THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Detrccs and H,ttchins.

DefrccS and H,ttciinS.
The committee on printing of the House
on Tuesday resumed consideration of the
subject in relation to the management of
the government printing Office. The state
ment of MIR. Defrees, in reply to the charge
made by Stilson Hutchins, that the Office is
conducted extravagantly, was submitted and
read. Mr.. Defrees, in answer to the charge
that the public printer employs from 1900
to $500 persons, and is allowed to employ
just SIS many men and women as he pleases
on such terms as he may establish, says that
he does not think the payroll ever exceeded
1880 and certainly never reached anywhere
near $500. In reply to the charge that the
present public printer purchased during last
year $4l 900 worth of nonpariel type, for
which he paid 66 cents per pound, Mr.. De-
frees says that only $13, 1873 worth of non
pariel were purchased instead of $41 900,
as asserted, and that the type-founders of
various cities agree upon a uniform price
list, pledging themselves to adhere to it. Mr..
Defrees further says:
The government printing Office is not a
political machine in any odious sense. do
not know the politics of fifty men in the
Office. have never asked man about his
political faith. l suppose that large ma
iority employed here are Republicans, though
I understand that there are a great many
Democrats, especially in the bindery. will
frankly say, however, that If I wanted
to employ composltor, and two of equal
qualifications were to present themselves, [
should give the Republican the preference.
During long life, and with most extensive
acquaintance with Democrats, with whom I
have always had and now have many per-
sonal friends, do not know one of them
that would not in my position reverse my
action, and takea Democrat. have arrived
at that time of life when I cannot expect
long to have any interest in the public
printing, and I desire to put on record, for
whatever it may be worth, my opinion from
an experience in the printing business dating
back to my apprenticeship, fftyfour years
ago, that in no other way can the govern
ment printing be so we'll, so promptly and
SO economically executed as under the
present system.
Mr.. Hutchins at some length responded to
this statement of Mr.. Defrees, reiteratine
former charges made by him. The com.
mittee adjourned without taking any action

VANDERBILT, before starting for Europe,
acknowledged that he was the posscssor of
half a million dollars worth of personal
property, and paid little over twelve thou
sand dollars into the New York city treasury.
Repentance is to be commended always, but
how can he account for the accumulation of
so much property in year. 1t is but a few
months since he swore he hadn't dollar 3
worth of personal property liable to taxation.
He has evidently been very industrious siuce
that time.

HE English people are nothing if not
aristocratic. Even the oarsmen of the coun-
try are high-toned, especially whom they are
overmatched in skill and muscle. The
board of control of the Henley races has
just excluded from those contests the Shoe
wa cae-mette crew that made such brilliant
record last year on the ground that they are
mechanics. OF course it would be intra dig
for gentlemen to enter into o contest with
men who earn their living.

The Drinking Fountain.

To the Editor of the Globe.
It has been found necessary to remove the
drinking fountain from the corner of Robert
and Fourth streets, because it was an OBJ
struction to Improvements going on there.
Drivers of horses express their regrets, as
would the poor brutes themselves if they
could give utterance to their feelings, and
we are sure there will be a general desire of
the people who frequent that locality to have
the fountain set again as soon as possible. If
we knew where to place it, it would not re-
main down single day, but after good
deal of inquiry, we find ourselves unable to
get suitable location. Any one having sug-
gestions to make upon that point will doubt
less promote public good by commune
eating them to Mr.. E. w. Chase, relief sec
rotary, at his rooms on Robert street, or to
me, at the custom house, If We cannot re-
erect in that neighborhood, it will be put in
some other part of the city.

THE REASON OF THE DISCUSSION.
There is an evident disposition on the
part of the Senate to adjourn at as early a
day as possible. On Tuesday, after passing
the legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bills, there was little opposition to
an adjournment till to-day, tho evident pur-
pose being to afford time for the engross-
ment and transmission to Mr.. Hayes of the
bill, that he might prepare his veto with
the least possible delay. That Mr.. Hayes
will veto the bill there is no question. His
action relative to the army and military
interference bills has fortunately left little
room for doubt. The veto will probably be
received by tho House, which originated the
bill, tomorrow or Saturday, when the future
course of action of the Democratic majority
will be determined upon.
The question has often been asked, dur
ing the progress of the debates on the
measures in controversy, why discussion was
maintained by the Democrats when they
we're convinced that heir purpose would be
defeated by veto from Mr.. Hayes. They
have had very good reason, as after results
will demonstrate. It has been to place the
two parties on record before the people on
questions that will figure conspicuously, if
they do not form the main issues, in the next
Presidential campaign. The Democratic
party was anxious to place its position before
the public, and was at the same time deter
mined to make the Republican party show
its purposes. For this reason the political
amendments were proposed to tue appro
nria,ion bills at the last session, and insisted
upon at the present one. The result has

gross earnings of the road for 1873 to be

year OF 1901, 1858. The net earnings of the
road for 1873 were $685., 1856. The follow
