4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, MAY 29. 1893-TWELVE PAGES. e THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY May 29, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and rermanzent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany other paper in city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medinm it bas ne competitor. Many years will doubtless elapse before the boundaries of this republic will extend to the north and south poles, but there are signs of territorial extension that statesmen will not overlook. James G. Blaine, than whom no one was clearer visioned, was fully convinced that before the twentieth century had reached its majority Canada aud Mexico would be added to | the Union, and that following these annexations | must come the speedy absorption of the na- tionalities north of the Isthmus of Panama. ‘There is a possibility of immediate action tend- ing to the encouragement of such absorption long before the Canadian provinces or the Mexican | republic are united with us, for in troubled ‘Nicaragua there is a loudly expressed desire for the establishment of a protectorate by the United States. Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan | minister to this country, is quoted as favoring such a move, and he will have the support of many progressive Nicaraguans wio are tired of the riotous proceedings which continually dis- turb one or another of the Central American countries. They believe that the presence of a strong government in their midst would put an effectual stop to petty warfare, and they are Probably quite correct. The republic of Nicaragua, with an area of 49,500 square miles, isthe largest of the Central American states. Its population exceeds 325,000, of which 30,000 are uncivilized Indians. Nearly ali the people are Roman Catholics and many are well edu- cated. The revenues are about 24,000,000 and the expenditures have generally exceeded the incomg, tha result being a foreign debt of something more than $1,000,000 and domestic incumbrances to the extent of €1,600,- 000, increased considerably by the strife which still rages. The products of the country are many and valuable. The Bu- reau of American Republics says that in the regions of the southwest coffee is grown in large anantities, the production of 1891 amount- ing to 9,282,156 pounds. Brazil wood is found im abundance in the forests; plantations of sugar, indigo and eacao abound everywhere be- tween the lakes and the Pacific; potatoes and maize thrive in the uplands, while on the east- ern side of the lakes is a great grazing country, supporting thousands of cattle. Dense forests, Tich in rubber, cedar, mahogany and dye- woods, are common, while all the country over there is abundance of plantains, bananas and other tropical fruits. Mining and cattle raising are perhaps the two principal industries. There is but one line of railway in operation, but others are in course of construction. ‘The principal cities aro united by tele- graph and the telephone is in com- mon use. Imports in 1889 amounted to nearly three millions of — dollars, the larger proportion being supplied by Great Britain. The Nicaraguan application for shelter is as yet rather vague in its terms and until it becomes positive will hardly receive much at- tention, but continued disorder and the possi- bility of danger to the canal in which so large an amount of American capital nas been in- vested may be potent in the near future. Noth- ing less than a necessity for protecting life and valuable property and possible national interests fn connection with water communication be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific will cause the Tnited States to practically annex a country shich is separated from usby so much terri- tory as lies between the Rio Grande and the northern limite of Nicaragua, a Baltimore cannot afford to let her boodlums persecute the Hebrews who reside in neighbor- hoods where the toughs seem privileged. Since the days of the “plug-uglies” our sister-city has built up for herself a goodiy repatation and she surely will not permit thuggish brutal- ity or the supineness of a politically-con- trolled police force to stain what, to an outsider, seemed to bea very fair character. ‘That the complaints made are well founded is beyond question and that they have their origin fn racial tyranny cannot be doubted. Last night the Hebrews of East Baltimore held an indigna- tion meeting and in an appeal to the governor of the stateand the mayor of the city said that all they wanted was a chance to live decently. For months, say the petitioners, their wives and daughters have been subjected to insult on the streets, the beards of their old men pulled in public by halfgrown boys, and many other annoying practices indulged in. The statement made in the appeal “that we might as well be in Russia as here in this free country” is, however, ridiculously unfair to this country. Misbehavior in Baltimore is a purely individual affair with which decent people have no sympathy and which the law will surely re- press, but the trouble in Russia is national m its seope, has the support of the government, and involves, it is asserted, the abrogation of contracts, virtual confiscation of property, loss of Hberty and ultimate exile. Conditions in East Baltimore may be annoying, but it mini- mizes the alleged Russian outrages to compare Baltimore with anti-Semitic nssia. —— “The world is ali before him, where to choose.” closing of Dr. Lampe’s address against Dr. Briggs in the Presbyterian general assem- biy today. It represents also the atti- tude of the anti-Briggs men. They think Dr. Briggs should leave the Presbyterian Eden and go elsewhere. What may happen if they compel him to go ing conjecture. Union » have indorsed him, and of the New York Presbytery, which has virtually declared that it sees nothing in his teachings requiring their comfemnation as an ecclesiastical court? How will the hundred and forty-five commissioners of the assembly who by voting not to entertain the appeal, might be regarded as approving the action of the New York presbytery, adjust themselves to the situation? Will they go out into the world with Dr. Briggs or confess their error brethren who nave never even winked at any- thing suspected of being unorthodox? ss The assertion that a political career means neglect of personal interests has been fre-} quently made. but not porulariy accepted. Oc- in a striking manner, as “Secretary Foster. Men must be had to discharge public duties and the American government isa close task master and rather parsimonious so far as substantial re. ard is concerned. If the public cannot rer om- pense its servants for such sacri least appreciate and honor them.

When will merit be the only consideration in connection with the adminis- tration of government business? These ques- tions are being asked quite frequently by those who are weary of the political and unprofitable methods that are even now being operated wherever there is a loop hole in the civil ser- vice rules. It is or should be understood that the routine of departmental conduct is almost entirely in the hands of the various assistant secretaries, thus leaving the chief free to attend to the broader matters of administration and the hearing of appeals. To be a sucessful sec- retary is easily possible to the possessor of an active and well-balanced brain, but to be a use- ful assistant secretary calls for as much mind, and, in addition, for intimate personal acquaintance with the countless minor details of departmental business. This intimacy may onty be acquired through experience, and yet because a republican President is sueceeded by a democratic President, or vice versa, these as- sistant secretaries must also go out, taking with them a vast quantity of information which can- not be imparted to those who go in to fill the foreibly-vacated places. When Congress legis- lated into existence the offices of assistant sec- retary of war and of the navy it was under- ‘stood that ther should not be regarded as po- litical positions and that their incumbents should not be subjected to quadrennial change. The principle is one over which there can hardly be any controversy jand if the democratic convention of 1892 was sincere in its meager reference to civil service reform this administration should— having already made many changes—endeavor to secure the services of men whose eapacity could not be doubted when the next political revolution makes its appearance. Why should the United States—partisan considerations being propegly laid aside—pay many thousands of doliarsfor the training of assistant secre- taries whose services are dispensed with and whose usefulness is lost tothe government vhenever a new majority secures control? ——— ‘The strike question is one which is indeed manifold in its phases, “More pay and shorter hours” is by no means tie sole formula for bringing about affairs of that kind. Glass Dlowers in New Jersey struck because they were not provided with ice water. Some time ago telegraph operators made permission to smoke at their work a condition of resumption of their occupation, and numerous other causes of dissatisfaction are on record to con- firm the impression that the strike is not always the result of genuine oppression and the Inst resort after a long exercise of the virtues of patience and forbearance. eee If, as has been alleged, it would be dangerous for patients going to the contagion hospital to cross an ordinary and comparatively wholesome stream, the risk run by any who migh: have to cross Rock creek is something horrible to contemplate. ———— While deprecating any effort to abridge the ight of free speech on the base ball diamond we deem it no more than proper to call the attention of visiting ball players to the fact that a Washington umpiro yesterday shot an ob- jector. ———_+++___ Dr. Booth’s protest was not needed to con- vince any thoughtful person that Dr. Holli- field's attack on the Protestant Episcopal Church—made in the general assembly—met with no sympathy in that great body. Presby- terianism may be rigid, but it is not intolerant. ——_ +2 —____ One of the unlooked-for results of the great Presbyterian gathering now in session here will be seen as soon as there 15 a vacant Presby- terian pastorate here.
