Evening Star Newspaper, February 7, 1890, Page 4

4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ENING STAR has the f Cireulation of any Newspaper and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published ia Washington. Office-secking has become a disease, The dignified, rational andjself-respecting applica- tion of persons fitted for government positions is -y different thing from the coarse scram- bie for places that is seen at every capital in the land, and conspicuously at the uational capital by reason of the greater number of ewcramblera. A foreigner might say: ‘Are the American people a vast army of the unem- ployed, waiting for something to do?” It can- not be true, and yet sometimes it would, in- deed, seem to be the case. These “hustlers” after government positions are not asa rule Vagabonds and ne’er-do-wells. They are not dependent on the public treasury for support, ‘They have something to do at homs. The trouble with them in many cases is that they have heard exaggerated reports about the Salaries paid the officers and employes of the government and about the ease and lnxary of offcial life. They think they will exchange life of toil, it may be poorly compensated, for a life of comparative comfort and great dignity and influence. Just here is the great mistake, Few goverument positions are remunerative in the sense of enabling their holders to accumulate uny woney. The rea- sons are all around us in the nee- essary cost of living in cities, in the disposition to spend quickly what is earned without @ great struggle and the fellowship principle that causes aman ta do things in the way of display above his real ability becanse he sees ethers do the same things, Not only is the government office as a rule not a money-accu- malating position, but its routine duties with easy hours tend to unfit him who performs them for any length of time from more active but more protitable and developing pursuits wheu the government position is lost. The cbief difficulty in the office-seeking craze, however, has uot yet been touched upon here, Is debauches public opinion. Give the merit system full swing in this country, in state and gation, and wonderful change would be Wrought not only in the efficiency of the public service, but also in the view-point, and publie morals would be correspondingly elevated, Nothing so demoralizes a people as dependence on government as « dispenser of beuctits. The vastest of all the great historical powers fell into decline just when the masses turned to the Cwears for goid and bread. The public service is not a charity dispensary. ———$<——— a The government pays in annual rentals for building needs for government purposes $121,- 700. This item would not figure in the appro- priatious if the economists of the House would consent to the erection of various buildings and extensions for the actual necessities of the public service in Washington. A city post office, & District government building, a court house for the ase of the various courts of the District, Supreme Court rooms, a hall of records, more room at the Post Oftice department, more room atthe Interior department, a building tor the geological survey, a building for the coast and geodetic survey, additional room at the State and War departments—these sre a few of the governmental wants in the matter of buildings in Washington. Tur Sraa is of the opinion that government rentals here ought to be ex- actly nothing per a The battle to be waged over ballot reform will come off in the New York legislature on and after next Thursday. There are two other bills beside the Saxton ballot reform measure. ‘These are the Chase general registration bill and Mr. Saxton’s proposed amendments to the penal code. Another measzre which ought to become a law, has not been reported yet—the bill limiting the expenditures for political pur- poses of candidates. The question is, Can Gov. Hill bold enough democrats to enable him to veto these beneficent measures of reform? — + The young over-lord of the German “war- lords” wants an international conference in be- half of the workingmen of Europe. The young over-lord would render more substantial ser- vice to the men who labor if he would request the other governors of Europe to join him in disarming. What is needed is the certainty of peace and the economical methods of peace. 2 The Monmouthshire colliery accident is one of the worst mining casualties reported in re- cent times. It would seem that the Welsh mine owners are not more careful of the lives of their operatives than some American mine owners are, for undoubtedly the water which flooded the neighboring pits and caused the explosion by expelling the gas could have been kept out or the men not allowed in the contigu- ous mine. $$$ There are more ways than one to snuff out ®querum. The democrats of the Montana senate have betaken themselves beyond the state's limits since the lieatenant governor's ruling counting them. By runuing away they hope to win another day. Butit has seldom Deen found good political policy to abandon the field of action in controversies of this hind The House Committee on Accounts reports in favor of and the House will donbtless adopt & proposition to give every member of the body acilerk. Heretofore there has beeu great dis- crimination, not only in the fact that the Sena- tors have these clerks. but in the fact that the -es devolved their private work ou the committee clerks, ——— + There is much to sustain the contention that the greatest cause of dissatisfaction in the army end the consequent desertions from the service is the menial employment at which the men are frequently put avd their treatment while so engaged by the subordinate officers in charge. Soldiers are not dogs, and even dogs will desert if too many indignities are heaped upon them os ‘The great floods in Califorma and Oregon are 88 afilictive events in the west as those in Pean- sylvania and other states wore last year in the east, They are caused by the recent heavy falls of rain and snow in these communities, With the melting of the snow that has blocked travel on the Pacific slope for a formight re- ports of further disaster by inundation may be expected, —— ‘The members of the Nations! Colored Con- vention differed concerning a great many things, Dut agreed unanimously that they ought not to be denied the rights of American citizens in the South, and that they did not want to be deported to Afries or anywhere else, ae It seems evident that Platt will not consent toe Tsmmauy Fair und that Tammany will not consent to a Piatt Fair. Why not have a na- tiewal and international fair at the national capttal’ oo The two great parties of the country have very little to complain of respecting each other: attest, Congress, Montana, West Vir- Bivia, Ohio. In esch case the dominant party ie true to itself alove. 2 Canada moans that her best people go to us while our worst go to her.
