The waIdron Case.

AEAolA llt fNretSArE
 There are festares of the Waldron in- vestigation that the average taxpayer can not contemplate otherwise than with smazemeut. It Is hardly enough to in timste, as the esteemed COURIER does, that the affair has been conducted in an uu- businessiike way. There is an element of Responsibility in 1t, so far as intelligent prosecution is concerned, that offers great encouragement to others to peculate as the opportunity offers. The simple detection of wrong doing has never before besn re- gsrded as sufficient conservation of civic virtue. Wrong doing in private may be handled as the aggrieved parties may de- termine, but when the wrong doing is d. rected at government, the failure 10 act as the law directs psgnides the original crime, and makes the failure to prosecute an act of participation.
 It has from the frst seemed strange that the discovery of inaccuracies should not have been ccnhdentisily treated until thorough examination of the books had been made. All the parties inter ested, the accused ex clerk, the board of public works, and the public, had the right to expect this. and furthermore the commOnest respect for the dignity of government demanded 1t. If the psople have bsen robbed the rubbtr should be made to pay the penalty. But we have not only lost the chance of recovering the embezzler, if he is one, but we are fur thsr met with the extraordinary statement that the city cannot afford to go ahead with the investigation. The board of pub lie works has aided in every possible wsy the escape of Mr. Wal6ron, and the com mon council seems determined to make his | exit 6 comfortable and agreeable one We may be pardoned for remarking that a government run on this policy is calcu- | lated to breed a fine lot of corrupt rascals. who could fatten their purses when in of flee, and retire, when out, to e well sp- | pointed home in foreign country. This case has been badly and stupidly l mismsnsged from the fret, and it is highly cons sstent with its misI1suagemsnt that it should drop where it Ia We have all learned that e wrong has been committed, but We do not know how much of 6 one or | whether 1t is confined to one department of government. This is valuable intorma- | ton, doubtless, but there are very many | who even see no value in 1t since nothing is to be done with it. 4 more graceful and refined disposition of ihs matter would have been for Mr. Wsldron to apologize and for the board to have accepted his apology. All expense would then have been saved, and the result exactly what 1t is now.

sentencing 6 person to imprisonment be- fore the third arrest. He claims that the average inebriate is drunk at least twenty times before 1t is discovered that he has been arrested three times; that the law has led to extraordinary perjury, has demor- alized the police and cost the taxpayers at least million dollars.
 When will the railroad companies show proper regard for the lives of their em- ployesi It appears from the report of the Interstate Commerce commission that 2,660 railroad employees were killed and 26, 40 injured in railroad accidents during the year. Of these 415 were killed and 9,43l injured while coupling or uncoup- ling cars, and 59s were killed and 3,191 injured by falling from trains and engines. This is an awful record, and the worst of 1t is, it is entirely unnecessary.
 An ambitious member of the Illinois general assembly has given out to the press the form of bill which he proposes to introduce to prevent frauds against creditors by absconding debtors. His bill declares that the holder of any just claim or obligation may have an immediate lien on the property of the debtor, without re- gard to the time when the debt shall be- come due and payable, if he shall declare by affidavit that he believes the debtor is about to remove from the state and carry his property away. Such law as this would work well in the hands of nasty or malicious creditor.
 That was big stealing in the Panama canal business. M. Florey, in his examin- ation before the Panama investigating committee, testified that the estimated re- ceipts of the Panama company were 1, ASA, ,000, 900 francs, of which 199, ,000, 900 francs were swallowed up by expenses of the management, 249, 900, ,O0O francs by in- terest on the coupons and $50, ,000, 900 francs by canal operations. Of the last mentioned sum 107, ,000, ,000 francs went directly to workmen and 443,0O0,0 francs to con- tractors. Four contractors made a profit of 77,000, 900 francs, NJ.

exceedingly well rendered and the au-
dience showed its appreciation by

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must he a natural genius, like Edi
son or Bell; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spsnta fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, staple, and cheap Opes-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi,
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents.on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
eeived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to ehila's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fftyryesrs, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
staad af of tho Othar apd
