BUILDING ASSOCIATION INSPECTION.
In the news columns of The Toms this
morning appear the opinions of prominent
building and Joan association officers on tho
necessity of regular official examinations into
the affairs of building and loan associations
and their like. The idea is that Congress
should pass a law requiring such examina
tion after the manner of the verified sworn
statements of national banks.
It is seea that stable financial institutions
of the character referred to have nothing to
fear from sueh examination, and are willing
and anxious that tho proper legislation be se
cured. The existence of mushroom concerns
labeling themselves "building and loan asso
ciations" is of the greatest dangor to honest
concerns, for they disgust the public with in
vestments of like character.
The laws of the District of Columbia aro
peculiarly l&x in relation to tbeso concerns.
As shown in The Times somo weeks ago, one
company advertises that it is chartered under
the laws of the Distriet, when, as a matter of
fact, no such charter has been or can he ob
tained. Another company was shown to lure
Investors into a plan of payment by which 50
per cent, of all monies received is devoted
to an "expense fund." It was also shown by
The Times that security companies were ad
vertised as trustees of building associations
whore, infaet, tho security company only
acted as custodian of a part of the concern's
funds under the express stipulation that it
should not be referred to in advertising mat
ter or by agents in canvassing.
Here is a subject for worthy legislation. A
determined fight should be mado when Con
gress reassembles, and a law passed. The
District owes this much to the poor people
who are daily being swindled out of their
savings. The honest building concerns owo
it to their own good reputations.
t
WHERE'S THE ADJECTIVE!
It is said on excellent authority that more
than twenty-five members of Congress, who
prefer not to come to Washington this winter,
have asked the Sorgeant-at-Arms to forward
them their mileage, both ways presumably.
No one will deny that there aro several rea
sons why more than twenty-five members of
Congress should not come to Washington this
winter, but no one will admit that the theory
and practice of quid pro quo should be abol
ished by the Sergeant-at-Arms of tho House
or anybody else. It is to be hoped that this
scheme, which has been constructed on tho
principle of Uncle STipio's flshtrap. to catch
'em a-eomin' and a-goin'. will not be consid
ered by the disbursing officer of the House.
Nouns are not usually compared like ad
jectives, but if there ever was a time when a
concentrated, reduplicated, superlative of
'gali" was badly needed it Is now to express
this unique request of more than twenty-five
Congressmen.
POST-OFFICES AND POLITICS.
rcBtmaster General Bissell makes a very
strong plea, in his annual report, for extend
ing tho civil Borvico system so as to embrace
the post-offices. He is unable to see why a
system which works advantageously in all
tho othor branches of tho postal service
should not bo applicable to and equally effi
cacious as regards postmasterships.
Mr. Bissell says that by a practice which
seems to have taken on almost tho essence of
law, tho people of the United States have
come to regard tho post-offices as the legiti
mate spoils of the political party that hap
pens to have been victorious in a certain elec
tion. Thus every four years tho Incongru
ous spectacle is presented of a complete revo
lution in ono branch of tho public sotvlco,
carrying with it temporary derangement and
inconvenience to tho people.
Besides the greater part of the time of tho
Postmaster General is taken up with the con
siaeration of questions of appointment or re
moval and he is compelled to devote himself
to this comparatively unimportant matter In
stead of studying tho great service he has in
charge and seeking to improve it and reform
it, wherever Improvement and roform are pos
sible. Mr. Bissell hopes that Congress will
take favorable action upon a bill now pend
ing which provides for tho division of tho
country Into a certain number of districts,
each of which is to be in the charge of an
official taken from tho classified service of
the Post-office Department, to whom all ap
plications are to bo referred and upon whoso
recommendation the appointing power is to
net.
I It is almost a vain hopo that Congress will
(fcree to such a measure. The stream does
iot rise above Its source. A representative
represents. As long as tho people do not
enter fully Into tho spirit of civil service re-
form, and tbemselves continuo to bo a party
to tho hurtful practice now In voguo, no re
form can bo expected.
One thing is certain postal administration
Kill never bo what It ought to bo until such a
reform has been inaugurated.
STOP IT !
Mrs. Elliott Coues' bill "To prohibit
expectoration in public places" deserves
Irom the general public as serious considera
tion as has boon given it by tho Pro Re Nata
Club. It has both aesthetic and sanitary
claims.
Thero is no country in tho world whero so
much deferouco is shown to women as thero
is in tho United States. In nil things that can
possibly concern them theircomfort nndtholr
convenience aro first regarded. It is an
anomaly, therefore, thatthoir sensibilities aro
so completely ignored in this matter of cx-
' pectoratlou. In railroad and street cars,
on steamboats, in theaters and concert hall3,
j on the sidewnlks, and on tho stops of public
' buildings tho oxpectorator leaves his mark.
1 Whether tho mere sight of it is enough to
nauseate the pnsslng woman, or contact with
it soil her skirts, doe3 not soom to trouble
him in tho least, Uo'simply expectorates and
keeps on doing so. In no country of Europe
is such discourtesy and disregard shown tho
fair sex.
It may not bj too province of Congress
which is "Washington's city council (nnd
more'p tho pity) to legislate upon aesthetics
as such only, but from tho sanitary phase of
the question tho necessary authority may ba
evo'lvod. We don't know, but it may even
rest with tho Commissioners, in tho exercise
of their police powers, to mnko the necessary
regulations. Thero is not tho slightest douht
that expectoration in public places may have
ovil on"oct upon tho public health. That,
we boliovo, is admitted by medical authori
ties. A roform of this nuisance ought to bo pos
sible without resort to legislation. American
men ought to make an oxtra draft upon their
native chivalry and spare their mothers,
wives, daughters and sweethearts tho annoy
ance to which thoy aro now subjected. But
if they will not do so on their own motion
they should bo compelled by tho law.

HIS BETROTHED VANISHED.
With the Colored Woman Went SI 00 of
Veteran Drew's Pension Money.
Jennio Brown, an attractive looking colored
girl, was a defendant in Judge Miller's court
upstairs yesterday, while her beau, Chnrles
Wood was called upon in Judge Kimball's
court downstairs, to answer the chargo of Do
ing a suspicious character. Jennio was ar
raicned for stealing ten clO notes from Wil
liam G. Drew, an old soldier.
According to the police version of tho case,
Charles Wood surrendered his claim on Jen
nio's affections for the time being in favor of
Veteran Drew. Tho latter had just drawn
his back pension money, amounting to nenrly
$200, and declared his Intention of marrying
the woman notwithstanding the difference in
their color, he being white and sho brown
skinned, but as shrewd as a fox.
Jennie accepted tho battle-scarred veteran,
and he accordingly bought her furniture and
fitted out rooms for his prospective bride m
Freeman's alley. Jennie evidently did not
propose to be caged with such an old bird,
and when she had succeeded in getting her
deft lingers upon 6100 of the veteran's money,
in crisp ten-dollar notes, she flew to the arms
of her originnl friend, Charles Wood, so.it is
said, and left the old soldier alone in the fur
nished apartments bo ha 1 prepared for her.
Tho case was placed in tho hands of Fro
cinct Detective Barnes, of tho Second. Judge
Miller continued the case against the woman
until to-day, while that against Wood was
dismissed, it not being proven that ho had
been connected with the evident scheme to
'fleece the veteran.

DON'T!

That barks at your hools, right or wrong.

They've dono it sines Judas boganr
Hold truth in tho night or tho day.
And then, you will feel like a man!
Don't look for perfection below,
For nil that Is mortal must sin.

No matter how pure ho'a within.

GETTING READY FOR 1896.
First .Meeting of the Christian Endeavor
Convention Committee Mr.
Smith's Suggestions.
Tho committee appointed last week to man
age the Christian Endeavor convention, which
will bo held in Washington in 1896, met for
tho llrst time at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The session was
of an hour's duration, and thero was a gen
eral discussion of plans for the work.
Those present were Chairman W. H. H.
Smith, Vice Chairman Anson S. Taylor, Sec
retary John D. Morgan, and Messrs. W. B.
Robinson, Miles M. Shand, L. A. Conner, jr.,
J. B. Sleman. jr., C. S. Clark. Rov. E. B.
Bngby, and W. A. H. Church.
Tho meeting opened with prayer, and tho
chairman suggested rules for tho government
of the committee to bo adopted at tho next
meeting.
Mr. Smith suggested that tho finance nnd
hall committees bfl composed of soven mem
bers each; that tho appointment of the hall,
decoration, usher, entertainment, excursion,
reception, music, and registration committees
bo defined. Ho thought that tnreo persons
should bo appointed as tho nucleus each of
the press and printing committees, tho other
members of these committees to bo named as
thir servicei aro required. One of the most
important duties of tho committee will be to
solicit funds sufficient to meet the necessary
expenses of tho convention.
To help do this work an auxiliary finance
commlttoo of several hundred Endeavors
will have to bo appointed. A circular setting
forth tho character of tho convention will be
distributed among the business men of tho
city. Mr. Smith suggested that tho circular
bo npprovod and tho sub-committee appointed
at the next meetinc of the committee of '9G.
Ho also suggested that tho method of con
ducting tho financial campaign bo referred to
tho flnnuco committee. Tho design for letter
hends and tho purchase of necessary books
and stationery will bo decided upon nnd
authorized at the committee's next meeting.
Tho following motto was adopted by the
mnnngers of the convention of '9G: "Not by
might, not by power, but by My spirit, snith
the Lord of hosts." It was decided that dur
ing December tho committee should moot at
4:15 each Saturday afternoon and that tho ses
sions shall bo private.
In this latter provision tho committeo dif
fers in its procedure from all othor commit
tees which havo had chargo of arrangements
for national gatherings as large and larger
than tho Endeavor convention is expected to
be. Tho Grand Army encampmont, Knights
Templar, Knights of Pythias, Brotherhood of
St. Andrew, tho Presbyterian general assem
bly, and Methodist ecumenical conferenco
committees of arrangements all held open sps
sions nnd wore .glad to admit representatives
of he press to their meetings. Several mem
bers of the committeo of '90 aro in favor of
open sessions, but, unfortunately, they are
not in tho majority.
Before adjourning yesterday afternoon a
consecration meeting was held and tho mem
bers asked for Divine guidance and aid in
their labors.

A young physician, who has had an
amusing exporienco in connection with tho
smallpox scare, tolls an excellent .story
on himself. Last week he was summoned
in great haste to a house in Southeast
Washington, where he found an Italian someV
wbat under tho weather. There were three
children in the family, who were also confined
to their beds and, of course, immediately tho
young physician announced to tho Italian
that not only must ho bo vaccinated without
further loss of timo but that tho threo
childron must bo attended to in tho same
mannor. Thereupon tho Italian in tho con
sternation of despair nt having had his
messago misunderstood broke out into vol
umos of broken English declaring by all tho
caints it was not for himself nor tho children
he hnd sent for tho physician, but that his
monkey, who represented the 'sum of 6300,
might be vaccinnted. Expostulation availed
nothing with tho excited son of tho land of
gnrllc and olives. It was for his monkey that
ho had sent for the physician, it was for tho
monkey ho feared tho effects of tho smallpox,
and it was first and last for his monkey that
tho vaccino virus was to bo used. The young

BUYERS RATHER SCARCE
Raid on Chicago Gas Made trie Market
Heavy for Awhile.
IRREGULARITY RULED THE DAY
Prices Ban Ud and Down the Scale, and ia
tho Final Trading Slightly Better Feeling
Provailod Coalers Depressed at First but
Rallied Soon The Advances -and Losses.
New Yonn, Nov. 2G. Tho sharo specula
tion to-day did not reflect that bouyancy
which might hnvo been (undoubtedly wa3 In
somo circles) expected from tho very success
ful floating of tho governmont loan. Specu
lative values did receivo somo benefit last
week in anticipation of tho result reached,
but it was not of a lasting character, other
circumstances tonding to weaken tho stock
markot. Tho othor government bonds were,
howovor, materially strengthened by tho
heavy bids for tho now 5s. and all of tho old
issues closed to-day higher than on Saturday,
tho gains boing: Fives, regulnr, 13; do.
coupon, 1; 4s, registered and coupon, each 1;
2ds, registered, 1; Pacific 6s of '93. '9G, and
'98, 1; of '97, 2, and of '99, 1) per cent
At the opening of the stock market a firm
tono prevailed, and most of tho shares traded
in moved up n fraction on buving by tho
room traders, based on the belief that there
would be a good demand for stocks. Tho
buyers did not. however, come into the mar
ket, and instead a raid was mado on Chicago
Gas, which sent it down 1 per cent., Bay
Stato Gas making a similar loss, and tho gon
eral market becoming heavy aud reacting
fractionally. A slight rally followed in tho
moro active stocks, while Delawaro and Hud
son rose lf por cent.
A partial reaction took placo about 11:30.
o'clock, but speculation was fairly steady at
noon. During the afternoon tho market
moved In the samo irregular course as during
tho morniug, reactions following recoveries,
and tho net results being in most cases a
lower rango of values. In the final tradings
a slightly bettor feo.ing prevailed, and the
market closed about steady.
At no time during tho day was thoro any
animation to the dealings, but at tho samo
time there was no special pressure to sell ex
cept, perhaps, in St. Paul and Northwest,
some holders of these shares desiring to close
out their contracts in favor of tho expected
reduction of the rate of dividend of North
west nt to-morrow's directors' meeting. Tho
coal shares woro depressed early in the day
by an nttack on Reading, but gained strength
in the nfternoon in belief that the conferenco
of coal men, to bo held to-morrow, will help
tho situation.
Delawaro and Hudson made a gain on the
day of and Lackawanna $. New Jersey
Central opened higher, broko 1, and re
covered J. Reading declined nnd rallied
Ji. Reports that the annual report of Erie
would show a heavy decrease in net earnings
brought out considerable stock and sent tho
price down .
Other losses on tho day are:

ferred, 1; Southern preferred, 1; National
Lead. 1; Sugar and Missouri Pnciilc, ; Col
