4 ‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: CROSEY 5. NOYES... ..Faitor. THR EVENING STAR bas the fullest Virealation of amy N: im the fend ay nm Aavertieine eaten ie erie Bochington. oe Whether the funeral junket costs $7,000 or ‘$70,000 is not so much the point as that, what- ever the figures, the expense is unnecessary, wasteful and scandalous. As s matter of fact, however, the junket alone does not begin to cover the whole expense of the Congressional faneral. The house of which the deceased is & member usually adjonrns fora whole day in his honor, frequently both houses do, and both housesalways use the greater part of another day im eulogizing him. No matter if the public busi- ness is already considerably in arrears and the greatest detriment to legislation, already over- crowded, results, the junket and the eulogies are never dispensed with. The cost of a day in Congress, with the added cost of two-thirds of another day,and the four, five or seven thousand dollars for the funeral, make alto- gether, probably, as much as the sum stated by Mr. Oates and which has been criticised be- canes it does not precisely tally with the ac- counts as kept by the Sergeant-at-Arms and which of course only includes the junket. Tue Sram sees no reason why this extravagance should continue. The public do not begradge the paying to the memory of a deceased mem- ber of Congress all proper respect, including suitable escort and sepulture of remains and wach public record of service and private virtues as may be deemed his reasonable due. But all expenseard proceedings beyond this are detrimental to public interests and are con- demned unequivocally by public opinion. It would be a wise reform to cnt off special trains and two-thirds or three-fourths of the funeral escert, together with all flummeries and all “refreshments” that cannot be classed as ac- tual: necessary fare for the journey. Again thera should be no loss of time in Congress except on the day of announcing the death of ‘the member, and then perhaps not for the en- tire Gay. All eulogy might well be pronounced in an extra evening session or be confined to one or two members whose commendation woud not be purely formal, or merely a dis play-of skill in word manipulation for the per- sons! glory of the orator. >. ———— The advisory streot-cleaning committee ap- pointed by Mayor Grant of New York to in- vestigate and report how the streets of the meteppolis can be made clean has showered the tenth upon the mayor in 153 pages of prinéed pamphlet. The sensible advice of the committee is to take street cleaning out of polities and make it a matter of business. The ‘committee especially condemns the system of employing men in the department, making it merely = matter of political patronage dis- tribrted among district leaders and other poli- ticiags with s “pull.” The result, it says, is tke employment of lazy, aged, worn-out men who do not do a haif-day’s work. As long as New York's street cleaners are hired primprily to carry primaries and elections, and only incidentally to attend to the streets, both the sereets and politics of the city will be dirty. While the bold and clear exposure of polit- ical domination as the principal evil to be reme‘ied is the most notable feature of the committee's report, it contains other in- teresting and useful suggestions for the improvement of methods of street cleaning whick may be of service to the municipal au- thorit of Washington, a city which forta- nately from its form of government escapes ‘the carse of political street cleaning, and in whick consequently the task is nota hopeless one. ee The women of this country, who desire the Tighte of the ballot box in addition to those they aow have in the band box, saw in the resolctions of the republican state league of ‘Masse chusetis yesterday » ray of hope as bril- Hiant jand as pleasing as an Easter bonnet ‘Thesefresolutions were to the effect tha: whercas im thelate terrific cyclone, which swep: the re- publican party out of Congress and on the desclete shores of public disapproval, only in ‘those Sections where women had some degree of suffrage, had the party been able to preserve @ semblance of itself, therefore it was the duty of theparty “to extend full municipal suffrage to qualified women voters and inviting the aid,” de., &e., “to secure the future ascendency of the-republican party,” &c., &c. This looks somewhat as if the republicans of Massachu- setts bad given up hope of recovering except the gentle nursing of woman, and that it toon be in order to run a fril. anda tuck coma She rand eid fag en emblemmntl. of the new - of thinga Great Britain, Germany and Russia are all engugid to make their ive national ex- hibits at the world’s fair wha: they should be to reffect credit upon those great countries. ‘The fair bas been handicapped with difficulties, but is fast working out of them.
