According to democratic as well as sblican testimony, freely given, it was the most unworthy and incompetent slative body that ever sat at Annapoli andals of all kinds were rife, from the first day to the last. The newspapers of Baltimore, without distinction of party, ex- coriated the whole majority outfit and pro- cedure. Did Mr. Wellington, in studying this record, consider that he had served the state in helping to bring in such rule? His ewn party had been exceedingly successful while in office, and had administered affairs sly for the general good. ‘ton is at outs with his party now on national issues, and announces an- other period of inactivity. He will take no part in this year's campaign. But his sym- pathles and his influence will, as before, count in favor of the democracy. Dees he consider that democratic success, achieved largely under populistic auspices, would be an improvement on his own party's con- trol? Does he read in Mr. Bryan’s attitude on expansion a policy which meets his own views and desires? Would he be glad to welcome a Congress favorable in its lower branch to free silver and to free trade? Would Mr. Richardson as Speaker please him better than Colonel Henderson is do- ing? An affirmative answer appears to go with these questions, for he also serves who sits and sulks. Either the democrats or the republicans will win, and the man who is not actively for his party ts pas- sively against It. Mr. Hoar, who Is as earnest an opponent jon as Mr. Wellington, refuses to jon the whole thing.

The wide difference between the bids sub- niftted yesterday for garbage and refuse @isposal brings attention anew to the fact thet this city has been backward in ad- @ressing that important item. The service rendered by the retiring contractor during the past few years has been varyingly sat- isfactory and unsatisfactory. It has been etter of late than formerly. But at no time has it been what the dignity and the health of the capit uve demanded. The prevailing opinion is that Washington should be equipped with the finest possible @isposal plant, at which all forms of city refuse, the litter of str; ashes and the garbage, should be treated in the most sclentific manner, producing a maximum of profitable product with a minimum of annoyance to the community. Such plants exist in a measure in‘other cities. The ob- fectionable features of some of them are evercome and gradually the business of treating with the city wastes is being brought to a high state of perfection. Contractors, however, seem shy about ap- proaching the Washington situation, as shown by the extravagance of their bids. It might be well, therefore, to amend the Vfstrict bill, which ts still in conference, by widening this item s0 as to give the Commissioners power to set up a complete refuse disposal system of their own, suit- able for every possible purpose. This would be quite im line with the wishes of the Commissioners in some other directions. continues THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1900-26 PAGES. They have recommended municipal street cleaning. It is but a step to municipal rbage collection and treatment. These matters. experience teaches, are always done better by the elty unless a contract can be devised which will scale the pay- ment to the contractors according to the amount of refuse collected or treated. A garbage reduction plant, which produces a salable commodity, is more likely to afford this factor than a mere destruction plant, which burns away all values. If from every cart load of garbage or refuse the contractors stood in position to extract a dollar's worth of fertilizer, for instance, the citizens could rest asSured that the col- lections would be thorough. ‘The contract, when let, too, should pro- vide inst nuisances. A public suspicion exists today against all forms of garbage treatment plants, bred of certain deplorable experiences in South Washington. Yet from other cities comes testimony that these establishments may be made unof- fensive with proper care. Ht is almost cer- tain that wherever the new contractor or the city proposes to locate the plant a pro- test will be heard from the chosen neigh- borhood. It would seem that with the river so convenient a place could be found out of town at which this disagreeable de- tail of city government could be attended to without offense to any interests. There is barely another item in the whole munici- pal program so likely to cause disputes be- tween the people and the administration, and it is most essential that in the framing of the agreement and the selection of an agency the greatest care be exercised to keep all chances of public irritation at the Jowest point. For this service is in behalf of the public health and comfort and should be made just as wholesome and as free from annoyance as it is possible to make it by a wisely liberal expenditure of money. ——__+ee The Shifty Salta In its present aspect the tssue between the United States and Turkey suggests a mere question of v2racity between the sul- tan and the American minister at Con- stantinople. The latter has reported that in the course of negotiations with the sul- tan assurances were given that the port? would pay the claims. The Turkish minis- ter here strongly intimates that no such promises were given. He 1s doubtless In- spired to adopt this tone by his chief in Constantinopl>. It ls a characteristic Turk- ish procedure. It would have been sur- prising to find the Grand Turk acknowledge a pledge at first blush. ‘There can, of course, be no hesitation in this quarter in deciding between th? word of the American minister and the demurrer of the sultan’s representative. Without special disparagement to the Mosl2m poten- tate, it may be sald that his reputation for truth is by no means high. The history of diplomatic dealings with him on the part of all the nations is a consistent record of quibbling, evasion, denials, doublings and— the word may be harsh, but it is necessary —lying. It has now come to pass that the Ameri- can patience Is at an end. Shall the Untted States accept the traditlonal situation, yteld to the repudiation of the sultan's formal promise, contribute once more to the shameful scurity of the porte and accept the doctrine of the old world diplomacy that in the interests of the “balance of power” the “Sick Man” must not be dis- turb2d? Or shall it give a new display of hirt-sleeve diplom join issue on the support its minister and demonstrate that {t is possible to col- ject a debt even from so shifty a debtor as Turkey? The choice should not be long in doubt. Sut th2 case need not wait for decision upon the joining of this issue of veracity. The claims are known to be worthy. Whether the sultan has ever given his Promise to pay or not, he owes the money. If he has in fact succeed>d thus far in bluffing off the American minister with a crafty evasion of the demand the time has come when he should be brought to terms and made to realize that ther» is at least one power that can afford to present a bill with confidence of obtaining satlsfaction. The longer Turkey {s coddled in her habit of evasion and dishonesty the longer th» problem of dealing with her will stand as a Possible menace to the peace of Europe. The United States does not care overmuch about the peace of Europe. But it does care mightily about the honor of {ts diplo- matic representatives and the rights of its citizens abroad. ————~++2+—____ New York and New Jersey. Tt must be gratifying to the President an@ his supporters to observe the condi- tion of their party's affairs in the impor- tant states of New York and New Jersey. The republicans of both states have select- ed their delegates to Philadelphia, have ex- pressed themselves as to the admin: performances and the party's poll- s, and shown that they are in fine fettle for the coming race. Both conventions were largely attended, the foremost of the local leaders participated In the proce ings, and generous enthuslasm marked every step taken. But why should not this spirit have been shewn? In what particular has the admin- istration failed in matters of vital impor- tance to the people ef thos two common- wealths? The tariff has been revised in the Interests of American ries and Ameri- can labor, the money question has been dealt with strictly after the party's prom- ises and policies, and to the extent that expansion a commercial question it bears directly upon the interests of those at hives of human industry. Why, en, for an administration which has pur- sued a course on all fours with the wants and wishes of those who helped to put it into office, should rot there be both in- dorsement ond enthusiasm? What excuse could any republican in eliher state give for holding aloof from, or joining but Ust- lessly in, the chorus cf approval which now is sounding? The conventions are described by the op- position as cut-and-dried affairs. It may be sald in reply that, in states where poli- ties are usually so warm, and the indepen- ent spirit so woll developed, if there had not been general assent to the proceedings factionalism would easily have shown its head. oe In conducting his college of journalism, Murat Haistead may find it difficult to re- frain from bringing one or two papers he has met with in his experience to attention as horrible examples. ———_ e—____ ‘The governorship of Porto Rico will ‘- volve grave responsibilities and many diffi- culties.

SS Mr. Mason seems to have a suspicion that in the Senate money some times talks, but it doesn’t spell. >> —____ Pass the Grout Bill. Excellent evidence of tha deleterious character of oleomargarine is furnished by a letter printed in today’s Star in the course of a news article. A western man, long an employe of th? Chicago stock yards, and perfectly familiar with their facts and traditions, declares that the soap manufacturers are no longer able to obtain their requisite supply of tallow, because that commodity ts chiefly consumed In the manufactur? of oleo oll, from which butter imitation is made. There may still be op- position in the House committee on ways and means to the passage of a resolution of inquiry designed to demonstrate such un- pleasant facts as this. But if so the oppost- tlon must be understood as Int2nded to shield the oleo trust from a damning ex- posure. Meanwhile not even this question of in- grddients should obscure th> main Issue In the premises, namely, the prompt passage of the Grout bill, which effectively places the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine under string2nt regulation. Secretary Wil- son strenuously urges this legislation in the course of the interview with him print- ed today. His recommendations are worthy of respectful consideration by Congress, for he represents the agricultural interests of the country in the highest and best sense and he fs personally and officially familiar with the ways and the tricks of the butter imitation trade and, it also appears from this interview, with the unwhol2someness of that product. When the grasp of the law upon this questionable industry has been strengthened it will be possible with greater certainty to keep th2 product with- in the bounds of wholesomeness. But just now the fight is over the question, Are the interests of the farmers of less consquence than those of the trust? And with the farmers stand the housekeepers of the country, the butter users, in fact, the whole mass of th> people whose purses and probably whose constitutions are affected by the frauds which are permitted by the statutes of today. —_++2—____ It may be taken for granted that the Porto Ricans will not be offended at any pomp and cer2mony which this government may display.

The Danger to the Senate. From the Philadelphia Press. If the Senate recognizes the unconstitu- tional appointment of Governor Stone in the first Instance consistency will compel it to be recognized next year in the event of a reappointment: and if such appointments from the commonwealth of ‘ania, although directly prohibited the constitution of Pennsylvania, it will be necessary to recognize them when made by governors of other states. This would mean am entire change in the make-up of the United Stat nate, and will certainly hasten the day when United States sena- tors will be chosen by a direct vote of the people. Whether or not that 1s the most de- sirable method of clecting United States senators, the frauds, the intrigues and abuses incident to the uncertainties which must follow the adoption of two methods of choosing senators—one by legislatures and the other by governors—will compel Congress to agree upon some amendment which shall prevent the evils bound to fol- low the new departure which the seating of Mr. Quay involv ———~ + = —____ A Gocd Example to Follow, From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

And the shade of Father Penn is mightily tick- led over it, for the improvement it has ef- fected 1s quite remarkable. The streets are far cleaner than they were, the merry breezes no longer flirt the paper litter from curb to curb, and all good Philadelphians— which doesn’t include the circular distribu- tors—are delighted.
