since it is so easy in these loose end days
to set murderers free, and to find excuse
for dynamite fiends, bomb-throwers and
train-robbers. OF course there will be
application for new trial in the Evans
case, and of course the matter will drag
along for year or two, such are the dila-
tory methods of our system. But since
Evans is not to be punished by death,
though he visited it upon his victims, it
makes little difference how much time
the lawyers and the courts further ex-
pend upon the case. for the man will be

THE Secretary of the Navy reports that
there are barely enlisted men enough
now at command to supply the ships the
United States has in commission, and not
a man over. In fact, we have no sailors
for the ships out of commission, if
called to service, or to man the
new ones in course of construction. We
must. therefore. stop building ships or
enlarge the enlistment list. and then we
will be put to it to fill the rosters. For,
singular as it may appear. there is diff
fculty in securing trained American sea-
men. The naval training schools do not
furnish enough to supply the loss by
death and old age, and the class of men
we need for able seamen do not apply to
be put in training. Yet the American
blue jacket has no hard life. He is well
fed, we'll clothed and we'll housed. He is
provided with the best medical attend
ance, his health is the object of solicitous
care, and his lines are altogether cast in
pleasant places. His pay is not large, but
there Is small need for him to spend
money, and the sober and discreet man
can save 80 per cent. of his income. He
is assured of care in old age when it over
takes him in the service, and is furnished
with a comfortable place in sailors
homes after he has served given num-
Der of years. England, on the other
hand, has no difficulty in securing all the
able seamen she needs. Indeed, we are
driven to the necessity of filling our blue
jacket ranks by enlisting men of foreign
birth, while but few foreigners are found
in the Queens service. If we are to
maintain a much larger naval force than
at present, it is clear that we will have to
offer new inducements to men to enlist.

IN England successful experiments
have proved that garbage crematories
may be made to furnish the necessary
steam making heat for the operation of
electric light plants, and thus the entire
cost of garbage collection and disposition
is met. 1t is an idea capable of applica-
ton in other directions For instance
we pay good many thousands of dollars
a year for the steam power Of the pump
ing plant on the Y-street grade. In fact,
the fuel cost is nine-tenths of the whole
cost of that necessary plant. Suppose
now that the steam for it were generated
by the consumption of the city garbage,
as may be done, we believe, at less cost
than to purchase and to deliver coal or
wood at the works? Certainly the mat
ter is worth looking into by the city au-
thorities.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
Some Changes Which the Presiden
Thinks Badly Needed.

Some Changes Which the President
Thinks Badly Needed.
The report of the attorney general con-
tains the usual summary of the affairs
and proceedings of the department. of
justice for the past year, together with
certain recommendations as to needed
legislation on various subjects. 1 cannot
too heartily indorse the proposition that
the fee system as applicable to the COM
pensation of United States attorneys,
marshals clerks of federal courts and
United States commissioners should be
abolished with as little delay as possible
1t is clearly in the interest of the COM
Llunity that the business of the courts.
both civil and criminal, shall be as small
and as inexpensively transacted as
the ends Of justice will allow.
The system is therefore thoroughly VIC
lous, which makes the compensation
court officials depend upon the volume OF
such business, and thus creates conflict
between proper execution of the law and
private gain which cannot fail to be dam
gerous to the rights and freedom of the
citizens, an irresistible temptation to the
unjustifeble expenditure of public funds
If in addition to this reform another was
inaugurated which would give to United
States commissioners the final disposition
of petty offenses within the grade OF mis-
demeanors, especially those coming under
the internal revenue laws, great advance
would be made toward a more decent ad-
ministration of the criminal laws.

The constitutional duty which requires

Office receipts and expenditures is Tie ex-
pected and unavoidable result of the dis
tressing stringency which has prevailed
throughout the country during much
OF the time covered by the
postmaster generals report. At q
date when better times were
anticipated it was estimated by his pre-
decessor that the deficiency ON the 30th
day Of June, 1893, would be but a little
over million and a half dollars. 1t
amounted, however, to more than five
millions. At the same time and under
the influence of like anticipations esti-
mates were made for the current fiscal
year ending June 30, 1894, which exhibited
surplus Of revenue over expenditures of
$872, 245.1, but now in view of the actual
receipts and expenditures during that
part of the current fiscal year already ex-
pired, the present postmaster-general es-
Inmates that at it is close, instead of sur
plus, there will be deficiency of nearly
eight million dollars. -.

THE INTERIOR.

Report OF the Secretary Contains Much Of
1nterest-PensiOns and Indians.
The secretary of the interior has the SUI
pervision of SO many important subjects
that his report Is of especial value and in
terest. &c. ..... ......
The S0th day Of June. 1898, there were
on the pension rolls 966, 012 names, an in
crease of 1924 over the number on the
rolls June 80, 1892. The number added to
the rolls during the year was 1864, and
the number dropped was $780, The first
payments on pensions allowed during the
year amounted to So, 500, 549.9S.
Pension Frauds.
The president discusses pension frauds
at considerable length, and concludes:
am unable to understand why frauds
in the pension rolls should not be exposed
and corrected with thoroughness and
vigor. Every name fraudulently put
upon these rolls is a wicked imposition
upon the kindly sentiment in which PEN
sions have their origin; every fraudulent
pensioner has become q bad citizen; every
false oath in support of pension has
made perjury more common and false,
and undeserving pensioners rob the
people, not only Of their money, but of
the patriotic sentiment which the sur
vivors of war fought for the preserve
ton of the Union ought to inspire.
The sum expended on account of pen
sions for the year ending June 80, 1898,
was $156, nc, 1914. The commissioner esti-
mates that $165, 0O0,O will be required to
pay pensions during the year ending June
80, 1894.
As to Indians.
Our Indians number about 24S,OOO.
About 10000 Of these Indians have, to q
large degree, adopted civilized customs.
Lands in severalty have been allotted to
many of them. Such allottments have
been made to 10, 900 individuals during the
last fiscal year, embracing about 1000, 900
acres.
The appropriations on account of the
Indian bureau for the year ending June
80, 1894, amount to 81 49,, 962. 90, decrease
as compared with the year preceding it of
1881, 1875.
As to Land Laws.
The secretarJ's recommendations re-
garding land entries and the opening of
reservations are recommended to careful
consideration.
