HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The House
to-day devoted nearly all of four hour
session to the army appropriation bill
for the year ending June 30, 1898, in
Committee of the Whole. A great por-
ton of the time was spent in discuss
ing a rule of the Chairman of the COM
mittee that an amendment to cut off

mended by the Surgeon-Gene and
Secretary of War, was out of order.

The discussion was quite interesting.
Dinsley (Ro of Maine, Bailey CD of
Texas, Little CD of Arkansas, Grow

Iowa, Lacey (R) of Iowa, Cannon (R)
of Illinois and others participating. The
question was important as affecting the
power of the House under the rules to
limit, restrict or define the expenditure
of money carried by AN appropriation
bill. On one point the committee-69

agant management of its public affairs
is undoubtedly correct. The stand
ard" wishes to say, however, that in
making reductions in expenditures the
Legislature should act wisely. Public
officials should be paid a fair compensa-
ton for their work and the responsible
ties they are compelled to assume. The
idea some people have that a county
officer should be paid the wages OF an
ordinary clerk is not tn eright one.
This county collects and dlsburses
about $500, 900 yearly, and the officers
whose business it is to manage the
county business must be men of bust
ness ability and of good character. They
give heavy bonds for the faithful per-
formance of their duties, and are exact
ing laws in regard to their fulfillment.
To pay them misery stipends would be
poor economy, and whatever reductions
are made in their salaries should be
made with the full understanding of the
subject.

want to be understood as denouncing
the manly art'' or science of boxing
or sparring, which is useful at times
as a means of defense of ones person
or property. The art can be learned
and carried on in manner consistent
with decency without the knock-downs
and shocking scenes that are part of
every prize-fght. But the people do
not want that. 1t is the punishment"
they want and applaud rather than the
science. For that reason the feather
weight" contests create but little in
terest. however scientific the parties
may be, simply because there is not
enough of brutality shown.
CATRON BILL.
San Bernardino Sun: If Congressman
Hepburn of Iowa intends to see to it
that the Populists are not inconsistent,
he has assumed a. bigger contract than
anything he has yet undertaken. The
fact that their platform declared
against alien ownership of land would
not at all interfere with their support
of the Catron bill, which makes 1T pos
of foreclosure. But the eloquent Iowan
must have enjoyed the toasting he gave
them.
SECTIONAIISM.
San Diego Union: That sectionalism
is not yet quite dead in the South is
evidenced by the fact that in some
States notably South Carolina, an act
i've agitation has been in progress for
some time in favor of excluding from
the public schools histories prepared by
Northern writer's. The claim is made
that these books do not handle the Sc
cession question, and the events follow
ing the rebellion, in a manner that ac-
cords with the views of the South to-
day. The associatio of Confederate
Veterans have also taken the matter up,
and they seem to have made substan-
tial progress toward substituting in the
schools histories which present the
lost cause" in favorable light. OF
course this movement in the South is
simply step backward. Still, there ap-
pears no way to prevent it If the peo-
pie down there desire to put into their
children's minds false ideas on the sub
ject of States rights, slavery and seces-
sion, they have a legal right to do so.
Such a course, however. is to be de-
plored as tending to prevent the South
from sharing in the civilization. pro-
gress and general enlightenment of the
rest of the country.
TAX REDUCTION.
Humboldt Standard: judging from
the tone Of our exchanges the coming
State Legislature will pay some heed to
the general demand for a lower tax
rate. There are many leaks in the pub
lie treasury which should be stopped,
and the Standard" has already pointed
out some of them. The general impress
