WASTE AS WELL AS THEFT.

There is said to be sufficient reason
for believing that the Cuban postal
frauds have been grossly exaggerated
in irresponsible gossip, and that the
amount actually stolen does not ex-
ceed $4,000. 1t is TO be hoped that
this comparatively modest estimate
will prove correct, and at the same
time that II it does the circumstances
VIII not give rise TO undue satisfaction.
The disgrace involved. the New York
Tribune correctly declares. is not
measured by the proportions of the
theft, and it is safe to say that II any
disposition should be shown in official
circl.s to push the scandal out OF sight
as a thing of trivial Importance af-
ter all. It would not be generally shar-
ed by the people. Moreover. there is
another point to be considered. How
much money has been wasted on the
postal establishment in Cuba in addi-
tion to the amount stolen? And If
the amount so frittared away is large,
what does the fact suggest as to the
spirit in whi,h public servants have
entered lpon their duties in that de-
partmen5, and perhaps in other depart
ments there and elsewhere in our new
dependencies?
We have 40 wish to encourage need
less suspicious, but there is much food
fer thought in the announcement of
what Mr. Bristow. acting director of
posts in Cuba, has already accom-
plished in the way Of reorganizing the
headquarters stan at Havana. By COM
biuations. dismissals and reductions
he has cut down the salary list right |
there by more than $4,000. and it is
not intimated that his economies are /
merely for temporary effect and likely
TO impair the efficiency of the service.
The probability, on the contrary. is
that he has got rid of men who have
beer standing in one another's way and
that the smaller force. imbued with a
new sense of obligation. will do the
work better than it has ever been done
before. II would certainly be unjust to
condemn with extreme severity a sub
ordinate in the public service merely
because he kept a comfortable berth at
good salary while conscious hat the
force to which he belonged could be
proftably reduced, and that in conse-
quence he was an illustration Of the
wasteful manner in which the public
business was being transacted. But
the men in control. however incapable
of personal dishonesty, cannot in
such a case be acquitted of the grave
charge Of unfaithfulness to plain duty.
If their excuse is that they have on
ly fallen in with the extravagant prac-
tice of the times, the fact that it is a
familiar excuse does not make it ac-
ceplable.
The modern cost of government is
enormous, and the constant tendency

Salt lake, Feb. 22.-Who will claim
this sum approaching $4,000 that is ly-
ing to the credit of Prosper Chazzell in
thu Deseret Swings bank?
This is the query that has fitted
through the minds CT the officials of
the bank at intervals ever since 1t
became positively known that the
depositor had been murdered in this
city and his remains shipped to Chic
ago as household goods, where they
wer1 sold as such and afterward
created such a sensation.
The deposit of $500 WIS made by
Chazz5ll about January Is, 1893, and
the regular interest hiss been added
y arly since that time. Cashier Smith
, says he well remembers the man max
| ing the deposit and also the issuance
of the bank book. The latter he has
nzv-r seen since. Across the face OF
the entry on the l'--ks of the bank
is a notation to the effect that the
chief of police is to be called in case
any one att mpts to draw the money.
Cashier Smith says he has heard from
no CGo since the time, about a year
after the man disappeared, when a
Letter was received here asking Judge
McDcwall to look after the matter
and which WIS said TO have Leen
written by a sister of the murdered
man. Judge Mcdowell said he would
imagine from the style of the cores
pondence that his would-be client was
a woman of culture and refinement.
Yet it is possible that the letters
were written by her attorney in Mar
settles, from which city they were
mailed. Letters of administrator were
talked of at the time. but w.re new
er taken out.
We have the money all right" says
the cashier, and we are ready to pay
principal and interest whenever any
body can show to us that Chazzell is
dead. and that the applicant is a legal
representative CT the deceased. In my
own mind there is no doubt but that
it vas Chazzell who was murdered, and
I have no doubt, either, but that the
women who made an effort to get his
money is the one whom he lived with
while here and not his sister"
Detective Sheets continues firm IT
the belief expressed at the time that
the body found was not that of Chaz'
zell, but that OF Crawford, the Evan
ston r~ancher, who was killed about
three weeks previous to the shipmen'
Of the body from this city.
This may or may not be true, hui
there is one thing pcsitive-Chazzel
is dead. If he were still in the lane
eft living the $500 deposited at thu
bank over seven years ago would no
be lying there now.
