THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. ¥ TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1889. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY. CROSEY 8S. NOYES. SHE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. apd as an Advertising Medium is worth wore than all the other papers tn W ashbington. As the time of President Harrison's inaugu- ration approached some of the New York news- papers lifted up their voices and bewailed the apprehended extortion to be practiced upon the inaugural visitors by the owners of lodg- ings, and of stands, windows and balconies overlooking the route of the parade. Others roundly abused the people of Washington on the ground of this imaginary purpose to extort. Now the New York papers print col- Uumns setting forth the fabulous prices demanded by those who control windows along the line of the inauguration centennial parade in that city. By their own confession the temporary stand accommodations are entirely inadequate, and whether the Four Hundred or the legis- lators win possession of them in the comical struggle which is in progress the people are ef- fectually excluded from them. Street. sidewalk, and curbstone accommodations are insignificant compared with those furnished by Washington along the inaugural route, and the public are driven to the windows, which are sold at prices ranging from $100 to $1,000. As a New York paper proudly says: “The extrav- agant and in some cases almost incredible sums paid for places to witness the Queen's jubilee parade in London bid fair to be eclipsed in the American metropolis.” The pre-eminence claimed for the metropolis in the umtter of extortion will not be questioned by Washington, which, from the experience gained in -handling many of these gatherings, has learned the wisdom and propriety of a certain self-control and a certain regard for the opin- ions of the visiting pul —————— It took twenty-six citizens of Utica, N. Y., of all sorts of politics, to make up the necessary bonds of four hundred thousand dollars and enable Ellis H. Roberts to qualify as assistant treasurer at New York. How many men in other cities of forty or fifty thousand inhabi- tants stand well enough with their neighbors generally to raise bonds of such an amount? And how many good citizens living in vill: and country towns could possibly take any of- fice with such a condition attached? Yet there are thousands of enemies of civil service re- form who are ready to assert that it is a gross injustice, unwarranted by the constitution, to require that a man shall have the rudiments of | an English education before employing him in e of any responsibility under government. | If it is unjust to make this requirement in a country where education is universal in diffu- sion and cheap in cost, what must be said of a rule which limits the marshals: the col- lectorships, the higher class post-oilices, and eds of o wvernment places to men a command more of a financial backing thana good many merchants could scrape to- gether in the form of endorsements to sa themselves from bankruptey? If we confine the big offices to the rich, or to those who can get the support of rich friends, is there any- thing more unreasonable in confining the small Ofices to persons who hav ailed themselves of their liberal oppor: iy enongh to be able to conduct a correspondence or keepa set of record books intelligentiy?
