Where to Get ti,c News.

Thore Is an impression more or less
general In Washington and many other
oitios that, In ordor to get the news, one
must buy New York paper.
TnE REPUBLICAN has no objection at
all TO tho sale of New Yorl, papers to any
extent but does worry decidedly object
to the disparagomont of homo enterprise
to which the Washington patrons Of the
great metropolitan dailies are addicted.
1t isnot a factthat anybody in this city
is compelled to buy New York paper to
set the news. 1t is fact that, as gem
cral rule, the late news is not to be found
in the early editions Of tho New York
papers which arc sent to this city.
In order to catch the carly trains which
go out Of tho metropolis in all directions,
editions of New York papers have to bo
made up and printed before the news Is
received. They are little more than
evening papers of the preceding day.
On the othor hand, TIE REPUBLrcAN
is sonnblod to hold Its forms open until all
the nows is in and carefully edited.
As an illustration, take tho Now York
Tribune and THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
of yesterday. The former is one of tho
hest of American newspapers, sparing no
expense to meet the demands of its
patrons. But 1t cannot anticipate tho
events of tho day or night; cannot print
kilograms that have not been recoived;
cannot give publicity 10 occurrences that
arc yet some hours in the future when it
goes to press.
Tho feature OF all American news
papers yesterday was tho speech OF
Mr.. Gladstone, the effect which it
produced, and the comments thereon
of the London papers of yesterday morn
ing. All this WAS in The REPUBLICAN.
Not word of this was in the Tribme-we
mean the edition OF that paper which
came to Washington. This illustration
shows the rule, not an exceptional in
stance.
The REPUBLICAN has arranged to give
the very latest news of the great events
which are impending in Europe. We
shall hold our forms open for extracts
from the leading papers of Europe of the
same date, the difference in time making
this entirely feasible. We cannot print
very long treatises or extended discus
sious on any subject, but We can, we do
and We will give the news-and that /:
just what cannot be done by New York
papers that go to press in time to catch
tho Washington trains.

Tho Stntun Of liberty.

In less than month the colossal statue
of Liberty Enlightoning the World"
which tho French people have presented
to the American people, will arrive in
New York harbor. so far the pedestal
upon which IL is to stand is unfinished
and the means to finish IL lacking, though
of late substantial progress has been made
in raising funds to push 1t to completion.
Tho New York World fund amounted
yesterday to S35,T57.79, subscribed by
3D,1l3 contributors, showing how easy IL
ia to raise tho sum needed if the people
would only send in small contributions.
Tho World fund is swelling day by day,
aud will soon DO materially augmented
by sums raised by newspapers in other
cities to help tho WorH out in its praise
worthy purpose. hr. John r. Reavis, of
the World, is dovoting his entIro time to
this enterprise, having been assigned
thereto by tho proprietor Of that news
paper, and the success attained is largely
due to his splendid management. The st.
Louis Post Dispatch is doing good work in
this direction, having already secured
over $1,000.
The Pedestal committee, of which Sem
ator Eyarts is the head, have, in order to
hasten the subscription of tho amount
needed, prepared miniature statuette,
an exact counterpart Of the original, six
inches in height, tho figure being made
of bronze, tue pedestal Of nickel silver,
which they are now delivering to sub.
scribers throughout tho United States for
hesmall sum Of ST. each. The money raised
by this device is, Of course, independent OF
and in addition to the World fund. Any
Of our readers who would like to assist in
the work OF erecting the pedestal and ut
the same time secure one Of the little
statuettes as souvenir can do SO by re-
mittng dollar to Richard II. Butler
secretary American Com mittee of the
Statue of Liberty, 33 Mercer street, Now
York.
The gift Of the statue was not to the
city of New York but to the whole Amer
lean people, aud all should feel generous
interest in contributing to tho erection oi
the grand pedestal upon which it is tC
stand, The capital city of this great
nation should take part in the work, ant
we are convinced that our people will dc
so ifa convenient opportunity is Afforded
In this belief The NATIoEAL REPUBLr
CAN steps forward and offers to TAKE
charge Of all subscriptions that may b.
made, no matter whether tho sums bC
large or small In New York merchants
shopkeeporS, lAborers, clerks, and ever
school children are contributors to thu
World fund. Let all classes here tnNe th'
e interest, and a goodly sum vii
ily bo rolled up. The names Of al
tutors will be printed in ou
MS, aud the sums paid in sent eithe
World fund or directly to the pedos
,lttee as may be preferred. Con

WHILE THE REPUBLICAN docs not in
dorso the removal from office Of compo-
tent and worthy officials, or believe IL to
be reform to romove Republicans to make
room for Democrats, still tho following
paragraph from the Now Orleans Daily
states fully expresses our views in regard
to the appointments Of Capt, u. W. Gould
as supervising inspector general Of steam
vessels. The writer OF this paragraph has
known the captain personally rs builder
and master Of some Of the largest and
| finest steamers evor navigatod on the
waters Of tho west and south in the last
/ thirty years; and his record shows that
| no accident has ever occurred on one OF
| his steamers involving tho loss of single
| life; and his administrative ability il
recognized by all who know him. The
| states says
| Capt T.. w. Could who ia being strongly
advocated for tho position Of supervising In
| spector general OF steam vessels, iia gentleman
| " unlouhted talents, and carries with him
the confidence Of those who are directly in
tcrcstcd in having the office run on an honest
business basis, and no man can galnsay 1t bu
what he will put u stop to all bargains and
sales Of patcntoes having their clap.trap
forced on the steamboat community at large
If Capt, Gould H. as he should be, appointed
for II should not be u sectional feeling, he will
conduct the Office in manner TO bring II ou
of the infamy 1t has been In for years.

SHERIDAN AND END1CorT.
A Conflict OF Authority Between the
Secretary aud General.

For number Of days rumors have boen
rife in tho War Department that an army
order was forthcoming, which when
issued would create considerable surprise.
While no authentic information Is obtain
able from officials, II is understood that
the order is to be issued by tho President,
and is to define the limit Of the authority
Of the lieutenant general of the army.
IL was mn open secret for months prior to
Secretary Lincoln's retirement that Il
controversy existed between him and
Lieut.. Gsn. Sheridan relative 10 the
authority Of the Inter. Tho Secretary Of
War finally wrote letter to the licuten.
ant general in which he defined the
lattcr's authority. 1t is asserted that
Con. Sheridan has come In conflict
with tho new secretary of war In regard
to the same questions rs TO their ro-
spective rights of command. On
the 9th instant general order was
Issued for certain regiments TO exchange
stations by June 1. This order was, "Dy
command Of Lieut.. Zion, Sheridan IL
did not contain tho name OF the Secretary
Of War, nor the words, with tho ap-
proval of the Secretary of War" Similar
orders as shown by tho records when is
sued by Gen. Sherman, contained the
namO OF Secretary Lincoln. In the geu'
eral order above roiorred to tho I'd regi-
mont Uf artillery, stationed in Washing
ton, was ordered to exchange with the Sd
regiment ot artillery, stationed in the gull
states Certain surgeons Of the army have
expressed themselves as bitterly opposed
to this change vt this season of the year.
They say itwould endanger the health Of
the unacclmated regiment, and that the
transfer would be especially dangerous
because Of threatened sickly season in
the south. They say further that the regi'
ment now stationed in the south is acoli'
mated, and can remain there without
danger. Other officials say that this 10 the
first order Of the kind issued in the spring
Of year. Secretary Eudicott is now in
Boston. The expected order, and which
promises n surprise, will probably not be
given out until bis return to the depart
ment next Thursday.
