Bills of all sorts and sizes are be-
fore Congress and to come before it,
reducing the number of the clerks in
the several departments and curtail-
ing their present perquisites. Already
has there been a favorable report on
the bill that cuts out 90 clerks from
the pensions Office force and reduces
the clerical hire of that department
by more than 100000 annually. Now
it is proposed that the 80 days sick
leave that is the right of every clerk
be discontinued. AS each department
employe is given 80 days vacation in
the year it is argued that this is ra-
| tionally sufficient, without adding an
other 80 days for sick leave. This al
so is favOra.bly considered in commit
tee. If it passes it adds one-twelfth
to the availability of the present
clerical force of the departments
and would admit of the dismissal of
s 1-3 percent of all the force without
in any way impairing the efficiency of
the service. Retrenchment will find
good fat food around the Washington
departments for a fact.

1t is reported that strong British
force has embarked for Massowa,
thence to be pushed forward to Kas-
sala and eventually to Khartoum.
This is denied in British army cir
cles, but taken in connection with the
fact that the Cameron Highlanders at
Gibraltar are ordered in readiness to
embark ALSO that Germany has agreed
to keep hands off the movements
in Egypt, also that it is by British and
Indian troops and not by the Egyp-
tan contingent that Great Britain
wishes to occupy Khartoum and the
whole upper Egypt country, and there
may be truth in the report despite de-
NAL on the part of the British Office.
Great Britain is certainly intending
to march in force against the Khali-
ia and occupy his territory as soon as
practicable, and it is just as certain
that the hold once taken on that ter
ritory it will not be readily relinquish-
ed.

MARKET HOUSE NEED.

There always will be two parties to
every question of a public character
that is before the people for solution,
and it is well that it should be so.
By this means both sides of all ques-
tons are likely to find
presentation and the people can
judge between them, as to
their merits. Even so plain and
palpable a necessity as that of gen.
eral market house for this city, finds
opposition in certain quarters, more
probably from the force of habit than
from any other consideration. There
are people who are born on the Of
side of things and Away see things
from that side; in fact they cannot do
otherwise, for that is the side native
to them. 1t would seem that a morn
ing or evening visit to Military plaza,
particularly in muddy weather, and
on days when the norther is loafing
around for the shorn lamb, would be
enough to convince the most skepti-
cal that some central market house
where the market gardeners of the
city and its suburbs could display
their products, untouched by the
chills of winter and unwithered by
the great heats of summer, is nee
essary. Then with provisions for
these what more natural than that
those who provide the meat
and poultry supplies of the
people should set up their
stalls in such a place, for the
more perfect accommodation of the
housewives and boarding house keep
ers, and hotel stewards. The idea
that such a house for the general Of
fering of whatever is eaten in the
way of fish, flesh and fowl and all
that is grown in the gardens of our
truck farmers, is out of date and is
an Indication of old fogyism, had bet
ter be let out to browse on the cactus.
1t is true that a city may. grow so
large that one central market house
will not supply its wants, just as one
central depot in town does not sup
ply the railway wants of city after
it has reached certain proportions,
but that would be a poor argument
against a central railroad depot, and
would not be seriouslyconsidered by
those having such a project under
The obvious remedy
for this condition, that of the city
that has outgrown it's central market,
is to build subsidiary market houses,
them over the city as the
need of them increases making all
subject to the central market as the
source of their authority and sup
plies in great measure. This subject
of a market for this city has been
often considered, and as often sup
ported strongly by many of the citi-
zens, although as yet it has not ma
terialized. Its erection is, however,
only a matter of time, and its advO-
Gates will continue their efforts in its
behalf until they are successful.
