THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING Or
F1cF.-President Cleveland yesterday
signed an order prepared by the civil
service commission, whereby about
$500 positions in the Government
Printing Office are put within the clas-
SIZED civil service. The positions in.
cluded are all those in the Office, with
the possible exception of about. 100,
which embrace chsrwomen, coal heav.
ers and others. The new regulations
require at least four years apprentice
ship and one year as journeyman of
all new appointees.
The difference between the book
binders union and the foreman of the
bindery division of the Government
Printing Office, Mr.. 81. c. Espey,
which was announced yesterday, has
not been brought to definite settle
ment. The matter now rests in such
shape. however, that lookup will
probably be avoided. In reference to
the matter Mr.. Benedict, the public
printer, says: 81 have no idea that
the union will go to such length as to
strike, but, if they did, it would not
even impair the efficiency of this Office,
for should continue the work even if
had to put in machines to do it.

The EDMUNDs' law was passed to
suppress polygamy among the Mormons
in the city of Salt Lake More arrests
have been made under it, however, in
the national capital than in the whole
State of Utah. Human nature is not
divided by hills and rivers; it is the
same on the Atlantic coast as it is in
the Wahsatche mountains, and in both
regions men will live with women to
whom they are not legally married.
Why, of all those in the whole country
who do SO, those of Utah and the city
of Washington should be specially
selected for public exposure and pun
ishment, is what is only known to the
police officials thereof.

The Southern Railway.

NEW YORK, June 14.-The coming
alliance between the Southern Railway
and Atlantic Coast Line is not in the
nature of a consolidation, but merely a
traffic arrangement. 1t will enable the
Southern company to use the port of
Norfolk for export and connections by
steamship to north Atlantic seaboard
points. There was report in circula-
yesterday that the Southern Railway
would absorb the Louisville & Nash
vile system. The friendly relations
between the dominant men in the two
properties is probably the ground for
the story.

Indians Defy the Police.

Sioux CITY, Iowa., June 14.-On
Wednesday over 100 of the Winnebago
Indians came over from the reservation
near Fender, Neb., to sell gooseberries.
On the proceeds of the sale the whole
outfit became very drunk and have
become such a nuisance that warrants
were issued to-day for the arrest of the
whole tribe, but the Indians refuse to
be arrested or leave the city. The po-
lice are afraid to tackle the whole
crowd and 80 they are permitted to en-
ioy their drunk in peace.

PROFESSIONAL REFoRMERs never
have much influence with people who
possess good sense, and they often exhib-
tia sad lack of that quality among their
own possessions. Such, for instance, is
the case with one of the two Washing
ton newspapers that have specially Sc
lected one of the race tracks in Alexan-
dria county for their condemnation.
The fact that while it denounces the
track that does not advertise in it, as
an "outlaw" track, it says nothing
about the one that does advertise in it.
though it also is an ''outlaw" track,
more than offsets all its utterings
against the former.

WAsHINGToN's HOME AT Mt. YER
NoN.-The southern Presidents of the
United States have nearly all been men
of pronounced taste for the country, for
q home life aud for lavish entertain.
ments; and they left for posterity to
cherish such homes as Monticello and
the Hermitage. But more famed than
any home in America is Washington's,
at Mount Vernon. This estate was
named by Lawrence Washington 10
honor of Admiral Vernon, under whom
and General Wentworth he served as
captain in the unfortunate Cartagena
expedition. George Washington con-
sderably enlarged the house, and the
estate surrounding it consisted of sew
eral thousand acres at the time of his
death. He bequeathed the estate to
Judge Busbrod Washington, the son of
his younger brother, John Augustine
Washington, and from Bushrod it de-
scended in tuIn to his son, John
Augustine.
In 1858 John A. Washington sold the
house and 200 acres of land to the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Association for
100000, which was more then the
whole estate was worth at the time of
Washington's death.
The house is of stately and dignified
exterior, and stands on high bluff
overlooking the Potomac, and not fif-
teen miles from the city of Washington.
The place is exquisitely kept, and con-
iains many interesting relics of the
greatest President. Probably from
1853 until now q greater number of
American people have visited the spot
than any other place of historic interest
in the country. The tomb is simple.
The memorial stone placed in 1916
on the site of the birthplace of Wash
ington by G. W. Parke Curtis is, on
the contrary, scarcely visited at all
The association with the name of
Washington cluster all about Mount
Vernon, and not about "Washington's
parish on Pope's Creek" or Westmore-
land, as it is now called.-Richmond
State.

Commonwealth vs.. Charles W. Perry
came up for trial in the Hastings Court

Wallace presiding. The case is quite a

crowd to the court house, a number of
lawyers being among the spectators. 1t
is felony case, the charge being seduc-
ton, and the prosecutri1 is Miss Ro-
berta M. Switzer. 1t is charged that
Perry and Miss Switzer went to Wash.
ington some time last year for the
avowed purpose of getting married. A
marriage license was secured there, but
it was not used, and no ceremony took
place. Upon the return of the couple
here they lived together as man and
wife until recently, when after mis-.
understanding Miss Switzer left the
home of Perry. A number of witnesses
have been summoned, and the case will
probably last several days.-Fredericks.

a STATE GEoLoGIsr.

The BULLETIN is in favor of any
measure TO advance the mining in
terests of Idaho as well ms her agri
cultural and fruit interests, and il
seems to us the time is ripe for a
State Geologist in Idaho. With
very few exceptions all the other
States have such men whose duties
consist Of an examination into all
mineral matter and an annual re.
port on the subject. Such volumes
find their way into the technical IL
brary Of engineers and mining men
all over the world and are quoted
by them in their writings, and also
by all the scientific journals. All
other countries and States have
found that the only way to devel-
ope their interests is to get them
known, and the best way TO do that
is by printers ink-and the matter
for the ink should be prepared by
a specialist. The weight of the ar
ticle is felt according TO the worth
of the specialist. Many may not
be able to see the benefit to be de-
rived to the whole country, but
Mount'n Home represents the condi-
ton of the Stasr. We have farming
interests - maintain the town, but
to infuse vigor into that interest the
camps Of Pine Grove, Rocky Bar
and Atlanta should be in full blast.
Over S35, 100000 have been produc-
ed by the mines of the Rocky Bar
section, and we all know that the
gold veins of that district are con-
tinuous in length and as far as fol-
lowed in depth, that rich shoots of
ore were found on and near the sur
face, the contents extracted and in
many cases frittered away by mis-
management and ignorance. If
proper description of the mineral
veins Of the Bar and Atlanta were
written by trained mining engi-
neer and geologist, of the geology Of
the district, the structure of the
veins, worth of their contents as al
ready yielded and his conclusions
as to the present cessation being
due to causes as aforesaid, while all
physical causes pointed to a contin-
uance of former prosperity under
proper management and develope-
ment, mining men and engineers
ever on the watch for opportunities
for investment would visit that
country and some Of them surely in
vest. Comparatively, nothing is
known of our mines by the outside
world and our mining areas are Wis.
tied only by few stragglers, and
the prevalent opinion is that our
mines now closed down are worked
out and abandoned for natural
fault. Such work could and should
only be done by men of weight and
practical and scientific training.
The BULLETIN suggusts to the Idaho
legislature to abolish the office OF
mine inspector or add to his duties
that Of State Geologist. The ex-
pense of the office Of Geologist and
Mine inspector should be no more
than that Of the present mine in
spector, and would be the means of
enlightening the world as TO Idaho's
opportunities.
