Tur Eyextse Star will be sent by mail to any sddress in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. €3 But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or te paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. gg — The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the virtues of new District Commissioners ean be fully appreciated only from the obser- vation of what they do officially when put to the test. But the District's prospects under its new municipal officers are in the highest degree encouraging. The President has performed his duty of appointment with thoughtful and wise discrimination, and the great body of District citizens, including those who have favored tber candidates for these offices, are satistied that their interests have been intrusted to hon- est, capable and safe men, and are pleased both at the fact that the long controversy over the matter has come to an end and at the manner in which it has ended, The first specific requirement of model Dis- trict Commissioners after that of the possession of honesty and general capacity is identifica- tion with the District and its interests, and this requirement is fairly met by the new ap- pointees. Both have resided for many years in this city, and concerning neither of them can it be said that be is a District citizen for office only. Mr. Hine has been prominent in local affairs, has a wide circle of acquaintance and is intimately acquainted with the needs of the District. Mr. Douglass has not been so active in local concerns and his circle of local acquaintance is narrower, but all his interests are those of a citizen of Washington. The second requirement upon which stress has been laid is that in the appointment of Commissioners the prospect of fair treatment in the matter of improvements and protection of local interests should be given to all the sec- tions of the city. Both of the new Commis- siouers indicate that their policy will be to ad- vance the city asa whole, and not be one of narrow, sectional discrimination. Mr. Douglass resides in the western section of the city. Mr. Hine has lived in South Washington, and now has his home outside of the city limits, in the eastern section of the District. Ability as speakers to present the District's needs to committees of Congress has also been specified as a requirement. Both of the new Commissioners as lawyers are trained speakers. Both are men of pleasing manners and address. Attention has been called to the importance of preventing the use of the Dis- triet government as a mere political machine. The fact that extreme partisans on both sides, while conceding the personal fitness of the new Commissioners from their respective parties, are inclined*to complain that they have not been active politically, and are not prominent representatives of the two parties in Washing- ton. gives promise of an administration which will put District interests before partisan inter- ests, and which will be in position to present the needs of the District without political em- barrassment to the representatives of both par- ties in Congress. Perhaps no Commissioners ever entered upon their official duties with better opportunities to win or confirm the respect and regard of the people of the District. The administration of their immediate predecessors will furnish an admirable background. showing to full advan- tage every wise and vigorous act for the public welfare upon which they may determine. The opportunity is open to them of being courteous and considerate in manner. without lacking backbone in time of action; of knowing what is done in the departments under their charge, and not merely of refraining from personal wrong- doing, but of discovering and correcting the wrong-doing of subordinates. Not only may they earn the gratitude of the people of the capital by intelligent and energetic efforts to correct, by securing new legislation, some of | the evils under which it labors or to advance its general interests; but in contrast with the weakness, the inefficiency, and the active faults of their predecessors, they can make their ad- | ministration notable merely by strict enforce- ment of existing law,—against corporations as against individuals, and against the wealthy as against the poor and uninfluential.—and by im- partiality between the sections and between conflicting interests or cliques. $= «a The strong arm of a fearless bystander was all that saved two ladies and an infant from a ter- rible adventure, possibly from the loss of their lives, last evening, at the railroad crossing at Virginia avenue and 434 street southwest. The ladies and child were in a buggy, and were driving straight toward the narrow passage be- tween two stationary cars, which is the only thoroughfare vouchsafed to the public at that pointsby the gracious condescension of the Pennsylvania railroad company. The flag- man had neglected to hang out his lan- terns, or to close the gates, although a train, hidden from the approaching party by the wall of rolling-stock erected by the company in the midst of the city highway, was almost at the crossing. The first warning was the sudden descent of one of the gates at the instant the horse reached it, scraping his face and fright- ening him so that he wheeled and bolted. A crowd in the neighborhood came to the rescue, but in vain; and desperate peril threatened the occupants of the buggy when a muscular ¢! zen succeeded in grasping the horse by the bridle sud striking him «blow on the bead, which stunned him and knocked him down. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, except the horse, and he is powerless to sue the railroad com- pany for damages. But the idea that such an affair can occur in the very heart of a populous city, and that the corporation which is respon- sible for it, after appropriating the ground from under the people's fect, has not grace enough to provide ordinary defences for its victims, is a rather startling one to believers in the nineteenth century as an age of progress and inthe capital city of the American re- public as a model municipality. eo There is nothing astonishing in the resultQjof the election in Montana. That territory has always had democratic leanings. The demo- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C.. FRIDAY, MAY 17, 188 M.

The mistake which the local democrats made in nominating one of the most unpopular men in the territory last fall and the unjust policy of the national democracy toward the territories seeking admission to statehood laid them out then at the polls, Partisan politics had little to do with it.
