4 eVeewnaNeSsS tn THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY CROSBY S. NOYES THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published nove incor = a EY New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Bu: The Star Out of Town. Tse Evestne Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. @2 But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are Kept with mail subscriptions. 9 eo The new civil commissioners are fairly in- stalled, and it is now a fitting time, perhaps, to consider the subject of the wisest policy which the municipal officers and the people can pursue for the advancement of the interests of the District. But in the lull of a Congressional va- cation, marked by a comparative absence of specific questions of urgent local importance, there is not much room for anything else but glittering generalities. The Commissioners are expected to enforce existing law impartially, without fear or favor, no matter what the sub- ject may be to which the law relates. The people are expected to obey existing law, and to sus- tain the Commissioners in all efforts for its more rigid undiscriminating enforcement. There is a duty on both sides, and both should work harmoniously together in upholding the law. Concerning new legislation which may be de- sired the advice to be given and repeated and emphasized, in season and out of season, is that which declares the necessity of harmo- nious co-operation on the part of the Commissioners and the various sections and interests of the city, and the folly of that wrangling between the various spokes- men of District interests which results in the defeat of everybody and the accomplishment of nothing whatever for the District's welfare. In securing the improvement of District laws, sadly needed in a thousand respects, the Com- missioners should without jealonsy avail them- selves of the assistance of citizens, and public- spirited citizens should co-operate to render such assistance. When the proposed new legis- lation does not involve an appropriation it should not be difficult to secure a shoulder- to-shoulder effort which will compel Congress to aronse itself from the torpor of indifference and make such changes in local laws as the general sentiment demands. Where measures involve the expend- iture of Disirict money the danger of a total lack of harmony between the Commissioners and the people, and between different interests among the people, will, of course, be greatest. Many measures which, it is privately conceded, will be of advantage to the city asa whole are killed every year because the direct and special advantage is tosome particular section or in- terest, and because some other section or inter- est jealously conceives that the only wise policy is to fight against every proposi- tion which does not directly and unmistakably benefit itself. Retaliation in kind is of course invited by this policy, and the representatives of the various needs of the District instead of co-operating for a general satisfaction content themselves with killing the propositions for one another’s benefit, and find happiness only in the reflection that everybody else is left as miserabie and unsatisfied as they. Asa result of this system, in spite of the palpable needs of the District, its annual revenues are not entirely expended, and the District, with even its current wants unsatisfied accumulates a large surplus. The policy of the people and municipal of- ficers of Washington should be to spend every dollar available from the current revenues of the city upon current needs and upon projects for the improvement of the present city, and not by bitter wrangling concerning the mere order of needed improvements, leave all of them unsatistied and accamulate a great sur- plus to give the nation the idea that the Dis- trict has more money than it can conveniently dispose of, and can therefore afford to pay a million dollars for a worthless and abandoned tunnel, — The welcome extended last night to Bishop Keane, the rector of the Catholic university of America, is reinforced by the cordial greeting of the whole community. The city of Washing- ton joins with the participants in last night's dinner to do honor to the enthusiasm, energy, intelligence and persuasive eloquence, which have secured the location of a great institution for higher education within the boundaries of the District. The local community shares the benefits which flow from the judicious selection of the capital as the site of the university. The new institution will supplement, without sup- Planting, the education furnished to a large fractiou of the local population by Georgetown college, of which the capital is proud as the oldest and most celebrated Roman Catholic in- stitution of learuing in the country. It will also give new impetus to the advance of Wash- ington as @ national educational ceuter. It will cause nine millions of Americans to look to this city as the focus of religious and educa- tional intelligence and influence, and it will set an example in the matter of establishing insti- tutions for higher education and of wisely locating them at the capital by which other Christian bodies and other millions of Ameri- cans may and probably will _ profit. Not only will it swell the concourse of learned men gathered here and add directly to the wealth, already vast, of the city jueational material and appliances, but it will call the at- tention of America and of the world to the fact that the capital, though handicapped in many forms of growth, has now developed into the natural site of institutions for higher educa- tion im the American republic. Washington may properly welcome Bishop Keane with en- thusiasm and wish Godspeed to the university project which he is fast making an accomplished fact Sea Should it turn out that the Boston Globe is Correct in its claim that Myles Standish’s first name was Patrick, we may expect a deluge of literature on the subject. It is hardly likely taman with plenty of Irish blood in his Veins would have sent another to do his wooing for him; the true son of Erin is not constructed on that pattern. Of one thing we may rest as- sured, however, with every form of historical testimony to support it—that when Standish did set up for himself he became a home ruler. eee ae When the ¥. M. C. A. invites the great pro- fessional ball-players to address devotional Meetings on Sunday, the millenium looked for by enthuasiastic religionists is certainly at hand. But would not the masses of the peo- ple be reached more surely if the services were held on the ball-ground instead of in the as- sembly hall? SSE eneeeeindee The Atlanta Constwution quotes approvingly Senator Blackburn's statement that, “if every republican who wore the badge of office had been turned out” under the late administra- tion, “Cleveland would now be in the White House.” Both the Senator and our esteemed cotemporary seem to overlook t, which a single glance at the figures of will show, that, if Mr. Cleveland had not pledged himself against such aclean sweep, he never would have got into the White House to begin with.
