Washington, June 20.—The majority
and minority reports of the joint commis
sion on the signal service, geological sur
vey, coast ana geodetic survey, and hy
drographic office are fori d ble docu
ments to examine, but there is a good deal
in them to repay the labor. The commis
sion lias been at work nearly two years,
and lias taken an enormous amount of tes
timony, and the voluminous reviews of it
are not more elaborate than the import-
lance of the subject justifies. The general
results reached have already been stated in
a few words of press summary, but there is
much more that is worth attention.
The majority are not disposed to turn
over the coast and geodetic establishment
to the charge of the navy department till
the primary survey is complete; but their
report nevertheless shows that the expen
ditures for this work up to June 30, 1884,
had been $20,182,400, and that there is at
least nine years’ work to be done. The
minority favor the transfer to the hydro-
graphic office of the navy department, and
declare that the work as now done is tedi
ous and costly, and is used by the organi
zation which controls it “as simply a step
ping stone to a larger and more congenial
field of work, which, when once entered,
will afford it perpetual employment.”
This coast and geodetic survey, say the
minority, “is running a grand arc of trian
gles across the continent,” on a basis of
fl,000,000 for that one job, and
fifty years for the time required. It
also finds that $24,503,143 is the true amount
already expended, without even complet
ing the primary survey of our coast line.
The methods of the coast survey were
found to be loose, salaries having been paid
for years to persons who had rendered no
thority of organic law,” a grand arc of tri
angulation was constructed all along the
Appalachian chain, for the alleged pur
pose of correcting errors in the coast tri
angulation. The minority consider it to
be really intended for “an ultimate trigo
nometrical survey of the whole area of the
country,” which would be an affair
of hundreds of millions or billions.
The coast survey is, in fact,
at this moment seeking an appro
priation toward constructing a magnetic
map of the whole of North America. The
conclusion of the minority is that it will
take thirty-six, instead of nine, years to
finish the primary survey. A sharp pub
lisher reprints the coast survey limps, and
leaves out nearly all their costly topogra
phy, with the result of getting $2.50 for
charts which the coast survey sells for 50
cents. The cost of the topography is be
lieved to tie $333 per square mile, or, even
with the most liberal drawbacks, $250 per
square mile. Yet “it is absolutely certain
that, Hat as most of our coast is, much of
the topography on the coast and geodetic
maps cannot be seen from a vessel when
such topography runs from one to three
miles from the shore.” In other words,
the cost is thrown away. In some cases
features like houses are liable to be
changed, and thus to become even mis
leading. Yet while this elaborate work
was going on, the maps had not. made
known the true location of Nantucket
yhoals.
The reasons why all other countries put
such work under their marine ministries
are that sailors know best what they need;
that naval officers become familiar, by
doing this work, with their own coasts;
that it gives them proper professional oc
cupation in time of peace; that they do
for their ordinary salaries, payable in any
case, what otherwise civilians must be
hired to perform.
The signal service also produces dis
agreeing reports. Three members of the
commission are not ready to make it a
civilian bureau, but nevertheless recom
mend that the Fort Myer school of in
struction shall be abolished. The three
other members favor the transfer of the
weather service to a civilian organization,
but draw up a bill for another form of
weather bureau in the war department,
which would employ 373 persons instead
of 534, and yet increase the number of ob
serving stations from 132 to 195, while mak
ing an annual saving of $100,000. At pres
ent, they say, the signal service men are
soldiers only in name, and a “mere uni
formed police to watch the weather and
watch each other.” This is not the only
evil in the organization .-
Frequent complaints have been made by
enlisted men of rude personal insults by
their officers; of undue and illegal and
harsh punishments indicted contrary to
the rules and articles of war, of denials of
the rights to petition their officers for re
dress of personal grievances; of refusals to
court martial non-commissioned officers
for offences they bad committed toward
the men; of insufficient supplies of edible
food; of favoritism in the assignment of
men to signal stations and in promotions,
and of efforts to induce or force men to
make representations to congress favori.iq
the continuance of the military features of
the signal service, and to secure an in
crease of rank in the official staff of the
corps.
Without passing judgment on these
complaints, half the members of the com
mission hold that the system has resulted
in discord rather than harmony. But the
item of expense is the most extraordinary.
England expends for home weather ser
vice annually sfiS,150; Russia, $38,090; Aus
tria, $14,003.' i.ast year’s expenditures of
the United States were 1*792,593; the cur
rent year’s appropriations arc $840,0S0;
next year’s estimates are $1,130,833.
The geological survey in some respects
outdoes in extravagance even the coast
survey. A portion of the committee
have the estimate of Director iPowell
that the completion of the
geological map of the United States will
occupy twenty-four years more at a cost of
$18,484,000; but they remark that “ in tho
nature of things these estimates are only
approximate and largely below the true
cost.” These members are those who most
favor the present system. The remaining
members go into a great number of details
showing that the cost and time will be far
greater than Major Powell admits, and
that most of his proceedings are without
the slightest authority of law.
The one tiling on which all the members
agree is Hint to place these various works
under the charge of a common scientific
bureau would make matters even worse
than they are now.

GREENVILLE, S. C.— Messrs. Westmore
land Bros.: I have for years been a sufferer
from weak stomach—lack of power to di
gest tood—and consequently gcdcral debil-
‘ty. I had tried all helps' that eminent
physicians and all the materia mediea
could suggest, ami found little or no relief.
\ our Culisaya Tonic was recommended to
me by a friend who had used it, who had
been suffering like myself. 1 tried it, and
j by the use of three or four bottles found I
was much stronger, could eat and sleep
and do hard work as 1 never did before. It
is now more than a year that 1 have en
joyed uninterrupted good health, and by
the occasional use of your Tonic I have en
joyed a degree of health that I have not
enjoyed for fifty years, and 1 have now got
to tlie three score. I am very desirous that
■ others suffering ns I have done should
! know the great value of your Tonic, and
therefore make this statement that it
should'induee them to try it.

Soothing Svrl'P should always lie used
when children are cutting teeth. It re
lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces
natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as
1 “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant
| to taste. It soothes the child, softens the j
j gums, allays al! pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels and is the best known
