WHAT CHIEF BURRILL SAYS. Mr, Burrill, the chief of the bureauof engraving and printing, stated in reference to the criti cisms passed upon the action of the bureau in engraving and printing the cards of invitation for the inaugural ball by persons foteresied in New York bani: note com- panies, that so far as he 1s aware the bureau 13 not protibited by law from doing such work. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury had directed the bureau to do the work; the bureau would slinply be relm- bursed for the actual net cost. ‘There was a prece- deut established at the tine of the reunion of the Amy of the Cumberland when Secretary Folger decided that the bureau could do the work. The bureau did not seek the work, but_he was glad to do it as. a matter of courtesy and to contribute to the success of the inauguration. At the last in. auguration, he understood, Col. Irish, then chigf of the bureau, declined to engrave and ‘print the in- vitations in order to give no occasion to the demo- cratic press for critic!

The parade at the last inauguration was simply’a farce, so far as appearance went, for the people crowded So close up to the military that those looking trom upper Windows could see nothing but a moving masy of leads. ‘There has scarcely been a procession in Washington the effect of which has not been marred by thls defect. If the committee finds 1t hecessary, ropes will be stretched to confine the crowd to the sidewalk. Special policemen, some of whom will be mounted, will be employed to ald in keeping the people back. Mr. Larner says that tt he bas anything to do with ft, there shall be no cavalcade of mounted police riding at the head of tue procession. such a disposition of the police force, he thinks, is useless,as the men can be better disposed élsewhere.

It does not appear from the published account ‘inthe Cincinnati Commercial of the brief last illness of the good citizen, Reuben Springer, whether the cathedral (where be first felt the chill that was the warning of death) was toohot or too cold. The actual cause of bis death, three days after. was only cuessed at by his attending Physician, and was supposed to be some degen- | eracy or disturbance in the heart's action. It | may have been merely a coincidence in point ot time that the fatal symptoms were fret felt dur- jug the time ct his visit to the church building. But it calls attention to the fact that at this time of year the most of such edifices are kept either entirely too hot or too eold, and lin’ but few Instances are properly arranged for the occupancy of a large number of per- sons in their winter clothing. They are more often overthan underheated, and in that case the congregation runs the double risk of sleepy inattention vo the services and of a sudden cool- ing off afterwards on going out into the air. Whereas, inthe damp or chill old churches of Europe, it is thecustom of tourist visitors to provide themselves with extra wraps and foot- warmers for zoinz in out ot the street. If itis not easy toregulate theamount of heat and yentlla- tion properiy,then it should become the custom in this country for congregations to dress aceord- ing to the reputation ofthe edifice. Forehili floors and draaghty aisies extra wraps and well-pro- tected toot gear would be in order. While for the structure where summer heats prevail a cioak room would be a good annex for those members of the congrezation who will not dis- Tobe themselves in their pe Physical, as well as spiritual heaitn should be the result of the Sunday or week day attendazce on church | services.
