One of the most senscless acts of the Demo-
Gratis in control of the House at the last session
was the refusal to make any appropriation for
seacoast defences. Money was even refused
for the care of Notifications already in ex-

guns. The Chief of Ordnance says that this
has led to great loss pecuniarily already and
still greater evils 10 the loss of Skilled en-

1t is quite too late for that set of sef-chosen
god-fathels to Civil Service reform most Of whom
have had about much to do with the practical
work of purifying the service and improving the
system Dakota prairie dog, to attack Mr.. Baincs
record this subject. Not only has he always
been advocate and champion Of all recognized
improv emens in the laws governing appointments
to Office, but in his letter accepting the Republican
nomination in 'S4 he out-reformed the rcformeIs.
He pledged himself to such splendid extension of
the laws provisions would make the subsidiary
service wholly nom artisan and include within rs
operations all possible branches of the Goyernm ut.

that they can drive the Republican leader into an

it does all the evils of insolcncc bribery, pension
expense, life tenure and dictation which spring
inevitably from the existence OF large office
holding class. they make big mistake Mr.. Blaine
would make the public service better, more demo

out the assistance of hypocritcs and humbuSs.

1t is to be hoped that the movement which some
wcn-known citizens of South Brooklyn have started
for the removal of a crcam-of tartar factory which

long fight to leave the Eastern District Of Brook

and II is likely to meet with equally vigorous op
position in the region to which it removed. 1t

THE SURPLUS RESOLUTION.
Secretary Faifchild and 4 reasurer JOr.
dan Before the senate Finance Com.
mittee.

Acting Secretary FaircLild and Treasurer
Jordan were before the Senate committee on
finance this morning to oppose the adoption of
the Morrison surplus resolution. They were
examined at considerable length, and the com.
mittee ordered the publication of their remarks
In official form, but in the absence of formal
action by the committee no official statement
of the proceedings can be given out for publi-
cation in the press. The following is gathered
from various but entirely trustworthy sources
as to the substance of the proceedings:
Mr.. Fairchld said the resolution was an
effort on the part OF the legislative branch OF
the government to impose q new restriction
upon the executive branch not heretofore
thought necessary, andin this view representa-
tives of the administration were hardly at lib
erty to discuss the merits of the proposition.
He spoke on the assumption that the admins
traton was fully committed to and in sympa.
the redemption Of interest bearing debt aud Of
retiring such debt rapidly as prudent ad-
ministratton and sound policy permitted. This
being assumed, the Treasury department could
not see . single argument In favor of the resOlu-
tion, while it could see numerous and serious ob.
jections and Ill effects and embarrassments
which are likely to arise from such arbitrary
legislation. 1t was, in his opinion, Impossible
tor any human being to Look SO far into the
conditions OF the future as to tell in what
amounts and at what intervals bonds should
be called and redeemed during the next year.
Mr.. Fairchild responded to u rumber OF Ques-
tiOns by memb bers Ot the committee to the
effects o tue resoiu ion, his statements indicat-
ing the belief OF the Treasury thai the depart
ment would be greatly embarrassed and lis OBJ
legations violated.
treasurer Jordan submitted a series of tabu-
lated statements and written replies to ques-
tiOns previously prOpOunded by the members
OF the committee, inainiy OF u statistical aud
technical nature. 1t Is not PROBABLE that tue
committee viii invi,e any otner persons 10 APP
pear before it.
