The Man for Small business.
From Springfield (Mass.) Republican Qnd.

Elijah Morse is the man to move the i'm
parchment of Secretary Morton for taking
away the congressman garden seeds. He
is especially aggrieved, first, because he
must now buy his own garden Seeds and,
second, because he must bear the expense
of this method of currying favor with bis
constituents instead of loading it on to the
government If he will. he can put a voice
into the affair which will make the rafters
of the hall tremble as they never did in Old
Westminster hall when Burke closed in on
Warren Hastings and strong men trem-
bled and women tainted.

Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma did not go
far eLough in his resolution directed
against Secretary Smith, asserting that
the secretary had been ''parading around
the country changing his mind on the
money question" The delegate should
have moved a resolution Of impeachment
for the secretary's reasonable act Of
changing his mind. Flynn is a sIverite
which accounts for his attack upon the
secretary. Mean partisanship appears TO

Some Fine Finnnciering.

The United States put very large
amount of money into the Union and
Central Pacific railroads. great deal
more than they will ever get back. The
Union Pacific alone owes the government
about $6O.OOOOOO.
1t is doubtful if there is anybody in
congress who knows exactly why the
government has never got back the money
it put into these roads-that is. the ms
and outs of the inanciering by which the
money that ought to have gone to the
government was diverted to other pur-
poses. For a long time the government
has had to pay the interest on the bonds
it loaned to these roads. The sum it
has paid amounts to millions of dollars.
There is one man in congress who knows
probably more about the financial trans
actions of the two roads than any other
in public life. That man is Senator
Thurston of Nebraska, and he is the at
torney of the Union Pacific.
He has introduced a bill into the SEN
ate that is likely to cause some inquiry
1t provides that all the right. title and in
terest of the United States in the roads
shall be computed by the treasurer of
the United States, and when he finds out
what the amount in dollars and cents
is he shall offer at public sale the claim
of the United States to the highest bid
der. 1t is provided that he shall not
accept less than 50 cents on the dollar.
This looks very much like a scheme
of those interested in the two roads to
buy out the claim of the United States
at half it's face value. 1t must be worth
a great deal more. or they wouldn't be
so eager to get it. Still, if the United
States holds on to their claim they may
get nothing. There doesn't seem to be
anybody in particular to look after the
interest of the government, and it might
be better to accept 80 cents on the dollar
than to run the risk of getting nothing.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Fixing the Responsibility.

1t is of course, unlikely that the silver
majority in the Senate WIFI accept the sim
ple advice of Secretary Carlisle but with
the present sound money majority in the
House they cannot prevent the further is
sue of bonds, and failing to heed the Secre-
tary's advice, they must accept the whole
at an unreasonably high rate of interest

A somewhat novel duel is pending in
California. Two wine merchants fell out
over the respective merits of their goods.
A quarrel resulted in a challenge to fight
a duel. The challenge was accepted. and
it was stipulated that the weapons
should be the wines of the parties to
the affair Mr.. Jacob is to drink Mr..
Montealegre's wine, and vice versa. Pre-
sumably the man who remains sober the
longer will be declared the victor. and
each party will consider his honor vindi-
Gated. The plan is a little off from the
"code;" nevertheless, it has advantages
over the plan that Congressman Boatner
and Editor Hersey were credited with
wishing to employ the other day.
