+ WASHINGTON. FRIDAY... CROSBY 5. NoYES. THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three thmes larger than that efany ether paper iu e city. As @ leeal NEWS paper and Ad- ertising Medium it has ne competitor. ‘The strongest objection to the army com- missioner feature of the local government sys tem ia based apon the lack of preparation for the performance of municipal duties by the aver- age army officer. whose training. experience and professional traditions tend rather to unfit him to deai with wisdom and tact and patience with civilians and civilian labors. Considera- | ble time is required by the most intelligent and reasonable of new military commissioners be- fore he can adapt himself to the changed con- ditions, can learn the municipal ropes, can fully appreciate that he is dealing with civilians instead of army subordinates. This difficulty | is to a large extent removed if the principles of | the merit system are applied in the selection of engineer commissioner and one of the military assistants to such commissioner, who bas by such service acquainted himself with local needs and the requirements of the} Position, is promoted to the commissionership. In this way Capt. Rossell was chosen, and the result in his case, so beneficial to the welfare of the community, commends the adoption of » similar method of selection in the present instance. The rule again commissioner. Neither of the excellent off- cers who have gained experience as assistants to Capt. Rossell is now eligible to appointment as commissioner, in view of the requirement as to length of service. But the civil service reform principle will be observed and the in- | terests of the capital city will be most wisely promoted if some previous assistant to the engineer commissioner, who bas shown in-| telligence, activity anc progressivencss in this | public service, is promoted for merit to the | place left vacant by Capt. Roseell’s retire-| ment. It is hoped that the President will | give Washington the benefit of the acquired experience of some such officer, and not com- pel the capital to experiment with « muni- cipal ruler entirely new to the conduct of its affairs. +02 A Connecticut man took poison and proceeded to make written notes of his sensations, He was saved from death in the nick of time. His methodical manner of preparing for death and his devotion to science prove that he is a man of ability, who had no right to sacrifice a life with which he might do good. It is possible to imagine conditions under which a logical mind could discover some justification for suicide. But it is not the people whom disease has re- duced to the condition of abject helplessness, mental ana physical, that as s rule take their own lives. The vigorous, healthy people, whose ambitions are lofty and whose energies are great, seem most susceptible to the temptation of self-destruction. The intensity of an ener- getic nature makes the step from disappoint- ment to despair the more easily taken. Theo-| rists are interesting when they argue that people who are ready to leave the world should be allowed to do so; but as a matter of fact the laws which interfere with attempts in this direc- tion as a rule reach people whose spirits recu- Perate almost as rapidly as they droop, and who live to wonder how they could ever have contemplated such a step. —_—_++-___ ex-office holders | might forbid the reappointment of an ex-| | the Postmaster General, the Secretary of the | hard to understand how the idea of having THE EVENING 8TAR: WASHINGTON, variety of desirable and really cheap lodging | accommodation. A large of Wash- ington's population is employed by the general government at salaries that are far from ex- travagant, and in obedience to the immutable law of supply and demand there have been reared hundreds of establishments that afford sound food and unbroken shelter in return for very moderate payments. Already have the favorable conditions enumerated by Brother Dana combined with the vital facts just stated by Tae Sram to entice into our midst a great multitude of those who hunger and thirst after knowledge, and there is ample room for thou- sands more. Brother Dana was doubtless right when he advised his correspondent to steer clear of Boston and Philadelphia because schol- | arship is not now encouraged in either place, | and his inference that « scholar who located in any western town would soon cease to be & scholar is, in a comparative sense, not unrea- | sonable, but he may yet be compelled to de- fend his claim that New York is the center of modern American scholarship; and a compari- son of the literary and scientific riches neces- | sary to great mental growth would not assist him. “New York,” says he, ‘‘is the Athens of | America, and Boeotia lies away off somewhere.” 4 pleasant fiction, Brother Dana. When Bos- ton surrendered its Athenian claim it did so in | favor of Washington. New York is the place for a live business man, but the home of the scholar is Washington. nn Precedence in the cabinet 1s a matter of some importance in view of the fact that the presi- dential succession runs through that body. Every newspaper in the country has at some time or other printed a roster of President Cleveland's official family but none of them have given the officials their propet positions in line. | First is the Secretary of Stateand then, in se- quence, follow the Secretary of the Treesury, the Secretary of War, the Attorney-General, Navy, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture. The relative merits of the gentlemen filling these positions cut no figure in the succession act—precedence is Sxed by law—but the last on the roll is just as likely to be first in point of eminence, or if he is not first he may come in an easy second. This was made plain during the Harrison administra- tion; precedence had no deterrent effect upon the brain-force of Gen. Jeremiah M. Rusk. ——_+++ ___ The objection of J. Chinaman to being photo- graphed may be due to the manner in which he has suffered at the hands of amateur snap-shot artists. And yet, after studying the peculiar ar- rangement of the celestial features, it is not so them perpetuated in portrait might be very distastefal. SHOOTING STARS. ‘TRE WORDS FoR 17. ‘They were talking about » man whom they had both known in the west. “He was very even tempered.” “T should say s0.”” “Wonderfully quiet and collected.” “Yes. Iwas there when it happened, and ‘quiet and collected’ are the very words for it.” “What do you mean?” “Why, didn’t youknow about it? He was one of the men that tried to thaw out dynamite.” suspicious. A man who has earned the reputation of be- ing about as close fisted as people get to be was accosted by a mendicant. When the latter recognized him he hesitated. Governor Roswell P. Flower of New York bas been extremely popular with the National | Guardsmen of hisstate, but he will be less so | from now on; in fact he may become actually | unpopular. The change in military sentiment | toward the governor was brought about by that official's amendment of the military code of the | state so as to permit the use of state armories | by every school in the state that has as drill in- structor an officer of the army or the National Guard. The Buffalo Commercial says that Gov, Flower was asked some time ago to grant this concession by William H. Walker, a Tam- many assemblyman, who wanted an armory for | the use of the school of 8. Franccis Xavier in the eighth district, and who declared that Tam- many and Hibernian sentiment would compel assent legislatively if it was not done by the executive. Asimilar but unsuccessful effort | was made when Gov. Hill was commander-in- chief of the empire state troops. Among the | soldier boys Hill is, just now, more highly Tegarded than Flower. —_+++__—_ Agitation in favor of fifteen-minute ser-| mons still continues in several parts of the country, and some of those who measure ora- tory by the yard and think it ought to be paid for after the same plan want to reduce ministe- rial salaries in the same ratio. That is an| unfair movement.

He had written poetry once himself and his experi- ences had evidently led him to make a resolve to get even with the poetry writing public. It was a blushing young woman who said to him: “Have vou examined my manuscript: “Yes. I'm sorry, but it can't be used. “But,” and it took all her courage, “I took so much pains with it.” “I could see*that, but you know that there is noart which has advanced less in its mechan- ical detail than typography. Men set type now just the same way that they did years and es. And that's the difficulty about your poem.” “Do you mean that your facilities are not sufficient for its proper presentation?” “That's itexactly. As yet no way has been discovered for getting neat penmanship and sky blue ribbon into print.” ——_+eo The Infant Prodigy in China. ‘The Shanghai Mercury tells of a Chinese boy of ten who dearly loved a maiden + ears older, and after lavishing upon her au ais in- | dulgent parent would give him was coldly jilted for a more mature devotee of fifteen. The boy found his rival and the girl together and attacked the hated one with a knife, spill- ing much gore on adjacent space. The boys were spanked with bamboo and the girl with leather strap, but none of the trio evinced much penitence. It is a swift world, and China seems tobe not lagging behind.—San Fran- A seeker after accurate information wrote to | Brother Dana of the New York Sun asking | him “which is the pleasantest city for a schoiar | to live in, next to New York?” and Brother Dana, who is as truthfnl as he is sarcast: plied very promptly “Washington.” he would have said had the inquirer omitted cought to be ap- the words “next to New York” parent to any one who loyal is every York. But the scholar was by no means guile- | lees. He knew that without bis cautious reser- | Vation the query would result in lengthy lauda- tion of a great commercial center, so he added enough to his real question to give Brother Dana an opportunity to write several very nice | things about the federal city. “We are ready to say, plies Brother Dana, “that, after New Ydrk, the national capital ts the place for ascholar. It is th second best place in the country for him. It is ® political school all @e year round for in- struction in government, statesmanship and diplomacy. It has the Smithsonian Institu- tion, the Corcoran Art Gallery, the Congres- sional Library, the Observatory, the Botanic Garden, two museums, several theaters, many grand public buildings, a number of institutions of learning and plenty of eburches of all com- munions. Itis s pretty healthy place. It is tess wicked than some other places, perhaps. Intelligent and seholariy people may be found there. It is « piace in which « scholar can live, enjoy himself and pursue his researches. If he be forced to go outside of New York let him take look at Washington.” All of which is quite pleasant and very true. Several of the city’s educational attractions are not mentioned, but in view of the con- clusions reached the omissiqns are not material. But when Brother Dana goes on to say that Washington is an expensive place in which to live he makes serious misstatement. In wo other large city on this continent are the | cisco Examiner.
