THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TUESDAY...........September 11, 1894. ‘TAR has a regular a: permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. There seems to be an undercurrent of indignant fear among District democrats lest when President Cleveland concludes to appoint a successor to Postmaster Sher- wood he may confer the honor and the emoluments upun a non-resident. To say that such a conclusion will not be reached would be, in view of what has happened, absurd, but {t may nevertheless be fer- vently hoped by the people of the District of Columbia that the President will give reasonable regard tq the home rule plank im the platform upon which he was elected to the presidency for the second time. It is claimed by some of the more active mem- bers of the loca. democracy that the ap- pointment of an outsider would be grossly unjust to those Washingtonians who have devoted time and money to furthering dem- @eratic success; in other words, that what- ever there i: of local patronage should be regarded as cumberel with a mortgage held by those residents of this city who have done what they could for the welfare of their party and its candidates. This, however, is not the consideration which should influence the Chief Executive. He should appoint only local men tc fill local positions, not because they have contrib- uted to campaign funds, but because jus- tiee and the democratic platform of 1892 | demand “that the officials appointed to ad- minister the guvernment of any territory, | together with the District of Columbia and | Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the territories or District in which their duties are to be performed.” There is no neces- | sity for going beyond -he limits of the Dis- triet in search of a business man whose administration of city post-office a‘fairs would surely b popular; the supply of ma- terial out of which a hundred good post- masters could be made is ample. It may be that this suggestion of loyalty to the best | governmental policy and Party declaration is superfluous; it probably is. President Cleveland must surely have known In ad- vance how his nomination of a Kansas negro for recorder of deeds would be re- ceived by the people of this city. Few ap- peintments have been less defensible than that of Taylor; probably no other one has caused the President more of genuine dis- comfort. It is sincerely hoped by the peo- Dle of the-national capital that the Taylor experience has so impressed itself upon the President as to render impossible any sim- flar experimeat. The democratic party, through Its representatives who met at Chi- cago two years ago, declared its belief in “home rule and the control of their own affairs by the people of the vicinage.” The control of affairs in the District of Colum- bia is constitutionally and by statute vested in Congress and the President. Home rule in the full sense of the term may not there- fore be practieable, but justice and equity demand that in approximate fulfilment of the home rule pledge local offices be filled exclusively by local men. —_+ e+ ____ | The steady merease in the use of stcel over iron may be realized from a glance at fome statistics W the last volume of Poor's | Manual of Railroads. In 1380, of the 115,- | Gi? miles of railroad in the United States, $1,967 miles, or 70.9 per gent were laid with fron tracks. In 1893 191,857 miles of road "Were equipped with steel out of a total mile- age of 220,012; the percentage being 83.3. This remarkable change has been brought / about by the discovery of new processes in the manufacture of steel, which have both cheapened it im cost and improved it in durability. It may be interesting to note that a steel rail in constant use for regular traffic lasts eleven y es The good roads movement can be said to have made a decided impression on the country, when the national government issues a report on the subject. This is what has occurred in the case of the report prepared by Prof. Shaler just published by | the Geological Survey and which deals es- Pecially with road materials. Information is given as to the best stone to be used, urder different conditions, and in different climates, for dressing roads. As a whole the report is a valuable addition to the | Hterature of the movement, and, as has been observed, is significant because issued by the national government. —_——_ +0 + __ The friends of McKinley are beginning | to question” whether Tom Reed can go out to Oblo and carry that state overwhelm- irgly for McKinley, in the manner that MeKinley has swept Maine for Tom Reed. > © Bowed down beneath the idea that the people of the United States are strongly- inclined toward lawlessness, a commit- tee of English missionaries proposes to investigate some of the many recent lynch- ings which taken place in various Portions of country. That the com- mittee will be heartily welcomed by any considerable proportion of our population is far from probable, in spite of the fact that the great majority has opposed. does oppose, and will oppose, all efforts to sup- Plant the law with mob violence. The most enthusiastic of British reformers have never teen so much in earnest in condemning the lynching tendencies of certain regions and communities as many Americans have been. The reputable press of the United States stands shoulder to shoulder with the pulpit on the subject of lynching, and, together, these great forces have accom- plished more in the way of uplifting pub- lie sentiment than they are generally cred- ited with. There does not exist any ne- cessity for English interference or as- sistance; the good work is progressing sat- isfactorily, and with all possible rapidity. But it may nevertheless be questioned whether Gov. O’Ferrali and Gov. Northen are pursuing the best line of policy when they abuse the committee and the forces which brought the committee into being. At this time the South is seriously en- gaged in an endeavor to attract unto itself @ reasonably large share of the capital and the immigration which for some years past have been pouring into the West and North- west. If it Is still the desire of these hith- erto neglected states to capture the gold and the presence of desirable foreigners, they must expect to be lectured once in & while about matters on which the for- eigner has decided opinions of his own. But it is hardly likely that at this time and on this particular subject there will be any great display of American di- Plomacy; there will rather be appearance of resentment, and if the missionary ef- forts of the well-meaning, but meddlesome Englishmen continue, the results cannot but be much more uncomfortabie for the subordinate race in South than they have been at any time during the past @ecade. Those who have reasonubly in- timate acquaintance with the English character know how speedily Englishmen Generally would resent any American med- @ling with the criminal {diosyncracies of the British nation; Americans are no less sensitive than are their tra relatives. * In a@ speech delivered at Exeter Hall at the last annus! May meeting of the va- | THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1894—TEN PAGES. tion Army, “General” Booth was reported by the Londen Chronicle as saying that “in the United States their experience was that the American set himself up as not needing to be missioned by heaven or earth, and least of all by Britishers. If anything was to be done for America, the American could do it himself, and he wanted to be well paid for doing it. There were 2,000,000 drunkards and 286,000 criminals in America, the Coxeyites were everywhere, and there were no more terrible drunkards and desperate criminals in any coun:ry in the world Something must be done, ard what the Salvation Army said was ‘Let us attack them; we know how to labor and we will help; we know no people in preference to another; one man is as good as another to us.’"" Not a word about the almost countless churches and educational institutions and other morally-elevating or- ganizations! No mention of the hundreds of thousands of noble men and women whose lives are devoted to the betterment of moral conditions! No mention of the millions of dollars so freely contributed by ail classes to the end that mankind may be uplifted to the plane of highest civilization! Contempt of courts and disregard of wise statutes are not common in this country. The lynching mania is confined to a grad- ually narrowing portion of the republic. The best elements of our society ecntinually assail the shrinking borders of this tract, and there is reasonable ground for the belief that in our own way the crime which hi so stirred up Englishmen, who are ever awake to the faults of others and remark- ably somnolent as to their own short com- ings, will soon be extremely rare. It is a matter which concerns this councry onl: Englishmen, no matter what their inten- tions may be, should have sense enough to let us work out our own salvation in our own way. In nowise is Great Britain less criminally inclined than the United States. We may truthfully claim to be a more moral people than the wellers in the British Isles, and while that fact remains it is presumption for England to sead mission- aries hither for the purpose of attempting to do something for us that we are doing successfully for ourselves. soe The Star, in common with other local newspapers, has repeatedly called atten- tion to the fact that while the city fire de- partment is an admirably conducted in- stitution—well-disciplined, fearless and ef- ficient—it is much too weak to cope with even one great conflagration while two simultaneous cails of any magnitude could not possibly be responded to at the same time. Evidence of this really startling con- dition was supplied yesterday afternoon. What threatened to be a very serious fire broke out among inflammable buildings on the river front; a high wind was blowing, and there was danger of the flames being carried to structures in the immediate vicinity of those most directly threatened with destruction. A general alarm was turned in, and the response to that call concentrated for a time the entire force of the fire department in the_extreme southern Portion of the city. While the city’s supply of engines and firemen was putting out the Water street blaze, another alarm was turned in because there seemed for a time to be Kkelihood of the collapse of a large building on Pennsylvania avenue. Subse- quent investigation proved that the build- ing was realiy in no danger—that the oc- currence which caused so much excitement was but a small affair—but the inciden. served admirably to show how inadequate are our fire-fighting facilities. Inanimate Washington is composed in the main of non-combustible structures, has broad and smooth streets, and ts, therefore, less Mable to wide-spread fires than almost any other city in the country, but it is nevertheless certain that there is much less of a fire department here than there should be. At least fifteen engines with full- crews should be im active service; with that number ready for duty two fairly large fires could be attended to at the same time. When Congress again assembles for legislative and other purposes strenuous effort should be made by the local authorities and by in- dividuals to bring about an increase in the number of engines and firemen sufficient to afford the city the protection to which it is entitled. _——s0o—— Senator Peffer remarks that when he saw it was to be a grab game he proceeded to hustle in behalf of his constituents.
