THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1892. THE EVENING STAR WHE EVENING STAR bas = reqular and Permanent circulatios in Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper fm the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Mediam it has ne competitor. The Rhode Island vote yesterday was the fargest by 10,000 ballots ever cast in the state. The Fepublicans appear to have developed in some ‘places unexpected strength, especially on the tate ticket. For three years past, or since the (passage of the act taking-off the property re- on naturalized voters, the democrats wwe been able to obtain « plurality, in 1991 Pmounting to 1,254. They had a clear majority Sn 1887. Hopes were thus excited in that party ‘bat even in presidential year the Preliminary state election could be carried, prognosticating success in the national election tofollow. But these hopes have not been ealized. Although the democrats gained argely over the last year in the legislature they thave faited, as was to be expected, to secure @ ‘majority in the state, and instead of a demo- cratic plurality on the state ticket there fis @ small republican majority. The net esulteare disappointing tothe democrats, They Yought well and may win some other year. To ‘the republicans the election cannot fail to be Stimulating, both for what they secure in hand and in the prospect for victory in November. The vote of Rhode Island may decide the pres- Sdential election. The republicans are natu- Wally elated over retaining so able and influen- tials Senator as Mr. Aldrich. ee ‘The incongruity of government engineering ‘work, performed as it has been from adminis- tration to administration without coherence in plan or controlling principle in execution, de- ‘tracts from its value and diminishes both its ertistic and its utilitarian worth. The incon- gruity of the government engineering is inevit- ble from the organization, or rather lack of ‘organization,of the engineering department of the government. Instead of one bureau or de- partment there are several, and each goes its own way regardless of cost, except such limita- tion as is imposed by an appropriation bill, and sometimes regardless of taste in detail or uniformity in design. All this could be avoided by the adoption of » systematic scheme bringing plan and detail under one in- telligent management. Without indorsing ‘any particular organization of government en- gineering work Tur Stan is convinced of the pressing need that exists for uniformity ‘nd central responsibility. In the April Engineering Magazine a plan of reform is suggested by Mr. Wisner. He points out how ine from a division of responsibility between mili- tary engineers, civil engineers and politicians. But reform must be gradual; it would not be good policy to incorporate at once all the pub- lie works of the country under one department. ‘The central principle of Mr. Wisner's proposed plan is this: Governmental interference in the administration of the engineering work apust be reduced to the minimum, and all po- litical influence must be eliminated. The idea is to secure to the public service the constant and effective influence of competion with the foremost engineers in private practice, ee ‘The bill to place the revenue marine service $n the navy and provide for the grades of the oficers so transferred is one that has com- mended itself to the practical mind of the Sec- retary of the Navy. It has also been reported Jevorably more than once in the Senate and passed the last and has likewise been eesived with favor in the present House. On account of the powerful opposition of fenator Sherman the passage of the meas- Ture bas been delayed in the Senate. It is probable that it will be further advanced this ‘session than in the last Congress, although the Snfluences exerted against it may be sufficient ‘to prevent its enactment at present. While the head of the Navy Department supports the plan it bas been opposed by the officers of the nary, who do not relish additions to their num- ‘Der coming from any other quarter than the ‘(Naval Academy and promotions from any other quarter than the regular line. But the younger officers have recently withdrawn their organ- ‘zed opposition and there is reason to believe ‘that none will hereafter be made from naval fficers. But the Treasury Department is, ‘under its present head, hostile to the measure. ‘The bill has its faults, doubtless, bat they can Desifted outand the transfer accomplished withoat jar or injury to either arm and indeed with positive benefit, it is believed, to both arms of the service. _— With a large and growing population and ‘Perhaps the most extensive sheep industry in ‘the world, indeed with flattering prospects in every respect, the Australian colonies entered a few years ago on a system of excessive rail- way building and excessive public works. ‘They borrowed money lavishly and the pinch came after awhile, as it always comes after Unnatural inflation, The Australians ba: banked on their great expectations and these have not been realized. ‘They will know better when they get throuzh with this experience— at least they will know how to avoid a second ‘experience daring the lifetime of the present generation. But in the case of a country with resources like Australia’s ali will come right in the end. This republic knows all about such episodes from actual experience. a ae Lyons | ae ws Easrex Mencaaxpisz at Wazsrs. mE fe a. io kee Dov’ eek = TIS PT Stents S newest as well as _ FH tS ER be F Bing norms manus for it go 5555 ‘hie departs ADIES ad : ii .- e 5555 Perfecting Waist, made of per- = —— z Go Ff = cale, pleated back and front.
