A Presidential Cabinet Album.

The bureau of engraving and PRINT
ing is just completing its addition TO
the cabinet album for the present adj
ministration' 1t is a custom for the
bureau to prepare fine steel engravmgS
of each president and his cabinet
These engravings are the highest style
of art, and when bound in correspond
ing stvle make a handsome andnnlaHs
l,,o Tbn hook 4l,ne mad" contains
tIu Ht1pttuiffira 1pttuiffiraItS of each president and his
cabinet from Washington down, also
views of the White House, capitol, etc.
Only a sufficient number of copies are
made to present the president and
members of the cabinet with one each
and retain one copy at the bureau OF
printing and engraving, The volume
is very interesting one, and ofcourse
quite rare, for, although there have
been 81 presidents and2l2 cabinet OH
GERS since the beginning of presidents
and cabinets ml1S9, the number is
very small in nation of 10000, 600,
and the habit of printing these books
only dates back half that time.

pied it for short time lately. Gem
eral Butler erected the well-knoWh
granite mansion on Capital fill, which
could cost no less than SlOO,Ooo,

itics apparently "for good" Even the
leasing of it seemed likely to prove at
most equally fatal TO the prosperity OF

The investigation being conducted by
Mr.. Springer's committee into the af-
fairs Of the Department of Justice is
developing a very interesting state of
facts concerning various United States
marshalS. 1t appears that nearly every
marshal has taken care to get good deal
of Government money in the way of
fees, and that numbers of them are
short in their accounts. EX-Marshal
Hall, of PittSburg, it is said, made
Si50,000 uulawfully, and about dozen
others owe the Government from SO,
600 upward. This is Il nice state of
facts which were not suspected outside
of the Attorney Generals Office, and
the curious part of it is in the indilfer-
ence shown there and the utter lack Of
accountability or responsibility exact .
ed by that department. 1t is said there
will be some loud music when the in
veStigation gets down 10 the Star-route
trial and kindred matters. PHONO.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan.24, 1884.
Somebody has called attention to the
curious tact that it is unluckJ for as
piring statesmen to build big houses in
Washington, and the recent defeat of
MI. PendletOn seems to be a fresh il
lustration of this peculiar truth. In
Early every case, even as far back as
Douglass and Breckinbridge, the pub
lie men who haYe attempted fine per-
manent residence here haye found it
the erection of a mausolenm for their
political hopes instead of a palace.
Neither Sprague nor his father-in-law
long enjoyed the stately mansion with
it's large grounds, at the corner of Sixth
and E streets, which is now boarding
house. Attorney General Williams
was one of the first to build a fine resi-
dence in the new part of the West End.
The red lining of a carriage killed him
not long after. Senator Steward built
what is still called "The Castle" fur
ther out. 1t nearly burned down
twice, and his family haye only occu-

Congress and the MOrmOns.

The discussion of the Mormon queS-
ton has already begun in the 3enoto "t
Washington, the basis of the discussion
being the bill introduced by Senator
Cullom, of Illinois. The utter collapse
and failure of all the reforms proposed
under the Edmunds act invites prompt
Congressional action. Mr.. Cullom' 5
bill provides for the abolition of the
present Territorial government of Utah
and the substitution in its place of
Governor and Council Of Nine, to be
appointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate.
That some effective method of deal
ing with the Mormon question is need
ed no one Will deny. The evil of poly
gamy is growing rapidly year by year
and nnless firmly and promptly sup
pressed will soon have become eStab-
lished as custom sanctioned by the
laws and practices OF sovereign State
Converts to Mormonism are being re-
cru!ted by the thousand among the
more ignorant classes in the various
European States. The little cloud, no
bigger than a mans hand at first, is
spreading not only over one Territory,
but over half dozen. 1t should be al
lowed to spread no further.
There is very little force in the argu-
ment that laws for the SUPPRESSION of
polygamy interfere with the exercise Of
religion. Polygamy is a crime against
an existing law, not religion. That
law is defed by the Mormons. The
government has but one thing to do,
and that is to execute the law. Under
the present Territorial Government
this cannot be done, because the ma
chinery for executing the law is in the
Violators of tie law. III there is any
possible method of taking the legal ma
chinery out of the hands of those who
defy the law and placing it in the hands
of those who will execute it, it should
be done.
The argument madeby Senator Brown
against the Culom measure, on the
ground of unconstitutlonality, does not
seem to be tenaOle. The Constitution
of the United States expressly declares
that Congress shall have power to dis
pose of and make all needful rules and
regulations respecting the territory or
other property Of the United States.
If one form of Territorial government
is found to be inefficient, there seems to
be no treason. why another form may
not be adopted. Under section 9 ar
ticle Of the Constitution power is al
so.given Congress to pass laws proyid-
ing for the trial of these poIygamlsts
outside of the Territory in which the
crime is committed, if it sees fit. Until
the Territory has become a State the
power of Congress in the premises is
practically limitless, and Congress will
be sadly deficient in its duty if it allows
this Mormon ulcer to grow any larger
before making an effective application
of the knife.-IinleS

Governor Hoadly of Ohio, on as
suming the duties of his Office made
some important recommendations to
the Legislature and the people. He
suggested the creation of a board of
pardons, the establishment of grad
ed license system and the regulation
and equalization of the fee system for
county officers. In these suggestions
the new governor demonstrates that
he has decided views on questions of
local government and will not hesitate
to give them utterauce. He is dem
ocrat and will guard the rights of the
the people of his state zealously, ac-
cording to the creed of his party.
With the Inauguration of Governor
Hoadly public profigacy will cease in
Ohio, and that fact is not the least of
the happy Incidents which will distin-
guish his administration.

M. Roustan, the new French Min
lister to Washington, is about forty
eight years ofage. He has held many
consular posts, and in 1881 was ap-
pointed Ambassador to Tunis. He
was a CONSPICUOUS actor in the recent
events in that country, and the success
of French diplomacy in the dealings
with the Bey is, due almost entirely to
his 6rmness and sagacity.

Fair trade and revenue reform are
what the democrats contend for They
mean to be just to capital as well as to
labor We have needlessly increased
taxation and disastrously stimulated
industrial production by perpetuating
the war tariff. We should, therefore.
carefully revise and reduce it, but that
obligation does not imply that we

JOHN KELLY says in his New York
Star that "without the thirty.six votes
of New York state, the democratic ticket
will not be elected" The Star adds the
following, which is not very consoling to
democrats:
If anybody imagines that the demo-
cratic party is going to have a walk .over
in this state, he is sadly miscalculating
the discipline, u and temper of
the rival organization. Blaine's forces
come out of Ohio flushed with their hard
won triumph, confident and aggressive
Money is fl wing into their Golfers, and
the promised republican bolt melts away
like a bar of lead in a furnace. Every.
body islovking to Now York. Ii the dem
ocra,s here show a united, earnest front,
they will inspire their colleagues in other
states with hopefulness and enthusiasm.
If, on the other hand, New York, in city
or state, is rent by a revival of former
dissensions, then the effect will be to
danpen the ardor of and to discourage
the bulk of the party in the other doubt
full states.

The British Army in Ireland.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The British army returns just issued
show the military force maintained ii
Ireland during 1883, was 23,494 men.
exclusive of officers. OF these IL, 7
were infantry, 1884 artillery, and 1876
cavalry. This number shows q falling of
eff nearly 5000 on the previous year and
1000 on 1881, but it is higher than the
total on any other year since 1873. The
number of recruits raised in Ireland dur.
ing 1882 was 1919, which is higher than
the numbers for 1881 and 1882, but less
than the totals for each of the five years
preceding. The total number of Irish,
men at present in the army is, according
to the returns, 81, 700.
