~ Washington, ID. u, November 21th, 1890.
Sir: The Land Warrant market, from various
causes, has become dull fiat, and heavy, and prices
which have been declining gradually for several
weeks have suddenly fallen to figures far below the
antcipatons Of dealers. The supply Of Warrants at
all points in the Northwest where they required
for the purpose Of location, far exceeds the demand,
consequently holders are compelled TO realize at de-
preciaed and ruinous rates Superadded to this the
Pension Office is daily issuing from five to six hun
dred, which, as soon as they can be prepared, are
are nomnally quoted to-day at the following rates
40 81 0s; l26 ST. 80 81 Oh 100, 81 o. per acre, and
dealers will not bind themselves to pay those prices
for one day esea the prevailing opinion being, at all
points, where Warrants are bought and sold, that
they will rapidly decline to much Tess than one dollar
per acre. for all denominations. At
How long the market will continue in fuctuating
and declining state, il is impossible TO say. Many
experienced and intelligent dealers think that the
large number now in Market together with the daily
issues from the Pension Office. which most Of the
rantees IRE from necessity compelled to realize, will
keep the market in its present depressed state for
time certainly until the ensuing spring and even then
it is not anticipated that warrants will command the
prices they have sustained since the issue commenced
under the act of March 8, 1855, for the reason,
amongst others, that the warrants which have accl-
INFLATED in the hands of Spectators will have to be
sold Mt whatever prices can be realized
Another circumstance which will have a tendency
TO keep the prices of warrants down, IL, that siren
efforts will he made at the approaching session
of Congress- to extend the provisions of the act of
March 3, 1885, to those persons who have served du
ring any one Of the wars. less than fourteen days.
and also to the children of the soldiers of the Revou
ton without regard to their minority Should the act
be extended ss herein indicated, large number Of
warrants will be issued equal to at least onethrd of
those now authorized.
We deem it a duty to state frankly to our cores,
pondepts the true state Of the market and the pros
pect ahead in regard TO prices that hereafter it
cannot be alleged we did not advise them what they
might anticipate.
In the present view of the market, we think it ad-
visable TO say to friends, that although we
not pay the liberal prices we have heretofore shall
allow the highest current rates for all warrants sent
to address; and having reliable correspondents
at all the different points where warrants required
for location, we shall have il in our power to return
the highest prices
We remain, very respectfully,
your obedient servsnts, 81

SCIENCE ART AND DfsCovERY.-THE COLOSSAL
WASHINGTON MONUMENT. casting of the horse
for this monument, at Munich, is one of the great
feats of modern foundry as fifteen tons Of bronze
had to be melted and kept in a state of fnidity.
For several days and nights previously large fire
was at these huge masses, which required to be
stirred at times. When the bronze was hqui6ed,
an ultimate essay was made in small trial cast,
and to heighten the color some more copper was
added Successfully all the chambers through
which the metal had to flow in the form were
cleared OF the coal with which they had been kept
warm, and the master examined all the air spira.
ces and the issues of the metal the props of the
tubes were then placed, and every man had his
duty and place assigned to him. Finally, the mas
ter, amid the intense expectation of the many art
amateurs present, pronounced the words In the
name Of God" and then three mighty strokes
opened the fiery gulf out of which the glowing
metal flowed 10 circuit to the large FORM The
sight was magnificent, and in the little sea Of fire
stood the master, and gave his commands about
the successive opening Of the props. Hot vapor
poured from the air spiraces; in the conduts, the
metal boiled in waves; STILL decision yet, as the
influx Of the bronze in the very veins Of the figure
could be but slow. At once flaming showers
Jumped out Of the air conduits and the master pro-
claimed the cast to have succeeded, A loud cheer
followed when the master approached Mr.. Craw-
ford, the artist Of the Washington Monument, to
congratulate him upon this success. Another cheer
vas given 10 NJ. dc Miller, the chief Of the royal
foundry of Munich, who had personally conducted
the work.--Ihe Builder.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING or CONGRESS- The New
York Sunday Mercury gives brief sketch of the
rise, condition, progress, and available profits Of
the Office Of public printer, from which we learn
that prior to the year l819 the office OF printer to
Congress was unknown TO the country. What
printing Congress required was executed by Sam
uel H. Smith and Matthew L. Davis as common
Job work Mr.. Davis removed to New York city,
and Mr. Smith, after conducting the National In
teligencer till about the year 1907, sold out to
Joseph Gales and William Seaton,> who took with
the Intelligencer the Congressional printing, and
held 1t without molestation till about the end OF
the year 1918, when, finding that they were about
10 be surrounded by competitors, they went to
work and obtained the passage of joint resolu-
ton of the two Houses creating the office of Con-
gressonal printer, and provision for tariff Of
prices.
Through this arrangement they were enabled to
monopolze the public printing till the year 1882,
when, on the accession Of General Jackson to the
Presidency, it was voted away from them and given
to General Duff Green, Of the Washington Tele-
graph From that time forth it became bone Of
contention, and passed into the hands of Francis
p. Blair Blair Il Rves Thomas Allen and others.
The original Joint resolution of 1919, which Gales
& Seaton originated, and which yielded them i'm
mense profits year after year, was never repealed,
though often modified. In the year 1925 We think
ii was, II was so far modified as to allow each OF
the Houses of Congress to elect their own printer.
The tariff Of prices had been often reduced by de-
Quoting ten, fifteen and twenty per cent. from the
old rates. but the parent resolution of 1879 still
retains its pristine vitality.-Amer. Democrat.

TIE MAILS AaAIS,--This morning we met n
gentleman Of our city, (says the New Orleans Pic
ayune,) arrived last night in six days and ten
hours frem New York, who informs US that as he
came down the Alabama river, at Claiborne, the
captain of the boat was asked If he would wait
half an hour for three mails lying at the post office
there' which he declined to do, as half an hours
steam was worth more TO him and his boat than
fifteen doliarsi Although we all wish that these
mails were here, yet no one can blame the captain
for consulting his pecunary interests in refusing
to bring them forward.
But this is not what we want to speak about.
It is the miserable way in which New Orleans is
treated by the Post Office Department. How long
must we submit to this shameful imposition Are
we not entitled, in the South, TO as much regard
by the Government as the Northern people are ?
Indeed, should there not be a little extra care
taken, in this particular to assist less propi
tous mail facilities. II fayoritsmis shown at all9
