The Public Printer Cutting on Needless
Expenses and Struggling to Remedy Re-
publican Abuses.
The new Public Printer. on taking
charge of his Office, was confronted by
the unpleasant fact that his predeces-
sOr, for the first two months of the
present fiscal year, expended sum
which, if the same ratio should be
kept up, would result in deficiency
of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Benedict says the Office is so
oyercrowded that the employees are in
each Others way, and the result is that,
after fortnight's examination of the
business, he has found he could get
along with a much smaller force The
meager remainder of the appropria-
ton left him by Mr.. Rounds compels
him to be very circumspect with ex-
penditures, and wholesale dismissals of
employees are the consequence. He
understands what is required of every
head of a bureau under the present
Administration, to bring every thing
down to hard pan and business priu-
ciples. The Government printing
Office was very convenient for Con-
gressmen TO pay off some of their po-
lltical debts to their constituents, and
Mr.. Rounds was too obliging to refuse
their applications. The new Public
Printer Is of sterner stuff, a thorough
business man, trained in an excel
lent school. and only intent upon full
HING his duty TO the letter, letting the
results of his work speak for them
selves He appreciates the golden rule
OF the Democratic Administration, that
an officer of the Government who has
charge of bureau holds the money of
the people in his hands, to be used for
the.r purposes, and to further their in
terests, and when any part of the
funds which the taxpayers have en-
trusted to him are diverted to other
purposes. or when, by design or neg
l,ct, he allows sum to be applied to
the salaries of unnecessary employees,
merely to please some member Of Con-
gress, or some personal or political
friends. he violates his duty.

departments of the Government, there
is no different rule of fidelity, under

The English sparrow and the Bobolink,
Pests That should be Differentiated.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE material is
largely in hand in the newly organized
division of economic ornithology of the
Department OF Agriculture for a series of
bulletins upon the relations of several com
mon species OF birds in this country to agri-
culture. The evidence collected viii have
a strong tendency in some cases 70 upset
widely prevalent notions respecting the
habits and value of certain birds, in others
to lead to organized efforts for the miti-
CATION or extinction of pests which threaten
destruction to valuable branches of
agriculture. In the latter category
DIR. c. III. Merriam the head OF the
division, places the English sparrow rs
chief. This bird was imported with a
flourish of praise some years ago, as an
agent for the protection of shade trees

Very Monotonous.

Having been deprived of the more
serious business of carrying on the Ma
tional Government, the Republican
party now devotes good deal of its
leisure time to drafting resolutions.
Those who have met with reverses are
much given to telling what they did in
the DAYS of their prosperity, and what
they would like to do for the benefit of
the human race if they had the means.
1t doubtless soothed the feelings of the
Ancient Mariner to pour his tale into
the unwilling ears of the wedding
guest. Grief is apt to be voluble. TIE
Republican resolutions of these DAYS
are very long and very dreary. There
is a sameness about them that suggests
their emanation from single source.
Probably skeleton plans of platforms
have been prepared, under the direct
supervision of the master carpenter at
Augusta, for the use of State and dis
trict conventions. They all begin, it
will be observed. by pointing with
pride'' to what the party did ..in the
wah," about q quarter of a century
ago, when it was young and virtuous.
Concerning its record during the last
fifteen years they are naturally ret
icent But of what the party would
do if it only had another chance, many
words are necessary to tell. And the
letters of Junius, and other literature
of invective, ara heavily drawn upon
TO describe the Democratic sins Of orais.
