4 =< THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MAY 12. 1898—TEN PAGES. NG NGTON 2 May 12, 1803. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has 2 regular asd permanent circulation in Washington three other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- Yertising Medium it bas no competitor. No reform would be more gladly welcomed by the groat non-office-seeking mass of the people in this country than that which could be #0 operated as to bring about congressional in- activity in the matter of patronage. No coun- ‘try that has control of itself suffers more be- cause of foolish and ineffective legislation than does this ordinarily businesslike fragment of the globe. Every year there assembles in this city a national Congress, elected ostensibly to make such laws as will result in the greatest good to the greatest number, but whose time is largely devoted to efforts to secure for in- fluential or persistent constituents profitable or otherwise desirable places in the govern- ment service. The result of this misplaced energy is seen in the work accomplished by Congress. A few men are depended upon to see that partisan measures are correctly framed, but the pressure of overwork is often too much for fallible hamanity and half-digested legisla- tuon follows. Some senators and representa- tives are content with present conditions and that they are so is due to the fact they are by nature and association spoilsmen, entirely unfit for legislative duties, elected because of their ability to secure positions and salaries for hungry strikers. Such as these could never achieve places in the halls of Congress were public business conducted on business principles, their usefulness would depart as soon as the civil service rules were extended so as to in- clude every government employe. When that highly-desirable condition is brought about— and there is some possibility of its coming before President Cleveland's term expires— the people will send men to the Union's legis- lature who are mentally capable and whose wise and uninterrupted Jeliberations could hardly result in anything but rapid national advance- ment and great general good. In some quar- ters it is argued that a more desirable state of affairs could be created by a agreement be- tween the President and his cabinet officers not to recognize Congresamen who recommended or solicited appointments, but to call upon Congressmen when necessary to come up and give their opinions as to the merits or demerits of candidates from their districts, That would be an unsatisfactory makeshift. Only in an all-protecting extension of the civil service rules can the true remedy be found. ~~ — ‘Washingtonians who could uot visit cither Old Point Comfort or New York while the in- ternational fleets were at those places will doubtless be pleased to learn that « fair repre- sentation of modern naval force will be dis- played at Annapolis during the present month. ‘Three Russian ships of war are under orders to Proceed to Annapolis Roads and it is quite probable that three others which could not get ere in time for the grand review will arrive in season, and as one of these latter is a battle-<hip of more than ten thousand tons there will be much to see at Annapolis that was not vouch- safed visitors to Hampton Roads or New York. ition to these six splendid specimens of ian naval architecture there will be fighting ships zor Italy, the Argentine Republic, and, perhaps, Holland—all @corted by several of the white-bulled beauties of which the United States is so proud. The probabilities are that more than adozen of the floating bat- teries will be assembled in the Chesapeake, #0 that the folks in this vicinity who have never seen a first-class modern man-of-war will have all the opportunity they need. It would not be out of place for Washington to proffer public hospitality to the officers and men of the squad- rons that come in response to an invitation which was discouraged by our own naval au- thorities. A good dinner is always in order. see Of all the men and women who have devoted themselves to the education and uplifting of the negro and Indian races but few, if any. have been more successful than was Gen. S.C. Armstrong, who died yesterday leaving behind him as a monument the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institate. After serving the union most acceptably during the war of the re- bellion—part of the time as colonel of two negro regiments—he was placed in charge of ‘that district of the Freedman’s Bureau which included Hampton and the region roundabout. Out of the “contraband” camp and Mary Re Peake’s school for colored children the general evolved the Hampton Insti- tute. From the beginning he was its principal and its most enthusiastic sup- potter. Aided by Gen. 0. O. Howard and others who were interested in the Freedmen’s Burean he secured the necessaty funds and put in motion a force which will always be potent for good. His bravery as a warrior brought him the brigadier-general’s star, but that dis- tinction is small when compared with the hon- ors consequent upon his unceasing endeavor to be a help unto the helpless. Others will take up the duties he yesterday laid down and the work will go on in the channels he planned, but it will be long before new faces erase from the memories of benefited thousands the smiling Visage of the soldier-philanthropist, a w York, cable railway is and there will be much inter- est in noting whether it will develop the ball characteristics that are so common in its k There is every reason to believe that New York's immense and rapidly moving population will not take kindly to the idea of being brought to frequent and unexpected standstills. about half way between their homes and their places of business. All the wishes with reference to the Broadway cable will, of course, be of the very best; but they will necessarily have a tinge of apprehension. —+-o-.__ The gentlemen engaged in discussing the Bering sea question should remember that they are anarbitration committee—not achurch eboir. ee The word * hag assumed a very con- Spicuous place in the bright lexicon of western banking. +e ‘The Washington nine bas been giving the base ball critics a great deal of retracting to do. Ss “Peace is the happy, natural state of man,’ sang Thomson, but Mr. Thomson was not on terms of intimacy with Senator Jobn T. Mor- gan of Alabama, or he would have vocalized after another fashion.

Great Britain contends te the , and this contention resulted greement tosubmit the questi tration. For some time past the court tration has been in session came near to sudden adjournment. Sir Charles + the lexd- gtound that tes bad property in the seals, by Sena: This state- == warm-blooded being, and he was never more so than when he was interrupted by the Sena- tor. He said many sharp things and received quite as many in return. There was contagion in the Senator's warlike attitude, and before the court was fairly aware of it Mr. E. J. Phelps and Justice Harlan proceeded to assist the Sen- ator in jumping onthe metaphorically prostrate form of England's biggest barrister. That brought Lord Hannen—one of Her Majesty's arbitrators—into the scrimmage, and fora time there was exceeding bitterness, which was not moilified to any extent by the declination of | Senator Morgan and Mr. Phelps to guarantee | that the United States would pay damages for seizures even if the tribunal decided against them,a conclusion which probably justified Lord Hannen’s remark that the attempt at arbitration was therefore useless. It may be that good will result from the wordy battle; that Sir Charles will feel compelled to speak only that which is true, preferring rather to have his oratory circumscribed by facts than toagain break a lance on the shield of him whose knowledge of foreign affairs is prob- ably more comprehensive than that of any othee American. That anger should have found a place in the proceedings of the court is to be deplored, and. if it remains there, all ef- forts at arbitration are likely to fail, for reason and passion cannot both exist beneath one roof, but it does seem as though some demonstration was necessary to show the error-advancing counsel for Great Britain that the United States would not be imposed upon. Some one who has seen and heard the Senator when for sev- eral consecutive days he was engaged in brief discussion of a great topic should take Sir Charles aside and warn him of the dangers closely attendant upon monkeying with such a phenomenally rapid and vicious controversial buzz-saw. Among the numerous statements now being attributed to Sir Edwin Arnold is one to the ef- fect that if he were at liberty to choose his sex and country he would be an American woman. This weuld indicate that Sir Edwin has an ex- aggerated impression of the extent to which American women go in for poetry and politics. ——+ee Writers are making reference to the fact that Emperor William is deficient in his bump of discretion. It would be a permissible bull to observe that the emperor's bump of discretion is a depression. +o A.
