From a Washington Letter.
Immediately infront of the capitol, on the
west side. is large fish reservoir 1t is prob
ably 60 feet long by IS feet wide in the aver
age, and is probably Is feet deep at the upper
end and "a feet deep at the lower end. tits
shaped like an egg, is built of stone, and
catches the surplus water from the springs
beneath the capitol, which supply the inha6-
itants with drinking water. An iron spout
pours the surplus water into the reservoir in
constant stream. There is n large variety
of fish in the reservoir, and leaning against
the rails which surround it may be seen
at nearly all times OF the day q crowd of
spectators. for the water Is SO transparent
that the fish may be seen at any depth. Dur
ing the past week a body of laborers were
engaged for two or three days cleaning out
this reservoir. The water was turned Off and
the fish taken out and placed in watts. The
bottom of the reservoir is covered with stone
and cement, but on top of that was found a
mucous. a slime of mud, moss and leaves,
probably three inches deep. The architect OF
the capitol said to your correspondent during
the process Of cleaning TIE reservoir, that
although the work was very heavy and I'M
pleasant. none Of the duties about the capitol
were performed with greater zeal and pleas
ure by the workmen. The reason of this
was he said, that the men who cleaned out
the filth often found a good deal of
valuable treasure in it. Senators and
Representatives are often seen to
throw dimes and nickes and fancy buttons
and scarf pins into the pool to see the fish dart
after them. The reservoir is cleaned out
about every three months. and there is found
deposited at the bottom of it almost peck of
these little trinkets, which are thrown into it,
and occ aslonAlly the wOrkmen receive very
valuable tips" for their extraordinary la
bors. On one occasion it is said diamond
ring and three or four IS geld pieces were
found among the valuables. They had evil
IDENTIFY been cast into the pool by mistake.
The gold pieces were doubtless thought to be
pennies at the time they were thrown in.
The fish are mostly gold, and are 80 clean in
their habits that they never swallow any of
the things which are thrown at them.

that tive ought to ship many millions of

several hundred thousand bales or cotton

bile seems determined TO reclaim her lost
trade, and her business men are making
commendable efforts TO do so, but this is

This little hint is from the Chicago
News: "Some people wonder why 1t is
that the New York Sun has succeeded in
getting the inside track of all its contem-
poraries in the matter OF news from tue
White House. They seem to forget that
Col. Dan Lamont was a reporter for the
sun six years ago. We do not mean to
suggest that the genial and high. minded
Colonel would for any consideration what
ever betray trust, but it would be quito
natural it, in the distribution of his official
favors TO the press, he were to reserve the
tid-bits and the mOrceaux for the news
paper which he once served so efficiently
and which always has a compliment
ready for him and for his work" 1t is
more than probable that Col. Lamont's
room is occasionally visited by his old ac-
qaintance, the SUMS office cat, and hence
that paper Is thus enabled to get cate
gorical response TO Its request for news.

The Republican Senators are reported to be

The Republican Senators are reported to be
nearly unanimous against permitting the con-
troversy with the President in regard to pa
pers on the files of the department to lead
them into a general warfare against the Pres
ident's nominations. The policy which has
prevailed since the President took office, of
considering his appointments on their merits
will still be pursued. and his good nomina-
tons will be confirmed and his bad ones re-
jected. That would seem to be the wisest
course to pursue. The Presidents attitude
in regard to papers in the department is, we
believe, untenable, and when it is thoroughly
understood the people willnot sustain it. But
should raid on the Presidents nominations
grow out of it the original question would
pretty surely be obscured, and all the public
would see would be a controversy about the
offices, and in controversy of that sort the
President would be more likely to get its
sympathy than the Senate.

Boston Transcript.
The Province of Government.
[H. c. Fulton in Century Magazine

III. c. Fulton in Century Magazinel
A strong government is necessity, but
complex departments, necessitating an army
of officers, and built up ON the false idea that
government is huge organization for BUSH
ness, debases politics, substitutes the desire
for Office in place of the desire for the welfare
of the nation, and thus leads to that corrup-
ton of which we have had glazing examples,
and which may work great Injury. This is a
danger ahead" which it is well for us to
guard against.
The opening up of new portions of the
country should be left to the people, that
they may act as necessity requires. The fore
ing process Ply government aid and credit,
which throws open vast areas which cannot
be occupied excepting by calling for, and in
ducing the Old World to unload its surplus,
and oftentimes lawless. population upon us,
leads to the growth of socialism. If social
ism is danger ahead, the government may
take part of the blame for not leaving the
law of increase and progress to work out its
own natural result Our desire for increase
of population, and the settling up of the
country, to degree beyond that afforded by
increase within, and through natural immi-
grafton, has made it necessary to call upon
SON6IlllHtllJ 10 uU tudL WHICH WAS hot COIL
templated by our organic law, and which
cannot properly be considered a duty of gov
eminent. And this has led to inviting dan
ger ahead, by Unfortunately opening our
doors to the world, and drawing to us the
lowest disturbing elements of Europe, and
placing the ballot in the hands of those alb
solutely unfit to govern themselves, and
much less fitted to have voice in the gov
eminent of others. By this process we have
not strengthened our government. A coun--
try may grow beyond its strength. Material
may be gained which adds to the growth, but
Injuries the stability. When government keeps
within the line of its duty, and protects the
people, while they build such avenues of
communication, open up such sections of the
land, and engage in such other enterprises
as they may deem proper and required by
the natural growth of the country, there will
be found less danger ahead" than when the
government assumes the functions Of gil
gantic monied corporation, engages in all
sorts of business, and comes into COMPETE
ton with private enterprise. The question
is, not what government can do, but what
government may do, consistent with the pur-
poses for which it was established

THE FORESTRY COMMISSION AT WORK.
Boston Transcript.
That New York did not establish its For
estrv Commission any too soon is shown by
the Statement of one of the commissioners as
TO what has been accomplished and what re-
mains to be done. In one of the forest coun-
ties six thousand logs cut from the States
preserves have been seized, and seizures
have been made in other localities. When
the commission first went into operation it
encountered the hostility of public sentiment
in the forest counties. This hostility was
very natural, as numbering where the dealer
can steal his logs from the State is very
profitable industry. But this hostility has
given way before the energetic action Of the
commission, which has instituted a number
of prosecutions, and has sent its foresters
into the thick woods of the Adirondacks to
procure evidence and check depredations.
Now the commission finds that many people
think it the wiser course to assist it in its
labors, and that honest lumber dealers,
awaking to the fact that it means business
are ready to cooperate.
