JTHE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY 5. NOYES... Editor. = = THE BVESING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washing: tom more than three times larger than that of amy other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or te the Editorial ér Bust- mess Department, according their eharacter oF purpore, not to y indi- vidual connected with the office. During the approaching winter Congress will be called upon to consider many mat- ters of extreme interest to the District of Columbia, but none of the topics upon which there may be profitable expenditure of dis- will deserve more attention than the city’s sreet lighting. Believing report to the first session of ‘the Fitty-third Congress what deduction may be made for gas and electric lighting, both for annual, five-year and for ten-year “contracts, and that they be authorized to ‘imvite proposals for supplying said light at Fedueed rates, and in this they are not im- “fed to any one system or company.” The task thus set was allotted to Capt. Derby, the engineer officer who has charge of street illumination, and he has made his report to the Commissioners. Without much difficulty Capt. Derby soon became aware of the fact that the gas and electric light companies of this city were averse to any change, the present arranze- ments being regarded by them as sufti- ciently profitable to please even exacting corporations. Efforts to secure co-operation failed entirely, and communications sug- Bestive of discussion were treated with for- mal politeness of the chilly variety. Then Capt. Derby went elsewhere for informa- tion, and im a little while uncovered the fact—frequently commented on in The Star—that the city was paying very much | more for its street lights than were other | cities of smaller size and incomparably less | importance. The remedies recommended by Capt. Derby must originate in legislation, and Congress cannot act too rapidly to Please the only persons who should be pleased tn this matter—the people who in- habit the District of Columbia. “Appro- priations for street lighting,” says the eap- tain, “should be no longer divided by Con- gress into separate sums for electric and | gas lighting, but the appropriations made} im a single sum, leaving it to the Commis- | stoners to use this money in whatever man- ner they can secure the best results.” Authority should also, he says, be granted the Commissioners to enter into ten years’ contracts, and if this endeavor to cheapen il- Jumination be balked by non-responsive companies they should be empowered to sell bonds and establish a street lighting plant which will the present sources of supply and which could hardly be.either more expensive or less satis- factory. Capt. Derby calls attention to the fact that the “District of Columbia has special advantages for carrying on its own municipal work without a contractor as an intermediary, because of the non-par- tisan character of its government and the almost absolute freedom from political in- fluence in the choice of its employes.” The report is in close touch with public sentiment, and is worthy of appreciative gonsideration by the national legislature. + e+ - There are probably more street parades ‘m Washington than in any other city in the Union; a not surprising fact when the broad and smooth avenues and other temp- tations to move processionally are taken In- to consideration. But many of these pa- rades should be escorted by a force of po- Mee sufficient to preserve order along the lime of march. There was a parade yester- + composed as to the main body of un- doubtedly respectable citizens-men who ‘wear good clothing when they are not at work and who ordinarily respect the law. But there were others who while not a part of the iegitimate procession were nev- ‘ertheless tod numerous to be unnoticed. ‘They were the hundreds of idle and worth- Tess negro men and women who afflict this city with their presence. Parallel with the parade they swept along the sidewalks im an unbroken wave, compelling all others to seek safety in doorways or cross streets until the multitude had passed by. They ‘were not all innocent spectators, attracted Merely by the martial music; arsong them were the degraded and criminal of their Face and of that there was ample evidence before the procession disintegrated. A couple of murders were attempted and when an officer endeavored to capture one of the would-be slayers he was hampered im his movements by the ruffians who sym- THE EVENING stead and would exact as much tribute as has ever been demanded by Tammany and the Kings County ring. Philadelphia is thor- oughly republican in its municipal manage- ment and unless the methods common there are grossly misuhderstood It is as corrupt as it is republican. - Theat the so-called “popu- lar’ form of municipal government should be unsatisfactory Im most cases is not surprising when we realise how political considerations are permitted to prevail. The government of a city should not in any sense be political, and yet it f¢ elmost universally run on the same plan and by the same motor as moves state and national control. Will either the republicanism or democracy of an official guarantee good gus, or pure water, or sufficient sewerage, or solid pave- ments, or clean alleys? Can a candidate for municipal honors logically urge that his ad- herence to the Gocttines commonly ascribed either to Jackson, or Jefferson, or Lincoln fits him to be a conservator of the public health, or makes him especially efficient as @ guardian of the public peace? Is the fire- man who wore a rooster in his cap last November more courageous or more agile in the performance of his perilous duty than the fireman who hopes to crow when some other November comes? Municipal scandals will continue to be and will multiply so long as partisan politics interferes. In Washing- ton there fs less of the partisan foolishness in municipal government than in any other city in the country and the result is seen in the superiority of our attractions. Every dollar—unless diverted by a thoughtless Con- gress to pay‘’a national debt, as in the case of the Aqueduct tunnel—is properly spent; the taxpayer suffers no injustice. In years to come men will wonder why munic- ipal business was ever handled in such en unbusinessiike fashion as it is today in most of our big cities. If James J. Corbett and Charles Mitchell ever meet in fistic conflict the event will probably come off elsewhere than in the United States. Moved to action by a cleanly public sentiment and fixed in pur- pose by strong personal regard for {i Gov. Roswell P. Flower of New York has declared that the two pugilists shall not settle their differences within the bounda- ries of the empire state. From that decis- fon there is no appeal, and if there was any higher authority in New York it would not be bothered by decent people. On more than one occasion Gov. Flower has asserted himself and upheld the dignity of his office, and by this time it is thoroughly under- stood that when he says “no” he means “no.” Brooklyn politicians have ed that he would not interfere with their prof- itable plans, but in this instance—notable if only for that reason—the bosses have been downed and the dearest wishes of the Kings county hoodlums are firmly disre- garded. With the possibility of guberna- torial interference in New York ever before them the managing spirits looked upon New Orleans as a sure haven of refuge in case Coney Island should be unavailable. But their calculations érred once more, for Gov. Foster of Louisiana is just as emphatic as Gov. Flower, and he has made public his intention to arrest and imprison any fight- ers who invade Loutsiana for the purpose of committing a breach of the peace. That the encounter cannot take place in the United States seems to be indicated by Mitchell's suggestion that the “mill come off in Cuba—a high compliment to the civ- {lization of this country. + oe __ The stiver men say that they prefer un- conditional repeal to the Gorman compro- mise. Of course, the repeal Senators prefer it, and so do the President, the House of Representatives and the overwhelming majority of the people of the republic. What in the world then prevents immediate and unconditional repeal? —-- + ee The Post is to be congratulated upon its issuance in fresh and attractive dress from its new home, one of the handsomest and most thoroughly equipped of modern news- paper offices. The Post's success and pros- perity have been well deserved. —- + +e Politics does not take note of the niceties of diction. Otherwise there would long since have been a movement in New York to change the name from Kings county to Boss's county. ———___+ ++ _____ The Sultan of Turkey claims that he has just discovered two letters from Mahomet which will revolutionize things. This is a terrible reflection on Turkey's post office department. ———>e2—______ The responsibilities which rest with con- sular representatives in determining which Chinamen are artists and which are not open a new field for the critics. ———++s—_—___ Mr. Charles Fair seems to be impressed with the idea that he is running spectacular Opposition to the world’s fair. + Wm. K. Vanderbilt, it 1s reported, has fone into the coal combine, thereby giving pathized with the ragor-wielder, but for- tunately without effect. No reasonable be- ity can or will object to the public appear- euee of reputable organizations but there is strong sentiment against the mob that almost Invariably accompanies such minor displays. Surely the police can break up such disorderly assembiies or compel de- cent behavior by being present ia suffi- cient numbers. 0 ___ The Executive Committce of the Fede-a- tion of Labor is in session in this city, bent ea the furtherance of reforms to which Organized labor 1s pledged. Principal among these are the strengthening and ex- tension of the eight-hour law and the re- moval of differences which have caused fiction and disturbance in the Various unions upon which the Federation is found- ed, With the efforts that are being put forth by the committee there should be strong public sympathy. The earnings con- seqgent upon eight hours of steady toil each day should be sufficient to satisfy the phy- and mental requirements of the aver- age man and it ts certain that longer pe- Hods of toll result in all-eround deteriora- tdon. Our forefathers worked twice as jong and imagined themselves happy, but times Rave changed and we continually satisfy ourselves that we are in every way superior to our great-grandfathers. The organiza- fion of wageworkers was a noble idea and its application has been productive of in- creased compensation while it shortened the laborer’s day. Carefully controlled and managed by the conservative the Federa- tion may wonderfully extend its Power; run by radical and eccentric minds it can easiiy betcme fruitful of evil and altogether unde- sirable. —__ ++ _____ ‘The fear expressed in the Senate that a Guscussion of new rules will develop acri- mony is truly touching. + oe -Republican and populistic critics in com- meating with severity upon the malodorous municipal conditions in the cities of New York and Brooklyn have pounded their dem- Conatic adversaries mightily and with a re- multant show of something like Political ad- vantage. But with all the partisan assailing ‘that is being done there has been a marked @bsence of odious comparison, no lofty as- surance to the effect that “I am holier than thou,” no assumption of superiority, no claim to the possession of uncommon virtue. The truth ts there ts no opportunity for mak- ing partisan capital of municipal misman- agement, for no matter which party controls the municipal affairs of any of the larger cities, they all appear to have been tarred with the same brush. In each community the average citizen seems to be regarted as @ gullible victim who by his industry pro- vides those whom he foolishly permits to rule him with the wealth they so persistent- ly and, as a rule, so successfully seek. In New York and Brooklyn there are republi- can as well as democratic “bosses,” but the former attract the less attention just now because they are comparatively powerless. Should an election in those cities result tn overturning the supremacy of Croker and McLaughlin it would be but a little while before other monarchs would reign in their | tacit emphasis to the family motto. Se This Senate will go down to posterity with one of the most conspicuous records for spoiled silence known In history. nr Mr. Hill shows a persistent disposition to take the dilemma by the horns. ——_- see ___ SHOOTING STAKS.
