Editor. 7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply t: STAR, or to the E Department, tenor or purpose. Active preparations are already being made for the democratic convention of the fifth congressional district, which meets at Catonsville on Wednesday. Much interest centers in the convention because {t is Sena- tor Gormen’s home district, and it is said that special efforts will be made by his friends to prevent the adoption of any reso- lutions indorsing President Cleveland and tariff reform. It is further said that Mr. Gorman’s friends, acting under his advice, ‘Will exert themselves to nominate only such candidates as are known to he friendly to the Senator. The Gorman forces in the con- ¥ention will, it is understood, be led by Mr. Frank A. Bond, of Anne Arundel count who is the inspector of weirhts and me: ures in the District of Columbia. Mr. Bond has already engaged rooms at the Carrollton Hotel and will open the Gorman headquarters on Tucsday nixht, so as to be Prepared to receive and do missionary work among the southern Maryland delegates, many of whom are expected to reach the city on that day.—Ealtimore Sun. The District suffers in its local concerns from political appointments to {ts municipal offices. Its colored recorder from Kansas scrapes the departments for political contri- butions instead of recording deeds, and its white inspector of weights and measures from Maryland leads, it seems, a factional Political fight ir his state instead of in- Specting District weights and measures. ~These are not the only local offices in re- spect to which political considerations solely have prevailed. The whole system is fun- damentally and thoroughly wrong. The men whom the aggregated taxpayers of the District employ to do municipal work for them should be selected from among the residents of the District, with especial ref- erence to their fitness to perform this work, and if they are not chosen on this basis, Dut appointed to gratify some influential Senator or Representative who demards the office for a constitue:t as the price of per- forming his duty under the Constitution as a legislator for the capital, then the District is wronged, and materially injured, and bot® the eppointing power and the leg's!ators who extort offices under duress of threats are-discredited. It is vain for the city to attempt to buy consideration from Congress by bartering its municipal offices. The Con- Bressmen who get the appointments are never satisfied; if their favor is once secured im this way the process must be repeated indefinitely; and those Congressmen who fail in the grab game are likely, in disap- pointed and spiteful envy, to do more harm than the others do good. Moreover, the natioral legislators ought to be ashamed to take advantage of the city’s dependence upon them as exclusive local legislators under the Constitution, to wring from the municipality petty offices with which to re- ward ccnstituents for political services at the expense of the capital’s taxpayers. It iz small business all around, and seriously embarrasses the proper conduct of the city’s affairs. —_—_~+ e+ __- The rain so long delayed fell at last to check the forest fires in Minnesota, and the cound of the first pattering drops came like a voice from heaven to the terror- stricken ones whose homes were in the line of the advancing fire. The accounts of the great calamity are filled with stories of heroism, as well as of suffering. There ‘were men and women who died bravely at their posts, sacrificing their lives to eave others. There were heroes whose names will never be known and whose charred and unidentified bones now lie in the black, desolate waste left in the track of the fire. Terrible as the catastrophe was it is grati- fying to know that reports indicate the loss of life to be less than was estimated yester- day. There is, however, no measure for the grief of the hundreds of stricken families. Death came in such a frightful form that the horror of the calamity is intensified. The survivors, made homeless by the fire, many of them bereft of all they loved, seemed almost indifferent to the scenes about them when the relief parties arrived. ‘The terror of the fire, the horrors through which they had passed had paralyzed them into apathy. When the last offices are per- formed for the dead, and when the wants of the living sufferers are provided for, practical philanthropists will probably turn their attention to considering whether there are not means for insuring those that dwell in the forest from such a frightful fate as has befallen the people of Hinckley and other Minnesota towns. Another long fought at any time might be followed by equally disastrous forest fires. —_ —-_ + +e ____ President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company will discover that the public has no sympathy with his attempts to force the cars through the line of a public parade in spite of the orders of the police authorities and the protests of the people themselves. The plea that the cars must run continuously in order to Preserve the company’s charter 1s alto- gether silly. A corporation like the Wash- ington and Georgetown railroad is intended for the public convenience, and if the com- fort and safety of a very large proportion of the public dictate to its chosen guardians the wisdom of temporarily stopping trafile @ salutary lessen of severity should be given to any official or employe who a tempts to treat legally constituted ai thority with contempt. —_—~++e—__. It Is now alleged that the President's re- fusal to sign the tariff bill was intended as @ Geliberate slight to the man who collects the pens with which important documents are signed. —_ + +e—___ The manner in which the Chinese and Japanese secure the maximum of talk with the minimum of fight can scarcely fail to excite the admiration of Messrs. Corbett and Jackson. ———~e+__ It is particularly hard to have so much compulsory crow on the banquet board just in the height of the reed bird season. —__+ ++ — The next time a member of Congress writes to the sugar trust he will probably mot neglect the R.

A month ago when was effected and an- n 4 The Star 1 attention to the great Importance of the work, especially to the South and to the evidence given of con- fidence in the future of that vast region by the marvellously ra rehabilitation, dur- ing a season of general financial timidity, of what was seemingly a cluster of bankrupt concerns, into a well organized and appar- ently vigorous railroad system. Now, this fully effected scheme is attracting notice in New York, the work of reorganization hav- been accomplished so rapidly as to have THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1894-TEN PAGES. —- = almost escaped notice there at first. A great railroad project sustained by ample capital promises to aid most materially in the movement to develope the South. Washington is deeply interested in the out- come of these various projects. The rail- rad lines controlled by the new organiza- tion foevs at this point. Geographically the capital city is the gateway of the South. With railroad lines already in existence, and Operated under one general direction, with this city as the most convenient point of en- trance to or departure from the South, there is every reason why Washington should give hearty encouragement to the move- ments in that section which promise to it increased prosperity, for there are strong grounds which justify the belief that Wash- ington will share that prosperity. ——_+ +s —__ The news of the sudden death of Presi- dent Welling of Columbian University will come as a blew to hundreds of Columbian alumni who have sat at his feet as college Students and who have admired and re- spected him. Dr. Welling was a scholar of wide and profound attainments, and as a writer he was a master of brilliant and polished English. In the fields of journalism and education he had attained eminence, and he has been recently engaged in liter- ery labors which, it was confidently an- ticipated, would make for him an enduring rame in literature. His death is a severe public less. His services, especially to the cause of education, entitle his name to be written higk up in the list of public bene- factors, and his devotion to the interests of Washington, both as the ration’s educa- tional center and as its capital, will cause him to be long remembered by his fellow- townsmen as among those who gave vigor to the life of the federal city during the period of its greatest growth. a Iceland can hardly be considered as a new country, for it was colonized before the Vikings made an excursion to the North American coast. Yet attention is now being directed to the resources of the island, and projects for development are be- ing planned and pushed with the vigor usual when a new land has been opened for settlement. An English syndicate has se- cured a concession to build railways, and a line of steamers is to be established to run all the year between Iceland and Liverpool. The export sheep trade is the incentive that has given life to these commercial projects. Iceland's geographic position Is such as to suggest it as a field for Amer- ican enterprise. ——_e+___.. Mr. Wilson's district promises to be the star district of the pending congressional campaign, Ex-President Harrison is on his way there to be the guest of ex-Secretary Elkins. Mr. Harrison has stated that he dces not go there for political purposes and will not make a speech, but ef course no one knows what will happen when he gets there. Then ex-Speaker Reed fs to appear on the stump and scatter republican aphor- isms through the district. Mr. Wilson meanwhile is off for Europe. He will un- doubtedly feel flattered at the attention paid his district, and perhaps will be back in time to return the courtesies. The Emperor cf China evidently believes the Chinese won a decided victory over the Japanese at Ping-Yang, for he has re- warded Gereral Yeh and several hundred other Chinese officers. Whether the army mules are to be brevetted or not the de- spatches do net say, but the Imperial ex- ultation seems almost great enough for that. Outside of China there does not seem to be so much certainty as to the victory, but in China nobody, of course, is hasten- ing to question an Imperial decree. —____ + e+ ---__ ‘The announcement is made that Mr. Josiah Quincy is a firm believer in the faith cure, and prefers prayers to pellets in the treatment of disease.

There ts an encouraging prospect that the militiamen who did field duty during the recent strike troubles will not have to wait for their pay until an apprepriation can be made by the legislature. Their vouchers have al] beem approved and indorsed by the governor, with the accompanying state- ment that he will recommend their pay- ment, with 6 per cent interest. It is hoped that enough liberal and public-spirited cap- italists can be found to advance the money to the troops on these youchers at their face value.
