THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, THURSDAY................May 24, 1894, CROSBY 5. NOYES. . HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor, nem nsisnlensksrinins basa coach order to avoid delays, om ac- oe ¢ comers letters THe ‘srak hould not to tenor or purpose. ‘The President and Senate of the United States have decided that the recordership of deeds in the District of Columbia—a purely local office, maintained exclusively by the fees of local property-owners, to the support of which the nation does not con- tribute a dollar—shall continue to be the pecuniary reward for national political services rendered by the colored race to the dominant party, and that, notwithstanding the home-rule pledges of the political plat- forms, such coloied appointee need not be a resident of the District. When the Pres- ident injected considerations of national Politics, based upon the race issue, into the recordership question by the appointment of Taylor of Kansas it was recognized that sooner or later, as in the Matthews-Trotter case of his preceding administration, the Voteless District would be sacrificed to the desire of politicians of both parties to curry favor with the national colored vote. ‘The appointment was a bid for this vote; the confirmation was an indication that some of the legiglators were not to be out- done in such bidding, and that others did not dare to hold fast to political home-rule pledges and the dictates of justice and common sense in opposition to the assumed wishes of an element of the voting strength in the home state. This weakening on the Part of the Senate was, unexpectedly, more rapid than in the Matthews-Trotter case, and the bad example set by the President was followed more speedily. This is the sum and substance of the administration's glorious victory, at the expense of the un- represented District, in the Taylor confir- mation, and every one responsible for the act of bad faith involved, beginning with the President, should be ashamed of his Participation in the trumpeted triumph. The disappointment of the people of the District that the office is still to be used as a means of national political bribery is all the greater because it was thought that steps had been taken which would Temove it from this category. When the office paid its incumbent for doing nothing more than any other positien at Washing- ton im the gift of the President and more than the combined salaries of several Sen- ators the carpet-bag pressure for its pos- session was irresistible. But in 1892 legis- lation was secured which caused the com- pensation of the recorder for doing nothing to be limited to $4,000, and it was hoped that by depriving the prize of its extraordi- nary richness it might be enabled to escape the notice of political strikers in the states and be permitted to recede into its natural Place in the list of local offices. Then in the democratic platform of 1892 the pledge of local offices was made spe- cifically to the District, whereas in the past the District had been compelled to make its claim for “home rule” under a broad con- struction of the word territories. This wording of the home-rule plank was adopted with the case of the recordership conspicuously in mind, and the local demo- crats also claim that certain of the na- tional leaders, when campaign funds were sought in the District, gave personal as- surances that the home-rule plank would be enforced. It was expected, consequently, when Mr. Cleveland was elected that he would appoint a District man, and that, if a@ colored man were selected, he would be chosen from the local community, in which the negro has concededly attained his high- est stage of development. Disappointing these reasonable expectations the President has appointed a non-resident as a reward for political services, and through the influ- ences enumerated, he has been confirmed. It may be well for the District to attempt to secure legislation still further reducing the compensation of the recorder, and mak- ing him an appointee of the District Com- missioners. The office is not national in any phase, and something should be done which will prevent the national shame and disgrace of a continuance of the present uses of this position, and remove a source of constant friction between the people of the capital and the national executive and legislature. + ¢ = —__ Philadelphians continue to be very much upset by a proposition that looks to the re- moval from the Quaker City of the Mint, which has, for so long a time, been a Phil- adelphia institution. Western hustlers are after it, and the earnestness they display has frightened, and is continuing to alarm those who, up to this time, have laughed at the mere idea of removal. In a general way, the western agitators are pledged to a plan which would abolish the Carson City Mint and the Philadelphia concern and build in their place one big coin factory at Denver. There is nothing radically wrong with the western idea in this matter, but its promoters seem to have lost sight of the fact that the country’s great Mint should be at the national capital, in ¢lose proximity to other government machinery. The west- ern argument is that the Mint should be near the mines whence the metal is taken, but that contention is no stronger than one that might be made by Boston for the locat- ing in that city of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing solely because the paper used is manufactured mostly in New England. ‘The Philadelphia argument Is based entirely on the fact that the Mint has been in Phila- delphia for a good many years—was left behind, in fact, when the other offices were Yemoved to this city. The Washington po- sition {s so solid as to be rationally unassail- able. Should Philadelphia lose the Mint, it will, however, have only itself to blame, for the unremitting efforts of certain of Phila- delphia’s citizens to make the United St Pay very much more for a new site than the site was worth are responsible for what- ever there has been, or is, of agitation. —_ +++ ____ Popularity is a valuable item in the stock- in-trade of any candidate for’ public office. Few seekers after public indorsement have ever been blessed with so much of the de- sirable quality as is possessed by Gen. D. H. Hastings, yesterday nominated by Penn- sylvania republicans as their candidate for gubernatorial honors. kon It is sincerely hoped that the reporters whose duty It is to assist in circulating the Presidential fish-stories will not be held to Strict accountability for every minute detail. ——~-.—___ Those employes and ex-employes of the Government Printing Office who met last night in Typographical Temple to formu- late a plan upon which action should be taken to secure the leave-of-absence pay due those who were recently discharged by Public Printer Benedict have a good cause. There can be no doubt as to the justice of the claims which are to be pressed be- fore Congress; that must be evident to any one who reads the statement prepared by the chairman of last night's meeting—Mr. John L. Kennedy—in which a very plain ease is lucidly worked out, in part as fol- low: “In the fiscal year that is now nearing a close most of us have had thirty days’ leave with pay. We earned that ‘leave’ in the preceding fiscal year. In this fiscal year we have been earning another thirty days’ leave. Had we remained in office until July 1, 1894, we could have applied for and se- cured that leave. There is no question about that fact. We have earned it by service. It belongs to us. A law of Con- ress gives us our right to it. It is no fault of ours that we cannot get it now. Con- gress never intended that we should be de- rived of it. In fact, the sundry civil ap- Bropriation bill, which passed the House Fmd peta ofl ase a smnpar Fly A Printer to pay leaves ot ron ae earred in roe Urge Con- appropriating money for rd Fhose who may be appointed after July 1, 1804, cannot get leave of absence with bay until they shall have served one year in office. Therefore no part of that appropria- tion is for them. But because our connec- tion with the office is involuntarily severed the Public Printer cannot pay it to us out of that appropriation without special au- thorization from Congress.’ Congress is urged to take speedy action in this matter. It is sufficiently distressing that so many people have been, without warning, deprived of their livelihood. The a | ence: hice cece timer ee ae the money which is theirs. Many of the un- fortunates have families wholly dependent upon them, and are therefore in immediate need of more dollars than are likely to be given them. Let it be remembered, though, that these people are not asking charity; they merely want their own, and would like to have it at the earliest possible mo- ment, _ soo In recent years a considerable number of men, suddenly placed in the rejected suitor class, have developed homicidal mania, the object of their murderous designs invariably being the woman who has done the refus- ing. As a rule, the vicious man succeeds in killing her whose right of choice is ex- ercised adversely to what he believes to be his best interests, but the rule has its ex- ceptions once in a while, and this exception made its appearance a day or two ago in a small South Dakota mining town, where Thomas Johnson resolved to shoot Minnie Van Aiken because she would not marry him. With but little in the way of pre- liminary announcement he proceeded to carry out his program, but the first shot merely wounded Minnie’s wrist. Satisfied by this demonstration that she did the right thing when, she notified Mr. Johnson that nothing more intimate than a sisterly rela- tionship was possible, Miss Van Aiken lost control of the womanly sweetness which had attracted Mr. Johnson, and, seizing Mr. Johnson's revolver just as he was about to fire a second time, she turned the weapon upon its owner and put three bullets into Mr. Johnson's over-inflamed brain. Young women who expect to reject ardent and ill-balanced swains should paste this in their hats and keep an eye on the discarded ones’ hip-pockets. —_+.—___ The burning of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, which Dr. Talmage unhesitatingly attrib- utes to electricity from an insufficiently guarded wire, calls attention anew to the necessity for rigorous and vigorous laws by which individuals and corporations sup- plying the subtle fluid for lighting or power purposes will be compelled to make its dis- tribution harmless to both property and life. The additional expense incurred in Placing electric wires underground should rot be considered by legislative bodies when engaged in perfecting legislation to make such a system compulsory, for the enor- mous profits of telegraph, telephone and electric railway companies can easily stand the increased cost. Common sense, to say nothing of the motives of humanity, de- mends that the death-dealing wires of every description, which now gridiron the air of cities and towns, should be placed underground wherever feasible, and so pro- tected when in exposed positions as to make them incapable of exerting a de- structive influence. —~++-___ According to the St. Louis papers, a ten- year-old girl recently ran away from home because her parents compelled her to prac- tice on the piano for several hours every day. This is a novel departure, and, while filial disobedience is generally reprehensi- ble, the action of the little Missouri miss cannot fail to receive wide commendation, which will be in many cases coupled with | the devout wish that her plan of procedure may become popular among the great mul- titude of those who are required to prac- tice on the plano for several hours every day. There is no doubt that many com- munities would welcome an imitation of the act on the part of their juvenile mem- bers who run the scales from early morn to dewy eve to the extent of liberally sub- scribing to funds for the purpose of speed- ing this exodus. + -____ If the Senate really does show itself com- petent to proceed rapidly there will be num- erous very natural questions as to why it didn’t begin long ago. —_—_++2____ Some gentlemen in New York have just gotten into trouble by circulating lottery coupons without any newspapers attached to them. ——++e_____ Senator Gorman's speech might haye given more satisfaction in certain quarters if it had been made fh Chicago a good while ago. —_~+s____ Gladstone's retirement is not sufficient to put him beyond the reach of the health rumor. He has a cold at present. — wee —— Mr. Cleveland will get to the city just in time to extend his personal congratulations to Recorder of Deeds Taylor. ———_ += ____ Mr, Powderly has now reached the libel- suit compartment of his bureau of publicity and promotion, —_—>+e—__ Speaking of dark horses! SHOOTING STARS. Embarrassing. ‘There ain't no chance for enterprise In times like this, I vow. Ye can’t git rich in polities Without folks askin’ “how? A Goad Subject, “What's your hurry?” said an artist to a colleague. “Anything up?” “Yes, I have just found an admirable subject for a still life.” “What is it?” “The new post office.” . Hopeful. The umpire looked up from his paper With a gurgie of glee in his throat: “It is lucky for me, that in old Germany, They've discovered bullet proof coat!" His Spirit Rebelied. “I refuse to do it,” exclaimed the young monarch, angrily. “To do what,.Alexander?” “To keep on signing my letters, ‘Your obedient Serviant."” A Matter of Principle. “I don’t understand your politics,” said one New York policeman to another. “Now, Suppose you give me a straightforward an- Swer to one question. “I will.” “Are you in favor of protection?” “In favor of protection? Certainly—if we get paid for it.” The Chicago Platform. I was once a joyous platform; in Chicago I was made; The people laughed and hollered and the bands all came and played. My planks were joined so neatly that the carpenters declared “Twas a case of clear perfection, and they'd lick the man who dared Insinuate that I was anything but staunch and good; And now there ain’t enough of me for cam- paign kindling wood. Where are now those vocal efforts and those sentiments sublime? Those tunes played gladly ont of key and mostly out of time? Gone into deep oblivion; laid high upon the shelf. Dear, patriotte speeches, you're back num- bers, like myseif. They said they made me strong enough to cope with any fate, And yet I proved as fragile as a chunk of armor plate; To patriotic fires I'd give some splinters, if T could, But now there ain’t enough of,me for cam- paign ?}ndhng wood. | THE EVENING STAR, Another “Job Lot” SOApS At TicKnew’s, 933 Pa.
