THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDYESDAY.......... .... April 23, 1890, CROSBY S. NOVES. — = THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. OO The periodical attack and defense of the merit system were made in the House yester- day. Each party proved how poor a civil service reformer its opponent is when in power, notwithstanding pledges and the wishes of the people. Mr. Lodge struck the key-note of popular sentiment on the subject when he said: “The President of the United States, in his Message, asked increased appropriations for the purpose of carrying out the civil service law. ‘The ge entleman who has stood twice at the head of the democratic ticket as their can- didate for the Presidency said in a 8) eee in Boston not three months ago that in his judg- ment the civil service law was all that stood between the civil service of the government and political degradation, Those are the opin- = of the two leaders of the two great parties, iatforms of those parties are before you. Ed fair and honest thing to do is not to stand i re and bicker as to who has lived nearest to the law, but to try and make that law better if possible, to try and put these offices on some ther r footing, upon something 1aore American than a system ‘ae back-aakee influence and po- litical intrigue.” Both parties are solemnly pledged to uphold the merit system and to extend the benefits which it confers upon the government, the public service and the people. The spoilsmen cam accomplish the overthrow of the system only by indirection, and in this case they seek todo so by cutting off supplies from the in- strument through which this system is applied. References to the recent investigation of the commission in this counection disclose very plainly that this inquiry, instead of being de- signed, as pretended, to correct the errors of individual officers and to improve the reform system, was intended by the accusers to throw discredit upon the system and to break it down, if possible. In view of this purpose, now clearly exposed, itis a matter of gratification tothe District, which is deeply interested in the maintenance of the merit system, that the collapsed investigation was so pitiful and com- plete a failure, so far as the infliction of any damage upon the merit system is concerned. $e In discussing the apportionment of the zoo- logical garden expenses some Senators and Bepresentatives confused the garden with the Rock Creek park project. It was the latter which was asked by the people of the city, and uot the scientific adjunct to the Smithsonian Institution‘for which officers of the latter made application. In addition to its stuffed animals the government had on the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution a collection of living animals, and wishing other accommo- dations for the latter exhibit it has secured ground for this purpose outside of the city limits, retaining title in itself and control in the Smithsonian Institu- tion. Itextorts from the District one-haff of the cost of this [extension of the National Museum res! estate and one-half the cost of these additions to the zoological exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution, Why should the Dis- trict pay one-half the expense of the govern- ment’s living specimens, and nothing in the matter of its stuffed specimens? Why should notthe District pay one-half the cost of the proposed additional building for the National Museum, if it can properly be required to pay one-half the cost of other real estate acquired by the government for the benefit of the Smith- sonisn Institution and for the advancement of science ¢ —_—_—— Col. Hains in response toa request from the Senate to the Secretary of War shows that a bridge across the Potomac from New York avenue to Arlington would cost $3,591,000 if made 105 feet above the water, 54 feet wide, ‘with roadway for vehicles 34 feet wide and two sidewalks of 8 feet each. He demonstrates the impracticability of a 150-foot bridge, or one high enough to allow of the clear passage under it of Jarge vessels with tall masts and also of alower and less expensive structure with a draw bridge. The argument for a draw bridge in such a river as the Potomac is always lame. The danger and inconvenience of that sort of structure should preclude the building of such a bridge. On the other hand, as Col. Hains makes clear, the cost of a bridge 150 feet high is much too great and the grading too steep. The 105-foot bridge is sufficient for the Passage under it without difficulty of all except the wallest vessels and these may pass by lower- ing their top masts. A new bridge across the Potomac and @ more convenient bridge to the national cemetery is very much needed. and the suspension bridge proposed by Col. Hains Seems to meet the popular and government demand ————— The women cf America have raised $7,000 for @ statue of Washington to be presented in their name to the republic of France, and th mean by next winter to raise the sum necessary to complete the statue. This will be a graceful action reciprocating favors of a like nature from gallant France, our old ally. In ma- terial value the La Fayette statue, and the statue of Liberty in New York harbor far out- weigh this tribute of our patriotic women, but happily for mankind good deeds are not valued by avoirdupois or troy or any other physical standard ———q@--— That peculiar and insufferable fool-fiend, the relic hunter, is rapidly breaking up the Lincoln monument at Springfield. The police should sit apo’ nights with him and the law should kindly guide his hand as it hovers over the pick amidst penitentiary stones. ————S ae The left-over Pan-Americans in Richmond are pretty much inthe same box as was the Chinaman on the Niagara bridge last week: they feel that they would be humiliated to come back to Washington and are too much in- censed against the Atlanta Constitution to go farther south. —————<— -— ‘The Court of Claims, the House of Repre- sentatives and the United States government have done all they can to make Mr. Silcott's jot s happy one, and he must be an ungrateful man, indeed, not to appreciate fully all the efforts in his behalf. $0 It is finally decided to make it the United States and District of Columbia Aggregation of Living Animais, all the honor and profits to go to the United States and half the expenses to the District of Columbia. $$ —___ United States Treasurer Huston has expressed an opinion that the vanits of the U. 8. Treasury should be strengthened in order to make more secure the funds locked up therein and the Senate and House committees on appropriations coincide with him. Protection is to be afforded, however, only against the common burglar and Rot against those who are suspected of having wpholy designs on the surplus. ——————— Minister Palmer is credited with being will- img to swap acastie in Spain for a governor's mansion in Michigan.
