As ANOTHER illustration of the deeply
rooted dishonesty which just now so strik.
ingly pervades all classes Of the commun-
ity, it appears from late report of ex.
perts that the new state capitol building
at Albany, upon which some millions
have already been expended, has been
constructed of such worthless material
and in such careless and negligent way,
that, unless at once remedied, it will in
volye the pulling down of large portions
OF the structure almost as soon as finished.
Our own state capitol, we are happy to
believe. is an exception to the rule as to
such edifices, and is being built both eco
nomically and substantially. ti7

The government clerks in Washington
have been notified that hereafter they
must work daily until four o'clock in the
afternoon, instead Of TIN three O'CLOCK, as
has been the practice, and great deal of
grumbling Is the result. Now can any,
one advise as of any good reason why
government clerks should not work till
six o'clock, as clerks employed by private
individuals have to do? Why should
such distinction be made? e,..a.r. -.

The experiment of electing women to
the school board of the city of Boston is
generally regarded as beneficial. There
are six women now belonging to this
board. They were all elected by large
majorities, some of them almost unani-
mously. The board is to be reorganized.
and I'll e numb' rreduced from forty-eight
to twenty-four; but it is probable that all
the womenwill be reelected, for they have
shown themselves faithful, careful and
intelligent. Every school board needs
the advice and vigilance of woman in its
work, and if the law of Michigan does
not permit their election, it should be

THE HARBOR.

- The country is not in the mood for an,
unnecessary appropriation of public mon
eys. Still there are some matters In
which Congress should not be nigeardl,
In expanding money. Chief among these
are the improvements, of the harbors on
Our sea and lake coasts. The prosperity
ofthe country at large depends to great
extent upon the cheapness with which
the products of the country can be trans
ported from one part of the country to
another, and to foreign countries. To a
great extent the expense is controlled by
the risk which is incurred in shipping.
Make the risk less by improving the ship
ping routes and harbors alongthose routes
and the expense Of transportation will be
lessened proportionally, and to that ex-
. tent the great and vexed problem of
cheap transportation will be solved. In
no way can the government effect so
much, with so little outlay of money, as
In making these internal improvements.
Our own harbor here is a fair case in point.
Make a harbor of refuge here, such as
can be made by the immediate compile
ton of even the work which has been
planned here, and the risks of all the
lake fleet passing here would be lessened
materially, and they could afford, and
doubtless would in short time carry
freight at less rate, The necessities of
navigation demand the immediate COM
pletion of this work, and Congress will
not do its duty unless it makes the need
ed appropriation. The work should be
completed the coming year. There is
not q harbor on the whole lake coast
which is growing so rapidly in import
ance as this. Not only should an appro-
priation be made to complete the harbor
according to the original plans, but the
plans should be so amended as to make
the channel three hundred feet wide in
stead Of two hundred. When the sur
vey was first made by the government |
engineers,two hundred feet seemed all
that would be necessary to accomplish |
what was needed. Since that time Che +
boygan has rapidly increased in business
and commercial Importance. and the lake
commerce has come to appreciate more I
fully the importance of the place as bar
Dor OF refuge, and it is the opinion of
many of the best posted men upon this
subject, that to make the channel one
hundred feet wider would more than
double its usefulness. If the width is to ,
be Increased at all, and the necessities of ,
business will require it at no distant
lay, it is much cheaper to do it !
low than at future time, after
present work is finished. The atten-
ion Of the department viii doubt

)uryea, the engineer in charge, and it is j

BEFORE Henry Wilson went to Con-

He earned. the title by earnest and sue

the system on live and firm basis.
When he first came into public life about
'thirty-five years ago, there were
no arsenals in a decent condition.
hardly any arms, and the expense
ofouniforms and drills kept young men,
fromii entering the militia. This
was all changed by Mr.. Wilson, whose

state land office, and bearing date Noyem-
Der 81, appears in sundry state papers, an
nouncing the sale on the Goth inst. of
valuable mineral lands in the upper pen
insula. We have great confidence in our
present state administration, but there
would appear to have been grave error
committed in this instance. In the first
place, too short notice has been given.
and in the second an unfortunate season
OF the year hastbeen chosen for the sale.
AS everybody knows, all the lands in the
upper peninsula are long ere this deeply
buriedIin snow, and examination is quite
impossible. The lands may be worth $40
an acre, or may be worth $1,000, and SELL
ing them at this time and on so short
notice must necessarily exclude compe-
tition, and throw the property into the
hands of parties who by good luck happen
to know something of their real value. 1t
is to be hoped the interests of the state
will not be permitted to suffer by what
seems to have been der.-Euentnq
Netos.
i The Supreme Court of the United |
States lately decided that the bonds and |
interest of the Union Pacific railroad |
company must be paid by the United
States without the right of offsetting
such payments against services rendered
by the company to the government. 1t
has been claimed that bali, the compen-
sation due the road for carrying the
mails and military and Indian supplies
ought to be withheld in partial reim-
bursement for interest and bonds as
above. But the Supreme Court in effect
declares that it was the policy of the
government to build and support this
,oal, and that Congress deemed the SER
7ice to be rendered by the road as equal
o the interest to be paid on its bonds.
Therefore Congress never intended to
impose on the company the obligation to |
'ay current interest. This will make
many million dollars difference to the
AK payers of the countryside amount
ow involved is 100000, and is serious
EARNING against any future subsidy acts.
,hese mammoth corporations almost al
rays get the advantage, from their per-
etual lobbying around Congress and :
heir cunning in fixing the law.
