The answer should be as plain to the spoilamen as it is to the believers in « businesslike administration of public af- airs. No one looked for the “clean sweep’ which the o was possible that great political pressure might compel the President to silence on such an im- portant topic and thus give encouragement to Favening wolves who would if it were possible tear down the fence and devour the flock of | helpless ones whose sole offense was fidelity to the best interests of a great government. ° But the President was not silent. He made his posi, tion unmistakably plain, paid appropri tribute to the equity and usefulness of the rules which, during his first torm, he extended and strengthened materially, and now, at the com- mencement of anc foreshadows more disappointment for those who are strugghng to reach the political Marah | whose sweet-tasting waters deceive the thirst; President Cleveland's inconsiderate principles— | for with him words mean something have wronght dism Not content with saying that civil service reform bad found a place in | the public policy and laws because it secured the fitness and competency of appointees to office he called attention to the fact that it also had for its object the removal from political action of “the demoralizing madness for spoils” and thus intimated what may be expected of him. Then came that knockdown sentence: “The benefits already gained through this i strumentality, and the further usefulness it promises, entitle it to the hearty support and encagragement of all who desire to see our publ service well performed, or who hope for the elevation of political sentiment and the purification of political methods:" which means that the scope of the rules will be extended and that the spirit which is to animate the administration will not be of the ward-boss type. It is true that there are thousands of federal officers now unprotected, but there will be fewer such four years hence. If the spoilsmen can extract any satisfaction out of the abundance they imagine is now within their reach they are welcome to it. To the unprejudiced bystander it seems as though some people were whistling to keep their cour- age up, but what a weak, wavering, unmelodious sort of a whistle it is. ——___ +++ ___ It is extremely unfortunate for Washington that the government of the United States ca not make a satisfactory exhibit at the world fair without impoverishing some of the collec- tions which are such attractive local features. During the coming summer hundreds of thou- sands of strangers will visit Washington and but for the fact that the Capitol, the White House, the broad and tree-shaded avenues, and other material features of which we are proud are practically immovable, Washington would have only a little to interest the countless Amer- jeans and foreigners who will surely be with us before another winter comes. In its anxiety to Present a good showing each department will send to Chicago the cream of its be- longings, and as a result there will be unsightly gaps im the National Museum and in several other public-haunted buildings. The great collection of coins belonging to the mu- seum will bea thousand miles away from its Proper abode and so will many other less val- uable yet none the less attractive pieces of gov- ernment property. Were this exposition in England the British Museum would not be robbed to make the temporary show more popular. ——-e2____ The administrative change which commenced tobe on Saturday last and which is now most active has resulted in separations more or less painful, but it is probable that none of these | caused greater regret than that which severed | the official relations of Gen. J. M. Rusk and the Agricultural Department. Popular as other members of the Harrison cabinet were. none of them were so closely in touch with their subor- dinates as was Secretary Rusk, and this was | evidenced by the bandsome testimonial which was yesterday evening presented to the general by those who, for four years, have very prop- erly regarded bim as their friend. That he was worthy such recognition is everywhere ad. mitted.

The necessity for the estab- lishment, under government control, of a great and truly national institution of learning has been urged repeatedly and with ‘Intelligent foree, but no action has ever been reached. Committees have expressed themselves as highly pleased with the scheme (which was originated by George Washington), and there are few pub- Iie men who have an adverse comment to make, Yet neither the Senate nor the House bas been afforded opportunity to debate the project.

Here are over three hundred costumes, no tio of which are alike.and none like them are to come. It seems unusual that because of this fact lower prices ins ead of higher vrices are asked.
