Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-05-24
AnrI.N1sTnAr,vE REFORM.

For the hard and profitable work
1T has done toward the betterment
of administration the joint commits
sion on the executive department
is triumph of democratic principles
which will be more highly esteemed
by future generations than by the
present; for the reason that there is
nothing about it to stir the imagina-
ton or to employ the phrases of i'm
passioned oratory.
Already the commission has inform
ed congress Of ways to save 100000
a year, and when it has completed
its investigation of the army, navy
interior, state, agricultural and
attorney generals department will!
indicated saving Of $l,o00,o0o a
year.
This actual economy of money
however, is not the most valuable
result of its labors. The law which
will follow its recommendation
will introduce systems of higher
efficiency. The saving in salaries
and expenses of Sl,0Oo,OO0 year
is the first result. In subsequent
years tens of millions will be saved
to the government by more rapid
and accurate accounting. More
effective checks and safeguards will
be introduced. Responsibilities
will be fixed. The public business
will be transacted more quickly and
public officers will he held stricter
accountability.
Nor is that all. The new and
better standards of administration
will compel the appointment of
more competent men. And the ex-
ample will have it's effect in state
and local government. Municipal
government, particularly, has long
outgrown its methods. Taking I'LL
the municipal corporations of this
country together, it is no doubt
easily true that more money is
wasted by bad methods in conduct
ing them than by both Federal and
State governments. In St Louis
we calculate now that nearly $780,
900 year is thrown away by in.
efficient organization and admins.
tration. The lessons of the Dockery
commission will permeate every.
where. Not only will the better
class of local and state officials use
the information furnished in the
reports Of the commission, but public
opinion will grasp the business
thus established and will demand
their application at home.
Possibly, too, a yet more profitable
effect will be seen in the conduct OF
private business. Congressman
Dockery has had the assistance Of
three of the ablest experts in bnsi
ness organization to be found in the
world. President Reinhart of the
Santa Fe railroad and Messrs
Haskins and Sells are men who com
mand great salaries in private bust
ness for their extraordinary capacity
in executive organization. Sinot
last June they have been going owe
the details with the commission
The changes introduced and th'
reports which proceed from th'
commission will be eagerly watched
\ by business men. In numberles
instances the idea will be utilized
! The aggregate gain in economy ant
efficiency may reach total to b.
:. counted in hundreds of millions
And the people will be the benefi
ciaries. The nation as whole viii

The Ruinor Was Correct.

The rumor that preceded the London
Music Hall Burlesque company" char
ac.eT;z;Sg it as low down variety show
was eminently correct. 1t is all that
and more too. 1t is an aggregation OF
broken down variety hacks who are
beating their way through the country
on the false representations that they
can sing. dance, act, and be funny; they
can do neither and Individually and col
lec.iye.y they are simply rotten. When
the advance agent turned up here wear
ing a celluloid collar and generous
supply Of rich black loan under his fin
ger nails we were somewhat suspicious
Of the outfit, but when he stated that
he only joined at Portland. We were in
clined to believe that his appearance
possibly did not reflect the show. At
his request this paper explained that
the title Music Hail. was English you
know" and in that sense did not imply
an indecent performance. This was all
We we're seduced into saying in favor Of
the outfit. and for this we ask pardon.
IL the hamfatters did not outrage the
moral sense Of their audience. they GER
tainly did the good sense. likewise the
sense Of sight and the sense Of hearing
and we don't know but the sense Of
smell also. The audience was quite
large unfortunately, and the gallery ap-
preciative. We understand that Mr..
Hefferlin, the manager of the Livings-
ston opera house, ,telegraphed to Manager
Ulmer that it was the best show he had
ever seen or words to that effect. This
being true. Mr.. Hetferlin is one Of three
things; he is either a danphool or joker
or wretch loaded to the neck with
malicious instincts, and he need never
again burden the wire running from
Livingston to Miles City with the wealth

Sister Cecilia Again on the Wit

1t Might Have Been Miss Pollard
Who Came 10 the Convent.
Defendants Lawyers Object to the
Witness Giving Opinion.
my Associated Prrsa)

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE tes-
timony OF Sister Cecilia, of Pueblo.
Col. formerly Superior of the Norwood
Asylum. near Cincinnati. was resumed
when the Breckinridge trial commenced
this morning.
Miss Pollard was again In the court
room. sitting nearly In front OF Col.
Breckenridge, with only the austere-faced
Sister from the House OF Refuge beside
her, her, other unknown friend being for
the first time absent.
Sister Cecilia, replying to Attorney
Carlisle's questions. said that she had
a good memory for names, but a pool
memory for faces. She could not affirm
positively hat Miss Pollard had beer
an inmate OF the Norwood Convent, MOI
could she say that she had not.
When Mr.. Carlisle inquired her belief
on the fact. Attorney Butterworth OBJ.
jected that while any Facts might be
given, the opinion of the wltnesswas in.
competent. Attorney Shelby added thai
the question Of the opinion of the wit.
ness was an attempt to invade the
province of the jury: hat II was fol
the witness to give facts and for the
Jury to draw conclusions therefrom. con.
tending that opinions were competent
from witnesses only In the field of ex.
pert testimony.
Mr.. Carlisle supported the Admissible.
ity of the answer with authorities and
Mr.. Butterworth hebutted with more
authorities.
Judge Bradley said that IL the ques.
ton was intended to elicit the opinion
of witnesses as to the identity of the
plaintiff with a certain person who was
at the asylum at a certain time. II was
competent; n 1t was intended to show
subsequently learned had become con.
WINGED that he Plaintiff had at SOM
ttmeb cen an inmate of the asylum, II
was Incompetent.
There a some hesitation on the par
of Miss Pollard's counsel in framing
question. 1t being apparent that tn
Sister was scrupulously careful abou
the extent to which she would commi
herself in identifying Miss Pollard.

INCREASED STOCK ORDERS.
They Help to Keep Up Prices on
Change.

The stock market continues strong and
prices are gradually creeping up under
manipulation by the professionals and
increased orders from outside account.
The Changers are strengthened by the
fact that the economies enforced by the
managers of the various lines are max
ing fairly satisfactory net results, despite
The heavy falling off in gross earnings.
An impetus has been given 10 the up
