The year 1898 was, as aforesaid, indeed
a time Of terror. The Indians. victorious
over Harmer and st. Clair, threatened
tho whole western frontier. Citizen Go
net had been in the country just long
enough not to be found out and to set tho
partisans Of France wild with enthusi-
asm. In August came the yellow fever.
In two months o~ne-eighth Of the popula-
ton of Philadelphia had died, and yer
half the others had fed to the mountains.
Alexander Hamilton was prostrated by
it, but recovered, and all the cabinet la
dies fed. Mrs. Washington and family
went to Mount Vernon, and on Sept. D
the president followed.
1t is little wonder, therefore, that the
slow moving journalists OF those days
gave but scanty accounts of the impor-
tant ceremonies Of Sept. 10. The Column
bian Mirror of Alexandria, Va, of the
25th and the Maryland Gazette Of An

counts. According to these the process

FIRST FEDERAL CAPITOL AT PHILADELPHIA.
has not its equal. The hall of the Ger
man reichstag and that Of the French as
sembly are fine in their way, but lacking
in convenience, and as to the parliament
houses of Great Britain they are not in it
for comparison.
1t is therefore most appropriate that in
this era of centennial celebrations the
country should celebrate the beginning
Of our capitol, and ample arrangements
are already made for a great display at
Washington on the 18th of September.
1t was on that day in 1893, according to
contemporary writers and the files Of q
few newspapers, that George Washing
ton, as grand master of Virginia lodge,
No. 90, of Free and Accepted Masons, did
the formal act, and as president Of the
United States gave his official sanction
at the placing of the southeast corner
stone of the original structure.
On reading the original accounts the
one fact that impresses the student of
history Is that the accounts were so
tmeager and so long delayed. But when
one reads the full history Of that time
he is inclined rather to wonder that there
was any account, or indeed any cere-
mony at all. A strange, sad hummer
indeed was that of 1893. All Europe
was rocking in the throes of revolution
and war. France, ally in the Revo-
luton, loved at that time by the Ameri-
can people with a love surprising t>at
Of ardent woman, had risen against her

action from despotism. Monarchical Eu-
rope was in arms against France. Ire
land was boiling with the tempestuous
fury Of national, racial and religious
disturbance. This new nation Was torn
and distracted by the contending SYM
pathizers with the two parties in Eu-
rope. And in the very hottest hour of
this heated time the yellow fever sud
denly broke out at the seat Of govern
ment and almost depopulated the city
after threatening to turn it into one
vast charnel house.
The continental congress, as every
American schoolboy knows, convened at
Philadelphia and there drafted the great
charter Of our liberties, but being driven
away by the British had held its sittings
at other places. The convention which
framed the constitution had sat at Phil
adelphia in 1857, but named New York
a the first seat Of government. The
sentimental argument in favor Of Phil.
adelphia was, however, overwhelming,
and the story Of how this national son.
timent was overcome and another place
selected 10 oneof the most curious in on,
history. There had been an uprising
of Pennsylvania troops and a threaten.
ing of congress during the Revolution.
and there had been riots in New York,
It was therefore decided that the new
republic should reverse the p%recedents
of the old monarchies and that it's cap
ital should not be in q great commercial
city.
At least a dozen cities and towns put
in their claims, and congress waveret
for nearly two years between sites OF
the Delaware, the Potomac and the Sus
quehanna. At length the last named
was virtually agreed upon. But Alex
ander Hamilton was eager to secure thu
passage Of his bill for assigning stat,

gress made during the year in the inn

The improvements so Ear have been of
the most substantial character, and con-
sist In the laying OF concrete walks, the
construction OF roads, erection of gateways
with massive white limestone columns,
masonry stairways up the mountain side,
parapet walls and general landscape work.
The work will be continued on plans
already approved by the department and
will include the erection of fountains and
the carrying out of very elaborate scheme
of landscape gardening so that when com
pleted the park will be one Of the finest in
the country and will compare favorably

ators Talk.
WAsHrSGTor, Sep. 14.--1f only ten per
cent. OF the leading bills introduced into
Congress became enacted into laws, the re-
suits would be somewhat startling. Yes
terday was not an especially good day for
bills in the House, yet il one tenth of those
presented has been adopted, these would
have been among the consequences:
A pension to every Union soldier who
was confined in Confederate prison and
bonus OF 81 o day for every day he was
imprisoned.
The abolition Of the tobacco tax.
Promotion OF all navy medical directors
to the rank and pay of commodores.
Payment of certain obligations Of the
Government in silver.
Civil pension to letter carriers after 20
years service.
Reduction of barley duty from 30 cents
to 10 cents bushel, of malt duty to 20
cents, and Of hop duty to . cents per
pound.
Abolition of Bureau of Navigation.
Coal on the free list.
Repeal of the ocean mail subsidy law.
Authorization to the government to buy
out any patent by paying from $25, 900 to
$lO0, 900 to the patentee.
And.appropriations of between 50, o00,-
600 and 100000 for public buildings,
docks and statues; and of $S, ,00J, 900 more
in settlement of Indian claims.
The bill reported in the House by Mr..
Richardson yesterday in regard to the
printing and distribution of public docu-
ments is the same as that reported by the
Committee OH Printing of the last House,
and is substantially the same bill which
passed the Senate in the 52d Congress.
The bill was not passed in the SD Con-
0ress, owing to differences-in matters of
detail ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the two Houses
The joint committee found that there was
just complaint at the large amount of print
ing done, and at the manner of the distri-
button of documents. In one instance the
committee discovered that forty copies of
a very valuable document were sent by
forty persons to one man. 1t found the
laws which govern the public printing and
binding of documents and their distribu-
tion in condition OF chaos, and the COM
mittee believes that the pending bill will
bring order out Of that chaos.
The bill provides that it shall be op-
tional with member whether he will or
will not receive one copy Of every public
publication.
1t is estimated that one-thrd of these
publications will be called for IL the pres
ent law (which requires the superintendent
of the document room to send out the pub
lications) is modified in this particular.
The measure also limits the right Of the
executive departments to order printing to
be done without restriction.
