attacks o. common sense since the opening Of

! iolrn by the end of next week Is the most
Sci .ous and would he the most beneficial Of
all. But 1t is q little bit curious. after all, 10

proposing to adjourn, for fear they shall make
fools Of themselves in a body.
A letter from staff correspondent, on an
/ other page, gives Eastern readers an insight
into the striking growth Of the two great in
dustries of the Saginaw Valley, in Michigan.
/ The figures gwen OF the lumber trade Of that
great pine region show the marvellous speed OF

There is 10 doubt # the risk Of carrying on
the business of printing bank notes and stamps
| an ,he Treasury building at Washington.
Great care, continually exercised, may prevent
fi1e there from doing much damage, but the
| liability to fire IS a necessity of the business.
| The rags used in wiping the engraved plates,
being saturated with oil, are prone to sron-
taneous combustion. The printed paper has to
| be dried by artificial heat Evidently the
Treasury building is no place for such pro-
cesSes. The superior economy with which the
! Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been
managed is, in fact, the only excuse for hav-
ing such manufacture carried on by tho
| Government instead Of by private enterprise.
General GhOUrkO'S victory, on the Sophia
road, is one oi The heaviest blows which 0s-
man Pasha has suffered since he undertook

or they may repeat the assaults which, 50 for,

piaus.bly set forth in a Washington letter,
