The neglect of Congress to make the apprO-
priation necessary to carry on the printing of
the Post Office department may be remem-
hered at next election against some of its
members, whose constituents live in sparseiy
settled regions. The stoppage of the registry
system, which results from this neglect, is
turtful to business interests generally, but is
especially injurious in those parts of the cOun-
uywhere there is no express transportation,
"ho' In their passage to and from which, m oney
anu osner vaiuables must be sent by mail. A
man hSihg In such place when denied the
SAFETY Oh the registry system, must expose his
money 10 loss by sending it in the ordinary
way through the mails, or else run the rick Of
running his credit by a failure to meet his en-.
gagemeltS.

Important, If True.

The European correspondent of a leading
New York newspaper, who not long ago
laid bare all the secrets of Russian and
Austrian diplomacy by publishing an in
teryiew with Ignatieff, seems To have
shifted The scene of his operations to
Paris. cable dispatch has been received
from that city announcing that it is under
stood on high authority that arrangements for
the secession of some three million bishops,
rectors. curateS, deacons and layman from the
Church of England to the Roman Catholic
Church are being effected. Before the cor
respondent returns To this country he should
ascertain exactly what Pope Leo's policy will
be and discover the precise reasons for Lord
Derby's resignation.

We have various communica ions, some
argumentative, some vehement and some de.
cidedly explosive, dealing with the situation
of District affairs in Congress, but the
writers will doubtless, on sober second
thought, agree with us that the waste basket is
the best place for them 1t is best not to dis
tract the Congressional mind from the con-
sideration of the main object of District inter
ests by controversies upon side issues and
personal matters When Congress has def
nitely settled the matter of Government eQui-
ties towards the District, than We can start
our debating club to discuss the other ques-
tions.

Discriminating Against Washington,


The business men of this District who are
importers of foreign merchandise are subjected
to great loss of time and much expense and
inconvenience in consequence of not being
able to have their goods sent to them in bond
direct from the ports of arrival This privilege
has been extended to all the principal ports in
the country, and applies also to such minor
places as Evansville, Indiana: Milwaukee:
Portland, Oregon and Genesee, New York
A bill has just passed the House of Represen-
tatiyeS extending this privilege to Bath, in the
state OF Maine, a town of less than 1900 in
habitants. Pending action on this bill a petit
ton from the business men of the District of
Columbia asking for a like enactment to ap-
ply TO Georgetown was disregarded notwith-
standing the fact that the district included i'm
the jurisdiction of the Georgetown custom
house embraces Washington and the entire
left bank of the Potomac river from the head
OF tide water to POmonkey creek-a distance
OF thirty mileS-an area containing a pOpula-
ton of more than 10000.
When II Is considered that what is asked for
can In no possible way add an additional
penny's expense to the government, there
being already here an ample custom house. a
collector, several deputies and all other Gus
tom house applanceS,-it is difficult to see
what motive could have induced the House to
disregard so reasonable request.
The bill extending the privileges to Blth.
referred to above, is now before the Senate
committee on commerce, and we trust it will
be so amended there as to incude GEORGETOWN.
III Congress can do nothing for The national
capital there isnO need to discriminate against
