carried to an extent in European lands which
the United States has not yet approached.
Although in speed the machines made on this
side Of tbe ocean are in few cases rivals Of the
best specimens of foreign construction, IL Is evil
dent that American makes are constantly i'm
proving. If the popularity of even the highest
priced models constructed in this country in
creases rapidly, as it seems likely to do, the
time will come ere long when the domestic will
rival the best of the imported constructions.
In due time the progress Of the country will
be associated with the development and expan-

to restrain the zest Of the Needless and to re-
quire reasonable precautions on the part of the

LIFE IN RED CROSS.
proVen1enT,

There will be widespread and profound graft
ication at the indications of restored vitality in
the American National Red Cross which have
appeared since the placing of that organization
upon q rational and busnesslike basis. Last
week New-York State branch of the Red Cross
was formed in this city, with members all the
way from Brooklyn to Buffalo and other States
and the Territories are similarly falling into line,
as indeed they are required to do under the
charter of incorporation which was granted by
Congress in January last. 1t is to be expected
that in a short time such a branch will be in
active existence and operation IN every State
and Territory, perhaps with tributary commit
tees in all cities and towns, thus making this
most beneicent work truly national in scope
rs II is possible for il to be. The value of such
organization not only in war but in any consd-
cradle calamity in time of peace is obvious
Through no other agency could first aid to the
needy be more efficiently given.
This organization, both in It's broad national
scope and in its local details, is voluntary, and
is dependent entirely for success upon the favor
and benevOlence of the people Beyond ques-
ton, therefore, the essential cornerstone of It
must be public confidence not only in the abso-
lutte integrity, but also In the businesslike eff
cheney, economy and common sense of its ad
minlSraton. The public will not support and
ought not TO support a work the ways and
means OF which are not above suspicion and a
SHADOW or carelessnesS or slovenlness Is
scarcely less damning than one Of outright dis
honesty Under the new charter and the new or
ganization the Red Cross stands above reDroach
and above suspicion, upon a basis which merits
and will doubtless command the confidence or
the American people.

sistant United States Treasurer at

of dismissal the president said.
It appears to me that there has
been a constant and. consistent
effort on your part to eyade the
provisions of the civil service
law, hamper its workings, and
obstruct in every va; the action

established that you took advant-
age of every technicality to avoid
executing the, law in good faith,
and that you kept on the pay rolls
in the most conspicuous positions
certain of yous ownorelatives, and
at least one person whose APP
pointment had been pressed fol
