4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: November 14, 1895. CROSBY &. NOYEs..... . Raitor. ‘done de daily circu! mere than treble that of any ether daily paper pablished t= Washington, and mach thas than the voter in any other state. There is the same disproportion between the weight of votes in the other doubtful states and in those where the general result is certain. Thus va- rious degrees of power and rank are established among the American sovereigns, whereas in theory all citizens are upon an equal political footing. Evil results follow. The fact is re- cognized that the votes which count the most in a presidential election are those cast in a few localities, and upon these points every in- fluence, including the corrupt use of money, is concentrated by the contending political or- ganizations or their adherents. The tri- bunal to be won is so limited that encouragement is offered to attempt to pur- chase a favorable decision. If a direct popular vote decided the presidential contest, the tri- Dbupal would be so broadened that its purchase would practically be hopeless. As an addi- tional evil the presidential election under the present system, with its unfairness, corruption and serious interruption to business activity, is foreed upon the republic every fourth year, and the business world hardly recovers from the effect of one election before it is called upon to endure another. The abolishment of the electoral college and the extension of the President's term of office with, perhaps, a prohibition against his re-election, are consti- tutional reforms which commend themselves to the great majority of Americans, but which are not likely to be accomplished until each political party can be induced to figure out for itself a partisan gain from the change, or until one party grows so strong that it controls the President, two-thirds of each house of Con- gress, and three-fourths of the states, The destructive car-stove begins an early campaign against property and life this year. Popular opinion has elected that it shail go, and as the time of its exit approaches, when its power to injure will cease, increased activity in destructiveness may be expected from it in the desperate malice of its expiring efforta. Yesterday it succeeded in burning seven cars | near Atlanta, and a Pullman sleeper near Pitts- burg. None happened to be killed among the human enemy, but they were ignomifiiously put to flight in a half-dressed condition, and their baggage and clothing were captured and | destroyed. These skirmishes are doubtless merely preliminary to the serious engagements of the campaign. New York has routed and abolished the car-stove, and points the way to vietory to the other states. This isa war of extermination with the classical watchword. ‘The car-stove, like Carthage, must be utterly destroyed. Se On all sides are heard conjectures as to the stand which the new republican administration will take with regard to the civil service; and intimations are freely thrown out, from sources safd to be reliable, that there will be a “clean sweep.” It may be said, at the outset, that nothing is less probable than that General Har- rison has pledged himself to any course of that | sort, or, indeed, that he has been so indiscreet as to intimate what he is going to do, so long in advance. Moreover, it is fair to assume that the President-elect is too honest a man to set at nanght the promises made for him by the platform on which he was nominated and by his letter of acceptance. Whatever may have been the shortcomings of the retiring administration in respect to reforms in the civil service, the fact remains that thousands | of republican officeholders have retained their places, and that many of these places are clothed with large responsibility. Chiefs of division, chief clerks, ete., who have never dis- | avowed, in public or in private, their loyalty to | the party under which they entered the ser- vice, have retained their posts through the three years and eight months of Mr, Cleve- land’s rule, because they were regarded as good men, and this was done in spite of an ad- verse pressure which few persons who have not been subjected to itean appreciate. In cer- tain instances, moreover, where changes have been made, even republicans who were in a position to know have frankly admitted that they were for the better. Now, what is looked for in a republican administration is not a reversal | of all that has been done toward taking the civil service out of politics, but an improve- | ment upon it. It is one of the complaints | which republican speakers and the republican | press have been making against the democrats | for these three years and more, that the spirit of incipient reform has not been lived up to; and it will be for the new incumbents, if they would retain the confidence of the peopl®, to show how much better they can conduct the government in this regard, than their defeated rivals, ————-——____ ‘The London police have celebrated the re- tirement of their chief by stumbling upon the first clue which looks as if it could possibly lead toanything. Unless the story told by the man Hutchinson is made out of whole cloth—a ques- tion which it ought not to take a competent de- tective two hours to settle—there is now a shadow of hope of capturing the miscreant who has been committing so much butchery. But, in the meantime, it would be just as well to keep a sharp eye upon Hutchinson himself, He may be a convenient person to have about at a critical stage of the investigation which is soon to follow. The man popularly known as “Jack the Ripper” is fall of devices, and it would not be surprising if it were found necessary later to put Hutchinson in his turn on the defensive, $$$ The Washington weather bureau prepared and diffused this morning ayonsiderable quan- tity of superior English fog. celebrating in » suitable manner the arrival and presence in the city of the Hon.
