GOES TO PENITENTIARY
Gust VanHOver Sentenced to Three
Years in Penitentiary for Ex-
tOrtiOn Methods.

(From Thursdays Daily,)
When court convened this morning
Gust VanHover had, evidently, a
change Of heart since yesterday. He
was brought before Judge Smith and
changed his plea of not guilty to
that of guilty on the charge OF ex-
tortion of money. He had the idea
that if he pleaded guilty that he
would get a shorter sentence than if
he stood trial and was convicted.
there being little doubt but what the
case would have gone against him
habit been tried. Judge Smith i'm
posed a sentence of three years in the
state pe%nitentiary, and VanHover
took it in a matter of fact manner.
His case is we'll known in the city.
He attempted to hold up a business
man for the sui of So, 900 under the
threat of-exposing him and a number
of other citizens, who were in league
against his life. That was the sup
position that Van Hover had and
he labored under the hallucination
so long that he really believed it him
self. In the next three years he will
have abundant time to disabuse his
mind OF that strange illusion.
"Wednesday evening the jury in the
Preston-Goodale case reached a YER

He was awarded an attorney fee in
the sum of 5000, less $50, which was
paid him when the case was tried, and
I per cent interest on the balance

1851.

perty at Mt. Vernon. A jury was
secured without much difficulty, and
the case has been in progress during
the day. Mr.. Pease is represented !
by Preston & Hannett, and T. J.
Spangler is attending to Mr.. Moses's
side of the case. |

John J. Mitchell, president of the
mine workers, has shown further that
he has a cool head. He was impor-
tuned to become the candidate of the
labor organizations of the country
for president of the United States.
Mr.. Mitchell declined the candidacy
and added that he could be of more
use to the labor in his present
capacity than by attempting to
gain a seat in the white house. The
success that has come to him in his
position as leader OF the great mine
workers, association has not effected
the head of Mr.. Mitchell.

islation to perfect this law. A bill TO provide
for this passed the Senate the last session. 1t
is to be hoped that some such measure may
be enacted into law.
There is a growing tendency to provide for
the publication of masses of documents for
which there is no public demand, and for the
printing of which there is real necessity.
Large numbers of volumes are turned out by
the government printing presses for which there
is no justification Nothing should be printed
by any of the departments unless il contains
something of permanent value, and the Con-
gress could with advantage cut down very
terially all the printing which il has now be
come customary provide. The excessive cost
Of government printing is strong argument
against the position Of those who are inclined on
abstract grounds TO advocate the governments
doing any work which can with propriety be
left in private hands.
Gratifying progress has been made during the
year in the extension of the merit system OF
making appointments in the government ser

RESTORATION OF WHITE HOUSE.

Through a wise provision of the Congress at
its last session the White House, which had be-
disfgured by incongruous additions and
changes. mas now been restored to what 1t was
planned to be by Washington. In making the
restorations the utmost care has been exercised
to come near possible to the early plans,
and to supplement these plans by a careful
study of such buildings as that of the Uni
Versty of Virginia, which was built by Jeffer-
son. The White House is the property of the
nation, and so far as is compatible with living
therein it should be kept it originally was,
for the same reasons that we keep Mount YER
IL originally was. The stately simplicity
of its architecture is an expression of the char
acter of the period in which it was built, and Is
in accord with the purposes it was designed TO
serve. II is a good thing to preserve such build
ings as historic monuments which keep alive
our sense of continuity with the nations past.
The reports of the several executive depart
ments are submitted TO the Congress with this
conmunica ton.

permitted TO grow up in Washington The city
should be model in every respect for all the
cities of the country. The charitable and cor
Tectional systems of the District should receive
consideration AT the hands of the Congress, 10
the end that they may embody the results OF the
most advanced thought in these fields More
