RESULTS OF The INQUIRY.

When the Wade court of inquiry be-
gan the investigation it has just con-
cluded, the New York Tribune, a
stauneh Republican organ, but alive to
necessity for keeping the army free
from scandals and of purging it Of
whatever corruption may have already
seized upon its management, made
these few preliminary remarks:
The court viii not proceed without
f.I1harra ssment. No matter how thor
ou..k or impartial its members may
desire TO be. they must be pre-
pared for strong pressure TO pre-
vent them bringing TO light anything
,IftDIeasant If anybody has done wrong.
II course he viii exert every possible in
fiuence 10 hide his work. His efforts. how
ever. are not the only ones which may
make for suppression of any scandal. if
one exists The rogue. of course. fights
away from the halter. and nobody pays
attention TO or has respect for his pro-
tests.
And the result has verified that fore
cast. In spite Of all the evidence pre-
scented. in the face Of all the records,
and contracts, and chemical analyses,
and surgeons certificates, and hospital
REGISTERS. and death rolls, the findings

The Office boy is liable to lose his job
y large examination room of the mu-
nicipal civil service commissioners, at
the top of the criminal court building
was given over to the new girl Fri
day Its hundred desks We're occupied
by that number of girls between II and
is years of age, undergoing an inqulsl-
ton as to their fitness to be placed on
the eligible list from which office girls
in the municipal departments will be
drawn. Exactly 102 girls were seated
two being placed at the large desk on
the examiners rostrum. The desks are
separated so that there could not be
any exchange of condolences or infor
nation. Work began at 10 o'cloc-2nd
consisted of dictation. a section OF the
Declaration of Independence was rap
idly read to the candidates. Slow die
tation. word for word, followed. Five
examples in arithmetic were then given
out, after which forty words were call
ed off to the competitors to be properly
spelled. A letter covering one page OF
foolscap was then asked for, the can
didate being expected to describe
therein the progress of the examination
I'D to that point The percentages were
scaled as follows: Dictation. 10; arith-
metic, 20: handwriting, 80; spelling, 10,
and letter, 20.
The examination was entirely writ
ten, and some of the girls finished their
tasks by 1 o'clock; others remained I'M
til 4. They were an ambitious lot and
regarded the postoftice girl as a mere
stepping-stone to a junior clerkship,
grade for which they will be eligible af
ter two years service. That carries a
salary of $50 a month and leads through
senior clerkship to the fifth grade, with
compensation of s., 500 a year.
Chief Examiner Ireland was delight
ed with many of the papers. The CHR
ography in most cases was excellent
and remarkably similar among the
public school pupils. one specimen was
like copper-plate engraving. AS rule
the figures were not well made, but the
examples" were generally worked out
successfully.

stirring UP a scandal And there were
members of the commission, it is I'M
derstood, who imagine the best inter-
ests of the army demanded copious
coat OF whitewash, for they contend
that the gain from Furnishing CT cor
recting any possible contracting swim
die or any failure of duty on the part
OF officers will not compensate for the
harm done by public exposure of mill
tary controversies and defects of army
management.
We've all had our say about the in
justice of militarism and the persecu-
ton of Dreyfus, but this is only an
American adaptation of the same idea.
The honor of the army must be defend
ed, the divinity of the administration
must be hedged about. regardless of
right, justice, and lessons Of official
morality to be taught, and needless of
the material welfare of the soldiers
themselves.
Then there is commercial cowardice-
packing house patriotism, which has
insisted that a great industry was be-
ing injured by these complaints and
Investigations.
What if boric acid was used in the
treatment of meats? What if salicylic
preservatives did make whole reSi-
ments of soldiers i'll? IF we substan-
tiate these charges it will discredit our
export trade in meats, they tell us.
This" says a prominent New York
Republican, "is anti-Dreyfusism re-
duced to terms of beef and pork. The
beef and pork order of intellect will, of
course, adopt that view, just as the
drillma FASTER intellect will prefer a mill
tary injustice to military scandal"
Tie Herald does not believe that the
masses of the people Of the United
States take that view of it. They have
not been brought up in that school of
industrial and military morality. If
there is anything rotten in the admins
tration of departmental affairs at
Washington, the people want TO know
it. If the army is defective in its organ
ization, or if corruption has laid its
leprous touch upon its management,
the people have a right to know it.
PaliatiOn cures no evils. They thrive
in secret. They wither in the light of
publicity.
If injurious chemicals are used in the
treatment of meats the public should
be made aware of it, that antidotes
may be kept conveniently at hand.
Moreover. as honesty is the best policy,
foreign as well as domestic consumers
should be told the truth. There is no
patriotism in fraud. and it is not an
evidence of loyalty to help ones neigh
Dor cheat foreigner.
The best way to the markets of the
world is along the path of honesty and
fairness. The only way to preserve the
honor of the army is to Danish dis
honor from its management.
After all, the court of inquiry has
accomplished good. 1t permitted many
facts to be uncovered. 1t allowed the
public to hear the truth, nd the people
recognize it, whether, in its discretion,
the court felt able to or not.

A little blossom, l know / trOw.
Peened out from the ground meath the

And opened its petals, and smiled to

Had kept her from cold on winters

Who had longed in December for balmy

And had laid her jackets and furs away.
Came forth with muslins and flowers gay.
Alas, for flowerette and maiden fair,
For the deuce was TO pay in the upper

And the flowerette lay dead in the SHOWS

NEW Works. FIRE CHIEF.

Chief Hugh Bonner of the New York
fire department retired yesterday from
that position, after forty-six years of
faithful service. Ten years ago he
reached The highest rung on the ladder
of his ambition, since which time the
metropolitan fire department has been
the pride of the country and a model
for the world.
The secrets of his success were the
entire absence Of politics from the de-
partment and the personal pride he
took in its work and efficiency. The one
gave him a chance to do unhampered
work and maintain perfect discipline,
while the other kept him constantly
on his mettle and furnished a motive
TO that energy and watchfulness which
were a marvel to his men. He had no
use for holidays. It was constant Wig
lance for him.
His resignation was forced, it has
been said. by Tammany politicians and
the fact that Cookers nephew is chosen
20 succeed him lends color to the story.

In Berlin they are whispering so that
II gets to the ears of every one but the
kaiser, that he is bidding for Russian
favors. And it all grows out of the
FAVOR shown by William last month to
the Russian actress Savina, who gave
performances at one of the royal the
aires with the St Petersburg Imperial
Theatre company. The emperor pre-
scented splendid gifts to the leading ar
lists, and has shown Savina extraordin-
airy attention. They are fools to at
tach International Importance to such
episodes. Ten to one, it is only a pri-
Vate affair of the emperor's, with which
the public has no concern. Eth, Billy?

Cash were married very quietly yester-
day morning at st. Pauls church, and
left at noon for a two weeks tour on
the Pacific slope. The wedding was a
surprise to even their most intimate
friends. 1t was solemnized at 1880 at
the beautiful little Episcopal chapel on
South Main street, the Rev. Ellis
Bishop officiating. Only a few close
friends were present at the ceremony.
Both young people were very well
known in the city. Mr.. Clarke has
been for two years a member of the
Tribune staff, and Miss Cash, who is
a niece of Mr.. o. ]. Salisbury, was an
assistant at the public library, and
very popular in social circles.
On their return from their wedding
