and expensive printing Office in the
world, is the Government Printing
once in washington, but within the
last few weeks abona fide printer anil
manager, Charles A. stillings BY
name, has been made Public Printer
and is enforcing some simple and
business like rules and regulations.
There would appear to be nothing re.
markable or revolutionary in this but
1t has shaken the old asylum for in
competent and dead beat printers to
its foundations. Their mutations and
imprecations arc like the roarlngs
and the howlings Of the zoo at fsei-

Mr. sii1tngs will go right on with his
betterments. An intolerabe situation
has been created by act and neglect
OF Congress and the idle, drunken and
incapable people should be cleared

has been fitted up with new machinery,

now compare favorably with any plant

Their capacity is sufficient to furnish
more than twice the amount of ice now
used in this immediate section, and
will furnish it at a price and ina con-
