The LandauIet Business.

When Attorney General Williams
gave up the famous land; ulo; which
brought his overwhelming ambition
to grief, it was supposed that il due
course of time all other Government
officials who were sporting handsome
equipagcs Mt the public expense
would follow his example. Since
last winter attention has several
times been called to this matter, but
there are number of high officials
who continue to defy public opinion
drawing money from tho Treasury to
keep up carriages for their families.
No less person than Senator Conk.
ling, Of New York, has remarked
that Senators have as much right to
keep carriages at the public expense
as any of the department. officials.
This view seems to be rapidly com-
ing in favor and several members
of both Houses now say that they
are determined either that Che de.
partment officials shall stop this
pratice or that Congressman shall
enjoy the same privileges.
