LIGHTING THE CAPITOL.
A Large Electric Light Plant to Be Put LIN
by the Government.

A Large Electric Light Flant Co ne Fut III
by the Government.
It is probable that the electric lighting
plant to be put in the nations capitol
will not only be required to light that
building, but also to illuminate the con-
gressional library, which is to be the
largest building of its kind in the world,
and which, by reason of its uses, will re-
ouire the best class of illumination.
To accommodate such plant it will
be necessary to locate the engine and
dynamos in structure erected for this
special purpose. The location of the
power house is now being carefully con-
sidered, and the decision will probably be
reached very soon. The house will be
ornamental in appearance, and will be OF
sufficient size to contain not only the
eight dynamos necessary for the present,
but also for other buildings that may be
added to the group clustering around the
capitol, notably the home for the su-
preme court.
A careful estimate has placed the orig
inal cost of the building, the machinery,
the wiring and general installation of the
plant at $500, 1000. This will insure the
work to be of the best character and the
plant to be of sufficient size to furnish all
the light that can be used in the build
ings and the grounds. This latter is O
most important item in the calculations,
for at present there is an utterly made
uuate illumination of the great park. II
is not certain whether the grounds will
be lighted by arc lamps or groups OF in
candescent globes. But this is matter
of detail to be settled afterward.
A rough estimate that has already been
made of the cost of maintaining the new
plant, which will do not only the work
now done by the gas and electric plants
in the capitol building, but also the entire
work of lighting the new library build
ing and the Maltby House, shows that il
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000

An Indiana Currency plan.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal has already indicated that
the people, and especially the business inter-
ests of the country, will not be satisfied
with any plan suggested by any individual,
class or party, for the regulation of the cur
rency and the issue of money which is not
based on the responsibility of the govern
ment. The details may be intricate and in
volve the work of experts, but the underly-
ing principles are few, and have stood the
test of long experience. Let the government
issue long time bonds, at a low rate of
interest, to be used only for banking pur-
poses, and in any amount demanded for
greenback, and United States treasury notes,
these notes to be cancelled, thus retiring the
its gold Let the government issue to any
bank 80 per cent. of the amount of bonds

this 10 per cent. to be held In trust for the
bank, less, say, 10 per cent. of that amount,
upon it's returning an amount of it's notes
equal to the extra issue; for cancellations;
and leaving the bank with its normal issue.
This return should be made within one year

This latter provision would give to the cur
rency an entirely safe elasticity, and one
that would not be called into exercise. exl
cept in an emergency. The rate of interest
| on the bonds should be such, and only such,
that the banks could afford to do business,
and pay the tax necessary to cover the ex-'
pense of the government. Then an emer-
| gency would have to arise before the banks
would put up the required amount to secure
the reserve 10 per cent, of issue. Knowing
that one-tenth OF that amount would be
retained by the government to reimburse it
for the expense at the extra issue, and that,
to insure the return of such issue, the per
cent. would be increased year by year until
the amount SO paid in, to secure the extra
issue. would be absorbed.

General Railroad News.

The train records show that in the week

1894 there were 1,445 fewer loaded cars han

doubtless have been about the same this

whereas last year the corresponding week
was mild winter weather and favorable to

be a heavy east-bound movement of grain,
and the break in rates will doubtless ex-
tend to other classes of freight; in fact, so
far as lumber, heading and slaves are con-
ccrned, for several days past rates have
been shaded by two of the Indianapolis
lines. Shipments of live stock, poultry and
dressed meats eastward are much heavier
than at the corresponding period Of 1894.
The question now arises, will west-bound
ratessbe cut In the near future? West
bound traffic is unusually light, and there

Thursday and Friday, and but little was
done outbound. Unbound business is good,
the movement of coal and live stock being
largely in excess of that of last year. Haul

the roads the remainder of the winter, and

A Remarkable Slump.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 12.-The most re-

known in Pfttsburg occurred to-day when,
between the hours of 2 and 8 o'clock p. m,
a fall of forty-two degrees was recorded.
At 2 o'clock the weather bureaus Their
mometer registered forty-one degrees
above. At 8 O'Clock tonight it registers
one degree below zero, and still going
down. The government forecaster predicts
eight below before morning. The low
est temperature ever reached in
Pittsburg previous to to-day was
just twenty years ago, reaching twelve de-
grees below on Jan. Il, 1875. TO-day's
weather was the nearest approach to a
blizzard that Pittsburg has ever seen.
