NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Out in Illinois the legislators are having
some fun with resolution which calls
for tax on, bachelors who are over 81,
and the only way in which they can be-
come exempt from the taxation Is to
conclusively prove that they have pro-
posed to three different ladies and had
been refused. II the resolution does not
reach successful issue the bachelors will
probably congratulate themselves, and II
it does they will find ample opportunity
to prove that Is through no fault OF theirs
that they are not the respected head OF
their own households.

CANNOT SERVE TWO casters.

II is very certain that Mr. Sidney l.
Thomas cannot act in the dual capacity of
attorney for the Commissioners and at
torney for the Belt Line Railway in the dis
pute between these parties, although he is
employed and paid an annual salary to act
as attorney for bothsides of the controversy.
Nor is he expected to appear in the case at
all, but the circumstance is cited TO show
how inconsistent il is for a public officer
TO attempt TO carry on a private business
in connection with his public duties.
The practice is becoming altogether too
prevalent. Half of Congress is under pay
TO corporations as counsel; at least four
ofthe Cabinet are interested mlaw practice,
principally maintained by trusts and
cooperative influence; several high District
officials hold stock or are otherwise con-
CeTned in corporations that deal with Dis
trict affairs, and il looks as if the public
would ride the off-horse whenever a clash
ing of interests made that result necessary
Ii should be the solemn duty of every
public official TO sever all connection with
private interests when he takes up his Of
flee. No man can faithfully serve two
masters when their interests conflict The
one that pays bestis generally favored, and
usually The public proves the worst pay
master. Congress should dispose of this
question by enacting law prohibiting a
public officer from accepting pay, either by
salary or otherwise, directly or indirectly,

II may not always be advisable to put

WE MUST PART WITH TEDDY
Theodore Roosevelt Will Sweep Out
New York's Au9ean Police Stables.
he Will Resign the Civil Service Com.
missionership and Take the
Finest" Out of Politics.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt has
decided to accept one of the police commits
sionerships of the city of New York rendered
TO him by Mayor Strong, certain questions
him notwithstanding to been
arranged satisfactorily. During the days
which have elapsed since his possible
acceptance of the police commissionership
has been known, Mr.. Roosevelt has been
pleaded with by his colleagues, by cabinet
officers and other close friends of the admin
tration, as well as the leaders of the civil
servicereform movement, to odecline to accept
the office and continue in the position where
he has been of such great value to the gov
eminent. But all efforts of this character
have proven unavailing.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Roosevelt said
yesterday that TO take the police department
out of politics would be one of the new
commissioners chief aims
Mr.. Roosevelt expects TO hand his resgna-
ton TO President Cleveland in a few days
and early in May will enter on his new
duties. Mr.. Roosevelt was proffered the
police commissionership or ny other
municipal office be might desire soon after
Mayor Strong's election and before his
induction into office.
He declined them, but Mr. Strong re-
newed his offers and a number of leading
New York business men, friends of Rose-
welt, pressed him to reconsider his determine
ton and to accept a police commissioner
ship, but he again declined.
One of his chief reasons for this was that
he thought that other members of the board
might not share his views as to police
administration and reform, but such as
surances were given respecting the COM
position of the board that he decided to

A pouBLE-HEApEp MoNopLY.

The gas crusade has taken on a new
phase. Circumstances go TO show that
the Washington Gaslight monopoly is Sc
crctly piping its gas 10 Georgetown and
selling it there for 20 cents more
per thousand than is charged for it in
Washingto that the citizens of
Georgetown are made To pay 20 cents more
for gas for private use than is charged
10 light the streets of that city.
There never was greater outrage 1t
is highway robbery compared TO the more
open extortion practioed upon the Wash
ington public. It is worse than decep-
ton, because the Georgetown consumers
are held by an alleged local company while
the Washington monopoly picks their
pockets through higher prices.
II is time something was done to stop
this gas robbery. Both Georgetown and
Washington should unite in demanding
dollar gas. The right kind of a repre-
sentatiou TO Congress will bring about
the reduction, and The Times petition
deserves a hearty aud united support.
Thousands of coupons have already been
received, but there are yet thousands of
people who neglect their opportunity.
Before you lay this paper down cut out
the gas coupon aud send it to The Times
1t is a duty you owe yourselves and the
public.

SECRETARY MoRToN,s INTERVIEW.

An extraordinary effort is being made
to discredit Secretary Morton for having
expressed himself on the silver question, and
it is also said that President Cleveland is
angry because the vegetable end of his
Cabinet has talked out of school Accord
ing to these critics, public official has no
right to an opinion, nor should he be any
thing but cuckoo to chirp praises and
echo platitudes.
From political standpoint, Secret airy
Morton is not a success. He speaks his mind
too plainly to suit politicians, and cannot
become prominent as party leader. He
also at times talks too freely, a failing not
often found in public men. But on the whole
he is sincere, and his opinions have the ring
of conviction on the questions under dis
cussion.
Secretary Morton's views on sound money
are absolutely correct, but his opinion OF BIZ
metaIlism viii bear modification. The
language he uses to designate sound money
will apply to International bimetallism,
and for that reason is above criticism. In
the Interview criticized, he said:
1.-The Presidents critics ask what is
sound money! Any ordinary man of
business may yaDswerthatq question. Sound
money is thatsort of currency which has the
most universal and least fluctuating pur-
chasing power in the markets of all coun-
tries. That money is the 'soundest' for
which throughout the commerce of the civil
lized world there is the most universal de-
mand The universal demand is always
based upon the universal purchasing and
unfluctuating purchasing power of that
money"
The principal objection urged against
national free silver is that it would give this
country two kinds of money unequal prices,
and an unstable, unreliable, deprecated
currency Gold, at premium, would be
one kind OF money, free silver another, and
as our currency would be redeemable in sill
yer it would be deprecated and unreliable.
1t may be safely presumed that President
Cleveland ard Secretary Morton do not
differ much on the money question.

MISS REHAN AS 5uLIANA.
She Played the Difficult Part with a
Charming Sprightliness.

She Played the Difficult Part with a
Charming Sprightliness.
Ada Reban appeared last night in John
Tobin's charming comedy, "The Honey
moon," as arranged by Augustine Daily.
The character Of Juliana as presented by
Miss Rehan. while somewhat akin to her
Katie rine'' in the Tanning of the
sbrew," is yet seperate aud distinct
individuality.
1t is exceedingly difficult to portray
two characters so similar in action and
surroundings without making one the
counterpart of the other, but even this
is seemingly an easy task for Miss Rehan.
There is probably no more clever touch
IN the play than her dancing in the coun-
try Spanish dance, at the close of the
third act The willful and as yet untamed
spirit of the woman is clearly shown even
III the sprigbtIy steps of the graceful
dance, while the partner of the coun-
try lout, and the reckless abandon and
gaiety of her movements when she dances
with her husband, is skillful change
which well meriteG the hearty applause
it received.
Mr.. George Clark as Rolando and Mr..
William Owen as the mock dude gave
able and careful limitations Of their parts.
