4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: FUFspaY -.Mareh 3, 1889, ee eee THE EVENING STAR bas tne fallest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium ts worth more than all the other papers published in Washington, The duty of selecting two civil Commission- ers for the District of Columbia anda successor to Judge Merrick upon the District supreme bench will be among the first which Pres ient Harrison will be called upon to exercise. The manner in which thi sduty is performed will affect the capital more seriously than the President's choice of his cabinet. The experience of all large American cities shows that many notable evils in mu- nicipal government arise from making s direct political issue of the selection of city suthorities, and of drawing strictly party lines in choosing such officers. Municipal authorities are in very many respects the busi- ness agents rather than the political represen- tatives of the tax-payers of a city, and to the extent that their selection can be based upon the public opinion of their honesty and effi- ¢iency rather than upon the consideration solely of the interests of a party in a state or in the nation, to that extent the results have been found to be good. The conversion of acity government into a mere political machine is not only hurtful generally in all municipalities, but it is especially injurious in the case of the District, whose legislature is selected for it by the states, without consultation with it as to its political preferences, It is necessary that the District should be officially on speak- ing terms with both parties among its legisla- tors in Congress, and the community can ill afford to have its municipal government con- verted into the political tool of a single party. For these reasons the attempt has been made to maintain the local District government as Ron-partisan. The custom has been to select one of the civil Commissioners from each of the great parties. The army officer who serves as engineer commissioner is assumed to be not much of a politician. An administration, re- sponsible for the conduct of municipal affairs, may be expected to see to it that the city government is not used for the benefit of the opposing party. | Political leanings of two of the Commissioners | favorable to the party which that administra- | tion represents will effectually secure this end. ‘There is no danger that for the next four years, even with one Commissioner of democratic tendencies, the District government will bea democratic machine; and to the extent that President Harrison prevents a swing to the other extreme by so constructing the municipal government that it shall fairly represent the people and business interests of Washington, even at the expense of its efficiency as a re- publican machine, to that extent he will receive the regard and gratitude of the people to be governed. Another consideration, in addition to that of the desirability of an approximate non-parti- sanship, deserves to be suggested. The Com- missioners are influential suggestors of legislation concerning street and other public | improvements in all parts of the District. They have been appointed invariably from the west- ernmost section of the northwestern quarter of the city, and central, east and south Washing- ton complain that the result has been a sec- tional discrimination by the Commissioners, unfavorable to them. There is no condition of affairs more to be deprecated in municipal con- cerns than that in which sections are arrayed against each other, and sectional jealousies thwart every project for the general good which happens to specially benefit one portion of the city slightly more than another. There is some gound for the complaints of the people who do not live in the northwest quarter, and there seems to be no good reason why, with the re- moval of sectional jealousies in view, one of the three Commissioners should not be appointed from among the residents of that great stretch of city which lies east of west 15th street. It is asserted that no commissioner yet appointed has resided east of that street. The northwest section is the beauty and pride of the city. It is the most populous, the wealthiest, the most | fashionable, and, through the magnificent res- idences that have been erected in it, and the park and street improvements granted to it, by far the most attractive portion of the capital, But two out of three Commissioners ought to satisfy it, and thoughtful residents of that quarter, mindful of the general good of the city and the perma- nent as distinguished from the temporary wel- fare of their section, readily assent to the Proposition that the custom of selecting all the | Commissioners from one corner of the city breeds jealousies, is hurtful to the interests of i the community as a whole, and may well be | modified. ee President Harrison's inaugural utterances | concerning civil service reform are of special local interest. Nowhere else is that stability in the character of government service, which comes from the faithful enforcement of the merit as distinguished from the spoils system, of such great importance as at the capital, What the President says is direct and clear. Few can impute ambiguity to it, He avoids definitions, and after urging moderation and Judgment in the canvass for office, expresses the hope that he will be able to do something more for civil service reform. Good service is the condition of permanency in the public service and the president assures those who are now in civil positions that they need not fear removal if by faithful performance of duty they deserve to be retained. The civil- service law is to be enforced positively and without evasion. The position is taken by Gen. Harrison that as the civil list in- @reases in the number of officers accept- able to fair-minded men of the Opposition | for their impartiality and integrity the remo- | vals with each change of administration will | diminish. In short, the secret of a successful civil service he believes to lie in the just and Proper exercise of the appointing power. and that any appointment is bad that removes a Good official even if a worthy one is put in his i ———— ‘The cabinet as finally constituted is a guar- anty of asafe administration. The confidence the country bas in Gen. H resentative American citizens. Their impress on the government of the country during the next four years may be expected to be judicious and conservative. ‘That the foreign press approves the inaugu- ral adress and assumes from the general tenor of the speech that this administration is to cul- tivate peaceful and harmonious relations with the rest of the world is an omen of good. The legacy of international complications left by the retiring administration all offer international problems to be settled with the great powers of Europe. $$ The inaugural address of President Harrison treats vigorously, but in general terms only, of the great issues over which the battles of his THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1889—SIXTEEN PAGES. : fokhs E vali 8 aR.
