M'GINTY ON A BICYCLE.

He Takes n Header Into n Carp Pond
Dressed in His Spring Suit of Clothes.
Mr.. Oscar Chamberlain is clerk in the City
Post Office. He is such a whole-souled, genial
fellow, that even the msarial and maladorous
atmosphere of the wretched old rookery doesn't
have any effect on his good nature, and so
Oliver is very popular. He is capital story
teller and one of his latest stories is on him
SELF Oliver halls from the central part of the
Empire State, and whenever any of the BOYS
from his locality strike the National Capital
they invariably look him up, sure that he will
give them good time while they are here. On
Tuesday last three of his old chums struck
town, found Chamberlain, and they started off
to do the sights. They were bicyclsts, and all
of them procured machines. Everything went
merrily, and all the stock sights were soon
seen, their tour ending up at the Monument.
On their return trip and when coming down
the side path in the Agricultural grounds the
Now, there is one little spot in the grounds that
MIR. Chamberlain was not familiar with, and
that is the vne-hdden little lake located in the
extreme northeastern corner Toward this spot
the flying bicyclists made at 2:50 gait. Two of
the visitors on rounding the curve saw their
danger and fell off, but Chamberlain being in
the centre of the two, was unable to dismount,
swerve, or fall over, SO his machine continued
its mad rush and disappeared over the bank
and into the lake, soaring the life out of the
carp that lay in the lazy pool. The water was
rather deep, and it was with some exertion
Chamberlain was drawn out, while it took
nearly an hour to find his machine, which had
gone to the bottom and stuck in the mud.
Oliver's plight was a sorry one, for he had on
his new spring suit, and in order to get home
had to brbe Tom Ray, of the Agricultural De-
partment, to cart him in the mail wagon. The
trouble did not end here, as the Agricultural
Department is now after him for causing the
death of some of the most valuable carp In the
pond.

An intimation reached the Capitol from the
White House last week that the President might
soon have something to say officially to Congress
with view to checking extravagant appropria-
tions for public buildings in various parts of the
country. These public buildings are vocifer-
ously demanded by the people of the towns in
which they to be located, but the demands
would speedily cease in a great majority of the
cases if a precedent just established by Congress
were followed, and the towns required to pay
one-half the original cost and one-hslf the cost
of maintenance forever of the Government
buildings asked for by them Why doesn't the
President recommend to Congress that this
course be adopted hereafter? 1t would be en-
tirely in keeping with the action of Congress in
saddling one-half the expense of the National
biological Park on the people of the District of
Columbia

Secretary of Agriculture RUsK, after pre-
sumably profound and exhaustive study of the
depression existing in that great branch of in
dustry with which his Department has specially
to do, has addressed to the farmers of the coun-
try a letter containing the conclusions at which
he has arrived, Mr.. RUsK finds that the trou-
bles of the American farmer are due to lack of
diversity in his crops and failure to produce ar
ticles, millions of dollars worth of which are
annually imported from abroad to meet the de-
mands of the American market. The Secretary
points out that If our farmers, instead of SOW
ing their land to wheat corn, potatoes, and like
crops, of which we always produce vast sur
plus, thus forcing down prices at home and
abroad, would devote themselves to the culti-
vation of the articles which we import in great
quantities. they might be happy yet. Ofcourse,
high protective tariff on the foreign articles
is an essential feature of Mr.. RUsK's proposed
measure for the relief of our agricultural de-
preston. AT present, he says, we import an
nually two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of products which might, with enterprise
on the part of our farmers and proper protec-
tion by tariff, be produced in this coun-
try. The figures on which Mr.. RUsK
bases his arguments are taken from
an article written by Mr.. PORTER, now Super
intendent of the Census a few years ago. An
examination shows that tropical fruits, spices,
and woods Havana and Sumatra tobacco, and
Norman and Percheron horses are among the
articles whose cost went to make up the two
hundred and fifty millions. Now, If the Yer
mont farmer who can no longer proftably grow
wheat or corn in competition with the farmers
of the West would act on Secretary RUsKs
advice and set out banana orchard or a cocoa
nut grove he might still be able to avoid a visi-
tation from the sheriff and keep out of the
poor-house himself. Or let him clear the
powders from his land and plant it in Vueta
Abajo tobacco, additionally diversifying his
industry by breeding Norman horses from his
sway-back Morgan mares In Connecticut,
where the wooden nutmeg can no longer be
proftably cultivated, the farmer might import
a few of the trees from the East Indies and 90
in for raising the genuine article, as well
as cinnamon, cloves, sago, and others of the
spices and peculiar products Of the East and
the tropics. BY all means let Mr.. RUsR's sug-
gestiOns for more diversified agriculture be
acted on, and then, no doubt, with the blessing
of Heaven and high tariff, our farmers may
yet be all millionaires.

A highly amusing and absorbingly interesting
sequel to New York's disastrous fight for the
Worlds Fair is the wordy war between Mr..
ADRIAN s. HEWITT and Mr.. w. Z. D. STOKES,
who was the secretary of the New York COM
mittee on legislation Mr.. HEWITT, in his we'll
known acidulated style, made some very serious
charges against Mr.. STOKES. The latter, who
is obliged to plead guilty to the atrocious crime
of bang young man, unexpectedly "saw''
Mr.. HEwITT's charges, and went him one bet
ter, in style even Mr.. HEWITT might not be
ashamed of. In fact, young Mr.. SToKEs's at
tack was SO unexpected and SO Sullivanesque
that Mr.. HEWITT has not yet sufficiently recov-
cred to frame a reply. If Mr.. HEwITT's an
swer is not forthcoming very soonMr. SToKEs's
friends will be justified in believing that ABRAM
is knocked out for good.

The whole town seems to have turn ed out on
Friday night to congratulate the Columbia
Athl etic Club and help its seven hundred mem
bers celebrate the completion and opening of
their handsome new clubhouse. The demon
str alton was a striking illustration of the pop
ularity and standing Of the club, and may well
have filled the breasts Of its members with
elation. The clubhouse is an ornament to the
city, and all who have been instrumental in
bringing the organization to its present state of
prosperity and usefulness should be thanked,
as we'll as congratulated, by good citizens.
Physical, as well as moral and intellectual cul-
ture, is now universally recognized as an i'm

If a commission is appointed to codify the
laws of the District of Columbia the scope of its
work should be extended so as to include also a
codifcation of the schemes now before the pub
lie in one way another for settling the railroad
problem. These schemes have multiplied so rap
idly of late that they are already quite bewlder-
ing. The worst of it is, they seem no more likely
to speedily settle the question than the tangled
sken of colonial, Maryland, and District laws
on our statute-books do to precipitate the mil
lennium.
