Administrative Reform.

The fact that the revenues Of the govern
ment are thought not to be sufficient TO
meet its expenses is causing inquiries to be
made relative 10 the cost of conducting the
executive departments at Washington.
Representative Docksry, Of Missouri, pur-
poses to offer resolution IN the House as
soon as congress meets providing for com
mission 20 inquire into and examine the
methods Of business and workings OF the
departments. and to find out whether the
number of employees could not be greatly
reduced without injury to the public
service.
From Investigations Mr.. Dockery has
made be Is satisfied that the government
would be better served if the number OF
employees in the executive departments was
reduced one-third. In many offices the en-
ployes are not kept busy half Of their time,
and there is constant trouble among them
in respect to the work there is to do. each
one thinking he is being compelled to do
more than another. Mr.. Dockery says that
the sixth auditor told him that with one
third of the clerks lie now has he could
do the work Of his office better. 1t is proba-
bic that every other chief of a bureau or q
division would say the same thing. 1t is
true, probably, that from 10 to 25 per
cent of the employees are incompetent and
are in the way.
What the departments need is Thorough
wedding out. Year after year places have
been made at the request of congressman
for persons seeking employment until the
departments have become places for caring
for persons who cannot earn living.
1t would be unjust, Of course, to say that
all the employees Of the government in
Washington are of little account. There
are hundreds of them who earn every cent
they get, or would if there was enough for
them to do. But because there are capable
men and women in the government service
it doesn't follow that salaries should be paid
to several thousand people whose services
are not needed.
The reform which Mr.. Dockery proposes
is good one. 1t should receive the prompt
attention of congress. The departments
should be conducted on business basis.
There is no good reason why the govern
ment should pay out hundreds of thousands
Of dollars annually to people who are not
wanted.

The Armory Hall Meeting.

The meeting at Armory hall Wednesday
night was not in the interest Of any caudi-
date or list of candidates for city or county
offices. 1t was a gathering OF representa-
tive men who feel that they would not be
doing their duty as citizens If they failed
TO make an effort to get fit men to manage
the affairs Of the city and county. 1t is a
matter Of the greatest Importance that those
selected for commissioners of the county
and aldermen Of the city shall be men who
will feel the responsibilities of their posi-
lions and who will practice economy with
out injury to any public interest. There
are drainage and other problems to be
solved in the next year or two
that will require the exercise of
excellent business ability. Both the
city and the county, it is believed,
are about entering upon period Of great
prosperity. 1t lie evident that good city and
county government will contribute greatly
to that prosperity and help to make 1t
permanent.
In selecting men TO conduct the affairs OF
the county and city every citizen should
feel that he has duty to perform. and that
he is bound to perform 1t without regard to
personal friendships or private interests.
He should advocate the nomination OF men
who are conscientious and capable and who
would place the public good above personal
considerations. There are such men in the
community aud they will accept office If
they are made to feel that their services are
desired They will likely remain in the
background, however, unless they are
| sought
There is no compensation attached to the
| offices of commissioners or aldermen. There
| is no way that money can be made out Of
| them honestly. Those who accept them,
| therefore, should do so because they intend
to be Of service to the public and believe
| they can be.
1t is to be expected, of course, that there
will be a great difference of opinion as to
who are the best men to direct the affairs of
the city and county, but if every citizen is
honest in his purpose TO have only those he
knows to be fit it is certain that good men
will be chosen.

Prospects for Another New State.

HrOSpeCbS 1or Another New State.
A very strong effort will be made during
the approaching session Of congress to have
the bill admitting New Mexico into the
union as q state passed. The bill was passed
by the House at the last session and was
favorably reported by the Senate commit
tee on territories. Il is thought that enough
republican senators can be induced TO vote
for it to insure its passage.
1t was not passed at the last session be-
cause the republicans felt sure they would
retain control Of the Senate, and they did
not want to lessen their majority In that
body by admitting New Mexico, because it
is pretty certain she will elect two demo-
cratic senator's when admitted. The repub-
licans feel differently about the matter
now. The indications are that the demo-
Gratis will control the Senate
after March 4, and they will admit
the territory without unnecessary delay.
The republicans may conclude that it would
be bad policy to put off passing the New
Mexico bill, particularly as nothing would
be gained by doing 30 and something might
be gained by creating the impression among
the people of the territory that they secured
| their admission into tho union partly
through the republicans
The governor Of New Mexico Is ia Wash
| ington ready for an active campaign az
soon as congress meets. He is prepared to
show that the territory has all the REQUIRE
ments necessary for admission. The popu-
lation is at least 200, 900, and the territory
has the prospect Of a very prosperous
future.
Arizona is also asking for admission, but
as she has only about 10000 inhabitants il
is thought to be doubtful that her request
will be granted. The governor Of New
Mexico asserts that Arizona, if admitted.
would at once become a Mormon state. He
declares there are already 10000 Mormons
in the territory, and that the Utah Nor
mons are only waiting for Arizona to be-
come state to send $4,000 of their people
there to control the state government.
In view Of the fact that the Mormons saw
they have abandoned polygamy, it is no,
apparent why any Of them should prefer
Arizona 20 Utah, or why the Mormons
should desire to control the Arizona state
government. In considering Arizona's re.
quest for admission, congress will hardly
take into account any question relating tc
the Mormons. If she has the requisite
population she will probably be admitted
II she hasn't she will remain a territory

The Bill of a Duck -.

young man, who combines love Of society
with love Of adventure with gun and rod, was
cruelty betrayed by an unessential bill collector
a day or two before Thanksgiving, says the
New York Times. Among the most highly es
Ueemed acquaintance Of this young man Is a
certain comely and quick-witted young woman
whose parents maintain q luxurious home in q
fashionable part of Brooklyn. 1t was while
making an evening call at this luxurious home
a week OF so ago that the aforesaid young man
casually remaI ked that he intended going, with
friend 10 BarneRet Bay on the day following
to shoot ducks.

NOW l will tell you what will do. II you
really shoot some ducks tomorrow and send a
brace or them to me will make you something

The trip to Barnegat bay was taken, but the
result put cold, hard envelope around the
young mans heart. He shot, and shot and
shot, but the ducks would not be hit He re-
turned to this city in q spiritless mood But
while he brooded the tempter came. His pride
as huntsman compelled him to yield. He

where he was acquainted and selected fine
pair OF ducks to which he attached the address
OF the comely young woman in Brooklyn. He
had running account at the stall and simply
left orders to have the ducks sent to the ad-
dress indicated. few nights afterward the
deceltful young man called at the luxurious
hone in Brooklyn. He was greeted with eff

The Growing Pension Burden.
From the Ne,o York Herald dnd.l }.

For the coming year $3.50, coo will be re-
quired Raum, who knows better tells US that
the end will then be reached. Secretary Foster
however is more candid and freely admits that
before long the pension list will cover fully
S250. 100000. At any rate, there were 81 900
pensions granted during the last year. and there
are more than 900 cases now on the docket
to be heard from. These are large figures. If
they represent assistance to actually disabled
veterans that is one thing; IL they represent 30
a very different thing.

The Nicaragua Canal Convent,op

The friends of the Nicaragua canal are
very active. The convention that is in
session in New Orleans to promote the
enterprise was similar to the one that met
in st. Louis last June. Other similar con-
ventions will be held in all probability,
The purpose is we'll understood. 1t is to
create a public sentiment in favor Of the
bill introduced into the Senate by Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, which was favor
ably reported by the committee on foreign
affairs, of which Senator Sherman, Of
Ohio, is chairman.
The bill provides that this government
shall guarantee the bonds of the canal to
the amount OF 800, 1000. The bonds.
which are to be of denominations of not
less than 800 nor more than 1000. are to
bear interest at the rate OF 8 per cent,
payable quarterly. The government is to
have a controlling interest in the manage
ment of the canal until the bonds are paid.
1t will require good deal of eloquence
and lobbying to get congress to agree to
indorse the bonds. Indeed, it ia doubtful If
it can be induced to indorse them. The
Panama canal scandal will have a dampeu-
ing effect upon the scheme, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there is but little doubt
that the money arising from the sale Of the
bonds would be honestly expended. There
is certainly not much prospect of the Mica
ragua bill passing while the Panama scan
dial is attracting SO much attention.
