bric-a-brac and curios, the gift of DIR. Mccarthy,
who has been a resident OF that country for over
thirty-five years. Among this collection are
two very handsome bronze vases, beautifully
inlaid in gold and silver. The two are valued
at s 500. Also sword presented by one of
his Japanese scholars which is said To be over
400 Years old. several valuable Japanese
books with the English translation. and japan
writing desk inli,id in gold, are also among the
collection.
The show cases for the swords, flags, &c, pre-
sented by Gen. Grant are finished. but as the
War department still holds the curios, il is
not likely they will be on exhibition until Con-
gresS looks into The matter.
The sculptor OF the museum Is at present
busily engaged in making another plaster OF

PERSONAL EXPLANATION.

BY parliametarylaw apersonal eX-
PLANTATION is always in order. The
Chairman, to correct errors in refer
ence to himself, will submit a state
ment. In the recentcanvass railroad
orators and newspapers christened
the railroad regulation policy an
nounced in the Democratic platforms,
as the Savage policy" also, in like
manner, then and now, the Chair
man is heralded by their agents as
the author and champion of this
"policy," when in fact and in truth,
prior to his appointment as Commits
sioner, he had never, in any public
speek or by any printed document,
discussed or advocated this policy in
any manner whatever. He had no
agency whatever in passing the law
of 1888. He refused to talk to men,
bers Of the Legislature about it while
pending, believing it wrong to do so.
With this explanation, he is will
ing hereafter to bestyled "the advo-
cate and champion" of policy to
regulate Interstate commerce by ma
tional legislation, and commerce with
in a State by State legislation.
The officeof Railroad Commissioner
brings to its possessor much labor,
little pay, and great abuse. 1t was
offered by the Governor, and was ac-
copied because it seemed to be the
wish of friends, and it was hoped that
some good might be done. 1t was
considered a task and burden rather
than a personal benefit.
The following extract from the
Chairman's printed address will ex
plain his relation to this policy:
at is recommended that the act O.
1883 be amended reserving the rights
of the State in these suits, and tina
other provisions, free from the sup
posed defects imputed by the Fedora
Judges, and in conformity with thu
wise legislation of other States, bt
encated, and that the Commission b
