When cog In the wheel Of the Post Office

DAYTON ascertained that there was no fund at
his disposal from which he could take the
$3.50 needed for the mending Of it. He sent
notice to Washington: tho notice was not
promptly answered.: an inquiry into the facts
of the case was instituted by the Post Office
Department.: and. after the First Assistant
POSTING ster- General had become convinced
that the press must DO fixed before any tally
slips or labels could be printed. he transmitted
a despatch to Mr.. DAYTON authorizing and
empowering him to expend sum not exceed
ing $40 in the purchase OF q new cog for the
wheel
We justify the Post Ofica Department in this
case. We justify the First Assistant Post
master General In pursuing the course which
he pursued. There should be the utmost eau
ton in the expenditure OF public money In the
service OF every branch OF the Government.
There should be a close watch kept upon every
dollar in the Treasury. Not a single dollar
should be dIsbursed at any time for any I'M
necessary purpose. Not cent should ever be
wasted. We justify the Democratic Admins
tration In restricting the amount to be spent
oven upon a cog. 1t is only by keeping an eye
upon every item OF expense that the aggregate
OF disbursements can be kept within legitimate
bounds. This is a business Administration.
While thus approving Of the course Of the
Post Office Department In this instance, We
are free to say that it might be good policy for
the department to put fund Of perhaps S25

master DAYTON for use in cases Of emergency

from the Presidency Of the Prussian Coun-
ell Of Ministers. although he himself while
continuing to hold both Offices. established
for each OF them an entirely distinct staff.
and thus recognized their eeparability. AS
to the statement that the Emperor and the
Chancellor are only the executive officers Of
the Bundesrath and the Reichstag, that is
truism: but, when BISMARCK went
on to say that neither OF them has
right to attempt more than to
publish the laws enacted by those bodies.
he unduly mlnimized the executive func-
ton. 1t is the duty OF the German En-
peror not only to publish, but to enforce
the laws made by the German parliament.
The further assertion that the Chancellor
ought to have influence In the Bundesrath
only by means OF Prusslan votes, is either
superhuous or untrue. 1t is superfiuous IL
BISMARCK means that only the seventeen
Prussian votes can be arbitrarily controlled
by the Chancellor; and it is untrue IL Bis
MARCK would imply that the Chancellor is
not at liberty to win over rs many addi-
tional votes belonging to minor States as his
personal qualities can influence.
One Is reminded OF the desperate act OF
the shackled SAMSON by B1sMARcK's reck-
loss disavowal Of the principles that have
guided his whole public life. He seems
willing that his own fame should be shat
tered by the downfall Of the ediflce Of Prus-
sian greatness. II only his enemies may
perish with him. He concluded his speech
at Kissingen by declaring that he had
spoken out Of the fulness Of his heart II

longer any room for wisdom.
