The latter would reach but few, here and there; but the newspaper has license 10 enter every household. and iS aided even by the government in doing so; and it daily spreads volume of filth and mass ot iO6eceNcy that are simply appalling.

MIR. sr1LL1NGs MAY BID.
Public Printer May Compete for Pat
emit Office Work.

An interesting situation has resulted from
the proposal of the patent Office to have
the printing for the Official Gazette done
by outside contract instead of by the gov
eminent printing Office as heretofore. Chief
Clerk Irelan of the patent Office received
an intimation this morning that the public
printer might like to enter a bid for the
work on the same footing as an outsider
The government bidding in competition
with the general trade for government bus
mess is something novel, and If Mr. Still
ings does decide to submit price those
interested in national economy will doubt
less attach much Importance to the result
Mr.. Stillfngs has repeatedly declared that
he is endeayoring to put the government
printing Office a strictly business basis
and this, 1t is believed, will be a practical
test of what he Is able to do
The provision of the executive appropria-
ton bill, as it has passed the House, under
which the commissioner of patents is pro-
ceeding in anticipation that the Senate will
concur, does not require that the printing
for the Gazette be done in any particular
way, but simply does not contain the for
lner requirement that the government
printing office be given the work. The
patent office authorities do not see, there
fore, why the public printer should not be
allowed to bid for the work. Consequent
Iy, Mr.. Irean this morning forwarded to
the public printer the necessary specifi-
cations and blanks.

A FINANCIAL SCHEME
WALL STREET BROKERS Plan TO
ovERcoME MONEY srRrnaENcY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April bit was learned
this afternoon. upon trustworthy authority,
that certain leading interests upon the
stock exchange have in contemplation steps
which may serve to revolutionize money
market conditions in this city. The meas
ures IT, question have been under discus
sion ever since the monetary stringency be-
came acute, and 1t is well known there
have been frequent charges OF fragrant ma
nipulation in the money market ieviea
against certain lending institutions In this
city.
stock brokers feel that they and their
Customers have been treated unfairly by
the banks and that a great deal OF business
Is being diverted to London ana oanet
points on account Of excessive ana UNFAIR
rates. whi.h have been exacted TOT money !,
So far as can be ascertained, II Is proposed
that Individual members OF the STOCK e4
change shall subscribe large amount OF
capital say twenty-five or htty miiloh uoi-
lars, which will be applied either In the
form of an increase In the capital STOCK
of the National City Bank or to be en-
ployed in the organization OF a new trust
company to be operated under the oIee-
ton of the National City Bank.
The latter institution has never cnai ~
more than per cent throughout the peIlou
of the monetary strfngency, ana an
street believes that its management ean
best be entrusted with the direclioh Oh 'he
new institution contemplated
1t Is believed that either shape which the
project may take would place the. New
York money market and the stock exchange
in much stronger position than e1ther mas
ever occupied before, and particularly IN 50
far as the operations of the foreign eX-
changes are concerned.
1t is believed, In short, that some such
control over the international money mar.
ket as is now exercised py the panh ~
England could be attained by such an IN
stitution, and that In times of stress goid
imports could either be exported or gold
imports checked by such extra means as
are used by the Bank of England.
The subject in question is at present in a
somewhat inchoate form, but more is apt
to be heard of it later.
