A NEW DEPARTMENT PROPOSED.

There is 8 well defined movement on foot in Washington and among leading republicans Ito add another de partment to the government and ere ate as it's head another cabinet off cer to be known as the secretary of commerce. and industry. The subject has been discussed before, but with out taking definite or practical shape
 In all of the European cab. there Is a department of this kind. The duties pertaining to such branch involve the collecting and tab ulating of statistics relating to the industries of the country and further ance of measures looking ito the ex- tension of the foreign commerce of the nation and the expansion of lha domestic trade. Our census bure.u and labor bureau and agricultural de- partment now divide, in a way. a work something like this, but it is conkended that only a seperae de- partment with cabinet officer at it's head can fully accomplish the ends in view.
 The productive energies and busi ness interests of the United States have undoubtedly reached that point where one of two things is absolutely necessary for general prosperity either domestic consumption must be increased or our export trade be e. 1arocd Tho ann11a1 S11rp1uc in thir country must be more proftably dis posed of before the "real good times" return
 If the organization of a departments devoted exclusively to the intelligent solution of our trade problem would promise satisfactory results, the ad~ ditional expense involved in the crs- ation of the new offices could be en- dured with complacency. But the public would expect and demand something in the way of accomplish ment. If the purpose of the creation of a new department be simply to furnish new opportunities for appli- cants for office and increase the pat ronage of the party in power, the scheme is an unworthy one and can not too soon be scotched. We have too many dignifed sinecures in the government service now and are too hard run financially to expend money on rainbow chasing bureaus or orna- mental departments
 Properly organized, however, and oficerad by men of special fitness for the work to be done, it might be pos- sible to aid the commerc al interests of the nation greatly through the proposed department of commerce and industry. The proposition is worthy the careful consideration of congress at any rate.

 Ambassador Hay was present at literary club dinner the other day in London, where several of ths speak CTS tried to draw him out by rema k ing on the difference between the British and the United States goverm- ments in the matter of appointing journalists to office, especially in the foreign service. After some parrying of pointed questions Mir Hay sought refuge from the whole discussion in a pleasant evasion. 'I won't say" he remarked, "why we send our jour nalists and men of letters abroad. But the reason is evident why yours are not sent abroad: They are need- ed for home consumption
