4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. © TUESDAY, JUNE 20. 1893—TEN PAGES. STAR THE EVENING _ 20, 1893. ¥ditor George T. Pulaski is not a letter-carr the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has so decided. He may engage in any other legal occupation without let or hindrance, but his brief connection with the postal service has come toan end. The case bas excited much more than local interest and the decision is in | many respects important. In August of last year Mr. Pulaski was examined by the Civil Service Commission for admission to the eli bie list as » letter-carrier in the city post office. He passed, but with an average of only 71.43. On January 2% Pulaski, with two other eligibles, was certified to the city postmaster who selected one of the others. On February 20 the postmaster, being in need of a substitute carrier, chose Mr. Pulaski, who at once qualic fied and went to work. But in the meantime— on February 7—ihere had been another ex- amination, and as a result there were added to | the eligible list the names of several persons whose averages were many per cent higher than Pulaski’s. When the commission found out how Pulaski was appointed it demurred and notified the postmaster that it was irregular and must be canceled, which was done. ‘Then Mr. Pulaski requested reinstatement, and both the postmaster and the commission refused. the former because the commission bad in- structed him to, the latter because the original appointment was a violation of its rules and therefore of no effect. Whereupon Mr. Pulaski petitioned for a mandamus which rould compel reinstatement, and it was that petition which the court this morning refused. Mr. Pulaski has had hard iuck and is certainly entitled to sympathy, but, as bas been stated, be cannot carry letters for Uncle Sam. But aside from the personal feature of the case there is in the decision much of general interest for the court declares that “Congress has left in the heads of the departments all the discretionary power that was vested in them prior to the passage of the civil service law or promulgation of the civil service rules,” except that no employe may be removed for political | reasons. —__+ += _—__ Within a few days this country, which is now looking lazily over the top of its spectacles at the outilow of gold, will wake right up and pro- ceed to celebrate the Fourth of July. That will be the day of the toy pistol and the torpedo and the Roman candle and the pin wheel and the small boy. may be trusted to care for himself,and as arule he reports regularly for meals, no matter what may have Lappered in the interim, but when the American boy and the toy pistol become in- timate with each other this country invariably loses a budding citizen whomight in the course of time have become President of the United 3tates or a policeman or an ice-dealer oF sume sther great potentate The most verdant of crab apples, the least ripened of peaches may be and frequently are defied with wonderful suc- cess, but the toy pistol is conqueror and lays low the frames of those who have triumphed over childhood’s ills and who laugh to scorn all other efforts of the allegorical being whose rapid progress is supposed to be due to the fleetness of the pale horse which he bestrides. Buy the boy a suilleiency of fireworks, indulge him to the extent of a balloon or two if necessary, give him the material with which to make the festival arnulti-colored success, but as you dislike to do business with the undertaker see that the boy as no toy pistol. — - +02 —— With no other idea than to clinch its reeord for efliciency Tux Star directs attention to tne work it did yesterday in connection with the findings of the coroner's jary as to the old Ford's Theater disaster. Through Te Stan's first extra the public received the earliest noti- fiation of the jury's decision to hold Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse; the second extra con- firmed the unofficial announcement and gave the first information of the true verdict’s ren- ition; the third extra first gave to the public the text of the verdict and other matter of in- terest in connection with the conclusion of an inquiry in which every citizen was interested. All of this information was accurate—it was the only accurate information on that subject published in this city yesterday evening—and the public appreciates that fact. Taz Stan does not attempt to deceive its patrons with extras that have in them nothing more than the vain imaginings of irresponsibility, and that draw on a defective second-sight and in- accurately anticipate the news of the future; it does not print before 4 o'clock a misleading description of scenes that materialized in other shape an hour later; it does not indulge in “fake” methods, deceiving and disgusting the public, and discrediting local journalism. But it does print the news—the honest, reliable news, and it invariable does that in advance of A-seven-year old boy was killed by a cable- car in New York yesterday. The sacrifice was uanecessary. Had the grip car been equipped with a proper guard the light of a widow's life would not hare gone out in such a horrible | manner. The killing lends to the question why there has been such long Washington's cable-cars with such protecting devices as will prevent the mangling of inno- cent pedestrians? oe ‘The Brigg’s heresy wave has not yet sub- sided. Ministers continue to astonish and Btieve or please their congregations by follow- ing Dr. Brigg’: example. The earnest and unt- versal attention that is given to these controver- sies shows that this end of the nineteenth cen- tury is not so frivolous that it cannot bestow earnest consideration upon topics of this char- acter. ——_ e+ ___ Whatever ground any class of people may think they have for unfriendliness to the World's Fair, they should recognize promptly that it is altogether too big to be boyeotted. +o Even a congress which takes pride in being known as economical cannot fail to perceive the wisdom of providing good buildings with- out waiting for the old ones to full down. —~ oo _—_—__ ‘The Borden mystery has lost little of its mys- | teriousness up to the present time. es From the scented isles of the Pacitie where palm-trees rustle in the odorous breezes, across the “‘hollow-sounting and mysterious main, comes a ery for heip, an appeal to which American manhood may rot turn a deaf ear, am agonizing memorializi patriots’ blood and excites with the spirit of warfare even the sluggish fluid which courses throngh recently-arr and alien arteries. Mr. Charles Nordhotf is seared. Mr. Nordhoff, | it will be remembered, represents the New York Herald at Honoluln and at the m time manages to misrepresent several other things. Ever since Mr. Nordhoff's arrival at the Hawaiian capital and—unless ngures have recently acquired a persistent habit of prevari- eation—for some days before, Mr. Nordhoff has trumpeted aloud his courage in opposing the proposition to annex Hawaii to the United States. In bis rampant and uncontrollable de- sire to say things he made several statements which failed utterly to correspond with facts and strangely enough some of the folks at Hon- olulu denounced them as untrue and right out in meeting as to Mr. Nordhoff's cred~ ulity or prejudice they didn't care a mug of poi which. The unfortunates who were libeled had recourse to legal proceedings, but were stopped by the arbitrary action of Minister- Paramount Blount, who, although expressly instructed to refrain from interference, ordered the law to lie down so that Mr. Nordhotf maght we it as a sidewalk or @ foot sicol or Ordinarily the American boy | delay in equipping | g wail that stirs the | | | anything else that Mr. Nordhoff cared to de- | nominate it. So long as a condition of pro- | tectorate existed with reference to Mr. Nord- | hoff, his protectors being the paramount Georgian and a body-guard of two Kanaka po- | licemen, all was reasonably well, but there sud- denly arose above the salt-water horizon a | cloud. This cloud—large and portentous—was | the probability of Minister Blount's speedy de- | parture for the land of the free and the |home of the brave, and from be- | neath the shadow of that dread happening the hapless Nordhoff—duly supported by the two policemen—tarns his face toward the White House, via the Golden State, and shrieks for help. “It is well-known,” echoes the Herald, “that Mr. Blount went to Honolulu on a special | | mission of exceptional importance, and that having successfully fulfilled that he is desirous of returning home. This he is certainly en- titled to do, but it is vitally important that he should remain at his post until his successor arrives, and also that his successor be a man well fitted for the position.” The republic and | Hawaii can endure the shock of separation be- tween Blount and Hawaii, but it is it appears of | vital importance to Nordhoff that Blount, his protector, should not desert him. Why should Blount acd Nordhoff be parted? Let them re- turn together from Hawaii to America hand in hand, and the blessings of everybody will be showered upon them. —_++—__ | Careless people who have taken to breaking | the law asa business will do well to be warned | | of the fate that awaits them if they offend in Ohio. Some time ago the Buckeye legislature came to the conclusion that when a man or woman was convicted three times of a penal | offense the third sentence should be for life.

He appealed to the Supreme Court of the State alleging unconsti- tutionality of the law under which he was sen- tenced but the court upheld the statute, so | David will, unless pardoned, be a resident of Columbus until he does not need any residence. oe | Senator Butler of South Carolina dec‘ares that he has no intention of asking Mr. Cleve- lang to appoint anybody to sny place.

There is nodoubt that this conception of senatorial duty will meet with the President's entire approval It is true the announcement did not comeas early as it might have come, but it is a graceful and sensible declaration none the less. The ques- | tion of whether it springs from a condition or a theory is one that has nothing to do with the case. —_ + + + ___ With characteristic generosity Mr. George W.

If it be desirable in any case to commend citizens who do their whole duty by the com- munity then commendation should be freely dispensed to the members of the coroner's jury who concluded an arduous and important task when they found a verdict as to the responsibil - ity for the old Ford's Theater disaster.
