THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: January 29, 1990. . Editor. EVENING STAR has the fullest Loenl Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in ashingtou. jew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. With an ex-President to be master of cere- moutes and opening speaker and a President of the United States to grace the occasion and make the closing address, and with the federal and state judges and other distinguished per- sons to be honored gnests, the centenary of the organization of the Supreme Court on the 4th of February in New York will be one of the most imposing of the long line of centennials which the country has beeu celebrating. It will be beyond all doubt the most complete as- semblage ever known of the members com- posing the judicial branch of government in state and nation. When we consider what it is that is celebrated—human liberty, republican government, legal order—too much honor can- not be paid and too profound a respect cannot be felt for the founders of our institutions. The judiciary is entitled to an extraordinary share of this regard. In the effulgence of his sxc- ceasor’s reputation we are apt to overlook the great services of J yy, the first Chief Jus- tice, one of the authors of the Federalist and leaders of thought in his time. On that su- preme tribunal some of the most noble juridical talent the world bas ever seen bas been dis- Played. Ellsworth, Iredell, Rutledge, Wilson, Marshall, Story, Busbrod Washington, Bald- win, Barbour, Taney, Wayne, Chase—these are some of the great names that have adorned our Supreme Court annals before our day. Men are on that bench today who ure equal in abil- ity and character to all except the very great- est of the illustrious men whose names have been just recited. Upon the circuit und dis- trict courts and the high courts of some of the states there have been learned and cultivated juriata whose decisions have been cited with matked approbaticn in the highest Euglish courte, e ——__——. -=_____ Collector Erhardt of New York, Secretary Windom and Assistant Tichenor after consulta- tion have determined to take the immigration business st Castle Garden out of the hands of the state immigration commissioners and trans- fer it to government control, a decision which should have been reached long ago. A certain kind of protection has been afforded immi- grants landing at Castle Garden, but it has been only temporary and the innocent and ignorant foreigner has been for years at the mercy of shurpers more or less respectable, but none the less greedy of gain. It is true the common sharp, the bunco steerer, the confi- dence man and the plain every day thief were notallowed to work upon the new arrival within the walls of the garden, but there are sharpers in New York who have almost as little conscience as these mentioned, and into their alleged safe keeping the immigrant was placed, and if he bad anything movable left when he reached his destination in the west it was the exception and not the rule. Occasionally some of these impositions reached the newspapers, but when they did it was an inadvertence on somebody's part and the matter was rectified a8 soon as possible and the reprehensible prac- tice continued as before. There were seldom overt acts, and the immigrant was usually so glad that he reached destination with his clothes on his back that he made no complaint. A different order will, it is hoped, prevail undez governmental control, and we may not only secure a better class of immigrants but those we do get will probably be cared for and located in a manner to produce the best re- sults for themselves and the entire country. —$—$—<—< The provisions of the Senate bill to create a park of noble proportions on Rock Creek were printed in yesterday's Stan. The early passage of this measure through the body in which it originated is a subject for congratulation and is notice to the House to go and do likewise. The bill will give us when enacted into law and carried out one of the finest parks in the coun- try. The scenery is romantic for a large part of the territory to be included, some of it in its wild state equal to the best m other parks, and susceptible of much improvement under the hand of the civil engineer. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages to a city of a grand park with broad walks and drives, nu- merous trees, artificial lakes, parterres of flow- ers, beautiful fountains and summer houses, and other appomtments for the pleasure of vis- itors. The new park would be to Washington what Fairmount Park is to Philadelphia or Druid Hill Park to Baltimore. It would be the resort of our own population and strangers would soon learn to class it with the Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument and other points of high interest at the na- tional capital. With a few choice statues suit- ably disposed to give the emphasis of the sculp- tor’s art to that of the landscape gardener the scene would engage the attention of the least susceptible as well as*add charm to the culti- vated tourist's recollections, — The so-calied Rosecrans civil service bill classifies the clerks in the Department serv- ice according to congressional districts, each district having its quota. The Representative | im Congress bas the privilege of nominating four candidates, whe then stand an examination and the successful man secures a clerkship for six years. At the end of that time of service, if he pleases his Congressman, he is renomi- uated with three uthers and again goes through the examination. Otherwise he is dropped. Under this plan, no matter how good an em- ploye he has been, his retention is dependent entirely on the will of the Congressman from ha district, The present system is infinitely superior to the one proposed. The latter would in effect re-establish congressional appoint- ments under the spoils system, and would de- velop in detail the apportionment of offices like plunder among political districts and poli- ticiana, When the merit system is established ig its fallness there will be no provision dis- tributing the offices among states, congressional dystricts or Congressmen. Merit and efficiency will be the only tests, and neither the political tendencies nor the geographical location of the citizen who is a candidate will be considered. $$$ ‘The Maryland legislature knows a thing or two about world feir sites. It refuses to go scampering over the prairies for one.or to give if to an unwilling people divided among them- selves and uot knowing their own miuds, but comes up to the measure of common sense in a set of resolations naming the national capital as the choice of Marylin. whose great serv- ices in the formation of the goverament recited. a ‘The Bank of England has begun to issue one- pound notes based on the silver deposit, and it is said that the heart of bimetalists will be still farther giaddened by teu-shilling notes in the mear fature.

Commissioner Wright's report on marriage and divorce shows that during twenty-five years divorces increased 157 per ceut to 60 per tent increase of population, and the question is suggested to the puzzle departments of the magazines if this ratio continues to increase how long will it be before there are so many divorces that there will be no increase of popa- a =e oe ‘That Iowa dead-lock appears to be a kindof ander study to “Banquo’s ghost,” which could not be downed, it will be remembered. oa North Carolina glories in the discovery of the second largest gold nugget ever found, and taurus up Ler nose uow at tar and peanuts, a Montana is republican today according to the decision of the supreme court of the state. —_—$——— ‘Itis viewed as libelous in Toronto to print that « Canadisn issn ancexationist, Evidentiy Qaneration is not close at hand A Fiv Vv oRDS Asocr I.
