THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY.............Jamuary 23, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES.,.............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the othe: Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo com- petitor. =z eount pe THE STAR any individual co fice. but simply te THE STAR, the Editorial or Business Departme! according to tenor or purpose. ‘That President Cleveland has tenacity of purpose, and that admirable but sometimes misused quality sv aptly termed the cour- age of his convictions is again made evident in his nomination of Wheeler H. Peckham of New York to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. When the President nominated Mr. Hornblower to fill the still-existing vacancy he may not have figured on the open and active an- tagonism of Senator David Bennett Hill, but when he saw his nominee defeated through Hill's energy he undoubtedly made up his mind to keep up the fight and to present a candidate against whom none of the obections ostensibly urged against Mr. Hornblower would lie, but who would be doubly objectionable on the ground of op- position to Mr. Hornblower, namely, anti- Maynardism and anti-Hillism. Conserva- tive democrats of the Cleveland school sug- gested several names of eminent lawyers— most of them residents of other states than New York—to whom not even Senator Hill could take exception, but the President was aroused, had accepted the challenge of his deadliest enemy and was ready for the next joust. If Hornblower had offended by his participation in an assault on Hill's friend Maynard how much greater must have been the offending of Peckham, who led the army in which Hornblower was, as it were, but a private soldier? At all times, in all places, under all circumstances, orally and through the press, Wheeler H. Peckham has pursued David B. Hill, has attacked Hill measures, exposed Hill methods and in every way keen intellect could suggest has made Hill uncomfortable—if such a thing be possible. But, busy as Mr. Peckham has been in endeavoring to wipe out Hillism, he has had ample time in which to build up a very considerable reputation in the practice of law; so much of a reputation that Senator Hill will find it difficult to prove the nom!- ree unfit for confirmation, The conflict be- tween Cleveland and Hill, therefore, resolves itself into a political quarrel, and it re- mains to be seen how the republican Sea- ators who voted against Hornblower will vote as to Peckham. In some respects the situation parallels that which existed when President Garfield ignored Senators Conk- lng and Platt in the matter of New York appointments, but no one expects Hill to resign his seat in the Senate in the event of @ vietory for the President, nor does any one imagine if he did that Murphy would may, “Me, too.” And while this serio-comic strife of the factional sort is going on over a judicial position important legislative conclusions are delayed and the Supreme Court of the United States is seriously crippled. The public reasonably demands Prompt action on the nomination. — + 0 It is fortunate that the joint subcommit- tee of the Senate and House having in charge the selection of a site for the new government printing office did not wait for a final agreement upon the exact location, but that the Senators decided to go ahead on their own account and start the ball rolling by presenting their views of the matter. The report presented yesterday by Mr. Vest. and printed in full in The Star, shows that the committee has gone into the matter with care and with a determina- tion to obtain the best site. It is to be hoped that Mr. Vest will succeed in his effort to secure favorable action by the Senate at the earliest possible moment, and that then the House will not stand in the ‘way of a speedy and final settlement of the ease. It fs likely that when the bill reaches the House there will be an effort to secure the substitution of another site, and per- haps that site will be adopted by the lower House. Then will come a ‘ight in confer- ence. Whatever the result it is to be prayed that the legislators will not forget the following words of Mr. Vest’s report: “It is of the highest importance to provide at once adliticnal accommodations for the government printing office. The crowded condition of the present building and the de- fects in its structure render it not oniy possible, but probable, that a tragedy may be enacted there at any time far more dis- astrous than that of the Ford's Theater building. It becomes, then, of the highest importance to secure additional accommo- dation with as little delay as possible.” Members of Congress and citizens alike will welcome the provision in the bill sub- mitted by Mr. Vest that places the con- struction of the building in the hands of | Gen. Casey. There will never be any rea-| fon to regret such a provision. With the | monument, the State Department, and the Library building in splendid evidence of the care, skill, promptness, and economy of Gen. Casey it is not difficult to foresee a quick, safe and inexpensive construction of a badly needed building. The selection | of Gen. Casey means, of course, the reten- tion in the public service of Mr. Bernard Green, whose good work is such an excel- lent sample of the wonderful system of as- sistance that has contributed so largely to the success of the chief of engineers, —-+ ee The young gentleman on Mr. St. Gaud. ens’ world’s fair medal is perhaps the only person who has managed to keep cool throughout the warmth of controversy. oo If Mr. Hill's administration chill contin- ues to develop Mr. Simpson will wish, when he enters the Capitol, that he had not sac- rificed that overcoat. eo Mr. Tom Johnson has as yet made no overtures to Mr. Dalzell with a view to have him act as advance agent for his steel rail business. + ¢ = _____ Despite the continuous and wonderful extension of educational facilities through- out every section of the country there still are—and in public life-men who advocate complete demolition of civil-service theories THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 98, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. inordinate desire to pay private indebted- ness out of public funds. Senator Hoar ‘stood on solid ground when he said he could Not conceive a good reason why the postal service of this country, the custom service of this country in its lower department, the consular service of the country in its lower department, should not be organized on the same principle and in the same way in which banks or railroads or manufactories or insurance companies or all the other great business conveniences and instrumen- talities of a great commercial and manufac- turing nation are organized; he propounded @ question to which there is but an affirma- tive answer when he asked “Is there any reason why the persons who give the people of a country town in New England or in the South their letters at the post-office in the morning should have applied to him the test of whether he fayors or does not favor @ particular political. administration?” Sen- ator Perkins of Califernia gave testimony of the practical sort when he said that the nation’s business should be conducted on business principles, “There is not a corpo- ration,” he declared, ‘not a manufactory, not a banking institution or any successful manufacturing establishment in this coun- try that gives a man a position on account of his political affiliation. I have the honor to control in part a company which employs 3,000 men, and I do not know the politics or the religion of five employes of that com- pany. I am inclined to think from the last Presidential lection they were all demo-~ crats; but be that as it may, not one of them has had sufficient political influence to obtain a position in the employ of the company. He is employed upon his merits alone, and upon his knowledge of the busi- ness of the company and its affairs. Why sfeuld not the same wise and judicial rules that make a private business successful control the management of the affairs of the government?” It is more than non- sense to imagine that the American people have any sympathy with those who assail the civil service law and the workings of the commission created by that legislation. Within ten years the public man who stands in front-of the reform train will com- mit suicide. ——_--2—_____ The members of the select committee of the Senate for the inquiry into the Ford's Theater disaster show a commendable de- sire to keep away from all controversies that have arisen in and out of court as to the exact personal Mability of Col. Ains- worth or his subordinates or contractors. The inquiry upon which they are engaged is one that aims to fix the pecuniaty re- sponsibility of the government, and it is apparent that the committee will waste no time in a useless see-sawing over mat- ters that are not pertinent to that ques- tion. Some of the survivors of the acci- dent and many of the families of the dead are in actual need of the aid which, no one doubts, is due from the government, and it is a fortunate fact that the committee has entered at once upon a systematic in- vestigation. Whatever delay may now en- sue will doubtless be caused by the failure of the claimants themselves to place the evidence of their cases promptly before the cemmittee. In most cases there will be no need whatever of any procrastination, as the machinery of the War Department and of the Senate will be used to place the application blanks in the handy of all who deserve them. There may be stray heirs of deceased clerks, however, at a distance, but the committee will spare no effort to reach all such and to get from them full statements as to their claims. —— +++ —-__ An interesting fragment of testimony from Hi ‘ii comes from Admiral Irwin, who commands the forces of the United States in that disturbed region. In an of- ficial report, the substance of which ap- peared in yesterday's Star, the admiral said that “foreign influence, inimical to the interests of the United States, is secretly at work here, ag it is wherever we ha’ any trade interests, and that influence will account for many of the misstatements in the papers.” There has been a super- abundance of foreign influence pulling hard on all the wires that have one end at Honolulu. British diplomacy has been es- pecially active and by !ts shrewdness se- cured information from the ex-queen's friends in the executive branch of this go" ernment which was for a long time there- after denied to the people of the United States. Everybody interested in the strug- gle for Mberty and good government in Hawaii must have’seea that so far as our national administration was concerned its tendency was pro-Lili and pro-British— synonymous terms anyhow. Admiral Irwin has not made a discovery; but he has clinched @ fact that should not be lost sight of. er How long David B.

This system of affairs—truly lam- entable—was made conspicuously appar- ent in the Senate last week when, on a resolution calling upon the committee on ‘ service and retrenchment to examine and report upon the condition of the service of the United States, it was Several times suggested that the repeal of the law would be a good and generally beneficial thing. In the minds of some there was an impression that the law had been stretched so as to cover an area not contemplated when the bill was transmuted into a statute, and there was loud objection to civil service interference with the re- Mmoval of fourth-class postmasters. In the various styles of adverse argument there Was no attempt to prove that the civil- service system was unbusinesslike or that it resulted in damage to the national in- terests; there was nothing but a wall for control of offices now beyond political con- trol.
