WASTE AS WELL AS THEFT.
There Is said to be sufficient reason
for believing that the Cuban postal
frauds have been grossly exaggerated
in Irresponsible gossip, and that the
amount actually stolen does not ex
reed 30,000. It Is to be hoped that
this comparatively modest estimate
will prove correct, and at the same
time that if It does the circumstances
will not give rise to undue satisfaction.
The disgrace Involved, the New York
Tribune correctly declares, is not
measured by the proportions of the
theft, and it is safe to say that if any
' disposition should be shown In official
clrcl to push the scandal out of sight
as a thing of trivial importance af
ter all, it would not be generally shar
ed by the people. Moreover, there is
another point to be considered. How
much money has been wasted on the
postal establishment in Cuba In addl
tion to the amount stolen? And If
the amount so frittered away is largev
what does the fact suggest as to the
spirit in whl.-h public servants have
entered 'ipoi their duties in that de
partmeni, and perhaps in other depart
menu there and elsewhere in our new
depend jncies?
Vt't have no wish to encourage need
less suspicions, but there is much food
for thought in 'he announcement of
what Mr. Bristow. acting director of
post in Cuba, has already accom
plished in the way of reorganizing the
headquarters staff at Havana. By com
binations, dismissals and reductions
he has cut down the ealary list right
there by more -than $42,000, and It is
not Intimated that his economies are
merely for temporary effect and likely
to impair the efficiency of the service.
The probability, on the contrary, is
that he has got rid of men who have
beer, standing in one another's way and
that the smaller force, imbued with a
new sense of obligation, will do the
work better than It has ever been done
before. It would certainly be unjust to
cond'-mn with extreme severity a sub
ordinate in the publio service merely
because he kept a comfortable berth at
a gond salary while conscious that the
force to which he belonged could be
profitably reduced, and that in conse
quence he was an illustration of the
wartcful manner In which the public
business was being transacted. But
the men In control, however incapable
of personal dishonesty, cannot in
sucb a case be acquitted of the grave
charge of unfaithfulness to plain duty.
If their excuse Is that they have on
ly fallen in with the extravagant prac
tice of the times, the fact that it is a
familiar excuse does not make it ac
ceptable. The modern cost of government is
enormous, and the constant tendency

SHOULD
DEPARTMENT
EXIST?
STORES
The department store Issue, one of
the "Uvest" In busln ;ss today, and up
on which legislators of several West
em states have !egislat?d and courts
decided. Is thoroughly discussed.
far as It relates to New England, in
the first part of ihe report of the
Massachusetts Bureau or Statistics of
Labor. Whether the conclusions,
of which are In the nature of sur
prises, are fully applicable to Brooklyn,
a less conservative and more cosmopol
itan .city than Boston, may be im
agined. Nevertheless, the work, like
all from the Massachusetts bureau, will
stand as authoritative, and, in many
respects, an effective answer to the
demagoguery and partisanship with
which all social ani industrial ques
tions are unfortunately wrapped- It
will, for example, doubtless surprise
many of the objectors to department
stores that the statistics, most impar
tially obtained and intelligently exam'
ined, do not show a material decline
in the number of retail stores in pro
portion to population; the ratio chang
ing only from one to 123 in 1S75 to one
to 142 in 1S95. Some lines show a con'
siilerable decline, for which it Is by no
means certain that the department
store is responsible, while In several
other lines, against" which complaint
na, oeen oireciea, tne numoer is eltner
greater or not materially different from
that of a quarter of a century ago.
Many lines of retail trade show during
the term a complete reversal of meth
ods, affecting each quite as much as
the department store, the competition
for example of a thoroughly organized
grocery being fully as severe upon
these less perfectly organised, or work
ing with smaller capital, as that of a
department store could be. Indeed, the
competition in all branches of trade
is keen, but it is quite clear that it
proceeds from various causes besides
the growth of department stores, for
example, the Introduction of
styles, more rasttaious tastes among
customers, obliteration of district
neighborhood boundaries, and special
ization of branches. The aezreea-
'""
one roof appeals to the public, and I
as made clear by the reoort. stores dls-
claiming the name of department stores
apparently follow the same course,
The general advantages of the depart
ment stores to the public are fully
yhfiwn by the amplest testimony, and
even the complaint against false and
I misleading advertisements exhausts it-
pelf when lt is attempted to pursue the
objections to enactment.
The report sums up the whole mat
ter In the following authoritative and
competent conclusion:
'The trend of modern business, quite
apart from whatever jnfalr practices
may exist among the unscrupulous, is
toward concentration of capital and
perfection of organizations the elim
(nation of unnecessary expenses and a
corresponding reduction of profit
the Individual article, accompanied by
an enlargement of profit In the aggre'
gate, which permits a lower price to
the consumer. This Is substantially
the same movement that has taken
place and Is still going on In the In
dustrial world. On the one hand the
department store, on the other the fac
tory, exhibit It in its highest form,
but the same tendency Is shown through
every branch of trade, every avenue of
industry. Its ultimate result, co far as
the consumer is concerned, Is a wider
supply of commodities at lower prices.
No such movement can take place, of
course, without arousing active oppo
sition from those who puffer from lt,
or who are overcome bv it. in the
transition from the old to the new or
der."
