found on inspection that so much
and such substantial work had al
ready been done, that we are
forced TO the opinion that the
best interests Of the State require
an additional appropriation. The
administration building, 4 inagni-
ficent structure, IS completed, ex
cept the inside work, the tower
and front steps. This building is
intended for offices for the warder,
room for the guards and a resi-
dence for the warden's family"
Here followed a detailed de-
scription of the work to date.)
"TwO hundred and seventy
thousand dollars have been ap-
prOpriated and expended, and
there is an unpaid balance of $780,
900 still due to contractors and
others. We estimate that $780,
600 more will be needed to com
plete the work already begun and
build kitchen, dining room, wash

Wet labor, that an appropriation
of $4,000 will be sufficient to
place the branch penitentiary in
a condition to accommodate Ala
cOnvicts, with cell room for each.
''The penitentiary might then
be leased upon the condition that
the lessees shall erect such build
ings for shops and make such
plants of machinery as may be
agreed upon, the cost of same to
be deducted from the amount OF

ain a multitude of counsel there
is wisdom, but in successful exc
cutiOn there must be unity. The
glaring want of harmony among
the three Commissioners of this
prison suggests the necessity fol-
their relief and the Appointment OF
one Commissioner at a fixed salary
to take charge of the works at this
prison. If this Commissioner
should be selected with reference
TO executive ability, practical
knowledge of building and civil
engineering, the services as well
as cost of an architect might be
dispensed with"

1t is not at all likely that the Senate
bill providing for erection Of pOst-Office
buildings in size and cost prOpOriiUnate
Ia the size Of The place will ever be
come law. The bill is the outcome
of large number OF bills which have
passed the House this session for
public buildings but even the Senators
see so many objections to the proposed
plan that the expression is all against
its passage. So large a number Of bills
for public buildings could not have
passed the House but for the fact Of
the large surplus ia the Treasury and
the reduction Of revenues that will
follow upon the passage of the tariff
bill. The members see that now or
never is the time to get their public
buildings and so the golden OppOrtuni-
ty is taken and the buildings go up.
Senator Vest is very much worried
over the widely circulated rumor that
he intends not to accept another cleo
ton as Senator and will retire from
| politics. The Senator has no such
intentions and will accept a reelection
unless he he appointed TO a Cabinet
position under Cleveland's second

all impossible as the Senator stands
very high in the estimation of the
President and be as well as the State
Of Missouri may be hOnOred by the
bestOwment Of a Cabinet position on
the able Senator.
The Senate is up in arms against
the claim agents aud an investigation
has been ordered into the ways and
means devised by some OF them to
work up his business. Some of the
Senators complain that they are In
frequent receipt Of letters from con-
stilueuts transmitting letters from
Pension Agents urging the soldiers to
appeal TO Congress for relief, aud
saying that now is the time, MS on the
eve OF the Presidential election both
parties IN Congress will by favorable
legislation seek to get the soldiers vote.
The Senators are indignant that it
should be even insinuated that they
are influenced by such motives aud the
investigation into the methods Of one
Of the Claim Agents whose circulars
have been largely circulated, will
result in such a report, and action
that others will be deferred from pur-
suing the same methods.
Senator COlquitt has introduced q
bill to submit TO the popular vote Of
the people in the District whether we
shall have prohibition or not. While
it is probable that the prOhibitiOnist
would carry the election, still there lie
not the slightest probability OF the bill
passing Congress, ut least, at this
session. It has been introduced too late
in the Session TO receive consideration
in the House even though it should
pass the Senate.
The division among the Republicans
in the House on the Internal Revenue
question has caused grave doubts as to
concert Of action between the Republi-
cans when the subject comes up for
consideration before the full house.
The vote la Committee ON the abolition
Of the tobacco tax was looked upon as
test vote and the vote Of Kelley aud
Reed for the abolition and the other two
Republieans-BurrOw and Browne
against it, is at the House regarded as
very significant.

Almont Butcher is 4 very handsome and

turn of speed with excellent dispositions.
Three of Blucher's produce have been
worked some little for speed-SPeedmont,
Ticker and the West fIly. AL Of them
could beat minutes in their y ear-old
form and were handled very lightly at
ycarlings; and SpeedmOnt could go his =

for $500 cash. Others Of his produce are
good, all Of which are from common bred
mares. AlmOnt Butcher has trOtted )
races and never lost heat with less than
months training. He is trotter, and
his colts as well as his breeding prove that
he will transmit the same quality. His
sire, Athlete, transmits speed; his dam
Lady Butcher transmits speed; AlmOnt

q. sire Alexander's Abdallah transmitted
speed; his G. g. g. sire Rysdyk's HANDLE
