fiscal ycsf shall become available,
How this state of affaiis has been
broaght about is easy to see. There is
ro doubt that funds have been largely
used to promote the election of the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency.
For the purpose of carrying favor and
gaining votes, the salaries of employees
in various states have been largely in
creased. Thus, in one instance, man
in the statistical department out in
Kansas had his salary raised from $500
TO $4,000, while bis chef in the Bu-
reau at Washington only gets 81 500.
This wholesale distribution of the
funds of the department for political
purposes soon ran away with the ap
preparation, and TO this as much as any
other cause the bankrupt condition of
the Agricultural Bureau is to be attrib-
uted. The original intent of Congress
in appropriating money for the distri-
button Of seeds was to buy rare grains
beyond the reach of ordinary agricul-
turists and so distribute them as to i'm.
prove the character Of our crop. In
stead of this, however, the recent Com.
miss oner bought Tor free distribution
ordinary seeds to be found in every
seed store in the country. The true
character of these common seeds was
hidden under high sounding names and
they were sent by Congressman broad.
cast throughout their districts for the
purpose of making votes. For the last
five year the bureau has not introduced
a single new grain of any value, moi
has it done one thing to aid the true
interests of agriculture.

The monument to Frederick Lauer,
the deceased brewer Of Reading, the
gift Of the United States Brewers
Congress to the city of Reading, was
unveiled in the City Park Of Reading,
on Saturday. The monument is six
teen feet high, and represents Lauer
full sized, standing uncovered, manu-
script in hand, delivering speech.
This is the first instance on record in this
country where member OF the brew
ing interest has been awarded by q
memorial. The monument contains
two significant inscriptions: "Iis zeal
sprung from his firm conviction that
in striving TO advance the brewing
trade he was working for the cause of
national temperance" "Let his ex.
ample tell the brewers Of this country
to maintain good fellowship, TO pre-.
serve their association and to defend
their rights" Among the public
bodies participating in the ceremonies
were the United States Brewers Cong
ress, which Lauer organized, being its

0verhauling the Republican Rascals.

In ordering a searching inquiry into
the history of the so-called repairs up
on the third-rate man-of-war Mohican,
Secretary Whitney begins task en-
tirely in the interest of truth and just
ice We believe that he is the man to
carry through the work.
The wooden ship Mohican, of 10000
tons displacement, was ordered to the
Mare Island Navy Yard in 1875 for
repairs and reconstruction upon the
Robbersonian plan. This vessal was
then about fourteen years old 1t had
originally cost $S33,000 to build her.
During the six years Immediately pre-
ceding the time when Secor Robber-
son took the Mohican in hand, more
than $237, 900 had been expended 10
repairs on her hull, and more than
1887, 900 on her boilers and machin-
cry. This ought to have left the ship
in fair condition, to say the least but
Robberson took her out of commission
and sent her to Mare Island to be over,
hanlel anew. The process has been
going on for thirteen years under

Uonsti tutional Amendment.

Two years ago Senator Humes read
in his place an amendment to section
five, article FIVE of tho constitution.
This section says "whenever county
shall contain 10000 inhabitants it shall
constitute separate Judicial district,
and shall elect one Judge learned in the
law 1t then provides for the elec-
tion of additional judges and the form
ing of other counties into convenient
single districts or attaching them to
contiguous district Senator Humes'
amendment provided that whenever
county shall have 10000 inhabitants
it shall constitute a separate judicial
district" .r.,
This session he again introduced
his amendment, still farther modifying
the language with the assistance OF
Senator Wolverton, so as to read "when-
ever county shall have 60 900 inhabi
tants it may constitute separate Judi
cial district, and forming all counties
that do not constitute separate districts
into separate convenient districts. This
amendment finally passed the Senate
last Thursday and is now in the house
committe on constitutional reform,
the chairman Of which, Mr.. Lowry, is
its warm friend. The indication there
fore is that it will pass the house.
To show the necessity of the amend
ment Senator Humes obtained from
most of the counties the number Of
days their courts, "civil, criminal, jury
and argument" were in session during
the year 1884. From this it appears
that many Judicial districts held court
less than one hundred days and quite
number from sixty to eighty days.
The question of cost alone should have
no weight as against the proper admin
istration of justice, but when there is
great increase in the cost of the Judi
Cial system, and the judicial business
is less than it was ten years ago, neces-
sity demands charge. Experience
teaches that Judicial districts should
be formed on business principles and
not upon population. Senator Humes
amendment places it in the power Of
the legislature to make judicial apport-
ionments on q business basis and the
interests Of the people as well as the
judiciary demand its adoption by the
legislature and its ratification by the
people. i......

WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFrom our Regular Correspondent

lFrom our Regular Correspondent
~ WAsHNGroN, May 25, 1885.
To those who expected grand and
startling transformation scene as soon
as Mr.. Cleveland was fairly in Office,
the present condition of things, is very
disappointing. But to those vii g know
that startling transformation is not
necessarily reformation, and that the
latter can be attained only through
careful and well considered action,
there is much for encouragement. The
magnitude of the wholesale changes
that have taken place is known best by
those who will never tell it, All tho
Republican clerks in all the Depart
ments, are working better and accom-
plishing more, drinking less, paying
their old debts and enjoying better
health than ever before. They are do
ing more work because the Secretaries
of the different Departments have Civ
en- them to understand that idle clerks
will be discharged, and have emphasiz-
cd their meaning by turning some idlers
out. Their improved health is attribu-
table to the fact that orders have gone
cut that absence on account of sickness
will be deducted from the 80 days sum
mer vacation that has been allowed Gov
ernment clerks. This order has had
such healthy effect that absence from
alleged sickness has declined fully one
hundred per cent. Indebtedness and
drunkenness have declined because it
is understood that decency, competen-
cy and honesty will be insisted upon
by this Democratic Administration.
These reforms are best known by the
Republican clerks themselves but they
are kind of reform that reflects hut
little glory upon them or their party.
venture to predict that in about nine
months from Eow, when the work of
the first year of the new administration
can be reviewed, a very favorable
showing will be made and it will be
found that not only larger amount of
work has been done, but that it has
been accomplished more economically
and with a smaller force. In month
from now it is believed that very impor.
tant changes will have been made. 1t
has been found impracticable 10 make
these changes as rapidly as was desired
owing partly to the lack of acquaint-
ance of MIR. Cleveland and his Cabinet
with the routine and the personel of the
different bureaus, and partly to the
conflicting claims of the many appli-
cants for office. But the knowledge to
intelligent action is being rapidly ac-
quired and it is reported that extensive
changes will be made about the SOth
OF June.
No Department of the Government
has been worse mismanaged than that
Of Agriculture. The late Commissioner
spent his time from June To November
making speeches for Blaine and the
new Commissioner appointed by Pres
ident Cleveland found that $38 was the
unerpended balance left him for carry
ing on the Department for thee months,
or until the appropriations of the next

First Assistant Postmaster General
Malcolm Hay said that in his judgment
the Postmasters and others subject 10
removal should be divided into two
classes-the first offensive partisans,
and the second, neglecting to give at
tention to duties. He then gave his
definition of an offensive partisan.
1t was expected that every postmaster
should keep his Office in a convenient
place for the public, in good condition,
clean, and in all respects place where
people OF all kinds could go without be-
ing subjected to annoyance. II, on the
contrary, Postmaster should make bis
Post Office the headquarters of loafers
10 congregate, and in other ways Of
fend the people who called there for
their mail, such man could be prop
erly called an offensive partisan and a
fit subject for removal. The next class
embraced the Postmasters who left
their offices to attend political meet
ings and participate in campaigns TO
the extent of neglec,ing their duties.
They could not, properly speaking, be
called offensive parlisans, but they
merted dismissal just the same.

Col. l.. Markbreit, Assistant United

day, removed the coin and currency iu
his care from the old Post Office build
ing to the new quarters on the second
floor of the new Government building
There was some apprehension that the
removal might be attended with dan
ger of robbery, but the utmost care
was taken to prevent loss. The con
tract for the removal was given TO the
Adams Express Company, and was ex
ecuted under the personal supervision
of the Assistant Treasurer and his off
GERS. The work began at 8 a. M, and
was completed at p. m. One million

Robertson and his SUCCESSORS of the
same dynasty. The Mohican is about
ready to 20 10 sea, where she will be
of the slightest value either for de-
fensive or offensive naval warfare.
This, in brief, Is the history Of a
ship TO whose case The Sun has re-
peatedly called the attention of the
public.
Secretary Whitney says that the
aggregate amount of money expended
on the Mohican since she has been
docked in 1875 is nearly 100000,
and that more than two-thirds of this
amount has been spent during the ad-
mioistration of his cheerful predecess
or, the Hon. William L. Chandler.
From Mr.. Whitney's statement and
the figures already on record, it lie
easy to compute the total cost of the
Mohican as she stands to-day:
original cost of machinery. $3.50 0)o
Repairs, Bureau of Construction, previous
TO 1872. % 900

vious TO 1872. ....................... $1,000

Total for the Mohcan... ,6Io,Ooo
Mr.. Whitney says that new ship
Of the same character and class could
have been built for S250,000.
Startling as this exposure of dis
honesty extravaganza and systematic
plundering appears, the Mohican is
only speciman case. For about
fifteen years we have been engaged in
exhibiting the fruits of Robbersonism
in the Navy Department. As we have
shown time and time again, the pro-
cess of rigid and impartial investi-
CATION which the first honest and fear
less Secretary of the Navy since 1869
proposes to apply to the Mohican,
would reveal in the case Of almost
every other vessel of the United States,
wooden or iron clad, the same enor-
nous disproportion between the amount
of money expended and the results
obtained for the expenditure.
Mr.. Whitney is going to work in
the right way. Every honest citizen
is with him. Let the whole infamous
record of Republican rascality in the
Navy Department be uncovered to the
light of day.-M Y ,Sttn.
