THE EVENING — STAR. WASHINGTON, MONDAY..............November 6, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has me competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial Bast- mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- ‘vidual connected with the office. In very many respects the city of Wash- ington is unique. Some of the uniquities are desirable and some are not. The White House and the Capitol are here, the great- est of Washington monuments is with us tinually, there are no avenues like ours, is there elsewhere such a street rail- management as controls the Ecking- and Soldiers’ Home Company. It is thin the bounds of moderate statement that there has been considerable dissatisfaction with the service ren- that company. The schedule has and rearranged and disar- until confusion was an easy conse- quence and when it finally reached a con- that might be regarded as fixed it to be inconvenient for those who either patronize the road or walk. ‘Then came trouble as to transfers and there ‘Was reasonable demand for the erection of shelters wherever the company dumped a carload of passengers out to await the ar- srval of a connecting vehicle. The human Proclivity to grumble was also encouraged by the extreme deliberation which was the agate sa i Dairing on New York avenue. All these and a few other things combined to hasten the coming of a day when patience ceased to be @ virtue and then the dwellers along the route of the company petitioned the District Commissioners for at least a show- ing of sympathetic interest. The right of petition is freely admitted by the world’s great legislative bodies and is really deserv- ing encouragement, but its exercise as to the shortccmings of a highly favored cor- poration aroused the awful ire of Mr. W. Kesley Schoet, vice president and manager of the Eckington Company. He assails the petitioners as liars and ignorami, lineal descendants of Ananias and the people of Boeotia; he refers to them with contempt as “office holders” and “kickers” and is prolific of extraordinary advice. At various times, but not frequently, this city has been treated to magnificent displays of assurance, but none of the efforts that have gone into history begin to compare with that which is evident in Manager Schoepf’s advice to those who complain of overcrowded cars. “About one hundred office holders,” says he, “ride on the cars, and, as they all seem to put off taking the cars until the last moment, they crowd into the two cars which bring them to their offices just on the moment. If the car on which they are riding happens to be the least bit late, the “kickers,” of which number your peti- tioner seems to be a part, commence to grumble and condemn the management of the road; if they had erergy enough to crawl out of ted ten minutes sooner and take an earlier car, I have no doubt that they would not only have plenty of room, but very often have the whole car to them- selves.” It has generally been the aim of street railway managers to so adapt their schedule as to accommodate their patrons, but Mr. Schoepf is not of that sort. He is » like the shoemaker who wanted his cus- tomer to have his corns and bunions trim- med and who became indignant because the customer insisted on having the shoes made to fit his feet rather than pare his feet down to fit the shoes. —— see —_— Medical and sanitary science combined have won great victories over death in the past half century. Diseases once dreaded and counted as among the most formidable and destructive in the forces marshaled by the grim commander have been reduced to almost complete subjection. Life has been made more secure and with its health the .happiness of the civilized world has been promoted. Still there are frightful foes to be met, diseases with which the People have become so familiar that their ‘mames strike no fear to the heart, yet * which annually claim victims in such num- bers as would cause a reign of terror, if a new and unfamiliar scourge wrought the destruction. Chief among these great ene- mies of life is tuberculosis, or consump- tion. Recently organized efforts have been made to bring all the batteries of science to bear upon the strongholds of consump- tion, and the hope is entertained that be- fore many years vital statistics will show @ great reduction in the mortality from this disease. The Star has called attention to efforts that are being made to check the spread of the disease through contact with and infection from consumptive patients. * Another movement in the same direction is now officially suggested in a report made by Prof. Hird of the District health office. «This report is of especial interest in Wash- ington, as its recommendations propose to prevent, so far as careful inspection can do it, the introduction of the disease into this city from one source, which Prof. Hird be- Meves may account for many cases that seem to have a mysterious origin. He re- fers to the milk supply of the city and quotes sanitary authorities to show that the germs of tuberculosis, as well as other diseases, are conveyed in milk. It is pro- Posed to establish a system of inspection on dairy farms, from which the city’s milk . Supply is obtained, which will discover the Presence of tuberculosis in cattle or any other bad conditions and prevent the send- ing to the city of milk of unwholesome or dangerous character. The inspections of the product made in the city do not suffice, for the work to be effective must be begun on the dairy farm. These suggestions by Prof. Hird are in line with those made by a com- mittee of the Sanitary League and will Feetive most hearty support from every quarter, excepting. perhaps, some of the dairymen. Their adoption may be an im- portant step in the general movement against consumption. ———~++s—_____ In the retirement of Adjutant General Williams the army loses a most useful officer and the United States the services of @ soldier than whom there are none better. —_+++—____ If David B.

The London Chronicle, one of the strongest of British liberal journals, assails both the dministration and the appointee. “Mr. Roosevelt,” said the Chronicle, “who is a man of great wealth, wished to spend his inherited money abroad, and so he, like Mr. Van Alen, paid his money down and now, without the slightest knowledge of the work, !s appointed to a position of responsi- bility and dignity. But what makes this last Job the more outrageous is that to ™make room for this ambitious millionaire, Mr. Henry White, a man appointed eight years ago by President Cleveland himself, who performed his duties so weil that Pres- ident Harrison, a political opponent, de- clined to remove him, is now sent about his business. Civil servants who are honest men cannot save $10,000 every four years to buy their positions, and so they are given this warning that offices are for sale to the highest bidder. Mr. White, therefore, has been a victim of the present policy of mil- lionaire civil service inaugurated by a civil service reform President.” The Chronicle would cease to be angered at the admints- tration did it have even a slight compre- hension of the pressure which is brought to bear on the removing and appointing power. President Cleveland has successfully with- stood many forcible temptations to over- turn the doctrines of civil service reform, but human endurance fs only a feeble some- thing after all and has narrow limits. President Cleveland himself said that “‘pub- lic office is a public trust” and the demo- cratic convention of 1992 repeated and em- phasized the aphorism, but heated and in- tensely partisan campaigns are destructive of the higher morals and it has thus come to pass that in several extremely promi- nent instances a public office is regarded as a private “snap;” expensive, perhaps, and therefore the more exclusively private. ———+ 02 —___ While popular interest in political affairs will probably center tomorrow on the cam- paign in Ohio, the attention of those who are striving to secure cleanliness and hon- esty in state and municipal management will be directed principally toward the Em- pire state and especially toward Brooklyn. In the so-called “City of Churches” a ter- rific struggle is in progress between the decent people and Hugh McLaughlin's “ring,” the latter being one of the most corrupt organizations that ever fastened it- self upon any community. The “ring” can- didate for mayor has already served a term and so pliant was he that the “ring” con- cluded it could do no better than give him renomination. But it takes more than the ring” to elect, and although the election machinery ts in the hands of the “boss” and his creatures there is a possibility of the indecencies and outrages that have dis- turbed Brooklyn for some time past being re- buked at tomorrow’s polls. On both sides there is great energy, the robbers and the robbed being equally in earnest. The meth- ods are wholly unlike, the ringsters bullying the illiterate and the weak, while the reform element argues with facts and figures. The danger consequent upon the mixing of poli- tics and municipal management has been shown by the activity of the police in behalf of the boss and his candidate; their bull- dozing will compel thousands to vote against their convictions. Morally inexcusable as such conduct fs, it is too common in all the cities, whether great or small, Washington atone excepted. Here the municipal powers content themselves with attending strictly to business and here, and only here, does the public receive, with few exceptions, full value for every dollar of its investment. ——__ _+« + ___ Senator David B. Hill has said that “it is likely that every democrat whose name has been sent to the Senate will be con- firmed if he loyally supports the regular democratic ticket this fall. No others have any claim on the party.” The New York Times thinks this utterance is aimed at Mr. Hornblower, “who joined in the Rar As- sociation’s condemnation of Maynard's theft” and whose nomination to a Supreme Court judgeship has not yet been acted on by the Senate. The Times is probiibly right. Senator Hill is a believer in ma- chine politics, and properly so, for without the machine he might still have been in ward politics. The machine has no con- science and it will surely punish or en- deavor to punish those who dare to act independently and decently. Should May- nard be defeated tomorrow Hill will work for revenge, but with the chances against him in the Hornblower matter. Mr. Hill is not all of the Senate just-yet, nor is it likely he will ever be a majority for any notable length of time. ——_— +o.

Bewnre of the Trolley. From the New York World. ‘The g-and jury of Kings county has taken notice of the great dangers attending the trolley system of surface railroads in Brook- lyn. It was high time. The record of kill- ing and maiming during the last few months is an appalling one. The jury re- commends that the speed of such cars shall not exceed the rate of ten miles an hour on that part of the line where they are run fastest; that they shall not be allowed to in- crease speed to make up for delays; that they shall be equipped with some kind of fender that will lesson the peril of serious accidents, and that some new and efficient system of official control shall be establish- ed to enforce any regulations that are made. This is all very well; but Brooklyn’s mistake was in permitting these dangerous cars to occupy its crowded streets at all. It is little better than authorizing murder for gain. It is for New York to take warn- ing. The Broadway cable cars are suffi- ciently prolific of trouble, and there will doubtless be more when the 3d avenue line is in operation.
