The versatility of Colonel Mulhall, who has furnished tho Senate lobby in vestigating committee with its sensa tions for some time past, is what cost him his job with tho National Associa tion of Manufacturer. It appears that ho had a steady position with this as sociation, but that ho was not content with that, and branched out on his own account to make money on tho side, as Secretary Bryan is doing in his Chau tauqua lecturing. During the heated temperance cam paign in Maine in 1011, Mulhall in terested himself as the paid agent of the United Brewers' Association, while still in tho employ of the N. A. f., and representing that ho was working for that association, took a prominent part in the campaign in Maine against prohibition. When the officers of the X. A. M. found this jut, they called Mr. Mulhall oh the carpet to explain his action. At first Mulhall denied everything, stating that he had not in terfered in that Maine election, and ihat he had not advocated the candi dacy of S. T. Kimball for Congress; but upon being confronted with his own letters ho squarely admitted the whole charge, and snid that he had taken tho pari that ho did at the request of Ex'Governor Cobb of Maine, and there upon proceeded to attack the names of Vice-President Sherman, Chairman Mc Kinley, Congressman Driseoll, Senator Pryo and many others. The interview between Mulhall and J. P. Bird, general manager of the N. A M., becamo so warm that Bird ordered Mulhall from his oflice. Tho S. T. Kimball named was the choicn of Mulhall and the Brewers in tho Second District of Maine against D. .T. McGillicuddy, Democrat, the present incumbent. General Manager Bird in reporting tho facts to President Kirby of the N. A. M., recited the above facts, and stated that he found himsolf at. a loss to understand by what authority Mul hall felt it his duty to enter into any Congrossional district, aud represent himself as being tho spokesman of the National Association of Manufacturers in the selection of an' candidate to represent that district in Congress. Mr. Bird stated that ho would not himself assumo that responsibility, and that he felt confidont that tho President of tho N. A. M. wonld not do so cither, un less he had takon counsel with his board of directors or executive committee, and had been cither directed or requested by them to do so. Mr Bird stated to Mulhall explicitly that his association "repudiated an- statements you have mado to any man in that district per taining to the caudidacy of Mr. Kim ball, in so far as its authorization may have been suggested by any official act of this association." General Manager Bird wrote further to Mulhall: "It is distasteful to mo, it is annoying to Mr. Kirby, to feel that a man entrusted with certain work of the association should feel it within the province of his judgment to exceed his authority and misrepresent the association as has been done in this case." Tho upsliot of it was that Mulhall was discharged from the employ of tho National Association of Manufacturers; and then he began to prepare his "reve lations." It is a lesson that shows how private concerns deal with persons who assumo authority moro than is con ferred upon them, and that seek em ployment on the sido to increase their income. The National Association of Manufacturers put into effect in Mul hall 's case the general business proposi tion which ought not to bo lost feight of by any government employee, high or low, that when a man is employed at a stated salary, which is acccptablo to himself, to Jill a certain oflice, his whole duty is to his employer, and that he has no more right to engage in money making on the sido than any other em ployee in any business has to take tho time which his employer pays for to earn money from somebody else. AN ORDER AGAINST GAB. In view of the handicaps which cer tain members of tho Cabinot have put upon themselves by much talking, the Boston Traveler has a leading edi torial pointing out as "his serious duty" to President Wilson, the issuing of an order that hereafter no member of his Cabinet shall make any explana tion, formal or informal, jn reply to public criticism. There is certainly a good deal of weight to the Traveler's comment, that "it is not the criticism that hurts, it is the explanation." It is pointed out that when District Attorney McNab resigned by tclcgmph to the Attorney-Goneral, no great notice was taken of the resignation until Attorney-General McReynolds began to explain why ho had done the things that McNab charged against him. Then the fat was in the fire at once, and an aroused indignation sprang up all over the country which supported Mc Nab unreservedly and condemned tho Attorney-General. As tho Travolcr puts it, "McNab bocamo a hero and a martyr, and McReynolds convicted him self." Again, whon Socrotary Bryan deter mined to continue his engagements as a lecturer, regardless of important mat ters of state that clearly required his closo and constant official attention, and criticism was made by tho press of this untoward lecture plan of hi?, the matter might have died out but for Bryan's explanation that he needed tho money, and that he cared nothing about public criticism upon what ho was doing. Ills explanation that ho could not live on $12,000 a year puts him in bad indcod, in the worst pos siblelight with those who had looked upon bun as the great exemplar of .Jef fersoninn simplicity; while 'hs aowcd indifference to criticism eiowed a cal lousnese wholly unbecoming an offi cial iu a popular government in which "tho people be d d" attitude is tho worst possible to take. We are incltued to believo that the Traveler is quito right in this matter, and that tho Cabinot officers would do a good deal better muzzled than thoy do with free speech and open mouths. BETTER LAWMAKINGS. The report comes from Washington that the members of Congress, having been rudely awakened to the crudity and uncertainty of the laws which the pass, are about to establish an expert legislative bureau, which will be a guide in framing and shaping all legis lation. Tho lessons thus enforced upon Congressmen have been imposed on them partly by decisions of the TJ. S. Supremo Court and partly by the absurd position which the. Senate recently found itself in in its contest with Postmaster-General Burleson. The Postmaster-General, by virtue of a sort of postscript to the parcel post law, giv ing practical authority to tho Postmaster-General to put into effect a new system of weights, rates, and zones, if the tentative or temporary system em bodied in the law at great detail should provo to bo unsatisfactory, if ho thought best, gave notices of changes he would make. When the Postmaster General proclaimed his intent to re model tho parcel post system, accord ing to tho authority thus vested in him by tho postscript, tho Senate flared up and demanded to know from him by what authority ho undertook to change the law. He cheerfully pointed out his authority, and tho Senate, as stated, was moro indignant at itself for pass ing such a sweeping postscript thnn at the Postmaster-General for exercising tho authority conforrcd upon him thereby. By reason of the lesEons thus ad ministered, it is stated that both Houses of Congress will establish an expert legislative bureau, whose work will be to furnish reliable information upon all matters pertaining to bills in cithor House, and will draft or amend bills as proposed so as to make them conform to decisions of the TJ. S. Su premo court and to legislation that has been tested and approved. This action in Congress, if adopted, will follow the precedent set a number of years ago by the State of Wisconsin in providing such a legislative bureau for the in formation and guidance of members of the Lcgislaturo of that Stale. By rea son of that guidance tho legislation of tho Stato of Wisconsin is said to be tho most precise and advanced of that of any Stato in tho Union. If it is truo that Congress intends to provide such a bureau of legislation for its guidance, that will mark an en tire new departure by Congress. Here tofore that bod-, and especially the Senate branch of it, has seomcd to con sider itself omniscient, needing no in formation from aoiy person or any source. If now that body will agreo to tho establishment of such a bureau of information as is referred to, that will initiate a great relief to tho people by way of getting legislation simplified and mado oxact, and it will also show a change of heart on tho part of the Senators which is altogether to be commended. THE WASTE OF TIME. The waste of timo involved in tho in activity of one house of Congress while the othor is busily engaged has at tracted tho attention of newspapers and publicists generally. A conspicu ous instance of this waste of time is evident at the present extra session. Tho Houso devoted its sessions for a considerable timo to the perfecting and passing of the revised tariff law. "While that was being done, the Scnalo was idle. And now that tho Senate has tho tariff bill in hand, tho Houso is idle. At the same time, thero has been an evident purpose on tho part of the ad ministration to press tho passage of a currency bill (now in committee) which might case off the business situation iu case of any trouble arising, such as arose in 189-1 upon the passage of the Wilson-Gorman tariff law iu the sec ond administration of President Clove land. This currency law might have been introduced and acted upon by tho Sen ate, while the House was acting ou tho tariff revision. But that was not done, and the Senato remained idle during that time. Now it is proposed to have the House take up tho currency bill, but this proposition is clearly at a disadvantage as compared with what would havo been the case had tho Sen ato passed the currency bill and sent it down to the House. There is pending also in tho Senate the vastly important Nowlands water control bill, which is designed to au thorize the engineers of the Army to devise and put into effect means for tho control and regulation of tho great river systems of tho country, by way of prevonting floods, aiding navigation, and providing immense sources of elec trical energy and power. The Senato while- it waited could have been acting upon that bill,, but rcfusod to do to, oven though the floods of last spring served full uotico upon tho country that tho work proposed in the New lands bill is work that is imperative and that must bo done. As an oco nomic proposition, there is no ques tion but that tho passage of this bill would save immenHo amounts of money in every decade to the pcoplo of the United States. It would cost a huge sum to do tho work provldod for in that bill. But when one consiTlors tho huge losses that occur every year by reason of the floods, and that were a'' routuated by the floods in Iudiana aud Ohio ard bv tho MiVisrp,)! floods of the prc-eut jear, wc arc obliged to ex press unbounded astonishment that the Senato should waste its time, while the Hoi8t; was getting- ou with the tariff revision, when an important monsure like this was upou its calendar. Tho inefficiency of Congress in thus wasting timo and neglecting matters' of serious urgency is getting to bo a Na tional scandal. Perhaps tho proposi tion to keep Congress in perpetual ses sion would be at once the appropriate remedy and punishment. GEN. MILLS ON CAR-NEGIE LOGIC. General A. H. Mills, bead of a mili tary division in our War Department, replies sharply against Andrew Carne gie's position in the Carnegie exalta tion of Kaiser Wilhelm as "the great est exponent of world peace." The logic of General Mills is conclusive and overwhelming. He shows that any in fluence that tho Gorman Emperor may havo had for the enforcement of peace throughout the world and especially in Europe, has been the result of his ex tensive war preparations. The Gor mnn Emperor is nblo to speak decisive words in favor of peace because of the heavy armament that backs tho words ho speaks. Ho has tho greatest army in the world, and is aspiring to have the greatest navy; thereforo, when ho speaks words of caution to other na tions against breaking the peace, in timating that he will bring tho tre mendous strength of his military- posi ti'on to the support of his words, those that might bo inclined to break .the peace naturally pause to consider the significance of them, and the peril of running against the declarations of the Gorman Emperor. As Genornl Mills points out, tho cn- , comiums which Mr. Carnegie applies to tho German Emperor for his weighty position in support of peace in fact destroy tho very arguments- that Car negie himself habitually makes as against war armaments. For, since the German Emperor is ablo to speak de cisive words for peace by reason of his military strongth, the lesson is that tho United States, for examplo, ought to strengthen itself in a military senso by having a strong navy and an effi cient army, so that its words- in favor of peace will also bear weight, and so that any possible aggressor will be loth to deliver an attack upon us. Mr. Carncgio is evidently occupying a false position in his words of praiso of the German Emporor as "the lord of peace;" for he is tho lord of peace only because of his strength and power as lord of war. Tho lesson is directly the roverse of tho inculcations of Mr. Carnegio when ho cries out against war armamonts, for if the great lord of peace in Eu rope is so because of his military strength, others will wish to b so for tho like reason, and becau&e safety clearly lies in ample preparation. And thus tho Carnegie decrying of military armaments is made both illogical and impossible as an argument for peace, since it takes tho true and actual posi tion iu reverse, GERMANY CHANGES ARTILLERY. When tho Balkan war broke out thero were explanations voluble and many, that the artillory of Bulgaria was im mensely superior to that of the Turks. Immediately invidious contrasts were drawn from this fact as to the compara tive effectiveness of the French and the German cannon; Bulgaria having been armed with the French Creusot gnus, their battories showed immense su periority at every point over the Turkish artillory. composed of Krupp guns. That was a humiliation to German pride and German effectiveness, which called for immediate investigation, and for a change if the facts were found as alleged. And now it is reported that Germany has decided to provide her army with new artillery. If so, Franco will no doubt consider that to be an immense compliment to her Creusot cannon and a confession that the French guns aro hotter than the Krupp guns of Germany. Of course, the Germans will not ad mit that this is tho cause of tho change, even though they mnkc such change. They will claim that tho change is mado in pursuance of tho advance of military science, and Germany's desiro to keep in the lead of all nations. And this explanation will also bo true enough; so that both Germany and Franco can congratulate themsolvos upon thiB change, Fra,)Ce ;nB as an admission of the her guns, and Germany iKM she makos tho chan ,1 , in in advance of all I Zt" 9 tho practical application. science. 01 tH On WudnoMlav the t 'B charged that the dav beforSM une had made rertal,, ; and ahowed obtain L?
