= THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. THE EVENING STAR ent cireniation in Wash: ald be so dressed, or to the Editorial or Bi mess Department, accordim: racter or purpose, vidual connected with the office. ‘That there should exist in those portions of the United States supposed to be most highly civilized monarchs whose power ex- ceeds that of those who autocratically rule in lands beyond the seas {s one of the most astounding features of that something Which is enthusiastically but often erro- neously designated “a free government.” It is a condition that should be impossible, but It flourishes exceedingly, and attains a rank and noxious growth which to the de- gent majerity must soon become insuffer- able. The two most striking examples of “bossism™ are to be found in the cities of New York and Brooklyn—at the nation’s eastern and greatest gateway. Very mauy people who Imagine themselves to be reas- onably well informed as to American affairs have but a faint idea of the methods by which public business fs conducted in the municipalities named, and it is to these Teputable but unsuspecting people that Harper's Weekly addresses itself with Proper frequency. In the hope that reform may resuit. In Its late issue the “Journal of Civilization” discusses “Our Kings,” and in the doing thereof tells some indisputable but unsavory truths. In those great cities of enormous wealth and business activity, says the Weekly, the students of political institutions who visit this country in this Columbian year will find intelligent and civilized people profuse in professions of public spirit and patriotism, and the ma- chinery of popular self-government in per- fect completeness and, apparently, in con- stant operation. They will observe at the same time “that taxes are high, that the expenditures of public money run to fabu- lous amounts im proportion to the public work done, and that the men in official position administering public interests are mostly, in point of character, far from being such as would be intrusted by a prudent man with the management of his private affairs. In fact, in many cases, uniting in themselves conspicuously the qualities which should exclude anyone possessing them from piaces of trust and responsi- bility.” Very naturally the foreign students will find it extremely difficult to understand the inner workings of a system that now oper- ates In almost every city of prominence in the United States, the city of Washington being a conspicuous exception. The boss, as a rule, is without official position and cannot be iueld to anything but personal accountability. Yet his power seems to be Mmitless and revolts against the force he so despotically exercises are few and invari- ably futile. As the Weekly says: “The polit- teal organizations at the head of which they «the bosses) stand hold primaries and con- ventions ard nominate candidates for office But the candidates to be nominated have been selected beforenand by the boss. The people go to the polis and vote, but the well organized forces of the boss directly or indirectly aided by his allies in other parties Diindly obey his will and elect the cam @ates designated by him.” This power is carried to an extreme. Through his instru- ments—the superior officers—are appointed the many subordinates, and only in obedi- ence to his orders do the boards of alder- men and common councils grant or refuse privileges petitioned for by individuals or corporations. In New York and Brooklyn the rule of the boss is absolute and yet there are in those places thousands of intel- lgent men who really imagine that popular self-government prevails. That it pays to be boss in the cities named is daily idenced and yet the sources from whence the boss obtains his princely income are concealed from the gaze of those who should know all about the workings of the government for whose support they are so outrageously taxed. Public money ts will- fully squandered to support those who have contributed to the enthronement and main- tenance of a species of monarchy; monar- ehy which “has not even the deceptive pre tence of splendor and prestige, which nobody can serve without shame, and which has nothing to give but the booty of the public robber; @ monarchy disgustingly vulgar in the viciousness of its aims and methods as well as in its personnel.” And yet there are these in Washington who clamor for a change in our municipal condition, which, without giving us the full rights of Amer- fean ettizens, would break down the existing munteipal safeguards and make bossism in this city a possibility. cence SES Elsewhere in this issue of The Star ts Feproduced an editorial from the Dry Goods Economist, a trade Journal of the highest standard, In which the attention of dealers in fabrics and of those interested in co- ordinate industries {s directed most potnt- edly to the method and material of Star advertisements. As a part of the commen- ation the Economist reproduces two pages of advertisements from a recent issue of ‘The Star and challenges comparison with any or all other papers in the land. The Economist calls the Star's exhibit—selected by the Economist and at hap-hazard—“mar- velous;” an2 none the less so because that exhibit 1s republished six times a week. Anxious to impress upon its many readers the advantages of giving the public intel- Ugent information as to goods that are for Sale and as to the places where “things needful" are sold at reasonable prices, the Economist says that the merchants in every other city in the country can learn much from the dry goods retailers of Washing- ton and “publishers of all our daily papers €an find food for thought from the policy ef their Washington contemporary.” The art of giving to business announcements the attractiveness and freshness of other news ls a notabie feature of modern American journalism. The pages of today’s Star and, Indeed, of every issue of the paper, prove that the Economist's commendation of the tanner in which the Star has cultivated this art is not undeserved. —_—__ ++ ___ Repeated calls on Attorney Oiney “smash a trust.” just as a guarantee food faith, have not produced results as y. It ts altogether possible that the Attorn General does not desire to take any which may add to the complications ¢ Business condition which is already pretty Pall disordered. ev- to of = From the day when the extraordinary Session of the Fifty-third Congress com- menced to be there have been efforts took- ing to compromise in the matter of finan. cial legislation, but until now the efforts bad every appearance of ineffectiveness @ id the proposition lacked earnest suppo: But today it seems as though the move- ment toward compromise had assumed def- inite shape. Men who are anxious for legis- lation insist that both the intense goid and Silver men will have to surrender a little ef that for which they contend or the ses- sion will be resuith The proposition likely to be adopted—if frank expressions of opinion by lators of prominence have &ny valne—will be far from satisfactory to those who represent the silver interests, but it will be very much better for them than the mere u tional repeal of t Giver purchase la It though an agreement will be reac Which the purct silver will pended until all t now in the vaults seems as ed by of the Treasury Depart s been teined, and when that h Dlished (it will take something like eight years to do it at the rate of $1,501.00 a Month) the purchase of silver is to be re- @umed at the rate of 2,0W,0W ounces per country {s $300,000,000. The compromise also ' provides that there shall be, immediate’y | a gold bond fssue to the extent of $200, | month until the total silver currency in the t | 000,000, and the result will, it is clalmed, be | | a sufficiency of both metals. That the ad- ministration will agree, in advance of tegis- lative action, to such a compromise is not at all likely, for the President has declared with all necessary emphasis his desire to have this session do nothing but repeal un- | conditionally the obnoxious silver purchase |act. But if such compromise came to him with the approval of both Houses he | would undoubtedly sign the bill. That a compromise like that outlined would go through the House of Representatives is certain; that it will go through the Senate is quite probable. ——__+++—___ Satisfied that its philanthropy strikes at the root of an evil that seems to im- pend, the Indian Rights Association has subscribed the funds necessary to defray the expenses of several young Navajo In- dians to, at and from the world’s fair. The association, which has done much in be- half of the sometimes oppressed and in- variably misgoverned red man, believes that the expenditure of a few hundred dollars in that fashion will result in real good and that a vast quantity of gross ig- norance will surely be dispelled by the brief contact of Navajos and Chicago. In 4@n explanatory statement as to this excur- sion--for which the liberal members of the association are deserving of commenda- tion—the association avers that portions lor the Navajo tribe “are more or less | troublesome through their ignorance, and ; complications which have arisen between settlers and themselves owing to questions of land and water, largely arising through the uncertain boundaries of their reserve, are more or less threatening.” In that reference to boundary troubles is betrayed the real source of apprehension and to the removal of that fruitful cause of strife should the practically philanthropic devote themselves. The Star has nothing but praise for those whose generosity made It possible for Lieut. Plummer, the acting Indian agent, to conduct eight young ig- norant Navajos into the presence of that wonder of the century—the World’s Co- jumbian Exposition—but there is room for questioning the soundness of that logic which has it that a pleasant journey to Chicago for such an insignificant fragment of the ibe will cut any material figure in Navajo councils when marauding white men trespass on what the Indians believe to be their own land and take therefrom the hay and timber that are so valuable to such a pastoral people as the Navajoes are. The true remedy for Navajo discontent is an official survey of the reservation and @ conclusive and unmistakable marking of the border lines. When the excursion- ists return from the fair they may dis- course for a year upon the power of the conquering race, but that will not prevent thelr tribesmen from endeavoring to avenge themselves for sheep stolen or irrigating water diverted by obtruding and criminally- pertinacious residents of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. ———~ee—___. One of the lines of labor on which the Memorial Association of the District of Columbia has much to do is the educating of popular sentiment unti] there shall be general appreciation of the value of many historic houses that extst within the city of Washington. One of the members of the Memorial Association and most active as a missionary worker is the Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Cov- enant. For some time past Dr. Hamlin has made a careful study of the old mansions once occupied by men and women whose names are conspicuous in early American history, and out of the vast amount of val- uable material gathered in the course of much patient investigation he has succeeded in producing an admirable article on this deeply interesting subject—an article which is printed in the October number of Serib- ner’s Magazine. Portions of the sketch have been reproduced on another page of The ‘Star; they will well repay perusal, and may reasonably be expected to result in a growth of that patriotic feeling which sooner or later will cause many of the structures to pass from private ownership Into the hands of the public, to be preserved as memorials of people and periods that should never be forgotten. a Members of the National Legislature who ere ever ready to criticise newspapers that publish statements alleged to be slightly or considerably Inaccurate should pause occa- sionally and give a little time to reflection over the fact that the house in which they are sheltered has a good deal of glass in its construction. The Congressional Record is @ publication in which, theozetically, may be found the utterances of the statesmen and other persons who have succeeded in securing titles as senators and representa- tives, but as a matter of fact the Record is not a record. Again and again have men uttered many strange and improper words on the floor of their branch of Congress but only at rare intervals, and then probably through error, have those same utterances found their way to the pages of that rather uninteresting daily that ts supposed to be a faithful chronicle of congressional proceed- ings. Once in a while a public man is real- ly misrepresented by a cazeless or vicious journalist, but much more frequently does the congressman misrepresent himself by the manner in wnich he corrects his speeches before they are given to the public In the Recozd which Is not a record. 0 Today marks the close of the league base ball season and it brings with it the stern, realizing sense that we must abandon any fond hope we may have cherished that the name of the Washington team might be at the head of the list. With a feeling of sorrow and sadness that is very much akin to pain we know at last that Wagner's Wandere:s have settled into the customary place at the tail-end of the procession. The Star's regret at this local disaster is temper- ed with the satisfaction that comes from knowing that “We told you so,” for on the opening of the season, In prophetic spirit, it made the statement that on the last day the home team would be in the last place, and it is a great thing in these hard times to be a prophet whose prophecy has been fulfilled. Let us now listen patiently while e are told what a fine team we are going to have next year. see ‘The judicial proceeding now in progress with reference to the Fonl's Theater disas- ter is a solemn admonition that should stimulate prompt congressional ection with reference to a new government printing of- fice. There is an abundance cf availabie territory, and with the necessity for the step universally admitted, there ts no rea- son why this enterprise should not furnish a record as a piece of legisiation that com- bines rapidity with wisdom. | —~ +02 Ordinarily it would have been sratifying to learn that Gladstone at his recent speech at Edinburgh was in good yolce | But under the circumstances it Is little else | than a melancholy reminder of our own | senators who so copiously enjoy the same city. fel +e Massachusetts is considering the question of whether or not legacies shall be taxed. | It looks very much like an attempt on the | part of the government to appropriate some | of the lawyer's’ perquisites se The sic minent theorist who declares that ness originates in the ear would gain more gratitude than he could tell what sea > with by devising some means for | Keeping it there ‘There is a disposition to base an estimate of Mr. Van Alen as a diplomatic quantity jon Rhode Island's geographic rreasure- | ments. | ———_+-eo____ | Speaking of a revival of conidence, It | will take a great deal to bring about a res- | toration of public confidence in the Senate. THE WEEK. | Business is slowly getting back toward | the activity which prevaited at the opening of the year, but the industrial movement |is very deliberate, and will probably be no |less so throughout the winter. It 1s be- | Heved to be in the power of the Senate to | hasten the coming of better times, but the | Senate, so far, is active only in a vocal | fashion. Debate in that body during the ast few days has been enlivened consid- erably by personal allusions and by Sena- tor Stewart's direct attack upon President Cleveland. In the House the debate on the federal elections bill has dragged slowly. Train robbing—an industry that for a time promised to be extremely profitable—has Teceived several severe blows, and is likely to receive several more if occasion offers, for most of the principal raliroads have armed the trainmen and are prepared to re- sist every effort that looks to forcible theft and possible murder. Yachting enthusiasts are wide awake, and wait, in company with @ good many people who are» not peren- nially enthusiastic, the contests between Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie and the Ameri- ya igitan inamen have been deported from Pacific coast towns in small lots, but the great bulk of the un- registered has not been disturbed, and is not likely to be for some time to come. Yellow fever still continues to afflict the town of Brunswick, Ga., many new cases having developed and several deaths having taken place. Disasters have been plentiful, the more conspicuous being the flooding of @ mine in Michigan, by which twenty- eight men lost their lives, and the big fire at St. Joseph, Mo. Railroad accidents have been matters of daily occurrence, but the mortality in connection therewith has not been Ja Foreign Lands. Two or three European countries continue to walk around with chips on their shoul- dezs, but the influences favorable to peace are more powerful than is the desire for war, so there is no immediate prospect of hostilities. French republicans are very much annoyed because the Czar of Russia behaves in @ cordial and gentlemanly man- ner toward the Count of Paris and the Duke of Orleans, but as Russia is too big to be jumped upon just now the French government is taking out its spite on di- minutive and helpless Siam. In Germany everything is moviag smoothiy and there is possibility of reconciliation between the Emperor William and Bismarck; the ex- chancellor has been ill of pneumonia; he may accept the emperor's overtures’ for Peace, but it is generally believed that he will preserve his independence and continue to criticise imperial measures whenever he has an opportunity. Gladstone's speech to the liberals of Midiothian has created some- What of a sensation and may do much to- ward bringing the house of lords to its senses as to great popular efforts at legis- lation. Austria is having trouble with anarchists, but seems at last reports to have the upper hand in its struggle with the bomb-throwing maniacs. The principal event in labor circles is the continued strike of coal miners in Derbyshire; among the consequences of the fight are the advance in fuel prices and the semi-starvation of more than 20,000 women and children who are dependent upon the miners’ earnings for subsistence. American railroad securi- ties evidently are not seriously affected by the financial condition for Baron Hirsch, one of the shrewdest European financiers, @ few days ago invested $%,000,000 in stock: of the leading roads. Revolutions in Brazil and Argentina revolve with vary- ing results. Cholera. continues to disturb in three or four piaces; it Is es- pecially bad at Leghorn and on the eastern shore of the Persian gulf. Principal among the calamities was the loss of the Russian war ship Roosalka, which foundered in the gulf of Finland and took down with it more than 200 men. In the District. ‘The week has not been an eventful one in local circles. The weather for the most part has been a type of the delightful days that mark an autumn in this city. The a gument on the demurrer in the case of the old Ford's Theater disaste> was begun. Two bodies held sessions in the city; one was the W. C. T. U. of the District, and the other was the triennial convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. SHOOTING STARS. “There is a good deal of importance at- tached to me just now,’ remarked the po- liceman as he pinned on his badge. EMficacto “What horrible smell ts that?” he asked as he unpacked his winter clothes. “That's the stuff I used to keep the moths out of them,” his wife answered proudly. “Well, it must have answered the pur- pose, I know it'll keep me out of ‘em.” Johnny and His Jacket. Out in the wood shed sire and son Communed with woe when the day was done. “T'll teach you—” "twas the sire who spoke; “That you are still too youns to smoke. “I'll warm your jacket till you sve A cause why such things niust not be.” “But,” cried the lad, “this warmth, I fear, Brings dire combustion very near. Since smoking is forbid, I vow I need no smoking jacket row.” And this is why Johnny got two puntsh- ments instead of the one his father had originally intended. Heartless: “I will never speak to you agai De Broot’s wife. “My dear,” he replied, like the cold-blood- ed monster that he is, “I will buy you a sealskin sacque this winter ‘f 1 can.

His style is too stilted.” sobbed asked the ‘Total Depravity. “Just think of it!” exclaimed Mr. Lush- ly’s wife. “Just think of it.” ‘Just think of what?” asked Lushly. “This newspaper states that in Belgium there are 150,000 saloons, and 5,000 schools.” Lushly was silent in thought. “What do you think of that?’ asked his wife. “Why-er-ain’t that a good many schools for such a small country?” “I have often heard this spoken of as light literature,” he remarked as he read his gas bill through for the secon time,“but it always comes right home to a man, just the same. He Came at Last. exclaimed the nervous woman. “There's a burglar in the house. I'm sure of it. John rubbed his eyes, and protested mildly that it was tmagiaation. “No it isn’t. [heard a man down stairs,” So John took a box of matches and went down. To his surprise his wife's suspicions were correct. Seeing that he was unarmed, the burglar covered him with a revolver and became quite sociable. “Isn't it rather late to be out of bed?” he remarked. “A-er-a-little bit," replied John. You're too late, anyhow, because I've dropped everything out of the window, and my pals have carried it off.” “Oh, that's all right. I'd jike to ask one vor of you, though.” ‘What fs it?” “Stay here until my wife can come down and see you.
