Bush tsuildinv Said tn Re SAFE.

Ever since the disaster at the old Ford bull d.
ing the clerks in the money order division OF the
post office. that occupies the Bush building on
Z street between 7th and sth streets, have been
nervous about the condition Of the
walls of that structure. A number
OF cracks have been found in the
plaster that have received good deal OF
attention from the clerks. Yesterday after
noon M other crack was noticed in the north
wall on the second floor in room number 8.
This has caused some little talk. but hardly any
real alarm. The architect of the building was
called in and stated that the crack was merely
in the plaster work and not in the wall at all.
He pronounced the building pefectly safe, al
though it is to be entirely overhauled some
time in the near future.

Consular Appointncnta.

As sa result of the enormous pressure brought
to bear upon the Department Of State nearly
one-third of the United States consuls abroad
have been changed. There are about 300 con-
suls in the service, but, owing to the small
compensation attached to q number Of the
places and the difficulty of securing compe-
tent persons who are willing to accept them,
the number of really desirable posts, paying
not less than 800 per annum. does not ex-
csed $50, and Of these the President has made
changes up to June 15 in the case Of So con-
sulutes.

Today.
Senior Cana, the Chilean minister, was for
mally presented to the President by the Secre-
tary of State this afternoon. 1t is expected
that Secretary Gresham and Minister Cana will,
in few days, draw up letter TO the president
of the Swiss confederation requesting the ap-
pointment by him Of the third member of the
United States and Chilean joint commission to
settle the iong-pending claims OF the citizens Of
the two countries. The letter will be signed by
both gentlemen, and as there is necessity for ex-
pedition the matter will probably be conducted
by cable. The impression here is that the Swiss
minister at Washington will be selected as he
representative Of the Swiss government on the
commission.

The news of Senator stanford's death was
received in Washington with some degree of
surprise, although all his friends knew
that his advanced age and feeble
health augured his decease within no
very great period Of time. Senator
Stanford was last in Washington in April. He
was very feeble ard seemingly on the verge Of
dissolution. He called on President Cleveland
at that time, and a number Of Congressmen
who saw him at the White House sorrowfuIly
predicted that the end was not far of.
For several years past Senstor Stanford hss

REFORM THAT REFORMS

1t is reported from Washington that
the administration has determined to
make such clean sweep in the offices
as has never before been known, and
that not only the officials who always
expect to go when the administration
changes, but the officials of the execu-
tive departments whose tenure of Office
has always been considered for life or
during good behavior are to be dis
missed.
1t is stated that in the state depart
ment there have already been more
changes than have been made before
for twenty five years, and that the work
has bat just begun. Mr.. Gresham has
already proved his capacity to fill the
position that he got for being false to
his party, and can give the ordinary
Democratic headsman points.
The good work is being carried into
the other departments, and the proba-
bility is that by the time 1t is completed
there will not be Republican in Office
There is no ground to expect the ad-
ministration to display any tenderness
toward the Republicans in Office, to be
sure, and the Republicans will not COM
plain that they are not to have any of
the employment the government has for
some of its people. The danger of such
a course as has been entered upon lies in
the extreme Generalization it is GER
tain to bring into the public business.
The old and experienced employees of
the departments scarcely participated
in partisan politics at all, but they un-
derstand the public business, and it
will be found that the unctuous activity
of men like 10. Quincy will not atone
for their loss.
The civil-service feature Of the course
the administration has taken may be
left without much comment, as moth
ing that could be said could by any
possibility make the professions Of the
President appear less in line with his
action.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-04-29
A CONFESSION AND A WARNING.

A CONFESSION AND A WARNING.
The presence of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle in New York will
have accomplished much good il the
statements attributed to them regard
ing an issue of bonds and the calling of
an extra session can be relied upon.
1t is however only the definite settle
ment Of these most important questions
rather than the method of their settle
ment that calls for favorable comment.
Ii is not exaggerating to say that the
uncertainty and vacillation with which
the President and hts advisers have met
these two questions has caused a gen.
eral and noticeable stagnation of busi-
and would have resulted in a more Sc
rious loss had 1t not been for the excel
lent effects of the anticipated prosperity
due the Columbian fair. Now that
the public is informed of the govern
ment's disposition toward the fiscal poll
cy business men may make such prepar-
ations for the impending changes as
they see fit, with the confidence that
they know, at least partially. what to ex-
pect from this administration and when
to expect it.
But having eliminated this element
OF uncertainty by positive statements,
President Cleveland and his secretary
of the treasury have done little else to
inspire confidence in their determine
tion to finally remedy the difficulties of
the situation. The futility Of a bond
issue, unless it should be disposed Of
abroad, needs no further emphasis in
these columns, and the conclusion
which Mr.. Carlisle has reached that
no bonds are 10 be issued, is
worthy of commentator. Yet while
no bonds are to be issued
he says that the administration has de-
termined upon a policy of inaction in
order that the country may learn by ex-
perience the evils Of silver purchase
law, and that public opinion after such
experiment in disaster may force con-
gress to act. And Mr.. Cleveland has
decided to call no extra session 10 meet
the emergency until September.
1t is doubtful IL the history Of the
country ever presented such case Of
openly confessed incapacity for govern
ment as is shown by these decisions.
Both the President and the secretary
acknowledge the pressing need OF
remedy. Beth are aware of the fact
that disaster must follow course Of
inactivity such as is mapped out by
them. Selected by the people TO carry on
the government, TO provide for just such
emergencies as the present, and TO fore.
see and prevent any dangers that may
threaten, these government officials
stand before their constituents and
assure them that they will initiate no
remedy viii take no precautionary
measures 70 avert the disaster, but
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-04-29

will calmly wait until the results
Of that disaster shall have compelled
themselves and congress to try to re-
pair the losses after they have occurred.
Congress is not to be summoned at once
to meet the danger, but only after the
trouble has settled itself by depreciation
of values and the panic which is certain
to follow the uninterrupted action OF
the silver purchase law.
The public will naturally feel some
cause for alarm at this unstatesmanlike
policy of Mr.. Cleveland. They will
want to know why, If the danger is ap-
parent, he takes no steps to prevent it..
They will also want to know what
has become of his pledges in favor
of honest money and his boasted
personal influence by which measures
that he favored were to be passed by
congress without comment.
