WASHINGTON, February 23.-The Senate
passed q bill extending the laws OF the
United States over the Public Land Strip:
to amend the alien land act so as to per-
init foreign Governments to acquire prop
erty in the District OF Columbia; to pro-
vide protection for submarine ables, and
to enable the State of California to take
lands in lieu Of the sixteenth and thirty
sixth sections found to be mineral lands.
The bill authorizing the construction of

Oregon and Washington Territory was re-
ported adversely from the COMMITTEES.
The bill to ratify and confirm the agree
ment with the Gros Ventres and other
Grow Indians in Montana, was reported.

greater safety for life and property at sea

ment was adopted requiring the company

SOME of tho press OF the Territory are, as
is their won't, endeavoring to make
mountain out of molehill. They have in
this instance, fallen foul of Chief Justice
Mcconnell for appointing his son to the
Clerkship OF the Fret District Court of
Montana. vice Mr.. Keerl, removed. They
charge him with violating United States
statute which forbids the Judge of any
United States Court to appoint relative
to any Office in his gift as such Judge.
When they mention the fact that the posi-
tion to which Judge Mcconnell appointed
his son is that of Clerk OF the First District
Court OF Montana, further discussion is
dispensed with. Judge Mcconnell was
appointed to a position on the bench OF
the Supreme Court Of Montana. He and
his brethren on the bench are authorized
to preside at the sessions of the United
States Courts in the Territory, but that
is incidental. They are principally Judges
OF the Territorial Supreme bench and are
not amenable to the laws governing
Judges who are appointed to and preside
over United States District or Circuit
Courts.

THE PRINTING OFFICE.

Excellent Showing Made by Mr.. Benedict
Over His Republican Predecessors in
Office.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-Public print
er Benedict, was before the House Printing
Committee to-day. His labor roll, he said,
had heen reduced $4,000 or 5000. 900
during 1887. Other large savings has been
made and men were now getting more pay
and the Government more service. In pur-
chasing type, the witness received a dis.
count allowed on all purchases Of type, and
the bills showed it. Bills parchased eleven
weeks before he assumed Office failed to
show any such discount had been saved.
He disclaimed any knowledge beyond the
fact OF the practices OF his predecessors in
that respect. Touching the statement made
regarding the saving in the item OF ink, the
witness said his IL cent ink was better than
the 40 cent ink left by his predecessor in
Office, for the latter was an inferior ink,
full of varnish and not 1it for good work.

The House.

Mr.. McAdoo offered q resolution which
was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs requesting the President to send to
the House, if not incompatible with public
all correspondence between this
Government and the Governments of Great
Britain and Venezuela relating to the
question of disputed boundaries between
the British colonies and Venezuela.
The floor was then accorded to the Com.
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
Among the bills reported and placed on the
Calendar was one for the erection of pub.
lie building at Helena, Montana, and
Cheyenne, Wyoming; also, to increase the
for public building at San
Francisco to $65O,OOO.
The House went into committee of the
whole, and several bills were agreed to, all
being vigorously opposed by Mr.. Bland,
who spoke of them as shameful waste of
money. The committee rose, the House
passed the bills and adjourned.

Martin Preparing.

It is now stated that Martin, the Ana
conda murderer, has secured the services oi
E. w. Toole to defend him, and that the
defense will be accidental shooting. The
prisoner in bis statements since his arrest
claims that the pistol which killed Reardon
was the property of deceased and that at
the time it was discharged both men had
hold OF it and we're struggling for posses
sion. The trial when it occurs will be an
interesting one.

Farm Work Still.

Chicago Tribune: "It is greatly to be re-
gretted," was remarked in the hearing of an
Illinois farmer, "that farmers boys do not
stick to the farm. 1t seems as If scarcely
any of them do"
.:Oh, dunno" said the farmer. 1--WE
raised eight boys and they're all farmers
'cept one.'
Ills that so? Only one of them caught by
the glitter Of the city. eh?"
''Yes, that's all. Poor Bob would 20,
spite of all could do-run away to the
city when he was twelve, and we amt
never seen him since, though it's been over
twenty years. But 1 dunno but it's all
right; he hadn't no likin' for farm work,
nor wouldn't take no interest in it. Hejes'
seem to hate the farm, and didn't know
enough about farm work to drive ducks to
water"
"Yes, I think it was better that heshould
leave the farm, as he evidently had no
taste for it. Is he in the mercantile busi-
ness?"
"Oh, no, nothing OF the kind" replied
the farmer; mo, for the last ten years Bob
has been editor of an agricultural paper.

NAMING NEW STATES.

The Springer omnibus bill for the adnlis.
sion of the Territories provides that New
Mexico and Washington Territory may
submit to their people through their con-
ventions propositions involving a change
of their names respectively to Montezuma
and Tacoma by which they may, il they
please, enter Statehood. In naming the
Western Territories most OF them have
been very happy names, being meIlinuous
and individually characteristic. There is
nothing more grating 10 the ear OF
stranger in the new West than to run
across the nam" ~ some place historic in
Europe or the nportion OF this con-
tinent applied toa locality as utterly un-
like the place W.. y. t:le name originates az
night and day. The Indian names which
attach throughout the west to every nook
and corner are far moro appropriate and
original than any importation in the way
OF name. The names OF localities in
Montana are happily free to great extent
from this wretched plagiarism though not
confined to Indian nomenclature either. But
if the Territorial Convention OF Washington
Territory should be given the option next
fall they should certainly submit the pro-
position to change the name on admission
to the State OF Tacoma. OF course, Seat
tie and Spokane and a good many other
places in the Territory that are jealous OF
Tacoma's rapid growth and her vigorous
efforts to outdo Portland and all the rest
of the Coast cities will feel that undue
favor is being accorded her in the choice OF
name for the new State. But they ought
to suppress the feeling as much as possible.
Tacoma lays away over Washington as the
name of the future State, having the merit
OF individuality that will as soon as men
toned recall the geographical division OF
territory referred to. Should they insist
on retaining the honored name of Washing
ton the citizens of the Territory will be
acting with singular want Of judgment.
When "Washington" is mentioned, the
capital city of the nation is naturally in
ferred, and to individualize the State 1t
would be necessary to add the word
Estate" just as We have to add Territory"
now in referring to it. 1t ought to be the
State of Tacoma, and the capital ought to
be named anything else than Olympia
which savors of the Miss Edgeworth novel
heroine too much for q healthy western
town.
