Elliot believes that the use of the receiving WASHINGTON. SATURDAY arch 4, 1893. With the applause towhich no man can be | insensible ringing in bis ears Grover Cleveland today journeyed to the Capitol and there, for the second time in his traly remarkable life, | took the oath of office prescribed for those who achieve the dignity of election to the presi- dency of the United States. Then he pro- ceeded to the White House and took formal possession of the in which for four years, next prior to the recently-expired ad- istration, he had bis home. It was a great triumph. On the fourth day of March, 1839, he accompanied Gen. Harrison to the historic east front of the Capitol and listened without apparent perturbation to the yells of delighted republicans; today he rode once more, but not as the vanquished one, and the cheers that rent the atmosphere were, he | knew, for him. It was a great occasion for the | democratic party, the party so sweepingly re- turned to power, yet all the welcome noise was | not made by dem: | sion rats; along the sidewalks | and in the stands were people of other political beliefs whose good sound American sense told | them that Cleveland was not President of any faction but had been chosen chief magistrate of | the entire nation and was therefore thetr Presi- dent. And it was in this evident broadening of the national spirit that most pleasure was to be found. Superlatively great, this nation will prosper as it should only when the bitterness of | partisan feeling has been partially eliminated and when merit alone is the universal standard by which public men shall be gauged. But gorgeous decoration, martial music, prancing steeds and the plaudits of more than half # million people cannot obscure the fact that President Cleveland stands face to face with great duties and must bear heavy responsibility. Financial and industrial problems demand im- mediate attention, but must wait until the ad- | ministrative machinery has been readjusted so | as to operate in conformity with the conditions | that have naturally followed the election of November last. For awhile the office segker | will clamorously annoy, but President Cleve- land never did and possibly never will permit minor considerations of that sort to inter-| fere with the more important duties of bie exalted position. And the problems will not become fewer as time moves on. The country grows—is today more populous by nearly fifteen millions of men and women | it was when Grover Cleveland first en- tered the Executive Mansion—and its changing moods are in danger of becomifig more fre- quent and less patriotic. A strong band may be needed to control and unless capital and labor speedily develop more millennial in- fluences there are grave possibilities contained within the immediate future. ‘That the President will devote himself to “turning the rascals out”—the only reason why they should be so termed being their non- | democratic predilections—is far from probable, | for victorious Mr. Cleveland resembles Sir | Philip Sidney's hero who “seeks the glory, not the prey.”* President Cloveland returns to a brighter, | eon which he/ turned his back four yearsago. There have been | growth and improvement and there may be | very much more of desirable progress if the | President will but remember that in addition | to being the chief among sixty-five millions of | people he is also mayor of Washington. ae Folks who did not make their initial appear- ance at the national capital unti! last night or this morning and who intend returning to their homes within the next twenty-four hours will hare little or no opportunity to become ac- | quainted with the city’s permanent and ever | increasing attractions. And this is to be re-| gretted, for of all the populous centers in the United States none approaches in beauty this city of Washigton. For the faulty weather which has today produced so much discomfort there is no local responsibility, but if visitors | are inclined to blame the inaugural committee | or Secretary Rusk let them pause fora momentin | their objurgatory career and figure out how very much leas unpleasant it is here when | meteorological conditions are moist and chilly than it would be on the streets of the town they came from. The smooth highways for which Washington is famed never become muddy nor can any considerable quantity of water accumu- | late on their surface. When the weather is | bad here, tramping outdoors is uncomfortable, | but it is, at its worst, luxurious when compared with like exercises in other cities. Whether there is sunshine or cloud, rain or drought, | Blizzard or balmy warmth, Washington is a! more desirable place to be in than can be found | tlsewhere on all this great continent. see Of course the War Department had some good and sufficient reason for ordering Capt. | James L. Lusk to duty at West Point, thus| removing him from a sphere in which he has shown much ability. As assistant to the E gineer Commissioner Capt. Lusk has made the sewage problem an especial study and ont of bis intelligent activity have come many good and | healthful results. Perhaps the army regula- tions demand periodical changes in station, but | it does seem a trite unbusineslike to take an om a field with whieh he is acquainted and which, by his expe- rience, may be beneficially worked. Maybe the department thought Capt. Lusk deserveda rest | after his useful labors here: if that was the idea | the West Point assignment could not be im- | proved upon. ——__-— Now is the time to circulate petitions for changing inaug m day to April 30th, the | date of Washington's fi uguration lay | of rs, genial temperature, and bis toric | With commendable humanity the police shel- tereda nom! ors, who would, but for | snow celis, it -< d wore a Si; om him just as read on the man who wore a Tammany tiger on his hat. i hi badge, ¥ ws it did What disgra: aut fired the rain bomb | — wee - | Hail to the ebief wise snow.

George H. Elliot. the engincer officer in eharge,and frequently and heartily indorsed by Tne Stax. The principal ob n to the Po- tomac water is its cccasional @uddiness.

All water entering this reservoir, ling the mone: | which, by the way, has recently been made a avoid the necessity of costly filtration and largely increase the city’s stored water supply, upon which it would have to devend in various imaginable cases of emergency. But Col. Elliot in getting rid of the mud does not pro- pose to acquire disease germs that may drain into the receiving reservoir. When the aqueduct was first constructed there were no causes that could defile the water which ran into the receiving reservoir, but now the adjacent lands are fully occupied and, as a consequence, the drainage into the great basin except from the Potomac, is to be excluded by diverting numerous small streams. It is ad- visable that the same attention which is to be devoted to the protection of this section of the | aqueduct be applied to all other parts of its course. Most epidemics are traceable to their | origin in the water supply. This fact is recog- | nized and emphasized by the appointment, in connection with Washington's Sanitary League, of a committee to investigate the sources of the water, and the pointed suggestion to every citizen is to eee that the water which he uses has suffered no neighborhood or beck yard or other local taint. ee Perbaps there is no better word than “dis- appointment” to express the feeling of many— very many, people who have watched closely the Inter proceedings of the House of Repre- sentatives that went out of existence today at noon. When election day was over the know- ing ones prophesied the liveliest kind of a ses- sion. The jovially-sarcastic Thomas Brackett Reed was expected to jump on Speaker Crisp from start to finish and to enliven the pro- ceedings at every possible opvortunity, while others of the defeated party would, it was cal- culated, assist in bringing about that mon- key-and-parrot sort of a time which delights the galleries and helps make the news- | papers interesting. But things did not work | that way. The era of good feeling had y arrived, and where wormwood and soked for there flowed a rich and ing stream of balm. Instead of obstructionists the republicans becoming really devoted themselves to holding up the Speaker's hands and left the objections toa few democrats who spent their nights in studying the Constitution of the United States and their days in worrying the House with re- cently acquired and to them novel ideas and in- | formation. From the beginning it was understood that no new issues were to be made and this agreeme e fractured. Sil- ver and th at, but no one looked for conclusions and no one felt as though he had been deceived when the session came toa peaceful and inoffensive end. But the prophets and soothsay were looking for three months of riotous bebavior are dis appointed. —— +02 ——_ The water tunnel was to have been peid for | by the water takers of the city, including the government, on the theory that an increased supply of water was to be enjoyed by them through its construction. The water takers were not consulted as to this work, had no con- trol over it, were not responsible in any way for the blunders committed by Uncle Sam through his agents, which resulted in the loss of nearly two million dollars ex- pended upon the tunnel, The obliga- tion of the local water takers was the im- plied obligation to furnish a quid pro quo in | case their water supply was increased. Their | water supply was not increased and equitably they are not indebted in any amount toUncie Sam on this account. In appropriating to itself a million dollars of the ict funds to meet losees caused by the blunders of its agents | the nation appreciates that it is exacting sume- thing for nothing, that it is misappropriat- which it disburses as trus- tee or guardian of the national city. It| no longer practises this extortion upon the water takers alone, by compelling them to pay for water which they do not get, but it boldly applies the general taxes of the city to reim-! buree itself for the money wasted by its agents | and buried by them in @ holeiu the ground. Nearly half million this year it appropriates | for this purpose, a brilliant stroke of economy | or highway robbery according to the point of | view. Next year the higher liquor licensss will probably bring in sufficient revenue to pay off | the balance of this alleged debt. The liquor dealers will thus pay for increasing the water supply, a payment to which they will raise no objection when they reflect that this increase is purely imaginary. +e —_ Anex-United States minister to Liberia has | taken the trouble to deny thet he is after the | office of recorder of deeds for the District, small salaried office.
