4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: cnosny EVENING STAR bas a permanent circulat in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper Im the city. As a local NEWS paper and ght of the Commis- 6 police force others soldiers or sailors is is a reaffirma- tion of the decision rendered in the District Supreme Court, accepted by the Commis- sioners and resisted by the first control- ler. It is therefore a finality in the long agitation against the army and navy clause— @ clause of our local law which has been an obstruction to good government for several years. The reason of such enactment ccased when the veterans thus provided for in the law of 1867 became through increasing age lees physically competent than was requisite to be the guardians of the city’s peace and safety, and the law should have ceased. Hutton ease affirms the sioners to appoint on As a matter of fagt, according to ‘the decision referred to confirmatory of the previous decision of the District Court, the Iaw of '67 did cease when the act of June 11, 1873, establishing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia took effect. The court holds that the act of 1973 was an organic act superseding all previ- ous laws relating to the same matter and pro- viding = spstem of government complete in itself. It is clear that the authority given to employ agents, £c., implies the right to select such persons as the Commissioners shall think proper. The court has acted wisely, in aceord- ance with what eppear sound principles of Jaw, and certainly i common sense legal interpretation. ‘The decision not only latitude of selection, but makes it possi- ble to enforce more rigid requirements, physical and educational. The highest stand- ard of physical development should be adhered to and the applicant should be obliged to know more of the art of penmanship and orthogra- phy than the amount necessary to enable him to make out his application. Especixlly should he be a manof character, anda xesident of the Dis- trict,familiar with the city which be is to guard. Appointments on the basis of friendship or in- fluence should be made cut of the question. The police force isan organization of too much importance to the citizen to be in risk of doing duty as a dump for political friends and ser; tors. The striker for a member of Congress in some other city, ignorant of the geography and conditions of the capital, is as unpromising material for a competent guardian of the local peace as can be imagiged. The Commissioners will doubtless see to it for the city’s welfare that in escaping the Scylla of the army pro- vision, the police force does not run into the Charybdis of appointments determined by po- Litical pressure. = er ‘The able Chicago Trilune in discussing its favorite proposition for the election of the President and the Vice President by popular vote either forgets that the present number of constitutional amendments is only fifteen es @ desirable or hopes to sce its other favorite Proposition for the choice of Senators by the people adopted first, for it says that the defects of our existing system should be remedied by the adoption of a seventeenth amendment.

As the Tribune is @ republican newspaper and Mr. Williams a democratic Congressman it would seem that the measure commends itself alike tocertain minds m both parties. Probably it will be found wiser in practice to adopt the district or proportional modification of the present electoral system. It is clear that states Tights republicans like Mr. Edmunds and states rights democrats will never give their support to. a measure which literally obliterates state lines in presidential elections and ascertains the popular will by aggregate popular majori- ties. en ‘That the Supreme Court of the United States should have rendered a nearly unanimous de- cision in favor of the claims of Mr. Boyd to be governor of Nebraska is nota’singular fact. Mr. Boyd had not only been exercising the Fights of free citizenship ever since the admis- sion of the state, but there was the completed citizenship of his father which the mere lack of record could never overthrow. If the supreme tribunal bas ever been under partisan influ- ‘ences—and its judges are mortals—this does not seem to be one of such occasions. Two of the dentocratic justices concur in the judgment ef the court as to its right of jurisdiction, and the only dissident on this point is the oldest democrat and now the oldest in point of service of any of the justices. The decision makes plainer than ever before the law of American citizenship. That it gives to one party an office to which it was entitled in equity although not under the ruliag of the state sa- Preme court is a mere incident in the casa The isolation of Justice Field in the matter of Jarisdiction is due to bis states right position that the matter was one strictly within the competence of the state to scttle finally. It will be recalled that this is the’only Supreme Court decision in an important case ever Givulged in advance of delivery. _—— ‘The summary decision of the Supreme Coart Yesterday in the lottery case would seem to be good law based on the constitutional powers of Congress. It certainly gratifics that large class of citizens who regard lotteries as hostile to the public interests. The federal government has we control over the press—its freedom is se- cured by the state and by federal constitution. The Supreme Court simply declares the right in Congress under the constitutional power to establish post offices and post roads to decide that matter which it deems vicious shall not circulate through the mails.
