I MR. R. V. LADow, an Agent of the
 Department of Justice, arrived ir
 Yuma on the 18th inst. for the purpose
 of examining the account of the Ter
 ritorial Prison against the United
 States for the maintenance by that Institution of Indian prisoners, sen-
 fenced by Territorial Courts.
 1 This claim amounting to S34,I15.OO
 extends over the period from April
 1885 to August 23rd, 1894, inclusive
 and although the Act of Congress an
 der which payment has been demand
 ed has been in effect for some time,
 no steps for collecting the amount
 wore taken until about one year ago
 when Superintendent Gates prepared
 the account and presented same for payment.
 Since that time, the claim has been
 under consideration by the Depart
 ment and the occasion of Mir. aDow's
 visit, was the desire of the Attorney
 General for an expert examination of Ill its particulars,
 The gentleman was received by Superintendent Gates who extended him the liberties of the institution, affording him every facility for con- plete inspection of all its,departments. Mir. LaDow expressed himself as greatly pleased and grati6ed by the result of his observations and strong, ly commended the discipline, cleanli- ness and management of the Prison. By his quick perception of the many intricaties which the examination of this claim involved, Mir. LaDow proved himself most thoroughly fitted for the task and his actions through out, were those of conscientious and courteous gentleman.
 While the cost to the Territory for maintaining its prisoners, during the period covered by this claim was in excess of $l.0O per capita per diem and In our opinien, a $l.00 rate is moderate and just,it is nevertheless gratifying to learn that the Territory will secure the amount which the Gov ernment proposes to pay, as the neg llgence or inaction hitherto shown, in | attempting to secure compensation for such services, renders payment at this late date considerably in the nature of windfall.
 In connection with the above, we desire to suggest to the Territorial l Legislature, what would seem proper disposition of the amount to be re- ;elved. As steps toward making the Prison partly or wholly selfsustaining, are ill contemplation and as the ac- 'omplishment of that purpose will 'equire an outlay of considerable money, what more appropriate dis position of the sum thus secured 'ould be made, than to apply same to he needs of the institutionY Machi. lery will be needed both for the shops md the prison farm and that much Ibused institution should at least be 4llowed the credit and benefit of it's earnings in this regard
 In order to tighten the burden which the support of the prison now imposes, 1t -will be absolutely neces- ary to supply at least seven or eight housaud dollars for machinery and ther incidentals and the Legislature las the alternative of following the bove suggestion or appropriating the equired amount.

IT would seem to the ordinary citizen that the coterie Democratic warwicks who for so long past have been engaged Tn making a Governor to succeed Hughes, would begin to grow discouraged over re- peated disappointments. It ap- pears that each succeeding effort has had less effect than its pre-. decessor and the calibre of the successor designated in each of their. proclamations has degen- erated in proportion to their efforts in his behalf.
 Governor Hughes has made one of the best records ever made by ar Executive of the Territory as is most forcibly evinced by the re- ductions in Territorial expenses and the savings made by his ap- pointees in Territorial institutions
 That such is the fact cannot suc- cessfully be controverted and Gov ernor Hughes popularity is in creasingin proportion as the at tacks of his traducers grow more malignant. As the taxpayers of the Territory are satisfied and un- complaining, it would appear about time for these calamity howlers to give us a rest. ;.

made among US to secure means OF procur-

very little success. And the Lighting is, II
anything, worse than the ventilation Az

The Judges of the several courts are
unanimously in favor OF a new building,
not so much for lack of rooms or because
the courtroons are djngy and begrimed, as
several of the II are, but for the honor OF the

character of the building is such that the
storage of the records now in it threatens
its security, while the hazard from this
soruce is increasing from year to year.
1.-THE construction OF the building VIII
not safely permit its use as a subsuucture
for an enlargement.
THE extreme need of the municipal
authorities for better official quarters
cannot be reasonably questioned. The
present accommodations are limited, IN
conveniently arranged, insecure, and I'M
healthful The building in which the offices
of the Commits sioners. the collector or taxes,
the assessor, the auditor, and the engineer
department are located, is crowded beyond
the limit of healthfulness or the convenient
transaction of business, and is unsafe, both
with respect to structural character and
inflammability. Its occupants are in
constant danger of personal injury from
it's structural defects and the records ex-
posed to destruction by fire and vermin-
1.-THE records OF the municipal govern
meuts in the District since 1902 are stored
IN this building. These records include all
the original ordinances and proceedings OF
those governments. Many of these records
are Invaluable, historically, and in connec-
tiou with titles to property, and the due
enforcement of the laws.
"Amoug these records are the original
tax aud assessment records, the police,
building, plumbing, and other regulations
made in pursuance of law the grade sheets
aud other records pertaining to the construc-
ton of sewers, streets, and other municipal
works, aud many other current, as well as
permanent, records of inestimable value
aud importance to the proper administration
OF the municipal government, and the pro-
lection of public and private interests.
1.-The proposed site is the most convenient,
accessible aud salubrious, whose selection
is practicable for this purpose, without in-
volviug the purchase of necessary ground.
at is discreditable to the Nation that
the municipal at its Capital is obliged to re-
sort to the use of rented and unsanitary
buildings for office purposes.
There is a sentimental as Well as prac-
tical side to this question. The reputa-
ton of the General Government is at stake.
The government of the District of Column
bia is necessary agency of the General
Government, and inseparably connected
with it for honor or disgrace in this matter.
The founders Of the republic intended that
its capital should in all things be a model
for all other cities"
MR.. YOuNG'S SUGGESTION.
Clerk John r. Young, of the supreme
court of the District, said: I'VE haven't
room here for the proper transaction OF
business, but I do not care particularly
for the erection of new building such as
has been talked OF. II they would remove
the old part of this structure and put in its
place something that would form an ap-
| propriate front for this new part, it would
be all right. This part of the building that
we have is only ten or twelve years old,
| and is satisfactory enough, except for the
| lack of room. Then, OF course, we ought to
| have elevators and other modern conve-
| niences."

inquiry regarding their prese rvatlon in
these waters.
II know of no reason" said he, ito
cause Rle TO believe that there has been any
special falling off in the number Of bass in
the Potomac this year, either from dis
ease or other natural causes, and / think
that this fish which is regarded as the
greatest mUltiplier of the piscatorial tribe
is thriving there"
''In this connection il may be interesting
TO know that the Fish Commission raised
over forty thousand bass from fifteen and
shipped them to various parts OF the coun-
try, indeed, black bass were first intro
duced into the Potomac about thirty
years ago, when several gentlemen at
private expense brought about thirty-five
here from the Ohio River in the tender OF
an engine, and deposited them in the Po-
tomac. The wonderful multiplication and
dissemination Of these fish throughout the
entire Potomac basin has attracted the at
tention of fish commissions throughout the
world. There has been no attempt made
by the government to supply the Potomac
with other bass since their first intro
duction, and their attention has been
given to supplying depleted streams in
other portions of the country, showing
that the mortality among the bass in the
Potomac must be very slight.
FRIENDS OF THE BASS.
'Paradoxical as it may seem the fishing
clubs which have been organized through
out the country are the greatest friends
the fish culturist have, as they preserve the
fish as far as they can in the rivers and
streams by the adoption OF rules and regu-
lations governing fishing. Washington has
great many of these clubs, and they have
done much toward preserving the various
varieties Of fish which inhabit the Potomac
and other nearby streams, and it viii
perhaps interest anglers in this sectioS TO
know that the mortality among the fish
hereabouts is not near as great as in other
sections Of the country"

A dispatch was recently sent out from

the country stating that the mortality
among the fish and spawn at the State
hatchery there had been very great and
most disastrous to that institution. This
remarkable mortality was attributed TO
low water and from the letting of water
from a mflpond into the hatchery creek.

Reports received from The Missouri River
and various lakes throughout the United

IN large numbers. 1t seems that this un-
fortunate condition OF affairs is directly
attributable 10 the presence Of a fungus

summer season particularly mamfests it
self in streSms, and its presence is folio wed

SHADOWS OF GREAT MEN
Senatorial Private Secretaries
and Their Duties.
EASY JOBS WITH BIG PAY
Privileged Class of Mortals Whose
Lines Have Fallen in Soft Places.
Up to Labor-saving Devices and
Enjoy the Good Things of Life.

Next to that of United States Senator,
the softest snap in the gift of the govern
ment is that OF private secretary. This
latter feeder at the public crib is a devel-
opment of modern politics. Ex-senator
Butler, OF South Carolina, is the author of
the private secretary.
Once upon time such men as Webster,
Clay, and Calhoun did their own scribbling
with a goose quill. Toward the end of
the century, however, Senators discovered
that it was so warm in the summer aud so
cold in the winter and so much more
practical TO do work by proxy, that when
Senator Butler offered a resolution pro-
viding the Senators with clerks and private
secretaries, they at once saw good thing,
and, loi the private secretary as an insti-
tuition was born.
1t is proverb down around the Capitol
that il is much better to be a private secre-
tary of the first rank, that is TO be the
clerk of one of the important committees,
than it is TO be member of the lower House
of Congress. This species Of the secretary
genus can hold his office for six years If
he is not boozer and can be deaf or dumb
or bind or all three whenever the exi-
gencies OF his relations TO his principal
demand that he shall be so afflicted.
NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS.
Besides this, he must be well-educated
man, because there is no telling when he
may be required 10 write a speech on any
given subject New Senators usually &C
cept all kinds of invitations to address
| all kinds of things and associations IN
their summer holiday, and while lie may
be good politician be cannot write an
after-dInner speech or a philppic against
the devil at a Sunday school anniver-
| sary, or rhetorical flourish about tue
| higher education for the female seminary
commandments. Hence the value of
private secretary who knows all about
the seminary, the school, the banquet,
and the devil.
A secretary usually has a Cinch on the
office be is appointed to for SIX years.
This is worth to him about $4,000,
while a mere NJ c. gets only $4,000
in two years, and he is by no means sure
that he will not make his constituency
tired of elccting him the very first time.
Secretaries have no money to spend IN
Keeping their political fences in repair;
they spend a good deal of their summers
at their Senators homes, where they get
| their hash and laundry free, and alto
getber are a privileged class. They don't
| spend money They simply burn it. The
secretary and the Senator are Me and
Napoleon, and, as a matter of fact, hun
| dreds of thousands of people believe that
it is always best to sound a secretary
before broaching a subject to any OF the
members of the Great Club. This is
the principle of the intercession of the
| saints.
