4 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY.. January 18, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. — ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washing! dailies. As a News a Advertising Mediam it has petitor. t7 Im order to avoid delays, on ae- count of persoral absence, letters = 1 THE STAR should net be a: any Individual connected with th: fice, but simply to THE STAR, to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. Secretary Carlisle has done nothing but}; his plain duty in giving capital an oppor- tunity to remove governmental embarrass- ment by purchasing fifty millions of five per cent bonds. Nor has the proffer of these securities been made too soon; longer @elay would have subjected the treasury to inexcusable inconvenience without bringing into being a single compensating advantage. Earnestly and with impressivenéss that should have been effective at the Capitol, Secretary Carlisle pleaded for authority which would result in a popular loan—pre- ferable in every respect to the bond issue he is now compelled to make—but Congress was sluggish and blind and careless, so the secretary had to do the best he could. In an interview Mr. Carlisle yesterday re- iterated the opinions expressed by him in his report, and, speaking of the popular Joan, said once more that such bonds would afford the people at large an opportunity to convert their surplus into the form of securities which, while they would be per- fectly safe, would not only increase in value by reason of accummulating interest, but be at all times available as a means of precuring money when needed. Such a bond is nothing but the politician's conscience to prevent refusal to recognize the credentials of the waiting ones, and thus defeat the popular will by turning a majority for one party into a majority for its opponent. ‘The New York Times—intensely demo-| |— cratic but fair—says editorially: “While the Democratic Senators at Trenton who con- stituted a majority of the hold-overs had the technical right to organize and pass upon the credentials of new members, they made a serious mistake in the manner of setting about it. Not only did the four re- publican hold-overs have the right to be present and take part in the proceedings, but the newly-elected members had the right to be present and submit their cre- dentials, and when the doors were closed against them and their entrance to the Sen- ate Chamber was obstructed the whole per- formance assumed the appearance of a po- litical trick. This was confirmed by the Proposition to refer credentials to a special committee, which raised suspicion of a pur- pose to exclude one or more of the new members about the validity of whose elec- tion some question had been made. Not- withstanding the glossing over of the facts in Attorney General Stockton’s statement, there is little doubt that such a purpose ex- isted, and that it had been instigated by certain politicians, including Chairman Mc- Dermott of the Democratic State Com- mittee.” It would seem as though the republicans had also blundered; they should have fought in the democratic camp instead of attempt- ing to organize themselves into a senate, but the blunder does not threaten to hurt them 4s the error of their “snapper” an- tagonists will damage the democratic party in New Jersey. ————~2-o___ There is nothing unreasonable in the idea that Congress will give perm’ssion to sev- eral military, naval and civilian servants of the United States to accept decorations and testimonials presented them by yar- Issue should follow the one provided for and announced in a late edition of The Star yesterday. Fifty millions is a big sum, but it ts not enough to fill the Treasury void. If Congress has the national interests really at heart it will act at once on the popular lean proposition submitted to it by Sec- retary Carlisle. ——__ +++ —__ From all sections of the country and from sources democratic as well as republican]: comes inquiry as to something that will probably be never less mysterious than it now is. The public demand is for informa- tion as to those instructions which Minister Willis received from President Cleveland, but which have not yet been sent to Con- gress or otherwise made public. That such instructions—verbal, probably—passed from the chief executive to his agent is un- questionable, for Mr. Willis is a man of more than ordinary ability and prudence and would never have done the things he regret- fully confesses to have done in Hawaii witn- @ut more authority than is apparent in the @ecuments so far given out for general con- sumption. The seekers after hidden fact may as well give up their quest now as twenty years hence. As weil endeavor to clasp the North Pole, attempt to identify the author of the assault upon the person of the late William Patterson, or discover the reason why the street railway cable never breaks except when traffic is at its heavi- est, as to fathom the depth of secrecy in which President Cleveland, Secretary Gres- ham and Minister Willis have been residing for some time past. — +ee—____ Some time ago there was a good deal of trouble made in this city because a dis- tinguished foreign family stretched a clothesline over the parking which sur- Founded their residence. So much was said concerning the innocent and necessary dis- play that without waiting for any official determination here of their rights in the case they removed the subject of criticism and restored the equilibrium of the city. There is a lesson in their eminently praise- worthy course for the people who seek to plant unsightly trolley poles and string wires promiscuously about the thorough- fares of the capital city. They are not sat- isfied with a reservation. They want the middle of the street. A single plece of ground does not afford them the space which their convenience yearns for. They insist upon successive miles of the city’s territory. Overhead trolley poles and wire, rendered unnecessary by the improved sys- tems that exist, are a far greater municipal disfigurement than a publicly displayed clothesline, to say nothing of the dangers to property and life that characterize the Obstructive trolley nuisance. —_+ e+ —__ In spite of the unfortunate and indis- putable fact that a large proportion of civ- ilized mankind is afflicted with a dread of omens, it is unquestionably true that super- stition of the common sort is but weakness of intellect. The twentieth century is al- most here and yet men who are reputed to be possessed of more than average brain- bower speak of Friday as an unlucky day and object to transacting any business of importance on that subdivision of the week. This has been made especially conspicuous in connection with the United States cruiser Montgomery. That vessel was said to have been launched on Friday, and because such @ thing occurred she has been declared un- lucky, and the two or three accidents which have delayed the cruiser’s completion are accepted as natural consequences of a tempting of Providence. Everything is ready for the Montgomery's official trial to- morrow, but that event will almost surely be delayed because tomorrow happens to be Friday. Could absurdity go much further? —»+e____ ‘The Senate yesterday devoted a consid- erable slice of its valuable time to discuss- img a question about which there still geem to be at Jeast two varieties of opin- fon, although equity and common sense and experience are on one side and par- tisan advantage and personal selfishness re hand in hand on the other. It occa- sionally is the pleasure of some one in pub- Ue life to assail the civil service law, the regulations which have sprung into being under the statute’s sheltering provisions, and the men who belleve in the system which has been established as to appoint- ments in the “classified” service of the government. Very little dissection of the alleged grievance shows that neither the law nor the system can be held responsible for what are complained of as shortcom- ings. The ever active hostility of the polit- ‘eal “striker” is responsibie for ninety-nine ber cent of the cannonading which has for @ mark the Civil Service Commission and its work. oe - —__ Mr. Simpson will never succeed in having &@ new style of overcoat christened after him. —____ ee -—— Legislative difficulties are by no means common in the United States, but the trou- ble which has prevented the New Jersey senate from doing anything but make a spectacle of itself attracts more than the ordinary amount of attention. Of course there has necessarily been a good deal of partisan chatter over the imbroglio, but the strong newspapers—republican and demo- cratic—come very near to agreeing as to the location of the blame. It cannot be ques- tioned that the Senate is a continuing body. The hold-over Senators—as the state attor- ney-general insists they should—may organ- ize and afterward pass upon the credentials of newly-elected members, but in so doing | they upset long-established custom and are unmindful of precedent which is entirely | safe. Usage, under such circumstances as those in question, gives to the holders of | regular and valid credentials the right of instant membership, and such members have up to this time invariably participated in the body's organization and in the sub-| sequent proceedings—even when their own title to a seat was under consideration. To admit the soundness of Attorney-General Stockton’s contention would be to encourage fraud of the most noisome sort, for if the hold-over members of the Senate can prop- erly shut out newly-elected members until| after organization has been effected there ious foreign governments for services ren- dered on peaceful occasions. A great quan- tity of such “material is in tne keeping of the Secretary of State awaitiag the long- delayed congressional verdict. If a frienuiy power desires to make known its apprecia- tion of an American officer it should be permitted to do so in its own way, so long as the fashion does not conflict setiously with American ideas. — oe France has just suppressed an Anarchist newspaper. This step is, however, not likely to do nearly the good that the radical method adopted for suppressing Mr. Vail- lant will accomplish. —_~+s—_____ The war in Brazil may not be up to the maximum mark in the matter of mortality, but it has unquestionably made life much less pleasant for a large number of tele- graph operators. HS Oo It is possible that Mr. Simpson, out of deference to the already lacerated feelings of his constituents, will refrain from in- vesting heavily in the new bond issue. —__+ e+ Mr. Hill having gone on record with em- Phasis in connection with the Senate's con- sent department now intimates that he has @ choice article in the advice line. oo After the Senators get through consider- ing this country’s civil service, Queen Lil might be called on for an off-hand opinion as to its military service, ———_+++_____ It looks as if the Mr. Cockran’s much dis- cussed “turndown” was merely an ordinary case of suspended animation. ———_+ > ____ Some clever playwright could work out very interesting star parts for John LL.

Sudden, “It snow: cried the school boy. at this point He checked his desire to hurrah; For his glee, sad to state, Became quite out of date, As the weather set in for a thaw. And just “De man dat uses de big words,” re- marked Uncle Eben, “may git de ‘plause, but he ain’ nigh so likely ter make plain fclks change deyre min‘s.”” Coni “That your hors: had nothing to do. “Yassir,” was the reply. 't Be. asked the man who “Why—er—what do ycu mean?” “He's bliin’ in ‘is off-eye.”” A Task. “I find it necessary,” remarked Rimmins, “to spend a great deal of thought on the poems I write for the magazines.” “How?” “Seeing that none gets into the manu- script.” Disappointment. There were oysters in the church fair stew. For hours no person spoke. "Twas sad to see them pining for That dear old-fashioned joke. A Hypothesis. “This is very strange,” said Mr. Glub- bins, who was reading the newspaper. “What is strange?” asked his wife. “In the Wilson bill they found ‘hydraulic hose’ scheduled as clothing.” “Well, maybe they came from an estab- lishment where they'd bin waterin’ the stock.”” Profitable Instruction. “So your wife has been to the cooking school,” said one man to another. “Yes, and I'm glad of it.” An incredulous look came over the face of the first speaker. “Did it improve your dinners?” he asked. “No. It convinced her that she doesn't know how to cook, and she has quit try- ing.” soe Leaking Gas and Water Pipes. From the New York Times. Some curious discoveries have been made in Brooklyn as to injuries* caused by the trolley system. Heretofore it had been known that the overhead wires were a dangerous nuisance, and that cars when run at a rapid rate were very destructive | of life and limb. But now it turns out that | the under electric current of the trolley | system escapes at points, hunts out the | nearest conductor that suits its peculiar taste, and when this happens to be a gas- pipe, a water pipe, or a cable of eiectrio| wires coated with lead. it takes to them and in a short time seriously injures or destroys them. It has been found that an iron pipe exposed for not more than thirty days to the mischievous truant current of the trol- ley, at four feet of distance, has been so far ecten by it as no longer to be tight for either water or gas. In another case ‘the current had traversed a distance of twelve feet in order to attack a cable, which it | had disabled for a hundred feet or more. It is clear,that this tendency of the trolley current must be promptly dealt with or a very short time, probably six months, would suffice to make very serious havoc in the streets through which the trolley passes, soe Pranksome Willie. From the Boston Globe. When the German emperor's prankish disposition takes the form of ordering an officer to ride a horse nearly to death, it is about time that his chaplain should per- suade him to baci his a of humor. ‘The English High Shake.
