We publish to-day the decision Of the
District commissioners upon the charges
preferred by Mai Walker against Lieut..
Arnold. A careful reading of the reasons
which induced their action will make most
unfavorable impression upon the public
mind. To us II seems Illogical and unjust,
All through their statement bears evidence
OF q desire to favor Maj. Walker.
They compliment him upon his good
taste in offering his resignation aud in
the face Of what they call perjured testi.
mony. Webster said upon a memorable
occasions "Suicide Is confession" In this
case resignation is confession. Our respect
for the commissioners as gentlemen of high
character induces us to forbear crtcsing
their decision and report in the language
1t deserves. They have, however, further
duty to perform to the public, and that is
to secure the indictment CT Arnold and
Kelly for perjury, and let the case be tried
in open court. This will give those officers
an opportunity to uuearth all the facts
that are now hidden from public view. II
Arnold and Kelly have told the truth, as
public opinion believes they have, they
will have chance to vindlcate
their characters from the terrible
charge which is made. AS for Mai.
Walker, we sympathlze with him, because
he attempted to I'LL position beyond his
experience and ability. lie committed n
blunder so gross as to shock public sentl.

Of The nation. President Cleveland is en-
titled to commendaton for demanding this
investigation in such manner as to pre-
vent its being whitewashed.

REAL MERIT REWARDED.
Gen. Jones, Formerly Consul ht Ma
Easaki, Promoted TO chin Kiang.


wAsHINGToN, Nov. 2S.-President Cleveland
has recently fulfilled promise which will
probably attract as much attention generally as
any executive act Of his administration. one
year ago Mr.. A. G.. Jones, consul at Nagasaki,
Japan, was recalled after six years efficient
service at that point Officers Of the navy and
travellers in the cast regardless of political
continents represented that the removal OF
sular service in that country, aud that no one
had supported the American flag with more
honor. ability, and dignity than Gen. Jones.
PROMISE KEPT.
Upon his return TO Washington President
Cleveland SAID to his friends that he had made
an uneXcepuonable record, and that he In
tended TO send him back at the very first oppor.
tunty. President Cleveland has not only
kept his word, but assigned Gen, Jones 10 Chin
Riong. China, a higher position than that of
Nagasaki. This is the first time In Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration that an officer appointed
by previous administration and. removed,
hns, upon his merit alouc, been not only re-
stored but promoted in the service. Consul
Jones has received official notice his appoint
| ment, and will leave for Chin Kiang the latter
part OF December.
The foregoing dispatch published In the
New York Herald Of yesterday is heartily
Endorsed in this city, where Gen. Jones Is so
well and favorably known. His record Of
seven years. service as consular officer is
not second TO that OF any other official In
| that service, and, while abroad, Gen. Jones
elevated the American flag to loftler posi-
