citizen of Brooklyn writes to the news
papers complaining about the erection Of
stables in a residence section Of that city. One
case is cited where a man in spite of the almost
unanimous protests Of his neighbors decided
to consult his own interests and erect stable
The writer inquiries the board of health can
not prohibit the stable on the ground that IL Is
a menace to health. There are q number Of
stables in this city which are complained Of as
depreciating the value OF property and a.
constant source Of annoyance and discomfort
to residents in the immediate neighborhood
A change In the building regulations that will
restrict the erection Of such buildings, at least
in the closely built up sections Of the city,
would seem to be in line with modern sanitary
ideas.

never before has America had such a spectacle

can be no doubt that the Americans are
capable Of considerable originality in ship
design, as has been abundantly shown in some
of the recent additions to their navy. More
over, in every department Of mechanical indus
try to which their attention has been specially
directed they have shown themselves capable of
making great improvements. and We believe
that in certain respects some of their industries

The general public is but slightly interested
in the conclusions reached or to be reached by
the board of army officers whose duty it is to
select what it deems to be the best Of the many
magazine rifles submitted to it by inventors of
any or all nationalities, but the general public
is soon going to be deeply interested in the
charges which have, it is said. been made a. to
the Partially alleged to have been displayed by
members Of that board. These complaints
seem to have their origin among the
American inventors and some of the allega-
tions are such as may not be treated lightly
despite the fact that disinterested and un-
prejudiced people will be very slow to believe
that the officers whose fairness is being attacked
would discriminate in favor Of aliens. Some
time ago the board recommended the adoption
by the army of the Krag-Jorgensen gun, but
the recommendation was held in allegiance
because Americans claimed to have So
perior "shooting-irons" that were q trife
short Of complete. Time was given to
those who demanded it, and the board
is now studying the rifles recently submitted.
A correspondent who has probed deeply into
the trouble says that American inventors
complain of discourtesy and declare that the
action of the board throughout has been
such as to show very strongly that no
gun of American invention had any
chance of being recommended for adoption by
some of the members OF the old board, who
were bound, at all hazards, to stand by their
recommendation in favor of the foreign arm.
There will have to be pretty positive proof be-
fore any one who knows the intense American
ism Of the army officer believes a fragment Of
the nebulous assertions. Aninventor natur ally
insists that his product is superior to all others
and there are times when his opinion cannot
be upset. People sympathize with him and
understand his persistency. but they are few
who will join with him in his efforts to sully
the characters of those who stand ready at any
moment to fight for America AMI American
principles.

The citizens Of Northeast Washington will

grade crossing exists to obstruct travel and
endanger life. Their appeal for more perfect
precautionary arrangements at the crossings
should not go UNDECIDED, but the best that can

It is an absurd condition of affairs which will
be remedied If the recommendation of the civil
service commission is carried out. that the Dis
trict government derives no benefit from the civil
service law. The arguments made in behalf of
civil service reform and which were convincing
enough to secure from Congress the present
civil service law apply to no body Of public
servants with greater force than they do to the
employees Of the District government. The lot
of the District Official. as well of the Dis
trict employee has been probably rendered more
unhappy by the making Of civil service rules
which barricaded nearly every other branch
of the government and left this one
unprotected against the spoils hunter. The
various bureaus Of the District gov
srumsnt are business institutions, in
which the competency Of the clerks. whose
number is limited by the appropriation acts,
is . matter Of much Importance When inefh-
Gent clerks are appointed or retained in office
at the dictation Of political leaders the Districts
business and the District taxpayers suffer.
There il no political reason for delaying the
application Of the law to the District govern
ment, for by reason Of necessities which have
existed owing to the relations borne by the
District government TO Congress As well as 10
the executive, the patronage has been SO fairly
divided that it 10 never difficult TO make out

Obliged under the present system to give much

ways the application of the civil service rule to
the municipal Offices would be a distinct gain

tionment Of Offices prohibition against Office

applied. There would be . reduction to alb
