There are two Presidents in Washington-
one still possessed of the high sanction of his
Office, but in a few days to resign it to a sue
cessor-the other Invested with apparent title
to the place and soon to enter into his right.
The heavy burden of executive responsibility
is to be shifted from the shoulders of the one
to the other. The duty of the Presidency
weigh upon body, mind and soul, but if the
burden is manfully upheld the reward is COM
mensurate with the labor. The President of
the United States lives in the white heat at the
focus of all civic duty. He is less the man, or
the individual, than he is the people
and the nation. What they are underlies
his action. If along the lines Of his public SER
vice stand the golden milestones that mark
duty well performed he may lave his tired
and thirsty spirit In the sweet satisfaction of
having done what was his to DO. II he bears
the peoples burden well, he cannot be cheated
OF his reward. To him who sends widening
down into the national life an example of JUS
tice, virtue, wisdom, and self sacrifice there are
rewards that eternity only can bound or
fatEom.

There is one reform which Gen. Harrison
owes to himself if not to the public. IL is the
absolute adjustment Of handwriting at White
House receptions. Their frequency and thevast
jam OF people who attend in the desire to see the
Presidential family subject the President to an
ordeal that few athletes could endure. William
Henry Harrison was so injured by Handwriting
at bis Inauguration that he had to have wooden
box or rest made to relieve the pain. presi-
dent Lincoln's right arm was nearly palsied by
too much hand-shaking, and he had difficulty
in writing with ii. Gen. Grant wore bandages
on his right arm for months before and
after he was President, in conse-
quence Of this violent American habit.
George Washington submitted to his cabinet
the question whether he should shake hands at
his receptions, and it was concluded that a
slight bow answered all demands upon execu-
tive manners. Gen. Harrison should follow
that example just as soon as he has a cabinet
to which he may turn for advice.

The broken and shattered case of the Lon
den Times against Parnel will not reach its end
until Mr.. Parnell and his supporters turn upon
the paper with civil and criminal actions for
libel Upon the evidence taken by the COM
mission the result of such proceedings is a
fOregone conclusion. No defense is possible
for the managers of the Times. They are liable
for the immense costs to which they have put
Parpen for the attempted injury to reputation,
and perhaps they can be punished for con-
sprracy. These consequences of too eager
desire to convict the Irish leaders of crime will
fall with terrible force.

Words are inadequate TO express the disgust
OF this community at the showing made and
the prospect presented by the report Of the
congressional committee on the aqueduct tun-
mel. II the United States had decided to ex-
tend the water-works at the national expense,
just as the original works were constructed,
the people of the District would feel only the
indignation of all American citizens at the ex-
posure of fraud practised upon the govern
ment, involving a loss which touches only
slightly the individual citizen. But the
District has a special grievance in this
matter. By legislation the nation has made
the District an equal partner in this construc-
ton so far as paying the bills is concerned, but
has decided for itself what the work should
cost, how it should be conducted and who
should be entrusted with it. Under the con-
troll Of agents Of the general government, who
form no part of the government of the District
and are not in any respect accountable to it
and for whose acts the District is not at all re-
sponsible, the work has dawdled along, the cost
enormously increasing beyond the amount of
the original estimates with each delay. On ex-
animation the work thus accomplished with
the waste of months of time and a heavy ex-
penditure Of money is found to be practically
worthless. The agents of the government
have not even, it is stated, secured their
employers by requiring bond from
the contractors to construct the tunnel
lining according to the specifications. Ina
bility to force the contractors to replace the
rotten lining becomes an argument for the en-
tire abandonment of the costly tunnel and for
a scheme Of furnishing the needed increase in
the water supply by q surface aqueduct, the
District undoubtedly to share one-haH the ex-
peDse Of the new plan, we'll as one-half of
the loss from the abandonment of the old.
The District tenders freely to everybody whose
neglect of duty has contributed to this result,
and to everybody responsible for this disgrace
full acknowledgement, the assurance of a total
absence of its distinguished consideration. Per-
haps the United States can afford to swell
enormously the estimates of the cost of work
Of this kind, to permit fraudulent and
worthless work to be imposed upon it at ex-
travagant prices, to allow its agents to neglect
to compel security for the faithful performance
of the agreements of contractors, to abandon
outright millions of dollars of labor and incur
fresh expense in a new plan. The District can
not afford it. The involuntary silent partner
of the United States in this transaction enters
vigorous protest. Instead of taking the Dis
tricts surplus to pay for tunnel which it is now
proposed to abandon because the nations
agents have permitted it to be cheated and
have failed to protect it by exacting the neces-
sary bonds. the cost of the rotten, worthless
work should be removed entirely from the Dis
triet, which is not at fault, and assumed by the
nation, which. through its agents, has caused
and is responsible for the loss.

easier job than those who have recorded the
achievements Of his predecessors. Imagina-
ton only can picture the incidents of Lincoin's
memorable journey to the capital, but photo
graphic accuracy will be available for the
description Of Gen. Hsrrison's coming. Every
