Home Builders and Heelers.

From Good Government
1t is gratifying to learn from Secretary Car
isles own lips that there is no truth in the re-
port OF his intention to weed out Of the treas
ury the clerks who now claim the District Of
Columbia rs their legal residence till they shall
be reduced to their proper numerical proper
ton to the clerks hailing from other states and
territories.
The whole theory Of making geographical To-
cation test OF merit is absurd, and its sur
vivai Is standing reminder that the spoils evil
has not yet lost its hold. But il geography is
to be factor at all. the logic Of the case is all
IN favor of retaining, rather than dismissing,
those clerks who have surrendered their resi-
dence elsewhere and become citizens of the
District. Indeed, we might even go 20 far AS
to favor the plan OF ex-Commissioner Oberly
to make such change compulsory upon every
person who accepts place under the govern
ment at Washington.
The clerk who Of his own accord becomes
citizen Of the District is as q rule thrifty. His
change OF residence is usually the result Of
his marrying, beginning to rear a family and
wishing 10 own home in the same place where
he earns his bread. Such q man works harder
and makes q better public servant than his
neighbor whose interests are divided between
his temporary and his permanent abode and
who Is always in condition OF being prepared
for fight
The greatest difference between the two
clerks, however, is apparent about election
time. The mere sojourner has his mind full Of
home politics the regular resident has nothing
but his work for the government to think Of.
The former interrupts his routine Of duty to 90
home aLd vote, the latter sticks to his desk.
All clerks who make their permanent resi-
dence in Washington are not home builders.
and all who cling to their former associations
are not heelers, but it IL easy enough to guess
for the best material from which to ill his

The Eloquent Argument OF Mr.. Carter
Before the Paris Tribunal.

The Eloquent Argument OF MI. Carter
Before the Paris Tribunal.
After TIE STARS report Of the Boring sea
tribunal at Paris closed yesterday Mr.. Carter,
continuing his argument, admitted that the
fact that pelagic sealing was wrong did not
give the United States the right to interfere,
but he contended that when it was proved that
such sealing seriously injured the American in
dustry it became the duty Of the United States
to stop the practice. Lord Salisbury had con-
tended that only piracy justified the seizure Of
vessels on the high seas; but both piracy and
the slave trade had been suppressed because
they were injurious to humanity at large. He
failed TO see how they differed from pelagic
sealing, which was also injurious to humanity.
After luncheon Mr.. Carter. in concluding
his recital. briefly recspitulated the genesis and
various heads as far as it affected the regula-
ton Of the industry.
He then proceeded to the question Of the
right Of the United States to protect its sealing
interests aud industry.
This portion of his address was the most
effective piece Of oratory heard since the open
ing Of the court Of arbitration and was deliv-
cred with great dignity and impressiveness.
Mr.. Carter began by declaring that however
valuable to the United States the seal herd
might be its greatness a. . nation forbade Its
accepting any decision unless founded upon the
principles Of justice. He was convinced that
Great Britain shared these views and de-
manded only q decision dictated by these
principles. The decision. said Mr.. Carter,
ought to be monument for fu-
ture generations. He appealed to the
members of the court to dismiss from their
breasts every feeling Of Partially. and to give
Judgment, not citizens OF any particular
country, but as citizens Of the world The
question at stake was a moral one. The con-
troyersy. however. was one between nations.
The particular code OF morals Of either coun-
Try, therefore. was inadmissible. The tribunal
must base its decision upon great moral prin-
ciple common to all humanity.
Mr.. Carter bad not finished when the court
adjourned.

Apparently Room for Reasonable Doubt.
George kinard (colored) was found guilty
yesterday at Columbia. s. c., OF committing
rape on Mrs. Addison, white woman. living
at Irmo, and was sentenced to hang May &c.
When asked il he had anything to FAY why the
death sentence should not be imposed he said
Il am just as innocent any man in this court
house. l never had any evil designs against any
white woman i'll my life. 1t is curious that
should wait until was over sixty Yeas old to
attempt such a crime this. D"
To the jury he said God will hold you re-
sponsible for that verdict"
On his trial 1t sought to be established
that foot tracks leading from the place where
the crime committed were his. but an ex-
hibition of his bare feet In court disproved it.
1t was also sworn that the assaiiant had
whistled about the time OF the assault. but Kin
ard had two front teeth out and it demon
strated that this precluded whistling. The
woman, however, swore to his identity unhesi-
tatingly, and that sealed his fate.

COnhrIned as BOSTON Police COMMISSIONED.
The executive council has confirmed Robert
F. Clark, Gov Russelrs nominee for Boston
police commissioner to succeed Gen. W. NJ.
Osborne. whose term expires May /, the vote
being to 1. All tine republican members.w with
the exception OF David Hall Rice, voted with
the one democratic councillor, Mr.. Donovan,
for confirmation.
lively conflict was expected between the
governor and council on this issue, but no OBJ
lection could be made to Clark on grounds of
personal fitness. and he is vouched for as q
good republican. though he has never been in
politics. Had Clark been rejected Gov. Russell
would have been the inevitable democratic
nominee for governor again, seeking vindica-
ton by the peoples votes. This is now very
doubtful, and republicans claim that they have
taken from the democrats their only cam paign
cry. which means the election of a republican
governor next fall.

A City's Affairs in a MIDDLE.

The affairs Of the municipality Of Cleveland,
Ohio, are in a state bordering on anarchy.
There is a mayor and nothing more. 1t was
thought the term of Office of the directors of
the different departments Of the city expired
when the mayor went out Of Office. Legal au-
thorities say that such is not the case. In the
meantime three directors have resigned and
three hang on. The mayor does not know
whether to recognize the latter or not. The
officers that he appointed have not been con-
frmed by the council, which is republican, and
the chances are they will not be. At present
subordinates in Office are running the city s
affairs There can be no solution of the mud
die until the republicans In the council are
willing to give in. and they not likely to
after the unexpected assumption of office by
Mayor Blee a week ahead of the usual time.

MANY CASES OF GRIP,
Several Have Proved Fatal-what statisti-
can Moore says on the City's Health.

Several Have Proved Fatal-what statisti-
can Moore says on the City's Health.
Ten deaths from the grip were reported here
last week and during the first four days of this
week five deaths from that disease have been
reported
Mr.. Moore. the statistician Of the health de-
partniens. who has charge of the work of study
ing the diseases and making up tables OF. deaths
for the department, said today that although
there had been a great many deaths from the
grip be saw no reason to be alarmed about the
disease.
Two years ago this month he said. the dis
ease was a. its maximum and he thought such
was the case for this year and that from now on
the disease will gradually die out. Last week
most of the victims were old persons.
but this week, said Mr.. Moore, they are about
middle age. Some of the deaths have been
those of persons who had the grip one or two
years ago and who have been unable to stand
another attack upon their nervous system.
Mr.. Moore is firm believer in the germ
theory. and to a STAR reporter he said that the
germ seems 10 develop during the warm spells
following cold or damp weather. In many cases
it follows severe cold. and when the grip takes
hold IL attacks the vital parts. Often it is car
ried to the kidneys, then to the lungs and finally
TO the brain
The grip. he thought has lost its fatal form,
for while there are, perhaps, a great many cases
the deaths are comparatively few. The same.
he added. might be said of diphtheria and scarlet
fever. and, singular as it may seem for this
son of the year. the city. said Mr.. Moore, is
free from malarial influences
This city is no doubt the healthiest city in
the United States he said AT present the
city is in = splendid condition. and the work of
the Sanitary League, well as those employed
as inspectors under the health officer, will only
tend to greatly improve its condition for the
coming not weather.
Concerning the cholera scare, Mr. Moore is
OF the opinion that the cholera will visit this
country this summer and he is equally certain
that Washington will not be q sufferer. He
remembers the cholera of 1892 and Al. when. he
says. tins worst OF the disease was along the
banks Of rivers where there was limestone.
The waters in the rivers became low and per-
sons. of course. drank it Just the same as they
had before. The pure water was not there and
they were drinking powerful medicine which
operated on their bowels and caused SO many
deaths.
