4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY...........November 2, 1893. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regula: ana} materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people in intrusting power to the democratic | party. With the preceding statements constituting the most conspicuous plank in its platform the democratic party argued permanent circulatt: Washing- | #24 voted itself into control of the execu- tom more spree ea. Gasaa Gnome | tive and legislative branches of government. The victory occurred almost a year ago, but than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has the “culminating atrocity of class legisla- mo competitor. tion” {s still an undisturbed statute, al- though Congress has been in session three Bo nee ee {Letters to THE STAR should be so months. That Congress was called together addressed, or to the Editorial or Bast- | to consider what was an undoubtedly press- mess Department, accordt to their character or purpone, not to any indi- vidual connected with the office. Residents of this city who have been Scandalized by the intoxication which has heretofore been so easily acquired in drug stores, and at hours when saloons were closed by law, will not find fault with the Nquor law which went into effect yesterday. Under the statute, druggists are forbidden to sell intoxicating Nquors except upon the Prescription of a physician; they are abso- lutely forbidden to take out wholesale Ueenses. The attorney for the District has rendered an opinion as to both propositions, ‘and his conclusions accord precisely with the law. Says Attorney Thomas: “Drug- gists are authorized by the eleventh section of the act to sell intoxicating liquors for medical purposes, but upon no other condi- tions. They are required to keep a record of their sales of liquor, specifying the names of the persons to whom sold and the prices obtained, and this record, it is declared, shall be at all times open to the inspection of the excise board.” The penalties for failure to comply with the law are those Prescribed for the sale of liquor without a Meense. Reputable druggists will have no adverse comment to make on the new con- ditions, while liquor dealers who have to pay @ large sum annually for the privilege of continuing in the intoxicant business must appreciate the statute's interference im their behalf. A few conscienceless phy- siclans may assault their profession by the improper distribution of prescriptions, and @ few druggists will do their utmost to run “speak-easies,” but the publicity of the rec- ords cannot but have a restraining effect upon the former, while the latter may safe- ly be left in the hands of the police and of those ardent believers in total abstinence who have organized to supplement the pre- ventive endeavors of the duly-constituted authorities. ~~ ee Thirteen states will on Tuesday next struggle in the throes of elections that are of greater or less importance. In only one of them—Ohio—is there anything like a national issue, and there McKinley will do battle for protection against Neal, the au- thor of the free trade plank in the demo- cratic platform. Politically that will be the most interesting struggle, but it does not give promise of the warmth which will surely result from the friction in New York. ‘There the issue is more moral than partisan and although democratic success is gener- ally assured it may be that Maynard, the democratic nominee for judge of the court of eppeals, will experience defeat. The campaign in lowa is also interesting, for Gov. Boies seeks election for the third time, under conditions that are barely Minted at by the term “complicated.” The other states concerned in the balloting that takes place on Tuesday are Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Missouri, Ne- braska, Wisconsin and South Dakota. It is not expected that any influences other than those of the personal sort will pre- vail except in the Buckeye state and there the campaign is of the old-fashioned va- Piety, with present chances favorable to Gov.. McKinley. ——————++-e-—__ ‘Washington ts very much interested in the man, who, while not its creator, was certainly the best friend any city ever had Alexander R. Shepherd. With energy @uch as was never before or since displayed fn the conduct of American municipal af- fairs, he lifted a straggling and mud-en- cumbered village up to the dignity of a city of the first rank and laid broad and @eep the foundations upon which stands the most sightly and attractive center of Population in all the western hemisphere. ‘With his private fortune wrecked as the fesult of neglect of his individual interests fm absorbing labors for the city’s welfare, he left his native land to seek and to find appreciation among strangers. There he has such repute as but few men can achieve, and influence the like of which is not exerted by any other foreigner. He has prospered, and will probably within a year or so forsake his Mexican abode to return to the city he made so beautiful and to the thousands who will applaud his coming. ‘The Star of Tuesday gave some interesting details of affairs at Batopilas, contributed by Dr. Francis D. Merchant, a Washington- jan, who came from Mexico as escort to Mrs. and Miss Shepherd. The publication brought forth very many expressions that were highly eulogistic of the ex-governor. The day will surely come when a grateful people will erect in honor of Alexander R. Shepherd the finest monument in a city where fine monuments are not rare. ——__ +++ ____ Chief Clerk Sylvester of the Metropolitan Police Department makes a very reasonable request when he asks for additional clerical assistance. Since 1834 the police force has almost doubled in number and the work of the chief clerk’s office is easily twice as great as it was then, yet the chief clerk has but little more assistance now than he had eight or nine years ago. His office force as at present constituted consists almost entirely of policemen detailed for clerica) @uty; an arrangement which necessarily Giminishes the efficiency of the peace-pre- serving force. Congress should authorize the employment of a sufficient number of clerks, and thus permit Maj. Moore the use of the active street-patrolling services of several men who now do office work. Per- haps these particular men have some pecu- Mar fitness that makes them valuable to the chief clerk; in that case they might be ap- Pointed as clerks snd the vacancies caused by such appointments filled by the enlist- ment of new men for outside duty. ———_+ + + __ The disposition to cal! e new secretary of the embassy at London, “J. Roosevelt Roosevelt” at least deprives one H. C.

Fo! lowing that bold announcement was another and bolder thrust, the convention insistin: that: “We declare it to be a fundamenta brinciple of the democratic party that thr federal government has no constitutiona Power to tmpose afid collect tartff duties @xcept for the purposes of revenue only and we demand that the collection of suc? taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and econom feally administered.” That was pretty strong language and upon it the party migh have gone before the people, but there wa: lack of assurance as to what might be ex Pected should the democracy succeed, so th thoroughly representative convention prc ceeded to pledge the party by saying: “\ @enounce the McKinley tariff law enacte by the Fifty-first Congress as the culmina: ing atrocity of class legislation; we indors: the efforts made by the democrats of th Present Congress to modify Its most oppre sive features in the direction of free r-w soo ing financial question may be offered as an excuse for non-action on tariff matters, but the general public will nevertheless be crit- feal and will want to know why such aggressive promises have not been fulfilled with more earnestness and more of celerity. Arbitrary silver purchases are no longer in order, so their disturbing influences cannot now be used to divert attention from the tariff issue. It would be impossible to cal- culate the effect which these promises con- cerning the tariff have had upon industrial conditions, but it can safely be stated that they have been most injurious. Sooner or later the democrats in the House must pre- sent a tariff bill and this bill, no matter how mild it may be, or how remotely it may be related to the party platform, will change existing values on many products. Manu- facturers and merchants are, therefore, cautious and as their caution is of the ex- treme variety there is natural dullness of trade. The instant appearance of a tariff bill would be worth many thousands of dol- lars to the working people of this country; every week of delay promises to add to the numbers and the suffering of the unem- ployed. roe Citizens of Tenleytown are anxious to se- cure some of the ameliorating municipal conditions which invariably accompany re- lationship with a great city. They want street lamps and sidewalks and a larger Proportion of the police force and a suffi- ciency of sewerage facilities. All these things will be attended to as soon as pos- sible, or, to be more precise, as soon as Congress appropriates the money that such improvements demand. The city grows rapidly toward the complaining suburb and with that growth will be the certain accom- paniment of betterments such as Tenley- town is now too modest to think of. The District Commissioners will doubtless do what they can to meet the complainants at least half way. + +e _____ Governor Pennoyer, in his Thanksgiving Proclamation, takes occasion to deplore the action of Congress concerning silver. It is to be hoped that his novel idea of convert- ing the Thanksgiving proclamation into a treatise on current events will not be gener- ally followed. ——————>+e—__ The manner in which the Senate held out in dealing with a question where the single commodity, silver, was involved, makes it rather disheartening to think of what it may take a notion to do with a matter which contains so many ramifications as the tariff. ———_$ro+e—___.

The street railway companies of Washington are seeking permission to sub- stitute electricity for horse power in that ity, just as_ the South Side company is joing here. The people and the press of the national capital vigorously oppose the shange, and it is not likely that Congress will grant the demands of the railroad peo- le. Brooklyn has the trolley system fast- ened upon it, and the people of that city ate so indignant at the wholesale slaughter due to it that they are on the point of de- molishing the poles and wires.
