WORLDS GREATEST PRINT SHOP.
Tens of Millions Of Documents Turn
ed Out by Uncle Sam.

The Government Printing Office at
Washington. which has been brought
prominently to notice lately through an
investigation of the award Of contracts
for typesetting machines, Is the largest
establishment of Its kind In the world.
and nowhere can be found such an ex-
tensive department in any printing
office as that devoted to what is known
as job work. The amount Of printing
coming under the head of job work
turned out by this office is one of the
principal items ut the establishment.
Among the larger items Of work per-
formed by the job room may be found
blanks, circulars, cards, letter and note
heads and envelopes, 15,0O0,0OO of the
latter being required each month for
the various Government departments.
The blank" department Of the job
room embraces an infinite variety Of
forms, some being but q few square
inches In size to others containing sew
eral square feet. For this branch over
S35O,000 Is expended each month for
the purchase of raw material. Card
board Is necessarily large and i'm
portant item. the average months run
being 3,000,000 sheets.
Congress, of course, has great need
for the job room, for there the solons
of Capitol Hill find ample facilities for
the printing of the innumerable mailing
franks for seeds and documents and

BEGG4RS IN LNDIi. }
They Are Fast Disappearing. - Only
About 100000 Left.

The beggar nuisance is very com.
mon one in India, and the endravurs

il down have met with only limited
measure OF success. This is no doubt
due to the fact that Indian opinion II

believe that Il wholesome change Is
coming over the public sentiment In
this rs in so many other matters.
There were about five millions of beg.
CARS in the country ut the time of the
last census. and nearly one-flfth of the
number were clasSel as religious men
dlcants. The number, large as il il.
represented Il decrease of about per
cent. from that at the previous census.
and the decline has been attributed In
part to the comparatively heavy NOR.
tality among them during the famine
years. But. says the report. ut is also
partly attributable to the spread OF
education and the consequent weaker
hold which the SO-callcd aScctics have
on the imagination OF the people," it
being much less easy than it WAS form
erly for the members Of the various
begging communities to unloosr the
purse strings of the people.
There Is happily. reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is filtcrng down To the
lower levels. This evil is not confined
to one particular community or re-
ligion. 1t is as rampant among the
Mahomctans as among the Ilindoos
The "Sar Jadid,' an ably conducted

81 would have each Circuit Judge try
cases which were brought to his atten-
tion as having originated in his cir
cut, and would have an appeal court
consisting of the other eight Circuit
judges. who could convene at certain
periods of the year to dispose of ap-
peals. their appeal decree to be re-
viewed only by the Supreme Court of
the United States. That idea has ap-
pealed to Sena tors and Representa-
tives .cOnversant with practical rail
road affairs as most sensible, feasible
and comprehensive plan"
This announcement that Senator FL
kins has called a meeting for Novem-
Der 10 to frame n bill providing for
railroad supervision and regulation by
the government, that he Is convinced
that action by the coming Congress Is
inevitable and that he will assist in
passing bill satisfactory to the Pres
ident Is important and interesting.
Taken In its fullest significance, 1t
means that Mr.. Elkin's committee will
no longer stand In the way of enact
ment Of law that will enforce upon
the railroads the application of uni
form rates to all classes of shippers
and the discOntiuuance of secret re-
bates. 1t is not doubtful that the rail:
way authorities will welcome an
enactment that will enable them to say
to all applicants for special favors that
the law is binding upon them. 1t will
be easier for them to conduct business
on an even basis when they can pOint
to the statute as ferbidding them from
clandestine arrangements. Their atti-
tude In regard to the private car lines,
they discialmlng any responsibility for
the ext0rtiOnte charges made by these
lines, is wholesome sign.
Committee Has Been Hostile.
Rightly or wrongly, the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
has been credited with being the chief
obstacle to the enactment of legislation
to restrict and correct the abuses of
railway management. After the
House Of Representatives had passed
the Esch- Townsend bill at the late
session 1t was carried into that CON-
mlttee and there held up until the
Adjournment Of Congress. A vast
amount Of testimony was takn on the
merits Of the contention between the
people and the transportation coms-
panies,. and when the COMMITTEES sus.
pended its meetings It was the general
impression that 1t was firmly fxed In
Its purpose to defeat any remedial

called by the employees, are of gen.

These "electros" are indexed, numbered

they may be readily found when addi-

electrotypes which are not used in the
period Of four years are thrown out Of
the cases and relegated to the melting
pot. Over 10000 plates are estimated
to be resting in the job vault.
Since the Government Printer moved

erected. the job room has taken on a
businesslike air, improved fonts, with

in all, is the model printing establish
ment. Captain John s. S. Sewell, of
the Engineer Corps, United States
