Questions For Congress.

There are several things which the Mckinley Investigating committee has not yet investigated.
 It is quite probable that this white washing committee will not reach the matters in question, but democratic congress will not be so careful of Alger's feelings.
 Among the problems to be solved are the following:
 Who sold decomposed meat and spoiled canned goods to the govern ment at the price of frst-elass ar ticles, and what officials secured the ''rake off?
 Who bought rotten hulks as auxil- iary craft for the war department at three or four times their real val ue, aud what did the purchasing agents get for their share of the sswag"2
 Who acted as buyer in negotiating deals for palatial yachts with their millionaire owners at fancy figures, and what share did the agent get of the "boodle?"
 Who purchased army mules in the north at $120 each on the very day that several thousand army mules were sold at Chiekamau5a for $40 apiece, and who got the benefit Of the "diekerf?
 There are many other questions of a similar nature that might be asked now, but it would be useless to ask them, for unless a democratic con gress is elected they will never re eeive an answer Chicago Demo crat.

 A FIDDLER DELIVERS
 A VALUBLE PACKAGE.
Pichs Up Nesotiab,e Paper. Worth Twon, ty.Five Thousand Dollars on Streets
 of New York City.

Now York, Nov ;.-A swarthy, sol emn eyed Italian stepped into the bank ing house of Farson, Leach & O., 90 Nassau street, threw package on the counter with a ''Da for you; da for you" and then started to walk out. There was chorus of clerks calling him to come back.
 An hour before, a messenger from an- other financial institution started out to deliver packages of more or less value. He knew he had one addressed simply "Farson, Leach 6 Co.," without the firms street or number, and he was also aware that the envelope contained securities aggregating $95. 900.
 When he stepped into Farson, Leach 66 Co s place the package in question was missing. To make known his loss and stop payment on the government bonds in Washington and at the sub- treasury here was the work of but few moments. Still the securities were ne- gotiable at any bank in the universe.
 The envelope which the Italian had so carelessly tossed over to the bank clerks contained the missing securities. He was called back and taken into MT. Leach's private office His story was very simple. He was a chestnut ped dler and stood in Cedar street. He picked up the envelope from under the feet of the crowd that thronged past.
 He saw the name on it, but as he could not read English, he stopped a pe- destrian and asked him what the writ ing was. The man told him and also gave him the location of the office. He had delivered the package. He was only little way from where his stand was. He did not want any reward. The only thing that was puzzling MT. Leach was what to do for the finder, but substan iaI recognition of Is act will be made.

As to American iron and steel, there is double reason for the ex- tent to which they are used today in Great Britain. One is that the workmen themselves have expressed a preference for them. The other reason is that the American pro. ducts are actually cheaper tkan the British. This fact, in conjunction with that of their superiority, makes the American product invincible. = Scimitar.
