Mr.. Cobb's remarks on this question are

had preferred almost continually to feed at

The Washington Manufacturing Company

a few days ago who had asked for higher
wages. The men became enraged at the
treatment, and accompanied by their wives
and children surrounded the residence of the

the mill, but were dispersed by the police af-

This result has boon brought about prin-
cipally by the mean rivalry and Jealousy Of
New York City. When the celebration of
the Centennial by an International exposition
was first agitatcd, New Yorkers endeayored to
have their city selected as the location, but
falling in that, they have kept up a constant
masked fight against 1t, and in this, Boston,
(which also desired to have it, Joined, and
of course, other parts Of New England fol-

The Centennial of American Independence
deserves q fitting celebration, and We can con-
ceive of no more appropriate way Of doing
this than by an exhibition of the mechanical,
scientific, educational and artistic develop
ments of the Union in friendly competition
with the long established civilization Of the
old world. The money that would be re-
quiredto do this creditably would be more than
repaid to. us as . nation in the patriotism
which it would inspire, in the, fraternal feel
ings which it would establish between diff
fsrent portions Of the country, and in, the in,
creased demand which it would be likely to.
create for our mechanical and other produc-
tiops in foreign countries. ..t fan,Fil tss4ssi
After Congress has sanctioned the undertake
ing and has invited other governments to par
ticipate in it, and after, so much preliminary
work has been done toward getting the UNDER
taking into working shape, it seems disgrace
full to the nationIt to thus squelch it. aa'
If Charles Francis Adams. ThurIow Weed,
Chas. Sumner, and numerous other public
men wish to make the celebration one of
speeches and fire crackers, instead of an ex-
hibition of the material products of the me-.
chanical artistic, and intellectual forces of the
nation, las their remarks clearly indicated, lot
this feature be incorporated into the plan of
the exhibition. Let a portienlo of the building
be set apart for this purpose Sumner and
Adams setting off fire-orackers and speeches
and sky rockets, would be no doubt a very
interesting part Of the exhibition--to them
and would, besides, afford Mast very good
subject for cartoon. If that will help along
the appropriation. by all means let these gen.
tlemen make speeches and burn squibs. ..

RICHES TAKE. TO THEMSELVES WISes.--
The fight of riches and the folly of those
who lavish money wasteful,y were never bet
ter Illustrated than in the case of the late
Legrand LOCKWOOD splendid marble palace
at Norwalk, Conn. There are forty acres OF
finely ,ornamented grounds, in the centre OF
which is a stately structure costing some 81,
100000. On the premises are three other
handsome buildings, porter lodge, conserya-
tories, stables, and SO on. The house is re-
splendent with polished marbles, fiescoes. in-
laid woodwork of the most costly kind, doors
which cost 81, 900 each, a billiard room on
which $4,000 was expended I; and there are
forty-nine rooms thus. gorgcouslyl decorated,
no two of which are alike. 1t is estimated
that between 100000 and $4,000, 600 Of
very hard cash found a grave in this monu-
ment of extravagance. And yet the entire es-
Enlistment is now on the market for less
than $SJ0,OO0. 8sasai as AfAsas 5isgIs sd.

Mr. Garfield, chairman of the Committee
OH Appropriations, made speech in the
House on last Thursday in regard to the fl
nancial condition of the Government He
said that the Government began the fiscal
year with a surplus of $4s, 600, 600, which has
since been very seriously diminislled making
q decided rerenehmeiit Of expenses neces-
sary. The reason of the failure to make both
ends meet this year is that since 1868 taxes
that produced sSl9, 900, 600 annually have been
repealed. Ia 1872, against the warming of the
Treasury Department thatEit conld hot he af-
.farded, a rednetionof So, 600, 900 was made.
The expenses of the Government had also
been greatly cut down, having been in 1873
$3.50, 600, geo less than they were in 1885,
They have been reduced every year since the
war. ltwas the cutting down of income that
destroyed the surplus in the Treasury, and
not extravaganza expenses. Il In regard to the
next fiscal year, Mr.. Garfield said that his com
niittee had reduced the estimates to the, ex-
tcntof 81 900, 900, and would probably re-
duce them s34, 000, 600 before they were. done.
His idea of the right way to meet the present
emergency was to dispense with all needless
expenditures now, and to put off till better
timus these enterprises which do not immedi.
ately concern the public welfare. g s.sg 81
