As a ad Advertising Medium tt competitor. cin order avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to TH Id not be addressed to any individ connected with the of- imply to THE STAR, or to “Where is the coutinerotal organization elsewhere, the chamber of commerce or the merchants’ exchange or other body of similar character, that ever went out of its way to pass resolutions laudatory of civil service reform or to urge Its extension upon the public authorities. * * *We will say again that the board of trade cannot recommend the proposed extension of rules, either as essential to the reform of the District service or as a trade measure in the interest of ‘local business conditions,” without seriously compromising its dig- nity, without committing a gross impro> priety or without laying itself open to out- side criticism, of which, in and out of Cengress, it and the citizens of Wash- ington, together with it, would not hear the last for years.”—The Washington Post. Last Tuesday evening the greatest com- mercial organization on this hemisphere— the New York Chamber of Commerce— met to celebrate a civil service reform vic- tory such as this country had never known prior to the election-day just gone by; a reform in which the Chamber of Commerce ‘was the prime mover and for which it de- Serves and is receiving merited and un- measured commendation. Of course, ac- cording to the Post, this was an undignified performance throughout—this straighten- ing out of municipal affairs and then re- Joicing at the successful manner in which the difficult and disagreeable duty was done—but it has, nevertheless, received popular endorsement to a superlative de- Bree. There were some deeply *#teresting speeches made on the occasion referred to— which was, by the way, the one hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary of the or- ganization’s corporate existence—and it may be that a word or two dropped then and re- produced now will carry conviction to even the hardest of hearts. Imagine, if imagina- tion can go so far, the horror that would rack The Pust if the president of our board of trade were to say in open meeting, as did President Ors of the New York Chamber of Commerce, that “The paramount menace of the present day to the growth, prosperity and happi- ness of this fair land of ours comes not trom strikes, or social disorder, or financial embarrassment, or tariff complications—bad as they all are in their way—but from a growing tendency to venal and incompetent legislation, both national}, state and munici- pal, which tends to paralyze with its withering touch the moral forces of the na- tion.” Then think o1 the boldness and impropri- ety of that same President Orr in announc- ing that the Chamber of Commerce had “more than once fearlessly assisted in bringing to the bar of public opinion a de- partment of state or municipal government, which, through venal or incompetent ad- ministration, was injuring the commercial interests of the city or state. * * * Again, when further forbearance on your part ceased to ve a virtwe, you were instru- mental in obtaining from the last legisla- ture a committee to investigate some of the departments of this city, and especially that of police, whose administrations were @ menace to all good government, and, therefore, a hindrance to all commercial enterprise. The legislature, at your sug- _ gestion, provided the ways and means for this investigation, but it failed of becoming a@ law, and it was feared the movement Would become a lamentable failure. This, however, was not your intention. True to your traditions of commercial g ianship, you promptly took the place o: e vetoed oriation and provided the necessary Then in reply <o some criticisms in the direct line of those made by the Post he went on to say: “Now, in all these actions, you have been more or jess unjustly criticised, sometimes charged with ulterior motives, and some- times ridiculed—but what of that! Would you not, under similar circumstances, do the very same things again? If, then, from our standpoint of commercial guardianship, we have deemed it our imperative duty to ask for the investigation of departments of civic government whose administrations were immoral, incompetent and bad, is it not also our bounden duty t6 examine into the causes that have produced these evils, and, in our corporate capacity, demand their reform? Is it not true that down in the secret places of all our hearts—that place where conscience is enthroned, and from which, either by our own act or any ether influence, it cannot be evicted—we feel and know that it is political domina- tion in municipal affairs that Hes at the root of all this wrong? And do we not also feel and know that (nothwithstanding the glorious victory of a few days ago) there cannot be any permanent improvement till municipal government is lifted out of the arena of politics and political organiza- tions, and administered solely on business principies? Are you willing, as an asso- ciation, to be debarred from the consider- ation, and if needs be from taking part in the determination of these important ques- tions, so vital to the commercial prosper- ity of this fair city., because it is claimed from a political standpoint, that munictpal government is a combination of political interests, and not, as we believe, an aggre- gation of just and equitable business prin- ciples—that its control is a prize to be con- tended for by political parties—that its ner of trust are the valid spoils of po- tical victories—and that commerce, through its representative associations lo- cated within its jurisdiction, has no rights of suggestion or protest that political par- tisans are in any way bound to respect? While I hope the time will never come when political discussions will be tolerated for a single moment within the walls of this time-honored Chamber, I also hope that we will be true to the obligations of @ur chartered birthright and repudiate all @uch political sophisms.” Proceeding to define non-political matters, Pr¢sident Orr said: “Clean streets, good schools, an efficient Emer force, well-equipped departments of and health, and the hundred and one other things that contribute to the comfort, protection and happiness of the people are not in dny way whatever political ques- tions, but are in every sense of the term items of decent business administration. New York is the commercial metropolis of these United States, and whatever aftec her commercial welfare comes lawfully within the province of our supervision. If she is to maintain that proud position her citizens, and especially this chamber, must be vigilant in promoting and upholding her good name and fair fame, and in times of municipal emergency come fearlessly to the front and demand for her that form of up- right government that has integrity, ca- pacity, independence and patriotism for its cornerstones, and under which every legiti- mate interest, whether it be religious, edu- cational, professional, commercial, without Jet or hindrance of any kind whatever, shall be welcomed, encouraged and pro- tected. Ex-President Charles Stewart Smith aiso Departments, | followed a speech by Mayor-elect Strong, who said; “The Chamber of Commerce was the real cause of the great reform movement started in the city of New York. I believe that the money raised by the members of the Chamber of Commerce to pay the ex- penses of the Lexew committee is the cause of the great outpouring of senti- ment of the city of New York that was determined to establish, if porsible, on the Ist of January a municipal government cn sound principles.” The esteemed Post will see from the above that there is @ great ‘commercial erganization,” a “Chamber of’ Commerce” in a great city, that not only passed reso- lutions laudatory of civil service reform, but that worked most vigorously from the President down, ‘for reform—at the prim- aries, on the stu:np and at the polls—and in the achieving of it gathered to itself great honor without any loss of “dignity.” —_+ + —___ Capt. G. J. Fiebeger, the capable engin- eer officer in charge of the surface depart- ment of the District government, makes several Important recommendations in his annual report, which is printed in The Star today. He calls attention to one shortcoming that should not longer exist, arid that is the financial shortcoming as to the planting and preservation of trees. It seems that in ten years there has been no increase in the appropriation which {6 expended under the supervision of the parking commission, and as a natural con- Sequence the entire sum is insufficient to care for the trees now growing in our streets and avenues, leaving no money available for planting, although several neightorhoods are without the arboreal beauty which is Washington's pride. It is to be hoped that the District Commission- ers will urge upon Congress the propriety, the necessity even, of caring for and adding to the number of the decorative and healthful trees which are so closely associated with and so important a part of the beauties of the national capital. Capt. Fiebeger’s request for legislation au- thorizing the employment of an eminent landscape engineer for the purpose of mak- ing Rock Creek Park the desirable place of rest and recreation it is intended to be, ts also deserving of congressional consider- ation. —_- +++ ____ The District Commissioners did an emi- nently proper thing when they appointed J. B. Brady inspector of buildings to suc- ceed the late Inspector Entwisle. Aside from the fitness which Mr. Brady surely possesses, there is good civil service reform reason for his appointment; he having for many years been Mr. Entwisle’s immediate assistant. Thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the offtce, an architect, and pos- sessed of valuable experience gained in the public service, Inspector Brady has every opportunity for becoming an ideal official. ——-- + e = —____ There were fifty men employed on the city post-office building today. Fifty consclentiously-busy and gapable toilers might, it has been calculafed by a liberal arithmetician, complete the structure by January 2, 1898. Unless the force is greatly increased the building will be unfinished when the twentieth century is well under way. Two years, nine months and two days have elapsed since the work was be- gun. ——_~ e+ —____ Kate Field has been decorated In France with the distinction of the Academic Palm. Miss Field is a shining example of the fact that a woman can get along nicely in this life without wearing bloomers or trying to get on the police force. —-_—_ + +] Ladies who are ambitious to be police- women should not neglect to furnish ample assurance that they will not follow thelr appointment with a request for a special appropriation for chaperones. ————_~ e+ ___ li Hung Chang may yet soothe his wounded pride by coming to this country where the decoration of the chrysanthe- mum ‘is open to everybody. —__+ ++ ___ The fact that Franch, the Spanish an- archist, tried to sing when he was executed lends color to the suggestion that it was a double execution. —__---+ += Mr. Goff,-with his opportunities for com- parison, might be forgiven for not being deeply impressed with the police scandai in this city. ——___ +2 —_ Major McKinley is justified tn feeling some curiosity as to whether “A High Pro- tective Tariff” is to be a slogan or an ep!- taph. os China is considering a very sensible sug- gestion to turn some quick-firing apparatus on the enemy instead of on her generals. ——__+++— Mr. Purroy shows discretion in not wish- ing to lead the destinies of Tammany Hall.
