SECRETARY MANNING
And the ssIsburkin2 sbfficArs-What Hs
Has d sdered 10 Prevent Frauds.


Secretary Manning, says the New York
the numerous disbursing officers of the
government at distance from Washing
ton, and this scrutiny showed him that a
number of these officers, pension agerts
and others, had the habit Of drawing for
large sums long before the time'at which
they had use for the money, and thus
kept in their own hands sums aPgregat-
ing into millions, which Mr.. Manning
thinks can much more properly remain
in the Treasury until the money is needed
for payments. For instance, 1t has been
the custom to allow a pension agent to
draw at the beginning of the fiscal year
for large part OF all that he would have
to pay during the coming six months.
This is now TO be stopped. An order has
been issued to disbursing officers to turn
all the funds in their h1nds into the near
est sub-treasuries, and these are to re-
port to the Treasury Department by tele-
graph that these sums have been actually
teposited. In this way Mr.. Manning can
make himself reasonably sure that there
are no hidden defalcations or cooking of
accounts; and he will thereafter open new
accounts, nd.advance money as it is re-
quired for payment He is of the opin-
ioa that much the greater part of the
payments of disburslng officers can be
more safely and economically made by
checks from the Treasury department,
and it is probable that he will eudeavor
to establish a system of this kind. 1t is
possible that he may need the help OF
Congress to accomplish this. An exam
inatiou of the manner in which the sink
ing fund has been managed shows that
in some years at least the charges have
been made, not only on what the govern
ment owed, but also on some parts of its
assets. so that the amount to be set apart
according to law has been calculated on
basis considerably too large. Thus
| aside from the old contention that the
sinking fund has been largely overpaid-
about which Mr.. Manning has not ex-
pressed any opinion as yet-n appears
| that the one per cent. set aside has beer
| upon the gross debt. without deductiug
the free cash in the Treasury, which has
at times amounted to what would have
made large deduction.

confidence in the Presidents action to-
ward tuem, but we're desirous of secur-
ing an expression from him relative to
the action of his subordinates. Presi-
dent Cleveland replied that he was in
favor of the enforcement of the law. The
Question of a mans military service en-
tered into the consideration of nearly
every applicant for Office, and was given
much weight. This was especially true
in the appointments to postofices. 1t
must always be understood, the Presi-
dent continued, that the man thus recon-
mended must be competent. Command
ers Burdett aud Kountz assured the
President that unless man was COM
petent there was no expectation that he
would be appointed. President Cleve-
land said that there were many instances
where men had fine military records and
were deserving, but they had not re-
ceived the training that wotild fit them
for positions. These, Of course, could
not be appointed.

A LENGTHY LETTER

Affairs.


DUBLIN, July 22.-Sir Charles Gavan
Duffy has written an open letter three
columns long to the Earl of Carnarvon,
the Lord Lieutenant. The letter is one
of congatulatibu to the Viceroy for his
adoption of an admirable and upright
policy t6ward the Queens subjects in
Ireland. Sir Charles submits to the
Lord Lieutenant that if the Marquis of
Salisbury's Cabinet undertakes to
restore Ireland's control of her
own local interests, ard to accord
her the same kind of Independence
as that enjoyed by the British colonies,
not single Irish member in the next
Parliament will refuse to support the
programme of his government. The
restoration of the Irish Legislature, Sir
Charles declares, is the only measure
that will ever succeed in rendering the
Irish at home and abroad content.
