Mr. Thomas OFT, of Halltown, w.

Va, who were working on Mr.. Strait
mans house on New York Hill, had
an ugly fall on Monday afternoon.
They were working on a scaffold, up
near the caves of the roof, when the
scaffold gave way and they were
thrown to the ground from height
of twenty-five feet, falling upon pile
of lumber. Mr.. OFT had his back bad
ly sprained and Mr.. Utz also sprained
his ankle, and gave his back a severe
wrench DR.. A. G. HORNE was SUM
moned and rendered medical aid.
Both are middle aged men and Their
recovery will be slow Mr. OFT was
taken to his home on Monday evening
but Mr.. Utz was too i'll to be removed
until Tuesday, when he too was taken
to his home. 1t seems as if they had
only put one nail in the scaffold block
and had forgotten to put in the others

Preparations about the Capitol for the

The furniture has been repaired and var

needed, and everything Is in readiness for
Congress to reassemble and get to work.
There are at present a great many members
in town or close enough to be here in a

home to their districts are coming in very
slowly.
There were yesterday about one hundred
and fifty Repressn tatives in the city. most

TO STOP THE SPORT,
TOmOrrOw's Game Between the Army
and Navy May BE the Last.

TOmOrr0w's Game Between the Army
and Navy May he the Last.
1t is among the probabilities that tomor-
rows foot ball game at Annapolis between
the cadets Of the Military and Naval Acade-
mics will be the last of its kind, as it is
understood that the Secretary of War thinks
the practice is detrimental to the interests
of the service. The rough character of the
sport will be responsible for its suppression
at the two academies. The point Is made
that the interest In the game subordinates
the interest in the studies and that those
who participate In 1t are liable to injuries
that may permanently disable them for the
service for which they are being educated.
1t Is alleged that Col. Ernst, superintendent
OF the Military Academy, has reported
against continuance OF foot ball playing
and that the department Is disposed to act
accordingly.
The fact that tomorrow's game will be the
last OF the season, does away with the
necessity for action in the matter of future
games until next fall. A large crowd of
army and naval officers will leave here to-
morrow for Annapolis to see the game

will not be able to attend, but both depart

expenditures Of the government. would 20
earnestly to work 1t would find no difficulty
In reducing the expenditures of the govern
ment so that the present rate of internal
revenue and proposed reduction of tariff
taxation would furnish ample means to
support the government and meet the re-
Qulrements OF the sinking fund. We cannot
with honor abandon the sinking fund. 1t was
not intended as a guarantee to the holders
or public securities, but a solemn engage
ment OF Congress to the people that the
public debt should not be permanent, but
should be extinguished on the reasonable
basis provided by the act of 1862 under
which the debt would be paid off within
reasonable period of time. Exemption from
debt Is one of the guarantees of frugal gov
ernment, and frugal government is the
only guarantee We have of the perpetuation
of our free institutions.
1T is reported in the public prints that
the bounty on sugar Is to be continued for
years and reduced by trifling annual re-
ductions. 1 do not believe the democrats of
the country will consent to this. There has
never yet, in the whole history of the dem
ocratic party, been a time when that party
was not at war with bounties and subsi-
dies Those modes Of promoting special
interests and industries and private enter
prises are in sharper antagonism with the
democratic principles than any other ideas
of government that can be expressed. The
equal rights Of men and their equal pro-
lection by government are opening up to
all alike.
Against Subsidies and Bounties.
$50 far as government is concerned equal
opportunities in the struggle Of life are
principles. and the democratic
masses Of this country will not submit to
subsidies and bounties to create or enlarge
the wealth of favored citizens at the ex-
pense Of the industries Of the whole people.
1 sincerely hope that the committee on
ways and means will not misapprehend the
spirit Of the democratic party in regard to
subsidies and bounties. My belief Is that q
reduction of tariff taxation to a revenue
basis is not only demanded by the great
majority of our people. but absolutely re-
quired and necessary to enforce upon Con-
gress q reduction Of public expenditures.
The measure Of our expenditures will de-
pend upon our revenues. / wish to see the
revenues sharply reduced and 1 believe the
democratic Congress will meet this emer-
gsncy, not by bonds or increased taxation,
but by q reduction Of the expenditures of
the government. A reduction Of these ex-
penditures. instead Of weakening the gov
ernment. will give 1t strength by purifying
the administration and its affairs. In the
orty-fourth Congress the current expenses
of the government were reduced more than
$64. 100000. No public interest suffered; on
the contrary, 1t strengthened and pur1ned
all the departments Of government. striking
down mercenary motives"
