MORE DEPARTMENTS WANTED.

A proper spirit of economy warrants serious
doubt whether the various projects for multiply
ing the departments Of government would Sc
cure for the people benefits commensurate with
the increase Of expenditures. 1t Is always the
natural tendency to Increase departments and
bureaus as each interest or branch Of business
imagines it might be materially benefited If
there were separate department Of the Gov
eminent created to look after It. But there is
reason for grave doubt whether this extension
of the energies Of government is In the right d.
rectlon.
Now It IS proposed to have a special depart
ment devoted to the interests Of commerce and
manufactures. But manufactures are not n
branch of the Government Of the United States,
nor Is commerce. Both are industries or inter-
ests Of the people which, in common with all
other interests and industries, 1t is the business
of government to protect and defend. but what
can a separate department, with great army
Of clerks and 'bOokkeepers. specialists and stalls
ticians,' and with bureaus and documents in
Vulnerable do, for either branch OF the people 8
industry which they are not able to do and are
not now doing for themselves? If there be any
such service the question is whether it will be
~
time when the Treasury Is severely embarrassed.
1t is proposed to transfer to this Department
all the consular service Of the United States,
and in effect to make the selection of persons to
represent the country abroad in this capacity to
depend entirely upon their efficiency in promot-
ing the commerce Of the country. In that case
there Is the danger that the far more important
objects for which such officials were created
would be materially neglected or sacrificed. 1t
does not follow that the right man to look after
foreign markets for merchants or manufacturers
Of this country would also be just the right man
to protect the rights Of American citizens in for
eign countries, to care for seamen, to assist
travellers and defend their interests when as
sailed. to look after the rights and the honor Of
the United States Government in foreign ports,
and to give to the shipping Of the country such
guardianship and care as it there requires. The
multiplicity Of interests which the consular
service is originally organized to care for would
In measure be neglected. and might, In fact, be
directly sacrificed. If it st0Ild be made the prn-
cipal function Of the consular officer to build
I'D in foreign ports markets for American prod
ucts. He would then become, In the very nature
of the case, a seeker for favor at the hands Of
the most influential classes in foreign ports and
would be obliged many times to sacrifice either
the disposition of traders and bankers in such
ports to increase American commerce or the
rights and the interests Of the Nation and Of Its
citizens abroad.

There is nothing settled as yet as
to the Ohio senatorship, and this seems
TO unsettle the seat that Sherman was
to take as secretary of state. What
is to be the outcome Of that senatorial
appointment doth not yet appear. 1t is
certain that Bushnell will not appoint
Hanna, and it is not certain that I'M
less he does Mr.. Sherman will vacacte
his seat Treasury John does not de-
sire the place that is rendered him,
that is certain. he was very 10th to
take it into consideration, and any
change on the Mckinley chess board
that will leave Mr.. Sherman in the
Senate will be Acceptable to him as
we'll as to Ohio. Sherman would
make great secretary of state. He
is wise, conservative. strong with the
country, thoroughly American, re-
spected abroad. his ability conceded
on two continents. has had a long
term of public service, is level headed,
and is hated by Teller This last is
no mean recommendation. II may be
to Mr.. Sherman's interests to remain
in the Senate. but the country wants
him for state secretary.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY p, 1897.

The Colorado women have donned
war paint, in addition to the other
kind, and feathers and sailed in to the
press Of the state for their ungallant
charge upon the female brigade. 1t
seems that the present Legislature,
the one that returned Teller to the
Senate, is one of the worst ever elect
ed in that state. The press have gen.
orally characterized it as a den of
thieves, and incidentally remarked
that it was elected by the votes Of the
women Of the state. Now the woman
appears, paint on her face, fire in her
eye and words that sting upon hel
tongue. Colorado deserves all that
she gets.
