Injarious Dixcriminations. In the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government alike there are discriminations against the District of Co- lumbia and its people. ‘The District has been pronounced a state under a treaty with France, in order that privileges therein might be conferred on Frenchmen, but not a state under the Con- stitution, whose pecple can sue In the fed- eral courts. The Supreme Court of the United States says in express terms that we stand in a more unfavorable attitude toward the national judiclary in this re- gard than aliens. Touching the legislative branch, the Dis- trict, though a state when direct taxes are to be collected, ts not a state when repre- sentatives are apportioned, notwithstand- ing the Constitution couples the two things. Under the executive head the District is a territory for the purpose of nominating in convention a President of the United States, but practically not even a territory, when that President begins to fulfill the platform pledges made to the territories on the subject of local appointments to fed- al offices. -giect by hundreds of office-holders to retain citizenship in their respective states and their consequent crediting to the Dis- ause the law corcerning the appor- ment of offices largely to exclude the hingtonian from entry into classified service. The apparent of the nation has been to con- the industrial activities of the fed- city to labors connected directly fine eral or indirectly with the national government. In other communities residents have always an advantage in the matter of employment in the local factories. From the govern- ment workshops that constitute Washing ton’s leading industries the Washingtonian is under the terms of the law now prac- Ucally shut out. ‘sing from consideration of the federal offices which are local only in the circum- stances that their functions are perfermed within the limits of the District to those that are purely and exclusively local in character, the discrimination against the ingtonian becomes more marked and grievous. In recent years all the platforms of both the great 's have pledged these offices to resi- And in every c the incoming nt, whether republican or d2mo- more presidential cratic, has straightway proceeded to falsify this promise of the platform upon which he has been elected. The local récorder- of deeds remains a political sop with which to reward, nourish and encourage the colored voter of Kansas or North Car- olina. The office of sealer of weights and meas a subordinate appointment of the Commissioners, is tossed to one of the Ohio Invincibles, who boasts the stinction of being named for this important only to the local d States. And it is also predicted the marshalship of the District, to which even Mr. Cleveland made a local ointment, and which had been viewed t by common consent as appro- intended for National Committee- ‘arker in recognition of his ability and services, fs to go to another political worker from the President's own state. The law specifies three years of resi- dence as a qualification of appointment as a civilian District commissioner, and the spirit of the law and the American pre- ¢ nt in municipal government suggest @ similar residence qualification in those who are to serve as tne lieutenants of the Commissioners in the performance of their function Knowledge of and interest in local conditions which are wisely required of the general overseers of the municipal aff: rs ome absolute essentials of the welfare in the case of subordinate als who deal directly and specifically these conditions. Discrimination nst Washingtonians is increasing even in the matter of appointments under the lecal municipality. Senators and Repre- s demand these appointments as a matter of right, based on the fact that the nation cont utes to the maintenance of the national capital, forgetful that this right, if it existed, would confer upon each individual legislator in an equitable divi- sion of the handful of District offices the privilege of selecting only an infinitesimal fraction of some subordinate official. Too often the Congressional demand is accom- by the Congressional threat, and is constant danger of the coercion of the Commissioners into unwise and hurt- ful appuintments by the menace of hostile legislati in the hody to whose tender the Constitution of the United trusts the capital's guardianship. ‘The national legislator whose perform- of his constitutional function in rela- n to the affairs of the capital would be affected by the degree of success of his bull-dozing and appointment-seeking labors in dealing with the District Commissioners, would be of course beneath contempt. But there have been men, strange to say, who have boastfully characterized themselves as capable of just such petty and unmanly conduct. The President of the United States should to the full extent of his power put a stop to all discriminations against the people of the capital, instead of permitting his name ard great authority to be used in the petty business of distributing the local municipal offices to outsiders, Ohio men or otherwise, as rewards of political service. He should enforce the home-rule piedge in dealing with the local federal offices which are still to be disposed of, and he should pro- tect the Commissioners, whom he has ap- peinted to represent him in the conduct of Washington's municipal affairs, against the office-seeking demands of politicians, which, if not resisted in the public interest, will sorely impair the efficiency of the local ministration, for the success or faflure of which the President shares with the Commissioners the burden of responsibility. ———__~ e + The administration has disccvered tnat the old adage, “a place for everything,” dees not apply to America’s office-seeking population. ——_>+e—____. Japan’s Latest. In protesting against a surrender of tn- rf lence by the Hawaiian government ses arguments which completely re the existence of that independence. liawaii is a treaty power, recognized as sech by the whole world, possessing all the rights which pertain to an independent government. Japan, while holding fast to alleged rights under her treaty with the n government protests to the 1inst annexation in terms don grounds which in effect deny any lependent powers in Hawaii and obliter- ate that government entirely from the cal- culation. The Japanese theory seems to be that the Hawalian government exists and must continue to exist, whether it wishes to live or rot, in order to give Irrevocable treaty rights to Japan. For instznee, in the latest communica- tion on the subject, Japan protests that in the event of annexation “the application of United States customs laws to- Hewati would check the further development of Japanese trade.” But Hawaii without wait- ing for annexation could if she so desired adopt today the,customs laws of the United States and apply them to Japanese trade and all other trade without overstepping her acknowledged rights as an independent Power. Japan's protest against a change in the Hawaiian customs laws through an- nexation involves the claim that these laws are not to be changed at all without the consent of Japan. That nation intends to alter her own customs laws in 1899 and to increase largely duties upon imports. She would view as a piece of impudence the suggestion of some other power that she could not «Iter these laws, because of a resulting interference with that power’s trade. What would be sauce for Japan is sauce for Hawaii. Japan further protests against the exten- sion of the naturalization and navigation laws of the United States to Hawali through annexation, equally unmindfel of the fact that the shape those laws shall take is today a matter exclusively in the discretion of the Hawaiian government, and that interference by Japan in such domes- tule legislation of Hawaii would be meddile- some, impertinent and unwarrantable. The only reasonable suggestion made by Japan in her protest is to the effect that Hawail, alleged to be liable to her in dam- ages for personal injury, should not be per- mitted to go out of existence in a fashion to work an abatement of Japan’s cause of action in the court of international arbitra- tion. If Hawaii is wrorg in her construc- tion of the “treaty and laws involved in the immigration controversy and has un- justifiably inflicted pecuniary damage upon Japan, she is not to be permitted to escape frofn indemnifying the injured party by hiding under the cloak of Uncle Sam. But this petty dispute will doubtless be arbi- trated and out of the way before the Senate votes on Hawaiian*annexation at the next session. And when this liability, whatever it may be, something or nothing according to the view of the arbitrator, has been as- sumed by the United States the last ves- tige of reasonable foundation for Japan's interference with annexation will be re- moved. The compiaint that annexation will in- juriously affect the industrial rights of the Japanese in Hawali means that the great companies in Japan which traffic in coolie labor will no longer be able to operate in the islands. The right io carry on either the slave trade or a semi-slave trade with another country is not inalienable or irre- vocable, and 1s, in fact, no right at all. Hawaii hersel? is struggling to solve the lecal labor problem on other lines than those of contract coolie labor, and if Japan's views of her own status in Hawaii are correct the temporary presence ef sev- eral thousand half-slaves of Japanese na- tivity in the islands will prevent Hawaii from ever ceasing to be acc23sory to the coolie trade. ‘The right to traffic in the muscles of its peopie is not one upon which the new Japan can afford to insist. The Japanese are not to be the Hessians of the world’s industrial armies, sold with the consent of their government into the service of cther Jands. If the representative of the new Japan is to be a coolic, he must expect a coolie’s treatment, and only a coolie’s rights and privileges. The future Japan will doubtless cease to forze semi-slaves upon unwilling peoples, will retain the bulk of her laborers at nome to develop rich Formesan rescurces, and will ccnsider it beneath the national dignity te permit any of her citizens to enter other lands cn the degraded basis of beasts of the tield. The key-note of the Japanese reply is sounded in the sentence: “The sphere of Japan’s expanding activities is In the Pa- cific.” But Japan's sphere is confined to the Asiatic side of the Pacific, and is not to be so expanded as to include the Ha- walian Islands. ———_~+ e+ __ Trouble in the British Ministry. A complication has arisen in the British ministry, growing out of the estrangement of Lord Salisbury and Joseph Chamberlain. The former has taken occasion publicly to criticise the latter for his advocacy of a certain bill, and it is now no secret that che two are on bad terms. Ordinarily so serious a breach in the government would put it almost at the mercy of the opposi- tion. . But the vote in the commons yester- day on the Rhodes resolution showed the government to be too firmly intrenched to warrant the opposition In assailing it for an overthrow just now. On that vote the government was sustained, indirectly, by {M4 to 77, and it would appear to bea bad time fcr the liberals to press the ministry to a defensive attitude, either on the Rhodes case or any other matter in dis- pute at present. Indeed it would seem that the Transvaal affair is practically all there is left for parliament to become excited over at this session. In view of these con- Gitions the conservatives are said to be taking no pains t2 conceal their disagree- ments from the view of the public and the opposition, and it is now being wondered just how long the ministry will remain in- tact. ——_~+ ++ ___ A Great Chance for Swindlers. The discovery of gold in Alaska opens up a rich field for the swindlers and already signs are at hand that the confidence men of all stripes are at work utilizing this latest inspiration to the acquisitiveness of the human race. It is going to Le a hard experience for the miners themselves, if but half the warnings that have been given of dangers in the Yukon region are well founded, but unless the stay-at-homes keep a pretty sharp eye on the main chance and refrain from long-distance speculation in the gold fields except upon first-class au- thority there will be equivalent distress at this distance from the cold and the hun- ger of the Alaskan wastes. ——>+o—____ Mrs. Deininis has at last succeeded in being personally received by President Mc- Kinley, but since her first unavailing effort in that direction the President has sub- mitted an annexation treaty to Congress and has thus ceased to be of immediate consequence to Mrs. Dominis. —_~+ +> _____ A New Police Court Badly Needed. Commissioner Wight's inspection of the Police Court and its appointments ought to produce good results next winter when the time comes to ask Congress for ap- Propriations. Though now much better than formerly, the condition of this neces- sary institution still urgently invites im- proverrent. Housed in a building originally intended for far different purposes, it has never been better than a make-shift. Its court rooms have been made habitable and wholesome only by means of large sums for repairs, and even now are dingy and dsrk. ‘fhe office’ rooms are small and diffi- cult of access. The witness rooms and spaces for the’ detention of persons not actually confined are ridiculously imade- quate and are provided with the barest of necessities for personal comfort. The cells, while larger and cleaner than ever before, are still foul and small. They ere usually crowded to their full capacity, not necessarily because the criminal population of the city is large, but because these es- sentials have not grown in proportion to the rest of the capital. Time was, not so long ago, when these cells were absolute pest-holes. They have since been provided with more decent equipments, but when the court is doing business at full pressure these underground cages are beyond polite description. These conditions prevail today because Congress has hitherto paid no heed to the frequent appeals for relief in this direction. The bad condition of the court has been éxploited . session after session, but the tions has cut so close to the line of parsi- mony that this along with other worthy and needful reforms has suffered period- ical postponement. What is needed is a new structure, with sufficient room for the accommodation of all the police ma- chinery at headquarters and all the appur- tenances of a modern court. Much could Probably be gained in the joint housing of the police department and the court, end -when put in this form the proposition might savor sufficiently of economy to win Congressional approval. It is to be hoped that Commissioner Wight’s personal inves- tigation has furnished him with sufficient data for a successful campaign next win- ter in favor of this much needed improve- ment. course- of economy in making- appropria-"| ¢- - - — 2 ___— An important point has been neglected In the discipline of Washington's new street- sweepers.

Silver continues to fall, and yesterday in London sold within three-sixteenths of a penny of the lowest price ever touched, which was twenty-seven pence per ounce, in March, 1804. Continued heavy produc- tion and a lessened demand from India, owing to the hard times in that country, are the ostensible causes of the decline. — > +e—__ Now Get Down to Business, From the New York Tribune. Among New York merchants confidence in a quickly returning prosperity is almost universally expressed, now that the tariff agitation is out of the way.
