in September of the same year cable which

Worthy of careful reading is the report,

select committee to establish the University of
the United States. The necessity for the estab-
hshment, under government control. of a great
and truly national institution of learning has
been urged repeatedly and with intelligent
force. but no action has ever been reached
COmmitteeshave expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the scheme (Which was originated
b. George Washington, and there are few pub

1t il extremely unfortunate for Washington
that the government Of the United States can
not make a satisfactory exhibit at the worlds
fair without impoverishing some of the collec-
tons which are such attractive local features
During the coming summer hundreds of thou
sands Of strangers will visit Washington and
but for the fact that the Capitol, the White
House, the broad and tree-shaded avenues, and
other material features Of which we are proud
are practically immovable, Washington would
have only little to interest the countless Amer
leans and foreigners who will surely be with US
before another winter comes. In its anxiety to
present a good showing each department will
send to Chicago the cream of its be-
longings, and as a result there will be
unsighuy gaps in the National Museum and
IN several other public-haunted buildings. The

The administrative change which commenced
to be on Saturday last and which is now most
active has resulted in separations more or less
painful, but it is probable that none Of these
caused greater regret than that which severed
the oficial relations Of Gen. J. II. Rusk and the
Agricultural Department. Popular as other
members of the Harrison cabinet were. none of
them were SO closely in touch with their subor-
dinates as was Secretary Rusk, and this was
evidenced by the handsome testimonial which
was yesterday evening presented to the general
by those who, for four wears, have very prop
erly regarded him as their friend. That he was
worthy such recognition is everywhere adj
mitted. American in fiber and sentiment. a

With an aprearsnce Of confidence that !.

With an appearance Of confidence that Is
nothing more than appearance and that entirely
fails to conceal a real uneasiness the spoilsmen
and their organs are engaged in calling stten-
ton to q hypothesis Of their own As to that por
ton Of President Cleveland's inaugural address
in which the chief magistrate resfirmed his
devotion to the cause Of civil service reform.
They want to know why the friends OF good
government should rejoice and be exceeding
glad when il has for n long time been evident
that an invasion Of the departmental clerical
force was impossible. The answer should be
as plain to the spoismen il Is to the believers
in busine.slike administration Of public af
airs No one looked for the 'clean sweep
which the ofice-hungry would delight in, but it
possible that great political pressure might
compel the President to silence on such i'm
portant topic and thus give encouragement to
ravening wolves who would if it were possible
tear down the fence and devour the flock OF
helpless ones whose sole ofense Was fidelity to
the best interests OF q great government But
the President was not silent He made his posi-
ton Enthusiastically plain, paid appropriate
tribute to the equity aud usefulness of the rules
which. during his first term, he extended and
strengthened materially, and now, at the COM
menCenleut OF dhotutt periOu W COHbAoi NC
foreshadows more disappointment for those
who are struggling to reach the political Marah
whose sweet-tasting waters deceive the thirsty.
President Clevels nd s inconsiderate principles
for with him words mean something have
wrought dismsy. Not content with saving
that civil service reform had found place in
the public policy and laws because it secured
the fitness and competency of appointees to
Office he called attention to the fact that it also
had for its object the removal from political
action of ''ths demoralizing madness for spoils"
and thus intimated what may be expected Of
him. Then came that knockdown sentence:
1.-The benefits already gained through this in
strumentality, and the further usefulness it
promises, entltle it to the hearty support and
encouragement of all who desire to our
pubiN service well performed. or who hope for
the elevation of political sentiment and the
publication of political Methods which
means that the scope of the rules will be
extended and that the spirit which is to
animate the administration will not be of the
ward-boss type. 1t is true that there are
thousands Of federal officers now unprotected
but there will be fewer such four years hence
II the spoilsmen can extract any satisfaction
out Of the abundance they imagine is now
within their reach they are welcome to it. To
the unprecedented bystander it seems as though
some people were whistling to keep their cour-
age up. but what weak, wsvering, unmelodious
sort Of q whistle it is.
