NOYES................Editor. ——— SHE EVENING STAR hes 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. G7 Im order te avoid delays, on ac- fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, mecording to t or arpose. It needs not the prescience of the seer to outline the probability that Judge Gieg- erich will soon be intensely unpopular among the practical politicians who shape the municipal destinies of New York city. ‘The judge has hitherto been quite success- ful in avoiding all semblance of fame and is probably unknown to the majority of those who dwell in Gotham, but now he is on the highway that sometimes leads to exalted recognition, but more frequently to political cremation and pecuniary dis- tress. Recently the judge was putting in many hours each day hearing the applica- dons of aliens who desired to become citi- ens, and instead of rushing the applicants through in the machine-like way so dear to the New York bosses he actually went to the extreme of trying to find out whether those who petitioned for possession of an honor that should be priceless were really entitled to the distinction. One of the un- naturalized testified that he had lived in this country for twenty-five years, that he did not know whether the government was Fepublican or monarchical, that Tammaity Hall made the laws, that he did not know who Grover Cleveland was, that he knew nothing about George Washington except that Washington “was a smart man,” and that he never read the newspapers because “they are filled with lies.” Whereupon Judge Giegerich denied the application for citizenship and gave free expression to an opinion that the applicant lacked ordinary intelligence. “When,” said the judge, “you know something about this country, know who Washington was and can tell who makes the laws and where they are made and who carries them out, call again and you may be able to become a citizen.” The Petitioner was astounded. He claimed to have a “pull” with Mr. Croker and de- parted exceeding wroth. Judge Giegerich needs be careful; for Tammany will “git ‘im ef he don’t watch out.” +o —__ Secretary Herbert's first annual report as ruler of the republic’s navy is an interest- ing document. The ideas expressed therein are broad and modern and the Secretary evidently appreciates to the full the neces- sity for strong national representation on the ocean. To those who have watched and who continue to watch the increase of our floating fortresses the most vital part of the Secretary's report is that which deals with the employment of labor at navy yards. If the construction or repair of our tronclads was delegated to mechanics appointed sole- ly for political reasons it would not need a prophet to foretell the end, and that is why the Secretary says: “There is no doubt that the system of employing laborers with- out reference to their politics and making merit the sole test of their retention and ad- vancement is greatly to the benefit of the government.” Of course it is, but there are 0 many men of public prominence who will not make the admission. What does a Sen- ator or a Representative know about the shipbuilding ability or inability of a con- stituent who wants a job? The Secretary asks that question himself in a less direct ‘way, and then declares that a misfortune of the method of taking on laborers to oblige their friends, and not because of their capacity or skill, is that the influertte that procures an appointment is frequently used to secure the retention of an incompetent employe. Believers in business-like meth- ods of conducting governmental affairs will be pleased to know that Secretary Herbert pledges himself “to investigate thoroughly every case of alleged irregularity, and when infractions of the rules are established such steps will be taken and such orders issued as will prevent repetition of the offenses.” ——_+ e+ _ If the “fire-flend” would always be as dis- eriminating as it was when it destroyed the nest of gambling dens at Jackson City decent people would not complain, and there would be no tears shed if every such disorderly and crime-breeding resort should go up im smoke. No one knows how seri- ously the temporarily ruined “Monte Carlo” affected this city and there is shame in the fact that but little has been done to dam the source of so many malignant influences. ‘When cholera threatened to invade a some- what remote state there was wondrous energy of the preventive sort, but the Jack- gon City evil, by which hundreds of young men have been forever wrecked, was per- mitted to live and flourish. —_+ +> ___ The proposition to meet the revenue de- ficit by increasing the tax on whisky, a hurtful luxury, is much more equitable and wise than the proposition to raise the same amount by taxing thrift and a sensitive conseience through the imposition of an income tax either upon individuals or cor- porations. ——+ + > —__ The effort to suppress gambling in Ger- many) is adhered to.

The New York police were fully prepared to discourage any effort on the part of the college young men to make Thanksgiving day an illegal holiday. —qjs+-s—____ ‘The poverty of American musical genius was strikingly apparent yesterday. Wher- ever Phanksgiving services were held—and there were such in the great majority of Protestant churches throughout the United States—choirs and congregations sang fer- vently the words of the finest of our pa- triotie hymns to the air of “God Save the Queen.” In the hymnals—which of all books should be honest—the tune is called “America,” but the change of name merely wives to the theft the doubtful quality of boldness and parallels the act of the dog- stealer who provides a valuable capture with a new cognomen and another tag. Many residents of this country are entirely ignorant of the tune’s origin and this num- ber will naturally increase until by-and- by it will be claimed that Great Britain stole its national air from us, and then there will be a row. But the open larceny ef “God Save the Queen” is not the only Offense of that sort. Francis Scott Key wrote his soul-thrilling poem to music that had been sung for many years previous| by every glee club in England, and al- though there is no comparason between “The Star Spangled Banner” and the an- eient ode “To Anacreon in Heaven,” yet the melody and harmony are undoubtedly one. Then we are given to singing a patri- otic combination which we term “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean,” and that is the most conscienceless theft of all. Both words and music are English, with the one execption of the word “Columbia.” In the original the song is “Britannia the Gem of | the Ocean,” and it is, although old, ex- tremely popular in the dominions of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, but without ex- Pertencing a qualm we appropriated the @ntire production, substituted “Columbia” for “Britannia” and now sing it with as much vim as though words and music had been written by one of the secretaries of our navy. These shortcomings are being discussed just now and it has been suggest- ed that “Hail Columbia” be adopted as the national air. To any one possessed of ears that convey to the brain accurate impres- sions of sound the proposition will seem almost ridiculous. Aside from the fact that the melody is Italian in its origin is the consideration that it is jiggy of movement and absurdly unfit. Its harmonies are crude and thin. There is a total absence of anything like dignity or warmth. It is not worthy to be mentioned in the same hour with the Austrian “Hymn to the Em- peror” or the Russian national hymn or the songs that respectively accelerate the circulation of French and German blood. American composers—generally of lesser note—have feebly essayed to fill the void, but so far without avail. It is preferable, but not material, that the air be entirely original, but it should be within the com- pass of the average human voice. Too great range is the vital fault of “The Star Spangled Banner; had it been less alti- tudinous in its tendencies it would have long ago been accepted as our national air. It has been charged that the tune of “God Save the Queen” is German in its origin; if the allegation be true it is not important, for the air has no place in German musical history. Our misdemeanor consists in hav- ing taken the distinctively national air of Great Britain and promulgated it as our own. Why can we not have an American national air? Does the almighty dollar hamper inspiration? - oe ——_— Admiral Stanton’s recent experiences have evidently developed within him a whole- some timidity concerning the didn’t-know-it- was-loaded interview.

Reports from cities where the tr metnod of street car propulsion te. ann show that it is accompanied with greater danger than any other system and that it has many additional inconveniences. A re- cent dispatch in the tHeraid states that the casualties caused in Brooklyn by the trolley cars for the last six months included the death of forty persons, 118 persons seriously injured and very many smaller injuries. The amount of property destroyed by col- lisions with teams and otherwise is very great. A similar story comes from Cleve- land. That city is said to be roofed over with a network of electrical wires, the trol- ley wires being numerous and of greater weight than other single wires, so that they are a more immiaent source of danger. The recent history of the Cleveland trolley sys- tem includes the loss of twenty-five lives and as many more persons helplessly crip- pled. An instance of the constant peril in which the trolley system places passengers im the cars occurred in Chicago Sunday night. A Calumet electric car was crossing the railroad tracks at Ninety-third street, when the trolley jumped from the wire, leaving the car standing still. A fast pas- senger train was approaching on the track where the car stopped. The motor man could not replace the trolley. Had the car been able to keep in motion it would have | got out of the way of the approaching train. But tt could not move. Fortunately there was enough time for the passengers to scramble out of the car before it was hit by the coming train and knocked into splinters. Until electric power shall be placed under | better controL and until it can be applied without the use of overhead wires, it should not be adopted as a street car motor where the streets are as crowded and the railroad crossings are as numerous as in Chicago. see ——_ Cause for Congratulation. From the Omaha Bee. The world’s fair finances turn out much better than was anticipated a few months ago, although not what some of its enthusi- asts predicted before the gates were upened. On the whole, the financial outcome of this stupendous undertaking must be a matter of congratulation for all who are imme-| diately eoncemed. oe | A Lingering Evil. | From the New York Evening Post. When a state elects such an arrant dem-} agogue as Waite, the populist governor of | Colorado, it is apt to find that the mis- chief lasts a long time. The recent county elections in Colorado showed that the peo- ple are tired of populism, but Waite’s term of office lasts a year longer. —— Has Earned Repose. From the Chicago Tribune.
