The United States Consul at Callao, Peru
gives gloomy picture of the commercial con-
dillon of that Republic. No country can thTIFe
on revolutions; but that seems to be Il lesson
which the people of Peru and OF some other
South and Central American countries never
learn. or refuse to profit by As matters are
reported to be growing worse III Peru II Is
hard to foresee what the end Will be.
The vendors of decayed fruits and meats have
become so used to the spasnodic raids by the
Health Department that they apparently can
not realize the good faith of the officials III
their present efforts to stop the sale OF such an
tjcles This imcredulousness has COST them
dearly tins week. Ii the Department continues
its present energetic efforts i'll that direction
the vendors will learn lesson that may prove
of lasting benefit 10 themselves and the city.
The neople of Georgia do not appreciate
pracucal Joke which costs them $1,000. But
that is SAID to have been The result
of some legislative nonsense, concerning
the proposed imposition OF tax on bachelors.
The Legislature is denounced as one of
the worst Georgia has known, which
ia saving a good deal. Few Of the
State Legislatures have proved themselves
deserving of praise tins year. Reform in this
direction is generally demanded.
England is evidently becoming more OF less
prepared for granting at least limited amount
OF self-cOntrol to ireland. Clifford Lloyd, who
was special British Magistrate nireand under
Earl SpenceI's rule, Is one OF the latest con-
yerts to the theory Of local self government.
He is qualified to speak on this subject, and his
words cannot be without considerable effect.
The result or his proposed changes would lead
to the abolition of the Dublin Castle Govern
ment. which long ago became Odi0us IN the eyes
of lrishmen.
The effect of the recent visit of Pcnnsyl-
yania Democrats TO Washington is shown IN
the rapid increase in the appointment Of fourth
class postmastcrs in that State. Yet it was the
president of the Civil Service Reform AssOca-
ton who recently declared that the politicians
no longer influenced appointments. Fourth
class postmasters have no fixed terms. and they
are not confirmed by the Senate. Hence, it is
in such appointments that we must look for
the real policy Of the Administration. That
policy is a clean sweep when there Is 10 danger
of coming in contact with the Republican
Senate.
Commissioner Eaton has seemingly poured oil
ON the troubled waters at the Custom House,
and now expects a calm and peaceful time.
He says that Surveyor Beatties youthful pr
vate secretary, fresh from his duty as stenOg-
raphcr in brokers' Office, will probably be APP
pointed an examiner on the Civil Service
Board. This is the kind of peace that is typi-
fed by the lamb resting inside the lion. In
this case Civil Service reform figures as the
lamb and Surveyor Beattie rs the lion eager for
the spOlls. And If he gets control of the Exam
inIng Board he is pretty sure to have his appe
tite gratifed. 1t would be interesting TO know
If Mr. Eaton has yet heard of the appointment
in the Surveyors Office, of three Inspectors con-
trary to the Civil Service law.
The offensive partisanship hypocrisy of the
Administration was stTikingly illustrated in
Aha Ohio Democratic Convention. A number
