10 tie EditOr 0f me kCNif0 Critic:
ftls currently reported that a furlough must
inevitably takc place At tho Government Print

owing TO tho exhaustion OF the 100000 so
recently appropriated by Congress; OF the
S3dOOOO now on hand, over S2O0,O1O viii be
expended In iquldatlng outstanding claims
against the office for the purchase OF stock,
sc. This viii loavc something in the neigh
borhood Of 100000 to pay wages for work
performed during the month Of April.
surely Congress Will provide the way and
means for the now superintendent TO carry on
the business. Not to do this will greatly en-.
barrass that official and iniilct great distress
and suffering upon the employees OF that de.
partment, who Will have to lose two months
employment should the furlough take place
on the list of May. ID. W.
lour correspondents note Is timely. In all
probability Mr.. Rounds will take possession
Of tho ofllce this week. He will fnd about
S2So,00o in the Treasury to his credit He
Will also IND liabilities to the amount Of over
100000, due for machinery, stock, etc, leav-
ing something short Of SSO,O00 with which
to run the ofIlce from the 1st day Of April TO
the 30th day of June. The monthly payroll
Of tho establishment has averaged since the
1st Of January nearly 100000. Therefore It
IL evident that unless something is done before
the 1st OF May the ofllce Will have to be closed
and 1900 to 1000 persons thrown out OF en-
ployment for two months and the Departments
Of the Government left without the necessary
printing with which TO transact the business
of the Government. 1t is true, no doubt, that
with the very liberal appropriations that have
been made this should not be the case But
that does not alter the fact.
Mr.. Defrcos is very old man and is now
confined TO what in all human probability
Will be his death-bed. Whatever our opinion
may be OF his administration, under the cir
cumstances 1t should be let pass without
comment Under the incoming admnistra-
ton we can hope for better things. Persons
Of intelligence and ability will be placed in
charge Of the various departments, and system
will be injected into the conduct of the office.
More work will be done at a less cost.
Mddlemen 'and jobbers will be sent to tho
rear. Mr.. Rounds has been in active
business for many years. He has managed n
great business Of his own successfully, and 1t
is safe TO presume that he will not fail now,
Congress should not visit the results Of the
mismanagement df nothing worse) of the
present incumbent upon him and his admin:
