fection becomes an important factor in the
next years races.
The calculation of these managers Is that
great disappointments will follow the dis
trfbution of the patronage by Mr.. McKin-
ley. They are persuaded that the rush for
office will be unprecedented, and that the
large number Of places now protected by
the civil service law will make 1t impossi-
BILE for the new administration to escape
unprecedented embarrassments. People who
are turned away will seek other afilia-
tions, or else sulk in their tents, and in
either event the party in opposition with
the best organization will profit by the dis
content. The silver democrats are in pos
session of the party machinery, and hence
claim that all men seeking to make their
protests against the new order of things
most effective will come to them.
This calculation. as Is plain enough. has
spoils as its only basis. Are spoils broad
enough to build on In the circumstances
that exist? Spoils did not carry the day
in November. Men who had only office in
view could promise themselves more from
Mr.. Bryan's tfan from Mr.. McKinley's sue
cess. The former openly advocated the re-
peal of the civil service law. which would
have put all offices to the hazard of q
scramble. There must be- in the nature OF
of the distribution of the places as matters
stand but nothing to approximate what
the silver men are counting on.

.The Inaugural BalI.-

The inaugural committee will never be SO
foolish as to abolish the historic and time
honored inaugural BALI and substitute
for 1t merely a public presidential reception
on inauguration night in the Library build
ing. The latter would be necessarily
free-for-all affair. The inaugural ball has
been the pecuniary foundation of every
successful inaugural celebration, furnishing
the means of making the most notable and
impressive Of displays. The inaugural
committee has no intention of taking
step which would render our celebration
OF next fourth of March insignificant and
contemplate, compared with recent prede-
cessors. from leck of means.
The Library building with its beautiful
and artistic decorations should be viewed
gratuitously and leisurely by every one of
the tens Of thousands of visitors to Wash
ington in the first week Of next March.
We should not cover its beauties even with
the patriotic bunting. 50 essential to in
augural display. We should not ask to be
permitted to shut out the American people
from the enjoyment of 1t during that week
except for certain hours on the night of
the 4th when admission may be obtained
only for a price The Library as 1t stands
will be one of Washington's greatest at
fractions to inaugural visitors 1t should
not be spoiled in respect to its obvious
natural and highest uses by an attempt on
our part to utilize 1t for the purposes of the
composite of ball. band concert. and mon
ster reception to which custom has at
tached the name of inaugural ball
The latter will doubtless be conducted
with little variation from the usual lines
and held In the Pension Office building
which habit has dedicated to this use. and
which Is admirably constructed for the
purpose.

Garbage Considerations.

The public generally has so little faith in
the present system of garbage collection
and disposal even under the most favora-
hle auspices. that the announcement made
recently OF the partial dismantling of the
orematory at the foot Of South Capitol street
is not apt to cause any tremor Of apprehen-
sion or regret. On the other hand. 1t is
more likely that a rule the citizens will
see in this new move a sign Of a more
propitious future in this regard, for 1t
stands to reason that the sooner the garb-
age business is brought squarely down to
the basis of total decentralization, to which
IL is now rapidly tending, the quicker and
the better will be the official reaction. In
order 10 push matters to this desirable end
the Commissioners would be justified in
compelling the contractor to give them an
opportunity to decide now the question of
whether or not he is entitled to full COM
pensation for his partial service by pre-
senting the bill which, it is reported. he is
now purposely withholding in the suspected
hope that at some future day he may find
the Commissioners in lenient mood that
will lead them to forget his delinquencies
and allow the full amount. Creditors are
not ordinarily so backward about demand
ing pay as the contractor now seems to be.
are debtors so eager for settlement as
circumstances.
1t is understood that the garbage contrac-
tor owns has the use of a large tract Of
farm land in Maryland sufficiently isolated
from habitations to warrant its use
ideal spot for a garbage disposal plant. and
yet near enough to be convenient Of ac-
cess He might take inspiration to this
end from the experience of the contractor
for the final disposal of the street waste OF
BIda-Pesth- The city pays him about
$4,000 year for this service and Col.
Warins. the New York street sweeping
commissioner. reports that while the con-
tractor has yet made no money profit
from his enterprise, he has, nevertheless
teen able to turn his contract to account
by utilizing the fertilizer. resulting from
the treated waste, the extensive farms
owned by him in the vicinity of the city,
to the end of making them unusually
Profitable This. it is to be noted, has been

less a far greater percentage of value
could be obtained from the properly treated
gs rbase that belongs to the contractor and
there Is reason to assert. in view Of the
experience OF the Buda-Pesth street waste
contractor. and of the garbage contractors
IN such cities as Detroit where reduction

and disposing of the garbage in Washing

factorily If modern methods of treatment

Spninss Latest Bluff.

Along with their account of General Ma
ceo's death. the Spaniards are insisting
that all Is over with the insurgents now.
The cause must soon collapse. General
Weyler is to have Pinar del Rio under COM
plete control by January 1st. and after
that, addressing himself to General Gomez,
Is to finish the whole job by spring.
This boastfulness Is intended to cover two
points. First, that the insurgent cause has
no stamina; that the killing of one of its
leaders disbands all of his Immediate fol-
lowers. There is no devotion to Cuba but
only devotion to a fighting chief. His
death puts an end both to their valor and
their patriotism.
Second. that the outbreak had its main
strength in the blacks. Maceo was a mu-
latto Enlisted under him were many
blacks. Therefore. the Spaniards insist.
the whole thing was a revolt of blacks, led
by a black. not to free Cuba for the better
ment Of the island, but to riot in plunder.
Maceo is dead. the blacks under him have
scattered to hiding places. and the end
practically Is at hand.
The effort on the part of Spain is to in
fiuence Congress There is an impression
in both Madrid and Havana that it is only
necessary to convince the people of the
United States that the blacks are very
prominent in the revolt, and would greatly
benefit by Its success, to cool sympathy
over here. SO Spain comes forward now.
claims that the death of the mulatto chief
means the loss of the right arm Of the
revolt. and that General Gomez doesn't
count at all.
The people Of the United States do not
depend on Spanish sources for their in
formation about Cuba. They have known
from the proper sources the value Of Cen
eral Maceo and Of the blacks enlisted under
him. They have rated his talents and
courage very high. and they have admired
his devotion to the cause. But they have
never been led to believe even from those
nearest to him that Cuba meant Maceo
and Maceo. Cuba Great as the loss is the
cause will survive the man. His place will
be filled.
As for the Spanish assertion that there
proves to be no insurgent force Of any size
in Pinar del Rio, what has kept General
Weyler shut up In Havana for ten months?
Why that trocha across the island there,
manned by thousands of soldiers. with
horses and artillery? Only a few struggling
bands of blacks. so poorly organized and
so deficient In courage as to go all to pieces
upon the death of their chief? The Spanish
statement Of the case Is a reflection on the
Spanish commander and his two hundred
thousand men.
