the Indictment In New York OF Herr |
Most, the anarchist, has revived story
that has been long current in diplomatic
circles, the autnority for which Is SAID to
be A gentleman formerly connected with
the State Department OF the Austrian
government. The report is that long ago
Herr Most, when in Austria, the sup
posed head OF the socialists of that en-
pire, was in the employ of the secret ser
vice of Austria, that In considera-
tion of a large sum of gold he fur
nished the Austrian government with the
name cf every member of the Socialist
marty in the empire, or at least with the
names Of all the leaders and their loca-
tiops. tnat 10 order to vert suspicion
from himself he was put in jail by the
Austrian authorities, where he remained,
however, only sixty days when he was re-
leased and permitted to leave the empire.
The circumstances OF this payment are
said to be known to person now in this
city.
CAREERS OF BILLS.
But very small fraction of the people
who rush to their immediate representa-
tives, with pet bills they wish put through
the grind-mill of legislation. realize the
fntricacies of the channels through which
it must pass before becoming law. AL
ready this session there have been over
5000 bills introduced in the House and
printed. Some Of them have come to be
old veterans. The average mem Der OF Con-
gress, though be delights in introducing
as many bills as possible, does
not like 10 write them. He will frequently
lake bill that has done service in many
different causes, and will cut and slash
and interine it, and patch it together as
a new bill. 1t has been suggested as
means of preventing the House being
flooded with so many bills, that every
bill introduced must be in the hand
writing OF the man who offers it. After
bill is introduced il is read by title at
the clerks desk. 1t then has numerous
hieroglyphics put in blue pencil upon It's
back to show where 1t is to be
consigned. Then it is numbered and reg
istered in book and printed. The most
active part OF its existence is in being
printed. Ii It has a full run it is printed
six times. When first introduced, when
it is reported from the committee, when
it is passed by the House. Then the Sen
bFune Senate s9mnS5I55 n4sS55eii i sw s Alter alteP
that it has TO be printed In
the statute books. Meanwhile il
has been slowed away in the
document room and on the calendar of the
committee, has been discussed, aud prob
ably abused and cut to pieces, has been
objected to and threatened in the House,
and solemnly sat upon in the Senate.
This is the experience of the simplest and
most unmportaHt bill. The appropria-
tlOns bills suffer more at the hands of the
printer than this. They are first printed
as estimates, then as unofficial forms Of
the bill, then the bill as adopted by the
committee is printed. When it passes the
House it is printed, and again when 1t
reaches the Senate. 1t ~ next printed as
it passes the Senate. When it comes out
OF conierence-it 1t goes to c0nference-it
is printed as an act, and after that it is
printed in the statute books. A large
number of each bill is printed, and toe
document room becomes packed
with them, mostly private bills
of no Importance. They are constantly
being disposed of or destroyed, and new
ones are continually coming in. Fully
W per cent. OF them never pass through
Congress, and when they have failed
there they serve as butter wrappers in
the city markets. 1t has been estimated
that 1t costs more TO print the private
bills than is involved in all those tnat
pass.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY.
In some respects the Congressional
s. cemetery is at once one of the most
beautiful aud most peculiar spots in
Washington. 1t comprises forty acres OF
prettlly lying land on the banks OF the
men are buried here, out many more
whose bones lie else where have cenOtaphs
OF ireestOne here. Many years ago an act
was passed by Congress providing
that every Senator or REPRESENTATIVE
who died in his term OF office
should have memorial stone in the Con.
gressional cemetery. The first in line on
tie left hand is inscribed: "The Honor.
able John Quincy Adams, a Representa-
tive in the Congress nt the United states
from the State Of Mass. Died Feb. lg.
lS4S, aged 70 years" Mr.. Adams. how.
ever, is buried in Quincy, Mass. At the
other end of the line are two. in.
scribed respectively TO the Hon. John
G. Calhoun and to the Hon. Henry Clay.
Calhoun is buried in Charleston. S. c..
and Henry Clay in Ashland, Ky. Among
those whose bones really rest in the
cemetery are Thad. Stevens, Preston II .
Brooks, who created a sensation by
Gaming Mr.. sumner in tue Senate cham
Der, Elorldge Gerry, one OF the signers OF
The Declaration of Independence, Vice
: President George Clinton, and Tobias
Lear, who was for 10 years the private
secretary and intimate friend of George
Washington. He was present at his
death bed, and was the last person ad-
