Mr. John y Dcfrcrs has long been known to
Us as Jealous politician Of the better SOFT and
a capabc editor Of the Old >c1ool We are
OF the opinion. too, thaE Mr.. De,recs, notwlth-
standing some Western IuirmucS oi temper,
manages the G,yrrum mt Printing O.ice as
crndlHIly rs that clumsy and expensive con-
Germ is likely to b. managed under existing
conditions. Bat we also believe that The pub
lie printing is IN enormous Sink ot puhHc
money. This waste is mainly owing to the
fact that Congress and ambitious bureau chci-
TOMS insist on publishing and dItiu,ing, III
cYt.ay.eaut editions, many more ana more
bulky documents than the world desires to
read, aS the bales OF paper stock IN every
irpk>hoD demonstrates but 1T i OWir% also
in noticeable degree to the fact that given
amount Of printing costs more when executed
at The Government Office than il would 1t
executed ut lHE TRIBUNE Office, or amy other
successfully conducted private establishment.
These fact, We have dUc,t upon from time 70
time with some emphasis, and the discussions
seem to have hld a cumulative and mplca>-
amt effect upon Mr.. Def,ccs. At last, in an
