Two items of news in yesterday's Star, read together, tell an interesting tale. The Commissioners, wearying of their long struggle to foree-Contractor Cabell to build the Stevens School in a proper manner, de- cided to suspend him from the work and to notify his bondsmen to complete the struc- ture. They also received reports of the first expesimenc at street sweeping by hand, and learned that the work can thus be better done than under the contract system at a slightly increased price. No stronger arguments against a continuance of the plan of doing the munictpal work by con- tract could be desired. The case of the Stevens School.is not a marked exception, although the experience of the Commis- Bioners in this instance bas been unusually unpleasant. ‘The law binds them to an ac- ceptance of the lowest bid submitted, irre- spective of its-merit, the only escape from this being a re-advertisement that involves the chance of encountering the same situa- tion again. The records of the District buildings are filled with the names of de- faulting contractors and of others who have done notoriousiy bad work, yet there is no statute or regulation to prevent them from continuing to engage in these opera- tions. A law enlarging the discretionary powers of the Commissioners in the matter of accepting bids would materially better the situation, but there will always be this sort of trouble until Congress grants the ‘ommissioners the desired permission to do municipal works of all kinds by day's labor. In the matter of street sweeping, this seme remedy has often been suggested, and and its repetition now receives a timely force from the discovery that the hand work by men hired directly by the District zosts only a small fraction more than the same work done by contract. No doubt 2xists_as to the superiority of the results ained in the experiment. It is likely that the difference in cost could be wiped out _and perhaps a balance established on the other side if the District were to un- dertake the street sweeping on a large scale, for it is the common experience that initial experiments cost more than subse- quent work along the same lines. Yet even at the increased rate the net results are gratifying, for what the citizens want first of all is cleanliness. Washington deserves cleaner streets than it néw enjoys, and there is no stint of money for this purpose. Somehow or other the contract system has always left much to be desired, and armed Withihe records of the first experiment, which should be easy of verification in sub- Bequent trials, the Commissioners ought to have Httle trouble in persuading Congress ext winter to enact legislation greatly en- larging their powers in this particular. ———— Separating the Siamese Twins. ‘The price of wheat hes been and is going up, while the price of silver has been and seing down, in spite of the mysterious alleged affinity between silver and wheat, and in spite of Chairman Jones's assurances of the election of a Presi- who promises to double immediately the price of stiver over all the world. ‘Those Who have found in the coincidence of a multaneous depression in the price of jiver and wheat a powerful argument for the independent free and unlimited coinage ilver at 16 to 1 will doubiless be con- ed by a present application of the ap- proved stlverite method of reasoning upon coincidences that former comrades silver ahd-wheAt have now quarreled and parted ¥, that in proportion as one pros- pers the other must suffer, and that the most damaging of all blows to wheat would be aa election arfd legisiation which, it is promised, will double the world-price of siiver. If There is anything at all in coinci- @enceS,“Stiver and wheat, formerly together, are..now-at opposite ends of the prices’ .W, and as one goes up the other goes Of course as a matter of fact no logical deduction is to be derived from either set of ceircidences. Silver and wheat have not been Siamese twins, bound together in leving harmony, and they are not now cut apart,.and deadiy enemies. There are neither affinities nor anupathies between silver and wheat, any more than there are between silver and corn, whose prices have moved in opposite directions since 1873, or between wheat and ruiroad ties, whose =ptices have been moving in the same direc- tion. Each commodity pursues its inde- pendent course in the markets of tne world, the ups. and downs of the price of each being determined by conditions of produc- tion’ pecfliar to its perticular case, under the general laws of supply and demand. +e Don't bet on the presidential election!

Boyn- ton, which appeared in yesterday's Star, is an important contribution to the political intelligence of the day. It covers the case in the territory for which both sides are now so spiritedly contending, and covers it in a way most assuring to the friends of sound money. It is welcome news, and as Teliable as welcome. General Boynton ex- plains that the trip on which his observ: tions were made was not undertaken in dis- eharge of any newspaper duty. At the same time, it must be considered that ke saw with the eyes and investigaced with the keen intelligence of a trained journaiist, and what he, submits therefore has the au- thority of training and wide experience stamped upon‘tt. The sympathies of Grand Army men aro of consequence in this fight, and especially in the states visitéd by General Boynton. Those states contributed hundreds of thou- sands of men to the Union armies. The flower of the population responded to Mr. Lincoln's call for troops, and ever since the war the survivors have kept up the spirit of comradeship that was kindled in the field. The Grand Army posts are numerous and well filled, and Gefieral Boynton found that the members,, almost to a man, wero in favor of sound money. These veterans are men of standing~at home. They are in closest touch with the best intelligence and influence of their localities, and hence very Jmany more than thetr own votes are :o be “Counted from their expressions of loyalty to the credit of the government. They are, as a rule, as good missionaries as patriots, and.may be expected to.make thetr_inflt- ence felt among their neighbors in a cam- paign where politics yields again to love of country. The manufacturers “ny those ‘states svere_ found taking the same xjew of the ques- tions at issue that the manufaciurers in the: east were taking. There is no difference whatever between the Ohlo point. of view and the Connecticut point of view. bemo- cratic manofacturers inthe one stete as in the other—men who have never voied a re- publican ticket—announce their intention of voting for Mr. McKinley. They are con- sidering their own and the common welfare. So great a menace to the Country as Is con- tained in the Chicago platform alarms them, and they are gorng to help vote that platform down. . General Boynton talked with the wage- earners as well as with the manuf.ctufers, and the railroad conductor whom he quates had s®mething of interest, to say. He not only showed conclusively that he thoroigh- ly understood the wage-earner’s interest, in this campaign, but he threw the most posi- tive discredit on the story, which Mr. Bryan himself has not been above accepting. snd encouraging, that mapy,pf the wage-earners while pretending to be in favor of sound money are preparing to vote-for. free silyer. This, in reality, is a.gross affront to organ- ized labor, and it shorld be, and probably will be, resented at the polis.. Labor's stake is the greatest of all in this contest, and there are numerous instances going tp show that labor is coming’ to. understand this quite as well as anybody else. It is entirely fair to assume’that the con- ditions observed and described by General Boynton are not confined to the states he visited, but may be found in degrees more or less promising to sound money succ2ss in surrounding states. Grand Army men are numerous throughout the whole of the country beyond the Allegnenies, and wher- ever found they are of value in a good cause. And those who are active in support of the credit of the government are adding to laurels they already worthily wear. > e-____—_ The agreement by southern republics to have one representative in this city has not yet elicited any protests from diplomatic employes against the manner in which they are made the victims of a combine. ——> + —_—_—_ So long as some of the Bryan men have claimed Pennsylvania, it would be only fair for the McKinley management to claim not only Alabama, but one or two other Gulf states. é ——__+- +___ Perhaps the sultan would not be so des- perately wicked if he could be spared his annual complications-with the Thanksgiv- ing joke. x ————___0- +e _____— There are ‘signs: cf increased activity at the city post-office building today, forty-two men being engaged at work—yet only forty- two. ———_+ + + ____ Bryan’s election would place before the public the most celeritous case of “grow- ing up witb, the country’’ on record. + += —__ When Sectetary “Morton talks politics, he does not use nearly as long words as he does in his agricultural reports. ——____« + —___ SHOOTING STARS.

Gentle Lrony. “How much better it fs’ remarked Mr. Laizalong, “to own a house than to rent one. “I suppose it’s better in some ways,” his wife answered... “Why, ‘there isn’t the slightest doubt of it. Whenever Your house gets out of re- pair you dont have to go down on your knees to get the landlord to fix it.” “I suppose there is a good deal of com- fort in that. If you own the house your- seit you don’t feel that there's anybody else responsible, and you can ‘go ahead and let things get out of repair and stay that way as long as you feel like it and never worry a bit. Giving Him « Good Time. “Blykins tan’t going to have anything to do tomorrow,” waid the man who worries. “Are you going to arrange to help him enjoy himself?” asked his wife. “Yes. Biykins is a good fellow, though he isn’t always considerate. I’ll-be so much busier than usual tomorrow that I won't know which way t6 turn, and I'll let him come and talk to.me.by the hour. I hon- estiy believe, by what ¥ know of Blykins, that he'll get ‘more’ pleasure out of that than anything else that could happen.” An Unfortunate: Suggestion.
