4 THE EVENING STAR. w ASHINGTON. THURSDAY. * April 13, 1893. a cRosey s. Noes. THE EVENING STAR basa regular and ermanent circulation In Washington three times larger than that efany other paper Ii the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Wi has ne competitor. Representative Meredith of Virginia has fallen into the error of confusing the legislative and executive branches of the government. He has been chosen by the people of the eighth Vir- ginia district to represent them in Congress, to participate in national legislation, and incident- ally to serve as @ local legislator for the capital But in no shape whatsoever does there devolve upon him the executive function of removing from or appointing to office in the District of Columb. He has not even the Senatorial privilege of advising and consenting to certain appointments. He is a legislator pure and sim- ple—-simple at any rate—and he has no more to do with directing dismissals or appointments at the District building than the Akhoond of Swat. ‘When he presumes to order the District Commis- sioners to dismiss acettain clerk and peremptor- fly announces that his remcval must be made he usurps a function of the President; he expands himself into a sub-president for the District of Columbia, and he insults both the President of the United States whose prerogative he usurps and the District Commissioners whose self- respect he wounds. If President Cleveland thinks it not beneath his dignity to pursue and punish a petty clerk in the District auditor's office who called him hard names in the scur- Tilous political campaign of 1934 he of course bas the power to cause the man’s official decap- itation. But if he holds that the statute of limitations runs in eight years against the misdemeanor of offensive pertisanship, or if he is too big = msn to pay any at- tention whatsoever to such small fry, then be may well resent the attitude in which his self- constituted viceroy bas placed him. Mr. Mere-| 4ith showed no execntive credentials in his visit to the District building, and the chances sre that his assumption of authority was as much an impertinence to the President of the | United States as it was to the District Commis- sioners. It is a matter of very little conse- quence whether this offending clerk goes or stays. The slightest authorized intimation of desire for his removal on President Cleveland's part woald of course be promptly recognized and obeyed by the District Commissioners, But it is a matter of consequence, and of serious consequence, to the whether every Representative whom the whim seizes may betake himself to the District build- ing and there crack a slave driv- ers whip about the ears of tho Dis- trict Commissioners, instructing and com- manding them in respect to appointments with which as a part of the executive branch of gov- ernment they sre officially intrusted. There has been entirely too much of this brow beating and bulldozing inthe past. One of the great-st obstacles to the acceptance of the office of D trict Commissioner by able, intelligent and self- respecting citizens isthe knowledge that they will be subjected to the insolence of those mem- bers of Congress who are so small as to attempt | to bargain for offices as the price of performing their constitutional function as District legisla- | tors or who are +o contemptible as to threaten | injury to the capital's welfare if the Commis- | sioners in self-respect resent their dictatorial demands. It is well that Commissioner Par-| ker bas entered vigorous and manly protest against this idea that the District Commission- ersare dogs to be ordered and kicked about at the will of every member of Congress whom an inseratable Providence has sent to the espital, and who may take it into his head to vary his legisiative duties by bossing the Dis- trict building. The Commissioners bave cer- tain important local executive functions, and in their performance they are the representatives of the President of the United States. In ful- filling these duties the President will surely protect them against the threats and insults of individual Congressmen or apy other interlopers whatsoover. If he has definite wishes in respect | to the manner in which the Commissioners shall perform any of these functions, small or | great, be can and doubtless will intimate them by direct suggestion. That is his privilege and he is not afraid to exercise it He is not at all likely to delegate his powers toa Representa- | tive from Virginia or to constitute the latter an | Ambassador Exiraordinary and Plenipoten- tiary to lay down the law in a dictatorial way to ‘those worms of the earth, the District Com- missioners. ——_ + ++—___ ‘The western wind storm was as violent as populist oratory and agreat deal more dam- aging. + e+ Grain Operator Pardridge bas discovered that it is the other man’s deal. ——__ +++ ____ A close attention to Washington's liquid sup- | plies is the only sort of milk and water admin-| istration that the city can stand in'the health | fice, ——-- +02 —- — ‘There is growizg and satisfying conscious- ness that ambassadors are not so bad after you get used to them. — 0 The U.

It indicates the existence of letter carriers who bare idle moments. ‘To the average citizen it is difficult to picture a letter carrier who ever did loaf, or who con- templated luefing, or who would know how to loaf if he wanted to. ’ ‘The average American, intensely loyal to the land of bis birth or adoption, is apt to make | hasty and indignant comment whea a critic, | who may be just es earnest a citizen of the | great republic, intimates that in some respects many things common to civilization are done | better ia Europe than in the United States. But patriotic indignation should not exert itself | tohide a national weakness; as other nations | nce so let us bor- | Towa little of that knowledge the acquirement | of which cost somebody else somuch. In point | have profited by our expe: Of the equipment which relates most clovely to the comfort of those individuals who travel American railroads are superior to any and all others, but there are matters of much greater public consequence in which is evi- dent a painful and annoying inferiority. In this country a few human lives more or less | do not count for muc! ; in Engiand the killing of half a dozeu people on grade crossings would | Result im proceedings most uncomfortable to the corporation or corporations on whése tacks the sacrifice took place. Instructive @omparisons and contrasts are instituted and | made plain by William M. Acworth, who writes from across the Atlantic to the Engineering Magazine. ‘This instructive communication shows clearly some of the great differences be- tween company methods in the reaim of her Majesty and on that portion of the footstool over which Grover Cleveland now reigns with- | out assistance. Aingle track line from Ann- bank collieries to Troon Harbor, on the Firth | of Clyde, was constructed to divert some of the coal shipping basiness from Ayr. The line ie but three miles long, does no passenger Dusiness, and has no stations between its termini, yet in its entire length there is not s single grade crossing. Constructed after the | American fashion there would be fifteen of ‘those homicidal opportunities, bat over there there are fifteen over and under bridges, some District of Columbia | | for the purpose of slaughtering any one or, as | is solidly supported by public sentiment, made the construction cost $55,000 per mile. The expenditure would not have been less had there been grade crossings instead of bridges. In- terest on and maintenance of each bridge would there amount to about €375 per annum. A new railway cannot be built to cross a public road on the level without special parliamentary sanction, which is given only under very extraordinary circumstances, and then the company is compelled to maintain gates at the crossing, with interlocked signals, and wth a gatekeeper in constant attendance; thie cannot be done for as emalia sum as @375 for each crossing, so the bridge is really pref- erable. Mr. Acworth—who isa high author- ity—says that railways would never have been suffered to exist in Great Britain had they been as reckless of human life ss American railways have been and toa great extent stillare. “An }Englishman.”’ says he, “can only stare with astonishment when he sees for the first time trains ranning through crowded streets of cities such as New York and Chicago." He has ‘a vivid recollection of watching long trains of freight cars running down Tenth avenue in New York, to the New York Central's depot, in one of the busiest parts of the city, and as he looked he remembered that the most powerful of English corporations—the London and | Northwestern—tried in vain for three years to obtain permission to move one freight car at a time by horse power across a narrow street in & very quiet part of London. He is satisfied that these great differences spring largely from American disregard for the individual, and the mast not be supersensitive when it is suggested that “‘they do some things better in Europe.” oe A lesson that should be beeded was taught most dicastrously by the cyclonic disturbances which did so much damage yesterday in several of the western states. Dwellers in eastern cities have, as a rule, but faint ideas as to the character of construction common in those regions where the hurricane flurishes.

That careless legislation bas produced | undesirable conditions is admitted, but these | conditions can be removed without lawlessness | and bloodshed; the revolutionary power of the | ballot is undoubted. But the average Russian | nibilist is too impatient to adopt the slow but | sure method. He proposes to reform by mur- | der. But two or three days ago the Pittsburg police discovered a group of eighteen Russian patriots who had banded themselves together far as possible.every one who would dare stand between them and their social ideal.

In addition to the disinterested mo-! tive of pleasing Mr. Cleveland by recalling and | } resutrecting the personal scurrility of the 1884! campaign, Mr. Meredith evidently had ai other | | and less lofty purpose in creating by this self- | issued edict a vacancy at the District building. | —_+++—___ Foreign governments that sent representa- tive vessels here to participate in the great | | naval review paid this country a highly appre- ciated compliment, but it is less sincere than | the honor done the United States in the objec- | tions raised to a land parade of the sailors who man the big ships from across the sea. Gov. Flower wanted to have some such demonstra- tion on the streets of New York, but the propo- | sition was shelved, principally because a larze percentage of the foreign crews would surely desert for the purpose of taking up residence in this desirable dwelling piace. ————__+<«— And while the Senators are threatening or dodging several varisties of investi mm why do they not make one more enthusiastic effort to find out how the newspaper men manage to secure such Accurate reports of executive ses- | sions?

It is the kind of ring rule that @ man nerer can get away from. “Don't you believe that love laughs at lock- smiths,” ‘sid the wig maker. “I know be- cause I'm a sort of lock smith myself.” The American is inevitably predisposed to slang. Even the infant in its cradle discovers that he feels “rocky.” Probably the first cooking school product on record is the famous pie whose four and twenty lack birds were so under done that tuey be- gan to sing as soon as it was opened.
