Washington Jan. 2S-The defeat of Senator
Dubois Of Idaho for reelection to the United
States Senate was received here with opposite
emotions Of qualification and regret-gratiilca-
ton by the Republicans. and deep regret by
Democrats and silver men. The Republicans
are elated that one who actively espoused the
cause OF silver that he holted his party has met
with defeat in the house Of his whilom friends.
and the silver men and the Democrats are
chagrined that SO able and brilliant recruit
should be summaiily turned down by silver
men and Democrats despite their active eNer-
tions in his behalf. The Democrats In the SEN

his attention to the details of the way the
work Is done.
He cannot have failed to note the bad ex-
amples of construction afforded by the
public buildings in the various American
cities that he has visited. Their monot-
oncus lack of any other element than mere
Ilafnness and utility, save where they be-
come absurdiy ambitious. is their con-
spicuous feature. This fault could be rem
edied at slight cost. The very best tai
ent the world affords is none too good or
too expensive for employment when the
nation undertakes the construction OF
great public buildings. worthy representa-
tives of the countrys progress in wealth
and culture. 1t was summoned to effect
when the Congressional Library was de-
signed and decorated and the consequence
is a monument worthy of the great repub-
lie The premiums that should be paid to
encourage the leaders of their art to sub
nit plans would he petty in comparison
with the results achieved. At the business
end of the bureau enough money could be
saved by the adoption of sensible methods
and by their strict administration TO pay
such premiums many times over. The ele-
nent OF rents alone in the case of the
Washington city post office building Is
sufficient to prove the point. Had this
structure been in private hands it would
doubtless have been completed and occu-
pied at least two years ago, and the lease
money paid for the use of private quar-
ters for the wasted time mounts into the
tens of thousands of dollars. Mr.. Gage
needs no particular advice in such an in
quiry. The discrepancies and weakness of
| the present system are SO plain that a mere
cursory inquiry into the matter cannot but
convince him that there Is some thing rad
ically wrong. and that 1t Is not the interpo-
sition of the civil service law, which, in
deed. operates rather to the betterment of
the service by removing this office as far
| as possible from the field of practical poll
tics and tends to prevent it from degener-
ating into a mere spoils machine. The Sec
retary should first of all reaffirm the prin-
ciple embodied in the civil service order of
President Cleveland. and then seek to sup
plement the good thus done.
