4 : a THE EVENING STAR. Senate being reorganized in the’ interest of » WASHINGTON. THURSDAY (RosBY 5. NOYES Umes larger t the city. As a lecal NE vertisivg M competitor It bas been semi-offcially announced that President Cleveland has decided upon a line of poliey in the matter of consular appointments which, be is alleged to believe, can only result in material expansion of the stream of exports now flowing from the United States to foreign lands. This very desirable state of affairs is to be bronght about by the selection of only such men as are possessed of exceptional busin qualifications, keen, wide-awake hustlers, w know acommercial opening when they see it and who will keep the American merchant and manufacturer fully informed as to the opporta- nities that present themselves. A more excel- lent or truly patriotic conciusion could hardly be reached, but there are several | politic than he should be and may yet be office- reasons why it can never be much | less when such other eminent Georgians as Mr. more than an attractive theory. Where Pod Dismuke, Mr. Dink Botts and Mr. Potsdam does the President expect to find sound and successful business men who will accept pos paid consular positions? And supposing a few clever traders were secured, how long would / they remain loyal wholly to the national inter- este? Any shrewd business man who finds him- self in » consular position is apt soon to forget the waiting millions of his fellow- . her abandoning or only nominally retaining his consular duties, to be- come deeply engaged in pursuits that promise large financial gain to the consul. If the Presi- dent is going to make business ability the con- salar test people who are not seeking office will watch rather closely to see what manner of men are those who will hire out the ability to earn from $25,000 to $50,000 per annum for the miserable pittance which is doled out to those who represent the greatest of governments in the world’s centers of commerce. ++ Now that the official 1393 schedule of the National Base Ball League has been made public Ta Stan modestly ventures to present local program for which, should it prove in- correct, ample apology will be offered: March 1—Interviews with the management by which xt is made perfectly clear that Wash- ington has the finest team it ever had. ‘April 1—A number of the best men have been laid up in practice, but their places will be ac ceptably filled. May 1—At the end of the procession. New manager engaged who can play four positions and keep one eye on the gate receipts. June 1—Thorough overhauling of the team; eleven new men secured. July 1—Several salaries reduced, new outfield signed and apologies made for nonsuccess. August 1—Next to last. Manager discharged for protesting against the sale of the only ball player in the team. Four new pitchers secured: all amateurs but “wonders.” September 1—Last place. Average .013. Con- tinuous apologies and an endeavor to explain the extraordinary “bad | End of season—Tail enders. One week later—In' ws with manage- ment: “We have been ¥ fortunate, bat all the arrangements are complete for giving Wash- ington, next year, the best team the city has ever bad.” a Mr. Henry Jackson of Tennessee is a son Howell E. on of the ne € 1s would be e wants to jet of Columbia az cause he is ar: two whole weeks. intends to make this ¢ conclusion wou sound sense— ention hardly as potent probatio: Let Mr. He ably a most estimable ¢ fally the home rule plank in platform upon which Preside: stands with be Let bi attention to the words residents, and if he does not quite comprehend their meaning let him ge: an authoritative con- struction of the words from the eminent jurist Fecently aprointed to the Supreme bench of the United : the State of Tennessee. _ —— Baltimore's m: toward the lev I a ies are moving g ofa tax on telegraph, tele- phone and electric light poles, not because the city needs any increase of income, but because it desires to con e the electrical corporations that burying their wires in conduits is cheaper than stringing them overhead. Efforts im the Tine of sucls taxation have hereto’ trated, for a bill authorizing such alevr, passed at the last session of the legislature, was vetoed by the governc however, the state supreme cou: d that tax law- fal, and with this decision to support him the mayor of Baltimore has come to the conclusion that the city council may levy it without spec- ial authority from the legisiatare. The city | solicitor has the matter under consideration and if he agrees with the mayo with the council as to whether th and dangerous overhead wires shall or shall not continue to be within the limits of a progressive and thoroughly wideawake city. —— oe Senator Cullom speaks nothing but the trath when be says that continued agitation of the Bunday-opening proposition will result disas- trously for the world’s fair. A thousand reasons why the exposition should run on the Sabbath would fail to convince some millions of the best ¢itizens that such @ course could possibly be Fight. Already there have been antagonisms aroused which may have a slightly depressing effect upon the gate receipts. but should there bea really earnes: effort made to pass the Sun- day-opening bill now before the Illinois legisla- ture these adverse conditions will be multiplied and intensified. Without entering into a dis- | cussion as to the righteousness or otherwice | of any of the contentions it should be plain now that acquiescence in the congressional pro- j sl March 16,1893. ‘S paper and Ad. | popular tradition that is something that a good m frus- | | Section composing one-fourth of the states of j the Unicn, in which states republican voters | are boldly and successfully disfranchised be- cause they are republicans, and, when the cabi- net of the new President is made up mainly in the interests of the great corporations of the land, there is but added reason for increasing ardor and activity on the part of every true friend of human rights, free labor and self- Tespecting Americanism. The struggle did not nd in 1892. As Abraham Lincoln, in the hour | of a previous republican defeat, so faithfully | said, all republicans may say with fidelity now: ‘The fight must goon. The cause of human | liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one or even one hundred defeats.” All this may be easily understood by some | people, but it seems mysterious to those who | sat beneath Senator Peffer's umbrageous whis- ers and listened attentively to his epic on how he and James B. Weaver and Mary E. Lease and | aman named Vandervoort slew the entire re- publican party when merchantable eggs were worth twenty-one cents a dozen in the Chicago markets. --— 0 -—___ Mr. Teenie Rucker of Georgia is much less | Sams are reveling in official mxury. Mr. Teeme | Rucker lost bis hat while calling upon President Cleveland and was compelled to wait bareheaded until Speaker Crisp could | Purchase a new piece of headgear. Yesterday the President notified Mr. Teenie Rucker that the mislaid hat had been found and might be called for at any time. That was much more of an invitation than has been given to thousands of waiting democrats but Mr. Teenie Rucker says he will nq go back to the White House for any hat; he has a new one; what he wants isa situation. In reaching this conclusion to ignore the presidential courtesy Mr. Teenie Inucker has undoubtedly committed a grave error. If he thought to impress the nation’s chief with indifference as to a mere hat he erred egregiously, for this is the era of | economy and the man who is careless as to his | Personal property will hardly fit into a govern- ment which is to be constructed, if the House idea prevails, on the savings-bank principle. If he imagined that the President would keep the hat and send him an appointment lin its stead then be was wrong again. Perbaps Mr. Teenie Rucker’s blunder may not be fatal in its effects, but it looks to an un- | prejudiced observer as though Mr. Teeni Rucker was standing on one of his own feet while the balance of the procession was moving toward the green pastures and still waters reserved for the faithful Already bas Mr. Cooper Pope been provided for, and there is easy possibility of success in the cam- paigns of Mr. Potsdam Sams, Mr. Pod Dismuke and Mr. Dink Botts, but beyond these there areclouds. If Mr. Teenie Rucker cares to ac- cept a little friendly advice he will call for that hat. He may not care to wear it now that he has a new one, but on a pinch he can use it to talk through. ++ Manipulators of the peanut market who have sent the price of ‘‘goobers” up twenty-five per cent in anticipation of greatly increased de- mand during the exposition period may be pained to learn that Chicago people shun pea- nuts as they do St. Louis beer.
