duced in the House.


WASHINGTON, D: C.-If tho forty six

l'shed in this country, and what the

be inau9uratsd:
All of those bills were drawn by James
S. Cowdon. of Virginia, and arc social
i'tic in their character, and provide for
tho Government control of pretty much
everything that can be controlled, and
some things that cannot be. Thirty seven
departments, each to he presided over
by secretary, are provided for. The
author does not overlook the establish
mcnt of secretary OF fluids, forces,
fairs, lectures, amusemcnts, etc. The
comfort Of the geveral public is to be
provided for by department Of public
health, their cleanliness enforced by a
department of public baths, and their
clothing washed through the medium OF
department of public laundries. Mr.
Cowan does not appear to have forgotten
anything in his pantocratic plan for re-
modelling the Government. and by means
of general legislation he regulates the
limit of wages and labor, establishes Q
new system of taxation, creates q civil
and crimioal code commission, regulates
marriage and divorce, provides for pub
lie improvements in Washington that
