Another Danger of the Elevated Railwn

New YORK, May 25.-Enrly this morning
flames wero discovered issuing from windows
on the third floor of the four.story building,
No. 29S Bowory, occupied by tho Dime mu-
scum. Damage 10 stock is estimated by the
owners at $4,000, upon which there is an in
surance of $4,000. The building is owned by
Georgianna English, and was damaged $500
The front windows OF tho floor whore the fire
started were covered with muslin transparen-
cies and were just above the structure of the
elevated railroad. There was no fire in the
building, not even gas. 1t is thought that
sparks from passing engine set fro to tho
transparencics, aud there being no sash in
the windows tho building was at the mercy
Of tho flames. Wax figures worth $1,000

EXPENSES or THE COURTS.
A protes. from the Di.tric. Commissions

A Protest from the District Commissioners.
The District commissioners have addressed
note to Hon. J. ID. O. Atkins, of the house
committee on appropriations, in which they
say that being Informed that your COM
mittee propose, In the sundry civil bill now
before the house, to charge the revenues of the
District with ono-half of the expense of main
tanning the federal courts IN this District re-
spectfully represent:
"First-Phat although tho general govern
ment has been located boro since tho year
1900, IL has never before been proposed TO inn
pose on tho taxpayers Of this District such a
burden.
"Second-They understand that tho reason
for this proposed change of policy is based on
the fact that by tho act of 11th of June, 1878,
providing q pernanent form of government
for the District of Columbia, congress is re.
quircd TO appropriate from tho federal treus-
ury fifty per cent. of tho revenue necessary for
tho support of tho District government. But
IL is TO be borne in mind that this contribu-
tion is made in recognition of the fact that the
United States is owner in fee simple of ono
half In value of tho real estate of tho District,
to say nothing Of tho many millions OF per-
sonal property Of the government, whose
safety depends In greater OF less degree on
the protection afforded by tho local authority.
"Third-A very largo majority Of the cases In
the courts of the District arise ont of the laws Of
the United States and under tho constitution
arc subjects exclusively of federal jurisdic-
tion, and this Jurisdiction embraces every
state and territory of the union, and is main
tninod and administered therein at tho ex-
pense exclusively of the United States. In the
territories, which beSr about thos relations
to tho general government as tho District Of
Columbia, the entire expense of tho govern
ment is provided for by congress. Has not
the District equal il not superior claims upon
| lis consideration
"Fourth-Thc only purely local or munici.
pal court in tho District-thc police courts
low supported by the District treasury.
| "Fifth-At the present time the District'i J.
subject to heavy expense on account OF tho
sewerage, the replacement OF rotten wood

Secrets of Printing Offices.

The London Printer and Stationer
says: Printers have never, we think,
received appreciation for the honorable
confidence which they have preserved
in regard to the secrets with which
they have necessarily been entrusted.
Such a case as this often happens.
An article ID a newspaper or mag
azine makes what is called a tsensa-
ton" 1t is entirely anonymous, and
public curiosity is excited to the ut
most to discover the name of its au-
thor. The writer may be the cabinet
minister, a high official, a courtier, or
any of the thousand and one persons
who, if he were suspected of writing
for the press, would at once lose his
position, his ofice-perhaps his reputa-
ton. On the other hand, the writer
may be a struggling author, a hard
working journalist, or mere literary
amateur; in any case his secrets is pre-
served; his anonymity is safe so long
as it is confined to the printers. Some
time ago there was a great stir~made
about book entitled 'sEcce Home. -
It was a clever work and had an unex-
ampled success. "Who is the author?''
was the question on eyerybody's lips.
Some scores of persons were named
and they repudiated their participation
in it. All sorts of conjectures were
hazarded, and no doubt large sums
would have been paid by several con-
ductors of journals for authentic in
formation as to the name of its author.
Yet that name was known to a master
printer, his overseer, and at least some
of the compositors, but it never was
revealed When the name was pub
lished, it was not through the instru-
meh0aHCy OF the printers. but entirely
independent of them. They had faith
fully kept their secrets.
There is another species of secrecy
that relating to the careful supervision
of confidential public documents,
books printed for secret societies, and
the authorship ofarticles or pamphlets,
as already referred to, which has been
most honorably maintained. When
treaties are prematurely published in
newspapers the copy is obtained from
some leaky or venal official, and not
from any of the printers who set up or
work off the original

The Democratic press continues to
prattIe about Gen. Garfeld's alleged
connection with the Credit Mobilier
affair, charging him with all
manner of deceit, lying and even Of
perjury. But Jerre Black, who was
Buchanan's Attorney General, and is
and has for the last twenty-five years
been a Democrat Of National reputa-
ton. holds quite different view of
that affair. In reply to the questions
of an interviewer recently, Judge
Black said:
Would you object to giving your
estimate of Gen. Garfield.
81 have no desire to add anything
to my published letter to Blaine.
What [ said then of him a0as true and
as true With regard to the Credit
MobiIier transaction, I hare said and
alcays aoiU sag, that Gen. Garfield
told me the truth about 1T. He aUou1d
not do anything else. [ watched the
development of the investigation, and
| saw nothing in that to alter my
opinion. [ tell you. Gen. Garfield S
hands acere clean an that transaction,
as he has al'oays kept them < x x
The Credit Mobilier affair has not hurt
him with his party, and a0W not and
ought not. l believe firmly an Gen.
Gayietd's personal integrity, and l
base my judgement upon an intimate
knowyedge of has private scaM conUer-
sation. He has large sympathy and
great humanity; would make any sac
rifce to serve his friends in any honor
able way, but in politics gives to his
party the key to his conscience. He
is man of the gentlest nature; would
not harm a hair Of your head. J"
'Do you look upon Gen. Garfield
as being as strong man as his party
could have nominated, Judge?''
4 alphabetically he is ats strongest man
and morally he is The equal of eny
man an the party"
This, remember, is the testimony OF
one whose Democracy cannot be ques-
toned; one who is warm supporter
of Gen. Hancock. What, then, be-
comes of the stale charges that have
been iterated and reiterated by the
Democratic press?
