Sacramento is intensely dlsap
pointed at the discovery that the
construction of its proposed federal
building, so far from being COM
pleted this year or next, cannot be
commenced before 1888, and posi-
bly, not then. For this greyious
disappointment California's Con-
gressional delegation is held exclu-
.siyely responsible by the disguised
Sacramentans. The Act author
izing the construction Of the build
ing and appropriating the money
therefor was approved February
18th, but the Act also contained a
proviso that before commencing
the work an Act of the State Leg
islature, ceding exclusive jurisdic-
ton to the federal government of
the selected site, and the building
to be erected thereon, must be
passed. Had the existence of this
proviso been promptly made
known to the Sacramentans, the
desired Act would have easily
been obtained, the Legislature did
not adjourn until March 18th.
This notice was not given, however,
and now the Sacramentans are not
only the victims Of hopes deferred,
but are also appalled, at the fear
that the next Congress may frown
upon the liberality of its predeces-
sor and repeal the Act.

An Irishman in Tuscarora write
a letter to the Times Review taking
issue with the APPEAL for holding
that American sympathy should be
with England in case of a war with
Russia. and among other things
says !:
Il noticed labored effort from
the Carson APPEAL, extolling the
Infamous government OF Great
Britain, and appealing to American
sympathy in the event Of war be-
tween Russia and England. The
tyrrany and cruelty of Russia is
deliberately quoted, while the inhu-
man and barbarous rule of England
and the wrongs she has inflicted
upon weak and defenseless nations
are overlooked. Now, while l have
no desire to extol the Russian gov
ernment, / am prepared to show
that the peasantry of that country
are more comfortably situated than
the peasantry of the British Isles,
whose ancient inheritance has been
confiscated by the infamous, profit
gate and tyrranous followers OF
William the Conqueror.
"In conclusion, beg to inform
the Carson APPEAL that the only
sympathy true Americans owe to
Great Britain, is shot and shell.

The Newspapers and the Mayor
OF Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, April e.-The
war of McClure's papers against
Mayor Smith and the gamblers has
extended to. nearly all the city
journals, including the Republican
organ. The Press says this morn
ing: Mayor Smith seems content
to rest his vindication on a bunch
of afidavits and denials from
brood of doubtful characters. He
either ought never to have taken
any steps against his accusers, or
he ought to take a decisive step
farther. Certificates of character
from O'Brien, Brotherton and all
that gang are absolutely worthless.
As an advocate of Mayor Smiths
election and his supporter in all
that is right. the Press is not sat
isfied with his attitude and action.
Let Mayor Smith answer his ac'
cusers by forcing them to the is
sue. The Press prints the account
of round of visits to gambling
dens made by reputable stranger
in Philadelphia, TO test the truth
Of the accusation. He found no
difficulty in gaining admission
anywhere.

The Bartholdi statue Fund.

NEW YORK, April THE
Courier des Etats-Unis, the French
organ here, expressed itself with
great plainness with reference to
the Indifference of the people to
the Bartholdi fund. If the neces-
sary subscriptions are not forth
coming in the course of another
fortnight, it recommends the
statue be kept on the other side
Of the Atlantic. A morning news
paper which has given the statue
and itself large amount OF free
advertising, has collected over $11,-
600, principally in small sums
and about $4,000 is still re.
uuired.
