4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, «----.September 21, 1893- Editor. WHE EVENING STAR bas = regular and permanent circulation in Washington three thmes larger than that of any other paper in the city. As = leeal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competiter. ———— The nature of the claims to be adjudi- tated by the Court of Departmental Appeals contemplated by the bill introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. Morgan has not been very clearly defined. Any means pro- posed for expediting the payment by the government of its just debts is lkely to receive support, but there 1s question whether the best way of accomplishing that desirable object ts to multiply the courts and add complications to the machinery of the government. Where the payment of claims is delayed in executive departments by reason of lack of force to dispose of current business the remedy fs plain. If the Public business is hindered by neglect, means can be taken to secure a more falth- ful discharge of their duties by public ser- vants. Already in the departments there ts provided a course of appeals, through which claimants can go from chiefs of divisions up to the heads of the departments. The necessity Impiled in the bill for some means of disposing more rapidly of matters before the Departments may be used as an effect- ive argument against the reductions made from time to time in the numbers of De- partment employes, or In the estimates sub- mitted by the Department chiefs. It ought to be considered also whether there is need for an independent court to do the work proposed for the Court of Departmental Appeals. The same result might be reached by extending the jurisdiction of one of the existing courts, Increasing the number of judges if necessary. The discussion of Senator Morgan's bill will probably result im good, as some measure is likely to come out of it, which will accomplish in the best way the ends sought. ——— + +2 __ Maj. Moore's appeal tg Congress for an appropriation to make effective the law re- lating to police pensions is supported by many considerations of justice and equity. No class of public servants are more enti- tled to have some provision made for their Support in case of retizement from active service by reason of disability than the po- licemen and the firemen. Aside from the dangers to life and limb to which they are constantly subjected, many years of service and experience leave them generally with broken health and worn out bodies,tncapact- tating them for other employment. Con- gress has by law required the deduction of one dollar a month from the salary of every policeman to go to the pension fund and every policeman, who has been thus taxed, bas an equitable claim on the government for a pension in case of his retirement for disability incurred in the service. The pen- son fund Is now about exhausted. ——_ +02 The representations made by the coal men in behalf of the tariff on bituminous coal present a new question for consideration. Protection is not asked because the coal cannot be produced as cheaply at the mines here, as in Nova Scotia or elsewhere. It is urged because the cost of transportation to the seaboard is much greater than the cost of transporting coal by sea from for- eign ports to our sea coast cities. Coal mined at the same cost in Nova Scotia, for in- stance, can be laid down in New York at a price less than that of the coal produced in this country. It has been argued by free trad- ers ever since the days of Adam Smith, that the natural barriers between countries, the seas and the mountains, ard the expense of transportation across them, offered all the Protection that a country’s productions should have. The -representations of the coal men put @ new phase on the question, and may add interest to the proceedings of debating societies that take up the fa- millar old subject this winter. — ‘The troops of the imperial German army engaged in the mimic war now raging around Guens have had to experience one of the hardships of real war, and nat is hunger. Splendid cavalry charges and swift changes of front mean a good deal, but one of the essential things to effective cam- paigning Is a well-managed commissary de- partment. The success of Gen. Wolseiey’s Red river operations, as well as his bril- Mant African campaigns, were due as mich to the care he bestoyed upon the commis- Sary as to the fine discipline and soldieriy qualities of his men. A hungry army is not in its best fighting condition. Instead of giving so much attention to field maneu- vers the German war lord might proilt by exercising his wagon trains and determin- ing to a nicety just how long it takes to get @ certain quantity of bacon and hardtack from one point to another. —— Competition in yacht designing, stimu- lated by tne contests for the America cup, has in past years produced practical results aside from affording an infinite amount of satisfaction to a very large part of the nation, infected by the sportsman spirit. Many advances {a marine architecture are attributable to the studies and experiments of men whose immediate object was to pro- duce a record breaking yacht. The Navy Department now is watching the Vigilant - With interest, as it Is believed her perform- ances will afford a good test of the effic- tency of bronze sheathing for hulls of ves- sels. It may be that the Vigilant will cause something of a revolution in naval architecture. In that event the whole world will derive benefit from the money expended by her owner on the yacht. —_—_ +2 —___. No manifesto has been tssued against the House of Lords for two or three days and there is no reason to believe that that body will not continue in existence for some time. It is hard for an American to under- stand how the English people can patiently stand a reversal of the acts of their chosen representatives by a body of hereditary legislators, but brief contact with a typi- cal Englishman, who has all the English prejudices well developed, will throw some Ught on the subject. Among the English peers are those whose names suggest the most glorious achievements in English his- tory. The average Englishman has inher- ited a profound reverence for the House of Lords, and the sentiment {s so strong that nothing short of absolute folly on the part of the peers is apt to cause their Jowndall. ——_+e-—___. Now it appears from the somewhat con- fused reports from Brazil that Admiral Mel- Jo, commanding the insurgent fleet, is going to bombard Rio in real earnest. In conse- quence of bis proclamation to that effect, the residents of Rio are preparing to with- @raw into the interior. The bombardments heretofore announced have been, {t seems, mere harmless rehearsals of the real bom- bardment. The ultimatum of the fierce ad- miral appears to have been much more ef- fective than the fire of his rifled guns in causing an evacuation of the city. It may be that the remainder of the war will be carried on entirely by proctamation, and thus save wear and tear on the guns. —— Rio de Janetro is not so iconoclastic as to undertake having trouble without the pres- ence of a few British war ships. ——_~++-o— It ts said that Mr. Van Alen has been ap- Dointed first ambassador of theUnited States to Italy because he is rick. The appoint- ment was not intended as a mark of favor to riches, Mut was made because no poor man could maintain himself tn the place without embarrassment. In other words the expenditures, required to properly main- tain the dignity of the office in Home, far exceed the salary of $12,000 a year attached to the office. This is dme in part to the fact, that Mr. William Watdort Astor, when minister to Rome, enterta:ned with a lavish hand. Complaint is made by those who have served as winisters at other Euro- pean capitais, where they did not suffer by having to stand comparison with Mr. Astor, ! THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1893. to meet the demands made upon fhem. So the situation may afford some justification for selecting rich men for these offices. But the more rich men appointed, the harder it will be for a poor man to get along in such ‘an office, however much the country may need his services. It is not at all likely that an American Congress will ever increase the salaries of ambassadors to an amount that will enable the recipients to rival the display made by representatives of the im- perlal courts of Europe. This raises the question whether it would not be well to encourage a simplicity on the part of Amer- {ean ambassadors in keeping with the dem- ocratic institutions they represent. Some- thing lke that must be done or else a sign must be put up on all these places: Poor man need apply. + ___ The reign of terror reported as existing in Jefferson parish, Louisiana, on account of the preparations made to put to death a negro murderer when caught, and the do- ings of the lynching mob that was pluckily repulsed from the Roanoke jail, make it doubtful whether any one will boast very loudly, until these events are forgotten, of American civilization. When mob law is substituted for the law of the land, even if the punishment inflicted is justly de- served, a great wrong is done. When in- telligent and influential men take part in Such proceedings, they encourage a disre- gard for law and order, and the effect is most pernicious. Such modes of punish- ment as those meted out by mobs are bru- talizing, and have anything but a whole- some effect on the law-breaking class. ———_+ 0 There was a very general protest in the Parliament of Religions yesterday when Alexander Russelt Webb, the American Islamite, undertook to defend polygamy, urider certain conditions, and when practis- ed in proper spirit. Americans are provably | the most tolerant people in the world, but they are likewise the most chivalric, and no American audience can listen with patience to a defense of a system that debases wo- manhood and tends to produce such social conditions as exist in Mohammedan coun- tries. —_+ ++ ____ ‘The thoroughfares of Rio de Janeiro are 80 narrow that people can lean out of win- dows and shake hands across the street. Events, however, do not indicate that they feel like doing this very often. —_ +2 The Cherokee Strip ts furnishing a great deal of pathetic and convincing testimony to the effect that an over crowded wilder- ness is worse than an over crowded city. —___ + +2 —___ The statement that Quen Victoria has been photographed 624 times tends to con- firm a popular impression that she is a woman of courage and patience. a A railway has been built in Salzkammer- gut, Austria, and the company is now said to be looking for a man who can call out the stations. ——_+ ++ —___ There is a jocose but unkind disposition to associate Mr. Van Alen’s Italian mission with peanut politics. ——___ +++ —____ Whet Mr. Hill wants ts a silver-threads- among-the-gold currency. —— -+e+___ SHOOTING STARS. Her Part of the Worry. One of Washington's bright women was Present while her husband discussed the financial situation. “I must confess,” he said, “that the money market has worried me a great deal.”* “It wasn't the money market that wor- Tied me,” observed his wife. “What was it?’ “It was the market money.” A Financial Problem. “This weather is fearfully perplexing,” said the nervous little man. “What's the matter?" “I can’t tell just what to do. I'm all con- fused. I've got to economize and I don’t know whether to lay out my money in coal or iee.”* What would you do, oh, poet gay, In writing of September, For rhymes to finish up your lay Without the word “remember? Danger Everywhere. “Things is gittin’ in a terrible way in this here country,” said Meandering Mike, as he seraped a plece of left-over ple off the newspaper he was reading. “I reckon so,” responded Plodding Pete. “But they's cne comfort. We ain't likely to notice it much.”* “Don't you be sure about that. Things is gittin’ ter a point where a man ain’t safe even in jail.” A Sip of the Tongue. “You have kyphosis bicyclistarum,” sald the young doctor to the athlete. “Great Scott! How do you know, doc- tor?” “Because—I am on to your curves.” An Optimistic Theory. ‘The weather-wise man is pursuing a plan ‘That has some Indication of reason. Perhaps he is doing the best that he can Toward prolonging the summer-girl sea- son. A Common Grief. “Does Charley Blaggins quote poetry to you?" she asked. No,” replied Miss Pepperton, “He misquotes it. . Tried to Comfort Him. The Black Maria was about to leave Fo- lice Court, and two prisoners crossed the sidewalk to take their place in it. One cf them was old and hardened; the other was evidently young in crime. “Oh, to think of it!” he moaned. “Of what?” asked the elder prisoner. “The disgrace of having to ride over to Jai in the Black Maria.” “That's so,” was the rather sympathetic Tesponse. “It’s pretty hard on a youngster Mke you, But then think of how much faster we'll go than if we had to take a Metropolitan car. 2 Perverted Courtesy. Brom the Detroit Free Press, It is significant that the silver Senators are the men who Insist upon doing the talk- ing in the Senate. It is a strange perver- sion of the common acceptation of courtesy which permits men to talk after they have had their say and to prevent the action of the majority in complying with the unmis- takable will 4f the people. Even common courtesy does not countenance the doing of a wrong. wearily. Will Have to Wait. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Arizona is kicking because there has been delay in admitting her to statehood. Let us look up her case. She had a little less than 60,000 inhabitants in 1890, or about a third of the number required in the large states for each member of the House of Representatives. Arizona will have to stay out a while longer. —___ > ___ A Compensating Circumstance. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Gold is not coming from Europe in as large amounts as two or three weeks ago.
