If a part of the billa must be paid by congressional appropriation, and ‘f the expo- sition is nof to commemorate the discovery of America, as was originaily intended, why not €all the whole deal ‘off,’ and roopen the sub- fect on a new basis? As everybody knows, there is nut time enongh to make a success of the exposition if it is to be held in 1892; and 1893 would be very jittle better, Five years is fone too long. if long enough. Why not, therefore, celebrate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by proper ceremonial observances and displays at the national cap- ital, in October. "92. and hold the exposition later on. when adequate provision therefor can be made, and in the city where it can be beld to the best advantage, wholly divested of Political or sectional interests or considera- tions? If held in Chicago in 1892, or even in °93, under existing circumstances, the expo- sition is sure to be « conspicuous failure, as compared with like demonstrations in other THE is Bl POPULNENTH tae ALP UNUSUAL. a RED et OP AS co THAT WILL an vai of Seas re of Lace Curtains: 0 ‘urtal Si Lace Cortina, Be iret > Lace Curtains aes aa Anda gosd pay ether, Ande qood Alovo!

Moreover it is one that will be approved by the country at large. $e No newspaper which has the slightest desire to be fair should speak of Campbell as giving out civil service examination questions. The | inference from such a statement without fnrther explanation is that the questions were tobe used ina future examination, and were betrayed in advance to a candidate. Sueh ®u act would taint with the sus- picion of unfairness the civil service examinations. It would, as far as it went, over- throw the merit aystem, by substituting cor- | ruption or favoritism for merit as the test of appointment, The evidence shows that the paper which Campbell copied contained | the questions asked at an old examination, not to be used again, and the answers to such questions by a person examined, show- ing conclusively that the copy was made after and not before the examination. The evidence also shows that the only value of such a copy toa person about to be examined consisted in the idea which was given of the general scope of such examinations, which could be as weli obtained from sample lists printed im the commission's reports. Campbell was confused and contradictory ia his ideas of why he took the copy. and made a poor show- ing as a witness, but there is absolutely nothing in the evidence to overcome the clear proof that the questions given out had been used, Were not to be used again, and were utterly ‘worthless so far as giving toans competitor inan examination an undue advantage is concerned, Under these circumstances the bare statement that civil service examination questions were given out involves a suppression of the truth, mnjustly injurious to public confidence in the fair administration of the merit system. And when the questions to which reference is made are spoken of as current questions and treated fn discussion as questions to be asked again the debater does not stop with a mere suppres- sion of the truth. ‘The average Senator shows his appreciation of the weakness of the case against the news- Papers anent the publication of secret session proceedings by bundling up his papers, put- ting on his hat and overcoat and going home to dinner while the dreary arguments in favor of forcing the newspapers to tell are in prog- ress, The empty chair 1s an eloquent re-en- forcement of the Hallet Kilbourn decision by the Supreme Court. The secret session except for the consideration of certain treaties must go. Unquestionably thatis the popular senti- ment. If the Senate in defiance of public Opinion should abolish the press gallery in- stead of secret sessions the act would be con- strued as an expression of distrust of and con- tempt for the people, who would be shut out from knowledge of the Senate's proceedings. and the prejudice against the Senate, based on the belief that itis an aristocratic and exclu- mve body, would be immensely increased. The Senate ought not to aspire to occupy the posi- tion of the English house of lords in popular vegard and respect. ee — The death of Mrs. Caroline Donovan of Catonsville, Md., terminates a beneficent life. She gave much to educational and charitable institutions. Her donation of one bundred thousand dollars to Johns Hopkins university last fall was followed by a bequest in her will of ten thousand dollars for Washington and Lee University, Virginia. —+# When Transvaal mobs sing “Rule Britannia” before the residence of the republic's presi- Geut@ revision of the Brazilian idea is sug- gested.
