Supervisor stephen Desha returned las
week from Honolulu. Particular inter
est attached itself to his return owing

with him as the central figure. during
his recent stay in the capital First
there was the announcement that De

gentleman be nominated for supervisor

was the stand of Desha on the prohlbi-
ton question; and finally there was
the great debate between the HiIo man

Some Maui Politics.
WAILUKT. June 4.-Politlcs are
quiet on Maui. with but little political
activity in evidence. Politicians are
content to let prohibitionists occupy
the public eye, but the quiet is mis-
leading. for when the politician is not
in evidence as a rule he is busy in his
shirt sleeves. mapping out plans and

the public must hear from him.

MONEY MADNESS.

From the Dallas News
The charge is often made. at home as
well as abroad. that Americans are
money mad: and, OF course, there is am
pie ground for the accusation. There is
likewise ground for the broader assertion
that the whole world Is afflicted now and
has always been afflicted with the same
madness
The Spanish invaders were wild in their
search for gold; and the same may be
said OF all invaders. even from the begin
ming. since gold was found to be precious.
The enormous sums claimed by the
rulers and dignitaries OF the Old World
evidenced a greed for gold quite equal 20
that which we have developed; and there
Is a tone that is funny In the criticisms Of
American avarice by the thrifty keepers
OF pensions, restaurants. and hotels. and
by relic peddlers and various schools OF
professional swindlers and beggars IN
other countries and even by imported
lecturers who actually dilste over cur
avariee In cheap lectures for which We
have paid them a fancy pricel
We are an avaricicus people. to be sure,
but It is Just as well to add that avariee
Is a worldwide eiiment and always has
been such. There are victims OF avariee
to be found everywhere, as well as few
men and women who are not so greedy.
The love OF money is the same sort OF
root the world over.

Major Generals by Act Of Congress.

one Of the propositions upon which there
is Congressional disagreement is that
which proposes to promote to the grade
Of major general five or six brigadiers.
This will be accomplished by one Of those
sweeping clauses Incorporated in the army
appropriation bill in its passage through
the Senate. The House conferees on the
bin have refused TO agree to the benefi-
cent provision. There is injustice in this
attitude on the part of the House to the
extent that Congress has on another occa-
sion recently. by the same means, pro-
yided for the advancement OF as many
brigadiers as viii be favorably affected
by the pending clause. That is the danger
Of establishing a precedent. It must be
admitted, also. that this method of pro-
noting officers upon retirement for their
own advantage possesses a merit as COM
pared with the Executive act of favoritism
involved in selecting junior army officers
for brigadierships and jumping them over
the heads Of many seniors.
Asiuo iToIn these CONSIDERATIONS, now
ever. it must be questioned whether there
is any advantage to the public service in
making major generals in this fashion
Officers who have attained the grade OF
brigadier general in the army apparently
thereby have a claim 10 the next higher
grade. It will probably be an annual oe-
eurrenee, this legislation which favors GER
tain brigadiers on very general terms It
is well. however. to put the question up
TO Congress, and there the responsibility
rests. If Congress. which has the duty
Of checking service extravagances. con-
sents TO the abnormal advancement. there
can at least be no criticism Of Executive
favcritism.

A Just Executive Policy.

Tt is reassuring to learn that no whole
sale dismissals are 10 follow the steps
toward rerenchment now being taken in
some OF the departments, notably the
Treasury Employees whose services can
be dispensed with in one department are
TO be given the preference as vacancies
occur in other departments. Instead Of
calling upon the Civil Service Commits
sion for eIigibles TO fill vacancies, the
call will go 10 departments where clerks
can be spared.
This Executive policy is manifestly just
1t reveals a proper consideration for those
in the classified service who have done and
are doing their work faithfully. and who
are in no wise responsible for the OBJ
solete and expensive methods which It IS
proposed to correct.
Uncle SANS business should be handled
IN a businesslike way. It should be
handled as the business of great cor
porations is handled. The estimate
made by Senator Aldrich of the amount
Of money that may be saved by the
adoption of correct business methods is
startling. This money should be saved.
Such methods should be put into effect
But. as we have said, II is reassuring
that consideration is TO be given-the
fullest possible consideration-to the clas-
sifed employees not responsible for the
system and the obsolete methods that
have endured under it.

MR.. TAFTs CONSERVATISM.

From the He-ndon vsl Observer.
Recent Washington developments show
that President Taft IS proving worthy
successor OF Roosevelt in advancing the
centralizing and federalist tendencies OF
the Republican party. Conservative he
may be. but certainly not IN the sense Of
clinging to things that are past, save,
perhaps. as 70 the tariff. His policies are
essentially progressive, through wanting
in that sort Of radicalism which seeks 10
remold the existing social order by break
ing down the privileges Of wealth. Yet
what far-reaching changes IN our govern
mental institutions would be effected If
Taft should leave behind him Federal
incorporation law-the trusts given legal
standing and vast combinations OF capital
sanctioned by statute-and great central
bank Of issue. either to control or be con-
trolled by-time only would tell-the
money power OF Wall street. Who a few
years ago would have dared predict that
a Republican President would recommend
and a Republican Congress enact a postal
savings bank law. making the Federal
government the universal banker OF the
poor? Verify, the old order changeth. II
is not the first time In history that con-
servatives have put on the rags OF rsdi-
callsm-to keep themselves in power

A Cleaner Washington.

washington is clean city, compare
lively, but not as clean as the Capital
City ought to be, All praise. therefore,
10 the women engaged in the fine, sys-
tematic effort TO make it a clean city,
Residents themselves are TO blame, in
no small degree. for the lack OF general
cleanliness. A careless disregard of con-
ditions and an inattention to the work
Of servants furnish the explanation. Once
the proper spirit be aroused-and the
women are starting in the right way TO
arouse tia better and more wholesome
state OF things win inevitably follow.
But the city itself. as controlled by the
District authorities, is not we'll kept. II
is far from well kept. The streets are
seldom clean They are not kept clean.
Perhaps Congress does not appropriate
enough money 10 do the work thoroughly,
as 1t should be done That is the usual
excuse, we know. But the fact remains
that even our principal thoroughfares
are often dirty. and there are signs OF
municipal slovenIiness on many sides.
The entire city needs constant, vigilant
attention.
1t IS only fair 20 state that more eff
cient work has been done in recent
months by the STRENGTHENING department
and there is evidence Of continued i'm
provement; but the maximum Of results
has not yet been reached.
The opening Of the spring should see
Washington cleaner than it has ever been
before. Clean it and keep it clean. Let
it be the cleanest. best-kept city on the
American continent That is what the
Capital ought TO be.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Greatest Novel of the Nineteenth Century"
February rs.

In Les MiserabIes" Victor Hugo has
written, what the reading world accepts
almost without dissent, as the greatest
novel of the nineteenth century. To-day
Is his birthday, and, as usual. throughout
France the people WILL in many ways,
show their esteem, for his fame Is in
ereasing with each year, not only in his
own country. but the world at large. Nor
as novelist alone is he famous. By
virtue of his lyrics and his dramas he
belongs TO the first rank Of French poets.
AS an orator, he is second among French
men only to Mirabeau-and not. indeed.
TO Mlrabeau himself in the field where
the highest success depends on giving the
fullest possible expression TO the deepest
and strongest emotion.
Not in literature or the rostrum alone
was Hugo great, but since the time OF
Alcaeus. genius has never done itself
greater honor than in his struggle for
French liberty. which ended for him in
defeat and exile.
The literary style which Hugo made Sc
celebrated in LES Miserables" is essen
TALLY oratorical. No writer with less
genius than his own could have sustained
it in so extensive a work; but no matter
how hlgh-pitched seems his mode OF ex-
preston, his thought is always pitched
above IT,
Among the finest OF his oratorical efforts
were his funeral Grafton delivered over
