Under the system of peddling out small
annual appropriations for public works the
cost Is greater than IL should be by at least
80 per cent. As to river aud harbOr im-
prOvsments, the work done one season Is In
such an incomplete state that It Is often car
risd away or seriously damaged before ops-
rstions are begun under new appropriations.
Buildings which should be completed within
o short period are years In course OF con-
struction, and contractors make their bids
higher for work and material because Of the
uncertainty prevailing as to future
appropriations. The true course to adopt In
such matters Ia to appropriate sufficient
money to complete ths improvement, and
provide III Congress thinks the Government
cannot afford the expenditure Of the whole
amount in any one year) that 30 much, Of
the appropriation shall be available each
year. This would decrease the cost, and II

such necessary work should be completed in
the shortest possible period consistent with
stability and the condition Of the public
Treasury, the cost would be still further 70.

Tie Appropriation Committee of the
House should have been more liberal to
the Geological Survey. The estimates ap-
proved by Secretaries Lamar and Manning
should have been adopted by the Committee
on Appropriations without hesitation. That
committee has nothing to say against the
management Of the Survey. On the contrary,
like the Congressional Commission, it is of
opinion that its work Is we'll done and ia OF
great practical use. The only reason for not
granting the whole amount of the estimates
was the desire TO cut down the aggregate of
the sundry Civil bill. As every dollar spent
in developing the mining interests Of the
country, its forests, salt. phospatic, and
other valuable interests, is returned thou
sand fold by the rapid development of those
interests, it is true economy to hasten the
work by suficient appropriations. Major

who sells In original packages Is protected in

unjust as to provide by law that revenue

1t is also the right and duty Of Congress to
collect revenue by levying taxes on those
articles which are least necessary to the

Congress Of the people
There is no Journal In Washington which
has more strongly advocated the rights Of
the people when threatened by the exactions
of gas, street railway, or other corporations
than has THR SUNDAY HERALD. We believe
1t to be the duty Of Congress TO see that
there is strict supervision Of corporatio ON
which II has bestowed franchises which ena
BILE them to levy q tax on the community for
the necessities of every day life. But, on
the other hand, the fact that some time In
the past there may have been excessive
charges for gas, or inordinate profits for the
stockholders, does not make II right to con-
iscate the property Of the present owners Of
gas stock. The doctrine laid down by Mr..
Dodge in his letter printed last Sunday, If
We interpret him correctly, that only fair
profit on the original paid up capital of a
company should be allowed, may be good
law, but II Is repugnant to the commonest
notions OF equity and fair dealing. The
stock passes from hand to hand, and IL
there we're abuses five or ten years ago the
proper authority then existed 10 correct
them and should have been exercised at that
time. There are multitude of wrongs both
to property and persons that can only be
corrected at the period of their occurrence.
The lapse Of time, sooner or later, makes IL
impossible TO correct them. II a holder OF
gas stock in 1876 drew excessive profits, no
reparation is made by robbing his successor
who owns the same stock in 1886. Two
wrongs do not make right, aud to attempt
TO exact reparation for long past dividends
from present stockholders would not only be
unjust, but in the case Of many holders Of
stock would be an extreme hardship. We
have often pointed ont that the orsy true
solution Of the gas question is for the Gov
ernment to buy the works at fair appraise
msnt.
