An entertaining and instructive little book
is the Annual Report of the Hon. Arson G.
McCook, Secretary of the United States Sen
ate, containing a record of the receipts and
expenditures of that body. 1t is evident our
honorable senators are gentlemen of varied
tastes, and not indisposed to crafty them,
at least when it can be done at the public
expense. Such entries as these are to be
found on its pages; 500 antique envelopes !;
800 r. |. l.. envelopes, baronial; Al dozen
magic pencils, assorted; half dozen silver
alligator magic pencils; three paper weights
pigs; three paper weights geese; one pa
per weight elephant; one paper weight
(swineherd); "A corkscrews; one eighteen
gallon water cooler and one-quarter of doz-
en- of sugar spoons; 233 pounds of granulat-
ed sugar; four dozen ginger ale; one box OF
lemons; one punch bowl for lemonade; two
gallons castor oil; two ounces spirits ammo
mia; two gallons of cologne water; and six
barrels of soft soap. The absence of any
charge for ''cold tea" is noticeable. Still it
would be unsafe to conclude that ''cold tea"
has become extinct in the Senate, especially
in face Of the large expenditure for apolli-
naris water

Assistant Secretary Fairchild has decided
to extend to the whale fisheries and oyster
fisheries his inquiries recently addressed to
customs officials, calling for statistics con-
corning the fishing interests of this country
The purpose of the inquiry is to answer
questions arising in the negotiation Of a new
fishing treaty with Great Britain, and an eff
fort is to be made to secure accurate inform
alton regarding American fisheries, SO far at
least as it can be obtained from the officers
of the vessels licensed for the nshing trade.
The information gathered will be furnished
to Fish Commissioner Baird, and will show
the number of vessels engaged in the fisher
les, with their names, tonnage, value, hailing
port and fishing port, number of persons
employed kind of apparatus used, time con-
sumed in trips during given periods, pounds
of fish sold, fresh, dry sailed or brine sailed
total value of fish taken and net profit from
the enterprise. The information will be
gathered by Collectors of Customs and for
warded to Washington as rapidly as posi-
ble

The administration is reported to be much
depressed by Senator Beck's speech on its
financial policy and by the fact that there is
no Democrat in the Senate able and willing
to effectively reply to it. The President i'm
poverished his party in the Senate in making
up his Cabinet. He took Lamar, Bayard and
Garland, the three ablest Democratic Sen
ators, and it unfortunately happens in this
crisis that the ablest of the men he left are
opponents of his policy with regard to the
silver coinage, If he is defended at all, his
defence must come from the Republicans.
Mcpherson is the only Democratic Senator
that supports the administration financial
policy who stands any show whatever
against Beck and he is by no means Beck's
equal

The Senate committee has decided to re-
port favorably on the nomination of Dorman
B. Eaton to be civil service commissioner.
There is likely to be considerable opposi-
ton to his confirmation nevertheless. His
action in the Sterling case is going to prove
troublesome to him, and it ought to. 1t was

1t is stated ON what is represented as good
authority that Secretary Lamar will author
ize.a suit to be brought in the name of the
United States to test the validity of the
Bell telephone patents. Among other things
the decision will set forth that the specified
ion of Bells patent contains nothing about
the capability of Bells instrument to trans
nit articulate speech, but only claims for it
the power to produce vocal sounds" that
instrument may transmit "vocal sounds
without being speaking telephone; and
that, in point of fact, Bell did not invent a
speaking telephone until after the issue of
his patent, as appears from the irecord. For
these reasons, it will be urged, the validity
of the Bell patent is fairly Fashionable. The
public will not shed many tears if the suit
is decided against the Bell company.

instance

If it turns out that the Portland postoffce
is within the civil service law there will be
another outburst of grief and dispair such as
followed the discovery by the old JaclIsonian
Democrats that persons over forty-five years
of age could not be appointed to places in
the custom house.

law will tear up the Mormon church by
the roots The President is authorized to
appoint fourteen trustees of the corporation
known as the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, who are to hold Office for
two years, and shall annually or oftener

Female suffrage is abolished; a husband or
wife made a competent witness in any pros
ecution for unlawful cohabitation, under GER
tain conditions property is to be confscated,
and Imprisonment is provided for gentle
adulterers. A bill almost identical with this
one was passed some years ago by the Sen
ate, but failed in the House. 1t is likely to
fail there again.

The Wayne postmaster, who lost his post
