Potomac Flats.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Persons inter
ested in the appropriation contained in
the river and harbor bill to continue the
work of improvement on the Potomac
flats, express fears OF a presidential veto
because of the large appropriations which
the bill carries, and which they argue
are in some cases for comparatively in
significant improvements. The work on
the Potomac flats has reached that
stage that to neglect it would
prove disastrous, ind to q great
extent render useless what has already
been accomplished towards making the
river front of the capital wholesome as
well az pleasing to the eye. The amount
embodied in the river and harbor bill for
this work is 800, 600. In the event Of
failure to secure this appropriation
through the river and harbor bill, an
effort will be made on the part of citizens
of the District SO persuade congress to
appropriate the money by passing an in
dependent measure. The river and har-
Dor bill will be reported to the senate
with an aggregate. of nearly SO, DOC, 600
more than 1t contained when passed by
the house. The bill in its present shape
appropriates abont $21, 900, 900. j

Something They 1sever Think of.

It would seem strange that our free
trade Democratic friends never think Of
reducing the dutyon sugar, which is 10
per cent. upon IS cost, and last year
aggregated S5s, 600, 900, while sugar is a
prime necessary and the largest food
charge In every family, and also the duty
upon rice, which is 100 per cent. upon It's
cost, did NE not know that these are two
articles of southern Democratic produc-
ton, and thai the English hackers of free
trade in this country do not produce
either sugar or rice.-Congressman Mill

SECRETARY EAfRcHILD. ~
CATION for nearly two years. The inves-
tigation was originally begun by the late
Secretary Manning, who, some time in
the fall of 1886, called it to his attention
and that since Mr.. Manning's retire
ment from the department the whole
subject had been personally known to
him In all its details; that nothing had
been done about It by Judge Maynard
except by the discretion and with the
preTfohs knowledge and approval
OF Secretary Fairohild; that Judge
Maynard knew nothing OF the matter
until sem time after he became assist
ant secretary in April, 1887; that all of
tho removals which had been made be-
cause OF the alleged sugar frauds were
made by Mr.. F~aifchild's express direc-
ton, and solely with d view to the purifi-
cation and improvement of the public
service, and with no regard whatever to
any personal or political consideration;
that the salne was true of the non-re-
movals and the restoration after removal
mentionedin the investigation. Secre-
tary Fairchild says that he VS. himself
personally responsible ..or The removals,
and that ii is grossly unjust to censure
Judge Maynard. Mr.. Fairchild further
said that the question OF civil service re-
FORM, as such reform had heretofore been
understood, was not at all involved: that
IL what had been done by the depart
ment In this matter was in violation OF
the principles of civil service reform,
then the reform would itself be o greater
evil than were the evils which 1t was
destined to remedy; that the Judgment
and action of the responsible head of the
department could not be ham
pered in the way indicated, with
out serious danger to the integrity
and efficiency of the public service, and
that II Is was to be 50 hampered whether
by law or otherwise, tier. 80 seIf-respect-
ing mar could afford to. take charge Of
anydepartment. Denominations and crit
ieis1ns OF the action of public officers, .
Secretary Fairchild added, SIS whole
some, but the habit of believing the tale
of every subordinate whom his superior
may have thought well to remove and
assuming that all officers who make re-
mOvals actuated therein by unworthy
motives, is not wholesome, but on the
contrary most pernicious to the public
| welfare. ~
This matter of the Investigation of al
legged sugar frauds, Secretary Fairchild
adds, is by no means at an end, and al
though the efforts of the department to
learn the truth and correct what he
feared to be gross irregularities and
wrongs of long standing might, and
probably would be, seriously impeded by
the uses to which certain men of fair re-
pute in the community suffered them
selves to be put, yet he had hope and
confidence that in due time such efforts
would be successful.
