A Washington letter <o the Wa terbury (('omi.) American says: i 1'ron i (?me to time complain! ls . beard that Congressmen are dis posing of thc nllotmcni of fiovorn m en i publications which cudi mem- I ber receives under tho law by sidl ing them directly to second-hand j book dealer.-, The -caudal gets ill- j to thc new -papers and Hu n the tiling is slopped for a while, Ku ch member of Congress receives a cor- , tain number of copies of nil gov ernment publications, of which thousands arc sent out from Ibo government printing office every your. Some of tho volumes are very valuable, being illustrated with lim' colored plates, expensive map-, etc. For instance, u report of the ethnological bureau of the Smithsonian Institution, buhlishcd three year- ugo, is now bold at fl!!), j and was sold as high as $12 within a mouth after publication. Tho i nt cut ion of the la w which Hulkes I these allotments of books lo Con gressmen undoubtedly was that the publications should go to the public libraries in thc various States und districts. This i- the disposition made of them hy moat members. There are few, however, who arc said toseH?thc publications which thus come into their bands. Cases of this kind ure know n lo have occurred within Hie Inst few w eeks, one old book dealer having orders from certain members for all thc publications due them. Of course, these honorable gentleman will say that their constituents don't want that kind of publication, ami they might ns well sell them ns IO have them Ile around and fi nally go to the junk dealer, some one else getting the money. How - ever, it is very small business for members of Congress to be engaged in. -Ht. Augustine, Fla., is to bnve the larges, hotel in thc Hoiltll, OOO hy Kin feet, and costing )M.000,000.
