GARRISON QUITS OFFICE
RETIRING SURVEYOR WARNS
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
In a Critical Condition, He Declares,
and Must Put House
in Order.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Mistress Olivia
Clarkson. four years old, beautiful ana
bewitching with her baby blue eyes and
dimpled face, assisted her grandfather.
Gen. James s. Clarkson. surveyor OF the
port of New York, to retire from ONCE
yesterday noon, at the expiration OF his
eight-year term.
While Gen. Clarkson was bidding fare
well to the employees and many friends
Mistress Olivia made her appearance.
Clad in a pretty white frock and with
blue ribbon holding back a mass OF
of her grandfather and throughout the
her plump little hand to all Of those who
shook the hand Of the general
Before Mistress Olivia entered the room
there was q feeling of depression. Tears
were in the eyes of nearly every man
present and many did not wait to hear
what Gen. Clarkson might have to say
upon leaving Office for fear their feelings
tress Olivia entered. smiling with de-
light at the thought of having a place
in the party" this feeling of depression
was dispelled. The child had something
nice to say to every one.
Warning to Party.
After the ceremony Gen. Clarkson is
sued a statement to the press, in which
he told how the Office of surveyor has
been shorn of it's responsibility. He also
sounded warning to the republican
party. His statement, in part, is as fol-
lows:
Aside from the severance Of personal
relations in the surveyors department
a. Of doIf0hta6 a xyiu
public office, because of q natural prefer
ence for that freedom of speech which is
not, theoretically, permitted to those in
the federai service. l believe the coming
three years hold more opportunity for
political discussion than in a generation
past.
Formerly we republicans made our
campaign by straight-from-the-sho
politics. by actually and honestly gain
ing for the party q majority Of the votes
in the nation. We then had little money
on which to make q national canvass. In
the Blaine campaign. for example. we
had less than $4O0OOO half OF which was
contributed by Mr.. Blaine himself. with
which to carry on one Of the bitterest
fights in American political strategy-as
against the millions used in recent years.
In a Critical Condition.
1.-The republican party is. in my opinion,
in more critical condition than at any
time In its history. What it needs to do
now il to retrieve its mistakes of recent
years and not to enter into explanations.
1.-The only way in which the republican
party can hold its own is to put its
house in order without fear or favor all
along the line, no longer combining itself
to issues largely sordd and mercenary,
and thus relieve itself from its present
position of self-defense. the most humil-
iating pass in the destiny of political
party"

Politicians Not Wanted.

In making the announcements the gov
ernor said:
Il have tried in making these ap-
pointments to select the very highest type
of men in the state. 1 have tried to get
men who are not only not in politics. but
who have no political ambitions of any
sort. / want to say that | have not
spoken to any one of the men named on
the subject. I have not asked any one
of them whether he will serve on the
commission or not / have taken II FOR
granted that no philosophical man in
Maryland will decline to accept appoint
ment on the public service commission
when he realizes the service he can rem
der to the people Of the whole state.
AS most of the public service corpora
tons are In Baltimore the governor at the
beginning decided that two Baltimoreans
should be named on the commission.
Salaries of Commissioners.
Within the next few days the governor
will designate the length of the term Of
each of the commissioners. Under the
provisions of the bill one is to be named
for two years, another Tor four and the
third for six years. After that all COM
missioners are to be appointed for full
term of six years. BY this plan the term
of one commissioner will expire every
two years. This was done to avoid any
sweeping change in the personnel of the
commission, thus suddenly changing its
policy 1t is expected that Judge Pearce
will be named for the six-year term. AS
chairman he will receive $4,000 a year.
while the other commissioners will re-
ceive 5000 each.
The governor expects to go to New
York to investigate the workings of the
two commissions there. He may be ac-
companied by the members o. the Mary
land commission.
One Of the first employees to be selected
by the commission will be that of secre-
tary Justice Alva H. Tyson Of the
northwestern district was mentioned for
this place yesterday.

When the American Boy Scouts of
Brooklyn paraded a short time ago
they were headed by a military band
composed of boy members. They turn
ed out 5000 strong. Over the entire
length of the three mile march hun
dreds of thousands of people cheered
and waved flags and otherwise encour-
aged the lads, and as the bands broke
forth in martial strains the lads swung
along like so-many veterans. Those
who witnessed the parade were amazed
with the soldierly appearance and the
precision with which the boys per-
formed their evolutions.
There were many features in the
parade, showing the scout from the
recruit stage to the finished product.
There were Red Cross patrols, the mem

auXiliaRies, who~aet as nurses, and the
signal corps, composed of boys who
have learned to use the semaphore and
to '"wfgwag'' as well as those who are
studying wireless telegraphy.
With the exception of a few recruits,
all the boys wore the olive drab uni
form. Some of them carried blankets
and other camp paraphernalia, and
one company was armed with rifles.

The Evening Chit Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

T-HE lady who came to spend the day with mother yesterday brought
her little grandchild. And at four o'clock, when school was out. the
little girl next door and the little girl from two doors down the
street came over to play dolls with her.
Mother produced some of the old family playthdngs in the way of
dolls furniture for them. and for awhile they played most happily in the
next room to my study. And then, all at once, 1 as conscious of a dis
cord. The dispute concerned the arrangement of the furniture.
But they never have bureaus in parlors" 1 heard.
Yes they do; When we lived in the boarding house we had a
bureau in u paror behind the screen"
But We haven't got a screen"
81 don't care. We've got to have the bureau in the panor because if
we don't there1l only be a piano and a chair, and you can't have a parlor
with just,a piano and a chair. "
But you can't have a bureau in a parlor, and I won't"
= Then l won't play, and I don't like you, and I'm going down and
get grandma to take me home. 1 don't want to play with you. So there!"
This last remark, delivered in a shrHl tone, audible all over the
house, brought grandmother to the scene of action.
Madeline, don't you dare say that naughty thing again" she re-
they want to. You know you can't have you own way all the time
Chats the worst thing about Madeline" she explained to m e sub
seque6tly, when comparative peace had been restored. when she can't
have her own way she sits down and says / won. play I think that's a
terrible trait n a child. If she were my child I'd break her of 1t no
matter what 1 had to do" :
With difficulty I depressed a smile. Not because don't agree with
grandmother. I do, thoroughly. I don't know any trait dislike more in
a child than the II won't play habit. Tut you se I dislike it even more
In grown-ups. And that's why 1 smiled.
For nee on a time Madelnes grandmother used to be a very active
member of a certain club. She isn't any longer because the club voted to
change its place of meeting to nj more generally accessible. Madeines
grandmother vigorously opposed the move, but lost. Therefore she said
d gfoWn-upe equivalent to Il won't play, n left III club n wrath.
There is a woman in our neghborhood who used to be a strong
church member but who hasn't been inside the church this year: She
thought the society needed a change of ministers. The trustees thought
hasn't been inside the church since.
Two of my neighbors, who re usually active workers in the church
to hire a larger hall for the sale, and the majority of the worshippers
deemed that unwise. SO these highly charitable and religious folks said,
"We won't play" and retired into their respective corners to sulk and
hope the fair would be a failure.
But why multiply instances? You know the 81 won't play folks as
well as L do.
And hate them as much, I have 10 doubt.
So, of course, 1 don't need to suggest that you be sure not to re-
semble them in the slightest degree.

pectaliy have welcomed the skirt, be-
cause 1t has the appearance Of increas-
ing their height. Women are naturally
eager to look as becoming as possible,
and any fashion which helps toward
this may become popular among many
OF them. AS an Instance / may men
