LOGAN AND THE COMMITTEES.
Efforts to be Made to Put Him Back in
His Old Place.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Gone of the very
troublesome matters which the Republi-
can Senators have on hand is the placing
OF senator Logan ON the committees. His
places on the Committee on Military At.
talrs, Appropriations and the Judiciary
were all taken by other Senators at the
spring session and now they are loath to
give them back TO him. Senator Sewell,
Oh new Jersey, is particularly anxious to
remain at the head OF the military COM
mlttee In order that he may put through
tne Fltz John Porter bill, which is eX-
pected to he passed early during the pre-
sent session. The same bill Is to
be passed that President Arthur vetoed.
Oen. Logan can OF course fight il more
eHectlvely IN his old place at the head of
the Military Committee. Senator Don
cameron mas enlisted in Gen. Logan's be-
nall, and ls trying to arrange matters so
that Gen. Logan can have what he wants,
out the task is a difficult one, and there
are liable to be many heart-burnings be-
fore the new list of the committees is fully
made up. Senator Sherman's old place
at the head Of the Committee on Finance
Will probably be retained by Mr.. Morrill,,
OF Vermont.

Along the shore skirting Lincoln park the
temporary breakwater was totally de-

A Failing of of SEA, ,S29,I63 as Com
pared with the Preceding Year.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The annual re-
port OF c. n. Jordan, Treasurer of the
United States, shows that the net revenue
Ofthe government during the last fiscal
year was 1928, 800, 706, or $24,s 1853 less
than that OF the preceding wear, while the
expenditure was $3.50 226, 1886, or Sic, 100, $50
greater than that of the preceding year.
The surplus available for the reduction of
the public debt at the close of the fiscal
year was therefore $40, ,929, 1854 less than
was available on July /, 1884. 1t is aD-
parent, says Mr.. Jordan, that the eXecu-
ton of the coinage law is gradually
converting the funds Of the
treasury into the standard dollar.
Every eXertiOn has been made to give
extended circulation to these coins, but
without the success which the large ex-
penditure incurred would warrant. Such
measure of success as has been obtained
has been at very great expense to the gov
ernment, the excessive cost furnishing a
strong argument against continuing the
issue.
The Treasurer recommends that the en-
tire revenue derived from the Post Office
Department go through the Treasury and
be spent under it's supervision as all other
moneys are which are derived from reve-
nue. of any kind.
THE PRINTING DEPARTMENT.
The annual report of Mr.. Graves, Chief
of the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing,
shows shat the saving effected thus far
during the fiscal year is at the rate of
S223 237 per annum.

Ga. Fifteen yeare later the advertisement
money was estimated at 1900 day, aud the
circulation had gone above 100, 900 copies.
To-day it is hardly possible to say what
amount the advertisement columns daily
bring in, but it has been stated that in one
day the gross income from that source has
exceeded 81, 800, while the sale of the paper
rarely falls below $500 and frequently
tops quarter of million. In slack sea-
son more than 1000 advertisements are dali
" received, but during Parliamentary ses-
sion, once, and sometimes twice week, the
journal is enlarged to twelve pages aud the
total number of advertisements published
raised to nearly 5000. IN order to deal
with this mass of matter and stupendous cir
culation, extensive composing rooms and
machine rooms are required. The mac hine
room contains ten Hoe breeses, which gener-
ally run two hours each, turning out II, 600
copies each an hour. Besides these are some
smaller presses and a row of paper hampers.
As much Of the paper as possible is made at
the Daily Telegraph mills at hartford, in
Kent and the profits on this item alone
reaches 100000 per annum. Out OF their
princely returns il is not to be wondered that
the Lawsons can now and again make dash
into some expensive expedition, but they
have always an eye to the main chance.

James Rfrer Ra broad.

Jamestown is happy over the assurance
that the James River railroad Will be built
the coming season, and the Capital has in
formation deemed reliable that strong COM
pany will build from the branch of the Chi
cage, Milwaukee d st. Paul at Wilmot,
through the Sisseton reservation to jane
town. 1t says: ''This company is backed up
by heavy Holland capitalists, who hold coz
trolling share in other northwestern railroads.
1t is their intention to push this road on to
Jamestown at the earliest possible date. The
gentleman who gave us the information is
himself one of the railroad company, and is
also the agent for the Holland capitalists re-
ferred to. He said the company realized the
vast advantages which jamestown offered,
and would come just as soon as possible.'
The jamestown Alert is not too enthusias-
tic in these anticipations. The sale of the
James River Valley railroad bed and fran
chise to a company of practical railroad
builders, which is authenticated by the
buyers in an interview with the st. Paul
GLOBE, will be source of great delight to
the people of the James river valley, and es-
pecially to the farmers, merchants and other
shippers as it will open competitive line
for carrying out and bringing in freight.
This will do more towards relieving the OPP
pressions and extortions com planned of by
the farmers than volume of legislation on
the subject. jamestown will be the northern
terminus, and as the road will connect the
four trunk lines coming northwest from
Chicago, it will be very important one.

Imaginary Spook.

The apparent disposition to draw Sec
tional line at Bismarck Is causing uneasiness
in some quarters. The correspondent Of the
jamestown Capital writes: AS to whether
there will be anything done about the re-
moval of the capital this session ''depends."
Alex Mckenzie, realizing the extreme deli
cacy of the situation, wisely wlthholds him
self from any visible connection with affairs.
The Tribune now yells Justify for division,
and will continue to do rs long as the SEES
sion lasts. Bismarck will throw all the oil
possible on the troubled waters, and there Is
good reason to hope that no serious storms
may arise. But if there is any disturbance,
look out for breakers. Your correspondent
is informed that the legislature will not ac-
cept the capitol from the commission, and
that If the furniture in the capitol was Or
dered by the com mission the legislature will
not pay for it. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that the people of Bismarck, who have ex-
pended so much time and money in the
erection of the magnificent capitol, will not
be obliged to do any more. They have done
nobly whatever may be the fault of their
leaders, and we trust they may be relieved Of
further burden.

County Seat ENDEMIC.

1t is said crimes and accidents run in
cycles, ard that special phase in one local
ity will be followed by the same in others. 1t
is evident that some such law causes the cpl
demic of county seat outbreaks just at pres
ent, when the territory should be on its best
behavior before the country. Most Of them
are mainly bluster and whisky, but In Potter
there was real grievance. 1t must be con-
eeded that the county board went little too
far in throwing out thirteen out Of nineteen
precincts In order to prevent the removal Of
the county seat. Gettysburg and Appomattox,
as the names indicate, are mainly settled by
colonies OF old soldiers from Illinois, and
they do not readily submit to being run over
but they are able TO manage the case with
out militia or Indians. But none OF these
wrongs can be righted by the shot gun. The
courts and the ballot box must determine
them, although the latter is very uncertain
factor and run on the Chicago plan too
much.
