DErOCRATTC BLUNDERS.

The Democratic state Committee, in
paid advertisement over the names of
Norman l.. Mack. chairman, and John
A. Mason secretary. is endeavoring TO
defend the acts of the Democratic Leg
islature. One of the benefits which
Mcssrs. Mack and Mason assert that
this body conferred on the people Of the
state they set forth as follows: The
abolition of commissions such as the
'lligbways Board. state Water Board
land Canal Board and uniting their
''powers in one board. thus saving over
100000 a year in salaries
This is most remarkable declaration
in more respects than one In the first
place, the powers and duties of the
various boards referred to were not
united in one board. In the second
place, even the most optimistic Teckoner
or the Democratic state Committees
staff would have very hard job to
show the 100000 annual saving. The
Democratic Legislature abolished the
state Highway Commission and substi-
tuted another for it, with highly paid
Superintendent Of Highways at its head.
The Democratic Legislature abolished
the state Water Supply Commission and
the Forest, Fish and Game Commission
er, together with a couple of minor. I'M
salaried boards, and combined their
powers and duties in the new Conserva-
tion Commission. The Democratic Leg
islature wiped out of existence the Adj
visory Board of Canal Engineers, and
gave power 10 the State Engineer to hire
as many consulting engineers as he liked
and fix their compensation at his idea
of their value.
The saving in salaries accomplished
by these changes was as follows:
Salaries. Saving,
Highway Commissioners. ....... $4,000
Superintendent OF Highways. 1900

Forest. Fish and Game Commits

Conservation Commission. -. $50 900 1000
Suocrintendent Salt Springs abolished 1 500
Canal Advisory Board. ...,...Abolished 5000
Total .......................S $40, 900
This total saving indicated, $4,000,
allows a complete saving OF the salaries
of the Advisory Board Of Engineers, al
though the State Engineer has already
hired consulting engineers 10 take the
place of the advisory board. BY wip-
ing out Of existence the Court of Claims,
whose members received 5000 year
each, and substituting for 1t Board
Of Claims, whose members receive $4,000
p year, Democracy can lay claim to a
furthei annual saving Of $4,000 in sal
aries. That would make the grand total
saved in salaries $4,000, which is $45,-
600 a year less than the optimistic
claims of Messrs. Mack and Mason.
In the same advertisement Messrs.
Mack and Mason refer 10 the creation OF
the Office of State Fire Marshal, but take
care not 10 refer TO the cost Of the
patronage Of that bureau. They take
care rot 10 mention the additional cost

FUTURE BRIGHTER
THAN The PRESENT
Dun's Estimate of the Business
Outlook

New York. Mar. 31.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Business looks better in prospect
than in performance. for confidence
in the future is greater than the pres
ent activity.
Some hull appears in the demand
for pig iron and i'm markets for the
finished products. However, business,
as a whole, is satisfactory.
Reduced operations are in effect
in plate mills. which are now running
55 to so per cent capacity.
Equipment orders from the rail-
roads came out strong. One bridge
project will require about sixty
thousand tons and considerable other
work pending.
Jobbers report limited trade with
retailers, who are especially cautious
i'm cotton goods lines and the same
feeling is noted among buyers of
woolens and worsteds. Some dress
goods mills have been releasing en-
ployes
There is some increase in the de-
mand for domestic packer hides,
though no activity exists.

THE R. P. D.
SHAKEN Up
Postmaster General Makes
Sweeping Changes
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
Heads of Divisions Had
Paid No Attention to In
structions and Had Taken
No Interest in the Re
forms of Postal Service.

Washington, March 3l-Drastic ac-
ton was taken tonight by Postmaster
General Hitchcock in effecting a re-
organization of the railway mail SER
vice. dozen changes of the most i'm
portant officers were made by Mr..
Hitchcock as a result of careful inves-
tigation and consideration.
Theodore Ingalls, of Kentucky. super
intendent Of the division Of rural malls,
was appointed general superintendent
of the railway mail service at 81 900 a
year, in succession to Alexander Grant
who was transferred to St Paul. Min
nesota as division superintendent, with
a reduction to $4,000
Norman Perkins. division superinten-
dent of st. Paul becomes superinten-
dent OF the Washington division, sue
Feeding Charles w. Vickery. who is ap-
pointed chief clerk OF the Cincinnati
division. vice A. j. BAH, reduced to a
railway postal clerk.
Clyde NJ. Reed, district superinten-
dent at Cleveland, is appointed super
intendent of the Cincinnati division to
succeed Charles RACER, reduced To chief
clerk in the Atlantic division in place
of John F. Blodgert. removed.
John c. Rooms. postmaster inspector
in the Washington division is appointed
railway mail superintendent in charge
of the Cleveland division. George G.
Thompson is appointed superintendent
of the division of rural mails in success
sion of Mr.. Ingalls,. Inspector Daniel
of the New York division is appointed
inspector in charge at St. Louis.
The outcome is the most sweeping
change ever made i'm the history OF the
railway mail service. While signing
the necessary orders for the changes,
Mr.. Hitchcock said: The investiga-
ton which we conducted so long and
so carefully indicated clearly that the
action taken was absolutely necessary
The railway mail service mas suffered
from poor management and lack of
I'm certain divisions it was found
that the chief clerks had not been in
speeding lines as was their duty Some
of the routes had received no inspection
for several years.
The business methods of the ser
vice in several offices were antiquated
and that as a consequence there was
much duplication of work.
Instructions from the department
directing inspections, for example. for
the proper consolidation of mail matter
and conservation of equipment received
only perfunctory attention. There has
also been lack OF cooperation in car
rying into effect certain reforms which
| had Indicated and made il evident
that no proper spirit of coordination
with tlfe department existed in the rail-
way mail service. The changes which
| have made in the executive manage
ment will tend In my judgment to-
ward the Accomplishment in satisfac-
