STATESMEN are human They have
faults and frailties like other people,
like doctors for instance. and they Try
TO conceal them. It is seldom they try
TO correct them. OF course there art
various sorts and degrees of statesmen,
Just as there are various degrees of rich
ness to loans, till one comes down to
absolutely worthless sticky mud. There
are statesmen who, lacking the qualities
Of sense and honor TO make themselves
important on the right side Of ques
tion, get on the wrong side and commit
disreputable acts Finding that they,
themselves. have become disreputable
these pesby statesmen seek to redeem
their regulations by sensational excur-
sions in other directions. Like the quack
doctors who have not the knowledge
and skill to make correct diagnosis
to discover the source Of a
patients pain, they administer a counter
irritant-excite another pain in another
place to make the silly patient forget
the original pain. One wise doctor al
though charlatan-kept concoction
that would cure fits. No matter what
i'll victim complained of this shrewd
man FIRST threw him into FITS and then
used his panacea for fts. If the victim
survived he was happy; If not, well-he
was too dead TO talk These statesmen
who are going into such great ecstatic
raptures Of excited Americanism, by
advocating annexations Of Hawaii, Can
ada, Hayti and Africa, are prac-
tically throwing the popular patient
into FITS they are hiding their own vast
and comprehensive ignorance Of the
whole subject Of materia medica of
political economy; or, worse still, they
are concealing bad records.

We had an illustration Of what ''pro.
gressive Americanism" means in 1870.
when certain spectators and Grant
tried to annex Santo Domingo It was
represented then, that all that was
necessary to make this country sym-
metrical, beautiful, prosperous and
happy was 10 annex Santo Domingo.
Our ships could not go anywhere with
out running into that island All
courses led there. All the great powers
Of Europe had their paws extended
ready to seize the islands. If these
United States did not send ships and
men, Immediately. all would be lost.
There was nothing TO lose hence they
did not specify These intensely patrio
tic fellows never specify; that is too
much like talking sense They simply
scream, in different harsh tones, the
various and impossible cslamities that
will occur.
We did not annex santo Domingo;
there was no reason why we should have
done So And none of the dreadful
calamities predicted so vigorously has
attacked US.
We are here still; greater, stronger
and fussier than ever. No foreign power
has taken possession of the islands, built
Notifications and trained guns at Miss
Liberty. She stands as upright and
ugly as ever without either lodging or
winkiug. She is not scared She is no
more afraid Of English guns than of
French crinoline.
Meantime we have all the maritime
rights and privileges we need. When
we need more we shall still be great
enough, rich enough, and influential
enough to obtain them sensibly, justly,
honorably We cannot afford to do an
undignifed or a discreditable thing.
We will not do a dishonorable thing.
We do not need any of these countries.
We are not compelled to seize them.

LETTERS From THE PEOPLE.
Patchwork aud Politics.

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
SIR:-As the Street aud Sewer Depart
ment is now claiming the attention of
large number of persons, many of whom
appear 20 want some change in its per

ship will you kindly allow me to say a
few words in relation to the subject
When this department OF the city gov
ernment was established there WAS a
general belief among the taxpayers hat
the money Of the city had. TO a consider
able extent, been frttered away and
wasted by want Of system in the work
and by the absence of sound business
methods in the expenditure. They
believed that there was too much politics
in all the public work aud too much
patchwork on the streets and sewers
They believed this could be remedied by
appointing men especially for this work,
as had been done in the case of the
water supply. They had begun to see the
good effects of sound business methods as
applied to the management of the Water
Department and they hoped for like
/ good results when the same methods
should be put in practice in the work
| upon the streets and sewers. IL is Only
fair to say that this hope has, in a gieat
measure, been rea lied. A comprehen-
sive system of sewerage has been
begun which when perfected. can be
extended TO meet the needs Of the city
as It grows. Improved methods Of
street paving have been adopted and, so
far as the work has gone and been
tested, IL appears to be thoroughly salts.

philadelphia, Thursday. March 2. 1893
The weather to-day is likely
to be clear.

The selling of ready-made
Dresses is a great interest in
this store. But it has only be-
gun. The enterprising policy
that marked up the sales SO
grandly each season last year
will make cumulative progress.
The sales are certain if stock
and prices are right. The lat
ter is ours, the former yours,
to care for.
Witness the stock of Wo-
mems Dresses. Not an old
Dress among them.
Fashion is imperious, this
season radical. Already the
Dresses of last Spring are
passe. You can almost recite
modern French history in the
styles of the new Dresses.
The Skirts are of the Um-
brella and 1890 styles, the
bodices are of the periods of
the Empire and the Restora-
ton, of Charles X and Louis
Philippe. The court of good
Queen BeSS also contributes
to the contingent.
The Columbus epoch has its
touch upon Women's Dress.
The little Bodices or Jackets
are decidedly of Spanish origin
and are suggestive of senoras
and boleros, Zingari and gypsy
dancers. Gold embroidery
gives brilliance to the Jackets.
This Dress talk is only a
little hint, just a sort of casual
introduction. Later on more
news of them. Meantime look!
Book News for March has a
plate paper portrait of George
Macdonald, Ii. d., poet and
novelists. All the other fea-
lures are fully up to the stan
dard-which means the best of
their kind in the world. Fair,
free and full handling of what
ever topic is topmost in literary
circles is in the every-month
course of Book News; so is
such a presentation of the New
Books as no other magazine
affords.
