FIREMAN crlpples Is the contemptu-

employed in the Street Cleaning Department.
and whom. as 1t says. the new Commissioner
is going to get rid Of The men who WELD the
broom and shovel on our streets do not d.
serve to be thus epoken OF. There are among
them few poor old citizens. but even these
work hard: their pay is small; they earn their
money; they are discharged II they fail to do
their set duty. Only Mugwump could be so
mean or base as to sneer at them. They
should be kept In the service while they
are needed. and while they do the work
for which they are hired. We have
never seen any cripples among them: but
even cripples should not be prevented from
earning an honest living by hard work. or be
driven to the poorhouse when they are anx-
ious to keep out OF 1t. II the new Commir-
sioner finds that there are any cripples on his
pay roll. he ought to ascertain. before he gets
rid Of them. whether they are faithful and
capable servants OF the public. and whether
he has need Of their services. and whether
they deserve such pay as they may get.
The municipality or the Street Cleaning De-
pnrtment is not bound to give work to people:
but 1t has the right to employ such available
people as arc required for the conduct Of its
business under the laws.
The vast majority Of the men who are hired
to clean our streets are able bodied and toll
some. The new Commissioner should not be
unfair toward the few among them who are
less stalwart and youthful than they once
were. 1t is his part to hold every man to his
duty. and see to 1t that each one earns his
wauaa.

The Editor and the Statesman.

Mr.. HoKE SMITHS newspaper, the Atlanta
Journal prints from day to day the fiatter-
ing opinions or descriptions. which the Hon.
HoKE SMITH 8 procession through the West

We may call the HoKE or Court news in the
Journal of Monday evening. Is despatch
from Chicago announcing that the Hon.
HoKE SMITH has arrived. and has spent
"a quiet Sabbath" and that the Chicago
morning papers "devote good deal OF
space to Mr.. SMITH, all speaking Of him in
a complimentary way" The despatch in
cludes an elegant extract from the Chicago
Record. from which Atlanta may learn that.
from physical standpoint. the Secretary
of tho Interior and the Postmaster-General
are the greatest men In President CLEvE-
LANDS Cabinet" Then the destinations Of
the Secretary are further dwelt upon in
detail:
"Ths Secretary 10 six feet tall and robust His
face 10 round and plump and kindly witha. His eyes
small gray and piercing; his forehead 10 not high
but intelligent. All that kindly expression in the 5ec
retnrys face rAdiatcs from his mouth which is not
wilfuL does 1t show firmness. lie speaks with
strong Southern accent. IIe dressed entirely in
black. wearing . close fitting frock coat which he
kept tightly buttoned: and he appeared more gen.
tlemau Of leisure than Of the chief Of tho
Government"
The Court Circular also contains briefer
catalogue Of the Secretary's charms. The
Great Falls Leader saw him when he was on
his way to the Rainbow Falls. "The Sec
retary Of the Interior" says this Montana
observer. sis q large. strongly built man.
with pleasant face and most cordial and
engaging manner" The Boseman Chron-
icle's opinion that he Is "one of the big
men. physically and mentally. OF the Ad-
minlstration." Is reproduced with prido.
1t is clear that Mr.. HoKE SMITH. the edi-
tor. thinks highly OF the bulk and beauty
and facial radiancy ofthe Hon. HoKE SMITH.
But such continuous compliment must be
distressing to the violet temperament of
tho Hon. HoKE SMITH. 1t might be well
for Secretary SMITH to ask Editor SMITH
to cease this storm Of rose leaves. The
Hon. HoKE SMITH knows that beauty is
only skin deep. handsome is that handsome
does. and the peacock Is no thinker.

ticians most discredlted by the Panama
affair. such as FbooUET. OJfMENoEAU. and
even RoUvrER have. through the blvndeie
OF their opponents. been to large extent
rehabilitated In the popular mind. So far
as Paris and the other great centres OF
opinion are concerned. the recollection OF
the scandals associated with the names OF
RElNAcH and HERR seems to have vanished
as completely ms the SHOWS Of yester year.
The second feature OF President CARNoTs
programme has been carried out as offectu-
ally as was the first. Not only did he with
stand all demands for dissolution until the
Panama incident was closed. but lie has
managed to make the coming election turn
on new issue which should reflect credit
on him personally and upon n Ministry COM
posed OF trustworthy subordinates. The
Siamese affair. as It will be depicted and re-
garded at campaign meetings during the
next two weeks. Is undoubtedly triumph
for France. Even in Paris no one seems to
comprehend that the French Foreign Office
was subjected TO summary discipline at the
hands OF England in the matter Of the
blockade. All that people in the capital or
throughout the country seem to recognize
or to care about Is the fact that vast re-
glon, equal in area to large number OF
French departments. has been acquired with
out submitting to the slightest pecuniary
sacrifice. The peasants are likely to con-
trast this immense territorial gain. which
has not cost them sou, with the conquest
Of Tonquin. which made grievous additions
to the heavy burdens Of the taxpayers.
In word, 1t looks as II President CARNoT
had outgeneralled both tho Monarchists
and the Republican adherents Of M. Cons
TANs. who had hoped to discredit him per-
sonally and to bring about a complete revo-
luton in the composition Of the Chamber by
an exposure OF official misconduct In con-
nection with the Panama Canal.
