THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published im Washington. Senator Teller made a strong plea in a good cause when he urged his brethren yesterday to abolish the absurd custom of considering nom- inations for office behind closed doors. “I be- lieve,” said he, “that it is one of the agencies that are calculated to bring the American Sen- ste into disrepute and into contempt; for, under the charge made day by day that we are afraid to express our views in public the peo- ple will believe then there is some truth in it.” Mr. Teller might have changed his tenses, and hit the nail even plumper on the head. “Are calculated to”—“the people will believe”— these do not express the state of the case near strongly enough. The practice has already brought this part of the Senate’s work into con- tempt. The people already believe that the Senators who oppose open executive sessions } RRR are afraid to come out and express their views where the world can hear them.

Even the grand jury room knows no ‘uch exclusive privilege; for the secrets guarded there until an indictment has been decided on, must be brought to the bar and exposed to the fire of evidence in rebuttal, under the con- stitational rule which gives to the person ac- cused of crime aright to be informed of the nature and cause of his accusation and con- fronted with the witnesses against him. It ir certainly time that upright and high-toned candidates named by the President for an office under the United States government shall have at least as fair a chance to defend their good names as the meanest criminals, Gov. Boutwell, in his defense of Major Ly- decker yesterday, spoke of the “prejudice” that, he said, seemed to exist in this city against his client, and in concluding, he expressed the hope that the court-martial would not be in- tuenced by any “outside feeling,” and would bring in a verdict not only of not guilty, but of honorable acquittal. Bless us, how extror- nary! The tax-payers who have been mulcted to the extent of only a million or two of dol- lurs to pay for Lydecker's rotten, worthless tunnel are so disloyal to constituted engineer- ing authority as to entertain a prejudice and express feeling against that brainy, energetic OF course the court-martial should re- this prejudiced feeling. Major Lydecker should uot only be honorably acquitted, be should be promoted. He should be made a general, at least, on the strength of the testi- timony of Gens. Newton and Duane as to his competency and his faultless discharge of duty. $< It would be hard to do anything big in Paris without attaching a lottery to it. The great world’s fuir must be made to appeal to the pop- ular fancy, and so it is proposed to issue twenty rane tickets, which not only entitle the holder to twenty visits to the show, but give him a chance in the drawing of a lot of prizes worth three and a half million franes, and also entitle him to receive back at some distant date, on an annuity plan which is not made very clear, all the money he invested in the bit of pasteboard. ‘This isa beneficent scheme, worthy of John Law; for it will be seen that it provides that everybody who buys a twenty-frane ticket shall see the wonders of the fair and, if his number is a lucky one, get a present besides. By the great majority of the Parisian popuiace, doubt- less, it will be weleomed without question; but practical philo ophers will be prone to wonder why, if everybody is going to get his money back one of these days, he is put to the bother of paying it in the first place. a —— Although it is hardly probable that the Earl of Dunraven will be given a walk-over in the proposed race for the America cup, his chal- lenge has already set a lot of New York yachts- men badly by the ears. One party insists upon matcbing the Volunteer, because she is, by the record of races already sailed, the fastest American yacht, Another is violently opposed to the idea of putting up an eighty-six foot vessel against one measuring only seventy feet, declaring that it would be unfair under the present time-allowance. The controversy is jast now at boiling point, particularly as ad- mirers of the Katrina, Titania, Shamrock and Bedouin, all American yachts belonging to the same class with the Valkycis, regard the talk about the Volunteer under the circumstances asareflection upon their favorites. And this feeling is only intensified by the suggestion that, as the alternative of ling the V ‘and new yacht must be built to try conclusions with the British champion. a The Saxton bill for the purpose of improving the law concerning libel, which has been favor- ably reported to the New York assembly, prom- ises to make some changes for the better and to bring the law and custom or public opinion in respect to libel in closer accord. It is ex- pected to operate in the interest both of the public and the newspapers, which require pro- tection from blackmailing suits. The New York Tribune explains the effect of the provi- sions of the bill as follows: “It operates in favor of the newspaper by re- moving the old common law presumption of malice, though the courts have done that toa considerable extent already; by protecting the newspaper in its right to print speeches made ata bona-fide public mestng: just as it is now free to print court and legislative proceedings and by providing that where prompt and ful retraction of an injurious statement is made, only real and not punitive damages can be demanded. But, on the other hand, the ition of the citizen is improved. He can lemand a retraction as conspicuons as the libel in the case of a daily paper within three days; if itis refused, the refusal will be a strong basis for aclaim for punitive damages. The fear of this will operate to force retractions from newspapers that now often refuse or ne- gleet them. After a retraction has been granted the injured person can still sue for Teal damages. = Indge Morris, in dealing out sentences at Baltimore to the captains convicted of cruelty to the oyster-dredge-s, made the penalties comparatively light, as the custom is with first offenses. His remarks, however, indicate that it will not do for other captains to imitate these in the expectation of similar lenity. The dredgers are probably, many of them, a hard lot of people to deal with, but they are human beings after all; and, if a captain finds that he cannot make a living in spite of his restriction to humane conduct toward his help, there is nothing to prevent his going out of the busiuess. oo The appointment of Ellis H. Roberts to be assistant treasurer at New York suggests that this is not a Conkling administration. QOTICE TO BUILDERS. CARPENTERS, CON- JRACTOKS.
