Two boys, who wore masks, robbed the
house of Theodore Wolfe, near Chicago, early
on Sunday morning. Mrs. Wolf, who was
alone in the house, was awakened by knock
on the front door, with the summons, "Open
this door, or we'll break it down. Ws'rs
robbers" While she nearly tainted from
fear, the threat was executed, and one of the
burglars threw her down and choked her,
while the other ransacked the house. When
they got all they could find the young ruhians
fed. Mr.. Wolfe returned home about half an
hour after the robbery. His wife has since
been dangerously i'll.

THE TELEPHONE SCANDAL,

Tho administration, as reflected by its
champions, is taking remarkable method to
free itself from the scandal involving two
members of the Cabinet. Instead Of having
Mr. Garland purge himself of suspicion by
surrendering or selling his Pan-electric stock,
which did not cost him penny, it seems to
be the purpose of the President to not only
permit him to retain it, but to afford such in
fiuence in the case now pending as to make
the Attorney general millionaire without the
outlay Of dollar. To this end, and to divert
attention from the fact that this official is prac
tically bribed, concerted attack has been
made upon the Bell Telephone Company,
which is now being denounced as
merciless monopoly. This may be
true, and yet be wholly irrelevant to the ques-
ton at issue, 80 far as Mr.. Garland is con-
cerned, and, indeed, so far as the merits OF
the issue between this company and
its opponents is concerned If the papers

THERE has been issued, by order of Con-

being a descriptive catalogue of the govern
D.ment publications of the United States, en-
ebracing the title of every document pub
ished by act of Congress from Sept 5. TIA,
to March 1, 1881. The alphabetical index of
these publications takes up 149 pages, of three
columns each, fine type, and an estimate
shows that 10000 publications have been
made, ranging from two-page pamphlet to
works that cost tens of thousands of dollars
In this way millions Of dollars have been
squandered, and the evil is growing rather
than being restricted. Year after year the
most useless matter is being put into print
and bound fit to find place in Libraries.
Speeches that were never delivered, and will
probably not be read are published by the
hundred at very great expense, and still the
outlay is kept up. One of the best ways to
curb this useless waste of money would be to
pass a law requiring each member of Congress
to keep copy of this volume on his desk
during every day of the session. The evil
should be abated.
