WILFUL WASTE.

The Washington Patriot of the 18th
inst states that two days had been con-
sumed by the Senate in discussing an
amendment to the legislative appropriation
bill, in regard to the publication of the laws
in newspapers, which now costs nearly
100000 per annum, without the least
practical value whatever. The papers Sc
lected to publish the laws are generally
very obscure, eleemosynary concerns, that
rarely print more than a couple hundred
copies each. 1t is a charity sop thrown to
them, but it amounts to a very considera-
bic item in the aggregate. The original
law on this subject was enacted in
1878, long before the days of railroads
and telegraphs, and when there was
but limited communication with the capital
by means of stage coaches and bad roads.
Their was good reason at that time for
the publication of the laws in the news
papers, but, says the Patriot, the necessity
has long ceased to exist, and the old prac-
tice, like others on larger scale, has grown
into a fragrant abuse. In speaking of it,
Mr.. Anthony, chairman Of the joint Com
mittee Oh Printing, and himself an editor,
said truly: "Aly opinion is, that there is no
money the Government spends that is more
completely tbrO1gn GIUdy than this for print
ing the general laws in the newspapers"
Mr.. Trumbull reinforced this remark with
an expression that tells the whole story:
This appropriation for the publication Of
the laws in newspapers is a mere pension to
SicLiy newspapers. That is all it amounts
to-" Thist5 literally the truth, and if any evil
dence was needed to confirm what is Dotori-
Gus, it would be furnished by the zeal which
Mr.. POmeroy, Mr.. Nye, Mr.. Corbett, Mr..
Morton, and other pure patriots Of that
stripe, manifested in their efforts to preserve
this pension for the sickly organs which
support their impostures. They drummed
up the faithful friends of the President, and
voted this bareface extravaganza with the
usual efrOntery. This is theway the peoples
money is squandered upon every possible
pretext, and by such means the public ex-
penditures are kept up on almost war
footing; high tariffs are maintained for the
protection Of nonopolists, and oppress-
i've taxes are added to other burdens.

THE Chicago Tribune picked up" the
New York Times handsomely a few days
ago. 1t says:
"The opinion that the New York Times
holds concerning Carl Schurz is tolerably
well known. 1t has described him as eds
honest" 'maliciOus," and "unprincipled;"
has called hiR an ''arrant humbug," "the
most mischievous humbug in the country"
and ''pettifogging lawyer" and has sug-
gested new sphere ofSenatorial duties by
declaring that he sought to have his leg tied
to his chair when gentlemen are speaking."
1t accused him of interrupting Morton
forty-two times in one speech; declared that
he "broke in upon" COnkling thirty-one
times, and capped the climax by saying that
yesterday he tried the same game with
Senator Fessenden." As Fessenden was
buried about two years ago, this is very lit
orally grave accusation.
The Tribune does not make allowance Tor
the fact that the editor of the Times is an
Englishman, of recent importation, and that
be has not yet had time to read up and fam
iliarise himself with the history Of this coun-
try.

How THE PUBLIC TIME Is sQUAN-
nEREn

Mr.. Sherman accidentally let drop few
facts in the Senate few days ago upon the
appropriation bill, which he may not have
discovered at the time. He said:
''The Senate spent three weeks in tie
carly portion Of the Session in debating a
resolution to appoint q committee Of inves-
tigation. They spent three weeks in de-
fsating an amnesty bill. They spent three
weeks on a resolution for the investigation
Of the sale of aims. No contested bill has
been passed this session in the Senate, with
the probable exception Of the apportiOn-
ment bill, but that was scarcely contested.
No important bill has been passed"
This testimony of the Senator from Ohio,
would have been more complete, if he had,
added, that his own party are directly re-
sponsible for this delay and waste of time
Nay, he might have gone further, and told
the country that the Presidents friends,
and himself among the number, were the
Senators who had resisted inquiry, and pro-
voked debate, AMI postponed useful legisla-
ton.

THERE is trouble in the st. Louis Dem

Mckee, Mr.. Daniel Hauser and Mr.. Geo.
W. Fishback. The latter gentleman owns
one-third Of the concern, and is unable to
agree with his partners. 1t is said that they
offer him one hundred thousand dollars for
his interest. He is not satisfied with the
terms, but has made proposition to buy or
sell, which is not acceptable. The matter
is in the cour.s for settlement.

THE Philadelphia Day states that Evans,
the defaulting State agent, whose accounts
the Pennsylvania Legislature are trying to
investigate. made only about $4,000 out of
the war claim business, and that the re-
mainder of the 1921, 900 allowed for COM
mission on the claims went into the pockets
Of politicians who procured his appoint
ment and passage Of the act authorizing it,
and who aided or pretended to aid him in
collecting the claims. There is little doubt
that if the true history Of this Evans
business should be brought to light, a great
commotion would be created among some
of the most prominent Radical politicians
of the Keystone State.

a. II. LAFLIN, Naval Officer at New
York, testified before the Investigating
Committee that the errors against the Gov
eminent in the Custom-house amounted to
three or four hundred thousand dollars per
annum. This was in the examination of
papers in the entry and liquidation-division.
The mistakes he said, were more from
arithmetical calculations than from errors
of judgment. But is it not very singular
that these mistakes should all be against the
Government?

RICHARD II. GARRET, of Virginia, the
owner ofthe barn in which J. Wilkes Booth
took refuge from his pursuers, some time
since preferred a claim to Congress for CON-
pensation for the destruction of his barn.
The Senate Committee on Claims, which
had his petition under consideration, has
decidedly adversely to it, on the ground that
Ga ret's 'loyalty" was not above suspicion.
That is about the way nine-tenths Of tie
questions before Congress are decided. The
question Of right is never considered. Gar
rett is required to pay his taxes and per-
form every duty the Government requires,
but be has 10 rights which that Government
is bound 10 respect.

THE PortsmOuth{N. H. Patriot dc.
clares the late result in that State was pro-
duced by the most infamous means ever
employed in popular election, and is a
triumph of fraud, bribery and coercion
alike disgraceful to the victors and to the
State. By such means an endorsement of
Gen. Grant and his administration was OBJ
tanned. In the South, bayonets produce
Radical victories, and in the North, frauds
are substituted.

AN OVERWHELMING DEFEAT

RepublCanism is slow Of growth III Eng
land. After all the public meetings held to
promuIgate its principles and Sir Charles
Dnke's speeches against the eXpensiveness
of royalty, a resolution to investigate the
Queens expenses since 1888, could COM
mand only two votes in the House of Com
mons. Such an overwhelming defeat will
likely give the Republican movement its
quietus for an indefinite period. 1t shows
that no part Of the British Islands is ripe
for Radical change. Even Ireland, with
its chronic discomfort, did not give a single
vote for the resolution. The two
members, who out of the two humid
red and seyenty-siX voting, supported
the motion, were Englishmen, representing
English constituents. The fact is, Republic
canism has fallen into disrepute of late.
The unsettled condition of France and the
prevalent dishonesty Of the dominant party
in this country, convey their own COM
mentary. Englishmen contrast the stabil-
ity and honesty of their own Government
with the unhappy condition of the French
and the corruption which permeateS the
administration at Washington, and are con-
tent 10 endure the ills of royalty rather
than risk revolution and robbery under
the rule of such men as Theirs and Grant.
