The practice bas been uniform for so anany years that Mr. Cleveland’s proposed funovation excites wonder. Arguments for end aeainst are very evenly balanced. Congress has a way of putting everything off until the last moment where that is possible, nd then trusting to log-rolling, good nature and pure luck to get its work finished in time. Bad : legislation has to run a close race with good, and is often allowed to slip through by a stretch on the conscience on the part of the usuaily prudent and conserva- tive members, in the fear that any interfer- ence with it would iniperil their own worthy Dills, and in the hope that the president will be able to detect the more conspicuous abuse and withhold his signature, T'his throws an fmmense and wholly unwarrantable re- sponsibility upon the executive, who is often obliged to crowd into a half a dozen hours a work of investigation and judgment which could properly oceupy as many weeks of his time, The feeling that he is close at hand and that he can be reached and urged, if necessary, make members who have Dbills of general interest in charge rather enttoward thoso who are pushing spe schemes, and right of way s sometimes tem- porarily given to matters which the least ae- serve, “There s a great deal of complaint Just now about the declaration of Randall, chairman of the comnmittee on appropria- tions, that he intends to have the floor of the house whenever he wants it for his measures and the endorsement of that announcement by Speaker Catlisle. 1t is mlllkel{ that more than a dozen general measures will be passed before the end of the session, next Friday other than appropriation bills, SIGNAL SERVICE MEN PLEASED, ‘The ofticers and men of the signal service soem well pleased with the passage of the sgricultural department bill, which provides for the transfer of the weather bureau.

The loss of this valuable ware greatly disturbed Judge Bynum, and in his efforts to get a clue he made a visit to the ofiice of the Sonthern Express company in the hope of finding trace of its shipuient, In this, however, he “was ansuccessful, and he had turned to leave the oftice, when one of the clerks called him back. *“There is a heavy box for you here, the clerk, “shippad from New York. “Well,” the Slllh{ answered adstractedly, “send it down to my house,” _Judge Bynum then returned to his law _of- and all thoughts of the box passed from his mind.

Shippers’ sixty documentary bills on London soid at 4 48414, and the market closed quiet at 455, 484, ‘The New York stock market was not par- ticularly attracted to speculative operato during the week and trading was lh:ll!t. No prominent or important factors were brought 1o the surface and larse traders were not in- clined to do much business. Outside orders were lacking, and the bulk of trade was credited to home traders. Chicago operators apparently took little interest in stoc local grain and provislon markets were more attractive. Fluctuations in prices, with very fow exceptions, were slight, though the uri- dertone indicated more strength. Trading on foreign account was comvaratively light. though American securities commenced at_ slightly advaneed prices. In London foreign securities were steadier, due to more Pacitic news and less prospect of war. Sales on the New York 8 exchange for the week were 1,400,000 res, Petroleum attracted more attention than usual during the last wee Trading was unusually active, Prices finetuated consid- erably an ider rane than usual.

Supplies of PaTensoy, N. There are more than five thousand sllk operatives out of work. The trouble started with the dyers because the employers would not azree o a new schedule of wages anc conditions, The first of the conditions was that no one should be employed but Knizhts of Labor and mem- bers of the Dyers” union, and that all_em- ployers should deduet trom the wages of the Diarids their union dues and assessments, The employers said they could not do this. 1t was a question of control of their business, and if it had to be settled, it was best to settle it now. Stopping working by 1,600 dyers soon began to Lhave ef t on the other workers, and soon after the workmen in all other de- tments were laid off until the number is wbout one-third of all in_the business here, If the strike keeps np two weeks longer the remaining 10,000 workmen will be idle, 1t is the 1oss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city in one way and another. - CITIZENS' BANK, 2408 Cuming Street, Omaha, Neb.
