JIOW OUR NATIONAL FINANCES
ARK MANAGED.
A Nf.w Japanese embassy, headed by a Ja
panese Assistant Minister of Finance, has
arrived at Washington for the purpose of
making minute investigations into the finan
cial polioy of this country, and the general
management of the publio funds. Jushe
Hirobumie Its, who is the leader of this
mission, will find much to admire in the or
ganization of the Treasury Department and
its diversified branches. He will discover
that admirable plans have been devised for
the collection, safe-keeping, and disburse
ment of thousands of millions of dollars;
that a series of checks and counter-checks
moke vulgar defalcations nearly impossible;
and that immense numbers of huge aooounts
are correctly adjusted. He will behold won
derful evidenoes of the capacity of the peo
ple to endure onerous taxation, of anunf alter
ing determination to maintain the public
credit, and of fidelity, in many quarters, in
matters relating to the receipts and expendi
tures of the Government.
If the Honorable Jushe nirobumie Ito
stops after making these investigations, he
will carry back with him to Japan the im
pression that we have discovered the secret
hidden from all other wealthy nations, of
spending the public money solely for the
publio good; of putting on taxation only to
the extent absolutely required; of' spending
money only where expenditure is imperatively
necetit-ary; and of guarding the national trea
sure as vigilantly as the miser
guards his worshipped hoard. Bat
the Honorable Ito will commit a sad
error if he prematurely adopts such
conclusions. He will have to look beneath
the mere machinery by which money is col
lected and paid out, to the influences that
mould the laws and issue the orders under
which payments are made, before he can
fathom the secret springs of the financial
policy of the United States. He will have to
comprehend that while Congress theoretically
holds the purse-strings, it necessarily intrusts
practical disbursements to various exeoutive
officials, and by the time he understands how
these officials occasionally exercise the dis
cretionary power with which they are
endowed, he will see that there
is a good deal of human nature
in man on this side of the wide waters of the
Tacifio as well as in Ormus or in Ind.
Travellers have affirmed that in the domains
of some despotic Oriental princes the ap
proaches to power were guarded by such an
exacting set of intermediate officials that it
could be set down as a rule that articles for
which the vender received but a dollar usually
drew ten dollars from the strong-box of the
prince. We have got nothing quite so bad
as this, as a regular system, in this
country, but in some ramifications
of American government there are dangerous
approaches to it. To an unscrupulous man
who possesses superabundant political influ
ence in the United States, all the laws on the
statute-books and all the checks of the Trea
sury Department furnish but feeble safe
guards for the public treasure. The golden
apples cannot easily be stolen by uninfluen
tial thieves; but if a smooth-tongued and
plausible pilferer happens to have the ear of
a Cabinet minister, the special favor of the
head of an important bureau, or the power
to smuggle a few insidious clauses into an
appropriation bill, it is wonderful how
quickly fortunes may be made out
of airy nothings, and how speedily
vast sums disappear from the Treasury for
which the American peop'e reoeive no sub
stantial equivalent. Take the case exposed
in the House bf Representatives a few days
ago by Mr. Dawes, as an illustration we
mean the Chorpenning case. The Honorable
Ito will find it hard to discover a parallel in
all the annals of corruption in Japan, China,
or India. Thirteen years after a mail con
tractor has completed his contract, and got
all the money to which he was legitimately
entitled, he is only prevented,
by a fortunate accident, from
pocketing hall a million dollars of the peo
ple's money on a pretext so flimsy that it is
cot worth a moment's consideration ! They
cannot do much worse than this under any
system of extortion that the genius of
Asiatio official corruption can invent. For
tunately, the contemplated wrong seems in
this instance to have been arrested, but the
mere fact that it was so nearly consummated
may well make the American people shudder
with the fear that from time to time Bimilar
schemes are completely successful; and that,
as the years roll on, official corruption ia
oi easts with frightful rapidity.
71IE LOSSES IN THE WAR.
Whin Napoleon started upon his grand era
fade against Prussia last summer, it was
with the openly avowed purpose of celebrat
ing the fete day of his uncle in Berlin. Bat,
while the I.Mh of August found the Emperor
himself a fugitive from Metz, and his princi
pal army just entering upon a fruitless strug
gle to get away from the Moselle in the direc
tion of Paris, the advance guard of the Frenoh
had entered the Prussian capital on the 3th
of August, net as conquerors, but as prison
ers of war. They were the heralds of a grand
liegira, the forerunners of a captive multi
tude which was destined, in less than five
months, to exceed the third of a million in
numbers.
According to official returns there were, on
the l.'ith of October, S."i77 officers and 1215,700
men held as prisoners of war in Germany.
By the 28th of October the number had been
increased to 173,000, including three Mar
shals of the Empire and about 0000 officers.
On the 28th of November the number was
swelled to 1",2"3 officers and 30,1,342 men,
and by the 1st of January the number was re
ported at 11,100 officers and 333,88;; men.
There is here a slight discrepancy in the
figures, but the captive host was so numerous
that a few thousands more or less are of but
little account. While it is impossible to give
the exact number captured previous to the
fall of Paris, with the battle or siege in which
they were taken, we present the following
statement, made up from the reports pub
lished from time to time, the official figures
being given in all cases in which they have
been announced:
At Wclssonburg 1,000
At Woerth a,0iH)
AtForbach 2,500

By the second capture of Orleans 10,000
At Montmedy 3,000
AtNultifc 000
In the pursuit to Le Mans 10,000
lu the battles of Le Mans 22,000
AtMessieres 2,000
AtPeronne 3,800
At Villernexel 800
Around BeUort 2,000
At St. uentifl 9,000.
AtLontfwy : 3,800
Making a total of 393,810
The offioers are not in all cases distin
guished from the soldiers, and it is impossi
ble to give in detail the number of the former
captured. The grand total of 300,800, which
is probably but slightly in exoess of the true
figures, includes only the unwounded pri
soners taken previous to the fall of Paris,
and exclusive of those captured during the
siepe of that city, the aggregate Frenoh loss
being swelled to still more startling propor
tions by adding the number of killed and
wounded. A low estimate of the killed and
wounded g'ves the following result:
In the battles and retreat from Welsscnburg
to the Moselle 30,000
In the battles around Metz 85,000
In the siege of Metz 15,000
In the battles around Sedan 40,000
In tho battles around Orleans 10,000
In the battles around Amiens 6,000
In the battles around Ueirort 10,000
In the battles around Paris 10,000
In the Una-rent sieges 10,000
150,000
Placing the aggregate number of un
wounded prisoners at 390,000, we have an
aggregate French loss, since the oommenoo
ment of hostilities, and exclusive of tho cap
tures at Paris, of 5iG,000.
It is impossible to arrive at the extent of
the loss sustained by the Germans, and diffi
cult even to approximate to it. During the
earlier period of the war, especially ia 'the
battles in the open field which preoedod the
capitulation of Sedan, the French fire was
even more effective than that of the Ger
mans, and the loss sustained by the latter in
killed and wounded was doubless greater than
that of their antagonists. But when the war
assumed its second aBpect that of a struggle
for the possession of the cities and fortresses
there was a material change, and taken
altogether, the aggregate German loss in
killed and wounded ia probably not
greater than that of the French, while
it will doubtless be found to equal
it. In the matter of prisoners, however,
the German losses have been so insignifi
cant as scaroely to affect their aggregate loss.
The official reports showed that up to the 4th
of October the Germans had sustained a loss
of 522 officers and 7C75 men killed, 1553
officers and 32,945 men wounded, and 121
officers and 5300 men missing a total loss of
2104 officers and 4 G, 4 S0 men. Reports published
about the 10th of Deoember place the Ger
man loss in killed and wounded at 3818 offi
cers and 50,025 men, and in missing at 41
officers and 7001 men a total loss of 3350
officers and 00,030 men. These figures do
not, however, include the two Bavarian and
one Wurtemberg corps and the division of
Hesse-Darmstadt, which suffered perhaps
more than any other portions of the German
army. The figures are doubtless understated,
and a fair estimate will not place the German
loss below 150,000.
It is by a contemplation of these figures
that we arrive at a just conception of the
magnitude and destructiveness of the straggle
which was precipitated upon Europe by the
anxiety of General Prim to fill the vacant
throne ef Spain. But the candidature of
Prince Leopold was merely the pretext seized
upon by the ex-Emperor of the French for an
assault upon Prussia for what ho was pleased
to regard as her aggrandizing policy. The
haste with which be rushed into the
unequal contest, together with the
complete demoralization of the army and
people of France which the policy of his
reign had wrought, cost hi in his sceptre, for
hich France has profound cause to be grate
ful. The marvellous suocess which has at
tended the German arms from first to last
has given to the Fatherland the realization
of that grand idea of German unity for which
her people have been longing for years, and
in iLis view of the subject, the war has bead
productive of the most benefisial results.
But when we come to contemplate the
300,000 ki led tnd wounded on both sides,
and the desolation of one of the fairest see
tioas of Europe, we may well doubt the
equality of the fruits of the war with the
terrible sacrifices of blood and property by
wnioh they have been purchased.
THE PUIiLIC WILDINGS.
Tng bill introduofd some dsy ago in the
State, House of Representatives by Mr.
Miller, to forbid the erection of the publio
buildings at the intersection of Broid and
Market streets, was yts'erlay mportol back
to the IIouBe by the Commute) on M inioipl
Corporations with a negative recommenda
tion. The report of the oommitu e is a brief
but comprehensive review of the whole ques
tion, and is an able argument against any
suoh interference with the Building Commis
sion as is contemplated in Mr. Miller's bill.
In regard to the allegation that tho citizens
of Philadelphia were induoed to vote for the
Penn Square site by misrepresentations, the
report makes this statement of the facts of
the cose, a statement that those who have
advocated the ereotion of the publio build
ings upon Washington and Independence
Squares know to be true in every particular.
The report says:
"Jt appears that on the Wednesday preceding the
election the opponents of 1'enu Square had sent ny
mall to each of the voters of the city of I'niltidelphu
a printed circular containing a wood-cut or the
publio buildings located In the centre of Peon
Square, which presented a very unfair representa
tion of the obstruction of Broad and Market streets,
and which circular asserts that the plan thereon
printed was a faithful drawlDg of what waa contem
plated by the commissioners.
'This circular and diagrams were also published
In the daily newspapers, and In large placards
posted In public placed. The commissioners, deem
ing it their duty to the publio to disavow the adop
tion of this plan aud the authorship of the language
quoted against them in tho circulars, met two (lavs
alter the lwsulng of this document and passed the
following resolution :
"Jesolvr4, That the officers of this commission be
directed to publish, through the publlj press, the
fact that no action has been taken by the board
touching the location of the public buildings at
the In tfi section ol Broad and Market streets, and
that the commission Is empowered by act of As
sembly either to locate separate bulldtugs upon
the four squares, or one buildup at the internee,
tion, as the majority of the commission may de
termine. 'Thus fur several days before the election the citl
Kens of Philadelphia were tuformed by circular!, oy
posters, by advertisements, aud by theoHloial decla
ration of the commissioners themselves, that the
buildings would be erected at tho intersection If a
majority of the commissioners so determine, and In
the (Hi e of this information they cast over three
filths oi their votes for Penn Square.
"it would seem a libel upon the intelligence of
the people of the metropolis of the State to assert
that t.hey voted in the durk for want of proper tutor
niutiou." ' Considering the wishes of a majority of the
voters of the city of Philadelphia as haviug
been clearly and unmistakably expressed, the
report then goes on to show the enormous
advantages that one building would have over
four. It states that according to the affida
vits of the arohitect, and the drawings sub
mitted to the commission, a single building
will cover an area of twenty-four thousand
five hundred and thirty-five square feet more
than four buildings, and yet the four build
ings will require a frontage of two thousand
nine hundred and twenty-eight feet more than
a single building, thus increasing the expense
fifteen or twenty per cent., and at the same
time considerably contracting the accommo
dations. If four buildiugs are erected, the
court-rooms will be obliged to obtain light and
air from the sides fronting noisy thorough
fares, whereas in a single building light and
ventilation will be obtained from the interior
court-yard. Four buildings will require four
distinct sets of heating apparatus, and every
annual expense incident to a publio building
will be quadrupled.
The statement of the case made in this
report from the Committee on Municipal
Corporations ought to be sufficient to put a
stop to any further agitation of the subject
in tho Legislature and to any further attempts
to interfere with the commissioners. The
clamor against placing the public buildings
at the intersection of Broad and Market
streets comes entirely from parties who are
interested in other sites, and who neither
want one building nor four upon Penn
Square. To yield to this clamor and to erect
four buildings instead of one would be to
produce a botched job that every citizen of
Philadelphia would be ashamed of before it
would be half finished, and that would never
give satisfaction to any one. It is the plain
duty, therefore, of the Legislature to refuse
to listen to any further discussion of the
publio buildings controversy, and to sustain
the verdiot of the people of Philadelphia as
expressed by the very decided vote of last
October.
Tuh murderer of Mary Mohrmann to-day
suffered the penalty of his crime; find dread
ful as was his dom, none who remember
the fiendish act of which he was guilty, can
say that it was undeserved. For many long
months the murderer succeeded in defying the
officers of the law, and his detection was con
sidered almost hopeless, when a series of
circumstances occurred which strongly con
firmed the suspicions that had already been
excited against him, and finally the whole
revolting story of the murder was rehearsed
by the one person who knew all about it
John Hanlon himself. Unable to keep his
secret, he told it to a fellow convict, and the
testimony of this man, Dunn, was confirmed
'in such a manner by the evidence of other
witnesses that not shadow of a doubt re
mained in regard to Hanlon's guilt. The
mystery of the murder of Mary Mohrmann,
that at one time appeared to be impenetrable,
bas been cleared up, and to-day outraged
justice has claimed its victim, and Hanlon
has suffered an ignominious death upon the
gallows as a wretch unfit to live among his
fellow men.
