CALLS HALT ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Mr.. Bartholdt Points Out the Need ef Econ
omy in Appropriations.

Washington Jan I0-'"The 60th Congress has
been in session only few days and more than
six hundred bills already have been introduced for
the expenditure of SSO.O0aO0O in proposed public
Buildings If 20 per cent of that total is appropr-
country may consider themselves lucky" said
Chairman Bartholdt Of the House COMMITTEES on
Public Buildings and Grounds to-day
Government revenues he added. are falling
short at the rate of about 81. 100000 a MONTH due
TO the curtailment of luxury purchases by the
people in this time of financial disturbance and
commercial depression. We face heavy deficit at
the close of the fiscal year Estimates for run
ming expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1863 must be cut down. the Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee pointed out recently.
and original legislation such bills proposing the
erection Of public buildings and the purchase OF
public grounds. must be held in with tight rein.
1t is true the government balance sheet shows
handsome surplus of something like $50 Geo 90,
but it must be remembered that a great deal Of
banks and that they net at this time in po-
sition to hand it The six hundred-odd bills
that have been introduced thus far call for the
appropriation of about SO0000O0 for public grounds
and buildings throughout the country and approx
fmateIy Ss9O00.OO0 for the same purposes in the
District of Columbia, where there exist such cry
ing needs for instance a safe building for tho
archives of the governent-priceIess unreplaceabis
in case of loss-which are scattered about all
over the city. in such peril would cause the
nation vast embarrassment if they should be -
stroyed."

REFORM TN THE CONGO.
THE GOVERNMENTS PLAN
Phlanthropic Uses of ReUenue-
King Leopolds Threat.

Brussels. Jan. 10.-The government has issued
its reply to the recommendations made by the
Congo Commission. 1t says that King Leopold
does not desire any personal profit from the do
nations reserved under the treaty; these amount
to 81 100000 year, but It is expected that
later they will grow to S5.000.0O0 a year.
The reply sets forth various philanthropic
methods in which the revenue of the Congo IN
dependent State is to be expended The income
will be devoted to phlanthropic, educational
and hospital work Catholic missions and spe-
cial Investigations, such as an effort TO hno
cure for the sleeping sickness. The reply, among
other things makes it clear that companies hoio-
ing concessions will be amenable TO the laws oi
the Congo and not to Belgian laws
a feature Of the reply is a statement OF the
ren1arkab BILE mineral wealth of the katanga dis
trict. Eighteen copper and malachlte mines
have been discovered in this territory, ana thefe
are two million tons of copper ore in sight.
While the replv admits that taxes in the Congo
have been paid in labor. it denies that the sSs-
tenn of forced labor is now in existence
In conclusion, the reply says that II the treaty
is not ratified King Leopold will resume his for
mer status in the administration of the Congo
Independent State
The reply has made an unfaVorane impress
sion generally 1t is understood that M Schol-
Iaert accepted the Premiership under the belief
that King Leopold would make further conces-
sfons than his majesty's present intentions IN

The farmer who keeps a flock OF

If there is an open shed about the
barn. it might be well to let the flock
run to this. Here they will shelter
themselves from the heat and at night
get accustomed to come to this place
to sleep and thus protect themselves
from any dogs that have a tooth for

peuelonina Leadership.

Miss Jennie Buel. secretary of
Michigan state grange, very truly says
that one of the great demonstrations of
organization among farmer folk in the
past forty years has been the discovery
and turning to account of leaders
among themselves. Pre-eminent lead
ers, it is perhaps true. are born. not
made. But many who might be real
leaders never develop the ability. and
many others never are given the right
bent. Their natural aggressiveness
runs riot or to waste on worthless
ends. 1t is not led out and sehooIed to
logical accomplishments.
The grange steps in right here and
offers the plan, the experience and the
incentive to the proper development of
leadership More than this. it is the
mission of the grange to do this. 1t is
a feature of grange opportunity that
presents itself as a privilege rather
than as duty However, the percep-
ton of this privilege does not usually
come in the primary grades of associ-
ated work. But when this opportu-
nifty of helping human lives blossom
and discover themselves is once real
lied it is found to have a rare quality
of enjoyment and satisfaction.
