NOYES EVENING STAR has a regula permanent Family Circulntion much more as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton, As a N and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. THE a order to avoid delays, on ac- absence, letters to not be addressed toe any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpos: Welcome. ‘The arrival in Washington of William McKinley to assume the duties of President of the United States sets the man again sharply against the background of his own and the country’s history. That he bears well the closest scrutiny in that relation is the judgment of all fair men, and that he may realize in his great office the high- est possibilities of the place for the good of the ccuntry should be the common wish of every American citizen. He is worthy of the office. He exempli- fies in his_own career the boast and the yroudest fact of the American government. “The republic is opportunity.” He has shown It to be such. The secret of his triumph is character, sustained by gener- ous abilities and a steadfast, patriotic pur- pose. As student, lawyer, soldier, states- man, there runs through his history a con- tinuous shining thread of courage and earnest endeavor. He has striven to meet every emergency presented, and he jas achieved so much that while still a young man he has been called to the post of hishest honor. His equipment is ample and admirable. He knows the law. He has had much to do as a famfliar and an equal with the representative men of his day. As a legis- lator he has helped frame statutes. As an executive he has administered statutes framed by others. He has both given and taken advice about public business. His temperament is pleasing, and conducive to <c-operation. He has patience, courtesy, and sincerity. He has shown that he loves the country. He fought for it when a lad. He has served it in his mature years in civil office long and faithfully. He ts #0 keod an American, indeed, that he won the presidential race as distinctly the rep- resentative and champion of the Amertcan ersonal charm and attractiveness, and Patriotic purpose and large ability and ex- go far, but they call for support presidential office. afr. McKinley the is not forgetful, ror should his friends be, of the fact that he is taking office In cir- cumstances altogether trying. There 1s much distress. There is much unrest. His declared purpose is to address himself to the task of seeking to restore both con- tentment and prosperity, and so to bring about happiness for the people and justi- fication of his own election. The purpose 1s worthy of the occasion, and of all the stpport his party can possibly give him. Washington as a place of residence should be, ard dowbtless will be, agreeable te Mr. McKinley. He fs so far from being @ stranger in the town that there survive from his former residence here many pleasant recollections of him and his ac- -mplished wife.

Senate added $447,000 to the total -d by the District bill, which into conference with an aggregate of 44. or $1.651.805.35 more than passed the House. Yesterday's Work was of a most satisfactory character. e mate passage of the bill was praec- tically assured by the perfecting of the electric lighting compromise on a basis that will permit certain necessary exten- sions and yet not prevent the adjustment cf the entire problem on a permanent foot- ing tm the near future.

Gage will add materiaily to bis already great reputation as a man of sound Judgment and broad public spirit if he will give unyielding force to his declared intentions respecting the administration of the civil service law in the department over which he ts scon to preside. His remarks cn this line, which were quoted from his lips im last evening's Star, deserve to be repeated that they may be made famtitar te all who take an interest In this subject. Mr. Gage said: { am an uncompromising adherent to principles of civil service reform, and éuring my incumbency in the Treasury De- partment I shall support the civil service saw to the very best of my ability. The major number of the appiications for office which have been presented to me are for positions covered by the civil service law— which makes me devoutly thankful. It really seems extraordinary to me that men throughout the United States, whose ability is such that they consider themselves fitted for the holding of responsible government positions, seems to be entirely unaware that the operations of the civil service law, as recently broadened, make it absolutely impossible for them to be given the posi- tions to which they aspire. I don’t know of any American governmental doctrine ‘hat ia less understood in general throughout the entire country than the civil service law—but I fancy there may be a general awakening on the subject during the’ zext four years. In so far as the department which I am to assume {s concerned, there certainly will be.” ‘There is no other department of the gov- ernment in which a sincere application of the spirit of civil service reform ts so essen- tial to the good working of the whole sys- tem of appointment, retention and promo- tion based on merit and merit alone, as the Treasury. It is to be feared that the inspiration of Mr. Gage’s promises and forecasts has not animated those in charge of tke personnel of the department during the last few years, and not only has there been no marked advancement toward alle- giance to the merit system but there has even been a retrogression here and there. But Mr. Gage’s remarks leave no doubt of his own good intention in the premises. He undertakes to administer the law in accordance with its true spirit and also to educate the American people in that spirit, to cause them to appreciate more fully the value of real civil service reform and to realize the benefits that accrue to the tax- payer whose money goes further and pro- duces better results under the new plan than under the old spoils system. If the in-coming secretary can succeed in this labor he will have achieved a victory as great in its way as the solution of the financial problems that are so soon to con- front him. oe The Crematorium at the Almshouse. It is gratifying to The Star to note the adoption by the Senate yesterday of the amendment proposed by Senator Gallinger appropriating for the establishment of a crematorium at the almshouse for the dis- posal of the bodies of paupers, which are now buried in potter’s field in a manner that Is a scan&al and a disgrace, as many as five bodies being placed in one grave. It is especially pleasant as this project was advocated by The Star in the autumn when the need for such an establishment was pointed out by the intendent of the asylum. In the debate yesterday Senator Gallinger referred to The Star's advocacy of the measure in a complimentary manner, and secured the adoption of the amendment without opposition. The ttem may not stand the test of conference, but if it should go out of the bill there fs all the greater reason for active work next session to secure its enactment into law, for the situation which gives rise to the necessity for @ crematorium at the asylum is rapidly growing intolerable. —+e+e—____ The manner of Major McKinley's en- trance into the city this morning was suf- ficiently democratic to please every Ameri- can. He chose to be driven publicly to his hotel without escort, save the chairman of the inaugural committee. The reception accorded to him on the way was of a spon- taneous sort and the enthusiasm shown by the few whose attention was attracted by the unpretentious carriage was genuine and gave a pleasant starter to the events of the week centered around the new Pres- ident. ————+ee—____ Doubtless the avenue ts less disfigured than at any previous inauguration, but it is still much to be desired that the vis- itors will not go away with the impression that the stands along the line of march are permanent features of the Washbiug- ton landscape.

Oh, blissful change from other days When clans were gathering thick and fast!

He gets into town a week before I do. If he goes on at- tracting attention the public will conclude that he’s the best part of the show, and there won't be any use of keeping me on the pay roll.” Enthusiasm. “Hooray fer McKinley!” shouted Mr. Blykins, as he slammed the door and flung his hat at the rack without taking aim. “Three cheers for the advance agent of prosperity!” “Why, William,” bh “What do you mean “Every word I sa “But you voted for Bryan.” “I know it.” “And ycu said that the rrotective tariff was robbery.” “I did.” ‘And that free silver was the only salva- m of the country.” “That was my opinion. But I'm hooray- ing for McKinley just the same. I saw him ride down the street today bowing to the multitude, Who cheered until they made the welkin ring. And when I see a man who can arouse all that enthusiasm without being either a pugilist or a base ball player, I take off my hat to him and cheer on gen- eral principles.” is wife exclaimcd. th Slumber Song.
