CIRCULATION 1001, AVETREE - ...cocccasscess SAIZ o 2 T.600 OFFICIAL RED TAPE. There is no department of the gov- ernment which suffers more from of- ficlal red tape than the postoffice de- partment, and all of its simple regula- tions do not appear to be above sus- picion. This new order that all house- holders must put up a letter box or not receive mail by carrier, because in the saving of time, or despatch, it will be worth a half-million to the government, would look better to the o L §= Hi' %!2 i3k of " at the close of the fiscal year, n by the report of Mayor War- Auun. recently published in The Messenger, it might be explain that this sum repre- 3,026.80 ‘remaining from the city’s ordinary revenues and $8,125.61 of last year'’s bond issue “for public Improvements. There is no outstanding indebtedness, except $7,000 borrowed .after January 31 to meet icertain payments on the old bonded debt. So this surplus is not a real ‘surplus, after all.” . A surplus that is not a real surplus ‘must be slightly related to False Pre- tence; that is, it might be safely regard- ‘as a third or fourth cousip to that old hypocrite. The Messenger thinks that this practice of haviag apparent surpluses is a bad habit, and that the real thing would be in better form. THE COMPARATIVE SIZE OF FINES. ‘The Newark News takes occasion to compare the two heaviest fines im- posed in modern times, the $28,000,000 fine imposed by Judge J.andis of Chi- cago against the Standard Oil com- pany, and the $220,000 verdict against the Danbury Hatters’ union to com- pensate the Loewe firm of hatters for the effects of the most persistent boy- cott every established in this country, and it reaches the conclusion that the Standard Oil company’s fine was rel- atively the lightest and the easiest to be borne. The News says: “At first glance there is a wide difference be- tween $29,000,000 and $220,000. It must be remembered, however, that the real dimensions of a fine are not measured by its face value, It is its relation to the assets of the party who must pay it that fixes its size. The 340 defendants in the Danbury case do not, all together, own $229,000. If paid it leaves them worse than penni- less. The Standard Oil company is credited with owning property to the value of $600,000,000. The fortunes of Rockefeller, Morgan, Archbold and the rest, if combined, could not be written in less than ten figures. We call the $29,000,000 verdict harsh, sensational, country if it aid not give millions in.| unreasonable and confiscatory, but it dividends to the letter-box makers. In order that this slight saving may be made to the department the people must put out about $20,000,000 to ac- commodate the man in Washington, who, with a pen behind his ear and a pencil in his hand, has been figuring upon how the letter carri:rs who are generally doing their business well may do it a little better. This new system provides that the man who doesn’t have a postoffice box or a house-mail box {s not going to be left in ignorance, as The Bulletin understands it, but the postmaster will send notice that a letter awaits call. ‘The carrier will have to deliver this notice and a clerk will deliver it upon due observance of red tape forms. It looks to the everyday citizen as if it would be as easy to send the letter as the notice, for it would save sta- tionery, and since the letter carrier gets no relief it is difficult to figure out where the improvement is. It is fine to sponge $20,000,000 out of the people to satisfy the whim of an economical statistician of low de- gree at the capital, A POPULAR MOVEMENT. Twelve years have passed since the destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor, but the ‘sentiment for the raising of the wreck and the giving decent sepulture to the remains of the sixty-three American seamen still bur- jed in the mud there, is spread- ing every year. At Carnegie hall last Sunday afternoon three thousand New Yorkers adopted with cheers a resolution calling on the Washington legislators to raise the hulk; and as this is merely the culmination of a national expression of opinion elicited Py the recurremce of the anniversary of the explosion, it is certain that the lawmakers are well aware of what thelr constituents think on the subject. Ore hundred and sixty of the Maine’s dead are buried at Arlington, twenty- Aive at Key West. The American people are in earnest to have this work done, and they are ashamed of the lack of honor which has left there in the mug the bodies of the men we should honor, regardless of the eight years of per- sistent effort of Congressman Sulzer to have it donme. The Maine should be raised, the dead be properly buried, and Havana harbor freed from the wreck, —_— A BIG THING TO HANDLE. There 1s no doubt that this govern- ment i= a big thing to handle, or that the financial seepage runs up into the milk While government affairs have & very stern business look gen- erally they frequently have only the semblance of business in them. When Senator Aldrich declares that he feels sure of his ability to run the govern- ment, for less by $300,000,000 than it eosts now, and is equally sure that under a_ system to which congress could assent the saving would be $100,- 060,000, no one ventures to dispute it: and, yet, these one-min governments do not show up anything that looks inviting in the way of superior finan- cial. management of affairs, The em- pire of the czar is not a model of financial excellence, neither is the is- land empire of the mikado. It isn't fashionable for nations, or states, or cities, to live within their means, and upon general principles individuals have to live within their means to pay their taxes and support the communal end governmental extravagances which mark this age. There 15 no objection made to any plan which will save the nation millions, and if congress can evolve such a plan it will send joy to. the hesrts of the peeple. The ¥ of ecomomy is still commendable. Attributing the fortune of Rocke- feller to the fact that he promised the Lord o teath of his income and has alw kept his word, doesn’t magnily the d in the mind of the American publie. Theé New York youth who could not be held up until he married three women entered the plea: “I couldn’t help it!” This seems to be the enly defence calculated to excite sympathy. Anna Gould has lost her French father-in-law and has become endow-~ ed in comsequence with the title of “Serene Highness.” She can wear that appended -ia the left side of her tiara. is gentleness itself in comparison with the Danbury judgment. Measured by the ability to pay as is the other, it should be billions, instead or millions.” ‘Why the fine against union labor is so generally commended, and the fine against the Standard Oil should have been so generally condemned, does not seem clear to any American citizen who depleres class feeling and believes in equal justice.
