THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, MAY 17. 1893—TEN PAGES. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. May 17, 1893. (ROSEY 8. No¥ .Editer. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that ofany other paper in the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has no competitor. The latest of the many reports concerning Secretary Carlisle as a spoilsman and official executioner alleges that he has a black list, marked for dismissal, of clerks who have failed to go home to vote. Failure to vote is the alleged sole ground of dismisal, and not partisan leanings or inefficiency. ‘The republican clerk ia, it is said, to be dis- missed because he did not go home to vote the republican ticket, just as the democrat is to be ejected for not going home to vote the demo- erat ticket. “Secretary Carlisle,” it is said, “respects a republican or a democrat, but he has no use for aman who claims no allegiance to either party.” It is impossible that this report can be true. Secretary Carlisle must have a wicked partner, a sort of Mr. Hyde double, to be credited so frequently with acts and intentions which be must deny. The administration of which Secretary Carlisle is a fractional component is com- mitted to the wise principle that the bulk of Uncle Sam's work is to be done by those available who aro best fitted for it, that Uncle Sam is as much en- titled as a private individual to get tion nor would it have been objected to by any the Six Companies issued a manifesto calling upon their serfs to refrain from registering. This action the companiesendeavored to justify by alleging their belief that the Geary act was unconstitutional. But the Supreme Court has declared otherwise and that decision brought up the question of deportation. Under the terms of the act no Chinaman could register after May 5, and it is therefore the daty of this government to ship back to the Flowery Land more than one hundred thousand of those who chose to be guided by the mandate of the Six Companies rather than by the law of the United States. This would doubtless be done at once had Congress appropriated a sum of money sufficient for the purpose, but Con- gr@ss did not anticipate wholesale resistance, in fact it believed that the registration would generally be acceptable, and with this conclu- sion in its mind there was no great financial Preparation for an exodus. It may be that deportation, with its international friction and other attendant evils can be averted and that the foolishly advised Chinamen will, on being given another chance, register in accordance with law, butif Congress decides to abide by its action and appropriates the six millions of dol- lars which deportation will cost the departing Celestials will only have themselves to blame for the evictive procedure. yy-six years old to- day, and set seems #® be more vigorous and youthful than at any previous period of its his- tory. That the Sun is a good newspaper should be evident to any one who reads it, and that it will never be anything less is certain so long as it is conducted on the principles which have the most effective labor for his money, and that merit and efficiency, displacing partisan and political considerations as the test of office holding. accomplish the best results both for the government and for the employes. In accordance with the spirit and policy of the administration of which he is a part Secre- tary Carlislais employed by Uncle Sam on ac- count of special fitness, to attend to the nation’s financial concerns. His subordi- nates, especially those in the classified service, are in theory to be tested by the same requirement of fitness. In the view of the merit system, which is the law, it is none of the Secretary's business what the political opin- ions of « clerk in the classified service may be, or how inactive he may have been in political affairs. The clerks are protected by the criminal law against compulsory politi- cal assessments. It is in violation of the spirit of this law to make compulsory on threat of dismivsal an annual exodus of clerks for voting purposes, which would demoralize the working force of the government, impair the efiiciency of the public service and inevitably inject into office holding partisan and political considerations. Every American eitizen entitled to the priv- ilege ought to vote, and ought to be encour- aged to vote. The legislation of some of the states tending toward the disfranchise- ment of office-holding citizens at Washington is to be vigorously condemned. Bat neither the fact of voting nor the fact of voting ina particular way is a wise test of fitness todo work for the government. ——— ee _ Following so closely after the presidential declaration of independence as to office-seekers the decision of the Supreme Court on the con- stitutionality of the Geary Anti-Chinese law is indeed a terrific blow at those young men who had come to the conclusion that they were prominent and that their active efforts in be- half of demoeratic prevalence entitled them to consular positions in the Flowery Land. With peculiar force does the situation hit those anxious ones who buta little while ago were enthusiastic advocates of anything that prom- ised to discomfit the Chinaman; over the minds of such has just dawned the idea that, in an in- direct way, they have possibly worked them- selves out of what might have been lucrative employment. None know so well as the “hot and hungry” ones who haunt the departments fr@m day to day how scarce good offices are, and when they realize that their campaign against the Celestial has perhaps deprived them of op- portunities to achieve salaries at Che Foo, New wang, Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Canton, to say nothing of Tamsui, Keelung, Tien-Tsin, Foo-Chow, Chin Kiang, Swatow, Takao, Ningpo, Hankow, Taiwanfoo and other delight- fully-designated centers of pigtailed-popula- tion, their grief must be distressing. And an ‘unsympathetic world langhs when these juve- nile politicians plead that they didn’t know that the Geary bill was loaded. ee Grade-crossing slaughter would be unknown in this city if a majority of the Senators and Representatives who legislate for this city could only enjoy such an experience as recently befell ‘Mr. Thomas Carey of Chicago. Mr. Carey is an allerman, and when Chicago’s city council was wrestling with the grade-crossing problem he opposed the proposition to elevate the tracks. That aroused the voters in Alderman Carey's ward, and so heavy was the pressure that he at last voted in favor of the ordinance: which sends the Toads up to a safe height above street surfaces. Bat the alderman was convinced against his will and down in his heart was loyal to the grade crossing until last Friday evening, when he and a friend were out driving. Then an en- gine smashed the vebicle into matchwood and scattered the alderman and his friend all over the street. The conversion of Saul of Tarsus was not more speedy than that of Alderman Carey. —_+ ++ —____ It would of course be inhospitable and impoli- ‘the to make the world’s fair the occasion of any direct complaint to our guests. But while the the foreign visitors are here it is hoped that | ‘they will take a few observations in connection with the anarchists, the mafia, the six compan- aes and other organizations of that class, and see whether they can avoid the conclusion that this country is extremely good natured. a Once more and expensively has it been dem- onstrated that the place for all electric wires is underground. There was a fire in Baltimore yesterday that will cost the insurance com- panies $100,000. The damage might not have been one-tenth of that amount had the net- work of dangerous wires which interfered with the fire department been buried beneath the sidewalks. ——__++e—___ ‘The Chinese will hardly neglect to burn a large number of joss sticks in honor of Mr. Holman, whose economical spirit prevented the Sppropriation of suflicient cash to put the Geary law in complete working order. ee Strangely enongh, after all the debating which has been done over our Chinese troubles there are evidently a great many America: do not seem to have anything like a rea- sonable comprehension of the primary pur- Poses of the Geary ww.
