that the members Of the bar of Littleton
recalled with pride the fact that Judge
Bingham was a native of that section or
the valley of the Connecticut. and that the
town in which he first saw the light Is
one contiguous to that one in which the
ceremonies were being held. While the
more important parts of his lffe's work
were performed. the resolutions declared,
IN other sections of a common country, the
old New England home and the frlends
and associations of his youthful years were
deep in his affections.
Capt Harry Bingham, son of the late
chief Justice has been notified by promi-
nent members of the bar OF ooluillpus,
Ohio. that a dav will be shortly set aside
there for memorial services over the death
of Judge Bingham. who was serving as
iudge of common pleas in Columbus when
annointed by President Cleveland to De
chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF the
District OF Columbia. -,

providing that the District OF Columb. a
should be governed by three Commissioners
two of whom are civilians and the third
an officer of the Engineer Corps of the
army.
He detailed the method of appointing in
the police force, showing that ii was inn
possible for any one to secure position
as a policeman unless he passed mental
eXamiT,atio which demonstrated that he
possessed common school education and a
fair degree of intelligence, WIZ e the physi-
cal examination which the applicant under
went is as rigid life insurance test.
'lnasmuch,' said the speaker, ''as there
is no political influence to keep undeserving
men upon the force. and as the proof of
wrOngdoing results in instant dismissal, the
police department is singularly free from
scandal and does its work in quiet and eff
fective manner. The conditions which pre-
vail in other cities do not and cannot exist
in the National capital.
Commissioner West also presented an in
teresting resume of the powers of the Dis
trict Commissioners. showing that they were
given authority by Congress to enact laws
effecting every phase of police adminiStra
ton, sanitary protection and other fea-
lures of municipal supervision. and said
that the latitude of the authority of the
Commissioners was only bounded by the
question whether the ordinances enacted by
them were usual and reasonable.
The government of the District of Co
lumbia,' he said in conclusion, lis free
from official dishonesty; it responds read
lily to public sentiment, and pursues the
even tenor of its way without the turmoil
of politics. Under its operation the Ma
tiOnal capital has become the mecca of
large numbers of wealthy individuals who
have accumulated fortunes e sewhere and
can enjoy the fruits of their labors amid
a cosmopolitan society with Clearly sur
roundings and free from the disturbances
of local politics. The Commissioners. I'M
embarrassed by considerations which are
potent elsewhere. can devote their time to
the betterment of the city, ard that this is
the case is shown by the activity exhibited
in matters relating to social Improvement.
There is an earnest endeavor to keep pace
in the evolution of municipal administra-
ton with the work done by Congress
toward the physical improvement of the
National capital

SIGN OF GOOD FEELING.
Celebration at the Ecuadorian Capital
of Chilean Independence.

A gratifying sign of the era of good feel
ing that is spreading in the southern re-
publics as the result of recent negotiations
looking to the peaceful adjustment of In
ternational disputes Is afforded by cable
gram received at the State Department to-
day from American Minister Fox at Quito,
dated yesterday, in which he says that the
people there were celebrating with great
enthusiasm the anniversary of the Chilean
independence day. This was being done by
special decree of President Alfaro, and was
in a manner an answer in kindly spirit to
the action of the Chilean people, who some
time ago celebrated the anniversary OF the
Ecuadorian liberation.
