AGAINST PRIVATE PRINTING.
Books Issued by the Govern aent
Must Not Be Copyrighted.

Washington, May 24-The senate COM
mittee on printing today made report or
its investigation of the compilation ana
publication OF the messages and papers OF
the presidents. The committee ind that
Representative Richardson devoted four
years to compiling and indexing the pa
pers
"It is not to be doubted they say.
that his labors were most assidious and
that they consumed during this period
great amount OF his time
It is also stated that he expended SSbo
of his own funds I'm securing assistance In
tho index. With reference to the claim of
COPYRIGHT, the committee say that MI
Richardson does not claim that 1t oper-
ates against the government. but only as
against all other publishers-that II pro-
tects tho form of the publication, the IL
Illustrations and the original matter.
though none Of tho documents themselves.
on this point the committee express the
opinion that the prohibition in the print
ing was intended TO cover every publiea-
ton authorized by congress in all possible
forms. TO prevent precisely what has hap
pened-the copyrghting of this particular
book. Your committee think that copy
right should not have issued in behalf of
the messages and that the law as II
stands is sufficient to deny copyright to
any and all work once issued as gov
eminent publication. If the services of
an author or compiler employed by the
government require to be compensated
payment should be made in money frank
~ and properly appropriated for that pur-
pose and the resulting book or tho publ
cation IN whole and as to any part should
be always at the free use of the people:
and this without doubt was what con-
gross intended"
The committee say the donation OF the
plates Of tho work TO Mr.. Richardson was
"A mistake and placed congress in false
position.

no additional legislation is necessary, but
it recommends that I'm the future congress

AGE CUTS NO FIGURE IN CLAIMS
Secretary Hitchcock Makes Ruling
in Pension Matters.

Washington. May 26.-Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock today rendered a deci-
sion which will be of interest to a class
of pension claimants. The question arose
under the statute giving a pension 20
children under sixteen years of age at
the date of the disabled soldier-father's
death, and under the statute limiting the
time for filing claims for pensions. The
secretary holds that section 4702 of the
revised statutes granting a pension to
minor children, does not require that the
application therefore be made before thu,
child attainS the age of sixteen years,
and that the act of March 3. 1879, limiting
the time of filing claims for pension Is
not applicable to claimants who were
under sixteen years of age in July l.

Editor Constituton-The trust prices as
given out On baEging and ties for the com
ing cotton season approximate about 40 per cent
higher than those Of last year. II is customary
for merchants 10 contract in May and J1ne
for the probable amount Of tagging and ties
that they viii during the season This
gives the trust an excellent basis upon which
to figure and base their calculations as to
the OUTPUT.
If the merchants would. with any degree Of
unanimity, refuse to place their contracts
early. it would put manufacturers in the at
titude of being very anxious To sell and would
cause them TO more readily make concessions
In price than If the usual custom Is followed
by contracting in advance Of their wants for
their supplies.
If the general publication of conditions could
be had. we don't doubt but what there would
be extensive holding back on the part OF
the merchants of the south in placing their

abilities that reduced prices would be
