DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
having been placed in the hands Of purely ex-
ecutive officers, while the congress still retains
all legislative authority relating TO its govern
ment, IL becomes my duty TO make known the
most pressing needs Of the district and recon-
mend their consideration. The laws of tn dis
trict appear to be in an uncertain and unsatls-
factory condition, and the cOdlhcation OF their
provisions is much leeded. During the past
year one Of the bridges leading from the dis
trict to the State of Virgin la became unfit for
use, and travel upon it was forbidden. This
leads me TO suggest that the Improvement OF
all the bridges crossing the Potomac and us
branches from the city OF Washington Is worthy
of the attention OF congress. The commission
ers Of the district represent that the laws regu-
lating the sale Of liquor and granting license

that legislation is needed to consolidate,
define and enlarge the power Of charitable
and penal Institutions within the district. l
suggest that the commissioners be clothed with
the power to make, within fixed limitations, po-
regulations. / believe this power granted
and carefully guarded would tend TO subserve
the good order Of the municipality. II seems
that trouble still exists, growing out of the occu-
Of the streets AMI avenues by certain rail-
roads having their Lermini in the city. 1t is very
that such laws should be enacted
upon this subject as will secure to the railroads
all the facilities they require for the transaction
of their business, and at tie same time protect
citizens from injury to their persons or prop
erty. The commissioners again complain that
the accommodations afforded them for the nee
essary officers for district business and for the
safe keeping Of valuable books and papers are
entirely inefficient. l recommend that this con-
iitIOn Of affairs be remedied by congress and
hat suitable quarters be furnished for the needs
Of the district govern ment. In conclusion, /
invoke such wise action on the part of
the peoples legislators MS Will subserve the pub
nc good and demonstrate, during the remaining
days Of the congress as at present organized, its
ability and inclinatiOns to so meet the peoples
need that it shall be gratefully remembered by

THE Y SERVICE.
OPERATION OF THE LAW.

Z#
The continued operation OF the law relating
co our civil service has added TO the most con-
vfncing proofs OF its necessity and usefulness.
II Is 9 fact worthy OF note that every public off,
Ger who has q just idea Of his duty to the people
testi1es 70 the value or shis reform. Its
staunchest friends are found among those who
understand IL best, and it's warmest supporters
are those who are restrained and protected by
its requirements. The meaning OF such restraint
and protection Is not appreciated by those who
want places under the government regardless Of
merit and efficiency. nor by those who insist
that the selection for such places should rest
upon q proper credential showing active partisan
work. They mean 20 the good PEOPLE OF the
country the better performance OF the work Of
their government. IL Is exceedingly strange
that the scope and nature or this reform are
30 little understood and that so many
things not Included within its plan
are called by It's name When
The civil service law yields more fully to ex-
animation the system viii have large additions
TO the number OF It's friends. Our civil service
reform may be imperfect In some Of its details,
It may be misunderstood and opposed, IL may
not always be faithfully applied, its designs may
sometimes miscarry through mistake or IN will,
or 1t may sometimes trembie under the assaults
OF it's enemies or ianQnish under the misguided
zeal OF impracticable friends, III the people OF
this country ever submit TO the banishmcnt Of
fts underlying principle from the operation Of
their government they will abandon their surcst
guarantee OF the safety and success Of American
institutions. I invoke for this reform The
cheerful aud ungrudging support OF The congress-.
4 renew my recommendation made last year
that the commissioners be made equal to other
officers Of the government having like duties and
responsibilities, ard ! hope that such reasonable
appropriations may be made as win enable them
TO Increase the usefulness Of the cause they have
charge Of.

HoUsE.-The house finally passed an
electoral count bill, but with amendments
which will make it necessary to send the
bill back to the senate. The amendments
are, some Of them, important; but even
those who were opposed TO the amend
ments seem willing to yield their objections
in order to secure an authOrltatlVe eH-
DressiOn Of the constitution erected into
law in advance OF any complication which
may again arise. The Importance OF
having some means OF counting the vote
has seemed to be impressed upon the MINDS
OF members more in the few days OF this
session than at any time since the exciting
DAYS Of 1876. The senate bill without
amendments was vastly preferable to the
vague terms Of the existing law. Ihe gen
eral tenor and spirit OF the senate bill met
with the unanimous approval OF the house
committee. The amendments which have
been adopted, the majority think, better
carr" oHt the spirit of the senate bill.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole en- the Bill creating &3cTa1tTicHt
OF agriculture and labor. The bin wassup-
ported by Messrs. Weaver QOwa), Hatch
and Anderson, and opposed by Messrs.
Breckenridge (Ark.), Reagan, Gibson and
Tucker. Mr.. Hatch said, among other
things:
The thirty millions OF farmers did not
intend that the department OF agriculture
should be hlotted out Of the statute books
OF the United States. 1t would not be
blotted out; and ii gentlemen on the dem
ocratic side had n proper appreciation Of
the president they would give him the OPP
%portunity Of calling into his cabinet a rep
rescntative OF the great interest OF the
American people.
The house passed, with some amend
ments, the bill of the senate providing for
some extension Of the letter carrier system.
Cox, who has long been known as the letter
carriers best friend, made a speech for it.
The bill, by its provisions, covers 179 cities,
OF which 40 have the requisite population
and postofice revenue; II the requisite pop
u~lation, but not the revenue, and the re-
mainder the requisite revenue, bat not the
population. The Northwestern cities and
towns affected by the new law are as fol-
lows:
Observation-Disclosures, Red Wing, Roch.
ester, Saltwater.
Wisconsin-AppIeton, GAINESVILLE, Fond
du Lac.
Iowa-Clinton, Iowa City, Marshall
town, Oskaloosa, Muscatine, Waterloo.
Dakota-Fargo, Huron, Sioux Falls.

AGRICULTURE
xoRK OF TIE -pEpARrNENr.

WOhk OF T6E DEPARTMENT.
The department Of agriculture, representing
the oldest and largest of our national industries,
Is subscribing well the purposes Of it's organiza-
tion by the introduction Of new subjects of
farming enterprise aud by opening new sources
Of agricultural wealth and the disseminance of
early information concerning production and
prices. It has contributed largely TO the coun-
try's prospects, though this agency, advanced
through Investigation touching the subjects IL
has in charge, should among other things be
practically applied to the home production at a
low cost Of articles Of food which are now i'm
ported from abroad. Such an innovation will
necessarily, of course, in the beginning,
be within the domain of intelligent
experiments, and the subject in every stage
should receive all possible announcement from
the government. The interests of millions of
our citizens engaged In agriculture are involved
In an enlargement and Improvement of the re
suits OF their labor; and q Jealous regard for
their welfare should be a willing tribute to those
whose productive returns are a main source OF
our progress and power. The existence of pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle OF various states
has led to burdensome and In some cases disas-
trous restrictions in an important branch OF our
commerce, threatening TO affect the quantity
and quality OF our food supply. This Is a mat
ter OF such Importance and of such far-reaching
consequences that / hope 1t will engage the seri-
Gus attention OF this congress, to the end that
such a remedy may be applied as the limits OF a
constitutional delegation OF power to the general
government will permit. i commend to con-
gress the report OF the commissioner and his
suggestions concerning the interest," entrusted
TO his care.

granted during the last fiscal year, including re-
ISSUES, trade marks, designs and labels, was
25,6l9-a number also quite largely in excess OF
that Of any preceding year. The report Of the
commissioner shows the office to be in a pros
porous condition, and constantly increasing in
ats business. No increase Of force is asked for.
The amount estimated for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1886, was $500, 700.
The amount estimated for the year ending June
80, 1887, was 1858, 900. The amount estimated
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888, Is

TIE PACIFIC
The secretary OF the interior suggests a change
in the plan for the payment Of the Indebtedness
of the Pacific subsidized roads TO the govern
ment. His suggestion has the unanimous en-
doTsement OF the persons selected by the gov
eminent 10 act as directors Of these roads aud
protect the interests of the United States in the
board of direction In considering the plan pro-
posed the sole matters which should be taken
into account, in my opinion, are the situation OF
the government az a creditor and the surest way
TO secure the payment of the principal and in
terest OF its debt. By a recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States 1t has been
adjudged that the laws Of the several states are
imperative to regulate rates Of transportation
upon railroads, il such regulation interferes with
the rate Of carriage from one state into another.
This important field Of control and regulation
having been thus left entirely unOcCupied, the
expediency of federal action upon the subject Is
worthy OF consideration.

swindled the Gosernmsnt

New YORK, Dec 6.-Collector Magone has
brought to light a nice piece of swindling in
public stores. The man in charge of that
entered into q corrupt agreement at that
time with Israel Hamburger, an importer OF
374 Broadway. by which Hill allowed Ham,
berger to take goods consigned to him out
of the public stores TO his place of
business. There the cases were emptsed,
filed up with rubbish. and returned to the
public stores. Hamburger then appeared
before the collector and said he had de-
cided to export the goods belonging
TO him in cases back to Europe. Permission
was given, the cases shipped to Europe, and
then filed by Hamberger's agent with mer-
chandise and returned to this country. By
the first trick Hamburger evaded $1,000
worth of duty.
