THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY.............October 4, 1894. @ROSBY 5S. NOYES... —— HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. -Editor. id delays, om ac- letters to jual connected with the oi ly to THE STAR, or iness Departments, to tenor or purpose. When the campaign penetrates to the backwoods’ region of the country it is only reasorable to suppose that some of the ora- ters who mouth pf economy, without un- derstanding the first principles of that vir- tue, will delight the rustic ear with homilies om the vast sum of money saved to the (weasury through the operation of legisla- sion which had been proudly fathered by ‘Representative Dockery, of Missouri. In tones indicative of indignation will the story of departmental extravagance be told and retold and then, surrounded by a high- ly-polished elocutionary nimbus, will appear the smiling features of that conspicuous guardian of the nation’s dollars—Alexander Monroe Dockery. Granting that Mr. Dock- ery was sincere in his strenuous and, so far, successful effort to reduce expendi- ‘ures for clerical work, it cannot be con- ceeded by any one who has even a slight acquaintance with departmental methods that the “reform” will be long-lived. Upon its face the Dockery proposition was busi- nesslike, although there were evident some probabilities of risk, but the assurances of “experts who were alleged to have thorough- ly imvestigated the Treasury methods of bookkeeping calmed for a while those who were fearful of multiplied chances for dis- honesty. The system in vogue prior to the adoption of the Dockery recommendations was one which could be depended upon to defeat individual dishonesty; to achieve which end a trifle of cumbrousness was ex- cusable. Now many of the safeguards have been removed and ther> is an appearance of economy in the administration of public affairs which may deceive the unsuspecting but will not pull wool over the eyes of those familiar with the details of department work. There is but little honor for those who indulge in prophesy, but it is safe to declare that within two years—under one excuse or another—the old system will be going again and there will be a greater number of clerks in the Treasury Depart- ment than were employed there before the Dockery law cast its shadow over that im- portant branch of the executive. ——_ + e<- — It is understood that in the new police manual which will soon be published for the information and guidance of those who are hired to keep the peace in the District of Columbia, that new regulations will govern many minor matters heretofore untouched. The extent of the reforms which are, it is supposed, to be inaugurated, may not easily be guessed at by an outsider, but if there be no impropriety in giving expression to a reasonable hope, it may be said, in all kind- ness, that a regulation requiring policemen to at least appear cleanly while they are on duty could not be regarded as harsh. Of course there are times when an officer's clothing will be dusty and his shirt collar wilted, but there are other times when there is no good excuse for a display of dirt. As @ rule, our policemen are inclined toward meatness, but there are exceptions to the rule, and some of them are really shocking. Unbuttoned uniform coats give the wearers @ decidedly slouchy appearance and when, to that demerit is added the showing of a decidedly dirty shirt, the result is a far- from-pleasing picture. It may be argued by those who are habitually careless that the effectiveness of a policeman cannot be gauged by the condition of his clothing and that a very good officer may have a very dirty collar or be accustomed to wandering around with his coat thrown wide open, thus exposing the place where his vest ought to be, but is not, but neatness has, nevertheless, always been regarded as a police essential, especially when the officers do duty on the principal thoroughfares of a big city. ——_—_+ e+ —____ No sensible person attempts to deny the right of a dissatisfied employe to sever the business relations which have bound him and his employer together; such a protest is often necessary for the preservation of self-respect or to call attention to injustice. But it must, nevertheless, be accepted as a fact not to be controverted that in the ma- jority of instances strikes come to naught, and when a strike is a failure it can gen- erally be figured out that the strikers lose much more money than did the person or the firm whose empleyment they left. The latest scrap of testimony adverse to the “strikirg” idea comes from New York, where, after a fight of fourteen weeks’ dur- ation, and an actual cash expenditure of $0,000, the Custom Tailors’ Union came to @ disastrous end. Today the strikers are applying, as individ:.als, for reinstatement on the terms originally advanced by the employers. The loss of fourteen weeks’ wages is no small affair to the average workingman, and had the advice which has of late been freely proffered by the more prominent labor leaders been heeded, the members of the Custom Tailors’ Union would have been much better off today than they are. The strike should be the very last resort. + = Thirty-eight men were employed today upon the City Post Office building. Thirty- eight of the right sert of men, working steadily every week day might possibly «complete the structure by January ¢, 1900, The daily average of employes up to this time is still in the neighborhood of twenty. Twenty persistent men, skillful in their re- spective occupations, could, perhaps, have the building ready for use by August 17, Aw. ——__ +e + ____ Detroit is objecting to the payment by the community of telegraph tolls on Mayor Pin- gree’s strike symposium. That city evi- dently does not appreciate glory which is ‘thrust upon her at her own expense. ——— -ee The mystifying though logical conclusion to be obtained from the reduction of George Gould's taxes is that there is not so much money in being a millionaire as there used to be. ——~+++— John Boyd Thacher should bolster up his vote exhibit a bit before another conven- tion. ——-+e- War scares are very easily created, but none of tee many that have flashed into and out of existence in recent years was so sudden in making its appearance as that which arrayed England 2nd France against each other on account of an international disagreement as to Madagascar. With all the light that is here attainable, there seems to be but little if any excuse for a wumor that alleges warlike intentions on the part of either Great Britain or France. Where does not appear to be even the most shadowy reason for threatening strife; re of is surely equal to the very small task straightening out the tangle in Madagascar. But there is a possibility of trouble between two or three of the Euro- pean nations in connection with the Chi- nese-Japanese war; a possibility that has been evident for some time past. Today despised Japan—suddenly deveicped into one of the greatest of Asiatic powers—is march- (eg an army toward Pekin ard if it shall Chinese stronghold the war will be at an end and the Celestial Empire be in the hands of the Mikado. Corsequent upon such a victory would be, pertaps, dismem- berment of what is now the Chinese Em- pire, and that would be a severe blow to Great Britain. England has vast commer- cial interests in China and, moreover, de- pends upon Chinese territory for assist- ance should Russia make that long-contem- platel movement into nerthern India. Should Japan ccntrol, then a great barrier upon which England has always counted will no longer exist, for Japan and Russia are on much better terms with each other than are England and Japan. That Great Britain will interfere to prevent Japanese supremacy is easily probable, but if such interference takes place there is every likelihood of armed remonstrance by at least Russia. It seems possible that the great European war for which everybody has been waiting for the past ten years may be set going by the Chinese-Japanese war. —_—__— ¢-e —______— ‘The annual report of the general inspec- tor of streets, Mr. E. M. Beggs, the gist of which was made public in yesterday's Star, calls attention to the large number of tele- graph and telephone poles and overhead wires within the city. It is interesting to note that during the past year, instead of placing the wires underground in conduits, the companies were “engaged mostly in re- newing their overhead lines, replacing old with new and stronger poles, and substitut- ing copper for iron wires.” Some years ago, at considerable expense, a commission of experts, after careful investigation, recom- menfied the construction of a conduit sys- tem in which could be accommodated every telegraph, telephone and electric light wire in the city. Has anyone ever heard of any serious effort on the part of the authorities to have the recommendations in that report made operative? ———_~+=___ Mr. Hill is reported to be devoting himself very largely to promoting harmony.

SHOOTING STARS. An Irreverent Young Woman. “Do you read Dante?’ asked the young man. “No,” replied Miss Flipleigh, “I really don’t care for Italian chestnuts, you know.” Answered. The pretty girl who yesterday Essayed to ride the bike, Brings out her bloomers when they ask Her what fall styles are like. “Some men,” said Uncle Eben, “am des like dat yaller dawg ob min’. Ef he kain’t git noticed no uddah way he’s puflickly willin’ ter take a beatin’.” A Consideration. “I'll bet I could stand for four rounds in the ring with Corbett.” “That's nonsense. You overlook the first essential to a meeting.” “What's that?” “First catch your Corbett.” ‘What Made the Trouble. “He done brought de trouble on hisse’f,” said Mr. Erastus Pinkley. “I treated him laik er gemman, I did, t’'well be made re- mahks ‘bout mer singin’, Den I had ter damage ‘is beauty.” “What did he say?” “He said dat I had er fine tenor voice. On’y my mouf wus so big dat de echoes got in an’ spiled de chune.” The Search for Solitude. “Good sir,” said the stranger, who paused to accost An idler in dreaming apparently lost, “Will you give me a word? For I’m sure that I find In you one adapted to my frame of mind. I'm seeking a place that is far, far away; From the din of the mart and from fash- jon’s array; Some spot where in quiet my thoughts may be turned To the things which in solitude only are learned; Where the ring of the hammer ne’er star- tles the air; Where no derrick sends forth its shrill message of care; Where the birds undisturbed sing and flutter around— Oh, tell, if you can, where this spot may be found.” oe ee wo “Alas, sad repiner,” the idler replied, Your search you might push through the world, far and wide, Without finding a spot more congenial to you Than our post-office building. confronting —_—_+-2>____ The Millennium Post Office. From the Washington Times. The Evening Star has gone straight to the bottom of a question which interests every resident of Washington. It has compused the time necessary to complete the new post-office building at the present rate of progress, and fixes on the year 1900 as the date, reckoned by the amount of work done yesterday. Chairman Sayers of the House Committee on Appropriations, is quoted as saying that there 1s no lack of money for pushing the construction to completion, and he intimates that the delay is caused by those to whose irterests it is that Uncle Sam continue to pay rent for the departments which will eventually find a home in the new post-office building. Such a theory is certainly plausi- bie, and it is entirely clear that some objec- tion, other than that of mechanical con- struction, is responsible for the present eye- sore on Pennsylvania avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth street: The Times believes that the matter can be remedied by the application of a little judi- cious agitation, such, indeed, as our after- noon neighbor has begun. If the press of the city were a unit in the fight it is safe to say that a larger force than thirty-two men and one boy would be at work on the most important municipal structure ever undertaken in this city. —-___ + += An Objection. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The difficulty of some American cities in ridding themselves of gamblers leads a cotemporary to hint to that fraternity that there are no anti-gambling laws in either Patagonia or Greenland. True, but the sug- gestion is unavailable to the profession by reason of the fact that there is an equal absence in those countries of the great American sucker. —_ ree Might Be Effective.
