REORGANIZATION OF THE NAVY

Congress has promised to enter with untiring
seduity on the works of reform In redeeming
this pledge, we hope it will not confne its la
bors to the investigation of the details of petty
abuses in the civil departments-but that they
will extend their researches into all the branches
Of the Government. Above all, it is to be hoped
that their efforts will not be limited to the disco
very and publication of the evil, but that they
will also investigate its origin; that they will
not rest satisfied with knowledge of the exist
ence of the effect but will not only destroy the
abuse, but prevent its resuscitaton by an utter
eradication of the cause. Such a course alone
is worthy of statesmen.
The law of 1885, regulating the pay of the
navy, though in some few points defective, an
initiated at once mass of abuses, which had
prevailed, to greater or less extent, from the es
adjustment of that branch of the service. The
law, however, yet requires some amendments
and reform OF all the other laws in regard to
the Navy is required.
But whatcyc be the necessity Of laws, at
once simple, Ineligible, and comprehensive, it
Is equally necessary, that the agent intrusted
win their execution should be supplied with the
means OF enforcing their observance, and be
made distinctly responsible for tolerating in
fractions OF them. As the Navy Department is
now constituted, the Secretary can neither dis
charge efficiently all the duties which law and
necessity imposes on him, nor can he be held
TO strict accountability for many of the acts which
have apparently received his sanction
The necessity Of re organizing this Depart
ment has been frequently canvassed both in
Congress and in the public prints. The evils
growing out of the present system have become

WASHINGTON Cry, January 18th,

WAsHNGToN Cry, January 18th, 1912.
The remarks of the Hon. Mr.. Merrick, of your
good old State, in the Senate on Wednesday, have
won for him the golden opinions" of his political
friends and foes. They were dictated in that spirit
of patriotism and compromise which should charac-
terlze every representative of the people in the Halls
of Congress, where constitutional difficulties do not
present themselves. Opposite parties have united
in pouring forth their dcnuncatons, without mea-
sure, against the Exchequern and have vanly en-
deavored to Undue the public mind with a renewal Of
their uitrdiSnS but tins distinguished of Mary
land although the measure does not seem to meet with
his cordial appreciation, suggests that " all parties
make such concessions as would make SOME modi-
hcatons of an Exchcquer Board acccptabe."--'
Now, IN the name OF patriotism, If there is any sin
ccrity IN the piercing cries of embarrassment, ruin
and distress, which have been rung so necessarily by
ultra party leaders in both Houses of Congress- why
do they not unite upon some plan conducive to the
fcllct OF the people; The truth is, every days cX-
pericnce IN the history of our country, confirms the
opinion expressed by the immortal WAsaINGroN that

rbe unfinished business Of Friday was con-
,ned with unremittng industry on Saturday.
The yoe was first taken on the previous ques-
ian on the motion to refer petition respecting
me Bankrupt bill to the Committee, with in
.ructions TO report the bill with the Aoditica-
lions proposed on Friday And the House
dscided against putting the main question.
Mr. Boyd, of Kentucky, then presented an
,tber petition, respecting the same bill, and
moved lis reference TO the Committee, with in
,uctlons to report bill repeating the Bank
,upt Act, at two O'Clock on that day. Mr.. Cush-
mo raised question Of order, whether mem
her could present petition, move its reference
with instructions, and at the same time also
move the previous question. The question of
reception he considered to be first in order. If
tie course pursued by the member of Kentucky,
we're allowed, the same principle would admit
abolition petitions. II was shown, however,
that the proceedings OF Mr.. Boyd had not been
OF SO summary character. That before he
moved the previous question, motion had been
made to lay the whole matter on the table. The
usual intricaces of discussion involving several
points, took place at this stage of the business.
The Speaker finally gave his decision that
Mr.. Boyd was in order. An appeal was taken,
and the chair sustained. A motion was again
made 10 lay the whole subject on the table, and
was negatived 1t being now near two O'Clock,
the instructions were SO amended as to direct
the committee TO report instanter. A motion
was made by Mr. Granger, to lay on the table
which was negatived by majority of Is, This
was followed by motion from Mr., Ch,tenden
10 adjourn. But the House refused, by ma
jorty of 104. The main question was finally
put, and carried in the affirmative. AS soon as
it was announced, great disorder ensued, and
the Chair was addressed simultaneously from
various parts of the House. When we left the
Capitol, noisy conversation was in progress,
concerning the business then in order. 1t was
disputed whether the House was obliged to con
tinue the reception of petitions, or could com
mand the report from the Committee in accor-
dance with the words of the resolution.

MAINE LEGIsLATURE.-Gor. Fairfeid's Message
The public debt exclusive of the Indian and School
Funds, is about 81, 100000. Its gradual reduction
is recommended, for which the Governor rees-on
the repayment by the General Government Of the
expenses incurred on the frontier in lS39-on the
State portion Of the b" Massachusetts Claim, r-on a
ludicious sale of timber ON the public lands--on the
sums long due the Land Department---on the annual
tax for Government expenses and on rigid economy
throwing the expenses Of criminal justice upon the
counties the very measure strongly opposed by his
party iii this State last year.
He proceeds TO argue at length against the policy
of the Land Distribution Bill )" and concludes that
argument by proposing resolutions against the BILL
and the masnanlmous recommendation that the State
b" refuse 10 sanction il BY reception fine money"
He attributes the comparatively sound condition of
the banks OF the State to the judlcous legislative re-
strctions to which they have been subjected, and
suggests that they may be rendered still safer by
farther restrictions and BY the prohibition Of small
bills"
He advises the adoption Of some system with re-
gard to the sale OF public lands and the timber there
ON, which shall make them more advantageous to
the State, and prevent complaints of iavortsm He
recommends further guards upon the ballot-box and
the passage OF resolutions in favor OF fixing the cleo
ton of President upon the same day in all the States
He expresses his regret that no farther advance
has been made toward the settlement of the boundary
question: and INDUCES in an eloquent passage, urging
upon Maine to " use all the means which God and
nature have placed in her hands" to take and main
tain possession of the whole disputed territory.
He concludes by recommending change in the
time of meeting of the Legislature from the winter to
the summer and expressing the hope that the present
one may be short and economical Boston .7dr

earnestly asks the early attention of Congress
TO this subject Let ample iacill les be fur
ni,hed 10 the Secretary for the discharge of his
funt lions let the responsibility of all the acts
OF the Department rest upon him alone; and,
when il is discovered that abuses not only ex-
ist, but are tolerated, we will then know to
whom the fault is mputable, and who ought 10
be punished. Under the present system, as the
report informs US, the head Of the Department

his time 10 petty details Of business which he
Is compelled TO perform at once, that he has
scarcely leisure for the performance of the du-
Ties more appropriate TO his station. Again, he
is trammelled by his inability 10 determine with
precision the extent Of the rowers conferred on
him by law. The phraseology of the act estab-
fishing the Board of Commissioners is so sini-
lar TO that establishing the Office of the Secreta-
tary of the Navy, that il is is impossible TO dis

Congress ought to feel for the continued prosper

its attention earnestly and immediately TO the
suggestions which have been made in relation
to this subject.
