A Sugzestion for Marshal Browne. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The reincarnation doctrine of “Gen.” Cox- ey and “Marshal Browne is no more nor jess than the ancient belief in the trans- migration cf the soul, first heard amongst the Chaldeans, then the Egyptians, and also taught and enlarged upon by Anaxagoras, who flourished about 450 years before Christ. Of all the ancient philosophers who taught this doctrine, Pythagoras was, per- haps, the most noted. He claimed to have been slain at the siege of Troy, and that therefore his living soul in another body standing before his pupils was conclusive evidence of the truth of his teaching. But it remained for Empedocies, one of his pupils, to give the most convincing proof that he, at least, believed in his own teach- ing, for Diogenes Laetius says that Em- pedocles jumped head foremost into the crater of Mt. Etra, with the declaration that he would return to earth in another body, doubly strengthened to convince, and that his brass sandals were subsequently thrown out in an eruption of that mountain. Now, here is a pointer for “Marshal” Browne. Whilst there is no Etna near, yet the Potomac river is handy, and if that buckskin coat of the marshal’s should be found floating on its placid bosom, how $t might place him in history and send his name “thundering down the ages” beside that of Empedocies. A SUBSCRIBER. Pere Seas Why They Were Discharged. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In view of the fact that Col. Ainsworth is now under indictment for his connection with the Ford's Theater accident, I think that a card relating to the recent discharge in the R. and P. office should not pass with- out eriticism. While it is a fact that a number of those who were discharged tea- tified at the inquest, it is merely a coin- eidence, nothing more. All of those who were discharged did not testify, and some who did still retain their places—a fact which can be easily verified by the files of your paper. If the writer of that article Supposed that the letter of the Secretary would prevent the discharge for cause of those who testified few would think his ex- pectations reasonable. It is a fact for which i can vouch that some of the men who were discharged were persistent violators of cer tain rules, and I think that they can lay their misfortunes to this cause much more reasonably than to testimony given a year ago. FAIR PLAY. SE Brightwood Endenvorers. On Sunday evening the organization of a Christian Endeavor Society was effected in Emory Chapel, Brightwood.

GENERAL INCREASE ALONG THE LINE Changes That Have Been Made in the Different Schedules. ADDITIONS TO THE FREE LIST ‘The “compromise amendments” to the tar- iff bill were made public last night. They quite fulfill the predictions of republican Senators as to the contemplated complete change in the Wilson tariff bill, and are of @ character to render the bill a high pro- tective measure, in some instances quite as high as the republicans would now draw if they had the work to do.

A verdict for the defendant was yesterday returned in Circuit Court, No. 1, Judge Bradley, in the case of James E. Howe agt. the District of Columbia. The action was a suit at law for $10,000 damages. Howe al- leged that on the night of the 9th of July, 1800, he fell into an excavation in front of No. 116 M street southeast, and that he was severely injured, He contended that the contractor making the excavation had failed to properly barricade and light it, and that the District was therefore responsible for the Injury sustained by him. The defense Was that the hole had been properly bar- ricaded and lighted, and that the complain- ant himself was the only person at fault. PLENTY OF TALK But No Action ¥et on the Printing Office Bite, Attacking and Defending the Difter- ent Propositions in the House— The Subject Goes Over. After The Star’s report closed yesterday afternoon, the discussion on the printing of- fice site continued in the House. Mr. Hep- burn of Iowa followed Bir. Livingstone. After finding much fault with the site pro- poséd by the committee, Mr. Hepburn urged the Mahone site. in this connection he said: “One consideration that ought to entmate members is this, Mr. Chairman: There is already, as I understand, a bili passed the Senate providing for the erection of this building. Now, the difficulty and the delay has occurred beeause of the disagreements between the committees of the two houses, These disagreements have been of such a serfous character and so long continued that 1 think a joint committee has been raised by one or more Congresses for the purpose of securing @ proper site. And yet we find now that the Senate has made one proposi- tion that, so far es they were concerned, was enacted into a law, and is only now sus- pended, perhaps, by a motion for recon- sideration, while the House portion of the committee has brought in an entirely aif- ferent proposition. We ought to agree to something. “In the meantime, every one says that de- Jays are perilous; every one says that the present accommodations are entirely in- sufficient; that the building is insecure; that began to be agitated. Now, somebody has got to recede from some of — precon- ceived notions. We have got to adopt the propositions of the: Senate or — must adopt ours. We know what a 'e done. We know that we can agree to their propo. sitions. We know that we can secure legis- lation. We know that we can end this mat- ter. Then why is it not better to do that than to adhere to the determination —- our committee has made and throw wi matter again into chaor that the best site offered for this building is what is called the base ball park, but we have failed to get that. We may fail to get any @f these sites, but we ought not to fail to legislate on this subject; and if we do, we shall be held to a very severe account by our constituents. . “Should such a disaster occur as we are told by those who are well informed is Hable to occur at any time on —— = the un- sultableness and weakness of the present building we could not be reid guiltless. There is not a gentleman within the sound of my voice but will concede that there o the Senator from my state, Mr. Vest, and proceed to the bal- ance of the block upon which the present th take th site poupeeed tr tho ture ere, or ie ie ee Prony nasenyoe the site us, all right. = onal then a because ‘the ‘sens, for Spor one. I feel no assurance that action of the Senate in favor of the Mahone lot is the best evidence thoroughly this question, and to decide it, or of our present committee presenting this bill; but, I repeat, it is our duty to take up this subject, and, after fair discussion, hy let it be presented in gome practical form, upon which a majority of us agree, then get the assent of the Senate, and pro- coed as fast as we can to construct a build. ing fit for the use of our employes in the government printing office.” The Committee's Site. Mr. Abbott of Texas defended the choice of the committee on public buildings and grounds. He called attention to the fact that the Mahone site and the base ball park ere in the noighborhood of the Tiber sewer, and held that the ground was not stable for a foundation because the land was once a marsh. Mr. Richardson of — said: “Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to the present recommendation, because I think the is too high to pay for the location. We have heard it stated here today by the gen- tleman from Iowa (Mr. Hepburn), and per- haps others—and the gentleman from Iowa seems to have ground for his statement-- that it would cost probably $480,000 to $500,- 000 to get ready to begin this work. Now, the Mahone site, which has been offered, will cost, it is conceded, $250,000, and per- haps more. If I remember correctly in the last Congress, when this matter was under consideration, the bill that was considered in the Senate $250,000, and then an additional mee if I am not mistaken, for the purpose o! ig the Mahone = making Ssv.000 or $200,000" for for that .” Mr. Richardson also objected to the building too far away from tae tite homes of the employes oft the office because it would cause mconvenience and discom- fort to the employes who have settled down and built their little homes.

The statements of @x-Senator Dawes, let me say from the best of reasons, will stand until he denies them for himself. We Go not accept the intimation of the agent of the Indian Rights Association, that Mr. Dawes either misrepresented his own views or deliberate- ly dodged his duty “to gratify senatorial associates.” His statement was not made, es Mr. Painter affirms, “at an early period of thie discussion,” but after it had been under consideration more than three y: and when every phase of the question was perfectly familiar to him. The case is simpie. Fvery intelligent and candid man who knows the facts knows that the present reservation is a very “um- fortunate” one for these Indians. Not that there is not good jand-on it; no one questioned Present reservation is unfortunste for the indians from its shape and location. It is @ harrow strip of land, fifteen miles wide by 115 long, bordered on both sides by a white population who use the land freely for roads and more or less for pasturage in summer. This is inevitable under the cir- cumstances. Then the stock of the Indians strays off the reservation. The owner may be fifty miles from the agency, — he has no right to follow the stock off t! Besides all this, the na Does from 6,000 wo with snow for es it it exceedingly to preserve their stock at be very different conditions of surface and soil will. not be troubled by the agent's apparent contradic- tons.
