As a News and Advertis has no competitor, t7In order to avo! count of personal THE STAR should not be addressed to Any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, acco: = to tenor or purpose. Bee te Interesting comparison is being made in New York city between the organization of good citizens bent on overthrowing Tam- many and a similar committee which, twen- ty-three years ago, inflicted upon that most corrupt of political bedies punishment from which it has never wholly recovered. The reform committee of today has seventy members, end so had the committee which came into existence on September 4, 1871 ‘The tions prevalent tn municipal a: fairs in New York then and now resemble each other remarkably, with the exception, Perhaps, that the general public knows more of Tammany’s recent offending than the general public did of what Tweed and his associates were doing prior to their ex- Fosure and downfall. Charges of wholesale ishonesty had been freely made for some time before the first Committee of Seventy proceeded to investigate, but not even the most ardent anti-Tammany worker sup- pesed that things were anything like as bad as they afterward proved to be. Much @Mculty was experienced in getting down to definite details and incontrovertible facts. ‘Tweed was a tremendous power, and he ‘was surrovnded by men who woyld not hesi- tate at any crime if its commission was necessary to the maintenance of Tweed rule. ‘To those who were once familiar with the exposures made by the old Committee of Seventy, it will be interesting to recall some of the more bare-faced “steals” that were engineered by Tweed; younger folks will also be benefitted by the reprinting of history. More than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars were paid for carpets for the county court house—carpets that an ex- pert declared to be worth only $12,400; in two years one firr of “ring” contractors was alleged to have received $5,644,716 for “furniture for the court house, while another firm receipted for $916,124.98, also for “furniture.” “Plastering” and “repair- ing” and “additional pl:mbing” resulted in four bills that footed up $6,048,281.17. The furnishing of safes for the court house re- sulted in a bill of $404,248.72, while a purely bogus bill for “carpets, curtains and shades” took out of the city treasury the sum of $740,942.57. Thermometers were ex- pensive articles in those days, for the sup- ply alleged to have been furnished the court heuse cost $7,500. On a bill that read “for articles furnished for the court house,” a friend of Tweed’s drew $12,872.30, while other supposititious friends got $3,000,000 for Water meters for the building and $1,861,- 506.54 for stationery for two years. These and other revelations made public by the Committee of Sev.eity showed the source of Tweed’s vast wealth and resulted tn the exile, imprisonment and death, while a prisoner, of the man who made the name of Tammany insufferably odious. What the new Committce of Seventy will uncover cannot, at this time, be safely predicted, but in view of the many extraordinary and dis- gracetul happenings brought to light through Dr. Parkhurst and the Lexow investigating committee, it is not unreasonable to imagine that the Tammany of today 1s quite as vicious and every whit as criminal as was ‘Tammany when Cornelius Bliss and Robert Hoe and William M. Evarts and Henry Clews and Theodore Steinway and Robert B. Roosevelt and General John A. Dix, with a host of other good citizens, combined to overthrow the monarchy which “Boss” ‘Tweed had set up in the commercial me- tropolis of the new world. +e. ___ Betw forty and fifty thousand boys and girls—some willingly, some unwilling- ly—were present this morning when this city’s schools were opened after the long summer vacation. The people of Washing- ton have many institutions of which they are justifiably proud, but the one thing above all others of which they may boast is the public schuol system by and through which the rising generation is being fitted for the duties of Ife. Competent investi- Sators have looked carefully into the work- ings of the system here in vogue, have gone into all the other great communities of the land for the same purpose, and have reach- ed the ¢ ion that the method by which the young folks of the national capital are being educated is as modern as any known to the most advanced of practical educators and very much in advance of the average idea. Dr. Rice, who traveled the country over as public-school critic for The Forum, puts Washington almost, if not quite, at the top of the list. With a faulty organization, the condition of which so much that is pleasing has been said would be impossible; an up-to-date gchool board, brainy superin- tendence and sktliful teaching are responsi- ble for the good which has been and ts be- ing done. There is still need, however, of additional school-houses and a numerically stronger force of teachers, for in some por- tions of the District lack of facilities have cut the time which should daily be devoted to tuition in two and the results are un- Satisfactory, both to the instructors and to the pupils. The right of Congress to be niggardly in some matters must be con- ceded, but there should be only appropria- tive liberality as to our public- ‘school sys- tem. —_r+oe_. The recent emphatic manifestations of political sentiment in the northeastern sec- tion of the country have caused a number of editorial policies to com> under the clas- sification of lost, strayed or stolen. —__--+e—____.. Kentucky has detuonstrated that it is not necessary for women to go to the polls m person to exert a very consilerable in- fluence in politics. oe ‘The white chrysanthemums that Mr. Breckinridge carried with him in his stump speeches now have nothing to do with the case. +o -___ War news from Japan and China has been meagre and unsatisfactory. It seems to have been the policy of both nations to prevent the publication of that which was true and to permit a misleading flow ot falsehood to escape; but as the facts are slowly revealed it is evident that up to this time China is about as weak an adver- sary as any nation ever had. For some years past we have been regaled with stor- tes that which told of the wonderful European ning of € success ficers were having in the inese soldiers and sailors, and sionally a lugubriously-minded prophet would artse for the purpose of notifying everybody that some of these days China would start out with an army of anything from 0,000 to 160,000,000 men and con- quer just as much of the earth as it needed. It now seems plain that China has its hands more than full of Japan and will be quite fortunate {f it gets out of the trou- ble without loss of more money and perhaps @ large patch of valuable territory. There was a time when the great hordes of un- @isciplined heathen, armed with match- Jocks and cross-bows and stink-pots, were regarded as a formidable foe, but that day has gone forever. The machine-gun, the modern field-gun with {ts explosive shell and shrapnel and the breech-loading rifle are too much for the ancient methods still common in the Chinese idea of warfare. “The man behind the gun” also counts for much and the Jap seems tg be the right sort of @ person to operate the latest man- killing devices. Few people appear to have been aware of the industry with which Japan has been preparing for the strife which the Japanese government seems to to have believed inevitable; the Japanese capacity for “silence and work” {is un- doubtedly admirable. Of course China would have no difficulty in vanquishing its adversary if it could land upon Japanese soil a phenomenally large army; !t has men enough for this purpose, but it is without adequate means of transportation or sub- sistence; in brief, it has no quartermaster department. To organize a sufficient staff corps would take several years of time and to organize an army fit to go into the in- vasion business would require at least as long 4 period. The chances, therefore, are that the Japanese—thoe Yankees of the east—will be victors in the present strife. —--— + oe - The Ashland district of Kentucky has spoken, and its verdict is adverse to W. C. P. Breckinridge. The voice, however, had several quavers in it, and lacked much of the force that mest of the decent people in and out of the district hoped it woul have. Of course, a majority for Owens is defeat for Breckinridge, and with that result the general public will rot quarrel, but a cur- sory analysis of the vote shows that nearly one-half of the voters in the seventh Ken- tucky district were anxicus to be repre- sented in Congress by a man who, in a court of law, was compelled to confess to a life of immorality and hypocrisy such as is seldom uncovered. But while the majority in favor of cleanliness is only small, the general effect will unquestionably be good, for not one person in ten thousand will go rummaging among the figures. No recent compaign has so excited the popular mind as that which came to @ close on Saturday night, and which settled, forever, it is hoped, the*political aspirations of a man whose unfitness to hold public place has been nauseatingly demonstrated. Had Breckinridge been victorious in his fight for renoriination @ vast deal of harm must surely have resulted; his defeat teaches the young man of America that neither educa- tion nor mental brilllancy nor great ora- torical gifts are of any real value when their possessor stoops to indecency. And for this lesson every good citizen should be thankful. ——_> +> _—__. Washington lost one of the best of its busy citizens in the death of E. Kurtz Johnson. Endowed with ability that would have made him prominent in any commu- nity, Mr. Johnson rapidly conquered all manner of adverse circumstances and achieved standing for which so many strive in vain. Throughout a remarkable career his name was synonymous with financial probity and with all that goes to make up the character of a public-spirited citizen. And in the painful latter days of his life he displayed courage such as is uncom- mon among men; satisfied that the end was not far distant, he returned calmly to his home, set his affairs in order and waited for the summons. The interests he so faithfully and successfully controlled may prosper in other hands, but the vold caused by his un- timely departure will be apparent in many circles for a long time to come. Those who were blest with his friendship (and they were numbered by the hundreds) will mourn the loss of as true a friend and as upright @ man as ever lived. His afflicted family will have the prayers and sympathy of per- sons in every walk of life, and the poor, whom he always loved and succored, will learn of his death with especial sorrow. ——__ e+ ___ Mr. Altgeld continues to regard himself as a political reality instead of an ephe- meral phantasy of horror. ——_ e >] —___ One good way t> stamp out the evil of prize-fighting would be to prohibit it the use of the mails. oe.

One element in the overwhelming demo- cratic defeat in Maine ought not to be over- Icoked. This is the dissatisfaction and even disgust in the party caused by the distribu- tion of tke spolls since Mr. Cleveland began handing over the offices a year and a half ago. ‘The business of apportioning the spolls hes been in the hands of a ring known as “the Plum Trust,” and the Lewiston Journal, Congressman Dingley’s newspaper, says that it has “no doubt that the dispensations of the Plum Trust lost several thousand votes for the Maine de- mocracy.” The whole patronage of the federal government in the state was In the hands of the Democrats, and they were beaten worse than ever before, and in part because of this patronage. It does secm ag though the stupidest politicians ought after a while to learn that the spoils system does not “pay.” THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1894—TEN Fags.
