and useful reports They are at no loss to
indicate minor checks and obstacles to the
vigorous development OF trade; for exam
pie, the unconsciouablc delays and undis-
eliminating charges of some railways
which thwart the transport OF goods to
the pace OF shipment. They cite also
some fiscal burdens neither wisely nor
equitably adjusted. Finally they recom-
mend, properly enough, that the consular
system should he modified in the interest
OF the mercantile community, and that
distinct department in state schools should
be assigned to commercial education.
The vcritahle root, however Of the
trouble for the most part escapes their no.
tice, and In no case Is Il remedy suggested.
The lavish outlay and bold, speculative
projects which are inscpanblc from traffic
with remote countries, have become FAINT
liar to the English spirit, but they are dia-
mctrcally opposed 20 the wary economy
and passion for slow accumulation which
ate characteristic OF French merchants
Moreover, an exaggerated respect for OFF,
cial functions and the so-callcd liberal pro-
fessiOns, coupled with II secret contempt
for trade, must needs einasculate the COM
mcrcial class. When public opinion is set
right in this direction, aud the successful
merchant consents to train his son to bust
ness, we may expect tho brain and energy
of France to be attracted in larger measure
to the avenues of commerce.

Work and Not Tnlk Wanted

The Democratic members of the Com
mittee on Expenditures IN the War De-
partmcnt have done themselves great
credit and the country great service. But
they must not indulge in too much self
glorilication OH the strength of what has
already been accomplished. Until they
shall have finished the work of exposing
the rottcnness Of the War Department.
their duty is in the committee room. We
advise them not to make many speeches
until after they have reached the bottom
facts in half a dozen cases OF which they
