He said that this bill relates to a very Simportant matter — namely the securing of the indebtedness of the Pa- ailroad c The Union and al Pacific owe this nation $100,000,- . The act of 1873 provided that no new stock or bonds should be issued ex- rovided in_that act.

In 1873, after the Credit Mobilier had startled the whole country, col 8s expressly declared that no new st should be 1ssued and no new obligations be assumed except on the yment of those heretofore con- tracted. Yet there has has been a new issue of stoc It is admitted the solicitor of the Union Pa under a mere subterfuge—that is, they adopted the course that is pursuul some- times by criminals, of an alias. But I never knew that a eriminal could escape for a vielation of the law by pretending that he was called yesterday by some other name than he is called to-day. The Union Pacific r ad became the Uni Pacific railway, and the all the pains sml penalties of the law fall harmless at our feet. Under this evasion the laws of this government are set at defiance. Referring to the consolidation of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific, the senator said they knew the purpose and nb']ou. of the consolidation to carry a worthless railroad, buying up its bonds at a nominal value, and its stock had not even a nominal value, and then consoli- dating it with a company which at that time stood with its stock at 120 and be- yond.

There has been no other question from 1878 till now. There is nothing else to consider- no question but the indebtedness.

AID TO COMMON SCHOOLS, I fa1l to discover in the se (Mr. Blair’s) speech, and I fail to discover in the senator’s bill, any sort of guarantee that this great boll"(] will reach a por- tion of the class which he wishes it to ch. I call his attention to the point whether the bill furnishes any g to congress or to the people, who have to pay this taxation, that that por- tion of the illiterates of the .American people will have the ‘wuctits of which he thinks will go to them. Mr. Blair: The bill provides that when taken within the states, it shall be dis- tributed without any reference to color atever, and in such a way as to equal- as far as may be the edu ntages of lasses, of all within the jurisdiction of the sta Mr, But that is a mere legisla claration in the bill.

Therefore you start with a majority of the children” needing education hav fi a minority of the schocls, This bill prevents the expendi- ture of any of the money for building school houses.

Perhaps the most ingenious thingin the way of an advertising novelty that has come out for many years, is a unique con- trivance fissued by the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company, Baltimore, Md., pro- prictors of Duffy’s pure malt whiskey. Unlike most things of the kind, with which the country has been deluged herotofore, this is a decided departure from the usual rut, and aside from being one of the most attractive things wo have ever seen, it involves a uew discovery in science which is both interesting and 1n- structive. So valuable was this discovery regarded it was awarded a first prize gold medal at the Brussel's International Ex- position, and it seems almost like prostituting science to put it to adver- tising purposes as it is something that is invaluable to institutions of learning. and would readily command a good price if puton sale. However, the Duffy people, appreciating its importance, have gotten it outin the highest artistic styls, such as will secure for it a permancnt place in every house In the country. The device is called Dufly’s Ancient Mariner's Stellar Time-Piece, its objeet being to furnish a guide whereby the cor- rect time may be ascertained at any hour of the night, by observance of the North Star and three other bright atars near it, the four stars forming a Cross or Crucifix, which revolves round the celestial pole like the hauds of a clock. By the aid of the Duffy’s device, which represents a miniature firmanent and tabular dial, the time cun be ascertained almost to the min- ute which is destined to render it invalu- able to Mariners, Hunters, IFisherman and to the masses generally, ns after a little practice, even a child will be able to tell the time at night’ Although the device is quite an expen- sive one, the proprietors intend distribut- ing it free and in time every-body in the country will haveone, Requests for same by mail, must be accompanied by six cents in postage stamps addressed to their Sup- ply Department, as alrcady they are flooded with applications, - SINGULARITIE! es like a cat’s, Milton Junction, a boy with ¢ ersey heifer died at s froui chewing tol A Massachugett won to_her second stallnent” of triplets, within fourtcen months, A mule died of hydrophobia in Houston, Mules never been ble to the discase.
