ship of 100000 women, filled Pyth-
ian hall today at the opening of the

WoRLD,S 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 at 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, 15,000,0O0 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 a few square
inches in size to others containing sew
eral square feet. For this branch over
$350,000 is expended each month for
the purchase of raw material. Card
board is necessarily large and inn
portant item, the average months run
being 100000 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 innumerahle mailing
franks for seeds and documents and

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

IS wiling to cooperate MitH fFSS-
ident Roosevelt in Passing Salts
factory Measures to Control the
railroads.&c. Outlines His Views.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West
Virginia, in announcing the other day
the call for a meeting in Washington
on NeVmber ID, of the Senae Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, said that
he was convinced that action on rail-
road rate legislation at the coming ses-
/ sion of CognresS was inevitable, and
that he would cooperate in passing a
bflfsatisfactory to the President.
II thing I am justified. said Senator
Elkins, Kin stating that all the Re
publicaIks or majority members of the
committee, have concluded that there
must be railroad legislation this win
ter. The President, 1 understand, is
as emphatic as ever in his judgment
that the railroad rate and private car
line problem must be dealt with de-
cisively. l think there is no doubt
that some sort of bill will be passed.
Quick Work by Committee.
"The committee will not be long in
framing a bill, as I believe the indi-
vidual members have formed definite
opinions on what they desire, and all
that will remain to be done is to agree
on some one plan. This, think, will
not require more than two weeks, so
that when the Senate convenes in De-
cember bill will have been framed
for presentation to the Senate.
''My idea is measure for the ref
erence of all rate disputes, passenger
and freight, to court of interstate
commerce, to be composed of nine
judges-one for each judicial circuit of
the United States-or for such disputes
to be referred to the Circuit court
judges without the creation of a new
court. Congress at all times is op-
posed to the creation of new courts or
commissions, and for that reason the
new court plan would no doubt meet
with serious opposition.
II do not believe that the Inter
state Commerce commission should
be allowed to deal with the question.
| would keep that body intact to dis
charge its duties as at present and
would not give it the additional work
of regulating rates. My idea for the
reference for disputed rate matters to
the Circuit judges meets with general
approval in Washington, and hope to
convert the President to my view.

other routine work. Where the requisi-
lions from ''the hill" as the Capitol is
called by the employees, are of a gen.
eral or routine order, the matter is
electrotyped, so that duplicate order
may be "Struck off, at short notice.
These ''electros" are indexed, numbered
and filed in elaborate file cases, where
they may be readily found when addi-
tional orders are received. Cuts and
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
into the new establishment but recently
erected, the job room has taken on a
businesslike air, improved fonts, with
capacity for tons of the various kinds
of type used, immense galley rack
stands for the reception of matter in
type, slug, lead and furniture racks,
improved cabinets for large type, small
cuts and "iron" lines. all, aid those in
charge of the work i'm the operation of
the largest and best equipped job room
in the country.
Labor Saving Electricity
The Government Printing Office, all
in all, is the model printing establish
ment. Captain John S. S. Sewell, of
the Engineer Corps, United States
Army, was placed in charge of the
work of installation in the new build,
ing. While but young officer of the
army, he is student of the part cleo
tricity is destined to play in the his
tory of labor in the years to come, and
so ably devised full electrical equip
ment of this building. Each press, cut
ting machine, stitcher, and every other
proper mechanical equipment of a
printing Office has it's individual elec-
trio power supply. The furnaces for
the melting pots, too, have their heat
generated by the subtle fluid. The size
of the Government Printing Office may
be realized when it is stated that the
official guides employed in the Office,
in making the rounds with visitors, oc-
cupy nearly three hours in the trip.

obey the existing law and that if the

Such an adjustment will be for the

Electric Railroads in ireland.

The Introduction of light railways
into Ireland has, it is asserted, been
productive of great benefit to thou
sands of farming cottiers, enabling
them to get better prices for their
poultry, eggs and pigs, while being put
to less cost for transport to market.
Possibly, motor-wagons, calling from
farmhouse to farmhouse daily, may be
destined to supersede light lines as
feeders of trunk lines: as there
would be no outlay for permanent
way. working expenses would neces-
sarily be much less.

BEGGARS IN INDIA.
They Are Fast Disappearing.-O
About 100000 Left.

The beggar nuisance is very COM
mon one in India, and the endeavors
of the police in the large cities to put
it down have met with only limited
measure of success. This is no doubt
due to the fact that Indian opinion Is
remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beg
CARS, especially if they wear the guise
of religion. But there is reason to
believe that q wholesome change is
coming over the public sentiment in
this as in so many other matters.
There were about five millions of beg
garS in the country at the time of the
last census, and nearly one-fifth of the
number were claSSed as religious men
dicants. The number, large as it is,
represented a decrease of about Z per
cent. from that at the previous census,
and the decline has been attributed in
part to the comparatively heavy NOR
tally among them during the famine
years. But, says the report, sit is also
partly attributable to the spread of
education and the consequent weaker
hold which the so-called ascetics 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 unloOse the
purse strings of the people.
There is happily, reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is filtering down to the
lower levels. This evil is not confined
to one particular community or re-
| ligiOn. 1t is as rampant among the
Mahometans as among the Hindoos.
The "Sar Jadid," an ably conducted
vernacular paper, published in upper
India, dealing with questions of
social reform among Mahometans, has
been forcibly calling the attention of
| its co-religionists to the necessity of
reform in their notions of charity. Our
contemporary shows by a reference to
the Police Gazette that the number of
Mahometan beggars under surveillance
has been rising every week. l cite in
stances from the records of criminal
courts to prove that some Of the men
who pass for religious teachers have
been convicted on charges of fraud and
immortality committed on the property
and persons of men and women who
had been misled by their religious ap-
Dearance.

The FRUITS OF PEACE.
JAPAN TO TURN HER ATTENTION
TO ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.
Wonderful Performances Following
Our Civil War When a Million Men
Returned to Work to be Repeated
by Japan.

The great armies of Japan are about
to be sent back to the farm, the work
shop and the marts of trade. The pa
gan nation that has refused to bow
its knee in worship at the foot of the
cross is about to exemplify that
prOphesy of Isaiah perhaps more fully
than has any nation claiming to be
guided by the Christian faith.
"They Shall~beat their swords into
ploughshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more"
Such were the words of the prophet,
spoken during the very period of which
tradition echoes the greatness of the
japanese nation.
Militant Japan passes" now de-
clares Baron Kaneko, the Mikado's
representative in the United States,
"and industrial Japan takes its place
with the coming of peace"
Within short time, probably in Oc-
tOber when the foliage of the rare
japanese gardens is tinged with yellow
at the coming of the frost, the scrolls
that perpetuate Japanese history will
bear a narrative of the grand disband-
ment of that army of Japanese soldiers
d
by the world at large to be it's superior.
AS soon as the Japanese Government
can make the necessary arrangements,
that great army of three-quarters of a
million of men will pass in review
through the streets of Tokyo and will
invoke the same magic spell that made
for peace in the review of the Grand
Army of the Republic in our own CAPT
tai at the close of the Civil War.
Promise of a Great Military-Peace
BeVieW.
The Japanese, ever ready to adopt
the best that exists in foreign lands,
and with sufficient initiative and power
for improvement to SurpaSS the people
they initiate, may be depended upon to
provide one of the most magnificent
spectacles representing transit
ton from war to peace that has
ever been witnessed. That army that
has carried everything before it, and
which has been the wonder of the mill
tary powers of the world, will soon be
marching through the streets of Tokyo
amid the plaudits of the populace that
has made sacrifices at home as have
the warriors on fields of battle where
their Russian antagonists have met de-
feat and humiliation.
This plan has been adopted in a ten
tative way by the Japanese Govern
ment, and is likely to be carried out,
unless the riotous acts of the people
who have been disappointed by what
they regard as inadequate compensa-
ton for Japan as stipulated in the terms
of peace, cause the Government. for
prudential reasons. to avoid such a
demonstration when the great army is
within the capital.
But whether this display of a mill
tary nation, chided as being devoted to
war for the love of military glory
alone, takes place on the magnificent
scale that many wise statesmen of
Japan hope for, the army that has
raised Japan to the rank of first-rate

The Strife in Georgia.
In good old Georgia the shears of
embattled editors flash in the August
moon. Georgia was disposed to be-
come frantic at first, but when it was
certain that an editor would become
governor in any event, the grand old
State sighed and became resigned,
She no longer fears the worst, for 1t
has happened. She hears the roar
of the linotypes as they belch forth
defiance and smoke, and the sharp
rattle of sanguinary-ty pewriters fills
her capital with dread. Editorial ex-
plosions are of hourly occurrence, and
column after column sweeps forward
with double leads and bold-faced
heads. 1t is a carnage of minion and
bourgeois. Even the neutral diction-
airy has been pillaged, and war poems
are at ruinOuS premium.
