Minneapolis has followed the good ex-
ample set some months ago by Pittsburg
and other progressive cities. and Is now
hard at work endeavoring to provide re-
munerative labor for the many unemployed
IN that region. The matter has been dis
cussed for some time, and many plans were
suggested, but the best one Is the one that
has received the approval of the city coun-
GIL which has practically decided to issue
bonds to the amount Of 100000 at per
cent, the money realized to be used for
public improvements. among which a large
water-reservoir is conspicuous. There will
be no trouble in disposing Of the bonds for
the business men of Minneapolis have al
ready agreed to take the entire issue. Last
winter Washington endeavored to do good
to the unemployed of this vicinity by re-
questing its city council-Congress-to an
ticipate by about six months an appropria-
ton Of $4,000. But chronic directors In the
House Of Representa- made the best
method Of relieving distress impossible Of
local application, so the people who would
have earned the $45. 900 had to be supported
by charitable contributions. 1t Is the poor
est sort Of policy to make a pauper Of a
man who really desires to work. but the
congressional economists had no thought as
on the fact that its municipal government
Is beyond the reach of those who did the

Within few days the House committee

TO make a report upon the survey made by
1t. in accordance with the express desire
Of the House, for a site upon which could
be erected that new Government Printing
Office building about which mankind has
been talking for so many years. Disguised
with the wrangling and lobbying of real
estate owners, who were fighting to secure
the purchase of their property. the House
ordered the committee to find a site In one
OF the public parks Of which this city is
SO proud The committee unwillingly bowed
to the decree Of superior numbers and will
make a formal report In which will sug-
gest the sacrifice OF that portion OF the
mall now occupied by the United States
Fish Commission building. But the COM
mittee will not vote for its own report-a
conclusion that does the committee infinite
credit The committee. IN common with all
other persons who believe that the national
capital should be the most beautiful city
In the world, Is opposed to every scheme
that inclines toward vandalism. Legislators
who are of the penny wise. pound foolish"
variety may imagine that there is economy
In the use Of parks for building purposes,
but men who have had any experience in
municipal matters know there Is no better
investment made by any community than
the money expended in the acquisition and
maintenance Of many acres for parking
purposes. Every visitor to Washington Is
impressed with the value Of these breath
ing places, Of which a stingy few would
deprive this city. That the House will in
sist upon the threatened trespass Is hardly
likely.

Very many times there has been popular
demand for better Illumination and more
thorough policing Of the Capitol grounds,
and now has come strengthened argument
for the expenditure of a little more money.
morning at about o'clock the
body Of a man, who had been dead for some
time. was discovered near the grotto-a IA
vorite rendezvous for those who love dark
ness rather than light and whose desire for
gloom is there fully gratifed. The presump-
ton Is that this man committed suicide, and
1t is also believed that the shot which put an
end to his existence was fired some seven
hours before the body was discovered. Is 1t
not rather extraordinary that in the heart
of this city Out without the common juris-
diction OF the city's police force) a man
should die by the noisy revolver method and
the act be unknown and the body unseen
for so long time? In spite Of the appear
ances fayoring the theory of suicide, it
might easily be that a murder was COM
mitted, and II such was the case the muir
derer showed great sense in selecting the
Capitol grounds as the place in which to
commit his awful crime. More gaslight,
more electric light, more able-bodied and
visiiant men to preserve the peace are
prime necessities IN the Capitol grounds
and the big parks OF the city.

Washington is Well Governed.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Good city government Is not an impos-
sibility. 1t exists in Washington city,
where the taxpayers money secures a
maximum of practical benefits 1t exists
in many cities of Europe, where city gov
eminent is conducted on strictly business
principles. 1t is practicable wherever re-
sponsibility is concer trated upon persons
selected without reference to political opin-
ions, and with view solely to their ac-
quaintance with municipal problems. IN
der our system of selection the control
of affairs seems to fall with certainty into
the hands of a wholly different set of men,
for the reason, perhaps, that the men of
intelligence and capacity neglect to use
the ballot They have not-the time to
follow the ins and outs of politics. being
engrossed in their private business and
unwilling to face the experiences of the
electioneer. Inevitably, under the circum-
stances, city government comes under the
management of men whom the New York
Times defines "of narrow intelligence,
dull moral sense and sordid motives"
They are the ruling class" and under
their auspices affairs are administered
without regard to purity, economy or any
other virtue, the object in view being to
make the most possible out Of a fleeing
opportunity.

A dangerous rival to Mr.. Coxey In the
affections Of voluntarily unemployed COM
monwealers appears in the person of William
Boetler. foreigner. who is now on his way to
the Sandwich Islands for the purpose of
establishing an ideal civilization. Mr. Boet-
Ter has money wherewith to carry out his
cherished schemes, which are charmingly
simple in their originality. He believes that
mankind devotes entirely too much energy
to the mere matter of living, and the fun
damental principles Of his system are that
those who Join their fortunes to his In the
great reform must determine to live upon
nothing but fruits and grasses; must wear
no clothes. and must not indulge in any
other exertion than that of breathing. Mr..
Boetler and his disciples will be known as
1ruitarians. and he has selected the Sand
wich Islands because the temperature in
mat vicinity is peculiarly adapted to the
uniform they are expected to wear. There
rs little doubt that Mr.. Boetler's Flea will
commend itself at once to many Of the
commonwealers. and he may be sure of
getting thousands to follow and stick 10
hirn-as long as his money holds out.

Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania is try

Governor Pattison Of Pennsylvania is try
ing to do the best possible thing in connec-
ton with the coal-striks that afflicts the
keystone State more than any other of
the commonwealth In which coal mining is
carried on. Operators and miners have
been regarding each other as deadly enc
mics for some time past, and there was but
little possibility of o speedy settlement of
the trouble had the two opposing elements
been left to work out the problem for them
selves. In one or two counties the friction
has been so great as to result in bloodshed
STRIKERS and officers Of the law having
been sacrifced-and there was every prob
ability Of so great an extension of the
troubls as to need troops to quell IT. But
Governor Pattison is very properly averse
to using military force, and. unless there Is
absolute necessity for its employment,
deprecates the use of the extreme civil
power, so he decided to talk the matter
over with employers and strikers. and 1t
seems now as though his efforts to bring
about a peaceful settlement would not be
IN vain. The miners have already con-
scented to the governors acting as arbi-
traitor. and the probabilities are that the
operators win also agree to submit their
case to him and abide by his Judgment
Property valued at many millions of dollars
IS now threatened by the rioters; scores of
Industries are helpless from lack of fuel;
men. women and children suffer hunger
without cause, and the good name of one of
the greatest of the states is being furnished
Governor Pattison is to be commended for
his willingness and earnestness. Every
good citizen hopes he may succeed in his
praiseworthy endeavor to put an end to the
coal strike In Pennsylvania.
