mcnt In which it Is most difficult 10 re-
trench without impalring the efficiency
Of the service. When receipts decline
by reason OF business depression II Is
still necessary to maintain the facilities
of the service. The people. however do
not complain at the annual deficiency
so long MS the standard of the service
Is kept high and improved as circum-
stances require. 1t is only when 1t Is
allowed TO deterlorate, as was the case
during the last two years of Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration, when the
railway mail service was made to serve
q political purpose, that there is pop
ular complaint at a discrepancy be
tween receipts and expenditures. At
present the service appears to be gen
orally good and 1t is simple truth to say
that this is i'm no small degree due to
the observance by Postmaster Generals
Bissell and Wilson of the excellent bus
mess methods instituted by their repub-
lican predecessor. Postmaster General
Wunamaker. The name of the latter
will always be identified with practical
reforms and improvements In the serv-
ice the wisdom of which have been
fully justified by results. Postmaster
General Wilson urges further appli-
cation of civil service rules to the de-
partment and he is undoubtedly cor
rect in the opinion that the effect of
doing this would be good. No fact in
connection with the public service is
better established than that civil serv-
ice reform has improved the efficiency
of every branch of 1t.

FAYOR SPECIFIC DUTIES.

There is movement on foot among
stitution or partial substitution of spe-
cific for ad valorem duties on many
lines of merchandise, the object being
to check the growth of the consignment
business. rs now largely practiced by
foreign merchants, and to prevent I'M
deryaluations. One importing mer-
chart said that the majority of foreign
manufacturers will not sell outright.
simply because they couldn't defraud
this government. They will sell only
through their agents in this country.
This enables the making of prices by
the manufacturer that will save him
something in the matter of duties, his
gain in this respect being at the eX-
pense of the treasury.
The indications are that this question
of substituting specific for al valorem
duties will be very seriously considered
by the coming congress and undoubt-
edly some changes will be made,
though il is not probable that there will
be general revision, as the eastern
importers appear to desire. 1t Is. per-
haps, not possible to ascertain with ac-
curacy how much the government has
lost through undervaluatiOns since the
present tariff law went into operation,
but unquestiOnably the amount runs
NJ into the millions. Such system is
utterly indefensible and ought not to be
tolerated longer than Is necessary to
get rid of it. 1t Is to be apprehended,
however, that Mr.. Cleveland will not
take this view of the matter.

Philadelphi;i's City Hall cnd Its In
ferminahIe Construction.

WASHINGTON has by no means a monopoly
on snail-like construction of public build
ings The following remarks by the New
York Herald, in its further comments yes
terday on the Philadelphia political ring.
may be read with local interest by those
who have watched the tedious course Of
the CITY post Cftice building:
ASK the combine how much money has
been wantonly wasted upon the great pile
of marble at the intersection of Broad
and Market streets and you'll get for an
answer a genuine hog combine grunt.
Since 1890 81, 100000 has been expended,
trifle over a million a year, but according
to the combines story not penny has
been wasted, The buildings capaciousness
for consuming money seems without limit,
as does the stock of patience in the aver
age Philadelphian's mental composition.
Millions have been spent on the magnnl-
cent structure and fruitlesS efforts have
been made to abolish the commission in
charge, but the combine simply smiles and
proceeds on its way. Cracked stones are
removed to be replaced by new ones and
still the building persists in crushing its
keystoneS and splintering window siiis
and walls.
THE taxpayers have no right to inquire
into such matters, and 1t is none of their
business Il the marble be below the stand
ard quality and the architecture untrust-
worthy: there is plenty of marble within
the reach of the combine, and what does
it matter about the cost? Still this patch
ing up at the foundation before the dome
is completed or William Penn gets fairly
settled is becoming extremely monotonous,
and the people who are putting up the casn
want to know when the nonsense is going
to cease. PENIS nose may point to the
north, for all they care but what they
are most interested in is the time when
the 6o.oo0-pound fellow will jump on the
Combine and crush out its life.
Across Broad street, in the very shadow
Of the white elephant the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has within the last two
years erected an immense new station,
covering quite as many square feet as that
occupied by the public buildings. The
comparison between the time consumed in
building the station and that occupied in
patching the marble pile is being severely
commented upon by citizens who seemingly
forget that there We're no jobs in the sta
ton or no combine looking after divvies."

THE ROCK CREEK PARK
Suggestions Made to the Temporary Com
mission to Assess Benefits.
Gen. Henderson Says the District PeO-
pie Should Not Be Taxed for
the Whole Country.

The temporary Rock Creek Park commits
sion, which met Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of proceeding to ascertain and as
sess the benefits resulting from the maxi
ing of the park, as stated in The Star, ad-
journed after being in session for an hour
and half until o'clock Saturday. the
10Th instant In addition to the objections
mentioned in Saturdays Star, MIR. Arthur
Machen, on behalf of the Blagden estate
and himself, filed objections similar to
those presented on behalf of the other
land owners, denying that any benefits mad
accrued to adjacent property, or to any
other, and denying also that the commis-
sion could lawfully make the proposed as
sessment. Mr.. Calderon Carlisle made sew
eral suggestions, outlining what he thought
would be the proper course to be taken by
the commission in the making of the as
sessment. All objections were directed to
be filed, Gen. Casey explaining that the
commission would refer them to the At
torney General, for the purpose of having
the benefit of his advice. The commission,
stated Gen. Casey, would also ask the At
torney General to hear such arguments as
those presenting the objections desired TO
make in the matter.
Among the suggestions made to the COM
mission was one by Mr.. w. A. Mckenny,
who thought that as the case had already
been in the District Supreme Court, and
would, under the provisions of the act,
again be presented to the court, the COM
mission should refer all questions arising
to the court.
Previous to the adjournment of the COM
mission, ex-senator John b. Henderson of
Missouri made quite IN impassoned speech,
in which he questioned the right Of Con-
greSS to authorize the assessment about TO
be made If the people of the District were
to be taxed for the benefit of the people
- ,1,n14 h.
why Congress should not require the peo-
pie here to pay for the buildings erected
for use by the national government. He
did not for a moment object to the forma-
tion of the park but he did object to the
manner in which Congress sought to COM
pei the people of the District to pay for
something which that body had declared
to be for the benefit of the people Of the
whole country. To have been consistent
Congress should have taxed the people of
Idaho for the expense incidental to the
formation and care of the Yellowstone
Park. The proposition, he declared, was
the most monstrous and dangerous he had
ever heard Of and if calmly submitted to
would lead Congress to impose still fur
ther burdens on the people of the District.
The idea that the people of the District,
absurd and unjust as it is, shall assume
and pay fer not only the expenses of the
local but also of the national government
at the capital of the nation growing,
and as an illuStra ton of that fact he stat
ed that during the recent campaign in Mis-
souri, twelve of the fourteen candidates for
Congress preached such an idea, and the
idea, he was panied to say, was literally
applauded.
