4 — THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1893—-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. November 30, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular a Permanest circulation in Washing. ton more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of bse letters THE STAR re: dto connected with the of- ly to THE STAR, or to the ‘Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. On this day, when thankfulness fs in the hearts of all Americans who have anything to be thankful for, there should go up ex- pressions of gratitude from those who love good government because President Cleve- land has done the righteous thing in remov- ing Civil Service Commissioner George D. Johnston. There is no violation of confi- @ence in the statement that Mr. Johnston is mot nor has he ever been a believer in civil service reform. He is not in sympathy with the idea that business principles should be applied to the conduct of the gov- ernment’s clerical work. He would be Pleased to have the civil service commis- sion (provided he was a commissioner) con- tent itself with drawing its salary and mak- ing a perfunctory annual report while the spoilsmen attended to the distribution of the clerkships in the various departments. It is not surprising, therefore, that the commissioners disagreed as to the policy which should be pursued. The friction in- creased steadily and culminated when Com- missioner Johnston declined to sign the commission's annual report and insisted on filing with the President his opinions as a minority. The President was not slow to see the danger and he gave Mr. Johnston ample opportunity to resign with the privi- lege of accepting an honorable position in the consular service; failure to resign brought about instant decapitation. It must please all Americans who favor an honest and business-like method of ap- pointing to public places to know that President Cleveland has in this occurrence proved himself the steadfast and fearless friend of the cause of civil service reform. oe If fair-minded Americans ever had any doubt as to the prejudiced incapacity of James H. Blount while he was acting as President Cleveland’s Minister-Paramount in Hawaii, that doubt will surely be remov- ed by careful perusal of the statement given to the press by Ex-Minister John L. Stevens and published in this issue of The Star. No equitable mind can longer be misled either by the ex-parte testimony gathered by the President's personal agent or by the hate- engendered cophistries of Secretary Gres- ham. There is every evidence of truthful- ness in the aggressive defense to which Mr. Stevens has been compelled by his bitterly partisan critics and maligners. Occasion- ally Mr. Stevens deals in comments of a personal nature, but for this he has ample precedent and sufficient cause. He has been mistreated as no other representative of this or any other great government ever was, has been accused of conspiracy and of wilful deceit, and has responded to those grave charges with testimony that cannot be upset and argument of the incontro- vertible sort. But the personal phase of the discussion, importayt as it must be to those whose reputations are at stake, is really of less moment than that to which Mr. Stevens directs attention when he says that “those familiar with international rules and pro- ceedings, and have had diplomatic experi- ence, must be astonished that Secretary Gresham and his commissioner should make before the world such a persistent effort to discredit the recent agents of the depart- ment they now represent, and which was once represented by Thomas Jefferson, Will- fam L. Marcy, William H. Seward and James G. Blaine.” Everybody who has an idea beyond ward politics will at once recog- nize the accuracy of Mr. Stevens’ judgment im asserting that “the general adoption of such a policy by our Department of Foreign Affairs could not fail to weaken greatly our influence with foreign countries in any future effort and serve to make the Ameri- can diplomatic service contemptible in the eyes of the world.” Mr. Stevens very chari- tably makes allowance for Mr. Blount’s ignotance of dipiomatic matters, but the Ration cannot easily excuse the engage- ment in so delicate a matter of incompe- tence and prejudice when judicial ability is plentiful. ——__+e+ ____ Pessimists and rtis frequently synonymous terms—may intimate that as a nation we have but little to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day. It is undoubted- ly true that there are many moze unem- ployed men and women in this country now than there were last year or perhaps in any other year in all our history, but it takes more than a few months of commerciai adversity to obliterate the feeling of grati- tude which always makes itself manifest at this season. In no other land on the face of the globe is there more reason for thankfulness. Distrust, bad government, burdensome taxation, poverty and anarchy trouble the great nations of Europe; on this side of the Atlantic there is no such thing as unconque-able depression and no con- ditions that cannot soon be improved. Petty troubles may annoy for a time, and legisiative errors cause temporary distress, but even now the clouds are vanishing and the briefly-obscured face of our industrial sun shines with warmth and light that in- crease daily. Nowhere is¢@there a better country, nowhere a place where all classes and conditions of men have superior oppor- tunities, nowhere a section of earth that has in it and on it so many desirable things. Therefore let everybody give thanks! see The Wilson tariff bill is “sound and states- manilike,” it “proposes to destroy our in- dependence and leave us subject tothe chances and changes of foreign markets,” and is “a sound protectionist document from one end tp the other.” Of course, these opinions are not from one source—they are the utterances of men, who, undoubtedly, Fepresent many other men—but they show how widely bright minds may differ and how one man’s meat is another man’s poison. ——__+ee+ —_ For the information of those whose finan- ¢ial enthusiasm will soon find vent in de- manding of Congress license to operate overhead trolley cars in this city it is stat- ed that success has att2nded the extensive experiments that have been made with stor- age battery cars on the Second avenue road | in New York. These really satisfying ef- forts to make practical and commercially | acceptable the ideal theory as to street car Propulsion have attracted considerable at- tention and have, so the critics all say, demonstrated beyond a peradventure that the day of the crude and dangerous over- head system is rapidly nearing its close. For years it has pleased the electrical ex- Pert to condemn off-hand the conclusions of every inventor who dared intimate that Storage batteries could ever furnish the ne- cessary power without excessively heavy batteries and proportionately heavy ex- Pense. Much of this denunciation had its origin in that professional jealousy which has hampered the world’s progress to a con- siderable extent, some sprang from ignor- ance, but most of it came from those who were employed by the electrical “combines” to decry any kind of power or mechanical tmprovement that threatened to supersede | the overhead trolley and thus render use- less a good deal of special machinery and an expensive variety of patterns. But the World will move even when the big trolley Syndicates do not want ‘t to, so there have | come, successively, the underground trolley and the storage battery. The former has gone far beyond the experimental stage, the adaptation of the idea having been un- interruptedly Pesth, while another and seemingly a bet- ter one works continuously on the U street branch of our Rock Creek road. years the Metropolitan Company here ssful in the city of Buda-| For several | wrestled with all manner of storage bat- teries, but never finding precisely the right thing went out of the business of trying to find a substitute for horses. The Ecking- ton Company also had some experiences with storage batteries, but that condemna- tion should have come was not strange when it is remembered that the original management did and the present proprietors do favor the obstructing pole and deadly wire system. The Engineering Magazine— one of the leading trade journals, and there- fore not overwarm in behalf of storage batteries as applied to street car movement —Ssays of the Second avenue tests that the work is being carried on in the most thor- ough and systematic manner, under the supervision of skillful and experienced electrical engineers, and that great pains are being taken to determine what is in fact the vital point of the whole problem, viz., the actual cost of operation. “The ques- tion,” says Mr. Franklin L. Pope, who con- ducts the electricity department of the mag- azine, “is no longer merely one of prac- ticability, for it is admitted that on lines with moderate grades, not too much ob- structed with snow in winter, storage bat- tery traction may be depended upon to per- form the service required.” The cost of power on the Second avenue line, including everything properly belonging under that head, is discovered to be but a fraction over nine cents per car-mile. Horse traction cost frcm ten to eleven cents per car-mile. ———_ +e President Cleveland did not err when he made a brigadier general of Col. Elwell S. Otis.
