The Business Outlook.

Perhaps the most encouraging fea-
ture of the commercial situation at the
present time is the condition of the
foreign trade of the country. Last
week, for instance, the exports of do
mestic products from this port showed
an increase of about 100000, and the
imports a falling off of nearly S5,0OO,-
900 as compared with the correspond
ing period last year. On the one hand
ths increased exports show that we are
find ng a better market for our surplus
products of 1884, while on the other
hand the dimini he'd importations in
dicate clearly that the American peo-
pie have learned a wholesome lesson IN
economy from the depressed condition
of business since the memorable 'boom"
of 1880. The change must prove of
lasting benefit to all legitimate inter-
ests, which are so dependent upon
conservative policy in the matter of
consumption of foreign luxurlts. The
fact that the balance of trade in our
favor is increasing is also important
for the reason that it allays any fears
in regard to an ef1ux of gold, while it
renders an import movement quite
probable at no distant day World.

LEGISLATORS AND THEIR PAY.

Under existing laws members of the
legislature draw $1,000 for 100 days,
and $40 day for each additional day,
not exceeding SO. No one expects that
a session will adjourn inside of $50
days no matter whether .here is necessi-
ty for 80 long a session; ana no one ex-
poets a session to continue long after
the time expires for which the mem.
beis draw their pay, no matter what
business of Importance may remain un-
finished.
There is something radically wrong
about this. The law should be chang
ed so that members are paid fixed
salary without regard to the length of
the session. This would shorten the
sittings of the legislature and thus con-
fer a blessing on the people. Laws
that are passed cost the state on an
average, $4,000 apiece, while many
of them are so crude, so badly con-
structed aud 80 little considered that
they cause much unnecessary litigation
in the effort to have the courts con
strue the intended meaning of the leg
islature. What the state needs is a
fixed salary for its representatives and
better men than the average member
to make the laws.

Reducing Expenses in the Treasury.

Secretary Manning has sent circu-
lar letter to the heads OF bureaus and
chiefs of divisions of the Treasury De-
partment requesting them to report to
him in writing as soon as practicable
whether, in their opinion, the force EN-
ployed in their respective offices can be
reduced, and to what extent, without
detriment to the public service. They
are also requested to report whether
the methods of business can be simpli
fed and in general to make such sug
gestions and recommendation as may
occur to them as to how the efficiency
of the service may be improved, the
business of the department facilitated
and the expenses curtailed. In ac-
cordarce with these instructions Mr..
Higgins, acting chief of the appoint
ment division, instructed the clerks of
the division to furnish him, at as early
day as practicable, with full state
ment of the duties pertaining to their
respective desks. Similar action will
be taken by all the bureau and division
officers.

PUBLIC ROADS.


The statement Of the financial az.
fairs of this county, Published last
month, shows that the cost of new
roads during the year was Sl057 80,
for viewers, damages, and commission
'ers' pay. To this must be added the
cost to each township Of opening new
roads. As very few of the townships
publish their statements 80 that they
can be scrutinized, we are unable to
say how much is spent annually on
roads, but it will aggregate a large
sum.
1t may be taken as a fact that too
much money is spent in this way.
Viewers are too much inclined to grant
road to any one who asks for it, re-
gardless of expense to the township.
Every taxpayer has right to a rea-
sonably convenient highway to reach
his premises, and when he has that he
should not ask for more. 1t is asking
too much of u township to make a new
road for the accommodation of one or
two persons, simply because it ls little
more convenient or little shorter than
the old way.
With the present number of roads in
this county there are comparatively few
persons who are not able to get oul
from their farms by public highway,
and when new ones are asked for, view
ers should carefully consider whether
the conveniences of any individual de-
4
whether the probable expense will not
be too great for the township TO bear,
as well as all other questions pertain
ing to the subject, and make their de-
cisions according to right and justice
in each case. We have no reference
to any particular instance. What has
been said is applicable generally.

An Historic Vehicle.


The new Attorney General has fol
lowed Secretay Lamars example in or
dering the Immediate sale at public
auction Of the euperfluous horses, car
riages, and equipments belonging to
the stables of his department. With
the exception of the few animals and
carts actually needed for trucking pur-
poses, the entire establishment founded
n dozen years ago by Landaulet Will
liams is to be knocked down, article by
article, to the highest bidder, and the
proceeds are to be covered into the
Treasury. The tax eating steeds Of
Justice are to go. The cushioned ve-
hicles of Justice, the silver-mouuted
harness, the lap robes, the whips, the
blankets, and the curry combs, which
for years have represented to the ex
tent OF their cost price the misappropri-
alton of money belonging to the peo-
pie, are to be sold for what they will
bring, in order that restitution may be
made as is possible. This action on the
part of Mr.. Garland encourages us to
believe that he has clearer conception
Of the distinction between the public
purse and his private pockotbook than
has cen possessed by any Attorney
General since Akerman.
Is the old original laudaulet which
Williams set up at the nations ex-
pense for the convenience of himself and
his family still among the lumber of
the stables of Justice If 80, it ought
not TO be exposed for sale, or at least it
ought TO be bid in on Government ac
count. The uihng sum of money
which it would fetch if sold to some
third class livery or unprosperous
cab driver is nothing at all as compar-
I'D with its value as an historical OBJ
ject 1t should be preserved in the SO
called National Museum for the in
struction of future generations More
than any other one thing belonging to
the Government it typities the defiant
departure, under Republican rule, from
honest principles III the use of public
property by public officers. 1t Is the
earliest monument of the junketing,
deadhead system. 1t is the grandfath.
er OF the lallapOOsa ana the Dlspatcil,
and the great grandfather of numer-
Gus progeny of scandals. With its
mouldering, motheaten cushions and
on its rickety wheels and creakirg
springs, the battered body of Williams
landaulet should stand in some con
spicuous place as long as it holds to-
gether, an illustration, recori, and a
warning.
We can heartily comme,d the Ian
daulet policy of the new Adlninistra-
iion, so far as has been developed.
This is practical reform in the depart
nents-a reform much more creditable
to Secretary Lamar and Attorney-Grn-
eral Garland than if they had kept the
coaches and contented themselves with
requiring the coachmen TO pass a COM
petitive examination.--N. y. San.

THE APPoRTIoNMENT.


The Legislature has been in session
over seventy five days, and in that
time has passed four laws at cost T.
the state of $225,000, each one costing
over $56,000, aud all of them of minor
Importance. The Legislature is compos
ed largely of republicans, there being .
majority in each branch, and therefore
the responsibility for this slow work
must fall on them. Two years ago
when the governor called an extra ses.
sion Tor the purpose of passing appor-
tionment bills as required by the law
of the state, the republican senate
adopted an ultimatum, and positively
refused to comply with the require
ments of the constitution unless they
could have their way, and the result
was, no apportionment. Now they
have both branches, but their beloved
ultimatum has not made its appear
ance. The House has one bill and the
Senate another, and it is likely between
the two the session will again close
without obedience to the constitution,
making the second time for which the
republican party is responsible for this
sort of thing.
Should bills pass that are not consii-
tutional, that is in which the districts
are not composed of compact and con-
tiguous territory, the governor will
veto them, and the bills as proposed by
each branch do not come up to this
standard. 1t looks, therefore, as though
it is the deliberate intention of the ma
jority in the Legislature to prevent the
passage of auy apportionment bills. II
this happens, there should be no more
extra session foolishness, but lei the is.
sue go before the people, and if they
eDdorse such action a second time,
then there will be no cause for com
plant.

PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA ACCUSED OF WAN
TON ROBBERY AND ASSAULT
ON INAUGURA
TON DAY.

The following letter from the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia
has been forwarded to the Governor of
Pennsylvania:
"SlR: The Commissioners regret
that the praise due the volunteer regi-
mcnts from Pennsylvania for their gen
orally excellent appearance, discipline
and behavior during their recent visit
to the national capital upon the occa-
sion of Presidential Inauguration

Of a few members of the Fourth,
Eighth, Fourteenth and Eighteenth
reg ments.
Complaints came to the Commission
crs that while these regiments were
waitin for the tram in South Wash
ington, some of the soldiers, regardless
of discipline, morals and law, forcibly
robbed several small dealers in that
neighborhood of their wares, refusing
payment and conducting themselves in
other respects disgracefully. These
complaints have been investigated and
are found to be sustained by truslwor-
thy evidence A brief report from the
police department, of which copy il
incl sed, is believed to state the facts
without any exaggera'ion, together
with the names aud addresses of some
of the witnesses regarded as worthy Of
belief. Payment to the injured par
ties who are not able TO sustain the
small LOSSES, and a suitable apology
from the wrongdoprs would seem to be
SO proper that they will doubtless be
tendered voluntarily by the regiments.
Beyond this the Commissioners have
no suggestion to make, "a you will de-
termine what is due to violated law as
well as TO good discipline and the hon
or of the service. lf further iuforma-
ton is desired of the Commissioners
they will gladly furnish the same so

Makers of Bad Gents.

An engraver called at the Office of
the Secret Service Bureau in the Post
Office building, New York city, on
March ~, and showed Col. A. l..
Drummond few counterfeit cents and
three cent nickel. He said Morris
Rodansky, jeweller at 81 Eldrdge
street, had given them to him in change.
Chief Drummond started Mr.. Ewes
out. He did not find Rodansky at 81
Edridge street, aud the people said
Rodansky had moved away in the
night and gone back to Poland. Ewes
learned that a jeweller named Harris
Rodansky lived at 10 Essex street.
Ewes left watch with Rodansky to be
repaired. When he came TO pay the
bill of 40 cents, he got in change fifty
three cents in good money, two coun-
terfeit three-cent pieces, and counter
felt cent.
The next day Chief Drummond took
a screw out of his Office clock and sent
boy with the clock to Rodansky to
have it fixed. In paying for the re-
pairs the boy received some counter
felt coins in change. Chief Drum
mond stopped another clock and sent
it foi repairs. A young man in the
office called for it at s o'clock last
Thursday Dight, and received iu change
from another man in the shop four bad
ihree-cent pieces, and five bad cents.
He found out that the man who was
in business with Rodansky was Joseph
Kalpon. Both men were arrested
and their room on the second
floor back, was searched for 2t hours,
while Mrs. Rodansky lay ou the bed
and screamed. The officers found in
struments for counterfeit slowed away
under beds and in closets, and bags of
counterfeit coin in the pockets of cloth
ing that hung on hooks on the wall.
Rodansky explained the purpose of ev-
cry tool. He said that Kalpon invent
ed the things, and that he worked the
machinery.
The officers took the counterfeit

perts at Washington, who had seen

Considerable discussion has been
aroused by the selection of Eugene
Higgins by Secretary Manning, as ap-
pointment clerk of the Treasury De-
partment. 1t is charged now that
Higgins is gambler and friend of
gamblers. His friends, however, insist
that the charges are false. Secretary
Manning will undoubtedly investigate,
and act accordingly. If Higgins is
the kind of man he is accused Of be-
ing, he ought not to hold an appoint
ment under this administration if he
is not, he ought not to be deposed
simply because the organs of the party
of the Dorseys and Bradys and Bel
