The Exposition.

SrAUNToN, Va, Oct. 26th, 1888.
Editor Viaadicator:
In your report of Augusta county exhibi-
tors at the Richmond Exposition you state that
my herd of Jerseys won six first premiums.
This is a mistake, I won six premiums, four
first and two second,
This communication gives me the oppor-
tunity of calling attention to the fact that
Augusta the best county in the State, has no
representation or exhibit at the Exposition.
This causes general comment from visitors
who know anything of the county; they ex-
pressing great surprise at the want of enter
prise on the part of a county SO abundantly
abe to enter such an exhibition with credit
to her immense resources, IN nearly all things
that interest the people of the whole State.
Yours truly,
M ERsKINE MILLER.

Excitement at Fever Heat-Trouble An
ticipated on Election Day.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 29.-Indiana is Just doubt
full enough to make both sides very desperate
In consequence there is good cause for fearing
that there may be some serious trouble in the
state on election day. Excitement runs high
and spirit of intolerance prevails, back Of
which is the unyielding determination of the
campaign managers for both parties TO win
by any possible means. In everything they
are extreme, desperate, reckless. Prejudice is
appealed to, and passion is excited by accusa-
tions against each calculated to arouse indigna-
tion. Just now and for several days the party
organs in this city are and have been filed with
bold charges of fraudulent schemes, which
are made alarming by means Of ''scare" head
lines and very liberal use of leads and excla-
nation points. II both are to be believed there
is no kind of scoundrelism or criminal work that
will not be attempted. For the purpose of
preventing the execution of the schemes moves
and countermoves are being made. The
democrats are, it is understood, quietly pre-
pairing to spread out over the state force of
about fifteen hundred deputy United States
marshals. The number is probably an exaggera-
ton, as there are many Indiana counties SO
Overwhelmingly democratic that the party is
well able to take care of itself without the aid
OF marshals. However, il is impossible to con-
vince republicans that there will not be fifteen
hundred or more of the worst bummers in
Hoosierdom sworn in for police duty at the polls
on election day, and they are preparing to offset
the move by having deputysheriffs appointed for
the same purpose in republican counties. In
this city there appears to be impending danger.
The local campaign managers have determined
TO hold rival demonstrations on the Saturday
night preceding the election. II they carry
out their purpose a crash seems inevitable.
The mayor foresees trouble. He believes that
there is danger of bloodshed and that possibly
many liveswll be lost. With this conviction he is
doing everything that he can to bring about
compromise by which the demonstrations of
both parties for that night will be abandoned, or
at least one of them will yield, but both stub
bornly refused to do anything of the kind. The
mayor is determined that the people of the
city shall not be exposed to such danger, and
will ask the police-he has not power to COM
mand them-to prevent the demonstrations
Unless the politicians think better of the mat
ter it is not improbable that they will resist po-
lice interference, and, in either case, it seems
now that there is danger of a very exciting
campaign, terminating in deplorable way.

Making Money for Uncle Sam.

THE ANNUAL REPORT OF CHIEF GRAvEs-CIvIL
SERVICE RULES IN HIS BUREAU.
The annual report of Mr.. Edward o. Graves
chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
which has been submitted to Secretary Fair
child, says that the production Of securities by
the bureau during the past fiscal year exceeded
that of any preceding year in the history
of the bureau, 38,040, ,94S sheets being
printed, or 5,388,777 more than in 1887
The estimates for the next year are placed at
the same figure as the current appropriation,
S974,450.83. comparison of the work done
during the three years ending June 80, 1885, with
the succeeding three years, Mr.. Graves says,
shows an increase in production of 5,694, 1856
sheets IN securities, and decrease in cost of
S540, ,SO2. MIR. Graves says that these results
have been accomplished, not by any parsimony
in the management of the bureau, but by the
adoption of simpler methods of doing business,
the discharge of superfuous employees, the
abolition OF unnecessary places, and the exac-
ton OF greater diligence in the discharge of
duty, and OF higher standard of qualification.
The steam-power plate-printing presses the
report says, have continued in successful oper-
alton during the year. The quality of their
work has steadily improved, and it can now be
said without qualification that all of it is equal
to that done on the hand presses The cost of
the printing done by them is less than $50, 900.
To print the same work by hand would cost
SlSO,O0O or 800, 900 year more.

THE TUNNEL COURT.
Delay in the Military Investigation of
the Aqueduct Frauds.

At 1890 o'clock this morning the officers of
the aqueduct court of inquiry came into the
courtroom at the War Department clad in
their full uniforms and without any signs of
their Saturday tramp through the tunnel
Recorder Davis then opened the fourth days
work by reading the minutes of Fridays and
Saturdays proceedings The only person pres
ent beside the court and the stenographers and
reporters was Mr.. Perry, the legal representa-
tive Of Contractors Beckwith and Ouacken-
bush. The reading Of the minutes was rapidly
done.
They showed that after The SrAR's report Of
the trip through the tunnel Saturday closed
(the reporter leaving the court at the Rock
Creek shaft the investigation party proceeded
to the extreme western end of the tunnel and
returning, ascended to the surface of the earth
at the Foundry branch shaft
The reading over, General Ruger inquired if
the copies Of the contracts and specifications
had yet been received from the Chief of En-
gineers bearing on the subject of the tunnel ex-
tension. A request was made on Friday for
they had not yet been received, and went in
search Of them.
The recorder returned in a few minutes with
out the papers. He said that the courts letter
OF Friday had reached the Office of the Chief of
Engineers, where the contracts and specifica-
tions are now being copied.
Inc court, ON receiving this announcement,
retlred TO the rear room for a couple Of
minutes, after which they reappeared and
announced their decision to adjourn until to-
the delay in the preparation of the papers.
Inc reading OF the contracts will be the next
logical step in the investigation, and the court
cannot, or will not, proceed another step until
these papers are read.
II rs now thought that the inquiry win be q
matter OF several Weeka The red-{ane vhich
