COST AND WORK AT PANAMA.

One OF the most discredtable bits Of ignorant
and malicious folly in the cabal of opposition to
the Panama Canal is to be perceived IN the
clamor raised over the practical exhaustion of
the initial appropriation Of S10000O00 That
appropriation was made on June IS 1902 and
now, exactly three years and third later, it is
nearly all gone. Oh. nlonstrous and profligate.
Why. the Panama of The De Lesseps days was
a model of pious frugality by the side of such
sQuanderng OF the nations WEALTH.
Howbeit when the first class in primary
arithmetic takes the floor, ii may appear that TO
spend ten millions in three years and a third Is
to spend three millions a year, and that really
that is very slow expenditure of money on a
werk that is TO cost a hundred and fifty millions
OF thereabouts and is TO be finished in some
thing ike ten years. If hundred and fifty
millions TO be expended IN ten years, fifteen
millions must be expended in each year, or five
times as much as our canal administrators have
been spending. So, instead of railing at the en-
terprise FOR profigacy the criticasters might
less foolishly find fault with il for parsimony
The real question, OF course. is not how much
money has been spent in a given time. but how
much there Is TO show for it, When that view
of the case is taken, we believe there IS nobody
who is Informed upon the subject and unpreju-
diced who Will not coneede that this initial ap-
preparation has been protitably expended. The
amount OF actual excavation and construction
has not been large Tile work Of surveying, ex-
ploring. sounding, rehabilitation Of buildings.
machinery etc, has been enormous, and II was
ali essential and urgent. AS for the work Of
sanitation, it was, as we have all along con-
tended OF chief importance, and how promptly
and effectively it has been done is to be per-
cefyed from the account Which stan CORE
snondent gives iii another column of this paper,
az the complete extirpation of yellow fever from
~. {.fhraaus. The fact that this great and
r.n.4rent work has all been accomplished In
the lsst fire or six months may be taken as an

TBu RETURN TO ECONOMY.

Secretarv Taft has set notable example Of
administrative economy in the estimates he has
lust sent to the Secretary Of the treasury TOT
transmission to Congress. These estimates cover
the fiscal year 1906-07, and the startling thlhg
about them Is that the appropriation asked for
is nearly 100000 less than the amount
granted the War Department by Congress for
1sO5-'Oe cut is made of nearly 10 per cent
The amount appropriated last winter for all
military purposes, including river and harbor I'M
provements and public works generally charged
to the War Department. was nearly Sllo'oOu,-
OOO Next winter, Il Congress fellows the depart
ment's estimates the net sum Will fall TO ABOUT
S1O5OOOOOO. If Congress chooses to economic
n little on its own account the total may drop as
low as $10OO0OO0O. A cut Of this sort carried
through the regular appropriation bills would
net the government a saving Of over $6O,OOO,OOO.
1t would also solve effectually the problem of
Treasury deficits.
The Department Of Commerce and Labor has
also submitted smaller estimates for 1906-07
than those it submitted for 1905-'06. So the
policy of retrenchment initiated by President
Roosevelt is already beginning to bear fruit.
Hitherto it has been an almost unexampled thing
for the head Of department to ask less money
for any given year than he had asked for the
year preceding. On the contrary, the universal
tendency was to enlarge expenditures and create
new fields Of outlay. When Congress did not
vote enough money to last through twelve months
many department and bureau chiefs authorized
contracts I'm excess of the appropriations and
then sent the bills in deficiencies. In certain
years the deficiency account has run as high as
S300000C0 and the power to spend the money
in the Treasury as they fit was virtually
usurped by minor officials in the departments.
Congress last year outlawed this dangerous
practice and made it misdemeanor for any de-
partment head to create anticipatory obligations.
Under that provision of law the Treasury will
benefit annually to the extent of $20,000,000 or
S25O0000O
But from having formerly imposed on the good
nature of Congress by chronic overdrafts on the
Treasury. the department chiefs seem to
be converted into exacting and scrupuous econ
omists. Secretary Taft leads the march toward
retrenchment with his remarkable 10 per cent
cut in the army estimates A similar cut in navy
expenditures ought to be possible this year
next year. Soon, too, shall the abuses
in the public printing system corrected and sew
era millions saved by simply printing only such
for. The business methods of the departments
to be modernized and made at once more
economical and more productive. Altogether
new spirit is being exhibited in the conduct of
the big governmental machine at Washington.
To this spirit we shall soon owe not only vast
saving in expenditure, but a material and well
come increase in administrative efficiency.

CAMPAIGN NOT OVER
HEARST ALLEGES FRAUD AND
WILL FIGHT TAMMANY
Pattison Elected Governor of Ohio and
the State Legislature Will Prob
ably Be Democratic

A New York dispatch says bitter
fight to be waged i'll the courts to de-
eide whether George b. Mcclellan or
VIM. II. Hearst will be mayor of New
York, is now assured. Complete re-
turns give Mcclellan 3,4S5 votes
plurality, the smallest ever recorded
for a successful mayoralty candidate,
and result which might be easily
reversed by recount of the ballots.
Hearst has announced his intention
to take an Immediate appeal to the
supreme court, his managers declaring
that they have secured evidence of
illegal acts against 1000 inspectors at
the election, and that $1,000 men who
went to the polls to vote for Hearst
had found their names already voted.
Most Of this fraudulent voting is said
to have been done in the east side
assembly districts, especially in the
eighteenth. Leader Murphy's home
district, and in the sixth, of which t.
ID, Sullivan is leader.
Hearst's proposed action is met with
atroug approval in many quarters
even among those opposed to his cleo
tion, and received many assurances
of support. District Attorney Jerome
expressed himself in strong terms of
approval of Hearst's program, and
declared that he will immediately in
stitute searching investigation of
the alleged democratic frauds. He
also ordered the returns from the
eighteenth and sixth districts to be
carefully guarded.
Election returns received show that
the democrats have carried the may
orality campaign in New York City,
the state ticket in Pennsylvania, the
state ticket in Virginia and the city
ticket in Louisville, while the repub-
lieans made clean sweep in Massa-
chusetts and in Chicago and Cook
county. and have carried their ticket
in New Jersey, Rhode Island, Nebras-
ka and Maryland.

Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck, N. D.:
Gentlemen: enclose clipping from
Fargo Forum which is credited to your
paper. If you published this I wish
you would correct an error, knowing it
is not your desire to place any one in
false light. Among other things
you say I had charge during its con-
sideration by the house of Senator
sharpe's Senate Bill No. So, providing
for increased duties and salary of
adjutant general This is mistake.
The above bill was offered to the
house military committee of which I
was chairman, but I declined to act
on it and requested that it be referred
to some other committee. stated
this on the floor of the house. The
bill was then referred, think, to the
committee on state affairs.
If you will take the trouble to look
up the records you will find this to be
the case. I would state farther that
all bills introduced on militia were
at the request of the national guard
association. The opinion of the guard
association being that they would be
OF general benefit to the guard.
Please give this matter little at
tention and If you find the records
bear out my statement would thank
you to correct the impression that this
article gives. Yours respectfully,
VIM. R. Purdon.
Editorial Note: The statement
made above by Representative Purdon
is correct. The house journal shows
Senate Bill 81 as referred to the state
affairs committee, was favorably re-.
ported by that committee, and passed
with but one dissenting vote. The
