THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY..... .-.-Mareh 25, 1893. CROSBY 8S. NorEs. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and| permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper in the city. As = local NEWS paper and Ad- Medium tt has ne competit: After long labor and much tribulation Wash- ington has secured the creation of s court of appeals. In the debates upon the legislation establishing it Congress emphasized in every way the local aspects not only of the proposed but the existing court. The life tenure feature wasattacked on the uncontradicted ground that this is not a constitutionally provided United States court. No provision was made for retirement of the appellate judges. Instead of following the usual method of meeting the expenses of United States courts the cost was imposed one-haif upon the people of Washing- tom, the court being treated a» in precisely the same category as other purely local institu- tions. The local flavor of our courts was fur- ther intensified by taking the existing supreme court from the list of United States courts whose expenses are paid extlusively by the United States, and placing it in the category of purely local institutions, one-half of its cost to be locally met. The claim of Washington to loeal appointments on the local beneb, already strong under the democratic home-rule plank ‘and in reason and justice, has now become log- ically irresistible. And yet doubts verbally ex- pressed are hoard every day as to whether President Cleveland will “give” to District all or two or even one of appellate judges. These doubts can hardly have substantial foundation. In the neglect of the District by its statute-enacting body it is governed to an unusual extent by modern court-made law, built upon the interpretation | and construction of venerable statutes, many | of them of doubtful application. The vast | power of the judiciary in all parts of the re- | public is augmented here in the District. The | task of creating in its entirety the appellate judicial tribunal of « community of « quarter million of people is one of tremendous respon- sibility. The question is not one of “giving” an office to this or that man, it is not one of pleasing a political party,or a personal or political friend, or even of gratifying the local dar, if by any strange ehanco it should happen to be united ir respect to the appointments. ‘The problem is the scleetion of life-long judges, dealing with properts-interests, liberty and life. at the eapital of the nation, with the power to wield a vaster, farther reaching, more con- tinuous influence over the material and physi- cal destinies of its quarter million of people than any other three men in existence. Wash- ngton is entitled todemand from the Presi- dent the exercise of the most thoughtful con- sideration in forming this tribunal. Acquaint- ance with the peculiar court procedure in the District, differing so widely from that of the code states, and some acquired facility in ran- sacking the intricacies of our confused and complicated substantive law are viewed aa essen- tial to prevent s new judge from serving a sort of judicial apprenticeship, with the inevitable detriment to the local welfare. The District bar is large in numbers and strong in ability, and furnishes the best material out of which to make District judges. It is not to be expected that the President will inflict xpon the capital for its appellate court a tribunal composed entirely or largely of strangers, to try their ‘prentice hands on our highest local court in constru- ing laws which they do not know and in en- forcing a procedure with which they are unac- quainted. ——___+ «+ the | ite | of the roadway. wire.

Here the coionels occupy all the seats in the hotel corridors and perch on the trunks in the baggage department and | stand around in dark corners while endeavor- | ing to console one another for bitter disap- pointments caused by a lack of presidential ap- preciation. Men who took their coats off last fall so as to give their lungs free play whisper sobbingly of ingratitude and several other things that they honestly believe are under- mining the national foundations. And how is itm Hawaii? The Honolulu Commercial Ad- vertiser of the 9th instant says in its news columns that for some days there has been “discontent among the ranks of the government's supporters, simply on account of several of the appointments that have been made. The people who have been leased are not going around in a noisy, dis- contented manner, but their displeasure is evi- dent, none the less. There are quite a number of good men walking about the streets who were on hand during the darkest hours previous to the overthrow of the monarchy; men who carried a rifle in their hands and stood ready to back up the committee of thirteen with their lives. Up to now little has been done for these people, although a number of changes have been made in public ofices. The men who feel sore are still good friends of the government, and all stand ready to back it up again if it should be found necessary, but they object to having offices filled with people who are not friends and even now are not sympathizers with the aew order of things.” Commenting on the foregoing facts the editor remarks, in an off- hand sort of way, that it is not too late to hope for better things, and further suggests that if the city marshal and the head of the fire de- partment cannot find any one to fill the offices but “adberents of the lost cause” there are others who can. Is it possible that the bloody shirt is to be one of the political institutions of | Hawaii? —_-- +++ —__. For many years men and women of more or less prominence in literature have been deeply stirred by reason of averments which insisted that those dramatic and poctic masterpieces whieh are known to the world as the works of William Shakespeare were really the products of Francis Bacon's brain and pen. Careful students who have applied judicial methods to the investigation of such an important charge are frequently of the opinion that one man was author of the plays, the eseays and the philoso- Reposeful minds may slumber through the literary refinements of classic Boston and ad-| mirers of verdant meads and babbling brocks | pen sonnets in their praise, but the average | is unreceptive. It takes the prairies to describe nature's great wonders and arouse the enthusiasm of common folk. One of the wildest and wooliest yard- wide correspondents has been gazing into the | depths of the Grand Canon of the Colorado and beneath the caption “Knocked ‘em Silly” the exteemed Omaha Bee prints the following out- barst of ornate language: | “I promised to send you a description.

Oh, fitful fountain pen of mine, ‘You epray with dots my every line, one man to be William Shakespeare. Occasion- aily Mr. Vinton’s testimony is a trifle weak, but his chain of reasoning remains unbroken throughout a very plausible and creditable effort. He shows that Shakespeare was the con- fidential literary servant of Essex, Southamp- ton and Bacon; that such relations were com- mon in those days as they are, but less pub- licly, in the present age. Evidences of Shake- speare’s geaius are plentifully quoted and there is no lack of history to prove that Shake- speare was, in spite of his somewhat slavish condition and as early as 1592, 8 man of con- derable note. Robert Greene's satire “A Sroat’s worth of wit bought with a million of repentance,” published in 1592, and aimed directly at Shakespeare, «hows conclusively that he was of sufficient importance to compel envy; @ condition which was almost imme- diately emphasized by an apology written by Chettle, who was Greene's editor, in which—it was printed in tract form—he said that al- though personally guiltless of wrong he was as Sorry as if the original fault had been bis own to have offended a man so courteous, so gifted, and one who by his worth and ability had risen high im the esteem of his superiors in rank and station.

The grsdual improvement in respect an admirable official, closely attentive to | Shakespeare's fortunes and the parallel diminu- his duties and most popalar in intellectually so- | tim of Bacon's wealth is referred to for the cial circles.

Of these two clases are those who would welcome the “overhead teolley” system of street car propulsion. Ad-) Voeates of the overhead wire orate flippantly a to its harmleseness and quote imaginary experiences of employes who merely for their health’s sake are accustomed to daily jar their livers with four or five hundred volts of the electric fluid, but these glib lecturers may net be so ready after reading the opinion of an expert electrician, published elsewhere in Tux Stas, to the effect that but « small percentage of humanity have sufficient natural resistance to overcome « shock of five hundred volte. It is true that men have touched heavily charged wires and have recovered but, as the expert quoted says, the full force of the current was pet exercwed ard could not be unless the man wore shoes of rubber or some other sbsolutely later; yet in those ten years Bgcon wrote abso- lutely nothing. “The Great Instauration” was never completed, not because Bacon did not try to finish it, but becanse in Mr. Vinton’s opinion the hand that wrote the first books was dust. Having iong wrangled over the question whether Bacon was himself and Shakespeare the literary world may now wrestle with the counter allegation that Shakespeare was him- self and Bacon. oa A wild western imitator of the inhuman origi- nators of that long-digtance military race which was so much talked of in Europe last year has made arrangements for a competition that is in many respects similer. Two score or more of cowboys, mounted on native ponies, are to race from Chadron, Neb., to Chicago, and are scheduled to arrive in the latter city shortly after the opening of the world’s fair. That the schedule may be upset is the earnest wish of every lover of man’s most useful friend. Pos- sessed of eccentricities not easily understood or controlled by unskilled equestrians, the pony of the plains is nevertheless a faith- fal animal in whose behalf too little has been done. This meaningless, senseless effort to torture him should be promptly and effectively interfered with. A hundred such races would not add anything of value to the fund of gen- eral information nor would they prove en- durance greater than that already displayed on countless notable occasions when men’s lives and fortunes were at stake. Cruelty to animals ispunishable in the states of Nebraska, Iowa and Dlinois.
