April 24, 1807. cRossy : THE E and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to lee, be the Editortal er Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. te ee Confirm the Commissioners. Next week the sessions of Congress, it is expected, will be somewhat irregular on account of the general desire of members of both houses to attend the Grant cere monies in New York, and the present plan, it is stated. is that little or no business Is to be transacted. This scheme should not cause a further postponement of the confirmation of Messrs. Wight and Ross as District Commisstoners, which has been awaiting action for ten days. The District committee ts probably almost a unit in favor of immediate confirmation, and it is hoped it wiH meet Monday morn- ing to consider these names, in order that @ report may be made to the Senate the same day. The Senate must be called to order at roon, and will probably devote a short time to executive business. These nominations can then be reported and acted upon at once, unless some Senator objects, in which case they must go over to the next executive session, which cannot be held, according to the present plan, until ‘Thursday. Meanwhile the local business is in such shape that ft ts highly important that the board of Commissioners should he reorganized without further delay. Many impcrtant matters are being laid aside, for final action when the new Com- missioner takes his seat and the approach of the new fiscal year places a high pre- mium on time at the District buildings. For these reasons, if for no others, the nominations should be treated with the courtesy of speedy consideration. The rule of the Senate in considering the President's nominations for public office thus far has seemed to be to dispose of all cases with- out delay. In some instances nominees have beea, confirmed on the same day their names were submitted, notably the new minister to Hawaii. The President's ions for these local offices have given ally unanimous satisfaction in the trict, and it is due to the citizens of the tapital, who are deeply concerned, that ac- tion should be taken promptly. —— sem A Philological Barbarism. Success should not follow the efforts of tertain would-be philologists to give the al- jeged new word “demote” a fixed place in the language. It is used occasionally now- adays to signify the reduction of a govern- ment clerk in grade or salary, replacing the well-established and sufficient word “reduce,” whieh can not possibiy be mis- understooé in sueh a connection. The new word is not altogether new, for it has‘ap- red before at such a time as the pres- when a change of administration has cavsed many shiftings in the clerical fore of the government. It is not recognized at the Century dietionary, and is noted ually by the Standard, these two works being today regarded as the leaders in recording the development of the lan- guage. The Standard gives the following definition: “To reduce to a lower class or grade; applied to school children, and op- pesed to promote.” This is followed, how- ever, Ly the significant line: “Rejected by the commitiee on new words.” Dr. Edward Everett Hale, une of tie best authorities in this country on such matters, In a note to the publishers, wrote that he hoped to be counted every Ume against such bar- Lerisms a: “demote” and “retromoie.” ‘Where is reason for this opposition. The new word supplies no lack. It expresses > rew thought or shade of meaning. Ii ig not an abbreviation of a phrase or a consolidation of ideas. It merely displaces if accepted—a short, intelligible and gen- erally reeegnized word that serves every purrese.

Tnus far this word “demote” has hardly suceeeded in this fashion, for it Was never even slang, or a colloquialism, but was a fad of a few who sought to te something out of nothing. see Scorchers. ignocent public is not materially rned in the discovery by a member of yele squad of a method exact speed of scorchers can pt so far as this de- perhaps result in more convic- in the Police Court.

Ordinarily, a young man as leader is thought to be too rash. He is too keen for battle. He wastes his fighting energies on small things. But Mr. Baitey’s critics complain that he is too slow. They want nim to be up and doing. ‘They cannot understand why he is not corstantly swinging his stick, and hitting every opposition head he sees. Upon the whole, it must be admitted that Mr. Bailey is carrying himself under the fire with pratseworthy nerve and self-con- tre. That his critics are leading for his temper is plain enough. It is always an- noying to a young man charged with a du- ty calling for individuality to be taunted with a charge of copying some older and more eminent men. Such charges are usually ungrounded, and are rarely worth roticirg. Mr. Batley ceuld have afforded to ignore the taunt thrust at him of being under the influence of Mr. Reed. But it was probably only natural for. him in the ‘first days of his leadership to resent it. He might have given the country credit for krowing what he knew, that he w= the democratic leader in the House, nu' by virtue of anything Mr. Reed had done, or cculd have done, but by an overwhelming majority of democratic votes. So far as the argument in the case goes, Mr. Bailey has easily the best of it. He grounds his attitude upon two propositions: ) that ft should be no part of the demo- cratic policy to interfere with the republi- can program mapped out in obedience to the will of the people as expressed at the polls in November; and (2) that fighting simply to be fighting is poor and profitless business. He is entirely right on both points. The republicans have essayed to do no more than they were called together to do, and therefore-are entitled at this time to a clear field. As for fighting, Mr. Bailey seems to recognize a very generally recog- nized fact, that it sometimes is better proof of good fighting qualities not to fight than to indulge one’s-self. The true test of a fighter, in both a personal and political sense, is to put something up worth fight- ing for. Mr Bailey at thirty-three Is a conspicu- cus and very promising young man. He pessesses leadership, statesmanship, and undoubtedly sand, and if he lives is cer- tain to cut an interesting and a notable figure in public affairs. —___++2____ The Special Mission to Cuba. The announcement that Judge Day, ow- ing to his appointment as first assistant secretary of state, will not visit Cuba, is accompanied with the announcement that another special commissioner will be chosen. It is to he hoped that this Is true, and that the President may secure the services of a thoroughly competent man for the post. The country approves of the project, as was snown when Judge Day was named and the scope of his mission explained. Nothing has occurred since to lessen the American interest in Cuba. or to neutralize the obligations of the admin- istration, imposed by the St. Louis plat- form, to thoroughly acquaint itself with the merits of a cause which the republi- can party in national convention has in- dorsed. That the President's interest in the mat- ter must be unusual is more than suggest- ed by this development in the case of Judge Day. When the special mission was first preclaimed the man selected for it was de- scribed as possessing the qualities of a good lawyer and a safe adviser, but noth- ing was said to indicate how very highly the President actually esteemed him. Ii turns out now that the President at that time thovght the Cuban matter so import- ant he derided to intrust it to a man who in his opinion was capable of discharging diplomatic business. Does not the expecta- tion reasonably follow, therefore, that in cancelling this plan as to Judge Day, the President will select another man of equat merit and ability for the post Judge Day gives up? There are a great many people in the United States who think a special inquiry in Cuba supertlucus. Facts sufficient, they believe, are already before the President to warrant him in taking such steps as lie within the range of his office in behalf of the insurgents. But be that as it may, a special inquiry, fairly and promptly made, by a man of credit before the country, would serve a gocd purpose and should be ordered. Spain cannot object to it, and Cuba desires it. Such an inquiry could be therough and impartial without taking the commissioner along every bridle-path in the island, or burdening him with excit- ing hearzay from any source. Spain does not dominate sentiment or control reliable information even in the cities she occupies. Terrible as the oppression is, the truih in Cuba, as elsewhere, is mighty, and may be found by any conscientious seéker. In the end, too, in Cuba, as elsewhere, truth will prevail. High Hat Legisintion. Assemblyman Koster, who represents an up-state district In the New York legisla- ture, recently went to a theater and had his view of the stage annoyingly obstruct- ed by a large hat worn by a weman who sat in froat of him. Monday the assembly passed, by a vote of 81 to 47, a bill intro- ducedeby Mr. Koster providing as follows: “Any person who in any theater, hall, or other publie- place of amusement, enter- tainment or instruction, and occupying a seat therein, shal? wear headgear of such proportions and dimensions, or so feath- ered, plumed, bedecked, or decorated as to obstruct the view of persons occupying setts in the rear, and shall refuse to re- move such obstruction after having been requested to do so, shall be liable to a penalty of five dollars for each such of- fense, to be recovered by the person prose- cuting for the same in any court of com- petent jurisdiction.” The motive of this enactment Bool and should actuate more legislation in aid of suffering theater-goers. But it is to be questioned whether it is wise to hold out to patrons of the play the temptation to prefit from their pain at having their vis- ion cut off by millinery creations. To ve sure, the sufferer deserves consideration and redress, but he should be regarded by the law as above the need of a financial salve for his wounded feelings. What he secks is a clear view of the stage, not re- venge or gain. Give the exacted fine to the poor. Let the money be taken suiely to emphasize the dignity of the mandaie that every patron of a place of public amusement shall not be deprived of the right to witness the performance unham- pered by plumage, artificial foliage, speci- mens of taxidermy and dry goods 0 Despite the liberality with which criti- cism is being dispersed, it is very unlikely that the Dingley bill will ever be as un- popular with the protectionists as the Wil- son bill was with the free-traders. ————++e—____ All persons who dislike to be considered odd to the point of affectation will hasten to announce that Judge Day may be ex- pected to shed much light on international affairs. ee A Turkish general kas been ordered to Strike a decisive blew und bring the war to # close.

The bitterness between Greece and Tur- key broke out in open warfare; the Turk- ish troops forced one of the mountain passes leading into Thessaly and proceeded toward the Greek army headquarters at Larissa, south of the River Salambri: an attempt to force the Reveni pass, fur- ther west, was frustrated, and the Greeks pushed northward into Macedonia, threat- ening the Turkish lines of communication; the Greeks bombarded Prevesa, on the Gulf of Arta, in Epirus, and succeeded in crossing the River Arakthos, with the in- tentton of marching on to Janina, the ‘Turkish base in Epirus; in co-operation with this plan of campaign the Greek fleets bombarded Turkish towns on the Gulf o1 Saloniva and destroyed Turkish stores of importance; Osman Pasha, the hero of Plevna, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, succeeding Edhem Pasha, whose slow progress disappointea the sultan.

Members of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor called on Speaker Reed to ask for the appointment of the committees and the transaction of genera: business relative to labor interests. Easter Monday was celebrated by the children o.: the District in the old-time manner of as- sembling on the White House lawn and rolling eggs to the music of the Marine Band.
