The first and manifest duty of Congress is to see to it that the expenses of the government do not exce2d its receipts.

Our first step, therefore, must be in the di- rection of greater economy in expenditures. There should be ro division in regard to the necessity for this. Democrats and re- publicans alike must agree that if the gov- errment’s revenues are deficient the safe thing to do is to curtail expenses, if this can be done.

Craighill, chief of engineers has re- ceived a report from Col. J. M. Wilson of the operations for the repair and en- largement of the government printing office during the month of November. He says these operations have been in prog- ress throughout the month, both by con- tract and hired labor, materials beii chased by contract, except in emergency. In the H street wing has been In progress strengthening structure in two or three places, where heams had been eut, columns shifted or re- moved, and other changes made in the past years, which somewhat weakened the old Structure. These temporary repairs will be completed during the present month. The New Structure. work the Work uporf the new six-story fire-proof structure has been pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The steel frame has been completed, the brick work carried up to the window sills of the fourth story, the reof tiles placed in position, the floor tiles set in the first floor, and a portion of ‘he terra cotta fire-proofing placed in position. About 118,000 common brick, 50,- “00 buff brick, 71,000 select red brick, 19,000 shaped, pressed, molded and colored brick, 1,500 pieces of ornamental pressed brick and a number of pieces of ornamental ter- ra cotta have been built in the walls, and twenty-nine window sills, twenty-seven lintels and seventy-five window frames have been placed in position. All roofing material, including creosoted timber, tin, cte., have been received, and, weather per- mitting, will be put in position during the present month. A contract has been made fer the iron stairways, to be placed in po- sition by January 15 next. Pushing the Work. Col. Wilson says the number of me- chanics and laborers engaged upon the building has varied between ninety and 120 daily, and every effort has been made to push forward operations as rapidly as 1s consistent with first-class work done by first. ss mechanics, with first-class ma- terials. The preparations of plans and srecifications for interior work have been continued. Col. Wilson says more or less trouble has occurred in connection with buff brick, quite a number having been de- red, which failed to come up in quality to the sample originally submitted. A number have been rejected, and the con- tractor has been informed that, unless the proper quality of brick is delivered, it will be necessary to annul the contract, and make purchases in open marker, charging the excess of cost, If any, to him.

Mr. Carbé' wis sent here ex- pressly to study American institutions, es- pecially the public school system and the system of municipal police. It is said that the new president of Ecuador is especially impressed with the merits of the public school system of the United States, and that Minister Carbo is authorized to em- ploy American teachers to go to Ecuador to assist in the organization of a similar systen in that country. In a recent interview in New York Mr. Carbo said “General Alfaro, the new Ecuador, is very popular. His government ig now established in Guayaquil, which is used as a provisional capital. The new congress will meet in May. The govern- ment is supported by tne liberal and radi- cal parties and by the older men of wealth and position. “The financial situation of Ecuador is en- rely satisfactory, and one of the first projects taken up by the government is the railway between Guayaquil and Quito, the old capital of the republic. “Ecuador ts a bimetallic country, and its government is the only one in South ica which does not issue paper mone; oe COURTS.

All subscriptions will be for equal amounts of the shares of both companies, which are under the same ownership and management. By the terms of a perpetual contract between these companies they are to be operated together, and all expenses and profits are to be equally divided. The par value of the shares is $50. Subscriptions at $25 per share will be received until Wednesday, December 11, at 11 o’clock a.m., when the price will be advanced to $30 per share, of which $5 per share will be payable upon subscription and the balance in 5 monthly instz -ents of $5 each. The stock will be fully paid and non-assessable and there will be no individual liability. The company has no bonded debt or other liabilities, except its capital stock. The treasiirer’s receipts will be given for the amounts paid. Certifi- cates of stock will be duly issued after full payment, and after the in- crease of capital stock. Applications may be made in person or by letter addressed to Charles N. Wake of Lewis Johnson & Co., Treasurer, to whom all pay- ments should be made. Earning Capacity. These two companies own the exclusive right to manufacture, use and vend Carbide of Calcium and Acetylene Gas for light, heat and power, in the territory comprised in the radius of 18 miles from the Executive Mansion. If all the illuminating interests of this territory were capitalized upon the basis of net six per cent*earnings the total amount would exceed $10,000,000. Last year the Washington Gas Light Co. alone sold 900,000,000 cubic feet of gas. The entire output for light, including electricity and other illuminants, would be represented by over 1,200,000,000 cubic feet of gas. This company requires no charter from Congress. It has no costly system of pipes to construct. It will be ready for business as soon as the works, now in course of construction, are completed. The gas will be delivered from house to house in small steel cylinders of sufficient size to last an average dwelling one to two months. These cylinders will be attached to the present house pipes and changed from time to time without expense to the consumer. The light will be the cheapest and most beautiful in existence. sal During the short time the light has been exhibited hundreds of ap- plications for the gas have been received, for use in dwellings, stores and public buildings. The company will be able to underbid all competitors for street lighting. It will secure a large and highly profitable business in country residences. The gas can be manufactured and sold to a consumer at a price be- low possible competition and yet yield enormous profits to the company. Its uses for heat and power are probably more valuable even than for light. Results already obtained show that it possesses three times the power of ordinary gas. The practical use of the gas may be seen at No. 734 15th street (op- posite Hotel Page), where for the past week this large double house has been lighted by Acetylene. It will there be seen by actual comparison that the light is far more brilliant and beautiful than any other known light, and that its use is simple, practicable and economical. The subscription books of the company will be open as above stated and will be closed without notice. No other opportunity will be afford- ed to invest in this stock at the price now offered. = =} W.
