Ser THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: more than all the other papers published in Washington. Hew York Ofice: Room 3, Tribune Building. That the centennial of the establishment of the District of Columbia should be suitably celebrated is admitted generally. It is mat- ter of much import, not simply to the inhab- itants of the District, but to all the people everywhere in the Union who feel a proper pride in the foundation of their seat of govern- ment Among the centennials connected with ‘the framing of the government none has more local interest to the citizens of this District and vicinity. The question—and the only question—in their minds is the precise day on which the celebration should take place to be the fittest commemoration of the event, The bill for the establishment of the District of Colambia and of the capital of the United States therein was approved by President Washington and became a law on the 16th of July, 1790. Although the preparations went on the boundaries of the District were not fixed until the 30th of March, 1791. The corner stone was laid at Jones’ Point, be- low Alexandria, April 15, 1791, the Freemasons oof Alexandria, the city government of that place and the original commissioners for laying off the federal Dis- trict in the ceremonies. The latter date is certainly the crowning event of the work of establishing the District. When the survey was finished there was a District imesse; before that there was only a District tm posse or in futuro, The laying of the cor- ner stone was the fixed point in the work, at which it culminated. It was the determina- tion, in other words, of the survey which set- tled the boundaries. Whether the one-hun- dredth anniversary of the first complete act, the signature of President Washington to the law which made the District a certainty, or the second complete act, the establishment of the metes and bounds, by which the world knew just where the District territory was, is the more suitable time to adopt as the time in which to commemorate the foundation of the federal District of Columbia has not yet been determined by Congress. The citizens of the District have not indicated their desires. ‘There has been some talk on the subject, but ne formal movement has yet been made. Tue Sean suggests that the approach of the cen- tennial period, whether July 16, 1790. or Apri 15, 1791, be accepted as the date for the com- memoration, makes it important that some section shall be taken forthwith. In view of the shortness of the time between now and she 16th of July, it might be welleven if pub- ic sentiment inclined to the celebration upon that date, to postpone it until next year and the 15th of April There are excellent reasons that could be urged in favor of the latter as an independent proposition. “It [the Post] would not establish a civil pen- vion list, but all employes should be kept secure n their during good behavior for a cer- tain term of years, subject only to the same political rota! that put one President out and another President in, substitute one cabi- 1et for another, and put new men at the heads of = departments.” — Washington Post, Dec. 10, In the face of this opinion that subordinate employes should be subject to the same political rotations as the heads of the departments our cotemporary pronounces false the assertion that it believes that the clerks in a department should change with changes in its head. The clerks of Washington and the city itself do not believe that the subordinate em- ploges of the government, performing routine duties, should all be subject to removal on po- litical grounds, on the same footing with the responsible heads of an administration. The adoption of that idea would involve a re-estab- lishment of the spoils system, with all its in- jurious effects upon the interests of the capi- tal, the efficiency of the public service, | and the welfare of the republic. Our co- | temporary also pronounces false the head- line assertion of Tue Sran that the investigating committee will vindicate the Commissioners. Events only can show whether this prophecy is correct. It was not asserted that the committee had said that its report would be of this nature, and denials of this imaginary assertion are not in point. Our cotemporary is unwise to make specific issues of fact. It would be wiser to stick to its policy of resort to unanswerable billingsgate. Lord Randolph Churchill was found yester- day among those who criticised the government in the matter of the Parnell report. He is not unfrequently severe in his animadversions upon bis own party, but he has never given the tory government quite so large a piece of his mind as he did yesterday in his bitter denunciation of their conduct. To American readers his de- mand that the London Times should be in- chuded in the strictures of the report was per- feetly fair and and it is regretted that the re- salt of a liberal-unionist’s motion to that end was a vote of 259 to 321. The time has not come when the English house of commons can do justice to the Irish leaders. Another gen- eral election will probably bring that time. — Dr. Nausen, @ Swedish explorer, proposes to try the same route tothe north pole as was traveled so disastrously by De Long's and by Nordenskjold’s expeditions—the route by the islands north of Siberia. He thinks he can construct his vessel so that when pressed by ice it will be elevated and not broken to pieces, This project until disaster overtakes it may amuse the old tars who have “been there.” Aretic exploration has not paid well, the sec- ondary scientific research in fauna and flora hardly compensating for the great risk and actual suffering mcurred. Nevertheless to the end of recorded time we shall have arctic ad- venture and honor. os If the story that the leaders of the negro race in the south and southwest are meditating a escent upon Oklahoma with forty or fitty thousand colored people before the census is taken in June should have any truth in it the republic would soon have a test of the possibil- ities of the race as state-builders. The story goes on to say that they would if reported in safficient numbers at the census taking apply forthwith for admission into the Union. The story is interesting until contradicted by ‘events. ————- ‘The Maryland Senate made one step forward im favor of genuine ballot reform when it re- Jected the amendment to the bill providing for separate official ballots. The single official ballot is absolutely necessary to the measure, qx ‘That great Virginian. the intimate friend of Washington, George Mason, opposed the Con- stitation which he had assisted in framing chiefly because, in his judgment, the Senate had been made too aristocratic. Col. Mason died before Senators proclaimed that the pub- leation of the proceedings of executive ses- sions was a trespass on the private rights or property of the Senators. Had you been thinking that an umbrella isn’t property, and thatthe carrying away of one belonging to another person isn'ta punishable offence? A gentleman who entertsined that idea, and acted upon it, was sent to the peni- ‘entiary for three years by a judge in Pittsburg on Saturday last. + The proposition by the harmony combine of the New York democrats to give Mr. Cleveland the Presidency and Governor Hill the U. 8 ————— U. & Senators on the witness stand appear to be quite as egregious ignorami as newspeper correspondents.
