THERE is one feature Of the in.
terestiug drama that is being play.
ed on the Southern stage ut present
that is especially interesting. The
old-timer lays bis hand kindly and
sympathetically on the shoulder of
the hopeful and enthusiastic youth
of today and says to him, with all
good intent: "Young man, don't
make a fool of yourself that great
enterprise about which you are
dreaming and expect to bob up
among the things that be some
pretty morning, is the same alluT-
ing will-o-the-wisp that your faith
ers have followed for twenty years
and given up 10 despair" That is
all very well, but they forget that
these young enthusiasts are be-
ginning not where they did, but
where they lett of and therefore
are nearer the journeys end. Let
them run. They will get there.

"Whatever highway may be con.

removed from the chance of dOmi-
nation by any single power, or TO

the construction, ownership and
operation of such q work by this
government, with an offensive aud
defensive alliance for its protection
with the foreign States whose re.
sponsibilities aud rights we would
share is, in my judgment, incOn-
sistent with such dedication to uni.
versal and neutral use, and would,
moreover, entail measures for its
realization beyond the scope of our
national policy or present means.'
In speaking of the
CHINESE QUESTION,
he recognizes the right of tho gov.
eminent to prevent their i%minigra.
ton into the United States and re.
commends further legislation to
that end. AT the same time de.
nounces the manner in which they
have been treated in some sof the

lection to them so far as 1t is with.

In speaking of our

he recommends legislation by Con-
gress necessary to carry into effect

the Senate. He asserts that a re-
duction of the

He regards nothing more import.

He refers to enormus abuses and
resulting from the present
node of compensating

aud recommends that some change
Of the present system be made for

In referring to the report of the

much to say about Jul

heir protection, management and
advancement, and calls the atten-
lion of Congress to many instances
wherein the laws now in force
are insufficient to accomplish these
purposes. In this connection he
has much to say, also with refer-
ence to the

he says that the homestead laws
Of the United States have been per-
Verted so that large quantities of

At the request of the Humane Society,
whose objects appeal to the sympathics and
command the respect of all good citizens,
and whose membership includes many of
the most honored residents of Washington,
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has consented
to be the custodian Of such funds as may be
contributed for the erection Of drinking
fountains at various convenient and appro-
pirate points throughout the city.
These fountains will be erected under the
direction of the Humane Society. They
will he ornamental in design, and will be
adapted to the wants Of "man and beast;"
will be so constructed as to supply water
for men, women, and children, for horses,
cattle, and dogs, and even for the spar
rows. The Potomac water has been purl-
fed, and is now wholesome beverage. 1t
should he available IN hundreds of locali-
ties where IL is not now obtanable for the
purposes we have named. 1t is the intent
of The REPUBLICAN that 1t shall be thus
available.
There is no other American city where
voting is so popular as in Washington. 1t
is the almost universally adopted method
of raising funds for benevolent and charita-
bic objects. Perhaps 1t might be less popu-
lar here Il we had election machinery in
vogue, but, be that as it may, It is, as we
have stated, the readicst and best means of
raising funds for public enterprises not
provided for by acts of Congress
In recognition of this strong tendency of
the public mind in Washington THE
REPUBLICAN proposes an election by bal
lot--at ten cents vote-betwcen the
Jacksonian motto ITO the vlctors belong
the spoils," aud the Cleveland maxim,
efficiency, fitness, and devotion to public
! duty are the conditions Of continuance in
| public place"
THE REPUBLICAN casts one hundred votes
| for the noble maxim of President Cleveland
ard the great reform for which that maxim
stands. We expect other Republicans and
civil service reform Democrats to vote with
us--ehch as many ballots as he or she de-
sres to cast at ten cents apiece
Jacksonian Democrats, rallying to their
old-time shibboleth, will vote for the old
theory.
Washingtonians and all others who are
interested in identifying the peoples
capital city, and who care to advance the
good work of the Humane Society, will
send or hand in their votes. Every dime
will count one ballot, and the name of each
contributor will be printed in THE REPUB.

The Rooi-Ribbcd Truth.

The ErcniRg star, of this city, comment
ing ON Secretary Manuug's praise Of the
treasury clerks, as reported in an interview
printed in The REPUBLICAN, yesterday, says;
Not only is the civil service of this govern.
mcnt the most honest, most capable, aud most
courteous of any public service in the world,
but there IS no private business of equal mag
nitude where the honesty aud efficiency ot the
service Is on such n high level Ifthc Demo.
Gratis intend TO upset the service, as reward
for political activity let them say so, honestly.
To mask grab for salary under a lofty regard
for reform IS "a very cowardly kind Of cant.
of course in such great multitude there arc
some drones and some rascals, and they should
be woedcd out; but the charge that the service,
as such, Is ON n low level is as false and almost
a. wicked libel as that other which assails
the character of the ladies who are in the EN-
ploy Of the government.
There is not word Of this earnest com
mondntion that is not strictly true. The
more intimately one inquiries into the
details Of departmental service in this city
the more thoroughly will he become con
vinced that It has been brought, by intelli.
gonco and fidelity, to high state of Ell.
cheney. The government has the service Of
corps of trained officials whose equals can.
not be found in the service Of any Other
government ON the globe. To attempt to
sweep them out and put inexperienced and
untried persons in their places would be to
adopt such policy as would be utterly
ruinous to any private business.
