Tur Evexrxa 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. G# Dut all such orders must be accompanied by te money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. gy —_————+e0e A significant event happened in New York harbor the other day, which has not attracted as much attention as it deserves, Capt. Lewis of the Inman steamship line, referred to by his employers as their “crack tar,” was coming in on the City of Berlin, when a tug met him with instructions that he should be transferred at once to an outgoing steamer and carried back , in time to take command of the City of New York at Liverpool and bring her across. By ome mishap the ship to which he was to be transferred sailed away without him, and the plan fell through. The secret of this extraordinary move was that the White Star line was to start its new steamer Teutonic from Liverpool on the same day with the City of New York, and, as she promised something wonderful in the way of speed, it was the Inman company’s desire to have an ocean race from shore to shore and keep the prestige of their line unbroken. The meanif§ of the whole affair is that the ocean passenger trade now looks to nothing in Duilding new vessels except speed. Safety is quite a secondary consideration. It is true that any person infected with the racing mania will answer such a charge as this with the statement that the swiftest ship is also the safest, The theory is that, in cases of collision between two ships, the one moving with the greater speed suffers the less damage. A small craft with aslow motion will be sank or cut in two by her big antagonist moving fast; in cases where the sizes of the two are the same, the common law of impinging bodies is cited; and instances can be recalled where a smaller ship has been driven half way through a larger one, with little comparative damage to herself, by force of her greater momentum. For all that, the argument remains good that to have collisions without injury is not nearly #0 agreeable as to go without any collisions whatever, and that seems to have been the more general rule in the old days before the “grayhouud” fol de rol on the high seas began, It was then customary, at any rate, to make slow progress through fogs and heavy weather. Now the idea seems to be to stop at nothing, but simply to get into port ahead of one’s rivals, The “rack tar” of the period is gen- erally recognized as the man whose fearless- ness, when called upon to take all sorte of chances, is most notorious, and who has a record for luck in getting out of tight places. Strange to say, the public—especially the American public—seem to be infatuated with this slambang sort of seamanship, and its pat- Tonage goes where the days and hours aboard ship are fewest, regardless of risks, and with @ view single to being on the winning ship in the race. There must be an end to this sort of thing somewhere, of course; and all well- wishers of mankind will pray that it may not come in the form of a series of disasters more appalling than any heretofore witnessed. It is gratifying to hear from his close friends that Judge Cooley will nut be tempted away from the head of the interstate commerce com- mission by offers from outside, He realizes, they say, that, though the emoluments of his present office are not great, the honor of being the first chairman, chief organizer, and lead- ing spirit of the commission is not an empty one; and that whatever success may be achieved by the government in establishing a rational code of supervision over the class of roads which come under federal authority, will re- dound directly to his fame asa jurist and an executive. It is a pity that Commissioner ‘Walker could not have been brought to take a pleasant enough view of his position to keep him from resigning it. The talk now about the purpose of Senator Edmunds to have the vacant seat held open until Mr. Walker finds out whether he is going to be suited with his private arrangement, is, let us hope, unwar- ranted. The idea of public officers dropping | 4 their duties to make excursions into private business, and returning at will if the results are not all they were led to expect, is not agree- able. There are certain implied obligations which every man takes upon himself when the people, either directly through their votes, or through an appointing power deputized by them, eal! him to a place of responsibility; and one of them is that he is to give his whole heart to his work while he is engaged in it, in- stead of regarding it merely as a make-shift or a stepping-stone for his personal convenience. rr 0 The popularity of Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain does not appear to suffer in the least by her husband's temporary embarrassments in poli- tics. Who knows to what heights of success he may notattain through her presence at his side? Where Lord Randolph Churchill would have been to-day, with all his partisan wob- bling. if it were not for his American wife, there is no telling. The graceful tact which our girls inherit and absorb goes a great way toward making things pleasant for them on the Other side of the water, where the trait is at a Premium, Sun eeeeshdiene ‘The gentleman from Texas who distinguished himself on his first visit to Washington by blowing out the gas in his hotel bed room may be tempted some time to try the same trick with the electric light, He ought to study the ‘warning conveyed by the testimony in the Kemmler case as to the dengue of daetiag vith 1d these now-fangled devices. The big painters of France, according to the New York World's Paris cortespondent, are decrying Millet’s “Angelus.” Meissonier, Ge- rome, Bougerou, Vibert and other artists say there is no great merit in it, and that at any rate it isn't worth any such money as that alleged to have been paid for it. Some of them say that no such price as $100,000 was Daawrsa Cannas. There is no use talking, the people appreciate our Premises in the matter of these great Clearing Salts, ‘We've but to make the announcement and a regular stampede follows. Of course it's gratifying to us. We lke to have our methods endotsed—especially in such a substantial way. There is a ripple of dissatisfaction. ‘We hear it—but it emanates from the little two-penny clothiers who are doing business on the commercial Lines of a contury ago, and anything savoring of pro- gression would receive their condemnation. ‘We have these sales at the wind-up of every season. ‘We, candidly, would rather have tho room the suits oo cupy than their company.
