This is the season in which annual reports are incubated. Statistics are being massed and dissected in the various governmental departments. Ideas ancient and modern are being discussed and shaped so as to Present the most attractive appearance. Everything ts being prepared for the con- gressional eye. This is, therefore, a good time for the District Commissioners to take up and consider the prepositions that have been made looking to the abolition of the contract system in all matters municipal. There is no sufficient reason why the con- tract system should locally continue to exist and there will doubtless be argument almost without end in support of the day labor plan. That the day labor plan will be Jess costly, judged by the actual amount of money expended, is not likely—the odds are that it will require a slight increase of #ppropriations until the new method has been operated long enough to make the machinery move with the least possible friction—but the day labor plan will give us that which cannot be secured by con- tract; {t—administered non-politically—will sive us full value for every dollar that may be spent. As things now are a consider- able sum of money must annually be dis- bursed in salaries tor inspectors whose busi- ness It is to keep the contractors up to the mark, but who, for various reasons, too frequently fail to apply themselves as they ought. Under the day labor plan much of this money could be saved and so, too, would be the many dollars that represent the difference between the actual cost of material and construction and the amount of money now received by the contractors. Only the comparatively few who reap re- ward as the result, often, of selfish shrewd- ness applied to neglected specifications, have anything favorable to say of the con- tract tem. To everyone else it is in- stantly apparent that the people themselves can sweep thetr own streets and collect and dispose of thelr own garbage and build their own buildings much more satisfactor- ily than these same things can be done by contract. If the contract system may be logically applied to municipal endeavor, then there is no reason why the work of the police and fire and health departments might not also be placed in the hands of the lowest bidders. If the District Com- missioners will only do their part in a Proper effort to revolutionize some of the governmental methods in vogue in the District of Columbia they can be sure of the enthusiastic support of practically the entire community. —___+ += Great Britain Cries “Stop!” Moved by the indignation of its people, the British government has notified the sultan of Turkey that Turkish maltreat- ment of Armenians must cease, or at least de modified to such an extent that it shall no longer attract outside attention. The sultan has complied with the British sug- gestion. This ready response indicates that the sultan would probably have put a stop to the murders and outrages in Armenia long ago had he been properly warned. ‘To the humenitarian who takes no note of any of the conditions save those which ap- peal most strongly to his sympathetic na- ture, this British intervention seems to have been long and inexcusably delayed. As a matter of fact the intervention is a display of courage such as Great Britain alone, of all the powers in Europe, would be likely te make. Other nations are bound equally with Great Britain to protect the Armenians from the murderous Turk, but commercial arguments and selfish consid- erations have drowned the cries of the dying and the distressed and, as a conse- quence, anything like concerted action has been impossible. Finding this to be the case, Great Britain has decided to proceed independently without further delay, and in doing so takes many risks. Great Britain's plucky action will doubtless be sufficient to stay the bloody and uplifted band. By the grace of the great governing forces of Europe, the Turkish empire may continue to exist, but it is not probable that the sultan will hereafter be permitted to indulge in the massacre of innocent peo- ple whose principal offending is the hoiding of a religious belief which is at variance with that to which the sultan and his fol- lowers are devoted. ———_++e—____ Serater Tillman, in looking over the causes of his failure to have his own way in South Carolina will recall the fact that dispensary liquor has for a long time been accredited with awe-inspiring capabilities. —_+ +2 —____ Jacksen City has not a great deal of local pride to maintain, but it should at least keep the proceedings of a court of Justice frcm too clcsely resembling a sure thing race at Alexander Island. soe All the time that Mr. Bryan has to spare from speechmaking is occupied in keeping his numerous nominations from getting in one another's way. ———— + —____ Gen. Weyler is almost as indiscriminate in his arrests as a New York policeman. ——_+ = _____ The Sound Money Democrats. ‘The candidates of the national democracy for President and Vice President are to be notified of their nomination tomorrow. The ceremony will take place at Louisville, and the program, as announced, is well calcu- jated to make the occasion one of genuine interest. There will be a flavor of senti- ment as well as of politics about it, for the blue and the gray are to meet in thorough and picturesque union. Not only will the two candidates represent in themselves the opposing sides of the civil war, but the ad- dresses have been arranged so that a south- ern man, Senator Caffery, will notify Gen- eral Palmer, and a northern man—by adop- tion, at least, and speaking’ fot the north— Colonel Fellows, wi!l notify General Buck- ner. Here, then, will be found all the ele- ments appealing ta. men who are putting partisanship and past differerces aside, and acting up to convictions of present pa- triotic duty. Louisville has been well chosen as the Scene for this important function. In the Brst place, it is the home of a very consid- erable and influential sound money senti- ment, and, in the second place, both Gen erals Palmer and Buckner are natives of Kentucky, and in appearing together there as yokemates in a movement of national consequence, will, by reason of that fact alone deserve and receive an exceptionally cordial greeting. Started thus on their stumping toure—for both are to take the stump—cordial receptions will likely be their lot wherever they may go. Both are good speakers, and, exerting themselves, as they will be, without hope of personal re- ward, both may be expected to exhibit their best and strongest qualities. No trim- ming, no evasions; none of the arts which, in a contest largely personal, sometimes impose themselves on the best of men. But able and excellent men as they are, and standing upon principles in every way worthy of them as party leaders and demo- crats, they could not hope to escape attack. Their eminence invites it. For an instance, General Palmer is being reproached with some of his activities as a commander of Union forces in Kentucky thirty years ago, when the situation in all the border states was really much more difficult to deal with than during the era of actual hostilities in the field. Everything was unsettled, every- body discontented and dispirited. Many new problems were presenting themselves for settlement, and the enforcement of law and the preservation of order were more than ever imperative. It was not a safe time for temporizing, and the man in au- thority who hesitated was lost. There would not appear to be much dan- ger of the third ticket losing any votes be- cause of this attack on General Palmer. The bloody shirt is a garment the south long has denounced, and one, therefore, she could not herself afford to wave. This at- tempt to incite her to the act will doubtless fail. The war is over, and probably no more convincing evidence of the fact has ever been presented than appears in this Joining of hands by ex-confederates of the south and ex-federals of the north, each side marshaling under one of their old com- manders, for the preservation of the na- tlonal credit and the advancement of the interests of all sections alike. The Entertainment of Li. It is no discourtesy to Li Hung Chang to calculate, after his departure, the cost of his entertainment by this government. It doubtless {mpressed many people as in- congruous and undemocratic to draw on the public funds of a nation like this for the entertainment of a guest who repre- sents a country which has so few ideas in common with this. But China ig a coun- try of great future tmportance in connec- tion with America’s commercial relation- ship. The tour of Li Hung Chang is a convincing evidence of the awakening to modern ideas which is going on in China. That country will have concessions of great mercantile consequence to make, und it would be unfortunate for the promoters of American commerce, should the viceroy, after being so sumptuously entertained in Europe, carry away an unfavorable im- pression of our country’s resources or its hospitality. : ————~-+2 Accor¢cing to the authorities, there were only one hundred and twenty-tive men em- ployed today on the new city post-office building. ———~+-___ When it ccmes to suppressed campaign enthusiasm, Mr. Manley may be considered the most noteworthy politician of the coun- try. ——~+2____ Mr. Corbett and Mr. Fitzsimmons have decided to renew the old contest as to which is the better rhetorician.

The phrase was on his mind to stay. When he proposed she heard him say, “Oh, youthful treasure, wilt thou be A ‘sweet-sixteen’ to one like me?” An Eye to Busineas. “I was directed to you as the leading huckster of this county,” seid Mr. Storm- ington Barnes. “That's what I am,” was the reply. “An’ by watching the corners closely I have built up a business in eggs and vegetables that I'm proud of. “Of course. There are varieties of great- ress. Just as I am @ great actor you are a great huckster. I wish to offer you an opportunity for an investment that is right im your line.” *Tain’t in a show ticket, then.” ‘Of course not. I want to know how much you will pay me for the sweeping-up Priviliges after my performance tomorrow night.” Her Suggestion. “Josiar,” said Mrs. Corntossel, “it's com- in* along purty near ‘lection time.” “So it ts.” “I s'pose they’ll be a lot o° fool wagers made.” “There usvally is.” “Well, {f you git drawed into any of ‘em, I hepe you'll let me make a suggestion. Me and Jabez Stackins’ wife hez been a-talkin’ it over, an’ ez long ex ye're of opresite political hellefs, we thought ye might come together.” “Ye don’t want me to resk my money agin Jabez’s, do ye?” “No. It's wrong ter bet money. But we therght thet, instid o' havin’ one man wheel the other ‘round the country in a wheelbarrow, er vowin' not to shave off his whiskers, you an’ Jabez could agree that the loser should carry in two armfulls of wood every day all winter. It seems ter me thet a ‘lection bet of that kind ‘ud be real interestin’ an’ humorous.” Misanthropic Finance. They are words that have rung since the dawning of time, “Silver and gold; silver and gold!” ‘We have had them in prose and we've had them in rhyme. From the pomp of the court to the savage’s clime, Sound the ring of the dollar, the chink of the dime, Everywhere “Silver and gold.” Thke poet will delve and the mummer will mock For silver and gold, silver and gold; ‘The sage from his wisdom will add to yeur stock; The warrior foundations of empire will reck, All are measured at last by their power to unlock The store house of silver and gold.
