The people of this community may prop- erly cong-atulete themselves upon the well-advanced plans for reform that are now receiving the close personal attention of citizens who have seen the evil of such promiscuous dispensing of charity as has been common In the District of Columbia in times past. With the arrival of every winter have come revelations of povefty that invariably called for liberal contribu- tions of money, of food, and of clothing, and until the severe weather was at an end there has been continual agitation in order that human beirgs—sometimes wor- thy and sometimes unworthy—should not suffer because they lacked what was essen- tial to existence. It was a hap-hazard sort of proceeding at best, and in the struggle which has been an annual feature of life ia Washington many deserving people have been crowded out by the persistent unde- serving who were heard because their vo- feration knew no end so long as there was bounty to be distributed. A number of public-spirited citizens have resolved to do all in their power to prevent local repeti- tion of the so-called relief efforts which, while praiseworthy because the motives were of the best, were entirely out of har- mony with that true philanthropy which refuses to encourage idleness and will not promote pauperism. Because of this city’s openhanded benevolence there have periodi- cally come to the District of Columbia con- siderablo numbers of comparatively worth- less people who, receiving no encourage- ment elsewhere, naturally drifted here to be subsisted upor supplies contributed for the reiief of those whose necessity resulted from misfortune. The plans approved and about to be put in operation will effectually discourage professional idlers and will at the same time preserve the self-respect of those who are unwillingly in need of ma- terial assistance. The able-bodied will be given opportunities to labor and to lay up for themselves and those dependent on them at least encugh of food to render anything approaching starvation impossi- ble. Hitherte the big-hearted people of Washington have by their manner of giv- ing virtually encouraged the migration hither of the lazy and the vicious; here- after there will be no welcome for such extremely undesirable accessions to the District's population. — + +e __—_ Isn’t It about time for the American peo- ple to protest against scientists and lay observers from other countries character- izing the people of these shores as being nationally nervous? It is undoubtedly true that in the building up of a country, in the creation, as it were, of a great community and the spreading of enormous interests over an equally enormous territory, some Americans have falien into habits of quick thought and action that, being wholly sur- face conditions, are apt to give foreign observers @ wrong impression of the gen- eral condition of things here. It is to be suspected that these characterizations have in a measure pleased and perhaps tickled the egotism of the American people them- selves, who maybe have felt honored by being so distinguished from the rest of the world. It is barely possible that Americans have a hankering after being called ner- yous, busy and excessivély active, just as some children delight in being classed as ievous and irresponsible. It is a questionable sort of distinction to be sure, but it seems to be the vogue, ard as long as there is demand on the part of the re ing public for such characterizations, sci tists and lay observ tinue to supply n- will doubtless con- it with observations and essays in which the terrible tension on the American nerves is vividly pictured. Now, as a matter of fact, {t is seriously to be doubted whether the striking of an average of all classes and conditions of people en this continent would not produce a resu far different from that which ‘s popularly accepted, and which is the theme of so many frightening utterances by learned men, who are gtavely warning the Ameri- can people that they are living at too fast @ pace and that they are threatened with @ national disease. It may be superficially pleasant to some minds to be so warned just as it would be gratifying,” perhaps, to certain people to be spoken of as belonging to a nation of fighters or a nation of stu- dents, etc. It may be racial pride that contributes to this effect, but it is a curious phenomena, whatever the cause. Now it has long been established that nervous imagination is one of the most potent fac- tors in producing disease, and conetitutions are often shattered by the bare suggestion of infection or of primarily harmless ail- ments. So it is not beyond the range of possibility that this constant hammering away at the notion of the national nervous- ness of Americans may put the people !nto such modes of thought that in the course of a few decades what fs sow true of prob- ably only a few cla y become true of the entire nation, by virtue of a sort of reflex action. ———— eo overed that a Lord Sholto Douglas disc music hall lady was using his devotion to her as an advertisement, and re- nounced her. He is not d young man who makes an tensions to brilliancy, but his perce in th © have been rather more p than those of otner members of the Britis aristocracy who have been imposed upon in the same way. —__ ++ There have undoubtedly been some very corrupt ways and means invoked in Phila- delphia by the politicians who have secured control of that city’s affairs during the past few years, and most of the complaints of the citizens alleging extravag: misrule are well founded. cry being raised now that, while it may be inspired by a genuine desire for relief, is of questionable force when certain facts are taken into consideration. One of the Ptiladelphia papers recently printed a start- ling story showing by figures that the salaries of the city officials had grown by millions of dollars during the past ten years. This fact of itself might serve to startle and even horrify the honest tax- payer, who is forgetful of the fact that the clty of today ts tremendously greater than that of a decade ago, and that with the enlargement of the eliy’s bounds and popu- e duties and responsibilities of the in charge have grown. It is a fact municipal salary is small ith the tasks that are imposed office-holders. There are sine- nee and But there is a y municip: as in every system of ninistration and indeed in many corporatio But the number and easy places are being di- t growth of the new tended to keep the public -informed and alert in respect to these matters, and few oflicials with large sala- ries and little to do can hope to enjoy their “soft” places very long undisturbed by Public clamor. To x for a moment at the specific eh © made in Philadelphia—which insinu- ates, of course, that there has been a “sal- ary grab’—it seems that the net increase in the salaries of the public officials since IsS6 has been $4,475,125. Of this amount nearly one million is the item of salaries of officials in the gas department, which, prior to 1886, was a private concern. This de- duces the general increase by a million and makes the showing less startling. Again, one of the large increases is in the matter ef expenses of the public schools, the ad- ditions amounting to $958,626. There is no department of a city’s government that ean so economically be expanded as that which relates to the education of the chil- dren, and if this million of dollars more is properly bestowed the investment will in the near future be extremely profitable. Scme, perhaps many, of the other Increases ean also be reasonably accounted for, for the city has -grown much in the past ten years, yet there remain quite two millions of an increase that, in view of Philadel- phia’s decidedly malodorous municipal re- pute, may be looked upon with suspicion. In the absence, however, of specific accu- sations alleging fraud, it may rationally be suggested that Philadelphia is doing what many short-sighted communites have failed to do, namely: is paying out a sufficient sum for salaries to secure employes who are worth all the money they get. As a general proposition the salary list of a large municipality can safely be regarded as a sure index of the city’s prosperity. —+ ee An actors’ protective association is one of the probabilities not so very far distant, for there is evidence abroad that leading theatrical managers are preparing to com- bine for the purpose of bringing about rad- ical reduction in the financial recompense for which actors, in common with other people, so vigorously strive. One of the leading managers In New York, discussing this matter, says: “We have a good deal of complaint about ats at m2 the price for class theater: object to payin sn orchestra chair, and record a mental protest every time they do so, and they are perfectly right. lt is too much money to pay for an even- ing’s entertainment, especially just now when all kinds of business are depressed. But they make a great mistake in casting the blame on the managers. As a mat- ter of fact, a first-class performance can- not be given in our best theaters with the present scale of actors’ salaries unless this price is paid for the choice seats. The general public has no idea of the exorbitant wages paid to some of their favorite ac- tors. They are far in excess of all reason when the amount of work rendered for the money is considered, and they have reached this point simply because managers, in- | stead of combining and acting together for thelr own interests and that of the public, have engaged in a cut-throat game of competition for certain men and women, of the stage.” That the actors who are of the first and second or even the third class will tamely submit to any considerable slashing of their salaries is not at all likely; the odds are largely in favor of a fight in which the public will be deeply interested. Or- ganization, however, will be extremely diffi- cult, for actors of all degrees are more frequently rivals than associates and throughout the profession there is a not entirely unnatural feeling of Individual superiority that will, so long as it is openly apparent, be an obstacle to mutual unio The managers will have no such difficulty ] to deal with and it is understood that al- ready have combinations been made that may soon result in the presentation of a solidly-economical front by the employing class. An inflexible salary-seale would be absurd, but it is announced upon good authority that a maximum rate will be es- tablished for each line of business and that when the scale becomes operative the- ater-goers will at once receive substantial benefits. Says the same New York man- ager just quoted: “When salaries are brought down to a reasonable figure managers can afford to place the price of seats in the theater at such a rate that a man of moderate income can afford to treat his family to a night at the theater without impoverishing him- self. The reduction has got to come, and the sooner it comes the sooner theatrical business will improve and the actor will find himself the one most benefited, for a few such seasons as the last two will leave the majority of players without an occupation. ‘That sounds like sensible talk, but what will the actors say? —_ + +___ There is perhaps a slight element of sat- isfaction in noting that the recent Lou! ville sensation was concluded in Kentucky instead of being imported for a protracted exhibition in Washington. —___ ++ ‘The Gettysburg trolley has the assurance of its kind when it bids patriotic sentiment clear the track, as it practically does in insisting on ground desired for the Na- tional Military Park. ——___ ++» ____ With McGregor Depew and McGregor Eckels both at the monetary banquet in Detroit it must have been rather hard to determine conclusively just which was the head of the table. —__ + «+ _____ One hundred and seventeen men were em- ployed upon the City Post-oflice building teday.
