Can no Longer Dictate.

WASHINGTON. D. c., February 5.-The
democratic steering committee of the senate
is endeavoring to agree upon measures to be
considered during the remainder of the
session.
In the meantime the republican senators
call attention 10 the fact that since Senator
Mantle, of Montana, took his seat the dem.
ocrats are no longer in the majority in the
senate, their strength only being equal to
that of the combined republicans and pop
ullsts, and they are therefore contendiug
that the democrats can no longer continu ne

Refunding BIZ Defeated.

The Pacific railroad funding bill was re-
committed to the committee on Pacific
railroads by the lower house of congress, by
vote oe AZ to 1os, showing an unexpect-
edly large majority against the measure.
Although the drift has been against the
DILL from the inception of the debate it's ad-
vocates were not without hope The extent
OF their defeat was great surprise to both
sides.
The debate was of brisk and lively char
acter. Only three of the eighteen sections
of the bill had been read when the hour for
taking the vote arrived. But the substan-
tlal amendment, (To prevent the payment
OF dividends on the stock until the govern
ment debt should have been fully dis
charged), was adopted.
Mr.. Boatner's substitute to foreclose the
governments mortgage in case of default,
was cut out by parliamentary maneuver,
SO that when the voting began in the house
he moved to recommit the bill, motion
equivalent to its direct defeat A PROPOSE
ton submitted as an amendment to com
promise the debt (aggregating $13O, ,OO0)
for $75,OOO,OOO was defeated, and the bill
was sent to its doom by an overwhelming
majority. The opponents of the measure
slgnalized the victory with shouts of jubila-
ton.

City and County Foot the Bill.


BROOKLYN, N. Y, February 5-The treas
urer of Kings county will first have to pay
$l16O54.25 to the soldiers alone-$55, ,844 to
the Second brigade for three days service
up to date, and $50, ,21O % to the First brigade
for nine days work.
When that is settled S21 900 must be paid
to the extra policemen whom Commissioners
Welles swore in. Then 81 ,344 must be paid
Tor the subsistence of the Second brigade
and S2,160 for the food eaten by the First
brigade. Then it Is estimated that the loss
10 business during the two weeks was $780,
UOJ week. The estimated loss to the strik-
ers in wages is $168,0OO and the loss of
S455,OO0 to the company in railroad fares
brings the grand total up to SLIGO, ,05425.
This of course does not include the dam
age done to the wires and hundreds of cars
which were broken and shattered by the
mobs. The variou& companies will have a
little bill of their own for these damages.
The damage to cars on the Brooklyn
Heights line alone will approach 500, 900
when the itemized bill is completed. Other
lines suffered as much, and one, the Atlantic
avenue system, much more The damage
done to wires amounts nearly to the neces-
slty OF constructing new lines, upon long
stretches of tracks.

WHY HE IS A BTEETALLIST.
"Why are you a bimetallist, Profes
cor FoxwellG" was the next questiuc
put to the Cambridge man.
1.-The current system known as bi
metallism." said MI: Foxwell, ode
ponds for it's explanation upon what,
beyond doubt, is one of the most beau.
tiful results of modern economic analy.
sis. Indeed, it was this ingenious
theory of substitution. brought to my
notice by the late Professor Jevons,
that first attracted me to the study of
the compound of bimetallic standard.
But the main interest of the subject
does not lie in these theoretical conkid-
e~rations, fascinating as they always
are to the expert. It is the economic
and social bearings of monetary ques
tions that give them their real human
significance. For myself, at all events,
l was not seriously interested in the
proposals of the bimetallists until,
while investigating the auses of irreg-
ularity of employment, began to realize
how infinitely they concerned our in
dustrial and commercial prosperity,
and the condition of labor. Unless I
am entirely mistaken, the present state
of,'monetary chaos has most injurious
effects upon foreign trade and our
productive industries; and, in any case,
it will not be denied that interests of
national Importance are involved in
the monetary policy of the near future.
I doubt, indeed-I say this with some
Observation-Disclosures there has been
any economic controversy agitating
this country during the last fifty years,
except the controversy of free trade,
whose practical issues YER so grave

fessors and teachers of political econ
omy in England r generally favor

GENERALLY FAVOR BIMETALLIsM.
Fully a.year ago I said that they
were generally favorable to bimetal-
lism, and at any rate accepted the
upon which the practical work
ing of that monetary system depends.
I can speak now with more confidence
in regard to both points. It may be
partially owing to the natural develop
ment of opinion, partly to the vivid
light thrown on the situation by the
stalking monetary events of last year
bat whatever the cause, there can be
no doubt that economic opinion has
distinctly advanced in the direction of
the views which we advocate, and

There a bo no DOUBT that the appear
ance of his celebrated work, The
Wages Question: marks an epoch in
the history OF English thought upon
that important subject. In this book
once for all disposed of the old wages
fund theory, with its dismal outlook
for the laboring classes, and substituted
for it the most humane aud natural
mode of viewing the position OF labor
which is now universally held by eco
nomists."
Mr. WHITNEY PLEASED JOHN BULL.
II believe one of our distinguished
statesmen, the Hon. w. G. Whitney,
has been in England this summer max
ing some observations of bimetallism;
did you have the pleasure of meeting
him9"
Eyes, I had the pleasure of meeting
MI. Whitney and must say that 1 liked
him very much. He appears to be an
exceedingly clear-minded, conserva-
tive man, anxious to obtain all the in
formation possible in relation to the
bimetallic movement in Europe. So
far as I could gather his views on the
monetary question were very much in
agreement with the cautious, conserva-
tive views entert aimed by our leading
b~imetallists. I think such men as Mr..
Balfour and Mr.. Whitney view the
question from very similar standpoints.
When this question again comes under
consideration in Europe I firmly be-
lieve we shall find such men as Balfour
and Whitney working together in gen.
eral sympathy and agreement"
care there any other of our public
men who takes an interest in the work
of the Bimetallic League in England9"
