z Civilization and Grass.

The Importance of the grass to man
kind is demonstrated by the fact that
the greatest portion of the dry land
surface of the earth is occupied by
grasses. Grasses furnish all the bread
stuffS and most of the meat and sugar
consumed by man. Every known primi-
tive civilization has been built upon
one or another of the cereal grasses,
supplemented with pasture grasses.
Primitive man, living by hunting, was
completely dependent on grassland and
became a nomad as he followed grass
feeding animals in their wanderings.
Cereal grasses changed man from a
nomad to settler and led to the cul-
ttvation of land Even the calendar
and social life were made necessary by
the cultivation of cereal grasses.

advanced too far may be made 10 heal
themselves by a proper food control.
A minute examination Of the patient
is made to determine just what ele-
ments are lacking in the system and
food is recommended which win sup

at present ITO employees in this agency.
Twelve Washington and Sc permanent
field workers will be released from the
service of the Land once 1t was said
that many surveys and resurveys
requested cannot be undertaken and
some of those in process will be dis
continued At least five of the IA public
survey offices in the West will be
abandoned and "a field engineers and

technical Office employees, all of whom
have been trained from youth in this
highly specialized work, will be dropped
from the service.
The reduction of $4,000 in this
bureaus agency for protecting public

iZation of the entire field service,
resulting in the abolishment of at least
two divisions and throwing out Of work

The appropriations for the Indian
Service for the 1898 fiscal year are
S20,7l0,439, a reduction of S4,279, 900
less than for the present fiscal year.
This will cost 720 permanent and
temporary workers their jobs. Forty
one of those slated for dismissal are
in the Washington Office, which will be
crippled, according to officials, to such
an extent that the effect will be felt
throughout the entire service
A general curtailment will be neces-
sary for the vast reclamation service
to remain within its appropriation of
81, 7,4l4, 500, which is $14 ,656,500 less than
for the current fiscal year. Officials
have estimated they will have to do
without the services of 1889 permanent
and temporary workers.
Total of $4,000, 900 was cut from the
appropriation for the Colorado River
project, where it was reported con-
struction is rapidly going on under
contract and where any funds advanced
are to be repaid in full with interest at
per cent.
The appropriations for the Hoover
Dam have been cut from $4,000 900
for the current year to S4,000,00 for
1888, which caused Secretary Wilbur
to issue a warning that the sooner the
Hoover Dam is completed, the sooner
interest payments will begin and a great
community receive protection from
inevitable floods" He predicted a de-
ficiency estimate would be necessary to
keep this project going properly.
The cabinet officer emphasized this
item alone should be evidence that the
reduction in some Of the appropriations
was more apparent than real. He has
referred to the general reduction as
pork" to indicate that in cutting the
appropriation bill "the
choice was made to preserve ex-
penditure in States and congressional
districts at the expense of necessary
service"

O'Connor Opposes Rule.
Representative OConnor, Democrat,
OF New York, a member of the Rules
Committee, declared himself opposed to
the rule and expressed the hope it
would be beaten. He emphasized that
the Economy Committee has been given
extraordinary high privilege, and was
expected to bring in its bill with the
same rights as are given to Appropria-
tions and Ways and Means Commit
tees. Instead of that, ne said, they
resorted to the very unusual procedure
of coming back to the Rules Committee
for a special rule, under which they
could put an amendment of II pages
Of highly controversial legislation on an
appropriation bill If the rule is adopt
ed, he said, he would offer an amend
fnent to increase the exemption for paw
cuts on Government employees from
81 600 to $4,000. This, he said. would
relieve 4l7,000 civilian and 264 800 mill
tary employees. leaving only BAL ,0eO en-
ployes affected.
Representative Purnen, Republican
Of Indiana, said he hoped the rule
would be adopted Neither the rule
nor the bill is entirely satisfactory to
me-" he said, but neither side of this
House will go before the country and
say they are opposed to any measure
which may offer hope of economy The
country is not interested in intricacies
of procedure or legislation, but to have
us put in practice rigid economy. It
is high time for the Federal Govern
ment TO take its cut. This program
would give evidence of our good faith
by reducing our own salaries. / believe

should have adopted program Of

Figures Given in Letter.
These figures are contained in a
letter from David Burnet, commissioner
of internal revenue, to Senator Oddie,
Republican, of Nevada, chairman of the
subcommittee having charge of the
Treasury-Post Office appropriation bill
The letter was written at the request
Of the Senator.
Mr.. Burnet submitted tables showing
how these reductions in personnel would
be distributed throughout the various
sections of the country He pointed
out that in the actual application of
the cut it might be found that in some
districts 1t would not be possible to
curtail the force. which would mean
dropping a larger number in some
other districts
In presenting the figures to the SEN
ate late Yesterday. Senator Oddie. who
is fighting vigorously against the 10
per cent cut, said:
Fears Collection Loss
Il have already called attention to
the fact that possibly $4,000 900 in
internal revenue collections will be lost
II these reductions in the personnel are
made"
The Oddie subcommittee has heard
the testimony of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mills and Postmaster General
Brown as to the effect of the 10 per
cent on their departments, but has not
decided where to apply the cut in the
two departments.
