INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Suggested That Additional Reforms
Be InGSIEurated.

The interstate commerce commission
has, during the last year, supplied abund-
ant evidence of it's usefulness and the i'm
pOrtance of work committed to it's charge.
Public transportation is a universal neces-
sity, and the question of just and reason
able charges therefor has become of vital
Importance, not only to shippers and car
riers, but also the vast multitude Of
producers and consumers, The justice and
equity of the principles embodied in the
existing law, passed for the purpose of
regulating these charges, are everywhere
conceded, and there appears to be no
question that the policy thus entered upon
has a permanent place in our legislation.
AS the present statute, when enacted,
was in the nature of the case more or less
tentatire and experimental it was hardly
expected to supply complete and ade-
quate system While it's wholesome effects
are manifest and have amply justified its
enactment, it is evident that all desired
reforms in transportation methods have
not been fully accomplished
In view of the judicial Interpretation
which some provisions of this statute have
received and the defects disclosed by
the efforts made for its enforcement, it's
revision and amendment appear to be es-
sential to the end that it may more effect
lively reach the evils most desired to be
corrected. I hope the recommendation Of
the commissions upon this subject will be
promptly and favorably considered by tie
Congress.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Wants FOurth-CIass Postmaster
ships Included in the List.

The progress made in civil service reform
furnishes cause for the utmost congratu-
lations. It has survived the doubts of it's
friends as we'll as the rancor of it's enc
mics and has gained a permanent place
among the agencies destined to cleanse our
politics and to improve, economic and ele-
vate the public service.
There are now in the competitive CLASH
fed service upward OF "a 900 places. More
than half of these have been included from
time to time since March A. 1893. most
radical and sweeping extension was made
by executive order dated the 9th day Of
May 1896, and, if fourth-class postmaster
ships are not included in the statement,
it may be said that practically all positions
contemplated by the civil service law are
now classified. Abundant reasons exist for
including these postmasterships, based up
on economy and improved service and the
peace and quiet of neighborhoods. If, how
ever, obstacles prevent such action at
present, 1 earnestly hope that Congress
will without increasing postoffice appro-
priations so adjust them as to permit in
proper cases a consolidation Of these post
Offices, to the end that through this pro-

THE PENSION ROLL.
Alleged Abuses Are Commented Up
ON by the President.

Alleged Abuses Are Commented Up
ON by the President.
The dimunition Of our enormous pension
roll and the decrease Of pension expendi-
ture, which have been SO often confidently
foretold, still fail in material realization
The number Of pensioners on the rolls at
the close of the fiscal year ended June &c.
1896, was 970,67S. This is the largest
number ever reported. The amount paid
exclusively for the pensions during the
year was $138, PA, 1894, a slight decrease
from that of the preceding year. while the
total expenditures on account of pensions,
including the cost of maintaining the de-
partment and expenses attending pensions
distribution amounted to SAP, 206, 55059, or
within a very small fraction Of one-third
Of the entire expense Of supporting the
government during the same year. The
number of new pension certificates issued
was so, GAO. Of these, 40,374 represent or
iginal allowances Of claims and 1878 in
crease Of existing pensions.
The number of persons receiving pen
sicns from the United States but residing
in foreign countries at the close of the
last fiscal year was 1871, and the amount
paid to them during the year was $780,
1858
The sum appropriated for the payment
Of pensions for the current fiscal year end
ing June sc, 1897, is $40 900, 900 and for
the succeeding year IL is eSIlmaIed tnaC
the same amount Will be necessary.
The commissioner Of pensions reports
that during the last fiscal year 339 indict-
nents were found against violators of the
pension laws. Upon these indictments 167
convictions resulted.
In my opinion such statements as these,
and much other information and observa-
ton, the abuses which have been allowed
to creep into our pension system have done
incalculable harm in desnoralizing our peo-
pie and undermining good citizenship.
have endeavored within my sphere of Of
fetal duty to protect our pension roll and
make it what it should be-a roll of honor,
containing the names Of those disabled IN
their country's service and worthy OF their
couutry's affectionate remembrance.
When 1 have seen those who pose as the
soldiers friends active and alert in urg-
ing greater laxity and more reckless pen
sion expenditure, while nursing selfish
schemes, have deprecated the approach of
a situation when necessary retrenchment
and enforced economy may lead to an at
tack upon pension abuses so determined as
to overlook the discrimination due to those
who, worthy of nations care, ought to
live and die under the protection of the
nations gratitude.

cess the result desired may to limited ex-
tent be accomplished.
The civil service rules as amended dur
ing the last year provide for a sensible
and uniform method Of promotion, basing
eligibility to better positions upon demon
strated efficiency and faithfulness. The
absence of fixed rules on this subject has
been an infirmity in the system more and
more apparent as it's other benefits have
been better appreciated.
Offensive Partisanshfp.
The advantages of civil service methods
IN their business aspects are too well I'M
derstood to require argument. Their ap-
plication has become a necessity to the
executive work of the government. But
these who gain positions through the OPP
Grafton of these methods should be made to
understand that the non-partisan scheme
through which they receive their appoint
ments demands from them, by way OF
reciprocity, nOn-partiSan and faithful per-
Torrance Of duty under every administra-
tion and cheerful fidelity to every chief.
While they should be encouraged to de-
Gently exercise their rights of citizenship
and to support through their SURFACES the
political beliefs they honestly profess, the
noisy, pestilent and partisan employee.
who loves political turmoil and contention
or who renders lax and grudging service
to an administration not representing his
political views, should be promptly and
fearleSsly dealt with in such way as to
furnish warning to others who may be
likewise disposed.
The annual report Of the commissioners
Will be duly transmitted and l commend
the important matter they have in charge
to the careful consideration Of Congress.

OUR MILITARY FORCES.
State Militia Should Be Supplied
With Modern Arms.

The report of the secretary of war ex-
hibits satisfactory conditions in the sew
eral branches of the public service intrust-
ed to his charge. The limit of our military
force, as fixed by law, is constantly and
readily maintained. The present discipline
and morals of our army are excellent and
marked progress and efficiency are ap
parent throughout its entire organization.
With the exception of delicate duties in
the suppression of slight Indian disturb
snceS along our Southwestern boundary,
in which the Mexican troops cooperated,
and the compulsory but peaceful return
with the consent of Great Brittany of
band of Cree Indians from Montana to the
British possessions, no active operations
have been required Of the army during the
year past.
Changes in methods of administration,
the abandonment of unnecessary posts and
consequent concentration of troops and the
exercise Of care and vigilance by the va
rious officers charged with the RESPONSE
bility in the expenditure of the appropria-
tions, have resulted in reducing to a min
imum the cost Of maintenance of our mil
itary establishment. During the past year
the work of constructing permanent infan-
try and cavalry posts has been continued
at the places heretofore designated.
The secretary of war repeats his recon-
mendation that appropriations for barracks
and quarters should more strictly conform
10 the ueSQS Oh the SERVICE as JuQS0Q ny Tie
department rather than respond to the
wishes and opportunities of localities. 1t
is imperative that much Of the money pro-
vided for such construction should now be
allotted to the erection of necessary quar-
ters for the garrisons assigned to the coast
defenses, where many men will be needed
to properly care for and operate modern
guns. It is essential, too, that early pro-
vision be made to supply the necessary
force of artillery to meet the demands of
the service.
Improved Arms for the Militia.
The entire army has now been equipped
with the new magazine arms and wise pol
icy demands that all available public and
private resources should be so employed as
to provide within a reasonable time a suf-
f1cient number to supply the state militia
with these modern weapons and provide an
ample reserve for any emergency.
The organized militia numbers 112879
men. The appropriations for it's support by
the several states approximate 81, 100000
annually and $500 600 is contributed by the
general government. Investigation shows
these troops to be we'll drilled and inspect
ed with much military interest, but in
many instances they are so deficient IN
proper arms and equipment that sudden
call to active duty would find them made
qlately prepared for field service. l there
fore recommend that prompt measures be
taken to remedy this condition and that
every encouragement be given to this de-
serving body of unpaid and voluntary citi-
zen soldiers upon whose assistance We
must largely rely in time of trouble.

defense alone is essentially pacific in Its
nature. While it gives the sense of Sc
curity due to a consciousness of strength,
it is neither the purpose nor the effect OF
such permanent fertilization to involve us
in foreign complications, but rather to
guarantee us against them. These are
not temptation to war, but security against
it. Thus they are thoroughly in accord
with all the traditions Of our national
diplomacy.

AboIitian of the Free Distribution
of Seeds Defended.

The Department of Agriculture is SO in

FOR FEDERAL PRISONS.
Proposition to Do Away With Con-
tracts With the States.

The encouragement presents detailed
and interesting statement Of the important
work done under his supervision during
the last fiscal year. The ownership and
management by the government or pen1-
tentiaries for the confinement Of those con-
victed in United States courts OF viola
lions of federal laws, which for many years
has been a subject of executive recon-
mendation, has at last, to slight extent,
been realized by the utilization OF the
abandoned military prision at Fort LeaVen-
worth as United States penitentlary rms
is certainly a move in the right direction,
but it ought to be at once supplemented
by the rebuilding or extensive enlargement
Of this improvised prison, and the con-
struction of at least one more, to be located
in the Southern safes. The capacity or the
Leavenworth penitentiary is so limited tnat
the expense of it's maintenance, calculated
at a per capita rate upon the number or
prisoners it can accommodate, does not
make as economical an exhibit as 1t would
if it were larger and better adapted to
prison purposes, but am thoroughly con-
WINGED that economy, humanity and a
proper sense of responsibility and duty to-
ward those whom we punish for violations
of federal Jaw dictate that the federal gov
eminent should have the entire control
and management of the penitentiarles
where convicted violators are confined. 1t
appears that since the transfer or the Fort
Leavenworth military prison to its new
uses the work previously done by prison
ers confined there, and for which expensive
machinery has been provided. has been
discontinued This work consisted or the
manufacture Of articles for army use now
done elsewhere. On all grounds 1t is eX-
ceedingly desirable that the convicts con-
fined in this penitentiary be allowed to re-
sumo work of this description.
AbOIishing the Fee System.
It is most gratifying to note the salts
factory results that have followed the IN
auguration of the new system provided Tor
by the act of May %, 1896, under which
certain Federal officials are compensated
by salaries instead of fees The new plan
was put in operation on the 1st day OF July
1896 and already the great economy II
enforces, its prevention of abuses, and its
tendency to a better enforcement OF the
laws are strikingly apparent. Detailed evil
dence of the usefulness OF this long de-
layed, but now happily accomplished re
form will be found clearly set forth IN the
attorney-generaPs report.
