CONGRESSIONAL.
Lr. Hill Introduces a Resolution In
Regard to Gold Payments.
COUNTER RESOLUTION SUBMITTED.
Mr. stewart Declares the Government Has
No Right to Prefer Gold to Silver
The Legislative Appropriation
In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. The financial
question again came forward in the
senate yesterday, when Mr.. Hill pre-
scented a resolution defining the policy
of the government to pay its bonds In
gold in case the parity between gold
and silver could not be successfully
maintained.
Mr.. Stewart, representing the radi-
cal silver element, submitted a counter
resolution, declaring that the govern.
ment had no right to prefer gold TO
silver. The resolution went over
under the senate rules, but they offer
an opportunity for renewal Of
spirited conflict over the financial
situation.
Mr.. Hill sought to secure action on
his resolution and It is believed he will
push it to-day. 1t is considered I'm.
probable, however that the senate
will specifically define the govern.
ment's policy on gold payments In case
the bimetallic ratio is disturbed. Most
of the day was spent on the post office
appropriation bill, spirited contest
being made against the senate amend.
ment giving the postmaster-general
discretion in expcnllng the S3,2O5, 900
for railway postal routes.
There is such freedom Of debate In
the senate that Mr. Allen branched of
into an elaborate presentation Of the
alleged frauds in the last Alabama cleo
ton, MIR. Allen presented tables sup
ported by aiiidavlls showing that $1,000
fraudulent votes were counted in the
"Black belt" of Alabama.
Mr.. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, pre-
scented resolution directing the presi-
dent to secure private counsel to prose-
cute the rights of the government
against the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads The senator said he
would have some interesting state
ments to present as to irregularities in
management OF these and some other
roads.
Mr.. Davis submitted resolutions from
the legislature of Minnesota, charac.
tcring the railroad pooling bill as an
effort to "legalize gigantic trust"
md requesting the Minnesota senators
and representatives to work against
the measure. Resolutions were pre-
scented by which the legislatures Of
both Kansas and Minnesota expressed
In favor of the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people.
The senate agreed TO the conference

half for many years, and not without

opinion is that it would achieve very
little. Crusades of that order are short

inspire people to look to loftier levels,
to discourage the reading of flash lit
erature by schemes to substitute clean
reading, to lift the pride and self-re-
spect of youth to such a level that it
will turn from the unclean as it would
from carrion-these things are to be
promoted through all wise means of

There has been a wholly unnecessary
made to the proposition Of California
clergyman that some plan should be
adopted to prevent the probable COM
munication of disease by common use
Of the communion cup. The idea has
been condemned as sacrilegious and as
interfering with sacred Office of the
church. Even the Board of Health of
San Francisco seems to have been i'm
pressed with that view of the matter.
Yet the same body of sanitarians would
unhesitatingly indorse the new school
regulations of New York, which pro-
hibit pupils from drinking from the
same cup at the schoolhouse; that re-
Quire all the doorknobs of the school
room doors to be wiped daily with a
cloth saturated in a soda solution. If
such regulation is wise for public
schools, why should it not be equally
well to provide that communicates shall
not use the same cup? It is in evidence
that men and women with diphtheria
have gone to the communion at the altar
rail that parties with putrid sore throat
have in this sacrament used the same
drinking vessel with those who were
liableto be contaminated by their attic
ton. In no well ordered family does
any person at table use the same glass
or cup at the same meal that is used by
another. 1t is considered not only vul-
gar, but in a sanitary sense improper
What reason is there that the same
cleanliness should not prevail at the
Lords table?

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 2S.-A fresh attack
was made on the stock market at the
start on the withdrawal of $4,000, 900
gold. The early loss ranged from a to
~, Lead and Jersey Central being the
greatest sufferers. An advance in Ster-
ling Exchange operated against the
market ut this time. Subsequently a
steadier tone prevailed and just pre-
vious to the publication of the presi-
dents message the whole list moved up
rapidly, the improvement ranged from
II to 1Ss, Lead again being feature.
The presidents message was well re-
ceived. but there was a disposition to
disapprove of the recommendation for
small silver coins Later on advices
from Washington We're to the effect
that the presidents suggestions would
not receive immediate attention and
that the silver men would fight the
gold bond issue. At the same time
call money shot up to 3 per cent. This
led to renewed liquidation and in the
last hour of business the market was
heavy. Speculation closed weak with
prices at about the lowest of the day.
Net changes show declines of "A to 35s,
