HIGHLY IMPROPER.

By proper authority or otherwise informa-
ton is sent out that whatever objections, if
any. had been entertained by President Cleve-
land to the active participation of government
officials in the pending campaign, have been
overcome. removed and set aside. and there
will be an unrestrained ouipouring Of such
aid and assistance in the different States. II
is even said that Mr.. Cleveland has tacitly
given his consent TO the appearance Of high
government officials in New York to give to
Mr.. Hill all the help they can.
Whether all OF this be true, or any part Of
it, or none Of it, is immateriaL The utter i'm
propriety Of any paid officer Of the govern
nent forsaking his regular duties and engag-
ing in electioneering, must be apparent TO
any one that will give the matter a moments
consideration. An official ofthe government,
whether the Secretary of the Treasury or the
humblest watchman in any Of the depart
ments. who draws a stated salary for the per-
formance Of certain duties, has no more right
70 abandon those duties, and yet be paid for
the services supposed to be rendered, than he
has to take any money that is not his own.
One proceeding is as dishonest as the other.
1t is not necessary to quote the civil service
law in support Of this position, for that law is
but the formal expression of the underlying
principles Of honesty and decency carried into
the administration of public affairs. No stated
reason can be adduced why the business Of
the government should not be carried for
ward on the same safe and conservative lines
laid down by any business man in the con-
duct OF his affairs. The latter certainly would
not permit any OF his employees to 90 of on
some expedition entirely foreign to their paid
occupation and spend their time and his
money for some other persons benefit.
The contention made by some persons Of
strabismal turn of mind that not TO permit this
political junketinG OF Government officials is
an interference with the rights OF American
citizenship and the privileges Of manhood is
sheer nonsense. Citizenship and manhood
have nothing to do with it. If the latter
comes at all into question it is to emphasize
the circumstance that the manifest manhood
consists in being honest and doing ones duty.
The government official who draws his pay
while he goes of on an electioneering tour is
neither the one nor does the other.

IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN.
Warfare TO the Knife VIII Be waeed
Against the Barrooms by the Anti.
Saloon League.

saloon League.
At a conference OF leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League, held last night, it was decided to
wage war to the knife against the saloons in
Washington. The entire city has been mapped
out in districts, and the name OF every
signer TO applications for liquor licenses
has been recorded in the books of the
League.
These signers will be called upon by CON-
mittees specially appointed for that purpose,
and they will be urged to Withdraw their sig
natures. 1t was decided to send letters to
real estate agents, business men, and others.
and seek their cooperation in the efforts of
the leaCuers to down the strong drink traffic
in the District.
This work is in charge of Mr. James l..
Ewing, an attorney whose Office is in the
Loan and Trust Company Building Mr.
Ewing is also vice president of the League
An important step was decided upon by the
conference, at the instance of Mr.. John r.
Mahorney. The police department win be
asked TO detail regular Metropolitan detec-
tives to investigate and prosecute those en-
gagged in the illicit liquor traffic. just as they
investigate and prosecute thieves and other
violators of the law. Selling liquor without
a license or on Sunday. the leaguers say. is
just as much a violation of law as robbery or
assault, and should be run down with all the
facilities at the command of the police de-
partment.
The League will also organize a private
detective corps, it is said, to work up cases
on saloon keepers who violate the law, and
they predict that some warm work will be
the result between this and Christmas.
Rev. L. B. Wilson is president of the Anti
Saloon League, which is composed of five
representatives from nearly every church and
temperance society in the District, in all
about 800 delegates.
