Gifts 10 Superiors,

NOT many are aware that it is illegal for
an inferior in public service to give or pre-
sent to their superiors in official position
any article ofvalue or money, and yet such
is the case. The law was passed in 1870.
Section 1854 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States contains the prohibition re-
ferred to above, and reads as follows;
Section 1854 No officer, clerk or empl0ye In
tho United States Government employ shall Mt
any time solicit contributions from other off,
GERS clerks or employees in tho Government
service for gift or present to those In q su-
perior official position; nor shall any
such officials or clerical suporiors receive any
giftior present offered or presented to them
as a contribution from persons in Government
employ receiving less salary than them
selves; nor shall any oncer or clerk mako any
donation as gift or present to any onlclal su-
perior. Every person who violates this sec-
tion shall be summnrlly discharged from the
Government employ.
A knowledge Of the above may save both
superiOrs and interiors from the penalty
fixed by the above section for such oifenses.

yesterday, signed by Messrs. j. G. Ames,
Superintendent of Public Documents for
tho Interior Department, A. r. Spoflord,
Librarian of Congress, and Spencer f.
Baird. of the Smithsonian, is timely, and
should receive the attention of Congress. A
committee should be appointed to rcvise
the printing laws, and the committee
should not be composed of members of Con-
gress. Major Ben: Perley Poore should be
chairman Of the committee and Captain II.
T. Brian, the efficient foreman of printing,
should be member, and the rest of tho
committee should be made up of others who
know the evils of the present system.
There is ample room for practical reform
and retrenchmcnt without hurt to the pub
lie business, and Congress should not be
slow to take action in the matter.
