SHADE TREES RIINED.

WashinEtOnians are so proud of their
parks and the shade trees in their beauti-
ful streets that anything liable TO work
harm 10 them will be viewed as a calamity
1t appears from an interview with Secre-
tary Morton, which was published in
yesterdays issue OF The Times, that the
elm trees. of which Washington has
large number, are every year defoliated by
a beetle, aud that the proper remedies can
not be applied because OF the limited ap-
preparation At the command of tie Com
missioner of Public Buildings and Grounds
and the Parking Commission.
About every shortcoming in the city's
internal or external affairs is traceable to
the same caUsc-Iegis!ative parsimouy
Streets improperly repaired or not re
paired at all; streets poorly lighted or not
lighted at all; insufficient water supply;
insufficient police force; disfiguring OF
parks and trees-all these are ills arising
from the unwiliingness of Congress to make
appropriations according to the estimates
submitted TO them by tie commissioners
one Of the saddest features about all this
is the fact that this parsimouy is due in the
ma jority OF instances to absolute will
ful ignorance or that Indifference which
shuns Investigation.
Returning to the matter Of shade trees, the
remedy, as pointed ont by Secretary Morton,
is simple enough aud comparatively in-
expensive, but cheap as it is the Secretary
himself admits the tmposSibility Of apply
ing il so long as Congress is not more
liberal in its appropriations for the work
Of the Parking Commission, TO whose
special care the trees in the streets are con-
fided. Let us hope that the Fifty-fourth
Congress Will in this matter at least, atone
for the sins Of omission chargeable to its
predecessors

a CALL To ARMS.

Il would be difficult TO fathom the deep
and poudcrous schemes of President Cleye-
land were ii not for newspaper CORE
spondeuts one Of these mind readers
has recently made public the Information
that the President Is getting ready 10 collect
the Mora claim by show Of arms. and If
Spain refuses 10 make payment "instanter"

IN levyng tribute.
The Mora claim, 81 100000, was ac-
knowlcdgcd by Spain TO have been a
just debt during President Cleve,ands
first administration. But as Spain has
since been doing business on the limited
income, supplemented by interest bear
lug coupons on the seat OF government,
there has been little hope of recovering it.
The little dclt-c0llecting SkirmiSh England
had with Nicaragua, however, seems 10

II may be possible that at this moment,
while the President feels the bite OF porgy

plans for the rse Of that 81 SOC, 900 in pay
ing off the losses Of this administration.
Such a method Of getting even may not be
cammendable because it looks like taking
advantage Of nation in distress. But
Presidents in trouble are not always stick

courtesy, and au empty treasury in Spain

CONSULS' PECULIAR DUTIES
Just When Become Useful They
Must Make Way for Others.
Secretary OIney Considering the Feast
bility of Applying the Competitive
system TO the Consular service.

Probably as the result OF the success
of the attempt to securea consular clerk by
competitive examination, the attention Of
Secretary Oiney has been drawn 10 the
sibiIity of choosing United States consuIs
in a similar fashion, which would be in a
measure in the line OF civil service reform.
There are at present about four hundred
consular places aud AT every change of ad-
ministrauou the pressure brought 20 bear
upon the President and the Secretary Of
State TO secure appointments 10 this service
is overwhelming aud the many changes
which result in the personnel invariably
throw the entire Service into confusion
and suspend for a considera bic period OF
time It's beneficial workings
After the lapse OF a few years the Consuls
SO appointed become familiar with their
duties and begin TO exhibit their usefulness
by welldirected efforts to extend the
foreign trade of United States merchants,
and Just about this time they in turn are
removed and mother ofnew men succeed
to their places, appointed 10 discha rye the
peculiar duties of COnsulS. eCretary
Olney's attention has been drawn to the
fact that in the administ ration Of President
Grant a rule was made by the President
requiring all cOusulS &c be examined by a
departmental board prior to appointment,
and 1t is possible that be may revive aud
even extend the workings OF this rule If
the President consents.
As these officials, according to the CON
stitutiOn. must be nominated aud CON
firned by the Senate the selection Of a
consul by competitive examination would
not necessarily be tautamUunt to an ap-
pointmcnt, for the Senate could still eX-
ercise its power of rejection OF the nominal
ton but when it was once made clear
that by such a rejection it would not be
possible to compass the appointment of a
consul by personal influence, it is not be-
heved that this power would be often
exercised, and that ConsuEs would really
be appointed on their merits and ability
to fill each particular office.
Commissioner Proctor, of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, has interested himself
In this proposed extension of civil service
ideas, and a strong point has been made
by the superior record of the few cOnSuIs
now remaining in the service VINO were
appointed in President Grants time after
examination, although it is true in their
cases the examinations were not fully
competitive.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

President Richa rds, of Georgetown Uni
versity, told the members of the Alumni
Association at their meeting yesterday,
that 1T was the intention of the university
! authorities to add a well-equipped gym
naSium to the college buildings, and to
otherwise give proper encoura cement to
athletic development among the students
! Of all the departments.
At the same time, while humorously
adding that this was not a recognized
part of the college curriculum, he paid a
high and pleasing tribute to the usefulness
of muscular endcavor.
Within legitimate bounds. he said ii
added tone aud spirit TO college life, and
had direct effect on the healthfuluess of
the mind. AS a result it tended to ex-
cellence in studies. This was shown 10y
the fact that the leading men on all the
college teams during the past scholastic
year were also leaders in their classes.
All this is as IL should be Everything
should be done To make the body of the
student sound, so that it may be fit re-
ccptacle for sound mind. The healthy
scholar is of more use to the world than the
consumptive one, especially in these days
when every onward step in the battle OF
life has to be so keenly contested.
As long as college athletics are properly
conducted they are all rieht-very much So
1t is only when those to whom the care OF
the student is entrusted neglect their duty,
and allow the brute aud the blackguard to
dominate in the gymnasium and on the
fielG-as has too often been the casc-that
this phase Of college life becomes dis
reputable, that students are crippled, aud
that even murder S committed
1t would be We'll, indeed, if athletics
became a part of the curriculum of our
universities, because then they would he
scientifically conducted, and parents
would have a guarantee that their chill
dren's physical development would be under
correct supervision.
The college might take lesson from our
public school system the physical culture
branch of which was so completely out
lined in The Times school edition.

MORE MONEY COMING.

The general increa Sc of wages throughout
the principal mills aud factories and the
resumption of work in nearly all industrial
lines will have more TO do with swelling
the volume of money in circulation and n
creating more satisfactory feeling in all
branches oftrade thananyf
that could be enacted. Prosperity sets
money free and makes good times, and il is
the wages of working people that furnish
the bulk OF the money that passes from
hand to hand to complete the majority of
minor business transactions. Consequently
the good fortune aud steady employment
of wage eaners largely Influence general
prosperity.
If economists would pay more attention
to this subject and strive more earnestly to
adjust labor troubles and prevent Iockouts
and strikes, their services as public bene-
factors would bring better results. When
ever and wherever working people are
well paid and well treated communities
viii be found to thrive. Manufacturing
districts are always money centers, and
If controlled by humane employers, are not
only the most prosperous, but also the
wealtbiest and most enterprising
1t is reported that the wages of over
250,0o working people have been in
creased within the last sixty days, which
VIII result in more good TO the country
than all the laws of the last Congress,
except possibly the tariff act and the re-
peal of the Sherman law. 1t may be
safely asserted that our factories are of
more Importance than our legislative halls,
and that the prosperity of our wage
earners is more necessary than the prefer
ment of lawmakers.
