4 - ¢ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C.. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3. 1889. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: sees ApEHL 3. 1889. and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published ___ tp Washington. ‘The President is credited with two declara- tions in respect to the appointment of Commis- sioners for the District. The first is, that the present Commissioners are to be displaced; and the second, that he will devote to the con- sideration of the subject the time and personal attention necessary to secure honest, capable and thoroughly satisfactory men to serve as their successors. In view of the record of the District government as a Cleveland partisan machine under the administration of the present civilian Commissioners, local repub- licans have never expected anything else than the first of these two decisions; and in view of their vacillating, inefficient, selfish, section-favoring, and corpo- ration-controlled policy m respect to matters outside of politics, nine-tenths of the community will heartily appland the announcement that their reign is nearly at an end. The same ap- proval will meet the declaration that care is to be taken in selecting their successors. Even those who are most impatient of a delay which leaves the local Cleveland machine in full opera- tion, and permits important affairs of the Dis- trict to be conducted by inefficient hands, will surely not begrudge the President the few days of consideration which the welfare of the Dis- triet demands, and which the pressure of weightier matters has hitherto denied him. When the time comes in which undivided at- tention can be given to the subject, a decision may be quickly reached. There are scores of honest, intelligent, and able men, thoroughly identified with District interests, as the spirit of the law wisely requires, from whom the Presi- dent can safely select. i oo The Senate having finished its work for the present and gone home, the President may hope to get a little rest. Not that the Senators were themselves especially importunate in their qnests for patronage, but the sense which weighed upon him that he was keeping a body of statesmen in session for the mere purpose of passing upon his nominations must have made ‘Mr. Harrison push business ata high rate of speed. There is no patt of a chief magistrate’s duties which is more exacting in its demands upon his time and attention than that of filling the principal representative offices when he first enters the White House. However well he may know the public men of the country, and however methodical may be his habits of work, he cannot help being more or less | burried by the pressure suddenly brought to bear upon him from new and unexpected quarters, and by the discovery that persons whom he had never seen or heard of have claims, aspirations, and backing which he can- not afford entirely to ignore. Now that he is released from the apparent necessity of grinding out a daily grist of nomi- nations in order to keep the gentlemen at the capitol busy. the President will have time to look about him and examine well the records of persons he will be called upon to appoint during the recess. — The enthusiasm of those persons who con- tend that the polite drama is a positive force for good in the community, and are willing to make no exceptions, will experience a backset in the story telegraphed from Cincinnati about the young mechanic who killed his wife asthe result of witnessing a play recently performed in that city. The influence of the drama is a great deal like the influence of female society: it may be good or it may be bad. In either event it is powerful, but nobody ought to as- sign to it in a general way a positive moral character. The play which impelled this man to kill his wife is of a grade which would usualiy be considered high; that is, it was written for and attracted to its representa- tions, the most intelligent members of the | theater-going element in every city where it has been given. But what is calculated merely to arouse the interest and stir the emotions for | & passing hour among one class of persons, may be poison to the minds of another class, It is open to serious question whether the use- fulness of the stage. in this era of fast living | and extreme nervous tension. is not mostly | limited to the presentation of comedy, which serves as a relief to spirits borue down under a heavy enough load of the tragic ¢xperiences of real life, instead of drawing upom the im- agination for a fresh supply. piniendiceatans lA Gen. Boulanger is nothing if not melodra- matic. When he masqueraded in green specta- cles everyone said: “it is Boulanger,” and felt no surprise. Now that he has disappeared, in order to avoid falling into the hands of his prosecutors, everybody says again, “It is Bou- langer,” and confidently looks for him to turn up promptly when a spectacular end can be accomplished by his sudden restoration to his old place in the full popular view. Boulanger's greatness thus far has rested chiefly on his ability to make himself seem to be the worst persecuted public man in France. He is not like Lawyer Meddle in the play. who gocs around begging somebody to kick him in the presence of witnesses so that he may have the basis of a suit for damages: the general simply puts on disguises, and performs the vanishing act, and otherwise takes it for granted that somebody is just about to do something to him, It is « much more ingenious method than Meddle’s, for it excites the sympathy of the unthinking throng instead of making him ridiculous and contemptible. ———- ‘The military evidence tending to relieve Major Lydecker from responsibility tor the rotten tun- nel suggests the frightful possibility that the United States may intend to saddle the entire responsibility and punishment upon the Dis- trict of Columbia. To be sure the District bas had no connection whatever with the attempt to construct a tunuel. Notwithstanding this fact it bus been held to share the penalties of wrong-domg and negligence with sub-con- tractors, contractors, inspectors, engineer offi- cers, and the United States. If it can be fined amillion dolla-s and half the expense of a Congressiona! investigation for the misconduct of others, not its azeuts, then by the same logic the entire blame aud punishment may be dumped upon it. The natural ending of the tunnel court-martial would perhaps be the ac- quittal of Major Lydecker and a finding that the District of Columbia has been guilty, to say the least, of conduct unbecoming a gentle- man oo from Central Africa, bearing date the 28th of August. of last vear, is a trifle stale, but it is the freshest that can be got It is now certain that Stanley succeeded ip his'sgarch for Emin Pasha, and is able to report on the condition of that officer's expedition. It also appears that, after writing a long letter to Sir Francis de Winton, the journalist-explorer was about to start from Fort Bodo by a short ent to the Nyanza over a new route. When next heard from he will have a fresh addition to make to the world’s knowledge of geography. - nacional $e It is the governorship of Ohio totwhich ru- mor credits Mr. Halstead’s aspirations at the present moment. The understanding between him aud Gov. Foraker, it is suid, is that For- aler shall go to the Senate, while Halstead goes %@ Columbus. The combination will create a semsation, certainly. The elastic young gov- ernor in a senatorial chair will cause about as much of « rattling among the dry benes as the issue of executive proclamations from the state capitol of Ohio in the style of the editorial leaders in the Cincinnati Commercial- ——$———— The unexpected democratic gains shown by the spring elections in Ohio must be a puzzle to the politicians. Are the republican losses in that state to be attributed to the nomination of Halstead as minister to Germany by the Presi- ent or to his rejection by the Senate? Hal- (ead must be in the mess some way, Warne To Go To-wonzow. An hour may be pleasantly spent at the Palais Royal. Wonrrz Coxstznixe.
