4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, CROSBY S. NOYES.. _—————— SS SS THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other ‘Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. Posey order to avoid delays, on ac- fue stak choald net be nddressea to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. =e 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 dulled consid- erably of late. This conclusion has been Teached 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 Blatchford and prolonged by the Senate's refusal to confirm the nomination of Will- jam B. Hornblower. Senator Hill's suc- cessful fight against Mr. Hornblower was actuated by a desire to get even with the mominee 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 fay when democrats of spirit revolted sgainst 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 to annoy alb those whom he has reason to regard as enemies of good government. Would it not seem, therefore, as though Senator Hill was somewhat shortsighted im obstructing Mr. Peckham's exit from New York politics? If Mr. Peckham takes his seat on the Supreme bench he becomes @ nonenity so far as partisanship is con- eerned, and his voice is forever hushed on topics evidently distasteful to Senator Hill. It may be, though, that Senator Hill has no aspirations of the political kind, does not expect to be a candidate for any- thing and ts simply engaged in the liquida- tion of old obligations. ————~-+-—____ The Star has decided to change its sys- lem 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 1s not attributable to any dissatisfaction with the Rews service of the United Press or to any persons! it or uncongeniality between 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 an 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. — ~~ 0 It is hoped that every employe 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 citizens.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, fortunately, do not su.fer 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 Whberally, 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. ——— ee ~-—_ In 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 beheld 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. + «2 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 fs Hable to be slammed down. ———___+ +s —___ All that is needed to complete the finan- ¢ial revival is a prize fight at Cripple Creek. oo As a general thing the coming of the con-| @ressional directory—whether it be bound in crimson cloth or wrapped in brick-hued pa- per—is reason for rejoicing. Other govern-| ment publications may provoke temporary interest 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-| ume in which is panoramically displayed | the handmade and auiobiographical pedi-| gree of every Senator and Representative, the President himself, and the membe-s of | bis cabinet. But the latest edition is a dis-| sppointment. Typographically it is at least equal to any of its predecesscrs and it is doubtful whether any improvement could| be made in the arrangement of the sub-| sidiary information of which the latter half} of the book is'composed, but there ts con- spicuous lack in what some of the facetious occupants of the press gallery have been | pleased to term the “obituary department.” | Almost immediately after the assembling | im extraordinary session of the Fifty-third | Congress an edition of the directory ap- peared in which Michael Joseph McEttrick, Fepresenting the tenth corgressional dis- trict of Massachusetts, sketched his de- eidedly interesting career. Modestly men- tioning personal attributes of which no man need be ashamed he declared that “his sym- metrical and splendid physique ts partially due to his taste for athletics, which he de- veloped in early life; by the time he had reached his majority he had won a national reputation for powers of strength, activity and endurance, and a record for wrestling, leaping and pedestrianism which for a long | remove their agents in administration. |fore. He cannot name his own cabinet. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. ica in 1869, and during his long athletic career 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 an- other sphere of usefulness; but in the latest 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 advertisements of lawyers, manufacturers, horse and cattle breeders and dealers in eggs and dairy products? ———__+++____ The House of Representatives will do the country @ real service if it takes up and carries to an unquestionable decision the case of Judge Jenkins, who, by injunction, those employes to quit work. The tnjunc- tion was granted upon application of the receivers who are in charge of Northern Pa- cific 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 Hawali? 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 ts contrary to the spirit of American institutions,” 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. 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. ——__ + + | —___.

An Agricultural Success. “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 idler, “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.” “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.” The Right Ribbons) WOODWARD’ -.
