is blue stone, and was paid for long ago by
the government There are numerous other
frauds noticed by Mr.. Roosevelt and he, as
he remarks, passed over many items in order
not to be unnecessarily tedious He adds =
when the Board want to get as much as pos
sible from the United States they present their
operations in one way; when they want to
extract little more from the people they put
them in very different one. They make the
amount small when talking to the people, but
when they come to us and ask us to appro-
pirate money they make it three times as
large" 1t is clear the affairs of the District of
Columbia, and of the Board of Public Works
in particular, need overhauling. There is a
corrupt ring that needs exploiting. Will Con-
gress undertake the work? There must be

Spain cannot afford to disregard. The
proclamation of the Spanish Republic should
be accompanied by the proclamation of the

Another Tammany-The Washington
Board Of Public Works.

From the speech Of Mr.. Robert B. Roose-
welt, one of the Representatives in Congress
from this city, on the operations Of the Wash
ington Board Of Public Works, after the man.
ner of the late Tammany Ring, it is evident
that this republican conclave ct the capital
bids fair to eclipse in frauds its democratic
prototype of New York. Mr. Roosevelt, after
going through the various items Of overcharges
for work, charges for work not done or that
had been accounted for before and analysing
the Misrepresentation and thimble-rigging of
figures by the Board of Works, sums up one
portion of the frauds by saying: 1.-THE skill
of these gentlemen in manipulating figures
does not seem to be equal to their skill
in managing the public property in
this District" 1t appears that the
Board make the debt they have con-
tracted for street paving, grading, sew
erage and other improvements amount
to six millions Of dollars, but Mr.. Roosevelt
shows the debt incurred is sixteen millions, in
stead of six. Congress appropriated, few
weeks ago, one million two hundred and forty
thousand dollars as the share which the United
States should pay for improvements in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. This amount is based upon
the theory that the national government
should pay five-sixths Of the cost of the work
along the public property and a statement of
such work was submitted by the Board to the
President AS an example of the way in which
this Board has cheated the government Mr..
Roosevelt gives some figures. They charge
for twelve-inch tile sewer one dollar and
forty cents, and yet they demand of the United
States government in every one of their speci-
fications five dollars 'Five dollars in place
of one dollar and forty cents foot!" Mr..
Roosevelt exclaims. "Nothing is too great
and nothing is too small with this Board of
Works." CURLING they put down at one dol
Lar and twenty-five cents, while they charge
the United States one dollar and Fifty cents.
They paid fifteen cents q yard for removing
the cobble-stone pavement on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and charged the govern
ment twenty cents. The United States is
charged thirteen thousand four hundred and
ninety-one dollars for concrete pavement
on Fifth street along tho square. and there y

Counting the Electoral Vote-A system
Full Of Dangers.

C0AA VI AuhScESs
The vote of the Electoral College for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States
will be counted tomorrow in the presence of
both houses of Congress. The disturbed con-
dition of Louisiana and the seeming impossi-
bility Of securing ON honest election in that
State invest the occasion with an interest like
that which was felt in the question of counting
the vote of Georgia four years ago. Taking
the ground that Georgia was unrepresented
in Congress, General Butler was in favor of
by the majority, and it was counted, because
it did not change the result Now Louisiana
comes with two returns-one representing that
the State voted for Grant and the other that it
voted for Greeley. In either case the general
effect would be the same, for Grants election
does not depend upon the vote of Louisiana.
But, like the point which was raised in the
case of Georgia, these diverse returns ore
likely to be the occasion of some trouble to-
morrow. With an immense republican ma
jority in both houses there is no danger that
the voice of the people will not be respected;
stance. if the liberal and democratic, instead
of the republican party, had been triumph
ant in the elections, there might be
endless trouble, and, perhaps, revolution.
The vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent might not be counted at oil by o
factious majority, defending itself behind
technicalities and quibbles and the day for
the Inauguration of the Executive would pass
without his election being officially declared,
or, even worse than an outrage 80 fragrant, his
unsuccessful competitor might receive the
sanction of Congress in assuming the Presi-
dency. The machinery for tho election of
our Presidents, as it is prescribed by the con-
stitution, is not only exceedingly cumbrous,
but it opens the door to great wrongs in times
of agitation. Even conspiracy on the part
Of the messengers who carry the votes of the
States to Washington not to deliver the re-
turns into the hands Of the President of the
Senate, or the refusal of the Electoral College
to vote, might be made an excuse for overturn.
ing the law and the constitution and defeating
the will Of the people. In other ways could
like results be accomplished. These recent
instances, Georgia four years ago, and the
scenes which took place at the Capitol at that
time, and Louisiana now, and the incidents
which may ensue tomorrow, show the neces-
sity Of change in the method of eecting the
President of the Republic Sooner or later
we shall have to resort to the direct vote of the
people, and Congress ought to mature the plan
at once and make it part of the organic law,
