In the Departments
Senator FnAKora MATUON COOTIWITI of
Missouri Is still In Washington collecting
information for tho uso of the Scnalo com
mittee nppolntodxt tho lost session t In
vestigate tho methods of doing business In
tho executive departments Tho first mot
Ing of that committee will b hold In Juno
e that Mr Cooicnviiii will Imvo plenty
limo for his Investigations Wo want to
sco ho says whether It I tho Adminis
tration or Congress that Is responsible for
the ai roars of work and for tho slowness
with which tho work of tho Government I
performed
Ills Investigations will probably bring him
t the conclusion that Congress Is not responsible
sponsible Thor has always been a demand
from tho departments for more men yet
whenever an extraordinary pressure has
been exerted as for Instance when the pres
ent Administration came Into power and b
fore It Bottled Into Republican routine It has
boon fond that tho arrears of woik In any
department can cosily b wiped out
The simple fact I that the persons em
I ployed In the executive departments seldom
overexert themselves I tho Administra
tion had taken upon Itself t perform tho
first duty which tho Democratic party ex
poctedof It t Institute I a thorough reform
and Improved methods in tho departments
tho Government business would now be
transacted with more efficiency and probably
with moro economy of labor than have prevailed
veiled or now prevail Tho unity and
coherency of spirit and purpose which might
have been secured by tho employment of
officials thoroughly Interested In tho success
of tho Democracy have not boon attained
Tho men and methods employed under Re
publican Administrations havo been retained
t an Indefensible extent and under such
circumstances a great Improvement the de
BjNitch of business cannot b expected This
i of course tho fault pt the Administration
Mr CoouiEiiii maybo able to
CVUILl DaylJ acquire a
knowledge of the methods in which the busl
iiertt of tho departments Is transacted and of
the officials who transact It which will b of
use to the Democratic party u well u t his
committee The Administration has missed
n great opportunity u well u foiled In Its
dut in not careful
duty I making carofll investigations
and thorough changes In 1 all the departments
Dr McGlyuuft Address
To soy that tho Rev Dr McGurxNs ad
dress at the Academy of Music on Tuesday
evening was a remarkable Intellectual
wu rmarknble Intlectuu per
formance I t do It imperfect justice The
address Is entitled t rank with those great
orations which at critical times and from
the mouths of men of genius have swayed
tho course of public opinion and changed the
onward movement of nations
onwnr Iltons
We do not mean by this that In our opin
ion Dr McGiraN 1 right either In tho as
sumptions ho makes of facts or in the conse
quences he draws from those assumptions
On tho believe him to bo
contrary we beleo b wrong
in both and that time will show it But he
has presented his views so plausibly and with
such seductive eloquence that for tho mo
ment he cannot fall t carry multitudes with
him The miseries of human life are so over
whelming and press 6 hardly upon every
one of us that the apparently easy and p
tent remedy for them proposed by tho rev
erend orator Is certain t win a great deal of
immclat favor especially u tho applica
tion of It Involves loss to but
ton Inolveslos t a comparative
ly few and gain t tho comparatively many
Dr SIcGLYNNs fundamental position that
the rent of land belongs t the community
and that I it wore paid t tho community
instead of being paid u at present individ
uolsthero would bo no need of any other taxes
4 but on tho contrary a surplus which might
b devoted t public Improvements is of
borrowed from HEJJKY GEORGE Like
course brwe l IY GIOIOE Llo
HENIIV GEORGE too Dr McGiiTON contents
himself with asserting the proposition with
out adducing any evidence of facts t sup
port it Of tho money which would bo raised
by rent confiscation ho says
14 This magnificent fund would go to support all public
burden would do a great deal more than I done n
present by the present tax levy for a common purpose
you would have larger and more beautiful and more
numerous parks you would be able to sweep away the
greater part ot the wretched rookeries that under the
name ot tenement houses are a sin and a shame and
are a blot upon the fair name and fame of this beautiful
city and Instead of those the best class of houses will be
built nnd we will Imv e parks with trees and lowers and
pinging of birds to make glad and beautify this Island and
Jon s children and will thereby add enormously to the
value of the surrounding land and then It would bo
no longer Quixotic for a man of sound business prlncl
pies t build rapid transit railroads of solid foundations
o which trains could travel at the rate of thirty me
a hour for twenty thirty or forty miles Into the ul
orbs to give home to all the people from which they
could come and go every day and lu which they could
enjoy some of natures life by which they could get the
sun and the air green tickle and llowrn This I no
fanciful sketch It Is I entirely feasible and In every view 1
It could be brought about I a majority of the Intelligent
citizens would become convinced of the truth of this doo
trine and would carry I Into practice and deposit their
ballots In the ballot box In favor of this thing
Cold arithmetic ply havoc with this at
tractive picture In no locality in this coun
try Is tho rental value of land higher In pro
portion t its area than it I in tills city and
yet that rental value in the aggregate Is not
only far from exceeding tho public needs but
It falls considerably short of them Tho an
nual expenditures of tho city Government
are about 33000000 while tho aggregate a
sessed value of all the nal 1 estate within the
Its limits improvements included Is
125727DOOJ Deducting only onolmlf of
this amount for tho value of tho improve
ments which is much too little there re
mains 628037931 and a rental of oven four
per cent cm this sum which would L I I
moro than could bo obtained by the city Gov
ernment would b only 25115518 or nearly
7000000 less than wo collect under tho pr
cut system This allows nothing for Federal
3 taxation which at S5 per head may b reck
oned at 7000000 more When too it Is con
sidered that the value of city lots I largely
composed of assessments for the cost of grad
ing pavlWi sewering nnd other work neees
gary foVlhoir use respective of tho build
ings upon them this estimate will bo seen to
upn too favorable to Dr Mc
4 b I anything to fnvofblo t Mc
GLTNNS thcoi y
Another fallacy adopted by Dr McOLYtm
and upon which ho Insists with his mot be
guiling eloquence Is that the Creator of tho
unlversa hu provided tho necessaries of lifo
lor u his creatures mid that it I only inanH
perversity which praventtt any one from get
ting his sham ot thorn W < wish from tho
bottom of our heaita that this were 8 but
to declare that it is not
stern facts compel us t dnchlr I
bo Uvwits happening every day In every
hart of tho world demonstrate that multitudes
tudes of human beings are born who with
out any let or hindrance from their fellow

and nltpcrvadlng change In human nature
and above all in human capacity such as
Christianity has not been able t effect in
two thousand years nor unaided human in

usWhat
What will Churchill Do
Tho fact that Mr Goscuiaf a Liberal
UnionIst has ben called upon to play tho
part of chief defender of tho Ministry In
the debate upon the Crimes bill n well as In
the antecedent discussion of tho urgency
proposal must mortify Conservatives and
prO particularly galling t Lord RAN
DOLPH CntmciiiLL So sharply contrasted
are the characters tho present and tho lute
Chancellor of the Exchequer that neither I
qualified t appreciate tho other Lord RAN
DOLiH may fall t recognize tho forensic
effectiveness of businesslike statement nnd
cool ratiocination arid Mr GoscitEN quite o
certainly is disposed t undervalue the
electrifying qualities of tho Tory HOTSPUB
The latter never was a man t say ditto t
Mr BuiiKE and when wo remember how ho
elbowed out of his path such veteran leaders
of his party as NOHTHCOTE and Cnossvvo
cannot expect t see him now that ho has
returned t London with renewed vitality
accept tho role of satellite t one whom he
deems an interloper In the Cabinet
It Is apparently significant that since ho
cajuo back from tho Continent nothing has
been sid about Cliuncmiils reeiitoring
ho Ministry Rumors to that effect would
certainly have boon started by his followers
I he had indicated a willingness t resume
office The reserve ho hn maintained on
this subject may mask a doubt of the
expediency of the bullying attitude toward
Ireland tho Government
Irlnnd adopted by Gverment
and a purpose of Intervening at some
decisive moment t soften tho harsher
features of the BALFOUH Crimes bill I not
t condemn in toto a resort t force until
some palliatives In tho shape of a suspension
of evictions and a sing of rents shall have
been tried I any material changes in the
measure now before the House were made at
3iixmcHiiiis dictation Mr GOSCHENS posi I
tion would b intolerable to a man of selfre
spect since in Tuesdays debate he publicly i
defended the most stringent and offensive
clauses of tho bill
That CnuncuiLii is strong enough to force
ho Government t at least mitigate tho
Draconian severity of their coercion pr
will bo While ho
gramme wl hardly b disputed Whie
still absent the Continent than
was st nbnt on to Cntient moro
thirty Conservatives wore missing at the
muster of their party votes on the urgency
imposition For a man who hn prt g s
and allies in the Cabinet itself and who ha
acquired s strong a hold upon the Tory
masses it should not b difficult t gather a
la er by of protestants against the shock
of the DALFOUR bill to authorize
tog proposal ALFOUR bl t authorzo
Ireland to London
a change of venue from Ielad t Lndon
and the unprecedented clause Riving un
limited duration t the subversion of com
mon law rights In a part of tho United King
dom I but fifty Conservative members
should follow Lord RANDOLPH in
folow Lor RADOLPH pronounc
ing such odious anomalies unwarranted by
any aspect of the Irish situation they
would place the Government in a minority
and force It to submit to tho excision of tho
most objectionable proposals In committee
the BALFOUB would
Thus maimed lALFOUI measure wOlld
fall t satisfy anybody and after successive
postponements might b suffered to drop
Something else would be likely t drop at
tho same time namely the element which
hu displaced CHUIICIIILIJ in tho Cabinet
and which is most prominently represented
by Mr GOSCHEN Nor would the fact that
Mr BALFOURS resignation of his ofllce
would no doubt follow tho withdrawal or
even the emasculation of his bill be apt t
acutely distress Lord RANDOLPH who has
ceased to hold himself a debtor t the pres
ent Irish Secretary for his whilom co
operation in tho now defunct fourth party
which consisted of four members I was he
who raised his former colleagues t a place
of power and not they him
That in tho actual conjuncture Lord RAN
DOLPH has an opportunity of reasserting his
Individual importance in a sensational way
Is patent oven t onlookers By n welltimed
and successful protest against tho most ol
noxious features of the Crimes bill ho might
not only benefit himself but signally pro
mote tho future advancement of his party
It was by Insisting that coercion should give
place t conciliation that ho first acquired a
Cabinet office and by no other line of con
duct will ho ever become Prime Minister
An Old Story
Wo think that Mr HOUGH deserves moro
of ourattentlon than tho majority of Indi
viduals who have sent us communications of
a nature similar t this
I was forced to drop our paper during the bit Pre
Identlal campaign and I felt Its loss keenly
Yesterday I bought a copy of the Sunday Sac and a
grand paper It was I enjoyed It ever 1 much until I
the referring to the President
ciiiue to quotation rrerlul t A
1 that damned old hind quarter of beef up at the White
house I liavon any special love for CLUTEHKO but
such a quotation Is I unworthy a great paper hood by
for good WL T HOUGH
We are sorry for our friend HOUGH for he
seems about t foico himself again into a
dally deprivation of something that ho
greatly likes and that would always do him
u power of OIn very unwise aut in our
opinion But It In proper t Inform him of
two circumstances probably unknown to him
at prcicut namely that Senator Iuau of
Alabama is a very able and voiy prominent
Democratic Senator and that tho ht Ittul I
Daily Ulobe In which this remark attributed
to Senator Pools originally appeared Is tho
most important and influential Democratic
journal in tho Northwest While Mr PUOIIH
saying is queer and comical in itself and
worth roiidiiig as aspocimonof dry American
humor It 1 not complimentary t Mr CLEVE
LAND mid It does not pretend t b strictly
accurate but it forms a noticeable nmnl
fcbtatioii on tho part both of tho Senator anti
of this grout Minnesota journal and tomen
Interested In politics It Is full of instruction
Such expressions in Republican newspapers
are of very little account and TUB SUN IoU
them go by unnoticed so far as it is con
cerned but appearing this did il u regular
Democratic organ of the ilrst Importance its
significance Is very different and of far
slrnlfcno ver dltornt
greater moment t tho Democrats thon
pages of twaddling praise would L from
any ordinary source
However I Mr buff likes t hear of Mr
LEVKLANDB greatness and not of his weak
points let him ask some friend t read t him
TiE SUNS criticisms upon Mr CLEVELAND
that ore favorable and leave out those that
nro otherwise Ho will find some of each
kind and though lie will b apt t get a
pretty onesided view of tho subject ho will
at least not b entirely deprived of SUN light
Stanleys March
STANLEY expedition reached Matadl tho
head of navigation on the lower Congo a
week ago It Is now no doubt In tho midst
of Its first lane march following the sinu
osities of tho groat river In tho most crooked
part of Its course along tho Congo cataracts
Many of tho 620 Zanzibar carriers know the
route well and helped t build the road to
Stanley Pool along which they are now
carrying ammunition many tons of trading goods nnd
It is to 0 hoped that STANLEY likes tho
aspect of things better than when ho was
lot on the Congo Then ho was tearing his
huh In bitter vexation of spirit because
vhilo ho hail been for months
whlo bn away many on
ho upper river his agents at a number of
ho stations which ho I now marching
through had permitted tho buildings to g
t nun grass t choke tho gardens and the
natives t become unfriendly Matters have
somewhat Improved on tho lower Congo
The stations wear a smarter appearance
sttons smnrr nppnrnco
nnd by order of King LEOPOLD tho garri
sons of tho principal posts are turning out
under arms when STANLEY looms Into view
and salutes of twentyone guns are filing In
honor of the first AdministratorGeneral of
ho Congo enterprise
Tho blue flag of tho Congo State will soon
ly again at Stanley Falls inasmuch u TIP
PU Tin who is boss in that region is now
hurrying up the river with a commission in
his pocket a GovernorGeneral of the Stan
hey Falls district in tho service of King LEO
POLD He hu doubtless received a good
round sum for calling off his armed Arabs
who have been having tilings their
bn havig thigs own way
for some months
Tho third day after tho expedition debarks
at Stanley Falls a strong advance party will
push on toward tho Albert Nyanza and tho
main column will follow it as soon n possible
Pretty Late
Tho Rhode Ilnnd < lecton will b held next
week and Mr CLEVELAND has apparently
just heard of tho fact Tho United States
klarshalship for that State tho Postmaster
ship of Providence and other offices have
been given t Rhode Island Democrats nt a
time when it I particularly important that
they should b in good humor Considering
how few Federal offices there are in the
statelet Mr CLEVELANDS recent dlstrlbu
ton of them may b regarded u timely
would have been deal timely
I ben a good dea more tmo
ly I however if it had occurred a good deal
In Rhode Island elsewhere there
sooner Rhoe u elswher thcr
are Democrats who while they may admit
the rule of better late than lever arc still
irritated that ho has been 6 tardy and that
6 many Republican officeholders have been
allowed t servo out their terms Instead of
being mao t give up their places ut once
to Democrats
t DeDomts
We hope that Mr CLEVELANDS appoint
ments In Rhode Island may strengthen tho
pry there but with 1835 so fur away and
lBS 6 near his appointments may now b
regarded as mado rather for tho purpose of
strengthening himself in tho next Demo
cratic National Convention than of strength
ening his party For the latter purpose ho
should have begun earlier
Tho Peoples Mayor
I happen to reside In the neighborhood of a
small private park which is I reserved for the use of the
lamllles of the adjacent lot owners It Is I a sad night t
behold the children of the poor looking wistfully from
the outside of the locked gates upon the children of the
rich enjoying themselves within the enclosure
Aldermen So writes Mayor HEWITT to tho Board of
Gramercy Park is tho enclosure t which
bo refers
Ho goes on t say that if a few owners of
property can afford t provide in this manner
for thin health and recreation of their
families this great city ought not t spend
money on Pelhom Bay Park of which the
poor can make little use but should make
some provision for the outdoor life of tho
people and especially for children within
the city limits
Wo call attention to these utterances of
Mr IRwIn not so much to commend their
wisdom which is evident to the
widom i eldent o t praise to
spirit which they manifest
They show the Mayor t b a man of
warm sympathies who heart Is In tho
right place a true friend of tho people
We have no doubt that Mr ELAINE Is per
fectly honest In his intention not to interfere
In any way with the decision of tho National
Republican Convention ncxt > eur He has once
been the Republican candidate for President
and hints been beaten and It Is creditable to
his good SCUM that ho should determine
that If ho is to nm again i shah be
thin unassisted determination and act of the
Republican party Itself Wo do not believe
that MrBrAiNK roallydoilrod to be nominated
In 1884 and wo have no Idea that ho desires to
bo nominated now At the santo time It is not

WASHINGTON March 30Tho points of dlf
oronco between Llout0on Sheridan and the
Secretary of War are multiplying vory fast
Tho latest of them has crown out of the meth
od of putting Into operation tho recent Gen
eral Order No Hln which by direction of Mr i
Endlcott tho following regulation was pub
shed to tho army and numbered as paragraph
155i of tho revised regulations
IKAf llcirlmental Adjutants and regimental Quarter
masters may bold office for tour years and no longer
and will not be ellnlbls for a second tour of inch duly I
nor hal an ofllccr who has served In either ot these po
sitions be eligible for appointment In the other except to
n au unexplred tern of four rear
Tho object of thin order wag to extend to reg
imental staff details the rule which Secretary
Cndtcott laid down Boon after his accession to
tho War Department in regard t department
division and army headquarters staff duty The
general impression is no doubt that in time
of peace I is doslrablo on many accounts that
no Lieutenant should servo on tho regimental
staff during moro than four yean in succes
sion Longer continued absence may give his
Fellow company ofllcors a unnecessarily
heavy load of duties to carry and in
addition it is desirable that an inter
change of headquarters and company service
should tit each subaltern AS far as possible for
various duties of Ida profession llosldos as
Is frequently the case n detail to tho regi
mental staff Is a rolef from the monotony of
company duty It might fairly be shared bias
many as possible of the Lieutenants of tho
regiment Tho case would bo different of
course In titan of war when It might bo nn
wise to break up the continuity of service
through some aibltrary rule like tho present
I U also conceivable that there might bo a
difference between tho cases of army head
quarters and regimental headquarters oven in
time of peace
Hut the specific trouble in the present case
has occurred not in regard to tho general value
of the now rgar In its practical en
forcement On receipt of tho general order al
ready cited senile artillery Colonels Inquired of
Gen blieridun an the omcer In immediate
command of the army whether those Lieu
tenants who were then performing a tour of
light battery service were eligible for staff ap
pointment as regimental Adjutants and Quar
termasters Tim IJoutonantGonoral was not
then prepared to make a hypothetical decision
but suggested that the regimental command
ers should make their appointments and that
ho would then decide whether these appoint
ments came ithln tho new regulation Light
battery Lieutenants thereupon did receive
such appointments and Gon Sheridan then
confirmed thorn apparently on the ground that
there was nothing In the language of time new
regulation preventing their selection
r1ulaton tllr Ilecton
I chanced that tlio Secretary was absent
from Washington ut the time and on his return
ho revoked evory one of those appointments
leaving some of the artillery regiments with
out In stuff ofllrere at all This revocation
vas itself made after Gon Bherldan and start
ed on his tour of inspection of the Western
forts and this fact coupled with some previ
ous Incidents might pardonably suggest to
both these high officers that the absonce of
either Is the time not least likely to be chosen
For a not wholly nereeablo assertion of authori
ty by tho other The present trouble following
so rlosely tho one with SurgeonGeneral I Moore

Sarah lioruhnrdt and 1r Lanstryand Mmo

on the loft an the spectator faces the stage All

commotion caused by the entrance of tho two
famous actresses spread quickly over the
house nnd everybody know that they wore
there Opera glasses wore trained on the box
and for a tlmo It noomod as I tho visitors would
get moro attention than Miss Fanny Daven

The box rail was so high that nil tho audi
once could see was the head and shoulders of
II occupants Mrs Lnngtry woro 1 brown hat
of tho conventional high style so objectionable
when it is In front of one at the theatre and
Mme Dornhardt wore a low black bonnet
There was another lady with them In tho box
whom no one recognized Bho snt at tho front
nearly facing tho audience and M llernhurdt
sat just behind her Mrs Langtry sat next
and when her purplo fan was lot before her
face rtnnnlft could ROD hnr nAlnhrntml urnllln I
was the subject of much comment nnd discus
sion among tho spectators and thin old question
of her beauty wan thrashed over again
Mmo JJernlmnlt Sit so that the curtain of
tho box concealed her entirely but now mid
then tho rapid Hashing of her black fnl IOW could
bo scon nnd this llttlo favor was thankfully re
ceived Between the acts hundreds of ladies
tried to crowd around to thin aisle on tho
right of the auditorium that they might
look directly Into tho box and son nil that was
thoro but they wore disappointed for Mrs
Langtry and Umo Bcrnhardt withdrew Into
the back part whore they conversed with
favored acqimlntanciH who called
They made a live y party Mm Lnngtry
whispered a great deal with Mmo Bornhartit
who smiled and often wont so far as to laugh
quietly but heartily The unknown lady aim
found occasion to put her face behind a fan
several times and speak to one or other of her
companions Mmo liernlmrdt devoted horelf
almost entirely to the jicrtormnn e
At tho end of each net both ot time actresses
spatted their gloved hands together vigorous
ly anti when the curtain rose on a recall nt tim

The friends of young 3Ir Henry S Ives
the wouldbe railroad mngnnto and banker
say that bo has succeeded In convincing Mr
Robert Garrett that nt some later dato ho may
be big enough to buy Mr Ilobort Garretts
Baltimore and Ohio stock nt t225 per slmro
and that of Mr Garrotts fellow citizens and
the Johns Hopkins Unhomtty at 175 per
share It is doubtless thin possibility that this
may bo done that blinds Mr Garrett to thin
character of the people ho is dealing with or
rather trying to deal with and also makes him
ignore the fact that oven it Ivcs and his party
should buy time road they could do noth
ing to Improve It or tho city of Baltimore The
fact remains that Ivos has scraped together
what securities anti money ho could antI do
posited them with Mr Unrrutt for an extension
of his option upon u majority of the Baltimore
and Ohio stock
Homo people assort that what amounts to
tl000000 has been paid But those in a
position to know say that this is unlikely and
that the more recent transaction nlmply
amounts supplying Mr Ourrott with nlittio
moro pockot money until ho can sell Ills In
heritance Time option has boon extended to
April 35 pending tlio conventional oxumliuit
of the goods offered for sale and It is stated on
good authority that If Mr Ives has not grown
up to the job of buying the road by that time
he can have his option extended presumably
by supplying more pocket money to the would
be seller People who are not friendly to Mr
Ives and It seems that there mire n few who tire
not also havo excellent information that ho
has secured nn extension of his option
The statement that Mr Henry Vlllard was
back of adventurous lyon provoked n prompt
and decisive denial from Mr Vlllard yesterday
bo far as can bo learned and them lias been
dilUgent search on nil Hides Mr hoary S Ives
represents nn one but himself In this matter
It Is learned on excellent authority that even
his business partner Mr Goorgo H Ktnyner
who withal has n keen appreciation of money
for Itself considered has dropped out of tim
deal and left Mr Ives to purbuo his vision of
greatness alone
