Has almost exhausted its appropria-

gross is re-convened. Tho managers
set out in 1878-9 to mako it a perpetual

almost accomplished their purpose. It
is hardly possible that this
newest and most ravenous
barnacle on tho lowest bottom of tho
old Ship of State can over be scraped
ofi'. Its clerks and malingers have
poisonnl friends enough to control the
action of congress and in a brief
period a million dollars will bo asked

million more to begin work on the

been stupendous and HoIman may

eighteen operators at thu tables iu
the main ofileo to-day - -of whom
six are accomplished and efficient men
and nil others can handle messages sat-
isfactorily; that tho forco In Chlcnw
Cincinnati aud Now York has been in-
creased to-day in eacli oflloo and their
