocks the free sill
YER question higher than . kite
After this the democratic party viii
come together and make q stand fol
sound money, as they should. ant
it will be no trouble to elect thei
men the next time. There is but on,
thing for us to do, and that is to or
ganize our forces on . sound none,
platform, and nominate our best mai
for senator and let him canvass tn
state. This regard as the most i'm
portant thing to come before on

CRADLE SONG.

The crickets in the corner sing,
Ger farm and field the shadows creep,
Their homeward way the swallows wing.
The sun is setting in the deep,
The squirrels seek their leafy hold,
The fox Is in his hollow tree,
And. huddlcd in their silent fold,
The downy la,nbkins sleeping be,
The little bird within his nest
Hath hid his little head in rest,
And soon, oh, soon
The dreamy moon
Will sail along the heecy west.
The day is done,
The night begun;
To sleep, my drowsy little one.
But when at break Of day we see
The spider weaving at his loom,
The soaring lark above the lea,
The bee amid the clover bloom,
When frisking baby squirrels wake
And sip the leaves Of morning dew,
When baby foyes from the brake
Do prowl the thorny hedges through,
When on the meadow sweet with hay
The white AID curly lambkins play,
And, sweet and cool,
Ger plain and pool.
Bloweth the breeze Of coming day,
Thou, too, shalt rise
To sunny skies,
And open wide thy baby eyes.

NO eooseeERRY PIE FOR HER.

The Old Lady Had . Dinner That Sur
prised the Knowing Gamblers.
The old lady entered a restaurant
which. rightly or wrongly, is known as
the resort Of the gay and careless. She
was typically countrified in appearance,
her spectacles resting ON the bridge of
her nose, her hat being old fashioned
and her gait and general attitude those
Of one fresh from the little farmhouse.
Without, however, any sign of halt
ing confidence that was to be expected
Of stranger to city ways, she sat down
at the most conspicuous table in the
room. A surly looking short card play
er, who, although it was 6 O'Clock in
the afternoon, was just getting his break
fast, stared at her with curiosity. Two
detected turf gamblers, prevented from
attending the races on that day by bad
luck ON the day before, who were solac-
ing themselves with strong waters and
who hadn't spoken to each other for
half an hour, observed her with slight
smiles.

But the other would not bet. He sale

They could not hear what she ordered
but they could see that there was moth
