THE PRESIDENTS ORDER.

The President is out with an order
admonishlng all Federal oillce.holders
to steer clear of machine politics. The
principle which he desires to impress
upon heads of Departments and others
is that political action should be kept
free OF official coercion. 1t is u
very safe and good principle. Mr.
Hayes said as much In fewer words as
long ago as June, 1917, but for some
reason or other the Hayes mandate
never carried much weight with It,
The Republican committees kept right
along as usual collecting contributions
of office holders, and the Office holders
kept right along paying assessments,
manipulating caucuscs and doing cam.
paign work generally. until the prac.
ticc became an abuse and was inhibited
by law.
Had Civil Service Reform stopped
right here, it would have covered all
the legitimate ground It was originally
intended to cover, and all that needed
to be covered 1t is quite proper and
becoming that the several departments
of the Government should be run on
business principles rather than for par
tizan ends. But when the Civil Ser
vice Reformers went beyond this they
got out of their depth. A law which
places needless and frivolous condi-
tions upon the head of department
or other appointing power, as to his
freedom of selection, cannot result in
any lasting benefits to the service. 1t
is a sentimental theory and in the rush
and crush of political battle must
sooner or later give way to common
sense.
Mr.. Cleveland says: individual
interest and activity in political affairs
are by no means to be condemned" on
the part of office. holders, but "a proper
regard for the proprieties and require.
ments of official place will prevent
their assuming the active conduct OF
political campaigns" There are nice
lines of distinction here, and in the
interest of good government we trust
they will be religiously observed.

The Grant Memorial Bridge.

EDITOR CRITIC: am quite sure that
express the sentiments OF thousands of
patriotic citizens of the District and the
whole country when i say "thanks" for the
reproduction in your Saturdays issue Of
that exceedingly elegant and forcible edi-
torial of August 8, 80, on the subject OF the
"Grant Memorial Bridge" By this republi-
cation you attract attention to the fact
that you were the first to call the attention
of Congress and the country to this splendid
national project, which, when completed,
will give to the Nations Capital the grand
est memorial structure to be found in any
country. Bills have already.been favorably
reported in both Houses of Congress ap-
propriating half million dollars each for
monuments to Grant and Lincoln. Let
these amounts be devoted to the erection
of the Memorial Bridge and be dedicated to
those two saviors Of the Nation, and the
patriotic objects Of the movers OF those bills
will be more than doubly accomplished.
To those Of us more directly interested IN
free communication between the District
and Virginia this appears the first harbinger
of eventual success. The petty jealouses
OF local business and the still more hateful
cupidity Of property speculation have
seemed to conspire with the cunning OF a
defeat every effort to secure free intercourse
between these localities.
] believe that we can now rely upon the
sense of justice, the magnanimity, the
patriotism Of the representatives OF the
people Of the whole country to secure for
us locally that relief OF which the over
reaching skill Of the Aqueduct Bridge
Company and the want of common busine 's
sense of Georgetown obstructionists have
heretofore deprived us. ] bid you God
speed in your efforts to that end,

A lady and her son who reside in Com
monwealth avenue were recently seated In
railway station, when their attention was
drawn to woman who, as soon as she en-
tered, placed herself In front of the mirror,
and, with the apparent freedom of her own
room, adjusted the different parts OF her
dress, united and reted her bonnet,
tightened her shoe lacings, shook and re-
arranged her dolman, pushed to and fro
the bouifant part Of her skirt, at which
point the lady said to her son, sotto voce:
"Did you ever see such prlnklng ?n In a
few moments more the woman alluded TO
stepped In front Of the lady, looked her

A AUsOLEUaI.

1t is n crypt, this cabinet;
A love affair Is buried here;
Its requiem faint regret,
And scented letters for bier.
Its wreaths, dead roses interluced
With memories of bah and fete,
While for a headstone have pacsd
A portrait IN paper weight,
Here lie, as ashes In an urn,
A verse or two learned 10 quote,
The notes had no heart 10 burn,
our letters what lot we wrote
A silken tress Of sunny strands,
A ribbon that used 10 prize.
A gloye-she had such tiny hands
A miniature with deep, dark eyes.
'T'is with a smile yiewsto-day
The relics in this cabinet.
When love Is dead and laid away
We mourn little; then forget,
The verses quite have left my mind,
Her rose, her glove, her pictured eyes.
Her letters are to dust consigned:
Their fitting epitaph, Here iiss."

THE asuRPLusy RESOLUTION,

Mr.. Morrison's resolution for dis

yesterday by the whelming vote of
207 TO 81. OF the yeas, 11S were
Democrats and 61 Republicans; of the
nays, SO Republicans aud 10 Democrats;
so that party lines were not drawn with
much strictness. The resolution reads
as follows:
That whenever the surplus or balance In

ceed the sum Of $l00,000,000, 1t shall be,
and is hereby made, the duty of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to apply such excess,
in sums not less than ten millions per month,
during the existence of any such surplus o.
excess, to the payment of the interest-bear
ing Indebtedness Of the United States pay
able at the option of the Government.
1t is an honest measure in principle,
because it antagonizes the accumulation
of idle capital; but it will encounter
opposition in National banking circles
generally because of its tendency to
contract bank circulation There will
nevertheless be that much moro money
available for better Investment than in
United States bonds. The Senate will
hesitate before passing the resolution;
and should it pass, the President will
draw very long breath before signing
it. 1t is simply a question whether,
having the money to apply on our OBJ
legations, we had not better so apply
il, stop the payment of interest, and
divert the money thus locked up into
more profitable channels.
The response from New York this
morning is not enthusiastic. The Times
denounces the resolution as mere po-
litical maneuver, which Is likewise a
political blunder, with no prospect of
becoming law. The IE0rld notes its
passage as an unexpectedly big victory
for Morrison, but withholds comment.
The San and Star make no editorial
reference to the matter. The Herald
says it should be regarded as "a dan.
ger signal, like q low barometer
foretelling stormy weather." but il
predicts possible defeat in the Senate
and at any rate veto by the Presi
dent. The Tribune calls the passage
of the resolution can attempt to wreck
the financial credit of the Govern
ment."
The Philadelphia Press announce
the passage Of the resolution as ,
declaration of war against the fsca
policy of the President. The Time
pronounces it foolish and preposterous
The Senate will be heard from ii
due time. In any event there is M
danger Of q panic.
