THe bureau chiefs and depart
ment officers Of the second rank at
Washington are falling into the
very bad habit Of padding their an
nual reports with newspaper pulls,
extracts from the private letters of
admiring friends, testimonials as to
the efficiency with which their work
is performed, and the like.
Commenting on the above, the
New York Sun pronounces it "a
glaring abuse" and points out that
cit was carried to the extreme of
absurdity in Land Commissioner
Sparks's report, in which not less
than twenty-one pages, or about
one-fifth of the entire document, is
devoted to the exhibition of an as
sortment of compliments, congratu-
lations, and commendatory remarks
on Mr.. Sparks's conduct, contribut-
ed by all sorts of people, and COM
placently printed at the public ex-
pense by the fattered Commissioner.
Nothing like it was ever seen except
in a patent medicine advertisement. "
The Third Auditor of the Treas
ury in his annual report INDUCES in
the same thing, although not to the
same extent. The San "finds a
page of letters written by pension
agents throughout the country con-
graduating the office on the activity
and efficiency shown in the adjust
ment Of their accounts. These
favorable opinions may be gratifying
to the Third Auditor, but they are
of no concern to the people of the
United States. The annual reports
of these officers are not campaign
documents, and self-puffery for
doing what is simply their duty
and no more, is out of place in an
official statement of results.
The proper judges of the efficiency
with which the officers of the de-
partments do their work, the Sun
truthfully says, are, first, their i'm
mediate superiors, and, behind
them, the people who are taxed to
pay the salaries. The opinions of
subordinates, admiring personal
friends, volunteer correspondents,
and rural newspapers are not re-
CURED in the annual reports. The
Administration ought to put stop
promptly to this ridiculous practice.

THE Baltimore Herald informs
us that the newspapers of that city
never speak as they pass by, and
says that when two Baltimore news
papers "become too neighborly
there's going to be row, just as
sure as a fight will follow the putting
of two cats in bag" We are sorry
to hear this. We had no idea that
the courteous proprietors Of our big
city dailies possessed thepugnacious
instincts of the Thomas cat. File
upon you, brothers.

The President has evidently lost
faith in the newspaper press. He
unburdened himself before the
Harvard dons at their late celebra-
ton, in ill-tempered denunciations
OF its criticisms upon himself, which
seems to have removed the last
yestige of faith and charity from
his expansive bosom for editors and
reporters. Moved By these recent
convictions of the ''goulishnesso of
the press he has restored to Office
one Of the United States district
attornies whom he had suspended
for disobeying his offensive partizan
order on mere newspaper reports
and without due consideration.
This act of executive clemencv''
is to be commended, but the reasons
for it are not so clear.

OUR New FEATURE. The plan
we have adopted of putting our
local matter in smaller type, while
it does not show off the columns to
such an imposing extent as did the
old type. yet it enables us to give
more reading matter by economizing
space. This idea, we believe, is
fully recognized and appreciated by
our readers. We have been much
gratifed with the many words and
acts of encouragement which have
lately fallen to our share, and we
are pleased to be able to present to
the citizens of Annapolis, a paper
of which they may be justly proud.
We think we can say, truthfully
and without egotism, the The CAPT.
TAI is, and has been since its birth,
the best local paper in the city; and
We shall faithfully endeavor to pre-
serve its high standard in future,
and to make it, in typographical
character and in local intelligence, a
journal which shall be evena greater
credit to the city and to the news
paper profession than it has been
heretofore. And to achieve this end
we solicit the cooperation Of our
citizens.

THE Hon. s. s. Cox, our late
minister to Turkey, and now con-
gresham elect in the city Of New
York, does not think much Of the
Henry George socialistic party. In
a recent speech he said:
There is no room under the Constitution
for such vagaries as those of Henry
George. The followers of George forget
that we have an established government
here. II was very strange experience
for an American to come across the
Continent of Europe, seeing on his way
the people ground under the iron heel of
despotism, and then to arrive in New York
and be told that America. of all others, is
the land where the laboring man is OPP
pressed

popular With our citizens.

The Railroad Bill.

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
Will some wiser man than the writer
answer the following questions in re-
gard TO the 18th section Of Mr.. Nun
ford's railroad bill
/. Is it competent for the General
Assembly to confer upon board of
railroad commissioners the power to
enact laws governing railroad trans
portation from which there shall be no
appeal and which the courts are bound
to enforce? Isit not in cOntrayention Of
Article Y. Of section Of the Consti-
tuition. which declares that A" the legis-
latiye power Of this Commonwealth
shall be vested in a General Assem-
bly,, which shall consist Of Senate and
House Of Delegates ~:
.. Is it not a most hazardous ex-
pertinent in these degenerate days Of
bribery and corruption to place in the
hands Of any three men, however Sc
lected, the absolute power to fix the
rates to be charged by corporations
handling millions Of money, and not in
frequently controlled by men ready TO
use it for the most corrupt purposes +:

the days Of Horace Walpole that men
no longer have their price? Quis Gus

ever, people are getting tired of the
stufy, badly.ventilated ballroom at
Delmonico's, where all the dancers are
oveTheated and the matrons frozen to
death, and therefore the last Patriarchs'
ball, given at the Metropolitan Opera
House assembly-rooms, was great
success. The windows were hung with
tulips and smilax, and the white and
gold decorations of the hall and ceilings
presented Versailles.like effect. The
leader was j. Frederic Tams, Of yacht
ing fame. BY far the prettiest pri-
yate ball Of the week was that
given by Mrs. Ogden Goelet, who was
Miss Wilson, of the South. Mr. Goelet
inherited millions from his father. Their
house in Fifth avenue is dream Of
beauty and magnidcence =; fine, large
rooms open into a wide baronial hall,
in which is wood fire, and all sorts Of
graceful little hooks are made by cur
tains, chairs, and screens and tete.a-
tetes. The dressing was splendid, many
ladies appearing in red, and also in the
deep yellow, now so fashionable, and
diamond tiaras and pearl necklaces were
not at all uncommon. Very low-necked
dresses were worn and sleeveless gowns
with gloves to the shoulder.
DINNERS.
Then the dinners are all made to as
sumo a color. Those for bellies who
have been out one winter are called
pink dinners those for debmaRies are
called rosebud dinners; those for young
girls who are to come out next winter
are called green dinners. At dinner
given for heryery young daughter, Mrs.
William b. DinSmore, Jr., gave green
dinner, the favors being all light
green. while the table decorations
were of that color. One nobleman,
Sir RodeTick Cameron, is entertain
ing beautifully at University Place. He
has always kept up fine baronial style
at his beautiful place on Staten Island.
The married bellies of this winter are
Mrs. Maude Ramsey, granddaughter
of Commodore Garrison Mrs. AdOlph
Ladenburg, Mrs. j. d. F. Lanier, and
Mrs. John Elliott COndin. The recep-
ton at the Union League Club was
crowded and fashionable, and the new
president. Mr.. Chauncey F. Depew,
gained untold hOnors and compli-
ments. The Amateur Dramatic Club,
containing as it does, two Of the pref
test and the most gifted of the de6u-
fqntes Of the season, Miss Cornelia
Van Auken and Miss May Beady, who
has Irish beauty and wit, are bound
to succeed. and their Saturday evening
plays at the University Club Theatre
are amongst the best things of the sea-
son. With three public balls week,
and several private dances with pri-
vate theatricals and readings; brilliant
muSicdles at Mrs. MusgraVe's and Mrs.
del Mcnete'S, the season is considered
dull one What next? Mrs. James
Brown Potter will play - \ Russian
