Prepared for the Coming Hosts.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-This is a great
season for the half of Washington which
lives on the other half by furnishing
board and lodging. The boarding house
keepers and the people who have rooms
to rent evidently expect a mighty host
in the near future. Although signs of
rooms to rent are about as numerous as
the houses themselves, yet the most ex-
tortionate prices are asked. From $50 to
800 month for room without board
is not an uncommon price, and $50 for a
single room on top floors is the usual
price in well kept houses.

scientific investigations OF the bureaus
The president counsels early attention
to the relations between the government
and the land grant railroads, and ex-
presses the opinion that an extension OF
time for the payment OF their indebted
ness would be OF advantage TO the gov
eminent, and the subject should be
treated as q business proposition.
District of Columbia.
In regard to the affairs of the District
of Columbia the president states that af-
fairs are in satisfactory condition, and
he calls attention to the request of the
commissioners for legislation which will
enable them to properly arrange the laws
30 that they can be made distinctly
operative.
In Conclusion.
The message concludes as follows:
As public servants we shall do our
duty well If we constantly guard the
rectitude of our intentions, maintain un-
sullied our love of our country. and with
unselfish purpose strive for the public
good.

COMMENTS.
what Senators and Republicans Have to
Say About the Message.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Some Of the
comments on the presidents message,
obtained from senators and representa-
tives by representative of the United
Press are given below:
Mr.. Haor-About all can say is that it
embodies the utterances of disap-
pointed politician.
Mr.. Sherman-There is nothing strik-
ing about the last part of it. The first
part did not hear.
Mr.. Cullom-Of necessity he dies
game on his tariff views, and his refer
ence to internal affairs runs into great
scold.
Mr.. Henderson, was not particu-
larly struck with what l heard of the
message. ] can say, however, that II
Mr.. Cleveland will visit the Northwest
after he has more leisure, he will find
that our farmers do not indorse his
utterances on the tariff question.
MIR. Cockrell-I cannot say much about
the message until shall have read it
over. Generally speaking, it impressed
me very favorably.
Mr. Ransom-I think it was like all of
Mr.. Cleveland's public communications
have been, a very able and concisely
framed instrument.
The following opinions, expressed by
prominent members of the house of rep
resentatives, represent the views of Re
publicans and Democrats on the presi-
dents message:
Mr.. snowden Pa1 Dem.-The mes
sage is all right, except the tariff portion.
The farmers of this country in the last
election put veto on the presidents
idea. They know that what betters the
wageworkers' condition enhances the
price of their products, and they voted
accordingly.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
Dem. 1.-THE president keeps in view the
fact that it is fight between monopoly
and labor, and he is on the side of labor.
Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, Qnd. The
presidents position on the tariff is just
the right thing, but am sorry he saw
fit to recommend suspension of silver
coinage.

Free delivery offices have increased
from 1S9 in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1885, to 358 In the year ended June
80, 1888. In the railway mail service
there has been an increase in one year OF
16S routes, and in the number of miles
travelled per annum an increase of 160,-
795. 917.48. The estimated increase Of
railroad service for the year was {, 1000
miles, but the amount of new railroad
service actually put on was 42,764.50
miles.
The volume of business in the money
order division, including transactions in
postal notes, reached the sum of up-
wards of $143, 000, 900 for the year.
The Parcel Post.
During the past year parcel post con-
yentions have been concluded with Bar
BADGES, the Bahamas, British Honduras
and Mexico, and are now under nego-
tiation with all the Central and South
American states. The increase for cor.
respondence with foreign countries dur
ing the past three years is gratifying,
and is especially notable with the Gem
trail and South American states and with
Mexico. AS the greater part Of mail.
matter exchanged with these countries
is commercial in its character, this In
crease is an evidence of the improved
business relations with them.
The practical operation Of the parcel
post conventions SO far as negotiated has
served to fulfill the most favorable pre-
dictions as to their benefits. In January
last general postal convention was ne
gotiated with the dominion of Canada,
