The ground taken by these witrie8C8, Haas and t'eck- hartj, both of whom are ad vised by counnel, is that the conftbasno Jarwdiction to compennem io aoswer ana that their answers in i r h t tend t0 incriminate .tbem. flaasrend a long state- het to the court prepared of course by his counsel, and asked the jury to make it a matter of record, flow f a r tbe witnesses will go in tbeir reiogal to anw?r the ques tionsof the District At tor" ney is of course a question, but the ground no which they have based tbeir refusal makes it possible that the coui twill not compel them to answer. At the same time tbe'r refusal on the ground tbat tbeir answer might in criminate them, while it may be purely technical, renders their refusal tbe.more inter est ingard probably convince the iory that they know something worth revealing or perhaps better worth keep ing secret. In either case it makes the proceedings of the grand jnry more mysterious and interesting than ever, and serves to convince the cene'ral public that the dis trjct attorney is going to nave wnoie iot of trouble jn getting to the bottom of thecaee. He has promised that there is already suffi cient ground for criminal pro ceediugs thnt is only natural to a man in his position and Deoole will be more ready to belieye that hd is right after be has secured a conviction than before It seems however, that the trouble in the Department of Agriculture did not stop with the cotton leak. There have been other troubles un der the surface in the Depart ment and one of them was brought to light by the resig nation of Dr. Geo. T. Moor?, of tbe Bureau of Soils. Secre tary Wilson has complained rear after vear that be could Lot i?et mon of the scientific i " falibre rcqu5red by the De. partmehtfor the wages that to pay. 1 he government has been pretty liberal and the appropriations for the !) partment have about doub led sincp 1889 but.it appears that the private employers are still able to outbid the government. Dr. Moore while pound tbat was supposed to be highly benefleial as a soil .7 . . , . ciiriHier ana the aevicft was iateMW jrader Uatistt ty tbe Agrfculturol Department and a number of pamphlets written 6a tbe subject. It was about as ftood au adver tWment an a patent com pound could have though tbe fact that it wn patented by the department preluded tbe posibility of there being any commercial monopoly in it use. However, there was a eompany formed in West Chester, Pa which was jvil ling to take the risk and of fered Dr. Moore a substan tial salary and a good block of the company's stock to come with tbem. The Doctor thought over the proposi tion and dickered, with the department for a raise of eal ary. The negotiations drag ged on and the raiae was de ferred for a long time. Mean while a block' oi stock was made in the name of the Doc tor's wife and stood tha t way till a bearing was had the other day iiora a couple of men on an agricultural pa per when all the Tacts were brought out Dr. Moore wrote a letter to the Secretary ten dering bis resignation and stating tbat be did not want to embarrass thedepurtment bv continuing in his present position if it should be any embarrassment. Secretary Wilson did not say whether it was an embarrassment or hot but hs accepted the resix nation.. Iu addition to tbe fresh row in tbe Agricultural De partment, the Government is confronted with moretrou ble in the Government Print ing Office. Tbat big iristitu tion has just been treated to a very funny investigation by a special government com mission in connection with one of the tiiostextraagantly secret in all the numerous government in vestigations in vestigations in Washington, and its report is now in the hands of tbe executive but has not yet been given to the public. Now it seems howev er, that the government is tired of paying punting bills of tbe size recently presented to it, and as the appropria tibns demanded by the print ing office have jumped from 13,500,000 in the present year, a committee of which Senator T. C. Piatt was the chairman, has been appoint ed to ransack the affairs of the office and get a little re- dutrtion if possible in the size of the bills. This committee nas not jet bad a chance to meet. Rather it has had pleo ty of chance but the wtather nas been too warm and the weather has been too warm and tbe members have not gotten together, When they do, however, they will Cnd nice state of affairs. The gov ernmeut has been saddled with the printing of the re ports of Dr. Seldon Jack&on relative to the breeding o reindeer Alaska. These re ports are lengthy and pro- facely illustrated and the pub lie which' is deeply interested in the raising reindeer io Alas ka is somewhat limited. Ba the reports have been print ed under the authority of the Department o! the Interior and they have helped large lu tn ait-oil tlm TirmtiTifT hill the tniuhtefo1 th'e .tirteri "an revolution have also got ten the government to pub lib tbe reports of all their factional fights and feminine hair pulling which are even too long tor'the Washington papers to handle in detail and tho prititery has been made to reproduce all their portrait and tbe portraits of almost any one else that wasted to get into print. It is quite likely that this sort of thing will be stopped and Btopped suddenly, but it bas cost the government ey en millions in the last year, and it may be said incidental y that the same sort of ex- ravagance has run riot a good mnnv of the other gov ernment departments. If tbe same matter is handled sensi bly and in a businesslike way by the coming Congress it is quite possible tbat the ap propriation bills might be so utdown that the Kepubli cans would make good tbeir boast that the deficit could be met without resort to ad ditional tariff. But it is very doubtlul with all the private and influential interests at court if any thing will be forth coming from tue numerous investigations except a gen erona coat of white waBh.

The Washington Corres pondent of tho Raleigh Tost and the Winston correspon dent for several papers talk like there is something doing in this section concerning the revenue scandals, etc. These authorities say that there are two detectives from tbe Department of Justicein this section and tbat there will be sensations when tbe matters are disclosed in tbe Tedera) court, and that several offi cial, prominent and other wise, are involved. Tbe report is confirmed, so. tbe Winston papers say, by District attor ney Holton to tbe effect that the detectives are at work. There is another ratber sin gular fact connected with it. and tbat is that tbe investi gation Is being conducted by he Department of Justice under direction of the Attor ney Genera!. It is customa ry for every department to make its own investigations, and under this rule the inves igation would baye been made by the Revenue Depart meat, or rather Treasury De partment. But the reports involved so many revenue of fleers tbat tbe matter of in vestigation, it appears, was given into tbe bands of an other department. Anyway, there seems to be a little eometbingdoiog that may not be so pleasant to those involved as it was in the balmy days of a few months ago when some of them spoke of demanding an investigation. thedjAmond cube.
