F. B. Novzs, ‘Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Company. Subscribed and sworn to before me this twenty-second day of July, A.D. 1889, Jouy T. C. CLARK, Notary Public, iO Gen. Boynton has started, in his correspond- ence with the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette, the discussion of a question of universal inter- est where public improvements are concerned. He is unable to discover what good ground there is for continuing the practice of begin- ning the government's fiscal year with the first day of July. No appropriations are available until that date, and, consequently, public work which should have the whole of the mild sea- son in which to get ahead, is delayed till that season is more than half over. ‘This is a mat- ter,” he suys, “of less importance in this lati- tude and further south, although it occasions a serious drawback here.” It is true that we are not subject, in the District of Columbia, to the same extreme severity of winter weather which characterizes some more northern climates; but we have enough to contend against in our win- ters to make it highly desirable that the date when appropriations become available should be changed. The contracts for street im- provements which have just been made could quite as well have been made in March as toward the latter end of July. All the work could thus have been gradually and carefully done, instead of being hurried through in some cases in order to avoid the frosts, But the worst effects of the present system in this neighborhood are discovered in the country roads, which, after they have been ploughed and dug and got ready for the final stages of improvement, are liable to be washed out with the fall and winter storms and left in as bad a condition as before, if not worse. There are no arguments against an early beginning for the fiscal year that cannot be promptly met from experience. If it be said that the appro- priation bills cannot be passed in time to make the money available in March, the obvious answer is that, every alternate year, the docket has to be cleared before the fourth of that month. If it be said that, in the long sessions, Congress never would be up to time with its work, the answer is that the change would in- volve no annoyance worse than that which now occurs when the session is extended late into the year. When Congress sits later than the first of July, it is because some of the appropri- ations which ought to be available on that day have not yet got through, and the departments which are affected by the delay suffer great in- convenience, It is plain, therefore, that the proposed change could not possibly be for the worse, and there is every reason to expect it to be vastly for the better. SUE The case of the clerk Smith, in the sixth auditor’s office, who proposes to make a fight against removal for purely partisan reasons, will attract wide attention. If he should win in this struggle, the whole subject of civil service reform would be broadened out beyond the conception of its most sanguine agitators. ‘The precedents, positive and negative, are probably against Smith, but it does not follow, from that, that the law has ever been properly construed. Common sense certainly dictates that a system designed to restrict the service of the government to worthy persons should make some provision also for keeping them in place after they have been chosen. Otherwise it is in the power of a partisan chief at any time to defeat the highest aim of the civil service rules, by making removals and fresh requisitions, steadily, until he has-filled up his office with the subordinates he wants there for Political purposes. Whatever may.come of the Smith case, it is to the interest of everybody in the government employ to have: all its issues thoroughly sifted and passed upon; and the commission as at present constituted seems abundantly qualified to deal with :he matter. — + = The Postmaster General has d=voted much attention of late to the improvement of forms used in the postal service, and there is yet other work for his reforming “hand. The blanks furnished to applicants. for money orders have degenerated in quelity to an ex- tent which is hard to realize till «pecimens of the old and new issues are compared. The blank in former days, while making no especial claims to artistic elegance, was neatly printed, with good ink, on fair paper. The person fill- ing one out neither had to smudge his fingers nor to see his ink spread with every stroke of writing, nor tocatch the point of his pen in the soft and fleecy surface. The difference in cost between a good and a bad article in this Line is so trifling as to bear no comparison with the difference in the comfort of the public who have to use the one or the othe: ————{ - Elsewhere in Tu Stan will be found a list of the forty-eight standing committees appointed by the boards of trade throughout the United States, on the Three Americas exposition to be held here in 1892.

No takers have been found for the $300,000 repair bonds issued, and notasingle bid has been received on the proposals to make repairs, to be paid for im toll certificates. The only way he can see to meet the difficulty is to prosecute the repairs on receivers’ certificates, which would come in before all other claims for payment in the event of a foreclosure of the mortgages held by the state, and other parties, ———- = ___ It is interesting to note that in the experi- ments made in England with Dr, Brown-Se- quard’s elixir of life, paupers were used as sub- jects.
