WE trust the statement Ia not correct that Colonel
Wilson, the new Commissioner OF Public Buildings
and Grounds, will try TO have the iron fences re-
moved from around the parks. There Is no sign
OF the Inferior mind than the desire to dsplace re-
spectacle old things by other things which
nave nothing 10 recommend them. The SUM-
DAY HERALD Is In favor Of preserving all
the Old landmarks OF the Capital unless
some incontestible reason for a change. As for
the post-and-chain style OF fence around parks,
which was product OF the Board Of Public Works
era, 1t had absolutely nothing TO recommend H. II
Is neither a thing OF beauty nor Is 1t fence. Its
only for existing apparently Is that II fur
nlshes profitable Job for the people who tear down
real, substantial, handsome fence 10 put this
descrlpt In Its place Now, either fence IL wanted
or none. II none, why put up this absurd trace
chain nondescript. II a fence IL wanted, the good
old kind, such as We see around Franklin and La
fayette Squares, are good enough.
III people were allowed TO walk across the lawns
there would be sense In tearing down the fences.
But as walking On the grass s forbidden the fences
are In no ones way unless II he In the way Of the
people who want TO buy them for old iron and get

tue positive objection 10 the policy OF taking down
the iron fences In obedience 10 the mere itch foI

sary expense. These parks are doing well enough

very considerable sum OF money which would be re.

WE trust the views of those members who would
curtail the leaves Of absence of the clerks from
thirty to twenty days will not prevail. The gentle
men of the Cabinet, when they have been longer in
office, will know that these public servants are, as
class, very hard.working and worthy, and are well
entitled TO the thirty days recreation and 1t s be
hoped they will not be limited to twenty days
leave. II they cannot be spared to take their thirty
days at one time, let them be allowed to take such
leave as is consistent with the pressure of work in
their respective ofrlces. A prominent Democratic
member OF Congress expressed himself the other
day as being very much surprised thatthis question
should be again agitated. In view of the fact that
Congress has given the Cabinet olcers the authority
to grant leaves Of absence to their subordnates not
to exceed thirty days each year, except in cases
sickness.

Curious Conduct Of Dynamite.

The safe character OF dynamite was strikingly y
pened last month at Herne In Westphalia A cart
load Of the explosive was being conveyed 10 one OF
the mineD OF that locality AZ point In the road II
was necessary TO traverse the railway by a Level
crossing. Through want VI vigilance on the part
OF the gaie-keeper, the cart arrived the rails at
the moment when goods train. hidden by curve,
came up. The cart was smashed 10 pieces, and the
dynamite cartridges were scattered all over the line,
but no explosion occurred. To clear the line for the
expected passenger train was now not merely a
work OF pressing necessity, but a matter for some
anxiety on the part Of the officials who were called
TO the spot for, though no far the dynamite had he
hayed well, there was no knowing what a cartridge
might do under the wheel OF an engine The train
WAS delayed I'LL careful search had been made by
one OF the Inspectors, who had Ia the meantime beet
teegraphed for. As both the horse and It's driver
escaped unhur II must he admitted that good luck
played prominent part 10 the accident.

THERE are better hopes than ever, according to
the Boston Advertiser. for the permanent establish
ment OF an International uniformity of musical
pitch. The subject was lately discussed at musl-
cal congress In Belgium under the presidency Of n
Minister of State, with result that brought the
government TO authorize the adoption OF the
didDdson norBdie In all public musical institutions,
schools, and military bands. At recent public
meeting convened under the auspices of the Royal
Academy Of Music 1t was unanimously resolved to
adopt the French pitch, and committee has been
appointed TO carry the resolutions into effect 1t
was not long ago that the leading musicians and
instrument makers OF Germany petitioned Prince
Bismarck, praying for the establishment OF normal
pitch, uhe Frencb,) to be adopted by the Empire,
and If possible by other nations well. The need
OF an harmonious intonaton has long been felt.
The real sufferers have been the singers A foreign
singer, for instance, coming to this country, may
find that a note written in the same manner means
something different from what 1t means to him at
home. The same state Of things has affected very
seriously the makers of instruments that cannot be
tuned after the manner OF the violin and the piano.

ONE of those correspondents of newspapers who
know everything and take everything literally writes
to the papers to point out that Miss Cleveland is
wrong in the premises of her essay the Smiths:
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu didnot say the world
was composed OF men, women, and Smiths. For
Smith read Hervey. Lord Hervey, who was sup
posed to be the father OF Horace Walpole, Lady
was 80 entirely SUI generts, that he seemed thing

The tfiumpant reelection Of Lord Ran.
dolph Churchill will crafty all who have
watched his career. He is apparently the
coming English statesman. A most erro.
neous view Of Lord Randolph's character has
been given currency by the newspapers.
When he first entered Parliament he en-
countered very much the same treatment
that had been accorded BENJAMIN Disraeli
many years before. As he quickly showed
that though Conservative there was moth
ing Of the Bourbon in his composition. he
soon became obnoxious 10 the reactionary
section OF the Tories. II was the fashion
among newspapers to decry him as the
enfdm terrible of the party. SO many in
fluences aud prejudices were atrayed against
young Churchill that II he had not been Of
sterling stuff he would have been COM
pletely extinguished But contumely and
ridicule have only served to make his
final triumph more signal. He has shown
himself an excellent politician, especially in
tcihb "'iV w EViNciNtt 90 f'sioc'i '''i
that progress and not reaction was the
necessity of the age. Then in many re-
spects the most advanced Liberals have not
been far ahead of Lord Randolph Churchill
in their advocacy of domestic reforms. To
his influence must chiefly he attributed the
wise resolution Of the new government to
abandon the coercive policy in Ireland and
secure the home rule vote, which had be-
come satisfied Of the faithlessness Of Liberal
promises. In his treatment Of questions Of
foreign policy Lord Randolph has only voiced
the average sentiment of high-spirited Eng
lisbmen. II there were no other evidence
extant of his capacity for craftsmanship, the
speech delivered some weeks ago in the east
Of London would be conclusive. A more
masterly survey of the position of British
politics at home and abroad would be hard
to find. II was equally distinguished for
felicity Of expression, breadth of view, and
practical good sense. Since he has taken
Office Lord Randolph's utterances have been
wise, moderate, and dignified.

The appointment of Mr.. Stevenson, of 1lli-
nois, as First Assistant Postmaster General
is already reckoned by impartial observers
among the most judicious and fortunate acts
of the Administration. The new officer was
subjected TO severe test both by incurring
comparison with gentleman of such high
reputation as Mr.. Malcolm Hay, and at the
same time finding large accumulation of
work left over on account Of his predecessors
long absence and delicate health. lie has
been able TO more than fulfill the expecta.
tions formed about MIR. Hay, while attacking
the arrears of business with such en-
ergy that already the list Of new
appointments emanating from his office
within week after his taking charge
mounts up into the thousands. To despatch
such a bulk of details with such general ap-
proval and absence of ground for cavil, much
less serious complaint, speaks Of executive
ability of high order, to which is added
Mr.. Stevenson's experience while in Con.
gress and other qualifications. His popu-
larity is increased by his pleasant and un-
affected manner, an element of great impor-
tance in place where so many various and
conflicting interests are TO be recohciled, and
where it is necessary while acting rapidly
TO avoid giving any needless offense. In
his courtesy TO all Mr.. Stevenson rivals the
President himself, who sets such an example
to public servants, from the lowest to the
highest. The position of First Assistant
Postmaster General has become by the i'm
mense growth of the service one of the most
important under the Government, and it is a
pleasure to dwell upon the fact that it is
filled in a manner to reflect credit upon the
Democratic party and satisfy the country at
large. Further experience can only serve
to confirm these views in all who come in
contact with Mr.. Stevenson, and as he is al.
ways ready to see those who call upon bust
ness their number is legion.

journey to this country As II he were some prince
travelling ncognto he registered as Mr.. A. Seymour.
In New York he gave out that he could not sec any

seclusion. If this little plagiaris of musical
themes could understand how little the culti-
waited people of this great Republic know or care
about him he would be taken down peg
