SECRETARY TRAcY'S SPEECH IN BOSTON.

SECRETARY TRACY'S SPEECH IN BOSTON.
In this issue we print in full the interesting
address delivered last Wednesday by Secretary
Tracy in Boston. 1t deserves to be read by
every American who wishes to know what the
Administration has done and is doing in the
conduct of public affairs. It's fair, moderate
tone, its candor and simplicity make it model
report to the people. 1t. is distinguished as
greatly by modesty and liberality as by lofty
and patriotic spirit. The Secretary undertakes
to give a plain account of the record made by
the executive branch Of the Government, and
he speaks with authority.
There have arisen within the last few weeks
distinct and remarkable indications of public
favor toward the Administration and the Presi-
dent personally. 1t is characteristic OF our peo-
pie to maintain a critical, almost distrustful,
position toward every Administration in the
FIST years of it's work. They neither strongly
condemn nor warmly approve, but each act Of
Government is looked at sharply and judgment
for or against it is quietly formed and set in
its proper place upon a mental balance-sheet
and at about this time an accounting is made
and q thin atmosphere OF favor or hostility
gradually arises and spreads over the land. The
treatment accorded President Harrison has not
materially differed from that which each of his
predecessors experienced. The Democracy un-
doubtedIy has been more than usually ugly. and

too unparliamentary to be employed in the SER
| vice Of the liquor dealers.

AS the report elsewhere printed shows, Pres
dent Harrisons journey is punctuated with
those inimitable little speeches for which he has
such a marked gift. lie spoke yesterday at
half dozen places where his train halted IN
Virginia and Tennessee. While essentially
different in style and manner, the brief ad-
dresses were all pertinent, tactful and well re-
ceived, and breathed the spirit Of lofty patriot
ism, besides showing the Presidents deep sense
of the responsibility imposed by his great Office
No one can afford not to read Mr.. Harrisons
speeches. Fortunate are the people who have
the rare privilege of hearing them.

THE MAYOR, TIE PEOPLE IND THE
STRELTS

Mayor Grant expresses the belief that there
has lately been great Improvement in the con-
dition of the streets. We do not agree with
him. On the contrary, we judge from observa-
ton and report that they were never filther,
more Uttered and more encountered than they
are at the present time. And yet, there is sub
stantal reason for hoping that new era has
dawned with the formation of the Street-Clean-
ing Aid Society, which has large membership
already, and which presented to the Mayor on
Monday cogent statement and appeal. This
society exists for the purpose of enlisting the
individual efforts of citizens and thereby Great
ing an immense auxiliary force Of public opin-
ion. In its objects and organization it is sim
liar to the village improvement societies which
within recent years have absolutely transformed
numerous settlements in different parts of the
county, but chiefly in New-England, we be-
lieve. In small communities the educational
process started by this means effects great re-
sulis swiftly In city like New-York it must
necessarily be comparatively slow, but its opera
ton and growth are essential to q solution OF
the problem.
1t is, of course, conceivable that at some period
in municipal life capacity enthusiasm and au-
thorty may be so generously combined in an
executive as to enable him to carry out a great
public improvement in the face of indifference
or hostility and so ultimately to create popular
sentiment by accomplished facts. But such an
achievement If possible under despotsm is not
to be expected in a republic. In a community
IKE this the popular demand must come first,
and our chief difficulty always has been the acl,
of intelligent public sentiment on the side Of
clean streets 1t is only within few years that

Senator Edmunds has filed his high Office Tor
twenty-five years, and his eminent colleague,
Senator Morrill,, has been in the Senate only one
year less, and in last October was reelected for
the six years beginning on March a, 1901. 1t
is most admirable habit which Vermont has Of
choosing excellent men for Senators and keeping
them in office term after term. If Secretary
Proctor is chosen to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr. Edmunds's retirement, shis many friends and
admirers will heartily wish for him equally
long and honorable term of service with his
predecessor and colleague. To the country at
large no other selection could seem fitting
as this.

The Presidents action in placing a portion
of the Indian service under the Civil-servce
rules will be commended by fair-mnded men
of all parties. The order issued prior to his
denarture from Washington applies to superin-
tendents and assistant superintendent, school
teachers, physicians and matrons. This is the
first practical step taken toward divorcing our
indian Service from politics. President Har-
ri.on evidently has considered it earnestly, and
his action represents his mature Judgment on
the question. After this entering wedge it will
be easier to place the entire Indian administra-
ton on non-partsan plane.
