—— ¢ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C... WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON: WEnqEsesr. October 16, 1889. Editor, | QHD EVENING STAR has the fullest Local fiom ef Newspaper tn the Worta. m Advertising J.cdimm ws worth were than oli the emer payers puvimued Washington. New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Bailding. The current number of Harper's Weeltly re- plies to Ine Stan's comments upon those pas- sages in Mr. Curtis's address, as president of the civil service reform league, which picture the representative republican press and repre- sentative republican assemblies as hostile to the civil service law. Dir. Curtis failed to mention the leading republican journals and the important republican conventions which have declared in favor of the law and of its extension, but quoted a few foolish utterances of unnamed publications hostile to the law and added: “Naturully this uniformity of tone in the party journals throughout the union is echoed by party assemblies.” Tut Bran called attention to the fact that there has been no such uniformity of hostile tone in the expressions of the representative republican press and conventions, and suggested that this Sweeping accusation was not only unjust, but that it played into the bands of the spoilsmen by backing up their contention that everybody is a spoilsman at heart aud that there is nobody of consequence who will resent a violation of pledges on this subject by an administration. Mr. Cartis in reply contents himself with argu- ing that to state that neither party. as such, isa reform party is not to take sides with the spoils- men and to promote the repeal of the reform law, since the reform movement depends not | upon a party but upon “a public opinion not confined to either party and not controlling either, but of a quality and force not safely to be disregarded.” This public opinion which 4s to terrorize the two great parties, viewing these organizations as thingyistinct from the people who compose them, must express itself in some visible. tangible way, to accomplish its purpose. Au administration, disposed to dis- regard its pledges and to overturn a law which ithas promised to favor will not be terrified from this course by an alleged public opinion which is represented as so feeble that there is s uniformity of expression among the news- papers and assemblies of its party indorsing its proposed act of treachery. The assurance that its own supporters with practical unanimity are urging it to repeal the law and that the alleged public opimon in favor of reform places as little confidence in the opposing political organization asin it. would seem to remove every obstacle tending to prevent the full gratification of the spoilsman’s instinct, Tae Sraz believes that public opinion in favor of civil service reform and of good faith m ob- servance of political pledges does not merely exist in @ ghostly, intangible shape, which strong nerves may disregard, but finds Practical expression in representative party newspapers and representative party assemblies in a fashion which gives pointed warning to political leaders with the spoilsman’s tenden- cies. Mr. Curtis’s imputation of uniform hos- tility to reform in republican journals and as- semblies unjustly minimize that public opinion upon the strength of which the reform depends, and in this way Mr. Curtis, a most earnest and intelligent advocate of civil service reform, plays the game of the spoilsman. —— The history of the war made by the city of Rochester, ¥., a few years ago, upon the New York Central railroad, to get rid of the j nuisance of grade crossings, is one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of American m transportation. The Sight covered a long period, but the people whipped the cor- poration in the end. as must always be the case. Encouraged by Rochester's success, Buffalo baa just followed ber example and won. The compauies and the city share the expense of the proposed improvements, which involve the raising and sinking of tracks, the extersion and widening of some existiag streets and the opening of new on-s; but the city’s share will be ouly about one-sixih of the whole expense. Such a revolution must occur in Washington some day, possibly not very far distant, ‘The louger it is put off, however, the greater will be the cost of the necessary alterations. It Would be decidedly to the advantage of the corporations which are now occupying and in part usurping control of the public streets to hasten the change and save themselves the vastly greater outlay which must be involved when every foot of tand in the city shall have fisew to double or triple its present value. eo There will not be any jot debate between the party candidates in Massachusetts this year, the republicans having declined the democratic eballenge. The reason offered is that the in- stitution is a southern one. That is a poor ex- cuse. If all the institutions of the south were as excellent as the practice of joint debate on the stump, that would be an ideal scetion politically. Moreover, was the Illinois that furnished our republic with an Abraham Lincola and a Stephen A. Douglas, as joint debaters, a southern stat ——— + Mr. Randall's note of response to the invita- tion to meet the Penusylvania democratic clubs in Philade!lphis yesterday was a little more than one-third as long as that sent by ex-President Cleveiaud, but it said about as much. Both eminent democrats iaid stress upon the need of party org nization. and Mr. Cleveland's only other point was that his party had now certain principles to which it muststick. But it re- mained for the speakers of the day to show that the chief principle for which the party was organized and is kept ranning is that of tariff reform. And that possibly explains why Governor Hill, on his way south, did not stop over in Philadelphia loug enough to look in at the meeting. $<» <e—__ Whether moved by generosity, or gratitude, or s broken spirit, King Mulictoa has made way for the election of his substitute, Mataafa, to & permanent occupation of the throne of Samoa, announcing his willingness to take a second place himself. This does not make the new monarch’s path easy by any means. He has still toconqner the aversion which Ger- many will naturally feel for him as Malietoa’s Fepresentative during the trying ordex! of last spring. Th t nat on will doubtiess fiad it hard to forgive him for having held the loyalty of about ten of the Samoans to every one who Yielded allegiance to the usurper Tamascse, whom she set up an. supported while keeping | the real king in exile.
