collection of the customs revenue at
New York city, in which number Of
the subordinate employees in the weigh
ing and other departments were direct
~ concerned and in which the benefi-
Charles we're the American Sugar Re-

consisted in the payment of duty on

shown to have been defrauded Of. The

due which might have been recovered
by civil action against the beneficiary
Of the fraud but there was an express
reservation In the contract of settle
ment by which the settlement should
not interfere with or prevent the
criminal prosecution Of every one who
was found to be subject to the same.
Criminal prosecutions are now pro-
ceeding against a number of the gov
eminent officers. The treasury de-
partment and the department of JUS
tice are exerting every effort to dis
cover all the wrongdoers, including the
officers and employees OF the compa-

REFORMS FOR THE COURTS,
Legislation Urged Against 1njuuc-
tions Without Previous Notice. (

The platform OF the successful party
In the last election contained the fol-
lowing: g, ..,.,,.,
1.-THE Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integrity
Of the courts. state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
life, liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate. We believe, however,
that the rules of procedure In the
federal courts with respect to the is
suance of the writ Of injunction should
be more accurately defined by statute
and that no injunction or temporary
restraining order should be issued
without notice, except where irrepara-
Bile injury would result from delay, in
which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted" -
l recommend that in compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate leg
islation be adopted. The ends OF JUS
tice will best be met and the chief
cause of complaint against i'll consid-
cred injunctions without notice will be =
removed by the enactment of statute
forbidding hereafter the issuing OF any
injunction or restraining order, wheth-
er temporary or permanent. by any
federal court without previous notice
and reasonable opportunity to be
heard on behalf OF the parties to be
enjoined unless 1t shall appear to the
satisfaction Of the court that the delay
necessary to give such notice and hear
ing would result In irreparable injury
to the complainant and unless also the !
court shall from the evidence makeSa
written finding, which shall be spread
upon the court minutes, that imme
date and irreparable injury Is likely
to ensue to the complainant and shall
define the injury, state why it Is ir-k.
reparable and shall also indorse on the
order issued the date and the hour
OF the issuance of the order. More
over. every such Injunction or re-
straining order issued without previ-
GUS notice and opportunity by the de-
PENDANT to be heard should by force

Working For Economy.
It has been impossible in the prepare
ton of estimates greatly to reduce the
cost OF permanent administration.
This cannot be done without thor
ough reorganization Of bureaus, Of
fees and departments. For the pur-
pose of securing information which
may enable the executive and the leg
islative branches to unite in plan for
the permanent reduction Of the cost OF
governmental administration the treas
ury department has instituted an in.
vestigaion by one Of the most skilled
expert accountants In the United
States. The result Of this work In two.
or three bureaus, which, If extended
to the entire government, must occupy
two or more years, has been to show
much room for improvement and OPP
portunity for. substantial reductions In
the cost and increased efficiency OF ad-
ministration The object of the fnyes-
tigation is to devise means to increase
the average efficiency of each employee.
There4is great room for Improvement
toward this end, not only by tie reor-
ganization Of bureaus and departments
