The final revision required of a controller by the act of September 2, 1789, establishing the Treasury Department—the divided re- sponsibility, the separate and independent action by two high officers, known as ac- counting officers—an auditor and a control- ler—each exercising important and respon- sible duties prescribed by law,are all strick- en down, and a one-man power set up in the auditor. A system which has been tried for more than a century, and has protected the government from fraud in a most re- markable degree, is ruthlessly set at naught. The experts discard as useless and un- necessary that which Hamilton inaugurated and specially approved, and in which none of his successors, none of the great Secre- taries like Gallatin, Walker, Guthrie, Chase or Sherman, discovered anything to report as unessential, in the most important function of the Treasury Department. The theory of our government is opposed to one-man power. It is peculiarly a gov- ernment of divided responsibility. This theory was fully carried out in the account- ing system of the Treasury Department, as inaugurated under Alexander Hamilton. In @ letter addressed by Mr. Hamilton to the President, in speaking of the office of con- troller in the Treasury Department, he says, “The office imports the second trust in the department,” and he refers to the auditor as “the coadjutor of the controller,” in the important work assigned by law to the ac- counting officers. Numerous references em- phasizing the importance and necessity of this divided responsibility in the accounting officers, by the separate and independent action of each, may be found in opinions by able Attorneys General of the United States and in decisions of the United States Su- preme Court and the Court of Claims. .. Take away from the commissioner of cus- toms and from the first and second con- trollers the detailed examination of ac- counts and claims, in their respective of- fices, as now required by law, and confer upon the auditors the sole and final duty of passing upon the vast expenditures of the government, and sooner or later abuses will spring up, owing to undue bias, prejudice, or even corruption and fraud. These evils are invited by a one-man power or responsi. bility. Be it said to the credit of the offi- cials of the Treasury Department, who have discharged the duties of accounting of. ficers since the establishment of the de- partment that their record is most credit- able, reflecting honor upon their respective offices. At the same time, the divided re- sponsibility, the separate and independent action of each officer, has operated as a wholesome and judicious check upon the other. It is idie to assert, as the experts seem to insinuate, that because the final re- vision and conclusive action upon an ac- count or claim is vested in the cui trollers and the commissioner of customs, therefore, the auditors do not have any | check upon them. Any auditor worthy to fill his position would not hesitate to pro- test against any corrupt or grossiy fliegal action on the part of a controller, and re- port it to the Secretary of the Treasury, or to the Presient, or Congress, if necessary. The attempt to place some sort of check upon the exclusive authority which it is proposed to confer upon the auditors, by providing for an appeal to the first controi- ler, and for report by the auditors to the first controller of their respective decisions or construction of the law, is lame and im- potent. True, a dissatisfied claimant may appeal; but, as the auditors will be satis- | fled, presumably, with their own decisions, they will not be likely to recommend an ap- peal on the part of the government. The Secretary of the Treasury and the control- ler not being advised of the merits of the cases, cannot intelligently direct an appeal to be taken, unless the special case should first be called to their attention. If the au- ditor’s action should be wrong, and against the interest of the United States, who will secure an appeal for the government? ‘A reporting by the auditor of his decisions in matter of law to the controller will be merely an ex parte presentation—a per- | tunctory berformance—which will not de | velop any sharply defined issues, from opposing sides, for the controller to consider and determine. The specious plea of economy, in dispens- ing with a large number of clerks and sav- ing a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars per annum, is not a sufficient reason for striking down what has been for a century as the most important safe guard in the accounting system. No other valid reason is assigned. True, the controllers are not absolutely essential; the public accounting may be car ried on without them, by the auditors alone, But in the same line of it it be maintained that two houses of Congress are not essential to legislation; the laws might be enacted and the appropriation bills passed by one house alone. _CLERICUB, Washington, D. C., March 29, 1894, —_— __ AN INDIAN QUARRY. Interesting Aboriginal Remains In- “pected by Scientists From This City, part of the country, and this fact, as weil as the extent of the quarry, affords an op- portunity for studying methods of aborigi- nal quarrying which is practically un- | equaled in the history of the ot aboriginal remains in this country. A short time ago the owners of the property, in ex- amining the place with more than | care, became convinced of its character, at | least as @ primitive work shop of the early inhabitants of the country,and de: its true nature should be determin scientific accuracy, called the attention Professor W. J. McGee, who is at the of the ethnological bureau, to the find. at once detailed Mr. William Dinwiddie, of the employes of the bureau, and his direction a place was cleared about twenty-five feet wide and seventy-five feet jong.

A Prussian named Lautz has invented @ writing paper which will be heard of in the criminal courts before long. It is of the Same appearance as any other writing ma- | terial, but a discovery as to its properties has caused the German government to de clare its manufacture filegal and a patent has been refused. It is composed of pareh- ment, glue, asbestos and the ordinary im- gredients used in the manufacture of fine paper, such as is used for checks, bonds and certificates of stock. The moist sheets, immediately after leaving the rollers for the first time, are placed in a bath of concen- trated sulphuric acid to which distilled wa- ter has been added. After having been pressed between glass rollers, the sheets are successively bathed in pure water, a solu- tion of ammonia, and finally in water again. The process is completed by hard pressing, passing through felt rollers and drying be- tween polished and heated metal cylindera, The peculiarity of this innocent-looking pa- | per is that writing, no matter how acidifer: ous the ink, can be readily washed off with water after any length of time. Such ma- terial would be dangerous in the hands of |forgers. Although prohibited by the Ger man government, quantities of this paper will no doubt be manufactured for nefari- ous purposes,
