4 THE EVENING STAR. " WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY . ...&pril 26, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES... on ee THE EVENING STAR hase regular and permanent circalation in Washington three times larger than that ofany other paper in the efty. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competitor. The fleet of cruisers, lately at Hampton Roads and now in New York harbor, is pro- foundly interesting and suggestive as an Amer- fcan spectacle. Never before in the western hemisphere has there been such a gathering. Of course many naval reviews in Europe, dis- playing great warships as well as cruisers, have ‘equaled or surpassed the present assemblage in umber of vessels, of men and of guns. But never before has America had such a spectacle brought to its very door. To render the occa- sion additionally unique these cruisers are sent not as agencies of destruction, for the purposes for which they hwe been built, but as the Dearers of tokens of peace and good will among men in the harmonious celebration, by the old and new world alike, of the discovery of the | new. In addition to gratifying a sentiment the re- view has a practical value in arousing Ameri- can interest in the new navy which the republic is constructing and in strengthening the | national determination to regain commercial | sapremacr. We have no reason to be ashamed of our cruisers, examining them critically si by side with those of the naval powers o world. Wehave every reason to be the notable progress made toward building up navy in so short a time and in the face of 60 many obstacles, and to expect great things of the future. ‘The importance of the tendency and move- ment in the United States to make of the re- public » mazitime power is recognized in Eu- rope. The able London journal, Industries, discussing the progress of ship-building in| America with the recent inauguration of the ‘American line of steamers as a text, points out that the manufacture of iron and steel in this country now exceeds that of Great Britain, and that not only has native talent been trained, but large numbers of skilled designers and | workers from ail parts of Europe have trans- ferred their services to the American continent. | “We have.” it says, “evidence which can- not be gainsaid that the American ship- builders and engincers are able to turn out, work equal to the best in this country, Doth in design and construction.” In some respects superiority is conceded. “There | can be no doubt that the Americans are capable of considerable originality in ship | demgn, as bas been abundantly shown in some | of the recent additions to their navy. More- over, in every department of mechanical indus- try to which their attention bas been specially directed they have shown themselves capable of making great improvements, and we believe that in certain respects some of their industries conducted on more scientific and systematic lines than the corresponding industries in this | country.” The moral drawn is a note of warning to the British to keep their eyes open | and profit by what they see, to the end that they may not be distanced in the race. | Room for the new navy and the American merchant marine! — It is an absurd condition of affairs which will be remedied if the recommendation of the civil service commission is carried out, that the Dis- trict government derives no benefit from the civil service law. ‘The arguments made in bebalf of civil service reform and which were convincing enough to secure from Congress the present | civil service law apply to no body of public | servants with greater force than they do to the | employes of the District government. The lot of the District official, as well as of the Dis- trict employe. bas been probably rendered more | unhappy by the making of civil service rules | which barricaded nearly every other branch | of the government and left this one unprotected against the spoils hunter. The various bureaus of the District gov- erement are business institutions, in which the competency of the clerks, whose | number is limited by the appropriation acts, is a matter of much importance. When inefi- cient clerks are appointed or retained in office at the dictation of political leaders the District's business and the District taxpayers suffer. There is no political reason for delaying the application of the law to the District govern- ment, for by reason of necessities which have existed owing to the relations borne by the District government to Congress as well as to the executive, the patronage bas been so fairly divided that it is never difficult to make out a showing slightly ir favor of either the republi- can or democratic side of the account in ac-| cordance with the desire of him whu does the | figuring. So the civil service rules might now wel! be applied while honors are easy. The | District Commissioners themselves, whose | whole time might be employed to advantage in | the consideration of the matters of public in-| terest constantly demanding their attention, are | obliged under the present system to give much | of their time and to exhaust their patieace over small matters of appointments In many | ways the application of the civil service rule to | the municipal offices would be a distinct gain | to the District, provided of course the appor-| tionment of offices prohibition against office-| holding by residents of the District were not ied. There would be « reduction to ab-| surdity of that unjust and preposterous lew if | it were caused to govern the distribution of | local offices. It would amount to the declara- | tion: “No District offices for District men!” | And it might serve as s counterbalance on| paper—none is needed in fact—of the directly | coutradictory announcement of the home rule plank of the democratic platform. It will, | however, be « difficult task even for the most | malignant ingenuity toclassify the District gov- ernment as one of “the departments at Wash- ington” to which the apportionment law ap- plies. ——__-+++ —___ { Now that Edwin Booth’s physicians have | begun issuing bulletins telling bow well be is | there is widespread apprehension lest the end ie pear. a ‘New York will experience a big boom when ‘the whole fleet fires a salute. —_~++____ The office seekers can now have a week of much needed rest. | ——__++-+ —___ The Engineering News prints an interesting | the compressed sir system for urban and eaburban tremway traffic as worked st Berne consists in the pleasing appearance of the motor ‘cars if properly proportioned; in the absolutely smooth and noiseless motion; im the total absence of smoke, steam or heat, of overhead BESREE HoH ipresi rll i i cars, or loading stations every four or seven miles.” The advantages of independent motors for individual cars which will prevent the stoppage of « whole system by terest. Some independent motive power, as the storage battery, compressed air or gas motor, is in the end almost sure to prevail. a ‘The general public is but slightly interested in the conclusions reached or to be reached by the board of army officers whose duty it is to select what it deems to be the best of the many magazine rifles submitted toit by inventors of any or all nationalities, but the general public is soon going tobe deeply interested in the charges which have, it is waid, been made as to the partiality alleged to have been displayed by members of that board. These complaints seem to have their origin among the American inventors and some of the allega- tionsare such as may not be treated lightly despite the fact that disinterested and un- prejudiced people will be very slow to believe that the officers whose fairness is being attacked would discriminate in favor of aliens, Some time ago the board recommended the adoption by the army of the Krag-Jorgensen gun, but the recommendation was held in abeyance because Americans claimed to have su- perior “shooting-irons” that were « trifle short of complete. Time was given to those who demanded it, and the board is now studying the rifles recently submitted. A correspondent who has probed deeply into the trouble says that American inventore complain of diseourtesy and declare that the action of the board throughout has been such as to show very strongly that no gun of American invention had any chance of being recommended for adoption by some’of the members of the old board, who were bound, at all hazards, to stand by their | recommendation in favor of the foreign arm. ‘There will have to be pretty positive proof be- fore any one who knows the intense American- ism of the army officer believes a fragment of | the nebulous assertions. Aninventor naturally | insists that his product is superior to all others | and there are times when his opinion cannot | be upset. People sympathize with him and | understand his persistency, but they are few! who will join with im in his efforts to sully | the characters of those who stand ready at any | moment to fight for America ani American | principles. +32 ‘The citizens of Northeast Washington will continue to have a grievance so long as the | grade crossing exists to obstruct travel and | endanger life. Their appeal for more perfect | precautionary arrangements at the crossings should not go unbeeded, but the best that can | be devised will not make life safe or prevent | the annoying delays caused by the stopping or | passing of trains. Life should not be risked | upon the possible cool headedness and vigilance of agateman. Only by abolishing the grade | crossing can such safety as the people have a | Tight to, be secured. | +e A citizen of Brooklyn writes to the news- | papers complaining about the erection of stables in a residence section of that city. One case is cited where man in spite of the almost unanimous protests of his neighbors decided to consult bis own interests and erect a stable. ‘The writer inquires if the board of health can not probibit the stable on the ground that it is a menace to health. There are a number of stables in this city which are complained of as depreciating the value of property and asa constant source of annoyance and discomfort to residents in the immediate neighborhood. Achange in the building regulations that will restrict the erection of such buildings, at least im the closely built up sections of the city, would seem to be in line with modern sanitary ideas. ————— When the Reichstag does go into ageneral row it does it in tyle which shows there is no justification for the prevalent American notion that there is no life left in the effete Eutopean monarchies. ————_+++—___ It won't be long at this rate before Adlai's ax will be needed to chop Adlai out of an undeserved obseurity. ——— Carl Schurz likens the office seekers to « cloud of locusts.
