When one political party displaces another in control of the American government the tend- ency of the newcomer to teardown what its predecessor has built up and to diseredit what ite predecessor bas proposed is perhaps natu- ral. The stronger the showing of blunders ot Worse committed by the late administration and corrected by the new administration, the more forcible and impressive will be the Intter’s campaign book, and the better its chances of continuance in power. So it happens that upon every such change of administration the new broom, which is alleged to sweep clean, is pushed into every corner of Uncle Sam’s official mansion. The Previous methods of housekeeping are rigidly furestignted, the old servants ure overbauled, eros-examined, bully ragged, a premium is pat not only upon truthful evidence of abuses, bat upon spiteful and slanderous tale bearing. ‘The new housekeeper holds up her bands in| holy horror at the discovery of petty irregu- larities, which existed nevertheless when she had charge herself before, and which will be in existence when she vacates the premises, with the result of throwing her successor into similar of surprise and indignation. This investigating, disparaging tendency on the part of the newcomer, when applied to methods of domestic administration, works in a general way for the public welfare. Many individuals suffer cruel injastice, many time- serving sneaks and slanderers reap unjust re- wards for spiteful lying, but there is un- doubtedly during and for a period subsequent to this season of suspicious scrutiny more work and better work performed by the public servants. Not only does the new government dispar- age and reverse its predecessor's administra tive methods, but it is too apt, when once in the way of undoing whatever has been done. to dis- eredit and overthrow the previous national Policies, whether at issue between the parties fn the election or not, and waetber domestic or foreign in their nature. This excess of jealons destructiveness, especi- ally when foreign affairs are in question, is capable of working great national in- jury. If the republic's poliey in hand- ling some question between it and another nation bas been made an ise in the campaign preceding the election the course of the suc- cessful party is marked out for it in advance. But in all other cases it is highly desirable that ‘the republic's foreign policy shall exbibit | certain stability, and that a pomtion once de- | cisively assumed by our government toward a foreign power shall be maintained in the most businesslike shape, would consist of a suf- ficiently commodious structure in which clothes might be washed and ironed and bodies refreshed. Such projects have gone far be- yond the experimental stage in other lands and wherever they have been established the re- sults were extremely gratifying to all parties. Little homes that bad always been redo- lent of overworked suds were purified while thousands of men and women who had lived for years on terms of listlessness, if not of enmity, with soap and warm water, enjoyed the luxury of frequent baths, In most in- stances a small charge was made—barely enough to cover operating expenses—but the sum was individually so small that no one could object. Public wash houses for the poor—institutions that shall be ‘open from daylight until after dark, so as to afford even the careless no non-patronizing excuse—would not only wipe out many anti- wwgienic and ever threatening nuisances that now exist within the city limits but would re- sult ina certain moral elevation. What has been done elsewhere is possible in the District of Columbia. Suppose we try the experiment on Square 545. This investigation emphasizes the conviction that the extension of the water and sewerage systems of the city to squares and sections now unsupplied is @ matter not merely of sectional but of general public necessity. The sanitary fortifications of the city are no stronger than their weakest spot. The investigation shows also that eagerness to learn in respect to sani- tary matters and the desire to improve unsavi- tary conditions are not confined to any limited Portion of the city or to any particular class of citizens. The educational campaign, conducted by the Sanitary League and fostered by TuE Star's publications, is working beneficent re- sults in every part of Washington. The people generally are making of themselves vigilant in- spectors of their own premises and surround- ings, and intelligent sanitary self-reformers, ——_ ee Emerson's laconic trath—“Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass"—is aptly illus- trated by the locating of John W. Hillman who, fourteen years ago, murdered Frederick A. Walters and then tied with the hope that flight might save his neck from the hempen noose. ‘The murder was committed for the purpose of securing some twenty-five thousand dollars of insurance, but the plot failed and #0 | throughout the period indicated Hillman bas | wandered through the wildest portions of the remote southwest imagining probably that identity was there unknown and yet always fearful of detection. No matter how coarse his mental grain be has suffered a thousandfold more than did bis victim and althongh legal punishment is by no means a pleasing certainty there must be relief even in prison for the guilty being who has devoted every energy for Years in dodging law-abiding people. ee After careful examination of the many models presented and impartial hearing of such argument as was made the United States army through its recognized head has declared in favor of the Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifle, absence of overwhelming reasons for the oppo- Bite course. To reverse a foreign policy on no | other grou.d (when the facts ae sifted) than | ‘that it originated with an administration cov- | trolled by the opposing political party is to | cause the republic unnecessarily to present a | gagged, uneven and uncertain front to its | neighbors, and to weaken and lower its inter-| national influence and standing. ‘The political parties of the other great powers, however much they may quarrel among them- selves, stand together as a rule in dealing for their nation with a foreign government. The republic, and not a party, promises, represents, announces, s0 far as a foreign power is con- eerned. and asa rule no mere change of public servants should result in a breaking of national Promises and representations. ‘The original policy of any American party in Gealing with a question of foreign relations is apt to be vigorously American, and most of the un-American positions which our government Des assumed have seemed to result from a prac- tical application of the belief that no good thing whatsoever could come from a political advermary,and that it is necessary for a new administration to demolish completely the structure erected by its predecessor and to ‘uild a novel and original one of its own. The present administration will act wisely if St refrains from withdrawing and discrediting ‘whatever the republic has said or promised and from undoing whatever the republic bas done 4m reference to Hawaii, Bering sea, Canada, Sonth America, &c., &c., merely because the ‘United States then spoke and acted through ‘Harrison and Biaine, and now speaks and acts | ‘through Cleveland and Gresham. ——__+ + + __. New York and Brooklyn have, in an unnat- rally quiet way, been celebrating the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. There was no parade nor was there | any music, but the great structure was deco- | rated in places with bunting and al! intelligent people who sawit knew why. It seems strange ‘that Washington should wait for New York to point out the way, but must not interpose to spoil the effect of a good example. Fighty-four years ago that triumph of engineering art—Long bridge—was thrown ‘open to the public, and yet inali these four-score and four years no one has suggested that the anniversary of its completion be publicly and jabilantly remembered. In view of this lengthy period of silence and neglect, and also bearing in mind the probability that ‘the city which has been again and again flooded Decamse of the bridge's efficiency as » dam might be somewhat lukewarm as to subscrip- tions and enthusiasm, Taz Stam would respect- fally suggest to the Pennsylvania Railroad ‘Company and its side partner—Jackson City— ‘that they, as the only beneficiaries, arrange and pay for such jubilative, commemorative ocea- sion as is now long time overdue. a Folks who are inclined to growl because the “Virginia strawberry crop is short can console themselves with the compensatory fact that ‘the supply of potatoes and cabbage will be phe- momenal ————_+ > ___ It is expected that England will next deciare ‘that countries desiring to own seals will have to buy tags for them. —__ + +=___ ‘ With a well-defined belief as to the moral effects of cleanliness Tux Stas once more calls attention to a weakness which may undermine the hygienic walls we have been at so. much pains to erect and from behind which we ope to defy cholera and other epidemics that are fostered by dirt. In order to point its suggestions Tux Stan has closely investigated a sample square that is no worse than any one of several similar subdivisions of the city, which suffer the same lack of cer- tain sanitary facilities that is to be noted. The section inspected is bounded by Third and Four and « balf and M and N streets south- west and within its limits about seven hundred and fifty human beings have what they call their home. Of these tenants nearly one-half are white, = fact that only makes more horrible the fact that there is but one water hydrant and one sewer connection in all the square. and those exceptions belong Rot to # dwelling-house but to a recently erected stable. The stagnation, the filth, the Stench may not be described. During the year ending June 30, 1891, there were twenty-seven deaths in that square—eleven of the deceased being white and sixteen negroes—but that ex- local pride | and if Secretary Lamont concurs in the unanimous recommendation of the authori- ties the manufacture of the new arm will soon be commenced at Springfield Armory. It is something of a blow to our national pride to be compelled to confess inventive inferiority, but no one can doubt that the foreign gun is better than any of the American arms which were sub- mitted in competition. This unaccountable diserepancy—for our inventive genius is fur ahead of that possessed by all other nations— will soon be wiped out, but for a year or so the United States »rmy and a large proportion of our National Guard will shoot with what, though a foreign product, is now believed to be the highest type of modern rifle. ——__— 66 Improved in every way and worthy of more philanthropic interest than has yet been be- stowed upon it, the free bathing beach will be thrown open on Monday for the season of 1893, This will be gled news for the small boy, who must go in swimming, and who, if there is no place provided. will violate the law and risk his life. As at present arranged the beach is the safest bathing beach on the Poto- mac, and with intelligent supervision and con- trol ought to be immensely popular. Mr. Stevens and those who have assisted him in maintaining the beach are deserving of hearty thanks for their persistent courage in behalf of cleanliness, and efficiency inan art with which every man and woman should be on terms of intimacy. +e ‘The death of Emin Pasha is again reported, but the public will probably refrain from going into immediate mourning, greatly as his loss would be regretted. No sooner does a traveler get beyond the reach of civilized com- munication than the story of his death, told often with minute circumstance, is ulated. Such stories are probably the result of a desire on the part of natives to boast of their achievements and of a certain instinctive ten- dency to get as far as possible from truth in conversing with white men. Past experience has demonstrated that it usually takes a great many of such rumors to make a bona fide funeral —___ +++ ____ It is now alleged that New York was deprived of the pleasure of seeing the Princess Eulalie dance for noother reason than that Mayor Gilroy isnotskilled in that gracefal pastime. This in- cident may result in the introduction of a new element in New York polities, and create a de- cided boom in the business of dancing masters. ee A Mexican official connected with the stamp department of that country has absconded with $50,000.

The extent of Mr. Theodore Thomas’ lack of | patriotism may be gathered from the fact that THE WEEK. World's fair matters are still attracting con- siderable attention, and the argument con- tinues as to whether the exposition should or should not be opened on Sunday. The national commission has agreed to let the local direc- torate do as it pleases in this matter, but Attor- ney General Olney and District Attorney Mil- christ will endeavor to prevent any effort on the part of the management to open the gates. Nearly ali the inent European national exhibits at the exposition have been withdrawn from competition, the commissioners of the various countries being dissatisfied with the lack of method in 1g the awards. The unregistered Chinese are still here, no one hav- ing yot suggested a fracticable plan for their deportation until Congress can meet and appropriate the n amount; in all, 5,413 have regist in forty-four out of sixty internal revenue districts. Another mat- ter in which the diplomatic corps is interested is information to the effect that a Siamese lega- tion will be established in the United States. The meteorological peculiarities of the week consist of heavy snow storms in Michigan and ‘a wind etorm in the west, where the velocity ex- ceeded eighty-four miles an hour, and great was done. Many of the smaller banks whose officers have been engaged in ulation have gone under, and one bank, t in which ex-Seeretary of the Treasu Charles Foster was principally interested, has also succumbed to the pressure. The crime record is not large. One or two train robberies anda lynching in Georgia and another in Michigan being the principal features. People interested in the new navy have beenextremely gratified by the performance of the United States cruiser New York, which, on her official trial trip, made a speed ‘exceeding twenty-one knots and earned for her builders, the Cramy of Philadelphia, a speed bonus of $200,000. In the newspaper world the feature is the sus- pension of the Salem (Mass.) Register, which was established in 1800 and has been published semi-weekly ever since, BEYOND THE EAs. European affairs have been very quiet during the past few days. In Germany the centriste have issued an electoral, taking strong grounds — the army bill, but some of the com- plications which have made themselvesappareut would indicate » possibility of the passage by the new reichstag of such a measure as might = be satisfactory to the emperor. In ‘rance the most interesting happening 1s largely an American affair, for the Bering sea arbitration court is still engaged in listening to Charles Russell, one of England's counsel. In the British house of commons the homo rule bill is moving slowly, but Gladstone has an- nounced that he e: te the bill to be through the house by the middle of July. Two hundred thousand people interested in affairs held ‘© great national league demonstration in Hyde Park and added the weight of their voices and Purses to the movement which the premier is now champion of. The manufacturing and laboring outiook in England is not too bright, for the Tron and Steel institute reports decided depression in iron and sttel industries while at Hall the union dock laborers have returned to work and are engaged in getting a living ide by side with the men who made the strike a failure by going in in place of the strikers, ‘These untoward conditions seem, how- ever to have had no effect upon the celebration of the queen's _ birthday, which was as enthusiastic as ever. More nilil- istic plots have been discovered in Russia, but otherwise the great empire of the ezar has not been divturbed. The health of Ezrope has been fairly good, the exceptions being an demic of smalipoxin Gothenburg and virul influenza in the duchy of Baden. The Italian cabinet has been reconstructed, with Signor Giolotti ax president of the council, and ftaly has decided to raise its ministry here to the rank of embassy. Revoiutionists in Nicaragua still seem to have the best of the argument and e fight. In Japan there is troable with Amer- ican missionaries, due to the hostility of the Japanese. IX THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. There have been two events in the local field which have been of overtopping importance. These have been the meeting of the Presbyte- rian general assembly and the entertainment and departure of the Princess Eulalie, In the assembly the ense of Dr. Briggs, charged with heresy, has occupied nearly all ‘the week, al- though at odd moments delegates have found time to discuss several other things of im- tance. The Princess Eulalie, infanta of pain, ber husband, anda large suite have been entertained in the city during the week with characteristic Washington hospitality. Among the other events of importance which must be charged to the week are further developments in both the weather bureau and the patent office scandala, In the former Assistant At- torney General Colby, who eonducted the investigation, has filed his report and Prof. Harrington has appealed to. the President. Pleadings have been filed on both sides in regard to the charges against ex-Com- missioner of Patents Simonds. Another event has been the beginning of the appeal case of the liquor men ia the Court of Appeals. | The drowning of Mrs. Maggie Wilson and the death of Mr. G. F. Dawson have been among the sad events. ——_+++— SHOOTING STARS. “Go to the ant,thou sluggard— Consider her ways and be wise.” But the sluggards all ery, “No fun dowe spy In expiring in pic-nic pies.” “Do your neighbors keep chickens?” asked the visitor. “No,"replied the disconsolate man who owns agarden: “they just feed ‘em and keep the eggs.

The course of true love was going smoothly enough with him until the man with the white flannel suit appeared. Then his life became scarcely bearable.
