In the District of Columbia investigation,
Yesterday, there was offered some of the most
damaging testimony against the Ring that has
yet been found. In all previous discussions
as to measurements, that all-knOwing person,
"the Board Engineer" has been cited as
conclusive authority. If sidewalk charged
as an eight-feet work was found to measure
but six, it was credited at once to the Board
Engineer who had said that it was eight feet
That settledit. But the Congressional Commit
tee have put an expert on the track of the
Board Engineer; and he shows an astonishing
amount of fraud. The contractors have been
in many instances overpaid, and the United
States Government has been overcharged for
the work done by the Board of Public Works.
This has been done by false measurements
charging twice for the same work. and by
making charges for work not done at all
These overcharges against the General Gov
eminent vary in amount, some being $4,000
S17, 000 and in one instance, at least, as high
as $4,000. The expert only examined about
five per cent of the work done; if the thefts
on the remainder are in like proportion, the
robbery of the United States Government is
something enormous.

The succession to tho Presidency of the
Academy of Design honorably and naturally
passes from Quincy Ward to Worthington
Whittredge. The artists and the art lovers of
the country viii recognize it as every way
worthy selection. They will not regard
with equal complacency the action OF
the Academy on the candidates for member
ship. Several of those rejected hold rank in
the art world by q title better, and better
recognized, than that of half the men who
voted on their applications. Care in admitting
to membership is one thing; votes like those
of yesterday are quite another.
