4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, ‘TURDAY,, -August 25, 1894. S. NOYES..............-Editor, EVENING STAR has a regular and ae circulation much more the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. @7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- it of personal absence, letters E STAR should t be addressed to y individual connected with the of- » but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Department, mecording tu tenor or purpose. ———— — ‘Those enemies of the civil service com- who are also opponents of Re- Taylor find themselves under the em- ; ae necessity of sustaining an ad- » Whatever position they take in re- Bpect to the effort of the commission to ap- Ply the civil service law to the recorder’s The spoilsman’s hate of the com- is, howeyer, so bitter and so domi- mating that the selected alternative in most Of these cases is an indorsement of the im- Perted recorder, and of the extortion of Money from government employes through the intimidation resulting from veiled threats of dismissal. ‘The Star is spared this embarrassment. Its opposition to . imported recorders is habitval, and tt also believes in the merit System, and in the civil service law, con- sidering them as highly beneficial to the republic in genera! through a resulting tn- creased efficiency of the public service, and to the capital city in particular, by assur- img to deserving residents a more stable tenure of office end some measure of pro- tection against political blackmailers and Political pickpockets. To The Star the rob- Dery of clerks and messengers in the de- partments by these who threaten official ¢ivil service law and the home-rule planks ef the democratic platform, and The Star nd the people of Washington would be highly gratified at this double blessing. ‘There is, however,.much force in the sug- @estion that the President ts not likely to @rant the request of the civil service com- oom be 1-3 Since, undeniably, the might reasonably; view the office as an in- ‘eentive, also,’ to political services to be ren- dered, and be justified in surprise at finding that the same activity which had won him the office might now, under the law, cause him to lose it. And ff the Presiient has, as Taylor intimates, treated him on terms of confidential and influential intimacy, as dis- tributor-in-chief of democratic patronage to the colored race, it would, perhaps, be in- qnsistent for the President even to rebuke this particular office-holder for a pernicious activity, thus encouraged by himself. But whether the chances of punishing Taylor for violations of the law are good or bad, the civil service commission will, of course, go ahead in the-line-of its duty, sustained By all good citizens. “(s+ ____ As it has done for many years and as it will continue to do unless some radical changes in method are made, the work of garbage collection and disposal causes our municipal authorities and the public gener- ally very much worry and trouble. There have always been serious defects in the sys- tem by which the city’s garbage has been gathered, caused frequently by the fact that it was always to the contractor's interest Eee a0, Mette aartage os he: mtaly but due sometimes to the insuffi- Giency of the amount appropriated as re- thrown overboard’ mot Tikely to be long endured by the re- @pective state authorities. Feeble efforts at ©ollection and a variety of sal ex- &remely unsatisfactory brought férth many advocates of garbage destruction, and these Beem to be a unit as to the desirability of incineration. But the burning of garbage, while it has many considerations to recom- mend it, is a wilful waste of extremely valuable material, and ts thus extrava- gantly expensive when compared with sys- tems which treat and utilize certain parts of the, refuse. These latter systems fur- nish not only a cheaper but a more thor- ough service, for the strongest sort of in- @ucement urges the contractor to collect the greatest amount possible of raw mate- rial for his factory. Detroit has no trouble qwith its garbage. It is removed at small cost to the city and without complaints from householders. Failure to collect is a mishap and not a deliberate ocourrence. very pound of garbage means additional Profit to the contractor, for at a place some miles beyond the city limits he extracts frem the garbage every ounce of the fer- tilizing chemicals in which it abounds. (hese chemicals have a remunerative mar- ket value and as the supply of garbage Increases so do the output of the factory nd the profits grow. Why should not @Washington ascertain which is the best of the garbage treatment systems, and Mmake use of one of its factories located tside of the District limits to cheaply an the city? ———_ ++ —_—_—_ If China continues to get the worst of it §m <his war she will be sorry she ever in- ented gunpowder. — A score or so of what are reasonably be- fieved to be the best riflemen in the Dis- trict cf Columbia will leave this city to- night for the purpose of participating in ‘the competition of the New Jersey State Rifle Association and the National Rifle ‘Association at Sea Girt, N. J. In times past these same riflemen have done the National Capital much credit by the ad- mirable manner in which they have over- come those who were pitted against them, but it would hardly be reasonable to ex- pect as much of victory this year as was, fer instance, achieved during the season of 1893. Heretofore the brigade team of the District National Guard has alweys had ample opportunity for practice, but during the present season our local troops have ‘been deprived of the use of the rifle range, which, for so long @ time, was in good working order at the Washington barracks. ‘Last November the machinery of the range was completely destroyed by storm, and glthough efforts have been made to bring mbout a re-equipment, only negative re- gults have come to pass. Burdened by a handicap of no training, the. defenders of §nternational and national championships fre at the outset of the race decidedly yhind those who will compete with them, it, thanks to the generosity of the state New Jersey, the District's representa- will be permitted a week of prelim!- practice over the range at Sea Girt! final selection of the shooting twelve these who will leave town tonight will be made until the latter part of the 1g week, but there Is every reason for ing that when that selection has mm made, the team of which Washing- | daughter's marriage with THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1894-EIGHTEEN PAGES. home successful. Military bb good, clean eport, and, in addition to its many other advantages, has the merit of being educative in its character, for it assists materially the schooling of those Americans, who, no one knows when, may be called upon to enforce law. The team record is, when the comparative youth- fulness of the organization is considered, remarkably good. In 1890, without much of training, it succeeded in winning the famous Hilton trophy at Creedmoor against very heavy odds. In 1891 and 1892, it put up a gallant fight for that same trophy and also for the interstate trophy of the Na- tional Rifle Association, which represents the championship of America. In those two years it was unsuccessful, but it ac- quired a great deal of valuable informa- tion, and when it last year won not only the Hilton, which {s open to the competti- tion of the world, but the interstate trophy also, there was laudable repoicing among those who are possessed of local pride. The sub-organizations of the brigade have also done well. In 1891 the team of the First regiment captured the New Jersey inter- state trophy, in a competition open to National Guard teams from any of the eastern states, and in 1892 it repeated the feat of the year previous. Last year the coveted and desirable prize feli into the bands of the team of our Engineer Corps, and in each of three years the teams of the District have been at the head of the list in that match. When it is remem- bered that the states represented at the meetings have a very much larger mem- bership from which to draw their expert riflemen, the work done by the Washing- ton sharpshooters becomes so much more creditable. May they bring home as many trophies and prizes from Sea Girt as they last year. —~-+e____ So malicious and so persistently-circulated have been the British stories as to the ac- cident to the Vigilant’s centerboard that Mr. George Gould has requested that eminent expert, Prof. J. H. Biles, who fills the chair of naval architecture at the University of Glasgow, to make a thorough examination of the American yacht and to make public his report immediately after the inspection has been completed. The findings will, of course, make it perfectly plain even to the obtuse British intellect that there is noth- ing unfair in the boat's construction or her Attings, and that the accident to the center- board was something for which no one can be held responsible unless tt be the British pilot. When all this has been done it would then be entirely proper for Mr. Gould to de- cline to enter his boat in any other races in British waters and to send her back at once to the United States. Such a protest against the brutality which has assailed Americans who, during this year, have gone to England to participate in a variety of sporting events would be completely justi- fled, and would bring forth unstinted ap- Plause from those who are unwillingly be- ing compelled to believe that British fair- play no longer exists. The people of the United States have always endeavored to be as agreeable as possible to English yachtsmen and English cricketers and to all of the very many subjects of Queen Victoria who have visited this country for the purpose of athletic or other competi- tion; there should be a fittle reciprocity. The irrevocable withdrawal of the Vigilant would be a dignified comment on the ill- behavior of a boorish people. For awhile it seemed as though the insults emanated merely from a few gossipy newspapers, but it now appears that the British public gen- erally is uttering slarder. —_~+2__ It is reported, and the report is probably well founded, that the French government will not permit Sir Charies Dilke to make the tcur of France's eastern frontier fort- resses, which he had planned to make dur- ing the Parliamentary recess. This action on the part of the French government is believed to be due to the outcries of the French press, which has been insisting that it 1s extremely improper to permit foreign- ers—whether of high or low degree—to pry into the inner strength and capacity of the forts and arsenals on which so much money and skill have been expended. Of course, Sir Charles will be much disappointed and deeply pained, but if it will afford him any relief, The Star has no hesitation in an- nouncing that he is at liberty to come over here and poke around all he wants to in the mysterious recesses of Fort Foote, and even to examine critically the half-dozen unfinished cellars that have been excavated at various points on the Fort Washington reservation. More than that, he can, if he so pleases, wander all over the vast ex- tent of Fortress Monroe, and, for a merely nominal consideration, would doubtless be permitted to lease “the Ripraps” for a summer residence. There are some things which are doubtless done better in Europe than they are here, but in the matter of hospitality as to fortifications the United States is second to none. To be sure, neither Sir Charles Dilke nor any one else would be able to learn as much of value from our so-called defences as could be learned in France, but our willingness to @isplay the little we have should offset the paucity of the exhibit. —_ ++ ____.

It was discovered that no appropriation had been adopted for carrying into effect the in tax provisions of the tariff bill. A million dollars had been asked by the Treas- ury Department, but was 1ot given. Final- ly an appropriation for $8,000 was by Congress for extra work ental the internal revenue office. The com- mittee investigating the armor plate frauds at the Carnegie works sharply criti- cised, in its report, the company, ng it and the government inspectors; the House passed a resolution tn consequence directing the removal of some of the al- leged defective plates from vessels to be subjected to tests at the Indian Head prov- ing grounds. The national strike commis- sion at Chicago sat during the week, tak- ing testimony. Gov. Altgeld of Illinois is- sued an appeal asking aid for the families of those engaged in the Pullman strike, many of whom are in great want. A great strike of cotton spinners against reduction in wages began in New Bedford and Fall River. In the latter place 25,000 have been locked out. Lieut. F. H.
