WAsHINGroN, May lS.-A bill has
been introduced in the House almost AT
the close of the session, it Is true) to
create a new executive department, to
be known a. the Department of Com
merce. Perhaps it is only a tenta
tive suggestion, advanced without the
expectation of immediate success, and
intended 10 sound public sentiment
with respect to the innovation. Wheth-
er ii be that or "a bona tide proposition.
there can be no question that Il Depart
ment of Commerce would serve very
useful purpose. The creation OF such a
department, whose chief would be one
of the presidents constitutional advis-
ors, would be a proper acknowledge
ment of the Importance of one OF the
great factors in the prosperity of the
country: a proper concession 10 the
wide spread interest represented by and
in commerce. just as the institution of
the Department of Agriculture was a
practical acknowledgement of the fac
tor in national wealth.

THE MOON BOTHERED JULIET.

ed plays that would last all day, and
when told him that we had none of
sufficient elasticity he replied that when
it was all ended we would start all over
again. Well, we did. The manager was
impressed with the necessity of having
"a moon, and that Juliet, as near as pos
sible, should always be kept in the
moonlight.
well. the balcony scene arrived. and
there was no moon, but IN the midst OF
Romeo's most passionate wooing, which,
SO far as ;he light on the stage was con-
cerned, might have taken place at mid
day, the moon suddenly appeared. 1t
was in the form Of "A lantern fixed on a
bamboo pole and was swayed before my
face by little Jap who stood beneath
the balcony in full view Of the audience.
The audience didn't seem TO mind it in
the least, but il made me very nervous,
and every time Romeo would pour forth
his soul | would circulate, Take away
that moon. But the boy was mindful
Of his instructions, that Juliet was al
ways to be in tie moonlight, and dur
ing the rest Of the performance every
time | came on the stage | was pursued
by that awful moon. Nothing could in
duce the boy 10 desist, and so the moon
held full sway. "-Rochester Union and

There would be al4pe work TO do
for the ID 2 partment of Commerce. Sew
eral Of the other executive departments
would be at once relieved OF functions
that do not properly pertain TO them.
The whole consular service FOR instance.
would be transferred Immediately from
the State Department TO the Depart
ment of Commerce, and the Treasury
Department would be relieved of sever
al of its bureaus. All such that deal
with industrial and statistical matters,
such As the bureau of statistics, the bu
reau OF labor, the census bureau, and
others invested with functions having a
direct bearing upon the country's in
ternal and external commercial pro-
gress would have a proper place in the
new department As regards the treas
ury Department, the accession of a
Secretary of Commerce would give the
Secretary of the Treasury an opportuni
ty TO devo himself more closely to the
great questions that fall legjtim ately
within the sphere of his official activity
and would relieve him of much work
that now re tards his usefulness as the
financial officer of The government. In
many ways would the value of De
partment of Commerce be demOnstra-
ted, and it is to be hoped that the great
commercial centers of the country will
give the matter proper thought and inn
press upon their representatives, either
in this or the next congress the desir
ability OF having such department
added TO the nine now existing.

In the face of the adverse report OF
the Nicaragua Canal com mission, OF
which Lieut.. Col. Ludlow was the PRES
ident, and that offers very damaging
evidence before the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
the committee by vote of s to six
members being absent-has agreed to
report favorably upon the bill pledging
the credit of the United States on
six FIVE million dollars of the Nicar-
aqua Canal company's bonds. This
amount is insufficient TO complete the
work, the most conservative estimate
made by Col. Ludlow being Sl3S, 000,-
900, and even this he declares to be en-
tirely problematical, inasmuch as, ac-
cording to his judgement, an even APP
proXimately correct estimate of the
ultimate cost of the enterprise cannot
be made. In fact Col. Ludlow eX-
pressed serious doubts as TO the feast.
bility Of building a canal that would
be sufficient to accommodate either
great commercial or naval vessels.
Joined to this doubt was another ~ to
the limit of the obligations the United
States might be called upon to assume,
which, in his opinion. might reach ten
times the sum now calculated upon,
yet with this report before them. the
committee has favorably reported the
