THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING DE-
PARTMENT.

There has been much elimination
and recrimination going on the past
week in the Union Building, or that
portion of it used as Document Room
by the Department of Public Printing.
This catGrfauling is all predicated
upon the supposed fact that The
Globes information concerning Son
in-law Priddy" came from some EN-
ploye Of the Pubic Printer.
The Globe is never in a communi-
cative mood concerning its informants,
but in this case it will go so far as
to state that no employe Of either the
Government Printing Office or the
Document Room in the Union Building
furnished the scoop, and we will go
little further and state that the per-
son who tipped off, the steal was not
a gentleman. Thus far We agree with
the bloviators of the Document Room
who have been calling our informant
or informants "S- of b. S all the past
week. But we must correct any erro-
neous impression they may deduct
from stating that our informant was
mo gentleman" by the additional in
formation that SHE was a LADY!
We are perfectly safe in discovering
the sex Of our informant (and we have
her permission) as neither Mahoney,
Ricketts, Ferrell or Palmer could dis
cover her identity in the short period
they will remain in office.
We have now in preparation the
most astounding and the most damn.
ing OF all oHr revelations touching the
Public Printers Department, and it
remains to be seen il Palmer, Ricketts,,
Mahoney & Co. can plug the leak.
AS to the main building, out in
Swamp Poodle, we have so many in
formants within that pile of brick
that it is positively fatiguing to give
them all a proper hearing or one COM
mensurate with the importance Of the
information with which they keep us
supplied.
In this connection we desire to state,
for Public Printer Palmer's special in
| formation, that if the person referred
to in last Sundays Globe is not re-
moved to some other position, where
he will not come in contact with OF
| boss virtuous women, we shall ad'
dress an open letter to President Nc
Kinley in next Sundays Globe, giving
the details and the name we omitted
on Sunday last
The Sunday Globe is a Democratic
