We don't pretend to say that

Miss Kate Field says the Mor
mons are what might be called a
thrifty people. ThisjU evident, says
Miss Field, by the fact that the
church has raised there by the tith

granite temple alone. The temple
will be 200 ft. high, and will cost;
when completed, $5,000,000.
During the first fifty years of our
Government the number of bills in
troduced in the House of Represent
atives, was 8,777, while the number
of bills introduced in the House
of the Forty-EigBth Congress alone,
was 8,630. So it would seem it re
quires a vast amount of legislation
these times as compared with the
first half century.
The London emigration returns
for 1885 show a decrease, as com
pared with last year, of 10,000 in
the number of people who emigrat
ed from England to Canada. On
the other hand, there was an in
crease of 9,000 in the emigration
from Ireland to the United States
and of 2,000 in the emigration
from Ireland to Canada.
The friends of Mr. Stead, editor

dred thousand people requesting his
release. The petition is one and a

This country has built 10,000
miles of railroad in one year, but
during the year 1885, 3113 was all
the track we put down. This is the
smallest amount done in any single
year for a considerable period. . A
notable fact also is that the south
states, and the country between the
Mississippi and the Pacific, were
the sections where most of this
railroad making was done. ..'

in support of the present National

the first bank in New York, no one
would touch the stock, and he was
compelled to take the whole in his

Clear Reasoning. WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
JAN. 18 1886.
; Congress has been persistently ir
r4velant this.wcek. . Both Senators
and Representatives have shown an
irresistible inclination to ignore
business'and deliver speeches on pet
subjects. On one day the Senate
listened to three orations on totally
dissimilar measures, Silver, Art and
the Army, Senator Manderson call
ed attention to his bill for bjjilding
up the Army, Senator Blair aske'd
that monuments be ereoted to Lin
coln and Grant, and Senators Pugh
and Vance advocated continued
coinage of silver dollars.-
.kx. Gov. Curtm's resignation of
the Chairmanship of the Banking
and Currency Committee, and Sen
ator Ingalls' coinage resolution are
the prominent financial features of
the week at the Capitol. Mr. Cur
tin's action, which was anticipated,
brings an extreme silver man, Re
presentative Miller of Texas, to the
head of this .-committee, and the
Senator from Kansas proposes to
continue the present coinage of sil
ver until a limit has been reached of
$500,000,000. At the present rate of
coinage, fu,uuu,UUO a month, it
would take fifteen years from' date
to reach this amount. In declining
the position to which he was assign
ed, Mr. ijurtin said he was not lack
ing in appreciation of tho honor
conferred upon him by the Speaker,
but that he could not escape the con
viction that the tastes and "experi
ences oi nis public me were not such
as htted him to serve in that position
with satisfaction to himself or with
usefulness to the House.
The silver men have established
their headquarters here, and their
work is apparent in the halls of Con
gress. Scarcely a day passes without
a Congressman introducing a peti
tion against the retirement pf silver.
Agitation of the silver question will
probably continue through the en
tire session. "But," remarked Sena
tor Uolvuit of Georgia, "it will be
only agitation, for no legislation will
be accomplished.,' The opinion is a
lair renex ot the views ot a majority
of the Senators from the South and
West, and party lines would be ob
literated on a vote for the demone
tization of silver. Senator Pugh, of
Alabama, in a good natured refer
ence to the Administration's silver
policy said, that on thi subject,
both parties allowed differences, of
opinion within their ranks." On next
Monday the silver question will be
formally presented in the Senate for
consideration and then talk on sil
ver, which . has been given out so
freely of late, will be revelant in that
end of the Capitol at least."
A Democratic Representative was
speaking of the tardiness of the
House in getting down to business,
and of the tendency of riiembers to
speak in season and out upon their
favorite measures. Said he, "This
is like a glass of beer, there is a lot
of froth to be blown off before you
can get down to the substance.
Scores of members have speeches
prepared on various subjects, and
they had just as well be blown off
now when the House has . nothing
else to do. They are sura to waste
time, hereafter, when the House gets
fairly , to business. They: are the
froth that has to be gor rid of before
any real work can be done. . .
The House has showncommend
able alacrity in regard to the Presi
dential succession bill, which has
already passed the committee and
been reported to the House without
amendment. Some membets are dis-
posed to object to certain provisions
of the bill, but it is probable that it
will pass substantially as it -came
from the Senate.' The feature in the
bill most criticized is thafrwhirh ere
ates a cabinet interregnum- tijl the
expiration of the full , Presidential
term. But the contingency is so re
mote that this obiection'ris rather a
fanciful one, it being altogether un
likely that both President and Vice
President will ever die at the begin
ning oi a term.
The Senate, in secret session, has
been confirming the President s
nominations, many of them as fast
as the names could be read.- Among
tne nrst were the new Civil Service
Commissioners. When Mr. Eaton's
name came up, Senator Logan made
the point that he was a "mugwump,"
and that the spirit of the civil ser
vice law required that one of the
commissioners be a Republican.
Several Republican Senators vouch
ed for Mr. Eaton's politics, and the
Commission is now certified to the
country as eligible for its.duties.
V en' few of the nominations will be
objected to not more than one per
cent, of them. The President's po
sition in regard to them, is one which
the Republican Senators find it hard
to extract any grievance. He did not
withhold any of his recess appoint
ments, but sent them all iri as Dem
ocrats whom he believed to be per
sonally honest, worthy and efficient.
If he has been deceived in some of
them, he leaves the responsibility
JUNO.
The following, from the Cleve
land Penny Press is to.the point :
The bankers do not care any
thing about the weight or bulk of
silver, or the ratio of gold in which
it is coined. The theory that they
do is just a mere fiction. They do
Hot have to handle silver personal! v
and their banks are not inconveni
enced by what they receive. Those
who stop to think will" remember
that the banks fought greenbacks a
few years ago as unanimously and
vehemently as they fight silver now.
The animus in the onp waa-fa is
precisely what it was in the other.
They know silver and silver certifi
cates are good enough money. They
knew before as" they concede now
that greenbacks were good enough
money. It was not the quality of
the money that disturbed them
That was a mere subterfuge. It was
the quantity of the greenbacks that
gave them concern. It is the proba
ble quantity of silver and silver cer
tificates that troubles them now. An
abundant currency makes the neo-
ple comparatively independent of
bafiks.'frJantsavoper
iuug mat m time tne greenbacks
and all other federal issues will
be retired, and the , issue of paper
currency placed entirely- in- their
nanas mey see that hope" vanish-.
mg , and ; a commercial-; system -of
currency growing up-a Bystemthat
puts ra uouar in coin unaer ; every
dollar of paper in circulation-that
threatens to put an end. to bank is
sues lor some time. The power to
issue the paper currency of a coun
try to expand or contract its vol
ume at will is a tremendous one.
No wonder the banks make a bold
fight to keep a grip on it. . ; - .
JUNO. Important to Soldiers---Aboni
Pensions.
¬
troduce into Congress, upon the first
call of States for bills, two pension
bills important to soldiers and their
families, and which carries out the
idea of the National Encampment
or the Grand Army of the Republic
two or three times repeated. One
bill iB for the equalization of boun-ties-s-that
is to give every soldier a
bounty at the rate of $100 per year
for the time he served.. This does not
include commissioned officers, as
such officers never get bounties for
the time they were officers. The oth
er bill is entitled "A bill to remove
the limitations in pension cases
to increase certain pensions and for
other purposes."
Sec.; 1 repeals the bar of the stat
ute to the payment of arrears of pen
sions and provides that all pensions
snail begin at the date ot disability,
Sec. 2 grants a pensien to every
nonorably discharged soldier suffer
ing from disability and who depends
on nis labor lor support. The pen
sion under this section to begin at
tne date ot this act, and if a person
claims a pension under this act he
may still prosecute his claim for
disability dating back, but when
granted an equitable distribution is
made so as not to duplicate pen
sions. The .section is carefully
guarded and permits the Govern
ment to .show that the disabilitv
was caused not by service but by
tne vice or negligence ot claimant.
The great point is to get rid of the
long red-tape process of the present
system. - -
Sec. 3 . provides that widows arid
dependent" mothers who draw; $8
shall have $12, and makes the de
pendent condition now and not at
the death of the soldier. , ; ,
Sec. 4 gives to the widow and mi
nor children of the dead soldier the
pension of the dead soldier, no mat
ter of what he died.
Sec. 5 increases the pensions of
minor children from $3 to $5 per
montn.
. Sec, 6 continues the . pension to
children unsound in mind or body
during the disability, and not to
stop at a certain period'.
Sec. 7 pensions all ex-prisoners
of war now suffering from any disa
bility without proof that the disa
bility was caused by the imprison
ment or service, the pension to be
gin at the date of discharge.
Sec. 8. When a dependent moth
er dies before her pension is allow
ed give it to her husband.
Sec. ,9 increases pensions for
total deafness to $30 per month.
Sec. 10 increases pensions for to
tal helplessness to $72, and gives
them the difference back to 1880.
Sec. 11 gives pensions to those
who have lost a leg at hip joint, or
arm at ejbow, $37.50, and provides
that if amputation, is within six
inches of these joints they shall
have the same as if at the joint.
Sec. 12 provides that if a pension
er is on the rolls for one disability,
anu ior w men ne receives less tnan
$50 per month, and has another dis
ability, he shall be .rated for thi3
also, but not in the aggregate be
yond $50 per month.

It looks as if the. Republicans
have an understanding, and intend
to make it unpleasant for Demo
cratic post masters wherever they
can. The Argm, published at Cale
donia,- Marion county, furnishes
two more cases, as follows :
"A few weeks ago it was stated
that the post master at LaKue was
boycotted, and now we learn that
the same process is going on at
Marengo, Morrow county, where the
citizens import their stamps and
take their letters to the postal car
instead of the post office, thereby
depriving the post master of his
commission on cancellation. If for
political reasons, this is a small bus
iness for any community to engage i
in. According to
the rulings of I
f
a
to
of
of
to
to
en. such silly pro
ceedings may result in the abolish
ment of the boycotted postoffices al
together. As a rule boycotting does
not pay, as those who indulge in it
find out to their sorrow ' This is a
Democratic administration, and the
Republicans can't hang onto the
postoffices by playing the-baby
game of boycotting. .-

stands, the first sugar crop was made
in Louisiana. t
Mr. Gayarre finished his legal edu

came prominent, in Slate politics,
serving as Secretary of State nnd U.
S. Senator; but his chief distinction

a writer of historic novels. Ho speaks

Justice Field, of tho United States
Supreme Court has just rendered
decision in a case coming . up from
Missouri which will be of immediate
interest to both farmers and railroad
companies. A statute ot Missouri re
quires every railroad company in tho
state to fence its tract ibrougu culti
vated fields and unenclosed lands, and
provides that the company shall be
liable in double the amount of dam
age when stock is killed or injured in
consequences of failure to build such
fences. In a case against tne Missouri
Pacific the company contended that
the statute was in violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the Federal
Constitution in that it deprived cor
porations of their property "without
due process of law and denied to
them '"the equal protection of the law
The Supreme Court sustains the'stat-
ute. It holds that the legislation was
proper exercise of the police power
to protect lite and property again
accident. "In lew instances, says
Justice Field, '"could the power be
more wisely or hcnclicieiitly exercise
ed than in compelling railroad cor
porations to enclose their roads with
ionces having galea at crossings and
cattle guArds." The failure of. the
road to comply with the law. may
justly bo deemed gross negligence,
aud when injury istioue oysucn neg
lience the Legislature has the power
increase the amount of recoverable
damages as a punishment' of the- of
fender. "The statutes of nearly every
State of the Uuiou provides for the in
crease of dannges where the injviiy
complained of, results from the neglect
duties imposed for the better se
curity of lite and property, and make
that increase in man v cases double, in
some cases treble and even quadruple
the actual damages." Ihe decision is
far-reaching importance. It affirms
the right of every State Legislature to
require. railroads to be fenced in and
subject the companies to heny
damages for any injury due of failure
comply with the la.w.
