WORLDS FAIR WIND-UP.
Closing Sessions of Board of Control
Marked nv DisseusiOns

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The worlds fair
board of control, which Is the executive body
of the Columbian commission, is in session
here transacting various odds and ends of
business relating tos the Chicago exposition
that yet remain undisposed of. One of the
boards duties is to officially promulgate the
award of the $4,000 to %, 600 medals and di-
plomas that were awarded to the exhibitors
at the fair. The cases for the medals have
been finished and some kind of tubular de-
vice will be prepared for the safe transmits
sion of the diplomas 1t is expected that
everything will be ready in less than a
month. The action of Director General Davis
in making his report to congress in place Of
first submitting it to the board OF control is
source of dissatisfaction to the members.
The senate today passed bill appropriating
s1S, 900 to reimburse Mr.. Davis for the money
expended by him in the preparation of his
report. Today also the board of control
adopted a resolution for the appointment Of
committee of four to confer with the mem
bers OF congress regarding the matter. This
committee will. it Is said, in no way antag-
onize the payment Of the money to Mr. Davis
but will present the claim of the board that
the director general should have submitted
his report to the board or to the whole Col
umbian commission, and not to congress di-
rectly over the head of either body. The
board win probably urge the propriety Of
having the report submitted to the board
for alteration before it is printed. The mem
bers of the board at the meetings being held
here are Messrs. T. w. Palmer, president;
Massey, Delaware; st. Clair, West Virginia;
Plat, Ohio; Tousley, Minnesota; Sanders,
Mississippi, and Lannon, Utah.

ON JEWISH HISTORY,
Rabbi Hess Interesting Course of
Analytical Lectures.

Rabbi Hess, of the Mount Zion con-
gregation, last evening delivered the
tenth of a. series Of lectures upon the
History of the Jewish People, at the
synagogue, Tenth and Minnesota
streets. It Is the purpose of the lee
turer to consider his subject thorough
ly and nationally, RELOCATING supersti-
ton and sentiment to the past,
that a true conception Of the
Jewish character may be had
as it really existed. With this end in
view, last nights discourse dealt with
that portion of Jewish history cover
ing the giving Of the ten command
ments, and the revolt from the COW
enant entered into after the escape
from Egypt. The speaker stated that
the action Of Moses in breaking the
tables of stone, upon his return from
the mountain, was often considered
ill-tempered man, but in his opinion.
such was not the case. God, too, was
often accused of taking vengeance upon
an inoffensive people, but, likewise,
this was a mistaken idea. The children
of Israel had been followed out of
Egypt by horde of people allied by
race and origin, but in no other man.
ner. Their influence over the Jews was
very great, and while Moses had gone
up into the mountain for the very pur-
pose of seeing if the people would re-
spect the law which had been given
them, while their leader was absent,
this foreign element had seized the OPP
portunity to re-establish their old
Egyptian COW worship. When Moses

PEARL BRYAN,S HEAD
Is Still Missing, but Clues Are Com
ing to Light Gradually.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-THE Identification
OF the hat found near the place where the
pody OF Pearl Bryan was found is regarded as
one or the most conclusive proofs that the
crime of murder took place at that location
and not in Cincinnati. There is further cor
roboration of this theory in the finding of a
black bead such as was on the hat of the
murdered girl very near where the body was
left. This would indicate a struggle and some
violence and that the hat was worn by the
victim at that time and place. When found
the hat was some distance away and was
weighted down by bowlder tied in hand
kerchief, which has been identified as belong
ing to Jackson. Search in the canal and several
places for the missing head were unsuccess-
full. The fact that Jackson and Walling, who
have freely told where they put the girls
clothing, still refuse the friends of their VIC
tim the information which would enable them
to give Pearl Bryans whole body decent bur
ial intesifies, If possible, the loathing which
their unparalleled brutality in this murder
has created. 1t is said that opposition to the
eXtradition will be made the ground that
there is danger of mob violence

Judge McCafferty spoke in behalf of
S. A. Wiley, who, he said, had been in
the employ of the commission as jan

ed. He Is a good worker, conscien-
t1ous and honest, and he wanted the
commission to reinState him. A letter
was read from the librarian, asking
the commission to retain this man as
janitor in the library. Mayor Smith
said that when the Democrats came in
to control Of the commission they Gre
ated the place of janior in. the library
so that they could retain Wiley, who is
a Republican. Wiley's matter was also
referred to the committee. Commits
sioner Allen wanted to speak for

THE VOTE AGAINST FREE s1LvEt

The proposition to concur in the free
silver amendment added by the senate
to the bond bill was beaten yesterday
in the house by the tremendous odds of
215 to 80. In one sense this is not an
exact representative of opinion, because
it was too good an opportunity to Ego
on record" for use in the approaching
campaign. Every one knew that the
bill would be beaten. Every one knew
that if it were not beaten, it would be
vetoed. In any event there was no pos
sibility that it could ever become a law.
This relieved the members from the re-
sponsibility attaching to a vote on
bill that might actually take its place
among the statutes of the United
States. They were free to vote accord
ing to their imagined notion Of the de-
mands Of their constituents, without
fear Of consequences; and probably
there would be many changes both
ways if the vote were to be taken on
free coinage bill needing nothing but
immediate operation.
This, however, does not materially af-
feet the general result and the relative
strength Of the opposing forces. In
the house, which contains representa-
tives chosen only fifteen months ago by
the people, after lime Of deep dis
tress, when the free silver proposition
had been canvassed with great serious
ness, the vote shows almost two and a
half times as many were against as for
it. This, to any candid mind, settles
the question as a practical matter for
years to come and probably for all
time. It Is a singular hallucination
which will insist upon keeping active
in politics a question on which the
country has rendered a verdict so pos
tive. An analysis of the vote by
parties is less creditable to the Demo-
Gratis of the house than to those Of the
senate. There were So votes from that
party for and 81 against free silver;
while % Republicans voted for and 1874
against it The difference is accounted
for almost wholly by the recent agita-
ton for free coinage in several of the
Southern states, whose members imag-
ined yesterday that they must follow it
in order to please their constituents
The fate of free coinage in this con-
gress having been definitely settled, it
might be in order now to recall the
fact that there are other interests in
the country that require the attention
Of our legislators.

MAKE TT EFFECTIVE.

The responsibility for any failure to
deal effectively by law with the trusts
and monopolies that are now operating
so extensively is thrown upon congress.
The construction of the Sherman anti
trust law by the supreme court, as our
readers are aware, deprived it of any
real power to curtail these abuses
Whether the Trainer Of it knew that
when he proposed it or not, is not now
to the question. But no leader of any
party would dare assert today that
the whole force of legislation should
not be turned to the extinction of these
combinations. If the report which the
attorney general of the United States
has furnished to congress on the SUBJ
ject is adopted as guide, we will have
a real, instead of a sham prohibit
ton Of trusts. Mr.. Harmon points
out that the present condition of legis-
lation is admirably adapted to permit
the fish to escape through the meshes
of the net. Congress has power to deal
with them only as engaging in inter-
state commerce. The states have power
to deal with them only as affecting
local commerce. Between the two they
have managed to evade all regulation
or restraint.
1t Is now suggested that congress
can make it unlawful to ship from one
state to another any articles produced.

trust or by their agents. In order to
discover the facts in any given case,
it would be necessary to incorporate
a provision like that which had to be
added to the interstate commerce law.
to prevent the refusal Of witnesses to
testify on the ground that they might
criminate themselves. Mr.. Harmon
also remarks that the effect of the law
would be greater if it's penalties were
applicable only to general officers, man
ayers and agents, and not to subordi-
mates. This furnishes the outline of
possible legislation which we doubt not
would be more effective in suppressing
trusts than anything which has yet
been done or attempted.
Both parties have taken frequent
occasion, m congress and out, on
the stump and in the press,
in every political campaign and
In every debate, to declare their
ineXtinguishable and consuming hatred
OF trusts and other monopolies
They have now a splendid opportunity
to demonstrate their sincerity. A ma
tional election is only a few months dis
tant. Let some courageous member Of
congress introduce a bill aimed at mo-
nopolies on the lines laid down in Mr..
Harmon's reply to the house resolution.
We shall then see how many there are
who would dare to vote against it, and
we should also be interested in follow
ing the different schemes by which it's
progress through congress would be
secretly impeded and delayed. Let us,
by all means, have antitrust legisla-
ton that means something. Let us have
law which the federal authorities can
enforce, and which, when enforced, will
accomplish what it pretends. The way
to the suppression Of monopoly is now
open. How many members of congress
are ready to walk in that straight and
narrow path2

VALUATION OF REALTY.
Col. C1ough Gives Assessor Seng His
Views on 1t.

views on 1t.
Col. W. P Clough has written a
letter to County Assessor Seng in an
sWer to that gentleman's circular to
the business men of the city with ref
erence to the valuation to be placed
on real estate in the coming assess
ment. AS Col. Clough was a member
OF the retrenchment committee, his
opinion on this subject, it Is claimed,
is entitled to more than ordinary con-
s1deration. In his letter he urges the
assessor that a reduction of from S25,-
100000 to $30,000,000 from the previous
valuation should be made, as the val
uation Of real property in this city has
been about 20 per cent higher than in
other cities of the state. The total
valuation. according to his way of
thinking, should not exceed $50, 900 900
to $S5, 900, 00O
The next problem to be solved was
regarding the distribution Of this on
the various properties in the city. His
idea is that the distribution should be
in proportion to the burden the differ
ent classes Of property can bear rel
auVely. The earning capacity of a
large part Of the improved property
has declined so per cent while the
bottom has been knocked out of the
unimproved almost entirely. But a
small amount Of property has ad-
vanced in earning capacity, and this.
Col. Clough thinks, should be made to
bear good share Of the burden. He
suggests that the expense of making
as complete an investigation as should
be made regarding the valuation to be
placed on each parcel of property will
be heavy expense, but he feels sure
that the results will justify it,
Col. Clough, County Auditor Sullivan
and Mayor Smith had general con-
ference yesterday for an hour or more
regarding this same subject The
whole matter was gone over, including
the laws relative to the making of
assessments ETC.
