THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, MONDAY, MAY 8, 1893—TEN PAGES, MONDAY. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washi times larger than that city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Yertising Medium it has no competitor, Wearied by importunity and disgusted at the display of selfish impertinence which is com- mon at the outset of all American administra- tions, President Cleveland has done what none ©f his predecessors dared to do. He has writ- ten and promulgated a declaration of inde- Pendence which will be read with a greater Present interest than attaches to that other declaration which cost Thomas Jefferson so much thought and anxiety. To those who have with their own eyes beheld the scramble for office the presidential conclusion is not sur- Prising, for from the time of Mr. Cleveland's arrival in this city last March up to Saturday afternoon he has been overrun by thousands who imagined that they would be heard for | ‘their much speaking. In season and out of | Season, at all times and in all places, the per- sistent seekers after recognition andsalary have their claims and urged speedy action. times they were alone, more frequently they sheltered themselves beneath the wings of Senators or Representatives, occasionally they had the support of big delegations of Prominent partisans, but no matter how or ‘where they came, whether with or without al- lies, they tormented and worried without ces- sation. Intent only on what they deemed to be personal advantage they raw nothing of the presidential disapproval, and now that the door Of the White House is closed they profess aston- febment and give utterance to language that approximates closely to harahness. That the | President is right is beyond question, and the @iscontented ones have not even the poor priv- flege of saying that he was himself and but re- cently a seeker after office. Perhaps he did as- pire to the nomination which was made in Chicago June last, but the man who wants to prove that he fought and importuned and persistently begged for it, will fail to find the | evidence. Mr. Cleveland because the democratic party believed he de- served the honor and because especially it was generally understood that no other democrat -¢ould poll anything like the number of votes he could. This is the condition that gives the President such power as has been made mani- fest in the order issued yesterday evening, and asthere is no possibility of Mr. Cleveland's being elected for a third term it is quite prob- ‘able that the forceful nature of his administra- tion will suffer no changes, and that before his next successor qualifies as chief magistrate the People of the United States will have been trained to know that a President bas many Public duties to perform that are of immeasur- ably greater importance than the business of office-broking. Aside from this consideration— which of itself is not small—some respect should be paid to the physical President. Noone not intimately acquainted with the methods of office-svekers has any idea of the wear and tear suffered by him who has been com- Pelled to listen hour after hour, day after day, Week after week and month after month to the wultitudinous arguments of the “hot and hungry” ones, but Washington, in whose midst | this sort of thing has been happening for neerly a hundred years knows enough of the evil tobe sympathetic. Artemus Ward once offered to lend bis collection of “‘snaix” to the then mob-afflicted President for the purpose of scaring office-seekers out of the White House. ‘The necessity for repressive measures was not Urgent in those days as it has been since March 4,and if “snaix” could have been justifiably employed during Grant's time twoor three Menageries would be overworked now. Grover Cleveiand, however, has shown his ability to tackle the situation single handed, and in his endeavor to free the presidential office from this waste of time and energy which should be devoted to higher duties, he will receive tna support of all right-thinking people, no matter ‘what their partisan inclinations, ——_~eeo—____ More than once Tur Star has called atten- tion to the fact that Washington was abont to be provided with the one thing 1t has conspic- ously lacked—n hail sufficiently large to ac- commodate some of the great national assem- blies that have beea held elsewhere because of was nominated | would not be too longa period if a thorough inspection of the fair is desired, and even if an enthusiast spent thirty days inside the inclosure the cost of admission would-be but fifteen dol- lars. Luncheons will cost something, but they need not be more expensive than they would be anywhere else. World’s Fair restaurauteurs are, it is true, dent upon charging as much as possible, but they are not likely to get ahead of shrewd visitors; the lunch basket isa popular feature of every-day life in this country, and it will probably smite the avaricious purveyors a succession of damaging blows. Aside from the vast display which has been outlined, there are other attractive features controlled principally by private individuals, and which may not be seen except upon payment of an extra fee. ‘These are the side shows. They are not at- tached to the exposition, and were admitted to the grounds only because their presence meant so much more cash for the support of the fair itself; they are not in any way necessary to an understanding of the great work, nor will failure to patronize cause the visitor to feel as though something? really worth looking at had been passed by without scrutimy. To spend forty dollars in admissions to the exposition a man would have to enter the grounds eighty times. | Very few people, not exhibitors or officials, will make that record. ———++2—___. Naval officers generally incline to the belief that the District of Columbia's gift to the eruiser Columbia should take the form of a silver service. Ta Stan suggested a library, because it believed that literature would be more generally beneficial than any other variety of donation, but as the preferences so far as ex- hibited favor such a present as the citizens of San Francisco made the ship which bears the name of their town there is no reason why the officers may not be gratified.

The question of burning local curiosity and interest is whether the exclusion of all but the railroad’s employes from free transportation cuts off the congressional passes.

Mr. Ingalls isn't the man to admit that he needs information on any subject under the sun, or from any person on the face of the earth.
