Merely an ordinary news item, clipped
from the New York Sun yet Of considerable
interest to the people of the District of
Columbia. Quite number of WASHINGTON
ians are acquainted with Col John Tracey,
superintendent of Charities for the District
OF Columbia. Some of those who know the
colonel and a good many others who do not
may be inclined to indulge in what practi-
cal politicians would deem the imper.inence
OF asking why it was that the Superinten-
dent of District Charities should, especially
at this season of the year, absent himself
from his post of duty to take charge of a
campaign literary bureau.

Now that President Cleveland is engaged
In extending the beneicent and business
like rules which have behind them the
authority of the civil service law, he might
properly and with profit to the nation in
clude within the broadened and broadening
limits a branch OF the public service in
which the spokesman has done a great deal
of damage; that is the consular service.
Many arguments have been made in behalf
of that variety Of reform, but none of them
has been more directly to the point than
the one which was contributed TO the Octo-
Der Century b. Lambert Tree, who has
served the United States as minister to
Belgium and minister to Russia. Judge
Tree is democrat of the thoroughly con-
scientious Sort who believes in giving the
public as much as possible for its money.
Opening up his contention by stating that
1t requires several years of service to make
an efficient consul-by which is meant in
timacy with the commercial conditions and
the language OF the country in which he is
stationed-Judge Tree proceeds to show
how extremely foolish and wasteful is the
present purely-poIitical method. 1T is evil
dent" says ne, that under our present
system OF changing these officers on the
advent of every new administration the
American consul has neither a fair chance
to become cOnversant with any other Ian
guage, nor the chance to equip himself for
his duties as thoroughly as he usually finds
his colleagues from other foreign countries
at the same post. IL the aPpOintee is in
telligent, and takes an interest in his
duties, he is far more useful to the govern
ment at the expiration of four years than
at any shorter period of his service"
Judge Trec's remedy is the putting of The
consular service on footing similar TO the
Army and Navy, a man ought to be pre-
pared for the important duties just as men
are in other countries in which there is
much more of appreciation of the value of
a frst-class consul than there is in the
United States. The ciNii-pension-list idea
is far from popular in this country, but he
does not hesitate to insist that in addition
to continuity OF service there should be
assurance OF a pension when the consul
shall have served a certain number of years.
Other men in pubic life have made sug-
gestionS similar to that now advanced by
Ex-Minister Tree, but his conclusions are
entitled to especial consideration because of
his experience as a diplomat.

As a rule the average American news
paper presents to its readers as nearly as
possible a truthful picture of the news
which comes to it from various sources.
Once in while a journal exists for few
years although encountered by a reputa-
lion for sensationaiism and inaccuracy, but
most of such ventures die young. There
comes from Denver a story that all the
paperA in this country Will print more or
less ora story in which is made plain the
fact that nearly all the men who were can
didaIes on the populisI state ticket in Col
orado met Saturday evening at Gov. Waites
official headquarters and then and there
told him, who had been their leader, just
what they thought of him. The principal
orator seems to have been the gifted Late
Pence, and he is alleged to have informed
his late chief that the sooner the entire
Waite crowd hied themselves to desert
place the better it would be for the poI'ulist
party and the balance of mankind. I'VE
want no more long-haired, wild-eyed anar-
chists and socialists in the party said he,
and the quicker you and your oftlce-grab-
bling friends take yourselves away the bet
ter you Will be liked The dispatch fur
thermore states that so vigorous Was the
assault that for the first time since COM
ing to Denver Waite was speechless." This
latter statement is 50 manifestly absurd as
to be beyond credence. 1t is well enough
to announce that considerable proportion
Of Colorados pCpuists have lost all conf
dence in Days ii. Waite, and it can readily
be believed that some Of the more courage
Gus of the discontinued relieved their minds
in the presence Of their one-time idol. but
it is asking too much when cOmmon-sense
readers Of newspapers are requested to
swallow an allegation which insists that
the governor was speechless. Such charge
can never be preferred against AIR. Waite
until the undertaken is through with him.
Denver correspondents Should pay more at
tention to accuracy than to picturesque
ness.

Lovers of good municipal government
throughout the country have been watching
the proceedings of the Lexow investigation
committee in New York with great interest.
That inquiry into the methods and Misdo-
tngs Of the Gotham police has really been
OF national Importance instead. as 1t prom
ised at first, OF being purely local matter.
This is because there is a growing suS-
piciOn in the minds of many citizens that
civic corruption is by no means confined to
one city or one state; that it has vicious
tendency TO take root wherever there is a
great community. The enormous size OF
New York and the multiplicity of interests
Of its citizens viii perhaps be found to be
the best cloak for such scandalo Is system
Of blackmail and official pilfering. The very
size Of the city and the greatness of its
wealth have no doubt aided the progressed
criminal-catchers. the police, to grow rich
out Of their opportunities to avoid catching
The criminals. These conditions uuforsu-
nately prevail in many large cities in this
country today. 1t is this chance that the
tendency Of the New York police to grow
fat on crime is but the natural tendency Of
such individuals as seem to find their way
most easily into the ranks of this class
Of functionaries that alarms the good

them study the progress of the LeXow in
vestisation and to hope earnestly that the
probing Will not cease now that the election
is over.
1t is doubtless true that there was in the
organization and work Of this committee
much that was partisan. 1t is almost in
credible that the Cndeavor should have been
made without the incentive of political
hopes. Nevertheless the good work has
been begun and the foundation for a better
city laid so well that there is now no one
but the people who have been most serf-
Ously injured by the inquiry to suggest that
the partislnship of the committee has done
any harm And again, it was unquestiJh-
ably a bit of clever management on the part
Of the committee, but more especially Mr..
Golf, the candidate of the refurmers for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-11-12

the highest judicial position in the gift of
the people Of New York, to SO time the ex-
posures that the city should have been left
by the adjournment of the committee in a
state of great ferment of indignation. 1t
was feared when the work was begun
months ago that the furry of resentment
on the part of the better-inclined citizens
would have blown off before the elections
took place. Whatever of party feeling
there may have been behind the committee
and its work, the fundamental fact still
remains that such exposures are punishable
in but one way and at one place-by votes
at the polls. Therefore it was not more
than justice that the scandal should have
been so managed that it should eliminate
Just before election. If the people of New
York voted while in white heat of feel
ing against Tammany and it's methods, so
much the better for good government ard
decent administration of cities. If the COM
mittee took a recess not with the work
practically finished, but just as Mr.. Golf
was beginning to $50 up higher" so that
the people had before them the duty of
voting solidly against the machine when
they had chance, on the theory that there
could not fail to be more to come of the
same unhappy sort, then so much mere
oS'i4'Su ioi purity Ill pOHtlcS III was GER
.tainly case where the end justified the
means, and no one who will look at the
question impartially can fail to commend
Mr.. Gof for his cleverness, even though
there should have been somewhat of
selfish motive within him. While Mr.
Gon has secured the recordershp the
people of New York have been given a
guarantee of cessation of the reign of
terror under which the municipality has
been practically suffering for years, and
the people of the nation at large have been
given an object lesson that cannot fail to
produce good results in other fields There
fore the closing sessions of the Lexow COM
mittee in New York will be regarded as
quite as important as though the election
were still to take place, and the people of
the country generally will watch the pro-
ceedings with just as much interest Al
ready comes the suggestion that Chicago
should be purged and no doubt the same
thought is in the minds of citizens of many
other communities.

Political conscience might be greatly
shocked, but public intelligence Will be
equally elated by the action of Postmaster
Willett of Washington in appointing his
republican predecessor, Mr.. Henry Sher-
wood. assistant postmaster. Mr.. Sher-
wood might have some heSitancy in accept
ing a subordinate position in a service in
which he has been the guiding spirit for
four years, but that is only a personal af-
fair. 1t il to be hoped that he Will give no
heed to personal considerations, and that he
Will accept the place rendered him. BY
this action the Washington public Will be
benefited, because ii viii secure an expert
enced man in a position where experience
is a most desirable quality. Mr. Willett' S
action iii appointing his predecessor his as
sistant and associate is unusual Political
preference has been sUbordinated to public
