THE EVENING STAR has a regular ané permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other m dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- I absence, letters to dressed to Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. aS Senator David B. Hill is in danger of losing his reputation for shrewdness. Here- tofore no one has accused the empire state’s senior Senator of lacking political discernment, but there are several people who are being rapidly convinced that Mr. Hill's perceptive sense has dulied consid- erably of late. This conclusion has been reached since it became generally known that the Senator has determined to oppose any efforts President Cleveland may make to bring about the confirmation of Wheeler Hazard Peckham, nominated to fill the vacancy on the United States Supreme bench caused by the death of Justice Blatehford and prolonged by the Senate’s refusal to confirm the nomination of Will- fam B. Hornblower. Senator Hill's suc- cessful fight against Mr. Hornblower was actuated by a desire to get even with the Rominee because he had recently assisted in upsetting some of the Senator's cherished plans for the advancement of machine methods in New York politics. Similar ob- jection is made to Mr. Peckham and with infinitely more of reason. Never since the day when democrats of spirit revolted against the arbitrary methods of Hillism has Mr. Peckham missed an opportunity to do the arch-adversary all possible dam- age, and unless his energy is diverted into other channels he will doubtless continue te annoy all those whom he has reason to regard as enemies of good government. Would it not seem, therefore, as though Senator Hill was somewhat shortsighted in obstructing Mr. Peckham’s exit from New York politics? If Mr. Peckham tekes his seat on the Supreme bench he becomes &@ nonenfty so far as partisanship is con- cerned, and his voice is forever hushed on topics evidently distasteful to Senator Hill. It may be, though, that Senator HUI has no aspirations of the political kind, does not expect to bé a candidate for any- thing and is simply engaged in the liquida- tion of old obligations. ——_ +02 The Star has decided to change its sys- tem of associated press collection of the world’s news, to sever its relations with the United Press, and to connect itself with the Associated Press, and it feels that it's readers are entitled to an early announce- ment of this decision. This change is not attributable to any dissatisfaction with the mews service of the United Press or to any aa disagreement or uncongeniality tween the representatives of The Star and those of the United Press. On the con- trary, The Star’s personal relations with the United Press officials, and especially with the genial and efficient southern man- ager, Mr. P. V. DeGraw, have been uni- formly pleasant and are severed with re- gret. The Star makes the change because it believes that the Associated Press, in the management of which all the associated newspapers have am equal voice, is organ- ized upon the only correct basic principle and is erected upon the only foundation which. will insure a permanent structure. ‘The Star allies itself with other newspa- pers constituting the Associated Press with the deliberate judgment that its permanent news efficiency and its perma- nent business interests will be largely pro- moted by this course. —-- +02 ,__ It is hoped that every empleye of the government will read and take as addressed to himself the appeal made by the citizens’ committee on canvass. The department clerks form a large part of the community. They are among the best citidens of Wash- ington, supplying the substantial support of the churches and of all the good insti- tutions of the city. It is natural, then, that when lack of employment brings great suffering upon another large part of the community that an appeal for help should ~ be made to the department clerks, whose incomes, fertunately, do not suffer on ac- count of “shut downs” or business depres- sion. This appeal, too, would be made with full confidence that the response would be a generous one, for the clerks have never failed to give liberally, when the cause was good. The committee, how- ever, is encumbered by being unable to make a personal canvass of the depart- ments, the cabinet having decided it un- ‘wise to permit such a canvass. They therefore ask that the clerks meet them half way and use such means as the com- mittee has provided for collecting these contributions. ——____+ + __ __ Im the course of yesterday's senatorial @ebate on the straddling resolution as to Hawaii which says as little as possible, Senator Gray, the President's champion, said that the President had sent to the Hawaiian Islands “a gentleman to see with his eyes and hear with his ears what the President could not see or hear with his own.” And Commissioner Paramount Blount seems to have succeeded admirably. He not only saw and heard things that the Presi- “dent could not see or hear, but his eves Deheld sights as through an English mon- ocle, while his tympanum was agitated by sounds that impartial American ears were unconscious of. In fact, Mr. Blount saw very many things that were not there. ——__ + e+ —___ It would be interesting to have statistics collected on the number of Hawaiian babies who are named after Grover Cleveland by monarchist sympathizers. The fad has about collapsed in this country. ——+++____ Mr. Peckham doubtless gives due con- sideration to the numerous proverbs to the effect that the higher a man is lifted up the harder he is liable to be slammed down. ———_++=____ All that is needed to compiete the finan- ¢ial revival is a prize fight at Cripple Creek. ——_ +s ___ As @ general thing the coming of the con- Stessional directory—whether it be bound in erimson cloth or wrapped in brick-hued pa- per—is reason for rejoicing. Other govern- ment publications may provoke temporary imterest or achieve widespread agricultural | circulation, but they never bloom with that perennial beauty which has been the pecu- Mar and fascinating possession of the vol-| ica in 1869, and during his long athletic caree> never met with a defeat; at present he is engaged in journalism.” Those state- ments had in them much of real interest, and their reappearance was confidently looked for until some earthly or other power should remove Mr. McEttrick to qn- other sphere of usefuiness; but in the latest edition—and «presumably an expurgated one—they are missing. Just why the editor of the directory should “blue-pencil” Mr. McEttrick’s “copy”’ is a mystery and per- haps of the political sort. There has been no change in the sketch furnished by Sen- ator Hill; a condition that only deepens and darkens the enigmatic depths. Is there dis- crimination or has the directory fallen into the hands of the “ring” that prevented the verbatim publication of Major Martin's Speech on the Mills bill? Because Mr. Mc- Ettrick and the editor of the directory are engaged in journalism is no excuse for an exhibition of professional jealousy. Lovers of athletics should insist upon fairness in the columns of our capitoline cotemporary. If sporting subjects are to be debarred why should the management continue to publish adve-tisements of lawyers, manufacturers, horse and cattle breeders and dealers in eggs and dairy products? — +0 ‘The House of Representatives will do the country a real service if it takes up and carries to an unquestionable decision the case of Judge Jenkins, who, by injunction, interfered with and prevented a strike of Northern Pacific railroad employes and compelled cessation of the efforts of labor organization officials who were inciting those employes to quit work. The injunc- tion was granted upon application of the receivers who are in charge of Northern Pa- eific affairs, and was for awhile the sub- ject of much comment. Now the trades unions are agitating the impeachment of Judge Jenkins, and the matter will almost surely occupy some of the attention of the House as soon as the Wilson bill is out of the way. If Judge Jenkins did the right and the legal thing the country should have the case made conspicuously plain; if he erred without malice he should be repri- manded; if he deliberately misused one of the law’s greatest powers he should suffer Prompt removal from the judicial office. A great principle is at stake. ————+ ++ —___ Is there not something either humorous or inconsistent in the McCreary resolution as to Hawaii? How can the majority of the House committee on foreign affairs “approve the principle announced by the President of the United States that in- terference with the domestic affairs of an independent nation is contrary to the spirit of American institution: and at the same time smile approbation at the same Presi- dent because he not only interfered with the domestic affairs of an independent nation, but did so in behalf of an utterly debased royalty which had been over- thrown by decent people who were weary of monarchical misrule? ——> & = —____— Florida's treatment of her militia is not judicious. In turning them around so quickly there is danger of making some of the young men dizzy. ——<-s-o———_____ It would be manifestly unkind of the Sen- ate’s judicial editors to require President Cleveland to guess again. —_—__ + += ___ It will soon be known whether it was the Corbett-Mitchell fight or the Mitchell- Corbett fight. —_——+-____ Mr. Quigg’s name sounds like an excla- mation point spelled out. SHOOTING STARS. Another Histriontc Possibility. If Governor Mitchell keeps on in his way He may be a star in a pugilist play. An Agricultural Saccess. “How is Dykins getting along with the farm he bought?” “Pretty well. He tells me he saved money on it last year.” “How?” “Rented it to another man.” Remunerative. “Does literature pay?” asked the idicr. “I should say so,” replied the country editor. “Every time we print a poem the author comes in and buys at least twenty copies of the paper to send away.” oe F Sensitive. “Are you fond of skating?” asked the girl who was trying to be entertaining. “No,” replied the man who kicks about household expenses. “You miss a great deal of fun.” “Perhaps.

You see, the trusted employe talked about the occurrence so that it got into the newspapers.” —___~ 0 +____ Gov. Hill vs. Senator Hill. From an Interview With David B. Hill in 1886. The confirming power has been used al- ways only to be abused. It does not reject bad men. It rejects good men to keep bad men in. It does not work as a help or en- lightenment to the President or governor. It works as a ball and chain on both. It makes in the federal Senate a series of as many Presidents in petto as there are representatives of states in that body. It makes Senators office brokers, and execu- © know the reputation and 3) tanding of the Louse one is |}/ i 1 } GOOD THING | purchase anything from it.
