Patronage.

The present scenes in Washington do
not rival those Of the corresponding pc
Rod ihAlSS5. Neither at the White House
nor at any of the departments is there
the crush of visitors which marked the
first days of Mr.. Cleveland's first admin
istration. Neither are the hotel Hobbies
damned as then. Not half as many
groups of officeseekers are TO be observed
sitting in committees of the whole on the
state of the Union.
In 1885 twenty-eight years had elapsed
since the Inauguration of a democratic
President. Between Buchanan's day and
Cleveland's day democrats had only
looked on when federal favors were be-
ing distributed. Naturally. therefore,
when the time at last arrived for them
to share in the distribution they crowd
ed forward and made their wants known.
A'sreat many made the journey to this
town. and some of them fingered for
months in an effort to secure recogni-
ton.
Almost as long a time divides Cleve-
land and Wilson. The actual figure is
twenty years; and to warm partisan
they have been long years. And yet
there is not as yet as great hunger ex-
1855 or 1893. What explains It? :
May it not be due in part to the differ
ence in conditions throughout the coun-
try? In 1885 we had not got into our
great national hustle In 1898 we had but
recently struck that pace. There was
business, and much of it remunerative.
but the rewards of private employment
were not as large and tempting as they
roff-was a strong lure. and men strug-
gied xn.get their names recorded on 1t.
He paid well. and his checks were never
DELAYED
TODAY the country is flush and flourish
ing. Private enterprises are numerous.
and nisny Of them gigantic. Competent
men are reveling in rare opportunities.
There Is brisk bidding for their services.
Salaries are. high. BY comparison, Uncle
Sam is no longer a tempting employer to
all classes. The better equipped men
prefer private to public life. They find
more comfort in 1t. and other returns to
their tastes.
There are, understand, no good govern
ment jobs going begging. or likely to do
so. The politicians are finding healthy
appetites the rule among their constitu-
ents. For every desirable place there are
appsi1ents, and for some a number. But

and that when men are giving heed to It's
continuance, let all Of us rejoice. The
government will never lack for compe-
tent servants. and those in commission
should not be hustled merely for q
change.

American Troops on Parade.
From the New York Sun

There has been some sharp criticism Of
the appearance Of military organizations
that took part in the inaugural parade at
Washington. 1t IL not necessary to agree
In detail with these critics to own the
hard impeachment of the appearance of
most military bodies on parade. Nor do
all the regulars. on foot or mounted,
look as smart and trim as they should.
The remedy in one case Is with the War
Department: In the other an appeal to
state pride seems to be In order. 1t is
high time there was q general "sprucing
up among the military.

contribute not so much to the mere relief
of suffering as TO its prevention. To this
end she gave COO for the endowment
of the Russell Sage Foundation "for the
improvement of social and living condi-

divided among ten departments which
