The Congressional Printing.

Nothing can be more unsatisfactory and dis
creditable than the manner in which the public
printing at Washington is managed, on the nefa-
rious system now adopted. Members of Con-
gress, and oil who have occasion to refer to the
printed journals, documents, statutes, &C., know
how very incorrectly and disgracefully they are
published, and what necessity exists for total
change in this branch of the public service. In
dependent of this, however, there is another rea-
son why the present system should be abolished,
and that is, that it has the effect of demorazing
the public press in Washington to such an extent
that the journals of the capital are unreliable,
and not to be depended on for the communities
ton of important intelligence. The rich harvest
on which each expectant publisher has his eye
fixed in prospectu--if he can by any means man
age to get the printing contract-creates and fos-
tiers spirit of toadyism and slavishness irrecon-
cilable with the conducting of an independent
journal; and the consequence is, that the press
of Washington is a nonentity.-N. y. Herald.

Georgetown and It's Affairs.


GEoRGETowH, Jan. 1912 m
| petition is circulating through our town for
signatures, praying the Corporation to enclose the
market-house. This is good move, and one that
should have been made long ago. But better
late than never. And it is hoped that it win
meet with the unanimous approval of our town
legislators, and with prompt and speedy action.
In its present open and exposed condition, it is
a common shelter for all kinds of cattle, and a
general rendezvous for drunkards and disorderly
persons Of every sex and color. And these,
together with the cattle, frequently leave it in a
condition which is not only offensive to those of
our citizens who visit it, land especially to
females, but wholly an unfit place in which to
expose for sale meats, butter, bread, sc.
Our citizens are somewhat astonished at an
article put forth this morning under the domestic
head Of the National Intelligencer," touching a
petition which said article states to be circula-
ting in this community, asking Congress for GER
tain street improvements which, by the way, if
granted will be as five to one donation to
Washington rather than Georgetown, inasnuch
as what is asked is for paving and lighting with
gas the entire Pennsylvania avenue, with fag
end of the benefit to pass into our town. Now,
we would have the g Intelligencer," and its very
clever reporter of domestics, to understand that
a town of this District that has suffered many
wrongs by and much neglect Of Congressional
legislation does not design to suffer our just
claims for adequate remuneration for these many
wrongs to be thus cavalierly surfaced over and
paid off by few rays of city gas-ight. What
our town is asking of Congress is substantial re-
dress-nothing over nor under.
The spirit Of improvement in our town appears
to be on the increase. At the first opening of
spring the old frame tenements near the market
house, owned by the heirs of the late Mr.. Pick
rell and now occupied by Messrs. Sothoron, Jones,
and others, are to be removed, and three fine
STORY brick buildings erected in their place
This, have no doubt, will be very gratifying to
the citizens of that part Of the town, these old
buildings have for years presented quite a con-
trast to the surrounding property. Also, our en-
terprising townsman, w. H. Tenney, intends to
remodel his store and warehouse, on the corner
of High and Bridge streets, by raising it a story
higher, and by erecting handsome fancy front
of stone.
The pork market this morning is less active
and prices slightly declined from wagons
So from stores, 800. Flour and grain
market steady at yesterdays prices.
