TCafihlnaton correspondence: In a very short while the firm of "Uncle Sam »t Bop." will be dissolved. The business will still be conducted at the old stand, but new managers will come in and take the places of those now in control. This iB the mightiest business transfer the world has ever, seen. No other nation has such vast interests, measured by the amount of money or number of people involved. Great Britain would be an exception to this if all the operations of that empire were managed from the central seat of government in London, but they are not. Three-fourths of the empire is colonial, under home rule, except in eertain matters This is the only nation which do: s a "business" every year of $500,000,000. Fix an adequate conception of a sum of money like this in your mind, if you can. Tho chances are you can't. The greatest business house in the world, that of the Armours, of Chi­ cago, handles a million dollars a week; the greatest railway system, the Penn­ sylvania, including all lines, $3,000,000 a week. Uncle Sam's transactions in actual expenditures reach the astonish­ ing total of about $10,000,000 a week. This amount must necessarily increase A cr.n.vr oovcnNjcnrr BUBBAU as the years go by. Not only is the country growing at a prodigious rate, but the functions of government are be­ ing extended to fields unheard and un- thought of a few years ago. Here is a city of 250,000 souls built .up wholly by government Take away from Washington the public employ­ ment and there woulu be little left. Every iiiiru iauiiiy in iowu urawtt ili support from the Government pay-roll and the other two live by supplying th% wants of the first. Stand on one of the main thoroughfares of the capital at 6:4$. in the morning and you fail to see the throngs of people rushing to their work which are present at that hour on the streets of other cities. But just two hours later every sidewalk will be trav-. ersed by crowds of men and women? moving toward the doors of the great; Government departments. Five min­ utes after 9 the streets are almost de­ serted. Twenty-five hundred people have gone to their desks in the Treas­ ury Department, nearly two thousand in the Pensioo office, two thousand in the big War, State and Navy Building, a thousand in the Interior Department, another thousand in the. Government Printing Office, and thousands more iu the other departments and bureaus. The visitor to Washington finds a con­ vincing object lesson in the immensity of his Government, for after he has made a tour of the well-known depart­ ments and institutions, traversed their long corridors and seen literal acres of desks and square rods of open ledgers and records, he stumbles upon many other Government bureaus in unex- Eected places. All over the city he finds Ig buildings rented by Uncle Sam and converted into hives for the transaction of his almost infinite business. Scat­ tered about each of the principal de- pa* tnients are from three to a dozen rented boUdiafts into which the Imstns-- of the bureau has overflown after filling the sr aoe originally set apart for it from cellar to garret. To tell the truth, the Government is rapidly outgrowing all of its quarters and many of its methods. The Capitol isn't big enough, notwithstanding the recent building of a million-dollar addi­ tion in the shape of terrace, and adja­ cent buildings are bought or rented by Congress, 3.*he Census Office, which MARKET REPORTS, CHICAGO.

Imagine a Cabinet officer sitting down to his desk, as the Secretary of the In­ terior does every morning, w.th pigeon­ holes opening before him with such marks as "pension?," "railroads," "pub­ lic lands," "Indians," "census," "pat­ ents," "education."

The Secretary of the Interior has Charge of the Geological Survey of the great national parks, of irrigation of arid lands,of distribution of funds to ag­ ricultural and mechanical colleges in the States and Territories, of public docu­ ments, and of certain hospitals and eleemosynary institutions, lie also ex­ ercises certain_powers and duties in relation to the Territories of the United States. And the Secretary of the In­ terior is a mere human! As the Government expands It is evi­ dent we. must increase the number of our departments anl of their responsi­ ble heads or Cabinet officers. Every one of the present Secretaries is sadlv overworked. A crowd of people is always waiting to see him. A aesk full of letters and documents remains untouched.

The White House isn't big enough and will have to be enlarged. The Treasury, which was big enough for all the offices under its control twenty-five years ago, is now dreadfully crowded, though bureau after Lureau has moved out and found quarters else­ where. The Congressional or National Library, now housed in the Capitol, is one of the strangest Jumbles of liter­ ature and rubbish you ever saw, with books piled all over the floors and filling every nook and cranny. The finest library building in the world will soon be ready for its occupancy. To describe for you even in the most general and rapid way the great variety of functions tiiied by Government would | take pages instead of columns of type. I Take, for example, the Department of I the Interior. It has become one of the f most prodigious of all the Government bureaus. For a quarter of a century it has been the dump-heap into which everything that could not be elsewhere attached has been thrown. The result is that it has grown to cumbersome pro­ portions. It is unwieldy, and a move­ ment is on foot to take many of its bureaus and organize them into a new department to be called the Department of Commerce. This would mean a new Cabinet officer, and when the office is created and filled its incumbent wilj find plenty to do. The Secretary of the Interior has un­ der his direction so many huge Govern­ ment concerns that he can give little or no attention to any of them. Each, therefore, becomes a sort of independ­ ent bureau, nominally controlled by the Secretary, but actually "running wild." The tradition and organisation of the department are such that the J out lee Wat Done. - Camillo di Cavour, Italy's famous statesman, is described by some one whom he visited with his parents when he was a small boy, as being a winning little fellow, with a bright, determined face. He wan full of childish froli&and fun, and was very entertaining in his ways. He wore a little red coat which gave him a droll, and at the same time, a decided look. At incident which marked the visit as peculiarly characteristic of the man whose dominant quality was energy, whose motto was, "The direct way is the sure way," and who, in administering the Government had never overmuch respect for the letter of the law, but would tolerate no in­ fringement of the spirit of it. He was six years old when be vis­ ited the grandfather of M. de La Bive, who writes: "On his arrival be was UQder a good Seal of- excik^ioat. He an­ nounced to my grandfather that the postmaster bad furnished them with poor,, inexcusably poor horses, and that he ought to be dismissed. "f'l incist upon his being dismissed,' Camillo repeated gravely. * 'But,' said my grandfather, 4I cannot dismiss him. The first syndic is the only one who has the right to dismiss the postmaster.' « 'Then I must see the first syndic,' said Camillo. * 'You shall have an audience with htm to-morrow,' said my grandfather, and he wrote Ws friend, M. Schmidtmeyer, the first syndic, tell­ ing him he was going to send him 'an amusing little man.' The next day the little C. our ap­ peared at M. Schmidtmeyer's, and was received with proper ceremony and gravity. "With perfect composure, Camillo made three profound bows, stated his complaint, and asked for judgment.. On his return as soon as he saw my grandfather he called out, 'Well, he will be dismissed.' ̂ -Youth's Com: panion. Llwly Competition. A man recently offered to carry the malls between Boonsborough and Keedysvilie, Md., daily, except Sun­ day, free of charge. The distance between the two towns is about three miles, and the bidder thought that he bid low enough to secure the contract. It was not awarded to him, however, for another man offeied to do the work for afi annual com­ pensation of one cent, and to him tho contract was awarded. The man who -offered to deliver the mail free of charge is now wondering why he was not permitted to do so. HOW'M Your Proportion? There are two fixed rules for pro­ portioning the human form; just two. They are that eight heads (that is, skull lengths), make the total height of the figure and that the invariable center of the total length of the whole figure should be the front ter- mi natioA ̂ ̂ )ie* lowest i^rt ot ̂ A FeMrful;.ffM0. Henry Smith, the Paris (Tex.) negro who first abused then .killed 4-year-old Myrtle Vance, has expiatei in part hi* awful crime by death at the stake. Ever since the perpetration of his awftil crime the city ani entire surrounding country has been in a wild frenzy of ex­ citement. When the news came that he had been captured near Hope, Ark., that he bad been identified by B. B. Sturgeon, James T. Hicks and many others of the Paris searching party, the city was wild with joy over the appre­ hension of the brute. Hundreds of people poured into the city from the adjoining country, and the word passed from lip to lip that the punjsh- fnent of the fiend should fit the crime- that death by fire was the penalty fimith should pay. The curious and sympa­ thetic alike came on train and wagons, on horse and on foot, io see ii ihe frail mind of mind could think of a way to sufficiently punish the perpetrator of so terrible a crime. "Whisky shops were closed, unruly mobs were dispersed, schools were dismissed by a proclama­ tion from the. Mayor, and everything was done in a business-like manner. Offi- J t u _ 4-^ CTJIH HTTW (UB TTUJ OUVI V VU quell the almost riot. So law was laid aside, and the citizens took into their own hands the inhuman beast and burned him at the stakfi. Never before since the days of the Spanish inquisi­ tion, when cruelty was law, has there been such terrible, punishment meted out to any man; but so horrible was the crime, in its magnitude t-o inhuman and so ghastly, that the punishment inflicted upon him*was Infinitely small in com­ parison. He was brought through Texarbana, where 5,000 people awaited the train, anxious to see a man who should re­ ceive the fate of Ed Coy. At that place speeches were made by prominent Paris citizens, who asked that the prisoner be not molested by Texarkana people, but that the g\iard ba allowed to deliver him up to the outraged an3 indignant citizens of Paris. Arriving in Paris, the train was met by a surging mass of humanity 10,000 strong. The negro "was GSCv.iGu through iuG city eg that all might see the most inhuman mon­ ster known in current history. Smith was placed upon a scaffold six feet square and ten feet high, securely bound, within view of all the beholders. Tortured by Kod-Hot Irons. Here the victim was tortured for fifty minutes by red-hot iron brands thrust against his quivering body. Commenc­ ing at the feet the brands were placed against him inch ty inch until they were thrust against the face. Then, being apparently dead, kerosene was poured upon him, cottonseei hulls placed be­ neath him and set on fire. In less time than it takes to relate it the tortured man was wafted beyond the grave to another fire hotter and more terrible than the one just experienced. The cause of the crime was that Hen­ ry Vance when a deputy policeman in the course of h is du 'y was cal led to ar- ; rest Henry Kmith for being drunk and disorderly. The negro was unruly and Vance was forced to use h s club. The negro swore vengeance and several times assaulted Vance. In his greed for revenge he last Thursday grabbed up the little girl and coromitted the as­ sault; then tore the child limb from limb. The father is prostrated' with grief and the mother lies at death's door, but she lived to see the slayer of her innocent babe suffer the most hor­ rible death that could be conceived. The negro for a long time after start­ ing on the journey to Paris did not ideal­ ize his plight. At last when told he must die by slow torture he begged for protection. What protection could he get with thousands of people from Hope to Paris demanding his life? He was willing to be shot and wanted Marshal Shanklin, of Paris, to shoot him. He pleaded and writhed in bodily and men­ tal pain in anticipation. Scarcely had the train reached Paris than this torture commenced. His clothes were torn off pieoftmeal and scattered in the crowd* people catching the shreds and putting them away as mementos. The child's father, her brother and two uncles then gathered a bout the negro as he lay fast­ ened to the torture platform and thrust the hot irons info his quivering flesh. Every groan lrorn the fiend, every contortion of his body, was cheered by the thickly packed crowd of 10,000 peo­ ple. After burning the feet and legs the hot irons were rolled up and down Smith's stomach, back and arms. Then the eyes were burned out and irons were thrust down his throat. The men of the Vance family having wreaked vengeance, the crowd piled all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaffold, poured oil on it and eet it afire. The nettro rolled-.and wriggled" and tossed out of the mass, only to be pushed back lj»y the people nearest him. He tossed out again and wp roped and pulled^ back. Hundreds of people turned aWayV but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. . Every train that came in was loaded to its utmost capacity, and there were demands at many points for special trains to bring people to see the punish­ ment of a fiend for an unparalleled orime, and when the news of the burn­ ing went over the country like wildfire at every country town anvils boomed forth the announcement. Gov. Hogg telegraphed the officials at Lamar to protect the negro, Henry Smith, from mob violence, and after hearing, of Smith's fate wired them to take the names of the parties principally con­ cerned in the affair for prosecution. pelvia. liMt Words of Famous Men.

Carlisle and l'addock, Aldr ch and Quay, Bate and Allen, Jones(Nev.) and.Saimders, Pasco and Casey, Vatice and Warren. The bill is one passed by the House of Bepresentatives on June 9, 1892, with various Ben ate amendments thereto. Senator Wokott, af Colorado, accord­ ing to a Waaiim£ton correspondent, op­ posed the anoption bill as not sanc­ tioned by the const!'ution. as vicious in principle, calculated to work injury to the people in whose tnterest.it professed to be framed. The anti-trust iaw of a few years ago ought to be a lesson to Senators. That law had been long enough in force to show that it in no wise affected prices. He did not care to discuss the anomaly presented by such a situ at'on. Senator Gray, of Delaware, argued, on constitu­ tional grounds, auainst the bill. In his opinion the measure would overturn the American form of government and throw down every barrier between ab­ solute power and the liberty of the citi­ zen--the liberty of contract on which civilization, in a large measure, depend­ ed. Senator H gginsof Delaware made an argument in favor ot the bill. He argued that the system of "future deal­ ings" as practiced in the exchanges was a continental and world-wide interfer­ ence with the lawof supply and demand, and that under it the producers of the country were made the sport of those who chose to gambie in their products. Sen­ ator Harris ot Tennessee made a state­ ment of the reasons which controlled his vote. He regarded the measure as palpable and admitted fraud on the con­ stitution. It would destroy home rule, local self-government, and the last ves­ tige of the reserved rights of the States. Senator Vest spoke of the action of the House of Representatives of the Mis­ souri Legislatute instructing the United States Senator from that State to vote for the bill and said that he preferred his own nelf-rospect to personal or po­ litical applause. There was sunshine In other places besides Washington City; and the air of the prairies was purer than that of the Senate chamber. He •hould therefore \ote against the bill. WORST OP THE SEASON. A Howling Qllzsard Sweeps Through tho Morthwest. A blizzard has raged all over' the Northwest, and, according to a late dis­ patch from St. Pau\ is st»ll at it. Re­ ports from the country further to the northwest are meager owing to the prostration of the wires by the storm. It has moved rapidly from Denver in a northeaster y direction, accompanied by snow and high winds. At # o'clock Tuesday night at Helena it was 48 be­ low zero, wnile at Missoula, a little over a hundred miles north, it was 10 degrees atove. At the former place there was a high wind from the west. Missoula was simultaneously catching a small hurricane from the east. It was 54 below in Helena at 6 a. m. All through Montana, with the exception of one point, the cold was intense. In Portland it was 25 above, and In St. Paul 15. In Duluth it was 6 below, Winnipeg 10, and Jamestown 9, while at Fergus Falls, Grand Forks, and Fargo it was fully twenty degrees warmer, with high winds from a differ­ ent point in each one of the six places. The snowfall in the Northwest was not enough to cause serious delays, but the high winds caused drifts that kept back through trains three or four hours. Beports from the lines running north to the lakes and east to Chicago show uniform weather, with high winds, causing the snow to drift quite badly. Late dispatches give additional de­ tails of the blizzard, which seems to have been very severe and general. Fine snow fillB the air at Benson, Minn., and business has been abandoned, though it is not cold there. Mankato reports a blizzard howling and temper­ ature rapidly falling. A sudden change of wind at Fergus Falls, Minn., was followed by a quick drop from 15 above to io below zero. Blinding fine snow at that place has compelled a suspen­ sion of business, and as the tempera­ ture is rapidly growing colder much suffering is feared., -AH tfoins have been abandoned at Watertown, S. IX, on account of the storm. The blizzard is now raging throughout Southern Minnesota, and mercury rapidly fall­ ing. At 7 o'clock ths signal-service ob­ server in St. Paul reported 10 below zero. At the same time it was 20 below at Pierre, S. D.; 26 below at Moorhead, Minn.; 32 below at St. Vincent, Minn., and Bismarck, N. D.; 30 below at Win­ nipeg; and 38 below at Helena, Mont. The wind at that hour was blowing from SENAF* A N D H O U S E O P R S P l g g * .

The Senate got rid Tuesday of the legis­ lative in cubns under which It has labored since the first day of the session. The anti- option hill reached the point at which voting iieaan at 3:15 p. nt. The first vote was on the awendmsntoffered by Mr! Vilas (Wis.) to the George substitute, and the amendment was rejected--yeas 81; nays. 60. Then the George substitute itself was rejected--yeas, 19; nays, 51. And finally the bill was passed by a vote of 45 to 29 There were many members of the House of Kepreaoota lives, at times almost as many of them as there were Senators, present.in the Senate chamber during the vets* and the preliminary discussion of the bill, and-the deopest Interest «was manifested in the proceedings as well on the floor as in the crowded galleries. Representative I)eAr- mond (Ma) put a little spice into the pro­ ceedings of the House by makln { an at­ tack upon the civil-service law. Then a controversy as to the Democracy of Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) and Mr. Bland (Mo) enter­ tained the House for rwhlle. The House resumed, in committee of the whole, the consideration of the sundry civil aporopria- tion bill. The committee then returned to the section relative to nubile fcuiHIngs. The next order to be taken up was that which appropriates f r rivers and hartrors. Ths fortification bill was the Brst of the general bills to come before the Senate Wednesday, and it was passed after a rather interesting discussion on tbp subject of const fortifications. The army appropria­ tion bill was then taken up and was passed with but a single amendment--Increasing the-monthly pay of sergeants of the army. The District of Colombia bill came next in order. All the committee amendments were agreed to, except one that was reserved for action Thursday looking to the erection of a $500,000 mu­ nicipal building in Washington city. The attention of the House was centered upon one item of the sundry civil appropriation bill -That item was one appropriating 116,000,000 for carrying on the contracts al­ ready entered into for the improve- • meut of rivers and harbori The jurisdictional authority of the Committee on Appropriations was called into ques­ tion. It was contended that the appropri­ ations should have bean reported to the committee on harbors, but although Mr. Holman was foremost of those who mode this contention airainst the power of the committee of which he was chairmai. that committee came out victorious and the item .was decided to be a proper one. With­ out finally acting on the bill the House .ad­ journed; > Thursday morning the an tl-opt Ion bill was the center Of Interest In the HouSe. The opponents of the legislation were en the alert, and the instant that Mr. Hatch made bis motion for the conference, Mr. Bynnm, of Indiana, was acidretsing the Speaker, with a point uf order, that the Senate amendments must first be con­ sidered in committee of tho whole. 3ohn Davenport anil the Federal election laws' then occupied the attention of the House, drought forward by an amendment offered by Mr. Fitch, of New York to the sundry civil bHl.
