THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper.

Especially has this been conspicu- ous in the great commercial metropolis, for there the greatest of all “bosses"—Richard Croker—has forced from power men who Were not subservient to his will and has named as their successors those who will surely be more pliant and more considerate ef the wishes expressed by the uncrowned ezar, whose word is greater than the stat- utes enacted for the government of Man- hattan Island. Of those who were publicly sacrificed, and by whose decapitation the public will surely suffer, the more important victim was Comptroller Myers. The clever- est of arithmeticians cannot figure out how many millions of dollars Mr. Myers saved to the people of New York city, and yet it was this watchfulness, this ever vigilant honesty, this disregard of everything that lacked principle, that brought about his political execution. Another victim of the boss’ displeasure is District Attorney De Lancey Nicoll, one of the most vigorous law officers New York city has known for many years. He has been guilty of per- nicious activity. Criminals who had strong political “pulls received no more consid- eration from him than was accorded the voteless villain of low degree. He had no sympathy for “boodlers,” and easily achiev- ed unpopularity with Croker and the in- fluences represented by that remarkable personage. There is another man on whom Tammany has turned its back. A year ago and Bourke Cockran was Tammany’s pride, and in the fuisome flattery that was then showered upon him was prophecy of a po- liticale future most brilliant. Urged to en- thusiasm by Croker the slavish among Tammany applauded the utterances of the finest elocutionist the organization had ever ossesed; today Bourke Cockran is joined to that band of exiles who bave been cast out by the chief and can never hope to secure such prominence as may come through suffrage as long as the boss sits undisturbed upon the corruptly-founded throne. Loyalty to the “boss” is the one Yequirement, and because they had not this three good citizens and able men have been “turned down.” Is New York proud of its absolute monarchy? Could there be a More pointed reminder of the failure of unlimited, popular suffrage in the choice of those who are intrusted with purely muni- cipal functions, than is furnished by the spectacle exhibited in many of our large elties, of the capture of the municipal gov- ernment and the municipal purse by organ- ized bands of non-taxpaying, irresponsible voters? Extravagance, corruption, despotic acts by the leaders of these organized bands are the natural outcome of a system which takes the money contributed by taxpayers and places it in the hands of an aggregation of son-taxpayers for disbursement or con- fiseation. It is with such warnings as this im view that Washington congratulates iteelf upon a municipal government which, im spite of defects, fs clean, honest, approxi- mately non-partisan, and efficient. —_+ e+ —__ In an unofficial trial of speed—one nour’s Tua—the cruiser Columbia kas developed ability to move at a gait of twenty-one and a half knots, and as this is satisfactory to her builders the government will be asked to make an official test as soon as possible and then take possesston of her for use in the service. The District ef Columbia should be especially interested in this ship, for the swift craft was named in honor of the ter- ritory which contains the national capital. ‘The Columbia is something to be proud of, for although the preliminary trials have not revealed record-breaking speed, it is believed by many experts that when the final test 1s made the rate of progress will be at least equal to 2 knots. Whether this probability does or does not materialize it is now cer- tain that the Columbia is the fastest cruiser afloat and that fact should accelerate local interest in her existence. The Star has sev- eral times called attention to the fact that other cities for which some of our modern asen-of-war bave been named have presented to those vessels gifts deemed suitable. The District should follow the example and it doubtless will. The Star has suggested that local generosity take the form of a library, but intimations received from naval sources favor a silver service or a huge punch bowl. ‘These intimations have not, however, Wrought conversion. Discussing the dona- tions to the cruiser New York, Medical Director Edward Shippen, of the navy, who conducts a most interesting feature of The United Service—a military and naval maga- zime—says that a ship's bell is a good and sensible gift—one which is seen and heard ail the time, and taken pride in by the ship's company. “A silver table service,” says he, “ts well enough, but it must be lived up to; and then, which is it for, the cabin or the wardroom? Then the punch bowl; what of that? The law distinctly states that no spirits are to be used on board. * © © As for the books—really the best gift of the Jot—we hope that no expensive lettering or tooling will be put upon them; for, if freely used by every one, as it ought to be, a ship's library comes back from a cruise mouldy, dilapidated, dog-eared and coverless—unless canvas covers have replaced the dainty ones with which it began life.” This opinion may Rot be sneered at; the authority is too good. A first-class library is just what the Colum- ‘Dia needs and The Star would like to see some open-handed citizen come to the front ‘with a solid contribution that may act as @ foundation for the dollars that must fol- low. ee The minority should remember that a misguided person reaps his severest pun- ishment through having his own way for @ time. _ ——-_- + = ‘The political compiexion of the Hill-Reed Style of quorum is a litte misty ——— Lamentation that is far from being of the unreasonable variety comes continually from those who depend mainly upon hired assistance for the proper conduct of ma- terial affairs in the household. The com- Diainings of these unfortunate ones are Voleed at consilerable length in the North American Review for October, where Cath- erine Seiden disc >: what she terms “the tyranny of the kitchen. it is insisted by this writer that there found among certain w th belong to the general. supplemented by uliar to the class itself. ure, those who enter domestic service defects of character human race in ciencies ps clench Matters of conjecture; the n ture of ascertained facts, and come home to each of us with the force of accumu- lated experience, so that “It may safely be Predicted that the servant sirl of the fu- ture, as of the past, unless forced to do so, Will make no adequate preparation for the | @uties she assumes; that the houscke per | | must continue to teach her ignorant em- ploye, and at the same time to pay her the brice which is due to skilled labor.” It is undoubtediy true that very many girls blunder seriously when they decline to earn &@ livelihood in domestic service and ele to toil long hours in stores and work roo: for less pay than that which is gladly given the intelligent help of 4 sehoid. In Mast of the homes of this Iund in which ions of life and yet it is Servants tind a place, fe decidedly cumfortabie, | described the Senate. daily becoming more and more difficult to secure the material out of which really valuable servants are made. The Selden remedies are two. One lies in the more fre- quent employment of the Chinese and the Italians, said to combine meny qualities essential to good servants. They are al leged to be “versatile, silent and econom!- cal,” with the advantage on the side of the Chinaman because he is not a politician, minds his business, makes his money and goes home. The other remedy Is a co-op- erative enterprise by which meals will be furnished and delivered at each custom- er’s door. Of the first idea it can safely be said that neither the Chinamen noe the Italians can achieve sufficient popularity am the America of today to make them capable of displacing any considerable num- ber of the rawest feminine importations. The second proposition, too, will fail to find favor. It is true that the work of cooking is “the most troublesome yet neces- sary part of domestic life, that it requires more intelligence than all the other tasks of housekeeping and is the one upon which the comfort of the family most largely de- pends,” but the idea of distributing meals from a central kitchen is not likely to prove @ lasting success. Such a kitchen, to be successful, would have to be run on a busi- ness basis and the cost of cookery added to the price of the articles cooked would make the product almost if not quite as extensive as though it had been cooked at home; with the added disadvantage of its probably being overdone or underdone—for the cooks in a great, public kitchen, such as the Selden plan provides for could not pos- sibly have anything like an intimate ac- quaintance with the likes and dislikes of their customers. It might be that in large cities a sufficient number of people would be found to make such a venture pay a reasonably good rate of interest on the in- vestment, but these customers would only be a very small minority of the population. There is no marked tendency toward such centralization and there are no indications of weakness in the individual. Women who are housekeepers grumble more or less because the help they pay Is frequently far from their ideal, but most of them would be quite unhappy if they had none save their husbands and children over whom to exercise the appearance of authority. The real remedy is the education of dependent girls to the duties of the kitchen; a result that may be brought about within a few years by the school teachers of the country. Let the girls be taught that the kitchen is every whit as respectable as the store and the cooking range as the ribbon coun- ter; give them practical lessons in the art of wholesome cookery and the people of this land will rise up and call the tutors blessed. —___+ e+ —___ Insisting always that its warfare is in the interests of civilization, that it slaught- ers but to civilize and destroys oniy to coim- pel savage accord with the dictates of Christianity, Great Britain now finds her- self in a position from which explanation will not extricate. Reliable information from India is to the effect that the Ameer of Afghanistan {s selling as slaves the per- scns who were captured by his forces dur- ing the recent rebellion of the Hazara tribes. The outbreak caused the Ameer to spend a good deal of his hard earned cash and he has taken to slave dealing to re- coup. Great Britain nominally controls the Ameer and is really in possession of Af- ghanistan. Will that great power—which for years has prided itself upon the senti- ment that no being who lives beneath the Union Jack can be other than physically free—permit the Ameer to sell men and women like cattle? Or will policy be more powerful than the humanity of which the nation of Wilberforce boasts? —__~--2 __ ‘The Cumberland Times has just celebrat- ea its ninth birthday under the present management and finds cause for pride in what it has achieved in that brief period. Nine years ago The Times was much smaller in size, very much less influential and with but a limited circulation. It de- serves the success which it has achieved. ——_++ 2 __ It may be that Senator Hill's earlier ora- torical efforts were embarrassed by a cer- tain sense of awe, inspired by his surround- ings, which sentiment he has since had every reason to lose. —+ o One great difference between Rome and Senator Morgan lies in the fact that Rome Saton"seven hills and smiled, while Senator Morgan sat on one Hill and did not smile. +o It is said that Paderewski has made so much money that he can now afford to play for his own amusement. —— _ +02 SHOOTING STARS.
