NOTWITHSTANDING the complaints of delay
in the issuing of public documents, Mr.. Bene-
dict, of the Government Printing Office, dis
missed and furloughed nearly one hundred
more employees on Saturday, his explanation
being that this action was necessary in order
not to exceed the appropriation. Old men,
bers of Congress who had been trying to fig
ure out how it was that Public Printer Rounds
gave steady employment to three hundred
more hands than Benedict has had, and did it
with a smaller appropriation than is at COM
mand this year, are more puzzled than ever
at this dismissal of hundred more, and the
practical printer" and able Democratic fnan-
cier at the head of the concern will probably
be called upon to explain.

CONGRESSMAN ENLoE, of Tennessee, has
taken tilt at the notorious abuse of congress
sional funerals A bill introduced by him
provides that when Congressman dies 'the
funeral expenses incurred by the Sergeant-at-
arms shall be paid out of any money in his
hands to the credit of the deceased member
either on account of salary or mileage" This
would pu. the expense of a deceased Congress
mans funeral where it belongs, on his own
estate, and would do away with the funeral
junketing business But a better reform
would be for Congress to assume control or
responsibility in the matter. The congress
sionaI funeral is based on wrong conception
of public duty, and is fraud from beginning
to end. It should be abolished altogether.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's present to the
Pope was arranged and has been worked for
the pure and simple purpose of obtaining
votes. A private present from Mr.. Cleveland
to the spiritual head of the Catholic Church
would have been very proper, but the testi-
monial has been made to take on an official
character as from the President of the United
States to the Pope of Rome. 1t is a dema-
gogical attempt to make votes, and that's all
