4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY. MAY 13. 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY........... ..........May 13, 1893. CROSBY 8. NOYES. Editer. THE EVENING STAR basa regular and vermasent circulation in Washington three times larger than that ofany other paper in the city. As = local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium It bas ne competitor. ES It fs rather surprising to find here and there ® presumably level-headed American who says he does not believe he cares to visit the world’s fair. Of course and unfortunately there are ‘those who by reason of inadequate finances stored rich treasures which will more than re- pay the time, money and energy expended in reaching and viewing them. But it is trifle Some of the exhibits are not in enjoy elsewhere, it is just as well to wait three or four weeks longer before starting for and with promise of greater comfort than is possible at this stage of the proceedings. But when you do go deal justly with yourself and with the exposition and the city which it glori- fies. Do not imagine that the pilgrimage is wholly s pleasure trip, for it cannot be. It is really a duty which you owe to yourself and the country. You must expect to be annoyed, others. Should you be careless as to your per- sonal property you will probably lose some of it just as you would at home, and if you are a suf- ferer because you lacked caution do not blame ‘any one but yourself and the general depravity of human nature. If you have never before ‘visited Chicago you will see much that is sur- prising and wonderful outside the exposition grounds; you will have hourly oppor- tunity to feel the western pulse, and unless you are savagely prejudiced and woefully hidebound you will bring with you when you return new ideas worth having and an increased Dusiness vigor. Perhaps the railroads do not offer such inducements as were expected of them, and there may be a tendency on the part of some Chicagoans to make bay while the sun shines, but you should not permit such small matters to interfere. You may have to deny yourself a few luxuries for awhile and in many instances go short on pocket money for a year, but the sacrifice will be none too great; Compensation is a certainty. Everybody that ean do so ought to visit Chicago at least once before the World’s Columbian Zxposition closes. It is not strang™bat republican newspapers are inclined to resent the bulletins issued by the Post Office Department for the purpose of showing how few changes have been made in the post offices and how many occurred during similar periods when President Harrison occu- pied the Executive Mansion. That is one of ‘the things expected of republican newspapers when the demceracy has governmental control, and vice verva. Bat it is not usual for a parti- san journal to use civil service reform argu- ments in thumping its adversary. The Balti- more American does it though, and if it will only favor reform when ita doctrines are once more enthroned in the White House and at the Capitol the country will have something to be thankfal for. Discussing the official procedure as to bulletin publication the American says that it is “eather right or wrong in the eyes of a con- sistent civil service reformer to be turning out these little cross-roads postmasters and putting others in their places. With the vast majority there is, perhaps, no principle involved, and it has been customary from time immemorial to tarn them out: but if itis wrong from the point of view of civil service reform, and the admin- istration stands for that reform, it is just as monstrous to turn out a hundred per day as it is to turn out two or three hundred per day, and the excuse put forward in one of the bul- Ietins that the majority of them resigned is iwingenuous and unworthy of the govern- ment.” Some of these days there will come to the Presidency a man possessed of such righteous courage as there iseven now a demand for, and then this picayune political foolishness which plays with public business is going to stop. And that President will be the biggest figure in the history of the United States. oe The issues which may be tried at this meet- ing make the Presbyterian General Assembly, which is to begin its session here next Thurs- ay, one of the most important church con- gresses ever convened many land. The infiu- ence of its action will probably be felt far beyond the confines of the Presbyterian Church, for some of the questions touch on matters which are not peculiar to that church. Today Tur Sram gives up much space to an account of the arrangements for the meeting, as well as expositions of both sides of the controversy which was raised by the famous inaugural address of Prof. Briggs of the Union Theological Seminary. Taz Star ‘will publish full reports of the proceedings of the body, and will endeavor to present fairly and impartially all sides of the important ques- tions which it is to discuss, ——————— Now that interest has been very generally ‘aroused in the proposition to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol there should be im- mediate activity in disposing of those prelimi- naries which comprise the greater proportion of the work. Prior to such action the organiza- tion on which the responsibility is to rest should beso broadened as to include every section of the District. In the doing of this Ro time should be lost. The iron is now reason- ably hot and the time to strike it is near at hand. —__~e2—___ A number of people have been making it ‘warm for the weather bureau and that institu- tion is evidently preparing for a resolute but indiscriminate effort to reciprocate. +22 An anxious subscriber is informed that the ogeatcbers have, unfortunately, no jurisdic tion over the tagiess men who go around sing- ing “Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow.”” ———— Congress has adjourned, but the six compe nies are still in session. es Unless all the signs fail Europe seems bound to suffer much before the twentieth century commences to be. Never within the history of ‘the past two hundred years has there been such general discontent nor so many weak places in the governmental crust, which is now doing its utmost to conceal and control the superheated and rapidly expanding influences that threaten to burst forth and either materially alter or completely annihilate present conditions, ‘The causes which have brought the many distarbing influences are varied and, in some instances, vague, but their effects are far from impalpable or invisible. Republican France lives in daily dread of a Bourbon out- break and a monarchy, while imperial Ger- many shudders at the possibility of republican doctrines attaining supremacy. Great Britain is as a house divided against itself on the sub- fect of home rule for Ireland and Ireland i @ similarly spiit-up frame of mind. In gium the plebeian toilers have overriden their | pleasing to look upon and just as difficult to | matter and with the power thus gained will compel radical changes in the methods of gov- ernment. There is open revolt in Spain and quiet may not be restored by promises, for the Spanish people have tired of them. Sweden and Norway are no longer one in spirit, for the Norwegians, failing to secure the rights guar- anteed them by the agreement which in the beginning bound the two nations together, now Propose to remove from their flag the Swedish emblems—a something that will almost surely result cither in strife and Swedish conquest or in total separation. The throne of Greece is im peril and so are the arm-chairs in which other minor rulers of petty principalities sit when cecasions of state require such seden- tary occupation. It may easily be that the map of Europe within the remaining seven years of this century willundergo much forcible alteration. ——_+ +2 ____ When light can be made from air there will bean end of trouble with the gasmaking and electricity-producing corporations, unless these financial powers should pool their wealth and purchase a controlling interest in the machinery by which such illumination is to be produced. Some time ago Prof. Nicola Tesla, an electrical genius, demonstrated the possibility of obtain- ing a faint light froma vibrating current of air. Cold-blooded scientists, men who could not be enthusiasts if they wanted to, were im- pressed with the testimony made plain before their own eyes, and they then predicted that in alittle while one of the greatest of nature's secrets would be wrested from her and that a light almost precisely like daylight would be produced without the agency of lamps, gas burners or carbon. This production | 8. of light without heat will, if it is accomplished, bes tremendous discovery. That it may be almost here seems highly probable from the ‘additional information gathered by Prof. Pupin of Columbia College, who has shown how to create the electric waves that are deemed essen- tial, and in doing this he opened up another wide field for investigation and experiment by discovering how to produce by electricity vibra- tive waves that are precisely similar to the sound waves consequent upon the playing of musical instruments. Practical beings who have given time and intellect to discussion of these newly developed and altogether marvel- ous discoveries are firmly convinced that the night is not far distant when artificial daylight will succeed present illuminants and at cost incomparably less than that of methods now in vogue, ——_ ++ __ Discontented inventors of magazine rifles are once more doing the best they know how to advance their own interests, and, as a mere inci- dent, seem willing to destroy the reputation of one, two, or, if necessary, a score of army officers, provided such means will only bring about the ends they seek. Not content with securing the removal of two members of the board charged with the important duty of testing the guns submitted, an inventor with = supposed griev- ance now insists that the Secretary of War re- lieve from all duty in connection with the board one of the most capable officers in the entire army—Capt. 8. E. Blunt. Charges of certain sort have been preferred. but it cannot be that they will receive serious consideration by the War Department. As an authorty upon the modern small-arm Capt. Blunt is as near supreme as any other man on this continent, and in the matter of that closely conscientious honesty which is the pride of all true citizens Capt. Blunt has no su- perior. If the Department has started out to remove every officer whose removal is demanded by inventors whonaturally imagine that the work of their brains is superior to that of everyone else it had better stop at once and compromise with the irate mechanicians by giving each one 8 whole board to himself. Of course there would be failure toreacha conclusion, but every inven- tor would have the satisfaction of knowing that bis gun had been recommended for adoption, and that is what the malcontents are after. It is better that they be humored in this way than that they should be permitted to use the gov- ernment’s power for the purpose of disgracing officers of whose honor the nation is proud. padseueninomess actin cts The governor of a southern state who for some reason or other did not care to reveal his identity was recently quoted in » Richmond paper as saying that it would be better for the south to have southern men appointed United States consuls in England, Ger- many and Austria than to have a representative in the cabinet, Such geo- graphical selfishness hasno reason for existence. Misrepresentations abroad if there has ever been any, has been a comparatively feeble bar- rier; the real difficulty has been at home. If a few more such men as Judge J. B. Chrisman of Mississippi were scattered through the regions where Judge Lynch has reigned so long the immigrative flood would soon start in the de- sired direction. Judge Chrisman, in the face of personal danger of the most explosive sort, up- held the law and dealt Mississippi Whitecaps a biow from which recovery is impossible. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange has: presented the judge with a gavel of ebony and gold, and in the address which accompanied the testt- monial were these words: “We feel that with the aid of such men as you we can guarantee to all who ask homes in the rich and prosperous counties and parishes of the south as full pro- tection as can be had anywhere on the face of the globe.” ————_ +0 + ___ Louis Kossuth, the venerable Hungarian patriot, has lived ninety-one years without ever having suffered the accusation of being » humorist, but he ran the risk a day or so ago when he deciared it highly probable that Ire- land might ere long become a political portion of the United States, that all relations with England would probably be severed. The day may come when that prophesy shall be literally fulfilled, but the newspapers will have many interesting events to chronicle before such an end can be reached. When the malo residents of the State of Irelend cast their first votes for President of the United States the map of Europe will be utterly unlike any of its pictures as seen in the geograpbies of today. ———— ‘The relationships of time and money are again called to attention by simultaneous dis- coveries of the departure of Land and River Improvement trust funds, and Mr. Francis H. | Weeks, ——_—_—_+oo_____ Chicago's presence of mind never She now declares that the extortions which are carried on in connection with the fair are per- petrated by outsiders. ——__s+s While much kind appreciation will be fait for Paderewski in his absence, there will still linger the impression that he was piano ad- vertisement with a display head, ee ae It is thought that a number of Georgians who feared that official duties would cause them to miss the watermelon season will not be disap- pointed after all. —___++2_____ Mr. Cleveland is at present engaged in eulti- vating an interesting variety of the executive session at the White House. —_+ 0 ___ It is hoped that Spain is not allowing herself to be misled by the example of the South Acierican countries, er ‘The man whose pride was that be had a “soft thing” with the U.S. government has disap- peared from the face of the earth. —— The Age of Surprises.

Rosecrans as regis ter of the Treasury will take a familiar signa ture from subsequent issues of United States paper money, but the new bills will be just as Wetwicun oppressors in a most important | keep in the pocket.— Providence Journal. THE WEEK. This has been » sad week for the average office seeker, President Cleveland’s order shut- ting him out of the White House having gone into effect on Monday. No attempt has been made to upset the presidential decision, but another exclusive messure—the Geary anti- Chinese act—has been fought in the Supreme Court. One important vacancy was created in the departmental service by the voluntary ignation of Gen. W. 8. Rosecrans, register of the treasury. Several other changes in the Department have not been voluntary. Many men who think office a desirable thing, but who do not expect to achieve it under thi ministration, met in Louisville as delegates to the National League of Republican Clubs. and, after freely criticising Mr. Cleveland and his party, elected W. W. Tracy of Illinois presi- dent of the organization. The majority of the world’s fair management still keeps up its fight for Sunday opening of the exposition and may toa certain extent be successful. _Ex-Repro- sentative Blount of Georgia, President Cleve- iand’s special envoy to Hawaii, has been made minister of that disturbed community, United States Minister Stevens declining to remain at Honolulu for the purpose of playing second violin to the envoy. Cyclonic outbursts have been less frequent than for some time past, the only two of importance being in Texas and Arkansas, Carlyle Harris, convicted of wife murder, expiated his crime in the death chair at Sing Sing, while several other criminals in various parts of the country were removed by the speedy of lynch law; in consequence of this tendency for hasty execution some negroes of the south are planning to move to what they consider more desirable neighborhoods, California being ‘mentioned with favor. ‘The necrological record includes Col. Ward Lamon, President Lincoln's intimate friend; Joseph Francis, inventor of the life-saving car; Gen. C. Armstrong, founder and superintendent of the Hampton Normal School, and Gen. E. D. Townsend, ex-adjatant of the United States army. IN OTHER COUNTRIES. Germany is, so far as public interest is con- cerned, the focal foreign point. The army bill was rejected by the reichstag and as a retalia- tory measure the emperor at once adjourned that body. He followed up this action b; claring that he would not rest until the bill be- camelaw. France bas followed theanti-Chinese example of the United States, but in a much broader sense, for the French chamber of deputies has passed a bill requiting all for- eigners to register; it rejected a proposition to tax the aliens. Ambassador Eustis presented his credentials to President Carnot and has spent most of his spare timo since then listen- ing to the arguments in the Bering sea arbi- tration case, which, 6) during the last day or so, have extremely in- teresting. Home rule for Ireland is moving as rapidly as Gladstone can push at, the Irish members being requested by the liberal leader to offer as few amendments as possible. Labor demonstrations still continue to disturb two or three of the large English cities. The Earl of Aberdcen has been aj Pointed governor general of Canada. In Spain political difficulties have been combined with dynamite and there is promise of real trouble in the near future. One of Spain’s early poe- seasions—now the republic of Nicaragua— is stirred with a real revolution, and from latest advices Tevo- lutionists seem to be on top. The severe drouth in Austria and Hungary, which has caused much suffering, was broken by heavy rains, and there is still probability of reasonably good crops this year.

The Sanitary shows vigorous life, lectures having been delivered under its auspices by Dr. Ames and Dr. 8.8. Adams.

There once was a patriot colonel Whose pleus for a place were diolonel. When he found that the door Would be opened no more, His feelings were something infolone. He read the letter twice, and then said: “This is one of the most moving pieces of literature I ever saw.” “Is it an appeal for aid?” asked his wife. “No. It's a note from the landlord saying he has raised the rent.” ‘ ‘THE OCULIST. “Tm slow to anger,” he exclaimed; “And yet, I'd have it understood, When there are charges to be named T'm always in an eye-rate mood.” A Washington youngster has succeeded in adding to the already numerous phrases that are used to emphasize an impression of slow- ness. He was waiting for his sister to finish something on which she was engaged. After a time his patience was exhausted and he ex- claimed: “Won't you please hurry up. You are slower than « snail with the rheumatism!” THEY SUFYER BY COMPARISON. “Well,” said the Chicago man to the world’s fair visitor, ‘what do you think of our city?” “It's a fine place. “Don't you think our buildings are pretty high?” “Well, I might have thought they were high if I hadn't gotten here in time to meet some of the Columbian prices at their best.” SUMMER STRAWS.
