It is understood that the tiouso commlttco
on nccounts will shortly report a bill provid
ing a clerk for every member of the house
of representatives At present It is only the
chairman ut n commlttco who Is provided
with a cleric , and even then there Is not a
clerk for every chairman , there bolng only
thlrtv nine clerks for llfty sk committees ,
so that in n number of eases ono clerk is as
signed to two or oven thrco committees The
idea of giving every mombci n clcik has
boon frequently biought up in the house nnd
the committees but hitherto the nccounts
committco has luvaiiablv bceu nfiald to report
port a bill to that end Mr bhiiw of Mari
laud , who was chairman of the commlttco
last session , snid openly thnt ho bcllovcd
every member should hnvon dork , but never
permitted bis committco to report the bill
simply oecaUBO ho deemed It inexpedient
It can not bo denied that there are many
good reasons lor allowing ovori member
a clerk No memoer cun answer the letters
sent to bun by his constituents nnd poiform
biB duties in the bouso without having a
clerk Lvcry mull brings eich member a

Washington Kvcry sensible congressman
recognizes the perfect right that all these
correspondents have to an answer , but It is
simply Impossible for them to be piesont at
tlio sessions of the liouso nnd nt the same
time fulfill tbo wishes of their constituents
rhov llnd ittiocessury to hire clciks It is
not fair to ask them to nay these clciks out
of their own meagro salary for work done
solely for their constituents The clerk is
working for the constituents and it is only
right and just thnt the constituents should
pay the clerk hire Iho accounts couimitteo
tukes this cqultuolo view of the in lttcr nnd

An unexpected and powerful objection Is
being raised to the bill Introduced in the
Bonato by Mr Paddock and in the house by
two or three members proposing to reduce
the minimum capital of national banks in
small cities to $10 000 The minimum is nt
prcsont $ j0,000 Han iters are writing-their
representatives that under the provisions of
this bill national banks would bo established
by persons with a capital of $10 000 for the
purpose of early insolvency A man or
woman with but 110,000 could establish a
baqu under this measure , control all of tbo
deposits and go into fraudulent liquidation ,
or voluntary bankruptcy without being ha
bio for moro than an additional $10 000 out
side the capital , although the deposits might
agrcgato$500 ( OIK ) A private bank cannot
boorhanizod on this principle foi fraudulent
purposes btcauso the financial worth of the
owner stands ns security , whereas the fed
eral laws und the capital stock alone act as n
guaranty for depositors In a national bank
It looks as though the bill would bo defeated
