EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR, |Is Prosrzcr-Wasrs Berro Doxz WASHINGTON: -February 14, 1990, ‘TRE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Cireatation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more thas all the other payers published in ——=— How York Office: Koom 93, Tribune Building. ee In connection with the investigation pending im the House committee on reform in the civil service into the administration of the Civil service law by the commission it ought to be borne in mind that the commission has steadily insisted upon the most thorough serutiny of ite rules, methods and record. It has contended strenuously that nothing in that record is matter for shame or confusion to the members of the commission. And, while it has not claimed at any time that its work has approached perfection, it has declared that the rules adopted and the methods employed for carrying them out were the best, in the Judg- meat of the commission, which suggested themselves. The commission insists that ite course has been straightforward, while its enemies have wired in and out in vain attempts to undermine the citadel of reform. To an eutsider the efforts of the most bitter foes of a reputable and efficient public service appear to be inspired by spleen rather than judgment and imaginary self-interest rather than patriot- ism. They have waged against the law and those who administer it relentless war in Chi- nese style, abounding in noise without injury. ‘The statate is in no great danger. The people are not deceived by mere clamor. Washington ia 80 much interested for obvious reasons in a stable tenure of office for efficient government employes and in an improved and progressive classified service that the slightest prospect of the success of the attacks upon the reform would fill the community with apprehension. ‘The blew aimed at the welfare of the nation would, if not averted, strike most severely the local interests of the capital, and Washington, though it may rely upon the good sense of the American public and measure only at their real importance the attacks upon civil service re- form, will wisely$e upon guard against the efforts of the enemy. —— ———— The prospects of the international copy- right bill are greatly improved by the adoption by the House patents committee yesterday of amendments conforming the measure to the Senate bili. These amendments are, however, not very important. The Judiciary Committee as well as the Committee on Patents, is under- stood to approve the bill. This copyright bill has been more misrepresented than almost any other measure that was ever before Congress, It wa simple, clean-cut proposition to give the author and the American printer and binder a chance. It provides that foreign authors may take out copyright on the same terms with American authors provided the type-setting, printing and binding are done in this country. It is equitable and it is common sense. Too Jong has the labor of the foreign writer been appropriated by the publishers and the public im this country without a cent of compensation. ‘There is another side tothe question, but it is not the side of honesty and fair-dealing. Moreover, if we do not treat the foreign author justly the foreign governments wili not deal fairity with American authors, and our rising literature demands protection, The late seasion of the American Newspaper Pub- lishers’ Association heartily endorsed the measure. In every aspect of this matter that is presented to wise and honorable legislators there is only one course open—to pass the in- ternational copyright bill with as little delay aa possible, In time of fire there is nothing like coolness of mind, aud organization is apt to induce it. In less than four minutes the sisters of the Catholic orphan asylum in New York during the recent fire carried out four hundred chil- dren from the burning building and nobody washurt. Perfect organizxtion in the fire de- partment has several times saved cities from terrible low, within recollection. A case im- mediately in point was the Chicago fire of yes- terday, where an excellent organization, with happy combination of circumstances in the ‘use of a good water supply and in the fact that the burning building was divided into com- partments, separated by fire-proof walls, was able to prevent widespread disaster. The Chi- cago fire also suggests that all houses contain- ing ® number of stories and a complexity of business arrangements might advantageously be built in compartments as the Farwell busid- ing was. a Great alarm is expressed by some writers at the colossal growth of American cities daring the last forty yeara. During the century since the ceusus of 1749 was taken the general popu- lation bas increased sixteen times, while the urban population has grown 160 times, As late as 1950 there were ouly eighty-five cities of $3,000 population each. The number in 133) had arisen to 236. The largo increase of city population is attributed chiefly to the fact that the emigrants on arrival in this country prefer to atop iu the cities, About one-half of the for- eigners who land on our shores settle ia the large towns and cities, No doubt the dificul- ties of manicipal goverument are steadily grow- ing more momentous, But the elastic nature of our civilization, with its free traditions and broad basis of race character will enable us to solve this aud other vexed problems of society and government. The Auglo-Germuanic people have always shown themselves equal to every great crisis that has arisen in national affairs, ‘The citizeus of this country in particular have surmounted every obstacle to progress and every danger that menaced them at home or —. eo ‘The report of the Parnell commission grudg- ingly acquite Parnell of the most serious charge against him, and condemns Davitt after @ fashion peculiar to Tory commissions. The faets were too apparent for it to convict, but prejudice was also too strong for it to acquit with- outreservation. The report cannot have mach effect on the political controversy. It places the Tory construction upon the acts and pur- poses of the Land League in Ireland, but frees Parnell from most of the persoual accusations against him. [t cannot serve as an effective political weapon for either party. Both par- ties are construing it ag in its general effect a vietory anda vindication for themselves. In America it will be considered that the decision of @ hostile commixsion which leaves the general verdict at all in doubt is in the nature Of « vietory for the Irish $< ‘The recent studies in George Washington's Jife and achievements should quiet the intima- tion of a luck of creative or origiual mind on hus pact, He who conevived the idea of the Supreme Court as a co-ordinate branch of gov- ernment and foreshadowed the destiny of the great west when so many statesmen were ready to sacrifice the Mississippi river for temporary commercial benefits war a great thinker and Creative statesman as well as a practical man in every-day affairs.
