Turn ed up a state of affairs al ready that will cause a lot of trouble; for all the depart ments involved. If: has been known for a long time that the government was one of the bem and easiest things to work when the astute "sales man cHihe arodndand the revelations that have alrea dy been made to show that some ohe, has reaped a har vest in several of the depart ments over tLe furnishing of supplies., There has hereto fore been uot the s I i g h t F8t system about the pur chase of government supplies aurh us ink, irtucilage and Stationery. Theresult 13 that a lot of departments w e te getting the same brarirTof supplies and the prices ;made to the purchasing ngents va ried from ten to a hundred cent. Take ink alone, of whieh all the departments use barrels annua fly'. The highest prices paid by the government printing office, w.hi' h gave $4.32 per dozen quarts. The lowest price for identically the same ink was made by the post office which got it for $.31 a dozen quartp. Other supplies show ed tbesame wide range of pri ces. In the case, of ohoilage the Agricultural Department went to the limit in paying $3 per doZen Quarts. The oost office was' again the lowest priced departments, $1.65 for the adhehsivefluid. Tthe government printing of fice Used a bom made Muci lage, but this could not have been from motivisof econo my, for it cost 384 cents for the sainequality. T.heiteni of lead-pencils which are used in millions annually shows the same astonishing range of prices. The qualities' vary so much as to mKe a com parison difficult, but the pri cea range all the way from 72 cents to to 12J cents per .lozwn. There are about 150 different grades used but the same pencila will.be furnished ed" to various departments under different trade names and the orices will vary to coriespond. Tlr price of blot ting paper varies evn more that the articles' previously named. The war and navy departments are the -most v travagantm this regard;-as thy go as high as $7.74 per dozen reams in sheets of 19 x 24 inches. The post office gets its blotters for $4, and the department of ngrical ture pays from $5' 33 a n d upward. The matter of pens and writing paper of type-wri tern arid a' number of other thing's showed rust as start ling variations, The coatmis siori did not go into the pri ces na id at' the stationery room at theCapitol. If it hac there would hare been some interesting revelations, for ttere the sroyernmentgoesin for liigh grade Stationery, pen knives arid many things, such as f nchets and reticules which Congressmen are hard ly suppose to use. They are all charged up to the govern rrient however, and come in handy for th" vViVes of Con gresstnen and Senators. there is another great source of waste in all the de partments too.- It iseBteem- ed no crime to steal station ery from the departments arid there is hardly a" goyern merit clerk in the city w h o ever spends a nenriv for ink, pens, paper, and the like for home us or for his children it school. Some of the users of this sort of stolen goods have the grace to cnt off the names of their departments from the letter heads, before they are dedicated toprlvate use, but there are a remark able lot of school exercises composition and examina tion papers that are turned in to thi) school tenehershere with the Department of the Interior, War Department, and Department and Depart merit of Agricultuie and Geo ologicnl Survey sill on them ftnd'the very exercises them selves are written with gov ernment pencils and correct ed with government erasers. Washington is a nice town to iye, in a gi eat many respects if yon work for the govern ment. It is suggested that hereaf ter there shall he a central purchasing bureau that will deal in stationery and like supplies for all the depart ments, It is claimed that this will cheapen the cost of ma terial to' tlie government. But it will probably work the other way. In the first place it will add another bu reau to the circumlocution office. There will be the pur chasing agent who will get a good salary but whose sala ry will he nothing in compar ison to the u mount of graft that will be at its disposal There will be the additional machinery for distributing the supplies to the various departments and if! addition to all that there will be an in stant combination o1 inter ests outside the departments that will force the govern merit to pay the highest pos sible prices for all supplies and if nccessarj it will pool the result of the contracts to prevent cut throat bidding by Arms outsidethe combina tion. It is very ban! to beet the private firm that is out to do the government and it is not likely that the Keep Commission will devise a waj of doing it. The commission is not yet through wilh the purchasing system of the departments and thee may be still more startling revelations before they get through. It is under stood that they will next take a fall out of the Civil Service Commission. A REMEDY WITHOUT A PfiErt I find Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets more beneficial Minn A i v other remed v I ever used for stomach trouble, cays J. i Klote of(Emna, Mo, For any disorder of the stomach, biliouness or co'.'slipa- tion. thef,e Tablets are without td !-1. .? r -WMwr.' Prosperity Ahead and Wbjf News and Observer. Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Keene. both millionaires, are agreed that there is ho cloud oti the horizon- of prosperi ty. Mr. Keeno bases hU faith on the fact that the Ameri can fanner was never more prosperous than he is today, and so long as the American farmer is prospering, there is no ailment which the coun try cannot throw off of as similate. Our farms consti tute the back bone ot the eonntrv ana tnere isasreany and distinctly rioticable in crease in the agricultural re turns from year to year, in the quantity produced as well as in the market price ob tainable. Wheat, corn, hay and nearly all agricultural products are bringing more per bushel or bale from sea son to season, while gold is being produced in such abnn dant quantities that the pm chasinir nowei of a dollar Ih gradually, but preceptibly growing leas and less, against a gradual increase in proper tv value. Wall street i.s being benefitted with thereat ofthe country. Mr. Rockefeller savs: "The country is too prosperous at present to warrant any fear thatasudded or disastrous fevuldion of business is likely to occur. I can scarcely see a cloud on the financial hori zon, and certainly nothing that would vvarrnnt a fear of approaching trouble." Mr. Keene gives the reason whv there is no fear of flnan cial trouble the farmers .re getting good prices for their crops and "gold is being pro duced in' such abundant quan tits that the purchasing power of a dollar is gradual ly growing less and less." Here is testimony of the wis dom of the Chicago platform, which declared that prosper ity would not be general as long as t he purchasing pow er of the dollar was constant Iv jinnreeiatmir. There was no change in the tid of ad versify until the volume o primary money greatly in creased. Farm products re mained low until there was an influx of gold. In all prob abilitv we will have no ether great panic until there is a decrease in the gold supply which would make a dollar nnrchasn too mu'-h of the farmer's product and too much' of the laborer's muscle and skill.

Many cases have been permanently cured by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liv cr tablets. For wale by J. M Mor- Ram's Horn BlagU. There are too many men praying for peace with clench ed fists. , ' ... Do God's work arid He will pread your table. . . Gol's call consecrates us, but our service seals the con secration. It is wortb while, going through a lot of dust td get one diamond. Sometimes God takes away our message that we may lis ten to His music. It takes more than the "Amen" at the end to con vert a jingle into an anthem. Men who shine for their own glory generally throw j many gloomy shadow; God does not ask about man's attitude toward Him; le wants his relationship. It is a good deal easier to criticise the Bible than it is o crystaliza it into conduct. The enduement from Heav en may be waiting for our en dowment of things of earth. The poltiician may fool the eople but he meets disaster when he defies their God. Many a man think6 he is preaching the Gospel wb?n he is only working off his grouch. Many a man would be much more prcpossesing if he were ess anxious to be possess ing. Many a man who w o u 1 d moke a first rate candle is making a grana fizzle as an arc light. That is but an imperfect science, which studies a world of effect and negleotd their cause. The love of God is the only thing that will make y o u love all kinds of people all the time. The financial reports never take any sleep from the man whose treasures are in Heav en. The trouble with many tins iness men is that they are mistaking legality for right eousness. We go from strength to strength because we go from struggle to struggle. If you are going to be hap py in heaven you had better practice before you go. Many a man who would be a very patient monk makes but a petulent merchant. Tho friend of sinners suf fers most of all when, sinners turn their back on Him. A man has to learn to see od in little things before He shows bis greatness. The man who boasts of his b read th ol view often m i s- taks his ignorance for his opinions. Some people think they nre pious because because they always have hail a longing for the golden stnet. Yoa can bind yourself to your brother's need, but you cannot bind your Father to your sin. A righteous mart would rather be ridiculous than be wrong; but be would prefer to bo neither.
