President — see The Comedy Closes. lon comedy, with Mr. Bayard as its central figure, ends with Mr. Bayard ing the Christmas gift. nt in this small matter is te be commended. But with the comedy side dis- posed of—with the English curtain de- scending amid plaudits and good cheer— the seriou: € of the matter appears, and sooner or later this will be borne in upon Mr. Bayard and his admirers here at home. The fact is that, to a very large extent— at any rate, since he became a sort of in- ternational episode—the measure of English appreciation ef Mr. Bayard has corre- sponded exactly with that of American disapproval of him. He has risen in the scale there as he has fallen in the scale here. He was a welcome guest in England, of course, before he set up for Ambassa- dorial spcllbinder. He would be a welcome man simply as suest anywhere. He has dignity, and address, and a fine figure. He went to England to shine, and the repre- sentative circles promptly teok him up. But it cannot be denied that he has grown to his present consequence there because of the rebuke he received here at home. The English sympathies were touched. Mr. Bayard himself had proclaimed that the American people were headstrong and sometimes violent, and the English, seeing him under American fire, took him protect- ingly to their capacidus bosoms. It looked to them like the humane and hospitabie thing to do toward one whom they knew only as a neat payer of compliments and a suave diner-out. _ Behold, now, the evolution, so to speak, of this feeling. Mr. Bayard's term of office is drawing to a close. He must soon return to the people he has offended, and by whom by formal vote of the lower house of Con- gress he has been reproved. His English friends desire to make up to him as far as possible for what he has lost in reputation at home. Their attentions multiply and take new forms. They would show unusual friendship for one who-has shown unusual friendship for them. It is not unlike dec- crating a battle-scarred veteran of the guards. Mr. Bayard has suffered for Eng- land, and England would decorate him: Hence the subscription, now withdrawn, for a Christmas gift—not a happy form of expression in the circumstances, but show- ing the bent of the ‘English mtnd in certain quarters. Well, in the homely phrase of the day, it won't work. English dccorations count for nothing in America when they are intended to count against Ameri The mutual ad- miration society established by Mr. Bayard and his English friends will flourish only en English soil, where it Is welcome to flourish. The judgment of Congress will stand, so far as this country is concerned. see The Smoke Nuisance. The Commissioners call attention once mere in their annual report to the smoke isance that has given rise to many com- ing the past few years. Their ef action should — be adopted by the District committees, for there ere at present no engineering ubsta- cles in the way of such a practically per- fect furnace construction and management as will cure the evil. The trouble dees not, according to the best authorities, le pri- marily with the use of soft coal, but with the ferm ef furnace and chimney and with the lack of intelligent supervision. A de- ton on the.part of local officials— backed by adeqvate authority—to remedy the evil is usually sufficient, and there is every reason to believe that the local skies would soon be cleared of their disfiguring banners of black smoke if Congress were to pass an act granting the Commissioners power to formulate regulations prohibiting such use and management of furnaces as new give rise to several intolerable in- stances of inadequate combustion. The mysterious feature of the affair is that burners of coal persist in wasting value in the form of unburned coal and gases that might readily be saved and turned into steam and power. The law to reach the nuisance skould be short, sharp and clear, carrying with it a peralty for non-compli- ance with such reasonable regulations as the Commissioners might prepare. ee, Mr. Cleveland’s remarks about the peo- pies abiding faith in the agencies estab- hed for the direction of the affairs of their government sourd like an admoni- tien to W. J. Bryan that he might as well be gocd in the future.
