THERE is ONE Department of the Gov
ernment in which the employees are sub
jected to too unjust discrimination in the
manner of work and holidays to be passed
by without comment. We refer to the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
While in all other Departments the
employees are allowed n leave of alb
sence of thirty days each year and are ex-
cuscd, without any loss of salary when
sick, the employees of this bureau receive
no actual holidays whatever during the
year, as they are "docked" for National
holidays, and when prevented ly sickness
from attending to their duties re-
sceive no compensation for the
time thus unavoidably lost 1t is but Just
and reasonable that all officials and en-
ployees Of the Government should be ac-
corded months vacation out of the twelve
mouths, but there should be no discrimina-
tion. Those employed in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing are about the
hardest worked body in any of the Depart
ments at the National Capital, and even at
this season, when in the other Bureaus the
houio vi ldDor arc from " 10 y, with half
hours intermission at noon they are re-
quired to show up at s a. M, and work
steadily until p. IN. They are the poorest
paid workers, and, in addition, are deprived
of every other consideration accorded other
Bureaus and Departments.
Until recently the printers and binders
in the Government Printing Office were
"docked " of their wages upon National
holidays, but by petitioning Congress they
succeeded in being placed on an equal foot
ing with the other Departments. The Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing is the only
specimen of unjust discrimination now in
existence under the Government. We
have before us numerous evidences of spe-
cific injustice to the employees of this Bu-
reau, but the bare facts Of the condition of
things that are self-evident and speak for
themselves are sufficient without detailed
accounts TO suggest to every impartial Of
fcer of the Administration the propriety
of a radical change for justice and fair deal
dealing. Give the employees of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing a show.

THERE Is no man in the country so dis.
gustcd with its institutions rs Dom Piatt.
Writing of hackinen, he says: ~ learned
at an early age to treat hackmen with the
greatest tenderness and respect. For, If
you speak to n haclman he will insult you:
fyou employ him he will cheat you II you
complain he will whip you. A hackman, q
carpet Dagger, and ward politician make
the net purport and upshot of II republican
form of government. To give us these our
foreflthers fought, bled, and died in the
Revolution" Perhaps Dom would feel
better il he could be translated to II mon
archical government, where hackmen are
subjected to legal restrictions. and where
the ward politician is n man who sits in Il
dark cellar and manufactures dynamite
bombs.-S. Louis Post Dispatch.
This is treading on such dangerous ground
that we wash our hands of the consequences
when Col. Piatt is rashly committed to the
extreme results of his policy. The editor of
the Post-Dispatch had better select his
weapons.

MAYOR HARRISON" says the Chicago
NccS, " in order to show that he was true
Bavarian and a friend of the poor working
man, drank glass of beer in the presence
of several thousand people at the Ogden
Grove picnic Sunday. This was a glorious
example Mayor Harrison ought to have
remembered that it is beer as much as any
thing else that is keeping many working.
man poor, and making the wives and chill
dren of workingmen miserable. 1t is beer
also that has made Sunday in Chicago day
of blood"
The injury caused by beer in this country
is, perhaps, about as infinitesimal as the
damage done by earthquakes. The real
place where the surprise comes in is in the
fact that our dear friend Carter, patron
saint of the Marine band, could have made
the personal sacrifice to drink beer when
champagne is his natural element.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsulNGroN, d. c., Jun,

WAsnlNGToS, d. c., June 90, 1881.
In the present condition OF things
any Republican may wake any morning
and find himself infamous. What Dem.
ocrats have been saying to an unbeliev.
ing generation about Republican lead.
ers for years, Republicans themselves
are now testifying to. 1t is one of the
mysteries of the world that for many
years intelligent Republican voters have
gone on electiug to office men whose
records were notoriously bad, and have
refused TO listen to the truth when it
was told them. 4 year ago if Sessions
had been the Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, and Seymour
the Democratic candidate the chances
are that Sessions, the most corrupt of
politicians, would have been elected
The one certain good result of Conk.
ling's investigating committee at Al.
bany will be the making of general
corruption among Republican leaders
so certain that honest men will never
support them again. The attempt to
connect President Garfield with an Of
fer TO a man that If he would vote
against Conkling he should receive an
important appointment will probably
not succeed. The offer was made, it il
alleged, through John |. Davenport.
This unmitigated scamp who has done
more TO prevent a fair vote and full
count than all the rife clubs aud bull.
dozers that ever haunted Radical i'm
imagination, no doubt made the offer.
He would offer anything. But that he
was distinctly authorized to do so by
the President, don't believe. lie was
here however and saw the President
after the trouble between the New York
Senators and the President commenced,
and, in view of the depth of iniquity
recently revealed among Republicans,
there is possibility that the President
authorized the offer.
A delegation of straight Republicans
from Virginia, saw the President yester.
day and were made happy. They were
assured that the administration sym.
pathy was with them and against any
union with the Readjusters. The first
authentic announcement Of the Presi.
dents intentions in this matter, was
made through the Petersburg. Virginia
APpeai, week ago, and the statements
then made were almost identical in
language and ideas with what he said
yesterday to the Virginia Republicans.
In previous letters | have devoted con.
siderable space to this subject, for it is
one on which there has been almost az
much interest as in the New York con.
test. The decision OF the President is
accepted generally as putting an end
forever to the proposed alliance in the
Southern States between Republicans
and disaHected Democrats. DoS.
