The meeting last night OF joint COM
mittee of the Union Veteran Legion and
the Confederate Veterans, to arrange fer
lecture by Gen. John B. Gordon in the
cause of charity, was an interesting and sig
nificant event. When the veterans Of the
blue and gray, who so sturdily opposed
each other on the battle field, unite shoulder
to shoulder In a common cause, and that
the noble one of charity. they are certain
to carry all before them.
They will have the quick sympathies Of
the public in their good work, and the
entertainment proposed is of such an ex-
ceptionally interesting character that 1t
will not be difficuit to fill even the great
Convention Hall on that night.
The lecture by Gen. Gordon, entitled
'The Last Days OF the Confederacy." has
won the most enthusiastic applause when
delivered at Brooklyn and other northern
cities. and 1t is regarded as one Of the most
eloquent, graphic, and touching utterances
ever heard from the platform. Other fea-
lures Of attraction in addition to the lee
ture are contemplated. and 1t Is certain
that the audience will abundantly get the
worth Of their money aside from the con-
sciousness of helping a grand work Of
charity.

There Is good reason for believing that
Postmaster-General Bissell win soon reach
. conclusion as to the printing Of postage
stamps which will result in that work being
done by the government itself at the Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing. AS was
indicated In The Star some time ago, such
o change is regarded favorably by promi-
nent officials in the Post once and Treas
nry Departments. they failing to under
stand why the government should print its
own money and internal-revenue stamps
and turn over the manufacture of postage
stamps to a private firm, whose establish
hshment Is located at a point far distant
from the seat of government. OF course
this tendency toward a better method will
rect with strenuous opposition from those
who are personally interested in having
the industry remain in New York. but the
distractions thus erected are not serious
enough to demand more than passing at
tention. There Is no rivalry between this
city and New York as to manufactures, so
argument from the purely commercial
standpoint Is out Of place-Washington does
not seek increase at the expense OF any
other center-but 1t is beyond question that
all departmental work should be done where
the closest scrutiny and the greatest econ
omy are possible and that means WASH
ington. The fact. however, that with the
proposed change. IL 1t takes place. will come
an enlargement Of the field of local indus
tries and the opening Of new avenues of
employment. while not a consideration OF
any weight with the government does fur
nish abundant reason for encouragement OF
this businesslike and economical notion by
all who have the best interests Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia at heart
Secretary Carlisle has evidently made up
his mind as to which Is the better way, for
In his annual report. forwarded to Congress
today. he says that the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing executes all of such work
required by the Treasury and much Of that
required by the other departments. THE
most considerable work Of this kind now
executed outside Of the bureau" he con-
tinues, ais the postage stamps and postal
notes required by the Post Office Depart
ment. 1t might be well for Congress to
consider the advisability Of having this por-
ton Of the work Of the government also ex-
ecuted by this bureau, as 1t has all the IA
cilities for executing 1t and would afford
perfect security to the government. 1t
would seem to present an anomalous con-
dition Of affairs for the government to
maintain a large establishment for the ex-
ecution of this character of work and yet
have a part OF it done in private establish
ments." There Is nothing weak about that
argument

The administration has reached a point
where. in accordance with its own view of
the facts. 1t can properly abandon the cause
Of ex-Queen LII. It has accepted for the
United States the responsibility Of dethron-
ing her. and has offered to restore her pro-
vided she will refrain from numbering the
agents Of the republic In accomplishing her
temporary overthrow. The condition ex-
acted is really one Of royal clemency to-
ward the agents of the penitent republic. II
Lii shows herself so barbarous and blood
thirsty as to refuse restoration on these
terms the administration may well say to
her: Il have begged your pardon abjectly
for the wrong done you by my wicked pre-
decessor, but If, when restored, you are
going to behave in a revengeful, murderous
manner that will shock the world, and,
above all. discredit me. You will have to re-
store yourself"

Secretary Carlisle's conclusions as to the
national finances have been awaited with
considerable Impotence il not with anxiety
and now that his views are in the possess
SION of Congress, there is possibility of leg
isiatfve action which viii put the Treasury
In better condition than it has known for
some months past The Secretary estimates
the probable deficiency at the close of the
present fiscal year at s2S,0o0.o0o. and then
proposes to straighten things up and have
q comfortable balance on hand by issuing
bonds to the amount of 500 900, OOO-these
securities to bear a lower rate of interest
and to run a shorter time than the three per
cents now provided for by law. This large
issue Is deemed necessary by the secretary
because he believes there will be considera-
bic revenue deficiencies during the years 1894
and 1895. AS an alternate proposition the
secretary suggests that in seasons of neces-
n&ty he, or whoever else may be Secretary
Of the Treasury. shall be empowered to sup
ply deficiencies in the revenue by executing
from time to time, as may be necessary,
the obligations Of the government, not ex-
ceeding in the aggregate SJ0.OOOOOO, bear
Ing rate Of interest not greater than 3
Der cent and payable after one year from
date. and that he be permitted to sell them
than par. in the payment of public expenses
70 such creditors as may be willing to re-
ceive them These requests for help are
mere than words; they are real. and demand
speedy relief. With a frankness born of
desperation, the secretary says that the
condition of the treasury is such that '.un-
less some available means are promptly
provided by law for supplying the growing
deficiency. the public service win be serious
iy impaired. and pensioners and other cred
itors subjected to great delay and incon-
Venience- Congress alone has the power to
adopt such measures as will relieve the
present situation and enable the treasury to
continue the punctual payment of all legiti-
nate demands upon 1t, and l respectfully
but earnestly urge that immediate attention
De given to the subject" The secretary
stands on solid ground when he urges upon
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-12-20

Congress the necessity for extending his
discretionary power so that against the
most adverse of circumstances he may be
able to maintain the reserve, preserve credit,
assure stability and preserve the parity of
the principal coin metals. Then he dives
deeply into the tariff problem, and Is ortho-
dox or heretical, according to the point of
view. He Is emphatic in his opinion that
revision of our tariff laws is necessary in
''the interests of greater Industrial and
commercial freedom" and warns the House
Of Representatives that II was chosen by
the people to do the reforming. His argu-
ment is for tariff taxation that knows no
favoritism and for duties that are ad valor-
EN- rather than specific, declaring the ad
valorem system to be the American sys-
ten-"recognized as just and equitable by
the people in all the states in their laws for
the assessment and collection of local reve-
nues." To free raw material the Secretary
looks for great results. He Is sure that
with 1t as permanent feature Of our reve-
nue. legislation the demand for labor
would steadily grow with the extension Of
trade. while the enlarged opportunities for
the profitable investment of capital would
stimulate the spirit Of enterprise among our
people and greatly diminish the danger Of
periodical suspensions, lockouts. and strikes
which have in recent years so seriously in
terrupted our industrial progress'-an op-
timistic statement as to the accuracy Of
which there are at least two opinions. Mr..
Carlisle is of the opinion that an increase
of S5O.0OO,0OO In the revenue for the fiscal
year 1895 will be possible through an in
crease Of ten cents per gallon on distilled
spirits. additional taxes on cigars and cigar
playing cards. cosmetics and perfumery,
legacies and SUGGESTIONS. and incomes deriv-
ed from investments in stocks and bonds of
corporations and joint stock companies.
The latter proposition is rich In the seed of
controversy. and will reach fruition only,
If ever, after a prolonged struggle The
report Is a clear statement of conditions,
and the Secretary's views are presented
with ability.
