The scores in the matches were larger than ever made by qither of these states in contests. The ‘Washington boys would have won just the game The body of men from which Maj. ‘Harries, the inspector general of rifle prac- tice, and his able corps of fellow workers have to draw for their riflemen is small as compared to the state guards of Pennsyl- vania and New York, and this fact makes ‘their good work all the more creditable. ‘There may have been a time when the "w-ruilitia were looked upon as play soldiers, ‘Dut that time ts past, as it should be The volunteer soldiers are admitted to be worthy of all consideration and help, and this week ‘the District National Guard ts a little more worthy than any of the rest of them. —___+ e= It looks as though the time might not be far off when the great nations of the world will resort to peaceful tactics instead of to the sword to settle any disagreements tha’ i l i rT, Ff f J . ag 4 ‘i Faas bast fey # patie { ; H | bed | Washington. That discussion showed that at this time not one building only is need- @4, but several, to relieve the overcrowded condition of the public offices. It was ap- parent also that there is uncertainty as to the proper location of the proposed build- imgs. In the past whenever a bill for the erection of a public building in this city has been before Congress the sticking point has nearly always been over the site. If it had not been for differences cf opinion im this particular a new building for the printing office would have been erected and occupied by this time. Each succeeding year witnesses the crowth of the clerical force of the government and this condition of affairs may be ex- ected to continue so long as the popula- tion of the country maintains its upward tendency. The sooner the real facts ere met the better. Instead of dealing with this question in half measures would it Rot be wise to secure in one purchase a large area of land and thus provide means for the erection of buildings as rapidly as they may be required? The plan of buy- ing the squares of ground on the south ide of Pennsylvania avenue between 9th street and 15th street has been recommend- 4 by nearly everyone who has given the matter any consideration. Fither the land should be bought in that locality or in some other. At any rate it is evident that the land question must be settled first before i é : [: Hil ii Le byisee if 7 Hae Beeibas red the more costly the land will be- come. ———_++-____ Capt.

Farmer Begosh was nailing a picket to his fence when the huckster drove up. The conversation drifted from personal business to national topics. - “What kind of a currency basis do you favor?" asked the huckster. “W-a-a-l,” said Mr. Begosh, “I s’pose I'm Ro different from a hull lot of better known people in favorin’ whut I kin reach out an’ git the most of with the least trouble.” “Yer fur silver, then, ain't ye?* “Nope.

THE WEEK. ‘The meeting of Congress has been the en- grossing topic at home and the action of that body is eagerly awaited everywhere. Senator Voorhees introduced two bills de- signed to relieve the country; one to enable national banks to issue notes.to the par valye of the United States bonds which they hold, and the other repzaling the sil- ver purchase clause of the Sherman law, but declaring for the principle of bimetal- lism. Senator Vest, representing the silver men, will stand by a bill for free coinage at the ratio of 20 to 1. The debate on the repeal of the Sherman silver bill continued all the week in the House. election 3 effect any proceeding or prosecu pending under said act. Senater Butler in- troduced a bill repealing the state bank tax. Mr. Peffer of Kansas intoduced a bill pro- viding further issue of $300,000,000 of flat money, exchangeable for government bonds at par. Senator Chandler reintroduced his Dill of last Congress, establishing additional Fegulations concerning immigration to the United States. There have been no marked incidents bearing upon the financial situation, but ‘he course of the markets ha’ thoughtful observers have declared their belief that the business of the country has Passed the worst phase of the protracted 4 jon and that returning confidence will soon manifest itself in @ general im- provement. Abroad. ‘The decision of the Bering sea tribunal at Paris has been the chief event abroad during the past week. It has had the #1. gular effect of satisfying both parties in the dispute. Although the United States lost {ts clatm to jurisdiction over Bering sea, yet the regulations proposed by the tribunal for the protection of the seals are so stringent that the American arbitrators and Mr. Foster, the government's financial agent, professed to be satisfied that the real aim of this government had been attained. however, is dissatisfied and thelr sealers claim that they have been sacri- ficed in the decision of the tribunal. A reign of terror existed in Bombay until the military was called out to suppress the rioting of the Hindoos and Mohammedans, caused by indignities being put upon one sect by the other. Numbers were killed, many injured and shops were looted. It Was announced that the home rnin bill ould be called up in the house of lords on September 4. Closure will be moved on the reporting stage of the bill in the commons next Friday. Mr. John FE. Ttedmond has Promised that the Parnellite members will Support the bill. The unioalsts have Te- pelled all of Mr. Gladstone's «forts to rain concessions from them. The tariff war be- fyrgen Germany and Russla continues. The jecree adding 60 cent to import duties on Finnish products Dr. Witte, the Russian minister of finance, threatened to resign if the tari war with Germany is abandoned. The Spanish Sovernment had intimated an intention to Germany and cases have been foun the suburbs of Vienna. The coarunen be Europe have been interested in the yacht Taces off the south coast of Englan4. Amer- jean interest was centered in *he perform- ances of the American yacht Navahoe, which went over to contest for the Cape and Brenton reef cups. She has di: appointed expectation so far, the Valkyri and Britannia showing themselves much faster. The new German ambassa‘or to the United States, Baron von Saurina Jeitsch, sailed for New York, while the new Chinese minister arrived at San Francisco. ‘The recent socialist congress at Zurich condemned the anarchists. The Verlin so- clalists and anarchists have in turn de- nounced the Zunich congress. At Home. be ‘There has been little in the local happen- ings of the week of more than minor import- ance. A moderate fall of rain was a great re- Nef and was appreciated by the residents of the city as well as those of the country. A number of topics of interest were dis- cussed in the reports of several of the Dis- trict officials made during the week to the District Commissioners. The filing of the suit against Representative Breckinridze of Kentucky by Miss Pollard for $50,000 tor breach of promise and seduction furnished a choice scandal, which has lasted th ‘The the rifle matches at Sea Girt came to thrill every District man with pride. During the week also a novel move was made by a number of suffrage advocates looking to the admission of the District of Columbia into the Union as a state. neapolis was a serious sufferer from fire early in the week, thirteen saw milis and sash factories and 40,000,000 feet of lum- ber betng burned. A few days later St. Paul had a fatal fire, but the money loss was not so heavy. The trial of Mrs. Shann at Trenton, N. J., for poisoning her son has held the interest of those who delight in mysterious affairs. Dr. Buchanan of New York was sentenced to be electrocuted for poisoning his wife. His case was much like that of Carlyle Harris, and he was convicted on similar testimony. He will die during the week beginning October 71. More than the usual number of suicides have occurred, the heat, business failure, and other causes temporarily unhinging were intellect. The fatal trolley has con- ued its career of death, Brooklyn having been the scene of most “of the tragelies The most novel incident at the Chicago fair has been the strike of 400 college boys who were employed as chair-pushers. They struck against a 2 per cent cut in salaries. Most of the sight-seers walked tn conse quence. Minister James H. Blount arrived from Honolulu on his way to this city. The Virginia democrats nominated Con- gressman O’Ferrall for govern: and de- clared for bimetallism, but without taking @ pronounced stand for silver. Mgr. Satolli rated mass in the New York cathedral, Archbishop Corrigan preaching the sermon. ‘The deaths of the week have been Con- gressman Chipman of Michigan at home and Dr. Charcot and Carl Muller abroad.

Senator Quay, who is one of the most hat the unconditional repeal of he part ot t_ the uncondit! repeal ot rt of the Sherman law chase of silver . Sena- tor Quay expects a hard battle in the Sen- ate and some delay, but he Is now entirely confident that repeal will pass without any condition for free silver coinage on any No member of the Senate is better advised of the attitude of the various Senators on the subject, and his judgment may be regarded ‘as quite as accurate as that of any other member of the body. He will stand square- the President for a sound ‘nancial policy, and leave party issues to be met when the money issue {s settled. jn arsaaiiaad Aeon ar iE Vest’s “Parting of the Ways.” From the Philadelphia Ledger. Senator Vest’s parting of the ways reaches back into the last president campaign, when he was pulled down for assuming to know a whole lot that wasn't so about Mr. Cleveland's views on silver. The Missouri Senator's way at that time was erratic and he has not parted from it. ——_—_< oe ___. What the Text Means. From the Galveston News. ‘The Bible plainly states the duty of Con- gress when it says: “Let your communica- tion be yea, yea; nay, nay.” is means a roll call on’ the repeai bill without any un- necessary speeches. ——- + +2 Asphalt Comes Out Ahead.

From the Minneapolis Tribune. ‘There is no more reason for an American citizen in possession of his senses today to hide his money in his hosiery or in vaults than there was for the brainless servant in the parable to put his money in a hole in the ground.
