stimulate to the utmost the architec-
tural genius of the country in competl-
ton for designs for the improvement
of the capital after the example OF
the reconstruction of Paris. He pre-
diets that a great profit awaits the
government and Virginia when they
shall have redeemed the unsightly
flats along the Potomac.
Nearly every capitol of European
nations that is situated on a river,
has spent large sums of money upon
making the river banks beautiful as
we'll as upon developing the utility OF
it's waters. MIR. Smith has a great
scheme for establishing mere a ma
tional Agora to rival the classic
examples of ancient Greece.
Former U. s. senator, w. E.
Chandler of New Hampshire, who
presided at this meeting, also made
a stirring plea for a systematic scheme
of the City Beautiful. "Nations are
always proud of their capital" he
declared, land spare no expense to
make them beautiful and attractive"
'The work of development" he said,
must be done by the whole nation"
He claims that such improvements
as are being sought will cost a great
deal of money, but the expenditure
will pay in the end. The very presence
of the Improvements will enhance the
value of other property and render
return for the investment aside from
the educational benefits.
"There is needed here Immediately"
he said, "an auditorium" This is
true, but it now seems one of the
assured things that are surely coming
to us in the near future, for infiuen-
tial citizens have already raised over
500, 900 towards a project for vast
hall for conventions, inaugurals, etc
Other needs of Washington, both
of local and national interest, were
discussed and a motion was offered
and unanimously passed that a
National Society be formed for the
future aggrandizement of Washing
ton.
This new society was born amidst
most interesting surroundings, and
Mr.. Smith assured those present that
the new society would fall heir to its
birth-place-the Hall of the Ancients.
This is large especially constructed
building, intended by its projectors
as the precursor of great series of

freely admit, SO we don't have to
prove it. They thereby constituted
themselves sole judges of their own
behavior and finally came to the
conclusion that all officers under
their Jurisdiction should have the
same privilege of life tenure.
Suppose Members of Congress or
state Legislature should come to the
conclusion that they possess just
the right kind of "merit' to legis-
late properly and should enact that
they continue to make laws during
"good behavior" and then constitute
themselves sole judges of their own
conduct, what would people say:
There are as many reasons why
Senators or Congressman, Gov
errors or Members Of the State
Legislature should hold office during
.'gooG behavior" as there are that
government clerk should be thus
protected, yet man making such
proposition would be laughed off
the face of the earth; and he ought
to be.
If there was no other reason, the
fact that '.lIfe tenure i'm civil
positions is directly contrary to our
whole theory Of government is
enough to condemn this system in
the minds of right thinking men.
If we adopt the monarchial idea of
making the term an Office for life,
there is no reason why we should
not take step farther and make it
hereditary, which our present civil
service comes pretty near doing.
There is nothing in all our juris-
prudence that is so contrary to the
spirit of republican institutions as
our civil service system as now
administered. 1t is almost in
credible that such a parody on
legislation can exist.

INQUIRY TO BE SWEEPING.
Colorado Supreme Court Orders In
vestigation Of Election Frauds.

Denver, Dec. 30.-Chief Justice Cab
bert during the day announced the de-
ciSion Of the supreme court to grant
the petition Of Alva Adams, Demo.
cratic gOvernOr-elect, for the Openin 8
of all the ballot boxes used in Denver
at the late election and full investi-
cation of all frauds. Adams object in
filing the petition was to secure legal
determination Of the question whether
he or James H. Peabody is entitled to
fill the Office of governor of Colorado
for the next two years.
Chief Justice Gabbert said that
while the petition did not state facts
emitting the petitioner to such an in
yesJigation as proposed the court had
decided that general investig cation
might aid in discovering the guilty
persons who were responsible for the
commission of the gross frauds that
had been revealed in the contempt
proceedings. There must have been
some persons behind the election Off
GERS and others who committed frauds,
the court believed, to prompt the COM
mission of such frauds.
The court decided that the investi-
cation shall go into all frauds Of any
kind which constitute a violation of
the orders issued by the court prior
to the election. All ballot boxes will
be opened at the county courthouse
and the ballots and books be exam
inel by two experts, one to be ap-
pointed by counsel for the petitioner
and one by counsel for the people in
whose name the interference of the
court was originally sought. The court
will appoint referee, not to take teS-
timony, but to supervise the experts
examination and see that it is conduct
ed in accordance with courts orders.
