The government printing office at
Washington is the largest establishment
of the kind in the world, and is growing
at a rate which is little less than alarming.
The public printer in his report has ven
tured to suggest one measure which would
materially relieve his embarrassments in
the effort to keep up with his work. That
is, to cease publishing in the proceedings
ofcongress all speeches which were never
delivered. In some respects this would be
desirable course to pursue 1t would
make the record more faithful showing
of what actually took place II would
be vastly more concise and convenient for
reference. But if the privilege of having
these speeches printed were denied to the.
members they would probably find means,
in one way Or another, TO actually deliver
them. To save congress time, therefore,
and the unnecessary infliction incident to
such course, the country can very we'll
afford TO pay for the printing Slowed
away in the Record the speeches really do
very little harm.

The last of the terrible Modoes of Lava
Beds fame, writer in the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says, dwell on tract of
4,o0O acres near the village of Seneca on
the dividing line between the Indian Ter.
ritory and Missouri. There are twenty
six families, numbering 1O6 persons. They
are losing their warlike character. and are
becoming aguculturists. and in doing this
they are assisted by the general govern
ment, which supplies rations and an
instructor in agriculture. Most of them
speak English. A Modoc woman who is
the tribe'ssbest interpreter, cultivated five
acres of corn without any assistance
whatever, and got yield of 300 bushels
this year. The reservation has been sur
veyed into forty acre lots, and the cabins
are being removed from the cluster in
which they stood, and ere long every
family will live on its own forty acre
patch.

HYMN TO THE DA WIN.
BY A. T. REQUIER.

From an 0nlinOus rift in the pitiless sky.
That has3 darkencd our desolate land,
Springs a luminous rill of auriferous dye.
Gushing out OF u mystical hand
Upon valleys Of carnage and mountains of
On the heaps Of the holly slain
1t descends with "a rus!, Of a resonent Tyre,
And the CLEAN Ola magical rain.
1t unveils from the depths of its fountains OF
blue
Such a blaze of bewildcring light,
IA the lcgions of Arahy never yet drew
From the stars of traditional night;
Purple acres Of grapes, and savannas Of snow,
Full OF streams that enrichingly run
Through the fairest of blooms which the trop
les bestow
On tho towering brides of the sun.
Noble structures of commerce., and riches Of
Stately temples. and towers between
Fretted domes soaring up from the dust of
the mart,
Where the wonders of science are seen
Fluted pillars and Urls, to the primitive past
And its young representative scions,
And bronzes heroic, colossally vast
As the winged Assyrian lions.
Oh i see the long stretch of thy sorrowing
years,
Cline of azure A! transformed in my sight,
From the confortless drops OF thine anguish
ing tears
Into dews If eternal delight:
Royal anthems resembling in odorous seas.
Sceptered barges that bridally toss,
With their bright waving pehnons unfurlrd
to the breeze
In the blush Of a tremulous Cross!
Green idol of childhood !! engirdled by strife
With a glory the srandest OF Old,
Could they dream of the tolls which encom.
pass thy liIe,
Would cry ont from their CRITICAL mould.
God anOinted in War and exalted in Peace,
l behold thee abroad and at home,
With the beautiful lips Of Republican Greece,
And the brow Of Imperial Rome +!

LIVERPOOL, March 31.-Dennis Dorsey, q
man who when arrested here on Thursday
on his arrival from Corta, carried box con-
tanning internal machines and explosives,
and Patrick Flanagan, the Irish railway
porter who was arrested at st. Helens on
suspicion of being an accomplice of Dor
sey, were arraigned in court this morning,
when charge that they had the explosives
in their possession with felonious intent
was preferred against them.
LIVERPOOL, March 31.-At the examina-
ton to-day of the men who were arrested
for carrying dynamite, it was put in as ey-
idence, that the letter found upon Dennis
Dorsey, commencing him to the other con-
spirator, Patrick Flanagan, as person
who might be entrusted with any post OF
duty. At Flanagan's lodgings, variety of

most interesting evidence given during the
examination, was that Of expert, scientific
witnesses, who testified that the ex1
plosive material in question was known
as ''igaine" dynamite, an article
that could not by any possibility be con
nected with commercial or business trans
actions, and which was not made for any
legitimate purpose. Flanagan interrupted
the proceedings with a pointed question
''Ib is material similar to what you shoot
in the house of commons, is it not?' The
prisoners were remanded for week.

that the lard in question is unfit to be used
as an article of food, and that large sales
have been made simply by Offering it at a
price far below that of pure article. One
OF the largest exporters in this country ia
reported as saying, 1.-THE action of the
government, at Havana, was brought about
simply through the jealousy of New York
lard dealers. For some time a rivalry
existed between the New York and Chicago
producers, as to the control of the Cuban
lard trade,which amounts to about "a. 0OO.-
600 annually. Chicago houses, in order
to Introduce their lard in Cuba,made small
shipments which gradually increased.
some of the lard being shipped there at an
actual loss in order TO establish trade in
that country. The New York merchants
realized the fact that Chicago was grad
ually securing q fast hold on the Cuban
market. At the present day half the lard
sent toECuba from this country comes from
chicago" AS TO the quality of the lard
tnls gentleman ssid it was ridiculous to
suppose that 1t was not of qualify equal
30 any lard made in New York or else
where. "If this was not the case YOU oould
sweep our trade. The names of the man
ufactursrs are plainly branded on
the tiercss and it would bs
nonsense to attempts to shin
worthless class of goods. 1 am satisfied
that when the Academy of Sciences has
reported upon the quality of the lard it
will be pronounced equal to any in the
world" Mr.. Philip D. Armour was called
upon in regard to the matter. ''These
brands" said Mr.. Armour, ''are fictitious.
and it is almost impossible to tell where
they are manufactured or by what refners.
1t is doubtful, moreover, if any reputable
American firm has had anything to do
with the manufacture of the brands named
in the dispatches. Any reputable house
would be more than likely to affix its name
to its brands of product as an advertise
ment. 1t would be just as reasonable to
call it English lard as American. It is
only another outcome OF the perpetual cry
By foreigners against American provision
products"

81. PETERSBURG, March 31.-The project
Of police has unearthed a band of nihilists
at their rendezvous, an obscure residence in
this city. The police force in attempting
to capture them met with stubborn re-
sistance. During the fight three officers
were wounded and one of the nihilists
finding capture inevitable, suicided on the
spot. The eight remaining conspirators
we're arrested. 1t is supposed that only a
section Of the party has been secured.
Among the implements Of destruction
were four packages Of dynamite, or about
IA pounds.
Serious floods are reported from Char
kotf and vicinity, and several persons have
been drowned.
