Trolley Homicides. From the New York Christian Advocate. Murder is ordinarily defined by law and divided into degrees. All murder implies an intention to take human life and some pre- meditation. There are many modifications, however, of the different degrees. Then comes manslaughter, and that, also, is di- vided into degrees; but if the trolley road in Brooklyn goes on killing men, women and children under circumstances of unpar- alleled atrocity as respects the mutilation of the victims, now beheading, then tearing |limb from limb, then crushing with every aggravation of the horrid scene, a new defi- | nition will have to be made. Manslaughter | where there is a habit of killing is certainly | inadequate in any of its degrees to describe these homicides. The Broadway Cable<‘om- pany of this city for a time bade fair to distract attention from the iniquities of the | Brooklyn trolley. It is, however, improving, though still a menace to human life. Where the victim is not to blame juries should give all damages the law will alow; until, if ‘the corporation has no soul, its body (its purse) will feel. | WASHINGTON, D.

LOW CONDITION OF THE COIN RESERVE An issue of Bonds Believed to be Necessary. PROPOSED. A BILL ‘The present condition of the treasury is shown in a letter addressed by Secretary | Carlisle to Senator Voorhees, chairman of the Senate committee on finance. It is dated the 13th instant, and is accompanied by several statements, showing the press- ing necessity of financial legislation for the relief of the treasury. Secretary Carlisle says: “It will be seen from these statements that there is an urgent necessity for such immediate action as will replenish the coin reserve and enable this departmenz to con tinue the payment of public expenses and discharge the obligations of the governmeni to pensioners and other lawful creditors. “When my annual report was prepared it was estimated ‘that the expenses during the current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount of about $28,000,000, and I asked Congress for authority to issue and sell bonds or other forms of obliga- tions to an amount not exceeding $50,000,- 000, bearing a low rate of interest and hav- ing a reasonably short time to run, to en- able the Secretary of the Treasury to sup- ply such deficiencies as might occur in the revenues. Basis of Estimates. “The estimate then made was based up- on the assumption that the worst effects of our financial disturbances had already been realized, and that there would be a substan- tial increase n the revenues for the remain- der of the year. While itwas not believed that the deficiency then actually existing would be supplied by increased revenues in the future, it was hoped that no additional de- ficiency would occur, but the receipts and expenditures during the month of December and up to the 12th day of the present month show that the estimate of a defi- ciency of $28,000,000 at the close of the year was too low. The actual receipts and ex- penditures during each month of the year and the monthly deficiencies have been as follows: Actual receipts of fiscal year up té Jandary »12,. $62,085,384; actual expendi- tures, $205,643,429, being an excess of ex- penditures of $43,558,045. This excess was made up as follows: July, $8, gust, $9,414,345.18; September, $86, corcnees $5,035, 7 5 November, $7, 625.- ; Decembet 746,233.51; January, twelve dave — 715.77. “Big Deficiency. “If the same average monthly deficiencies should occur, the total difference between receipts and expenditures on the 30th day of June next will be $78,167,532. “According to the best estimate that can be made, the total receipts during the pres- ent month and the month of February will be $41,900,000, and the total expenditures will be 36u,300,000, showing a deficiency during the two months of $18,400,000; but this does not include any payments on ac- eount of the sugar bounty, claims for which to the amount of nearly $5,000,000 have al- ready been presented and are now undei investigation in the department. “The .current abilities in excess of cer- tificates and treasury notes outstanding on the 12th day of the present month were $132,327,889, The Low Coin Reserve. ‘The letter includes a statement of assets and liabilities, from which the Secretary says it appears “that the coin reserve has been reduced to $74,108,149, and it is evident from the condition of the treasury that the department will have no means to defray the ordinary expenses of the government (unless a large part of the paymen:‘s are hereafter made out of that fund. If this is done the coin reserve will be reduced by the ist of February to about $66,001.54, a sum wholly inadequate for the purposes for which it was created. “On account of this critical condition of the treasury 1 have considered it my duty, in addition to the earnest recommendations contained in my annual report, to appear twice before your committee, and after full -xplanations of the situation urg> prompt vegislative action on this subject. With the’ vermission of the committee I have prepar- od and presented for its consideration a bill vhich, if promptly passed, would, in my ypinion, meet all the requirements cf the situation by providing the necessary mean: for defraying the public expeases and re- plenishing the coin reserve to such an ex- tent as to assure the maintenance of the parity of all forms of United States cur- rency. As to a Bond Issue. “While the proposed measure of relief has not yet been disposed of or considered by the committee, the great differences of opinion which are known to exist in both branches of Congress concerning the pro- priety of granting additional or amended authority to issue bonds in any form er for any purpose render it doubtful whether new legislation upon the subject can be se- cured in time to provide the means which are imperatively demanded in order to pre- serve the credit and honor of the govern- ment. “Authority to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of maintaining specie pay- ments was expressly conferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury by the act of Jan- uary 14, 1875, but it has not been exercised since 1879, and, on account of the high rate of interest provided for, and the length of time such bonds would have to run, 1 have not been satisfied that such an emer- gency has heretofore existed as would clear- ly justify their issue. But the neceasity for relief at this time is urgent, ard the pros- tof material improvement #n the finan- cial condition of the government is 3u prob- lematical that unless authority to issue and sell shorter bonds or other obligations bear- ing a lower rate of interest than that speci- fied in the existing law is granted by Con- at a very early day I shall feel con- strained by a sense of public duty to ex- ercise the power already conferred, to the extent, at least, of providing an adequate coin reserve. “If this action should be taken Congress ought, nevertheless, to provide promptly dition of the treasury, in order that this subject may receive due consideration.” | A Proposed Bill. The bill formulated by Mr. Carlisle is as follows: An act to amend section three of “An act to provide for resumption of specie pay- ments,” approved January 14, 1875: Be it eracted by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America. in Congress assembled, that section three of “An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments,” approved January 14, 1875, be, and the same is hereby, so amend- ed that in lieu of the descriptions of bonds therein authorized the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to issue from time to time as he may deem necessary, and in such form as he may prescribe, cou- pon or registered bonds of the United States in denominations of and multiples thereof, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after —— years from date, bearing interest at a rate of not ex- ceeding 3 per cent per annum, payable quarterly in coin, and to sell the same at not less than par in coin; and the proceeds of such bonds shall be held and used to maintain the parity ef all forms of money coined or issued by the United States, but the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to use from time to time such part of such proceeds as may be necessary to supply deficiencies in the public revenues during the fiscal year 1804. Section 2. A sum sufficient to carry the provisions of this act into effect is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treas- ury not otherwise appropriated. THE PARISH COUNCILS BILL, it is Likely to Go Through the Lords by the MI le of February. Unless the house of lords disregard the compact le in the house of commons and adopt independent course on the parish councils bili, parliament and the country will see the measure completed about the middle of February and then will enter upon a period of comparative repose. Mr. Chamberlain is exciting among union- ist peers opposition to the passage of the bill, unless it be materially altered. The clause placing London vestries under the operation of the bill must be withdrawn, he says, and the unionist peers regard this Proposal as most commendable. The archbishop of Canterbury will try to insert in the bill provisions keeping the parochial and other kindred charities un- der the control of the church. An attempt | will be made also to modify the allotment clauses in the interest of the landlords. The liberal-unionist peers will lead this at tack on the measure with the covert pu! pose of destroying its efficacy. The great question is. “Will the peers dare to as- sume the responsibility of an attitude so offensive to popular sentiment?” It now se2ms more probable that after Much vehement talk they will allow the bill to pass without essential changes. The Spectator, after analyzing the situation from the liberal unionist point of view, reaches the conclusion that Lord Salisbury will not risk another collision with the house of commons, as it would imperil the existence of the house of lords. The parish councils bill extends the prin- ciple of home rule to the country ng of @ngland. Instead of a parish governed by the vestry in various honed composed of squires and clergymen, it is SOME FOREIGN ITEMS. Gossip and News That is Worth Ca« bling.
