New Honor for Victor Drummond.


Victor Drummond' retirement on the

envoy to the courts OF Munich and OF
Stuttgart, is about to be signalized by
his advancement in the Order of the

The Waste of Public Moneu.
Exemplifed in the Maintenance of Ger
tain Custom Houses.

We have repeatedly asserted in the
past, and we make the assertion once
more now, that but for the guilty
connivance of a majority of the mem
bers of Congress the extravaganza
and corruption in the management of
the Postofiice Department could never
have existed. We have also pointed
out that the attention of Congress
was repeatedly drawn to grave abuses
IN the service, indicating the existence
of widespread and deep-rooted cor
ruption, and that Congress not only
deliberately ignored these abuses, but
also treated the men who brought
charges against the administration of
the Postoffice Department as "hot-air
pushers."
In view Of the attitude Of Con-
gress maintained since 1895 toward
the Postofice Department we shall be
curious to see what it will do next
winter with reference to certain mat
tiers affecting the administration Of
the Treasury Department In say
ing this, we do not wish for a single
instance TO be understood as compar-
ing the management of the Treasury
Department, under Secretary Shaw.
with that of the PostOfiice Depart
ment, under Postmaster General
Payne, except TO say that Mr.. Shaw
sees the shortcomings of his depart
ment, draws the attention of Con-
eress to their existence, and seeks its
assistance in overcoming them, while
General Payne refuses to take notice
of abuses, treats those who uncover
them as wind-bags and scandal mon
gers, and is content to let corruption
lists run riot until he can get an APP
preparation TO Investigate" them.
Auditor Andrews, Of the Treasury
Department, draws attention anew 10
the useless and extravagant mainten-
snce of certain custom houses III the
country. At the port of Yaquina,
Ore, for instance, the annual re-
ceipts have for a quarter Of cen
tury averaged only 40 cents, while the
cost Of collecting it has amounted TO
S1,034.70 every year. At York, Me-,
the average annual receipts have been
&C cents, and the cost of collection
$3.50; at Kennebunk, in the same
State. 1922 and $3.50. The col
lection of S1.s0 at Albemarle, n. c..

of the game depends upon making 1t
SO. For if it were not possible to
enter the grandstand or the bleach
cries without subjecting oneself to
assault at the hands of a petulant
player, who of us would be willing to
invest good money in such a riskP a
seat in the grandstand surely is not
intended to be synonymous with an
accident insurance policy, or, if it be,
the home club should make it plain
that it will be responsible for all
damages inflicted upon the persons
of its patrons by Its high-tempered
players.
With the umpire, of course, IT IS
different. He is paid to take chances.
Ten dollars a day and expenses are
Isis emolument, and with this goes, as
II matter of course, smuggling and OBJ
jurgation, and even an occasional
murder-and the only way he has of
getting even is by persistent and IN
sistent filming, previous to his demise.
The umpire is the safety valve of the
noble and national game. Players
anxious TO stake it out of" anyone
should understand that he is there
for that purpose. He is old and tough
and accustomed TO it. But the spec
tator, even though he be a "kieker'
and "fan," Objectionable alike e
players and to his neighbors, rests
under the protection of the law, and
lnyst not be maltreated within thu
precincts of the baseball grounds.

The Field of Politics.
Bryan Men Up in Arms.

ID y dn NTH Up AZ <1AAAS-
No sooner had the tip gone forth that
Col Franklin Bartlett was the sure
thing in the race for the Tammany
mayoralty nomination than the Bryan
"pikers' rushed IN and made protest.
and. in consequence, it is not improb-
able that the card may be changed. Col
onel Bartlett is a popular man over IN
New York. but his popularity is not
likely to offset the antagonism Of the
Bryan irreconcilables when it comes to
counting the ballot. With them the col
onel has committed an objectionable sin,
or at least one which IL IL may be for
given in certain instances can never be
forgotten. and will continue TO rise and
trouble any man who aspires for Office.
Colonel Bartlett is guilty Of having
opposed the regular Democratic ticket
in 1895. and that campaign is still so
fresh in the minds of Colonel Bryan
friends that they are able to recall the
part taken in IT by any man who raises
his head in search OF public Office. and
are ready TO deliver a blow Besides
being popular. Colonel Bartlett is an
able man, graduate of Harvard, was a
student at Oxford. England, and a grad
uate Of Columbia Law School. and would

PIANO FROM ADDICKS
STARTS CLUB QUARREL
One Faction Would Accept, the Other
Refuse It.

WILMINGTON. Del, July 22.-"Shall
we accept piano bearing the name OF
J. Edward Addicks?" That's the ques-
ton that now agitates the Woman's
Club and Exchange of st. Georges.
So bitter is the controversy growing
out of the prefer OF an instrument that
the club has split into two factions and
dire results are threatened.
One element in the club insists upon
the acceptance of the piano, arguing
that music. even under such circum-
stances. will add to the attractions of
the clubhouse. Those opposing accep-
lance take a contrary view, saying: "No
Addicks piano for US"

Currency Legislation.
The Reforms to Be Urged Next Fall
Clouded in vagueness.

SASoNON IL 'o6aOASSS.

out the provisions of the reciprocity
treaty with Cuba but TO pass some
currency reform" legislation. has

ton. The Massachusetts, Senator in
Dictated only most vaguely the sort of
legislation to be recommended as a
solution of the so-called "elasic cur
rency" problem. And his reference
to the Presidents recent utterances
as guidepost to the reforms de-
sired rather clouded than cleared the
public's understanding of the pro-
posals which are to be laid before
Congress.
The Presidents message of Deem
Der 2, 1902, contained no explicit
recommendations as TO currency legis-
lation. II merely declared that "elas-
ticity" was quality to be encouraged
in our present system. At Quincy,
H., in April last, President Roose-
welt also urged that such elasticity
should be drought about by provi-
sions which will permit both contrac-
ton and expansion, as the varying
needs Of the several communities and
business interests may require"
Yet these deliverances are puz-
zlingly oracular. What the President
thinks and what he will suggest to
Congress is scarcely to be deduced
from such 'glittering generalities."
The Aldrich bill, which failed to
pass the Senate last winter after re-
ceiving a unanimous report from the
Committee on Finance, proposed to
allow emergency increases in national
bank circulation by permitting
"other" bonds to be substituted for
United States bonds as a basis fol
notes. thus releasing the United States
bonds so relieved for use as security
for fresh bank-note issues. The
suggestion is now made that national
banks be authorized TO issue "sddi
