In discussing the apportionment Of the ZOO
logical garden expenses some Senators and
Representatives confused the garden with the
Rock Greek park project. It was the latter
which was asked by the people Of the city, and
not the scientific adjunct to the Smithsonian
Institutionfor which officers of the latter made
application. In addition to its stuffed animals
the government had on the grounds OF the
Smithsonian Institution q collection of living
animals, and wishing other accommo-
dations for the Latter exhibit it has
secured ground for this purpose
outside of the city limits, retaining title in
itself and control in the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. 1t EFFORTS from the District one-haff of
the cost Of this Extension of the National
Museum real estate and one-half the cost Of
these additions to the geological exhibit of the
Smithsonian Institution. Why should the Dis
trict pay one-half the expense of the govern
ments living specimens, and nothing in the
matter Of its stuffed specimens? Why should
not the District pay one-half the cost of the
proposed additional building for the National
Museum, if it can properly be required to pay
one-hah the cost Of other real estate acquired
by the government for the benefit of the Smith
sonisn Institution and for the advancement of
seieneef

The women CT America have raised $1,000
for statue of Washington to be presented in
their name to the republic of France, and they
mean by next winter to raise the sum necessary
to complete the statue. This will be graceful
action reciprocating favors of like nature
from gallant France, our old ally. In ma
terial value the La Fayette statue, and the
statue of Liberty in New York harbor far out
weigh this tribute OF our patriotic women. but
happily for mankind good deeds are not valued
by avoirdupois or troy or any other physical
standard

Senate and House committees on appropriations

however, only against the common burglar and

The periodical attack and defense Of the
merit system were made in the House yester-
day. Each party proved how poor civil
service reformer its opponent is when in
power, notwithstanding pledges and the wishes
of the people. Mr.. Lodge struck the keynote
Of popular sentiment on the subject when he
said:
1.-THE President Of the United States in his
message, asked increased appropriations for
the purpose OF carrying out the civil service
law. The gentleman who has stood twice at
the head of the democratic ticket as their can
didate for the Presidency said IN speech IN
Boston not three months ago that in his judg-
ment the civil service Law was all that stood
between the civil service of the government
and political degradation. Those are the opin-
ions Of the two leaders of the two great parties.
The platforms of those parties are before you.
The fair and honest thing to do is not to stand
here and bicker as to who has lived nearest to
TIE Law, but to try and make that law better If
possible, to try and put these offices on some
better footing, upon something more American
than a system Of back-stairs influence and po-
htical intrigue"
Both parties are solemnly pledged to uphold
the merit system and to extend the benefits
which it confers upon the government, the
public service and the people. The spoilsmen
can accomplish the overthrow Of the system
only BY indirection, and in this case they seek
to do SO by cutting off supplies from the in
strument through which this system is applied.
References to the recent investigation Of the
commission in this connection disclose very
plainly that this inquiry, instead of being de-
signed, as pretended to correct the errors of
individual officers and to improve the reform
system, was intended by the accusers to throw
discredit upon the system and to break it down,
if possible. In view of this purpose, now
clearly exposed, it is a matter of qualification
to the District, which is deeply interested in
the maintenance Of the merit system. that the
collapsed investigation was so pitiful and COM
plete failure, SO far as the infection Of any
damage upon the merit system is concerned.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE.
The Red Skins Think Their Mes
siah Has Come.

The Indian trouble in Lander
county, are due, it is claimed to
the idea now prevalent among the
Indians, that their Messiah has
come.
Gen. Miles was recently inter-
viewed at st. Paul, and says that
the trouble is due to a religious
craze existing among the Indian
tribes.
"I have been in the Utah, Mon
tana and Cheyenne Reservation,
investigating this craze. You no
doubt have heard that the Indian
tribes are reported to believe
that the Messiah is coming, who
is to restore them to their former
glory, bring back the buffalo and
drive away the whites from the
land. I have learned this belief
exists among the various tribes
of the Sioux, Cheyennes, Black
feet, Shoshones and other tribes.
In all, the craze extended to six
teen tribes, the Snake Indians be-
ing the only ones to repudiate it..
"Thereis no doubt, many Indians
holding this belief in the Indian
Messiah are sincere, and few have
certainly seen some person whom
they took to be that Messiah.
Several small parties of Indians
have gone westward from their
tribes to some point which, as
near as I can locate. is In Nevada.
There they have been shown
somebody disguised as the Mes
siah and have spoken with him.
I am inclined to believe there
are more than one person imper-
sonating this Messiah, for when
the Sioux have spoken with him
he replied In the Sioux language
and to the Blackfeet he has spok-
en- In their tongue and so on with
the representatives of each nation
or tribe, speaking their own Ian
guage to each"
General Miles thinks that the
Mormons are the prime movers
In the scheme.
The man who Is personating
the Messiah, goes about with his
face muff1ed and is believed to be
smoth white man.

was no tariff upon tin plate. I
made the first experiments in
Pittsburgh. I bought a couple
Of tons ofiron, and, althoughit was
scaled we made it up in very
fair tin plate. The goods sold
readily and set about organizing
a stock company. The town Of
Wellsville offered US the best
terms, and we located there. I
sold trial order of three hundred
boxes to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, and the manager
assured me that Ii the goods were
satisfactory they would give us all
their orders. They found the tin
plate equal to the English, and we
sold them other consignments at

asked the company why they had
stopped buying tin plate Of them
