THE HOT SITJNGS. CoiiRr? to be aktl fur fXore Mouej for Its Inifiroverneiit. Special to the FeoUne!. Wamiix'jton, Feb. is The Supreme Ccurt in ls7; decidel that the Hot Spring of Arkaneas were the property cf the United State?, and ever since they heve been a con stant expense and trcüb. There is one bill before Congress now to ftppropria'e-iö.OOO to liniab walling in Iho Hot Springs Crtek. a job Tvhich it rras orig inally int cided should only cost abent ySO, (X)0, the amount cf money col ected by the Government from tLo Springs, bat which has already cost a great deal more. One hundred thousand dolUrs wa3 appro priated two 3 eais ago to build an army and navy hospital at the Spring?. The specifica tions under which the contract wag let called for five buildiDg?, one of them being a bath house. The cDntrect was let for S$G,.T5.", the bath-house to cost V2 '0. None of the buildings are finished. The bath house is not even commeoceJ. and now there is .1 call f or another large sum "to furnish" these buildings. There are two other bilh before Congress on Hot Springs, the last one providing $100, 000 to bny the furniture and the bath houses on the reservation, and have the Secretary of the Interior lease cut the houses to the highest bidder. This bill also provides that a mammoth granit bath house shall be erected by the Secretary cf the Interior on the reservation, having four grades of bath ing establishments in it. ranging in price from forty cent3 per bath to free baths, thus putting the I'nitod States Government in po sition as a bathhouse keeper. It also pro vides for a reservoir at the ba3 of Hot Springs Mountain, into which the hot water shall be carried, and from thence le fur nished to the bath-houEes. Of course the water would have to be pumped up from this reservoir at the base of the mountain, when it wool i. flow into them from moft of the spring?, and the pumping is to be provided for at a coit of $10,000. Un der the regulations cf the Inte rior Department no sleeping rooms were allowed in the bath-houses, but a num ber were furnished, f.nd now the United States is requested to buy this old furniture. Fos3ibly the Hot Spnnas people also have some old clothes they may want to tell, and these should be included in the bill, so that besides a bath house Uncle Sara could set up an "old clo' ttore as well as a dilapidated furniture depot. It is believed to be about time for this Hot Sprir gs business to stnn. Voting Army Ottiveis ou til'k Leave. Special to the Sentinel.

"Fint, tha Democrats are always more liberal in con tributions than the Republicans; second, the change of perty power maies way for the oce-eeekers. Of course, men who are looking forward for place will contribute liberally." 'Can you disburse that amount of moey judiciously?" I aked. "Yes, just about that amount. We will not want for the places to epend the money, and let we will not want for the cash with t wnich to supply what is eeeded.

Experience had shown that at ttmpts to relieve distress by inaugurating publ.'c improvements were nnwis9. Toe failure of the efforts mide by France fcr relief on vast public works pointed to au illustration.
