Congress costs the people pretty nearly $3,000000 a year, or about 85000 an hour for the time it is actually In session, and yet in three months it has managed to pass Just three bills, One of these is merely a per- functory piece of work: the passage of a wi claims bill merely appropriates fixed sums to pay the allowance made by the quarter- master’s department, and a couple of semi- Pr te measures for the releif of some Indians, What it has failed to do in the passage of bills it has, however, made up in the Introduction of them, tor the number in- oduced in_the house and senate now reaches over 7,000, HEEDS A8 THIRD CLASS MATTER.

WasINGTON, Feb, 235 —After the transae- tion of rouline business, Mr. Mitchell ob- tained the floor to deliver a speech on the bill yecently introduced by him to provide for the abrogation of all treaties permitting the i wration of Chinese to the United States. Mitehell was about to proceed, Mr, i it wits 50 late yesterday afternoon Wwhen My, George completed his speech on the education bill that he (IHale) had not thought it worth while then to interfere with the consiceration of the bill named, but now gave notice that to-day, on the completion of My, Mitchell's womarks, he (Hale) would move that the senate commence the eon- sideration of executive business, Litehell then addressed the senate, Litehell having tinished his addr in Lehalt of the bill, the education bill was taken up, Allison made formal presentation of gosted by him vesterday, ect that where s rate White and scolored schools exist, the woney should be id out for the support of such white and olored schools in “the proportion that the illiteracy the white and colored persons aforesald bear to each other, as skown by the cens A Allison said the amendment placed the b Uy o tho basis of illiteraoy, He in- quited whether the domoeratie senators, whose race had opposed the colored race for 200 years, would bo willing to take from one- third to ane-half the woney of the bill? Was it possible that the white race, with the ad- valitage of race and eolor, would not consent that tho poverty stricken ecolored schoals should not have as mueh of this money as their illiteracy entitled them to? Even with allthe woney voted by the bill there would be wany children who would get no edueca- tion af all, and since therd was to be a sermblo for this woney, as well as for the money raised for education by taxation in the soveral states,. M. Allison insistedt that as to that scramble we should sce to it that the people who are illiterate, and whom we propose to_aid, shionld have their share of this was for this purpose that he had_ introduced his amendment. The white children, Mr, Aliison said, had the advantage of educated assoclations, but the colored child had not. Yet we were asked to give dollar for dollar to both races on an equality—one race being al- ly educatedand having a start of the other y thousands of years ol intellectual traini and in case of which the states already mak distinetion by a_separation ~ of schools, By every consideration of law and reason and justice, the south was honnd to educate its colored people. For hundreds of years the white people there had had the Ia- bor of these people and their fathers, and had made themselves rich on that labor. Could they say that it was not their duty now to educate them? Mr. Allison was willing to respect the con- stitutional scruples of the southern senators, in the maiter of the general government not following this money into the states, but the application of the money siould be made so a8 to cover the illiterates, no matter of what race or color. Statistics show that otherwise wa were merely providing for the education of the white race of the south, wiich Mr. Alli- son thought abundantly able to educato its own children, The state ot Towa, Allison said, did not desire the money. It would only get from the bill 10 cents for each ehild of school ioy 7 hiad @ seliool fund of four million dollars, and raised by® taxes ever car five and a'half mills for sehools. ‘Thero was no dangerous illiteracy in the north. As our soutlern friend said they were not able to cope with illiteracy in_their scetion, he (Allison) was willing' that the gener government should aid them, buy the mone should be applied to the illiterate and not to the intelligent people of the souti, Mr. Millerof Nesy York spoke in favor of the bill and, after an executive session, the senate adjourne money. 1t Hou WasHiNGTON, Feb. from the committee on rules, reported asub- stitute for the Hanback and Pulitzer resolu- tions, dirceting inquiry into the Pan Electric telephone matter as follows: Resolved, That o select conumittee, con- Mr, Morrison, sisting of nine wembers of | this house, be appointed, and when so appointed, the committee IS hereby directed, at_as carly y . {0 nquiry into_any the part of the government ineuw the rights of the Bell and Pan phone companies to priority of patents, said naquiries to include all organizations and companies that sprunzout of the Pan Electric company, or for any other purposes and also to make 1ull inquiry into the i ance of the stock known as the Pan Elec Telephione company, fo_any: person ot per- sons connected with either the legislative, Judicial or execntive departments of the g ernmentot the United States, to whom, where when and for what money ot influence said was delivered; also, as to what isions and orders ha been m y any ofticers connected with the gov- ernment, and by whom, and all circum- stances connectéd therewith and arising therefrom, and said committee i further authorized and directed to ascertain and re- port whether either of the telephone com- antes mentioned, or their officers, agentsand employes have in any manner improperly i fluenced or attempteil to influence oflicials or official action or through the press, and, if so, when, by whow, and_in_what manner such influence was éxerted or attempted to be exerted, and what newspapers were o used or attempted to be nsmlll{ them, d committee shall have the right {o send persons and papers, to administer oaths, to sit during the sessions of the house, to em- ploy ast her and incur any or all such eSS onable expenses as may r the purpose of constructing tion 1ot to exceed the sum ot 1,000, ‘which shall be paid out of the con- tingent fund of the house upon preper vouch- ers certified by the ehairman and one_other member of the committee, and may report at any time.

What Was Done at Yesterday's Session of Towa's General Assembly. A STERLING NEBRASKA TOWN. A Gang of Swindlers Haunled Up at Bloomington—The News of Judge Mitchell's Death at Nebraska City. The Towa Legislature. Des Moixes, Iowa, Feb. 26— [Special Telegram.]—Tho house passed to-day the Boges bill for the creation and operation of tribunals of voluntary arbitration to adjust industrial disputes between employers and employes, The bill provides that a board of arbitration, consisting of two employers, two workmen, and a fifth chosen by them, shall be appointed by the district judge at the re- quest of at least twenty workmen and tour individual firms or employers, each of whom shall employ at least five workmen, or at the request of a representative of one firm or in- dividual employing at least twenty wor men. This board is to be empowered to set- tle disputes between employers and wor men, and their decision shall be a judgment entered on the records of the court, and en- forced in the usual manner. There was the most _spirited debate of the session 8o far in the house to-day, on the senate concurrent resolution to leave the in- vestigation of a site for a_soldiers’ howe to the milttary committze of the senate, and the soldiers’ home committee of the house. The resolution was introduced in the senate by Sutton, and the impression prevailed to some extent that it was in the interest of Marshall- town. There is a strong lobby from that city here working for the soldiers’ home, and the representatives of rival cities find that committee named many the already be favorably disposed to that point. There Is going to be a big fight over the location of this home, and the Marshalltown people seem to think that they now have the lead. The resolution was laid over till to- morrow. Resolutions of respect tor the late Judge Mitehell, member of the Ninth gen- eral assembly, who died at the reunion yes- terday, were passed by the legislature, and a Joint committeo appointed to aecompany the remains to Nebr: the committee consisting of Senators Carson, Poyn and Gault, and Representatives Riley, Cousins, Russell, Mitchell and Bailey.

It is well known that the railroads o not pay much over half of their proportion of taxes, and rich developments are expected should the resolution pass, as it likely will. In the house a preliminary skirmish on the anti-pass bill indicated that the vote on its final passage will be very close. The rail- rond committee endeavored to shirk respon- sibility in tho matter and the bill was sent back to them for some definite action and will not come up again till late in the ses- sion, ‘The committees are working away quictly and have sent in few important measures. ‘The consideration of the Hayes investiga- ion has been postponed till 10 o’clock to- morrow, and there is an impression gradu- ally spreading through the assembly that no investigation will be ordered.

There will be nothing very strange in this, and the liouse will fn all” probability allow things to continue just as they have done from time mmemorial. But the investigas tion leads a gentleman, who is pretty well posted on the inside history of the legisla~ ture of linois, to some reminiscences touch= ing the manner in which employes were ap- pointed under Speaker Haines a year or tw ago. “Atone tim said he, “there were® ninety-eight Janitors and upwards of 100 pages on the pay roll. ployes of this character were “Oh, they did not work,” he "hey simply put them there to draw their ‘The resolution was rushed through one night, and when it was signed next day it was found that it simply allowed the officers of the hodse to appoint such help as they might find necessary. 1 think,” he con- tinued, at you will find that the pay rolls of every state government have at various times been loaded down with a class of men who did very little work for the pay which they drew so regularly. INHERITS 118 FATHER'S BRILLIANCY. A great deal of surprise had been expressed over the maiden speech ot Delegate Charles Voorhees from Washington territory. It oe= curred early in the week, whengthe bill forthe extension of Washington territory was under discussion in the house. Hill of Ohio very indiscretely charged that the object of the bill was a land grab, This brought Mr, Voor- hees to his feet, and he established himself fant and forcible oratox ugsion, He ny of the points which make his Senator Dan Voorhees of Indiana, so eminent in the senate, and all those who heard him the other day predict that there is a brilliant political carcer before him, if he chooses to follow it. HE SILVER COINAGE QUESTION, Just when the silver debate will begin in the house it is dificult to prediet, Itwas thought at first that next Tuesday would see the first gun fired, but thi inot be now, and Inall probability it will be well aloniz toward the middle of M \ before the finan- al orators on cach side of the silver questiop will bé able to start the discussion. It s more certain than ever that nothing will be done toward solving the silver problem. Al biI for unlimited colnage might pass both'y #45 houses, but it certalnly would be vetoed by thepresident, and there is not enough of # majority in the house or senate to pass sucha bill over the president’s veto. No suspension bill could possibly pass, and the anti-silver men have given up all idea of securing an agreement upon & coMPromise measure, THE » LONG Nearly three months has passed since the reformers who compose the Forty-ninth con- gress made Springer, Morrison and other shining lights of the democratic party prom= ise that the session would be noticeable for its brevity. Although exceptionally short, the session was to be an excecedingly brilliant one. A number of very important measures were to be acted upon, and the coming fall was to see the renas > of legislative active ity. The most important appropriation bills are still in commitice. Many of them have not been taken up by the cormmittee o a whole, The important financial an commercial measures which were to be carly discussed and acted upon have not yet been reported to the house, and there is no prospeet that they will be in the near future, The [ bill cannot be reported back until the 20th of March, and it will take a month to discuss it in the house alor The inter- state commerce bill will oceupy nearly as much time, while if the honse ever reaches the bankruptey question, many days and weeks must elapse bofore a vote can ba reached on that measure, There are severak important bills changing the pension laws before the committees, two or three measures relating to shipping, the Tehuantepe way bill, and various measures looking to the solution of the labor problem all to be discuss From this outlook 1t is difiicult to how an adjournment can possibly be reached before the end of July, and even then there will remain far more work un- done than there will be accomplished when the speak: vel falls for the last time this session, ——— Watterson Cor LouisvinLe, Feb, % wtterson was kept free from exciting interruptions to-day, the result being to his advantage, Heo is doing as well as could be hoped for under the eir cumstances, and his slow recovery is the natural result of the weakness to which his system had been reduced by the areat strafy of six weeks of abnost deathly illness, -~ Weather I'or To-day, Missount VALLEY—Local rains or snows; winds generally southwesterly; slightly cold ather i northern portions rising followed by falling emperature in- southern lescent, A ofula I probably more other disease.
