We should be pleased 10 know how many


OF the honorable members Of Congress really


feel friendly to the enterprise in which we are


engaged BY publishing the Columbian Foun-


tain-lhe objects contemplated, and the man


ner and means Of their accomplishment We
rhould like to have such demonstration of


their friendship as would be palpable. We
should like to know if we can obtain place
in the basement Of the Capitol for the pur-
pose Of putting up our presses and cases
where we can be freed from rent and expense
Of lights and fuel, and stand in the place to
prescribe an antidote against the intoxicating
liquors now kept for sale. We think, if our
Fountain could be brought in closer contact
with some of the members they would like it
better. This modest request for a matter that
is likely to be public good, we suppose, if
granted, ought TO be sustained by public opin-
ion, on /" the ground of public policy" just
as readily as are those establishments for SELL
ing the intoxicating liquors. Well, we hope
to be informed in reference to these things.
