THE EVENING STAR hase neatiat and permanent circulation much than combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competit: t7 Ia order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to ‘THE STAR should not be addressed to Ff Business Department, according to tenor or Some time ago it was stated in the news columns of The Star that the Civil Service Commission would almost surely request the President to remove from office Charies H.4. Taylor of Kansas, who, as a reward fo> services alleged to have been rendered the democratic party, was nominated and confirmed as recorder of deeds for the Dis- trict of Columbia. On Wednesday,Mr. Taylor appeared before the Commission end en- deavored to explain why and how his name came to be prominent among the names of those who have been endeavoring to bull- Goze the colored office-hoiders into making contributions to the democratic congress- fonal campaign fund. It is understood that Mr. Taylor’s argument was weak, and for this understanding Mr. Taylor himself is somewhat responsible, he having declared, after his appearance before the Commis- sion, that the whole thing was simply @ matter of race prejudice—that the Commissioners were after him merely be- cause he was not an American Caucasian; "thus mdicating the impression made upon *him by the Commissioners’ questions. It is utter nonsense to talk of race prejudice in this matter. The Civil Service Commis- “sion has never hesitated to do what it be- “lieved to be its duty, and it will not be de- *terred in this instance by the wail of one ‘who may fairly be termed a “professional” ‘negro. If Taylor has been guilty of the of- fenses charged and the Commission recom- “mends to the President that he be imme- “diately dismissed, it is the fervent hope of “every friend to good government that the President will not fall short of doing his “duty. It is but a little while since President “Clevelané said: “If we see nothing in our ‘victory but a license to revel in partisan ‘spoils, we shall fall at every point.” Ac- “cepting the resignation of Civil Service Commissioner Dorman B. Eaton, th2 Prest- “dent wrote: “I believe in civil service re- ‘form and its application in the most practi- cable form attainable, among other reasons, “because it opeas the door for the rich and Poor alike to a participaticn in public place- holdir.g. And I hope the time is at hand "when all our pecple will see the advantage of a reliance for such an opportunity upon ™merit and fitness instead of upon the caprice or selfish interest of those who impudentiy stand between the people and the ma- chinery of their government. In the one case, a reasoaable intelligence and the edu- cation which is freely furnished or forced ‘upon the youth of our land are the creden- tials; In the other, the way is fovnd in favor, secured vy participation in partisan *work often unfitting a person morally, if not mentally and physically, for the respon- sibflities and duties of pctlic employmer.t.” ‘That participation in partisan work has be-" come a habit and a necessity to Taylor, and has thus unfitted him for holding any posi- tinon under gereral cr municipal goverr- ‘ment should b= quite plain to the President, even though it be not understood by Taylor himself. In his first annual message to Congress, President Cleveland said: “I ven- ture to hope that we shall never again be remitted to the system which distributes public positions purely as rewards for parti- san service. same hand that pennea those words signed Taylor's commission as Tecorder of deeds. Will the President cor- rect the efror which he then made? soe In all fairness to an unsophisticated Con- grezs and to the frequently hoodwinked people of the, United States, Secretary Car- Msle should have made public at one and the same time his estimates of the sum to be derived from the income tax and the amount necessary to set the tax-gathering machinery in operation. The Secretary has Stated that he does not expect an aggregate Feturn of more than fifteen million dollars annually from the populist method of rais- ing revenue, but only to a sympathetic frag- ment of a Congressional committee did he disclose the fact that the tax could not be collected until five hundred thousand dol- Jars had first been appropriated to organize the collection department. Those who have an intimate® acquaintance with govern- Ment estimates insist that both estimates will be wide of the mark. Experience has shown conclusively that estimates of ex- penses are always below the amount ulti- mately need2d, while estimates of receipts are invariably, but not always purposely, Magnified. Adhering closely to a line which indicates the mean deviation on each side of the ledger it is probably safe to say that it will cost a million dollars to collect something like twelve million dollars. The conclusions are quite reasonable and have behind them the solid support of financial ‘history. Congress was long ago put in Possession of information that if extra revenue were needed it could be had by a slight additional tax on malt liquors—a tax that would not have been felt by the con- “sumer ani that could have been collected ‘without an additional dollar of cost. But the twelve million dollars of income-tax will evidently not be needed to meet the ex- penses of the government; why then should there be an extravagant expenditure of nearly a million dollars to make this un- aecessary collection? —_- +e ____.

Our new magazine rifle for the army is by uo means the best article in that line, but when big guns are being discussed then the United States has an unquestioned right to give expression to its ideas and, if it so de- sires, to talk loudly. Finer heavy ordnance | than that which has been recently turne eut of the Washington Gun Foundry can- Ect anywhere be discovered and now we find ourselves the possessors of a gun from which can be fred a projectile which weighs 1,160 pounds and in which is a charge of | 6 pounds o¢ nitro-glycerine. In the pres- | ence of a number of army officers gun and | missile were tested Wednesday and it ap- | pears reasonable to imagine that no battl ship tnat was ever or ever vill be built could withstand the effect of one such ex- | plosion as that which amazed the watchers yesterday afterroon. The projectile was fired 2,400 yards from a gun in position at | the Sandy Hook -groving grounds. A de- scription of the event says that the cap in the end of the projectile kad been set to ex- piode two seconds after the cartridge struck the water, in that time it was figured that the gigantic affair would sink at least eigateen feet from the surface. ment after a thin stream of spray told the watchers at Sandy Hook that the projectil had struck the water there was a dea | mew Sto For a mo- | | years. silence. Then a low roar could be heard, and a secofd later the earth fairly irem- bled, as the army experts and the men who have spent rearly a million dollars in per- fecting tl e gun saw a full acre of water rise in a solid column to a height estimated at anywhere from ore hundred to three hundred feet and then slowly fall back again. For three minutes after the explo- sion the air over the spot where the pro- jectile struck was filled with spray, and ten minutes after the haze had disappeared the water, for a half mile around, was one mass of seething foam. Two or three such com- binations of gun and missile would make it impossible for any foreign fleet to enter New York harbor, but unless the range of the gun is tremendously increased it would not be effective against battle-ships which could lie several miles off snore and batter things out of shape in a little while. It is Erobable, however, that the same genius which successfully designed a gun that can throw five hundred pounds of high explo- Sive about three miles will be able to so in- crease the force behind the projectile as to scon be on even terms with the heavy armament of any warship likely to be built ¢uring the next twenty years. ——_+++___ There is no longer any possible room for doubt as to the guilt of the Carnegie Com- peny, charged with furnishing to the Navy Department armor-plates known to be de- fective. When the statements of the in- forming workmen were first made public there were many rumors of blackmail and the like, but since the publication of the testimony taken before the Cummings in- vestigating committee it is certain that the company must bear the odium of a con- viction. That armor-plate was doctored with the knowledge of the superintendents of the Carnegie works is a fact to which the superintendents themselves have testi- fied, but it has not been established and probably will not be that these superin- tendents were acting under the orders of either Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Frick, or that either of these knew of the frauds. This fact has, of course, no tendency to relievé the company from responsibility. The committee report deals severely with the government Inspectors, because those officers were on duty but eight hours a day, while the manu- facture of armor-plate went right along da$ and night. The Navy Department must share this blame. One inspecting of- ficer could hardly be expected to remain on duty continuously. Of the frauds un- covered, the committee very properly says that they are crimes for which no fine or money compensation can adequately atone. “The committee,” says the report, “do not feel the necessity of drafting a criminal statute, but the interests of the Treasury and the lives of our seamen demand that such acts shall be severely punishable in all persons connected with them.” Tests are to be made of plates declared to be defective, and it may easily be that a large proportion of the Carnegie Company's pro- fits for the past year or so will be swept away through the wickedness of responsible subordinates. —__ +++ If the frigidity in some sections of Ken- tucky continues it will be unsafe for Col.

The reports to “The Financial Chronicle” show the aggregate of clearings at all points, for the past week, to have averaged 10.9 per cent above the amount for the corresponding period of last year. New York city is the only exception to e rule, the transactions here showing an actual decline of 4.8 per cent. At Boston, the increase is 14.9 per cent; at Philadel- phia, at Chicago, 39.7 per cent; at 8 per cent; at New Orleans, 16.4 per cent; and at five other cities the gain averages 27.2 per cent. It wiil thus be seen, that the recovering ten- | dency at the interior and Southern centers is very much more marked than at the sea- board cities.
