* THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1889—TWELVE PAGES, WASHINGTON: SATURDAY...... — CROSHY S. NOYEs.............. ++-- Editor. THE EVENING STAR bas ine fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published se Washington. Whether the President bas, or has not, a con- test with the Senate cn his hands, that body is not likely to differ with him very much in re- gard to the high qualifications of his candidate for collector of the portof New York. Mr. Erhardt has yever been known aa a factionist, in the sense in Which that term implies any } lack of loyalty to his party asa whole. It was strongly suspected last fail that he was put up for mayor of New York city, not with any pur- pose or expectation of electing him, but as a good man for the wire-pullers to trade on. It is now to be hoped that he will remember in a becoming manner the treatment he received from certain local bosses, and confine his dis- tribution of patronage—for his custom-house is the most powerful institution in that respect on the Atlantic coast—to the decent men who voted, in caucus and at the polls, according to what they believed was right and honorable. Receiving the appointment under such circum- stances as he does, he will have a good chance to improve the moral character of the working element in his party organization, and, through them, the politics generally of the city of his home. In the first months of 1789 much of the work was done of oiling the machinery, getting up steam, and otherwise preparing to set in mo- tion the wheels of government of the American republic. Atehort intervals in this year of grace, 1889, it will be possible to say: “A cen- tury ago to-day a notable event took place.” In such richness, even superfiuity, of possible centennial observances, most of them will be ignored, and the public will be content to take its retrospective views in a lump on April 30th, when Washington's inauguration will be com- memorated by a struggle for social supremacy between the “b’hoy” and “la-de-da” elements in New York city. MeA., MeA., beware of When the foeman sha! Yor a field of the deed r Aud McAlli in battle array <i on my sizht, ed in flight. It is no argument against civil service reform or a movement for a more secure tenure of the minor political offices. that an assistant post- ike Elmira, N. Y., ‘dover from one adminis- her, should have ran away with hundred dollars it is rather an of the reform, if it tween money i lence of the excel- as any significance It is by no means certain that the ex- pcctation of removal for partisan reasons at the end of a brief term was not the prime mo- tive for this man’s attempt to increase his worldly wealth by dishonest means. A com- parison of the cases of wrong-doing in a finan- cial way, taking a year’s record together, would probably show a very large majority in which uncertainty of the future suggested the first temptation. The proportion of embezzlers mong men who are poor and in positions of | trust, but who know that their places are theirs as long as they deserve them, would prove exceedingly smail. es —— De Wolf Hopper hus set the newspapers to printing paragraphs about him by introducing into one of his topical songs the other evening # reflection on the female theater-goer who wears a big hat, whereat a type of that class rose froma seat near the stage and flounced out of the theater with an air of high dudgeon. Some discussion has been started as to whether Hopper really aimed his shaft at her, and, if so, whether she has a cause of action against the manager for the public affront thus put upen her. It does not seem to have occurred | to anybody that the whole thing may have been mapped ont as the late E. A. Sothern used to plan surprises for his audience, placing a hired person in the parquette somewhere to raise a row in the middie of a performance in order to give point toone of his hits and to make the press give him a lot of free adver- tising. — 3 Many prospective settlers in Oklahoma are preparing to get ahead of the premature “boomers” by waiting till the 22d of April and then galloping into the territory on swift- footed steeds and locating legitimate claims to the best sites. Here is the chance for the man with the flying-machine. Why do we not hear from him on the borders of Oklahoma, offer- ing the fleetest conveyance across the hills and over the tree-tops to the highest bidder? eae South Dakota is pre-eminently the “Windy State.” Eccentricities of the winds in winter bring the blinding blizzard, in summer the twisting cyclone, and in the fall sweep prairie | fires over the settler’s house and crops, Destructive prairie fires at this season are pre- mature, and indicate a deficiency inthe winter and spring raintall. The new state must dis- play less energy in raising the wind and in an- ticipating the season. It is not well to be too far ahead of the times. With denser settle- ment the conditions which foster these annoy- ances of the enterprising Dakotan will be to a large extent removed. ————<—<— The election in Newport to-day is expected to determine the political complexion of Rhode Island, as it will probably settle the relative strength of the parties in the legislature, and that body is to elect the governor. At the recent indecisive election for state senator in Newport the republican candidate received 1,220 votes, the democrat 1,300, the prohibi- tionist 150. To-day’s election will evidently be close. The republicans pin their hopes of success to the belief that the danger of demo- cratic ascendency will subdue for atime the internal dissensions which have brought the party to the verge of defeat. But the demo- crate show greater confidence of victory. oo “What are you going to do about it?” Commissioner Raymond speaks up promptly end boldly in reply to this question concerning the illegal occupation by railroads of public Streets or reservations. All illegal tracks, he says, must be removed, and in the special case under consideration, since the railroad has tailed to obey the Commissioners’ order, the District should, he holds, tear up the tracks itself. The other Commissioners are yet to be heard from in the matter. It is to be hoped that their decision will be ax prompt, as courageous, and as logically consistent as that of Major Raymond. ————— The New York Sun draws the moral from Mary Anderson's break-down “that celibacy end the pursuit of an arduous, intellectual, brain-exhausting profession do not go well together.” But what about the collapse of Mrs. Langtry and Lillian Russell? Their break- down can hardly be laid to the account of celibacy. Speen eet It seems to be generally agreed now that Edwin Booth owes his collapse to too much smoking. The doctor says that, at all events for the present, he must give up his beloved cigar. This means that he must reduce his al- lowance of twenty Havanas a day to nineteen, as it is the twentieth which he relishes more ‘than all the rest. E,srzn Ovesixa. MME. J. P.
