GARLAND's ANNUAL.

The Attorney General Thinks Another
National Penitentiary Necessity.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Attorney Cen
eral Garland, in his annual report, makes
an earnest appeal to congress for the con-
struction of government penitentiaries
and reformatories. Recent laws that
have been enacted by states with respect
to the labor of prisoners prove more con-
clusively than ever, he says, the abso-
lutte need of such institutions. Provis-
ions should at once be made looking to
the erection of at least one United States
penitentiary and, if possible, reforma-
tory. The objection in the minds of
many that the cost of conducting such
an institution would be so much greater
than the existing arrangement. is being
almost overcome by the fact that the
favorable contracts which the depart-
rnent has heretofore been able to enter
into can no longer be made. This arises
from the fact that laws passed recently
by several of the states and by congress,
prevent the employment of prisoners on

sort to experiments in other systet,s. as
provision must necessarily be made for
the working of convicts, if discipline is
to be maintained and the prisoners
health and comfort considered.
The attorney general recommends a
special appropriation of 1876 900 for fees
and expenses of United States deputy
marshals, and readjustment of the
marshals' fee bill, which has not been
revised for thirty years. He also sug-
gests the reorganization of the official
force of the department, and the increase
OF the force to correspond with the in
creased amount Of work during the last
four years. On this subject tile attor-
ney general says: 1.-THE work of the de-
partment during the past year was q
continuation of what has been it's policy
during the whole of the present adminis-
tration, a strict and vigorous enforce
ment of the laws. For nearly four years
the department has kept this object in
view. and the results Of it's action are
very apparent. Because OF the diligent
prosecution of suits for the cancellation
OF fraudulent patents and against timber
tresspassers aud plunderers of the public
domain. it has come to be understood
that the laws enacted for the regulation
OF the public lands. both as to their gen
eral disposition and management, and as
granted to railroads and other corpora
tions are of binding force. and are to he

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

The Young Tory Statesman as the Cham
pion of His Wfe's sCountrymen-He Takes
Little Revenge on the London "Stand-
ard'' at the Same Time.
LONDON, Nov. 1S--Lord Randolph
Churchill in a speech at Paddington, yes
terday, said that he attached the greatest
importance to this country maintaining
an imperturbable and friendly attitude
towards America. He thought Pres
ident Cleveland's attitude after the rejec-
tion of the Flsherie treaty unfortunate,
but the utmost allowance ought to be
made for the American position at the
time. In regard to the dismissal OF Lord
Sackville, though the Presidents action
was sharp the speaker deprecated the
menaciag sneers and sulks 1ndulged in
here. "a war;" said Lord Randolph,
"betwesu England and America would
be more atrocious and dangerous than
any wased since God created the earth"
He trusted that the Minlstry's policy to.
ward the new Government at Washing
ton would be conceived with the view Of
making America one of England's best
allies on ali questions producing dura-
bic friendship between the English
speaking races, aud guaranteeing to hui
manIty the true blessings of liberty and
peace. Lord Randolph approved the
governments course in repressing crime
in Ireland, and also strongly advocated
the restriction of the liquor traffic.
LONDON. Nov. 19.-Lord Randolph
Churchill has at last been provided with
an opportunity to revenge himself upon
the Standard for its rejoicing over his
downfall when he left the Cabinet
Churchill has never had any love for the
Standard, which heartily detests him, and
it was with the keenest satisfaction
that on Saturday he characterized
that papers recent anti American
articles an ent the Sackville affair as the
cheapest and most transparent kind of
buster and bragadocio since they re-
fected the opinions of nobody, with the
possible exception of the man who wrote
them. The remarks of the young Tory
Democratic leader have received almost
general Endorsement, and the few persons
accepting the Standards view are Of the
belief that the articles would better not
have been written.

harder Etruria which arrived at her
dock last evening, after voyage OF
little over seven days of terrible weather,
during all of which the passengers re-
mained in their cabins, badly frightened
and suffering great discomfort 1t was
one OF the toughest experiences that the
Etruria's officers have ever known. The
passengers express some displeasure
o'er the fact that the speed of the vessel
vas never slackened, and the time made
vas nearly up to the racing standard.
Tie officers, on the other hand, say that
tlis complaint is unreasonable, as the
