THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR. ~~ WASHINGTON: more than all the other payers published in Washington. —— New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. oo The case of the Persian minister should serve ag a warning to the great American joker. His amusing quipsand quirks, his playful puns and bantering pereiflage, when laboriously rendered into Persian, appear as deadly insults to the thin-skinned Asiatic, and drive the latter, howling with anger and mortification, from the land ofan unendurable race of western barbarians. The incident is full of sug- gestion to the funny man of the news- papers not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. It hints to him very pointedly that his work is evanes- cent, that it is understood and appreciated only by an insignificant fraction of mankind, and that the American Joke which, if skillfully constructed, may please a few of his country- men, is simply a mystery to the Englishman, a terror to the European of the continent, and an insult and casus Lelli to the Asiatic. The check upon pride which this view of his limita- tions forces upon the newspaper joker is sup- plemented by the suggestion which the inci- dent involves of the degraded condition of his elassin other lands.and cf the sufferance, strange to Asiatics, by which he is permitted to exist and flourish in the new world. In Persia, we are told, his playful ridicule of public men would cause him to be promptly imprisoned, unless | he could establish the defense of in- sanity. Varying degrees of like freedom are enjoyed under other despotic governments, Only among the English-speaking peoples, and especially in America, does te peculiar custom prevail which gives the satirical jester the privilege of cracking what jokes he pleases at the expense of public men, and requires the | latter, when ridiculed, to view these pleasantries or unpleasantries merely as indications of pub- lie consideration and as tributes to growing greatness, The newspaper satirist and ridiculer cannot with safety either to himself or the public abuse this sufferance and this privilege; but the cus- tom which gives a broad freedom to the press is @ good and healthful one, and cannot be abridged to meet a case of abnormal thinness of cuticle im a visiting Asiatic. Persia must pickle and toughen the skin of her American | minister after the Sullivan-Kilrain fashion, until it becomes impervious to the sharpest witticiem of the western barbarians. plleandimmndhater-csereponhonnaio The results of the prohibition votes in other states are suid to have stirred Kansas up on the question of resubmitting her prohibitory amendment to the ple. The talk of this dates further back, but the encoureg ment re- ceived by the resubmissionists from the majori- | ties rolled up elsewhere will give their move- ment some impetus. They have a two-thirds vote in the legislature and the governor's sig- | nature yet to get, which means that they can- not carry the day without e hard struggle.

In one in- stance known to the courts of another state, where the distinction between wholesaling and retailing prevailed. a dealer used to sell a whole cask of whisky at a great sucrifice to a customer who wanted a glass and take it back as a giftafter the desired amount had been drawn. It was a rather tedious proceeding, especially as the customer had to carry his glass through a partition door into the next | house to drain it, so as to be technically “off | ¥ the premises.” But it is wonderful how many contortions a man will indulge in for the sake of crawling through a porous law and getting a drink. ‘There are some things to be avoided by the pradent just now. Over-fatigue, which may be comparatively harmless in cool weather, is to be left severely alone with the thermometer above eighty. Exposure to the fierce rays of the sun, which a robust person often carelessly challenges if, as he believes, he is properly clad for it, is another potent cause of disease. Chronic malaria is often the penalty one pays for lying on the ground after sundown; it isa pleasant mode of studying the heavens, but the tortures the sufferer endures later send his thoughts too far in the opposite direction. ‘These are some of the warnings which are nec- essary to dim continually in the ears of persons who are sensible enough about other things, and who would not think of committing such commonplace errors as sitting in a breezy win- dow when overhented, or eating unripe fruit. ‘The description of a tour by a Stan reporter through a section of underground Washington, printed in to-day’s paper, indicates very clearly that the first and most obvious need of the city’ssewers isa thorough cleaning. Heroic measures, such as the elevation of the avenue, the building of a sea-wall and the permanent enlargement of the sewerage system, may be necessary for the complete protection of the city from floods: but the extent of that neces- sity, so far at least as enlarging the sewerage system is concerned, cannot be known until the full work of which they are capable has been obtained from the present sewers. _ a A stable tenure of office for industrious and intelligent clerks is of so much importance to the prosperity of Washington as atresiden: city, that the abandonment of civil service re- form and a return to the conditions of the period when the clerkships with their routine duties were the unquestioned spoils of politics would be # severe blow to local interests. The principle that merit and not the mere complex- fons of a clerk's politics shall determine the character of his tenure of public office tends to give to the government better service for the mouey which it peys in salaries, tends to Felleve the lot of the government employe of some of its features of harassing and demoral- izing uncertainty, and tends to convert a numerous and intelligent element of the capi- tal’s population from transitory guests into Property-owning, reasonably permanent citi- zene $a» <2—___- Connecticut's ballot-reform law will make the tenth that has been adopted in this coun- try siuce the present year began. In New York alone, thas far, a governor's objections have carried sufficient weight to crush the ef- fort entirely. In Connecticut there was a veto, but the legislature put together a new bill de— signed to meet the governor's objections. It is not the Australian law by a great measme, but it is something which points that way and which the reformers hope to follow with a better statate ata later date, It provides that | the town-clerks shall distribute to voters en- | velopes of uniform size, color and quality, and | that the selectinen shall arrange suitable rooms | in which voters can mark, enclose and seal their tickets secure from observation: that the paper on which the tickets are printed shall be furnished by thy state, but paid for and priute by the parties; that the slightest mark of any sort ou an envelope, sufficient to dis- tinguish it from others, shall cause the vote it contains to be thrown ont. tions of the Inw will be punished by fines and = imprisonment. of the radical advocates of the Austra- lian system declare that this substitute will effect nothing for the purity of the ballot, but leaves the way open for as many frauds as be- fore, to be perpetrated with even greater security. The ouly means of settling such a question, however, is to give the law a trial. Tt certainly deserves one, after the struggle its framers bad to bring it into existence, Cad ABLE PRESENTS for Cash Customers fone o: wing present a pure! of €i0 or more.
