4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1804—TWENTY PAGES. — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY ..--. October 6, 1804. CROSBY 8S. NOYES......... Editor. THE EVENING STAR bas 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. Awakened doubtless by the loss of life at the Stumph fire, Building Inspector Ent- wisle has been looking into the condition of affairs at the Government Printing Office, end «s a result of his investigation, has notified" those in authority that three addi- tional fire-escapes are immediately neces- sary. With this conclusion no one who has any acquainance with the rickety structure will disagree. As a matter of fact, half a dozen additional fire-escapes would not be too many to accommodate the crowd that May at any moment be driven to its wits’ ends in search of rational means of exit. During the past six or veven years many amendatory changes have been made in the interior arraagements of the building—most of them having in view the protection of the thousands of employes—but all have necessarily fallen short of doing that which in the name of humanity should have been done a long time ago. Never was Congress more persistently petitioned as to any pub- He building than it has been in behalf of a new Government Printing Office. The old Structure has for a long time been over- crowded and overburdened; ventilation is impossible and no change short of entire re- construction could possibly fit the place for the uses to which it is put. Congress, how- ever, was more mindful of the interests of Persistent real-estate speculators than it ‘was of the welfare of government em- Ployes, so every effort to make available money long-ago appropriated came to aught. A little sop was thrown, however, im the shape of a small appropriation to be devoted to adding new safeguards to the many makeshift devices already tn opera- tion. That some of this money should be devoted to the purchase of fire-escapes is a quite proper proceeding; the interior of the building has been pillared and braced and shored up and nailed down until anything like improvement is impossible. What is needed is x suitable and well-built structure adapted to the printing and book-binding businesses; strong enough to stand still when a middle-weight man walks across the tloor or runs down stairs, ————+2e—__.. Deeply-interesting political campaigns are hot rare in the United States; in fact, cam- Faigns that are not deeply interesting are the exception rather than the rule. But the struggie that is now fairly on promises to b> more exciting than any which has taken place since 1876. The possibilities point to the next presidential election being placed im the hands of the House of Representa- tives for iinai settlement, and as the popu- list vote may elect a number of members sufficient to hold the balance of power in the popular branch of Congress, the Amer- ican people have every reason for watching with more than ordinary vigilance the events which from now until election day Will contribute so materially to our political history. Recognizing the general desire to b> fully informed as to all manner of politi- cai movements, The Star has arranged for Trost comprehensive political correspond- ence. In every state The Star will have at least on correspondent upon whose judg- ment and honesty of statement full depend- ence may be placed; in some of the states where the contests will surely be phenom- erally warm The Star will have as many correspondents as the situation seems to call for. During the last presidential cam- paign, The Star's political news wAs remark- abiy full and accurate; this year it will be alt that ean be desired. Completely inde- perdent, The Star will not hesitate to tell the whole truth. : —- oe Fort Myer is now in the possession of its new garrison, four troops of the Sixth Cav- ality, commanded by Col. David 8. Gordon, having arrived thereat. Washington wel- comes the soldiers from the west as warmly as it, three years ago, welcomed those other ‘Western warriors who have just departed for far-away stations. Col. Gordon and his men may, by this time, have discovered that, in some respects, the quarters at Fort Myer are inferior to these at Niobrara, but the inferiority is not likely to be long-con- tinued. For some reason or other—much be- yond the understanding of those who have endeavored to find a reasam for the per- sistent short-comings of inanimate Fort Myer—the War Department has not takev anything like as much interest in the build- ings and equipment of the post as it should dave done. Here, at the national capital, the model should be set up; Fort Myer is fontinually on exhibition, and it ought, %herefore, to be @ credit to the country. Perhaps, when the new buildings are being put up to accommodate the additional troops that will, it is expected, be ordered to Myer in the spring, improvements will be made which will remove a reproach that now has good reason for existence. wee Today—an admirable day for outdoor construction—there were forty men em- ployed on the new city post office building Forty good men and true might, by apply- ing themselves closely to business, com- Plete the structure by July 6, 1900. The daily number of workers has not varied materially as yet from The Star's estimate of twenty. That average would give us « reasonably complete post office by August 17, 1006. —_—_»eo— Washingtonians have been led to believe that the snilitary tion which is the city’s reserve » force—the District Na- perfect as any ticnal Guard—is as nearly brigad r om is red nes of military energy t con- impres: but that a s been made manifest by which we Suess, com- From the ave been issued ss has been gathered the con- battalion commanders have rtant duty and by so sed a most unsoidi Variety of ea! commissioned or when a man is enli an oath is taken which is not a meaning- less string of words; every man who sub- scribes to it binds himself to serve faithful- ly in the capacity to which he has been called or for which he has volunteered. The duy of the play-soldier has gone by. The Natio Guardsman of this time should be, and in many instances is, far super! to those who, at a few years ago, were arded as military experts. Rut a ttle = hile ago and nothing more was re- quire @ militiaman than a sufliciency of Knowledse which would enable him to dis- Unguish his left foot from his right and the butt end of his ciumsy musket from the hardly more dangerous muz: Rifle prac- tice was unknown to the great mass of militia; guard duty was simply farcical; skirmiss-driit undreamed of. No attention Whatever was paid to the training of ‘roops for the possibility of field duty; street riot rills had not been invented. Now vid things have passed away and all things have me new. The National Guards- man of 3804 should be as well informed as the soldier of the regular army on all es- sential matters. Major Suess proposes that his men, at least, shall be present when the work of instruction is going on. He insists that every officer and enlisted man in his battalion shall obey orders to assemble or shall be properly excused. Strangely enough ‘scme members of the local brigade have re- garded the tronclad regulations now in force in the Fifth battalion as over-strict; such criticism is without reasonable foundation, for when a man swears to perform National Guard duty and fails to live up to the solemn obligation, it then becomes the duty of those who are in authority over him to enforce the law—the law which says that an officer may place under arrest those of his command who default, and may hold them in confinement until the drill or other duty named in the order shall be concluded. It would be well for the District National Guard :f the example set by Major Suess is followed by all those who are responsible for the efficiency of the organization. The People of the District of Columbia annually contribute toward the support of the Guard; @ small sum it {s true, but large enough to give the public a right to insist that those who desire to use the Guard for display Purposes only shall elther be compelled to do their duty or be forced out of the service. It is probable that such stringent measures as those adopted by Major Suess could not easily have been enforced during the earlier history of the Guard, but it is certain that the organization is now strong enough to Stand the loss of even a considerable per- centage of its membership. It is argued that the brigade {s in comparatively first- class condition, that it is far superior to similar bodies in very many of the states. That allegation may be perfectly true—it doubtless is—but even admitting that to be the case It must be conceded that Major Suess ts dotng precisely the right thing when he discourages a too-general tendency toward disobedience of orders. ——~-++ Americans generally and Chicago people especially are likely to claim that the Columbian Exposition w: te greatest affair of the sort the world has ever seen and that all that come after must pale into comparative insignificance. We have ground for this feeling, of course, but at the same time there are some matters in which other nations can give us pointers. For instance, im the case of the exposition at Antwerp, which, at best, a0 one ever claimed could ever make much of a showing beside the great sun-burst at Chicago, the awards have already been made and, although the exposition is but just drawing to a close. all the prizes, diplomas and medals were awarded Tuesday. Up to a late hour this afternoon nothing had been heard of any contested awards among the beer exhibits and, in fact, the whole affair seems to have given general satisfaction. It does seem a little curious, though, that the awards for the Antwerp exhibition of 1894 should have been given out before those of the Chicago show of 1843. One wonders how Mr. John Boyd Thacher feels about it all, Possibly the chairman of the committee on awards at Antwerp was not laying his pipes to be elected governor of a state and so had time left to look after the interests of the exhib- itors. The suspicion is gaining ground that the Chicago people are holding back until the Washington City post-office is com- pleted, so that they can use the great rotunda for the exercises in connection with the presentauon of awards. And yet the standing fault that Europeans find with us as a nation is that we are such a nervous, energetic people and always in such a hurry. ———__ + = —__—_. A feature of the Chinese-Japanese war which may cause the United States govern- ment to arise in its place and make a few remarks is that which affects the security of the mails. Dispatches published today quote an agent of the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company as saying that letters sent by officers of the United States cruiser Bal- timore to their families while the vessel was at Chemuipo were inspected by the Japan- ese. “The letters," said Mr. Van Buren (the agent in question), “necessarily had to go by way of Yokohama and the Japanese took on themselves the privilege of opening the letters for fear they might contain in- formation of a nature which might be detri- mental to Japanese interests.” Such a charge as that will surely be investigated by this government and if it is proven to be well founded, then the guilty ones must speedily be called to account. No other na- tion on earth would submit to such an in- dignity as Is alleged in this instance to have been inflicted upon representatives of the United States. American sympathy is strongly with Japan in this conflict but the Japanese should know better than to im- pose upon our evident friendship. Inter- ference with English or French,or German mall would cause Japan at least one un- easy hait hour. —__++—____ When Mr. Hill says he will run for Gov- ernor he doubtiess puts the accent on the “sen.” There is no ground for suspecting that it will be walk-over. ———— The sincere statesman ‘s always confident that his purticular boom {is an essential por- tion of the ship of state's sailing apparatus. ——— Mr. Hili's hunt for harmony is one of the most emphatic indications of a de- termination to face the music. ——— ee The democratic losses in Georgia have en- couraged ‘Tom Watsun to peer over the edge of the soup, tureen once more. a One of the most formidable features of the war in Asia is the war map epidemic that it has precipitated. — Japan will doubtless remember the fate of Mr. Debs ard refram from meddling with the United States mails. a ‘There is an evident determination in Asia to make new trouble for tae small boy who studies geography. ee Fiying Jib’s Performance.

They say Senator Hill sleeps only four hours out of each twenty-four, and even then he generally keeps one eye open. THE WEEK. The political events of the week have in- creased the encouragement of the republi- cans caused by the Maine and Vermont elections. The town elections in Connecti- cut showed heavy republican gains, while in the Georgia state election the former democratic majority of over 70,000 was re- duced to 20,000 and perhaps less. Big gains are claimed by the populists. The political situation in New York continues prat- tically unchanged. Judge Gaynor has declined the democratic nomination for the supreme court. There has been considerable talk of a third state tick- et by the leaders of the anti-snappers, but the rank and file of the independent democrats are said to oppose the movement. Mr. Morton and the other candidates on the republican ticket in New York were notified of their nomination and formally accepted. Gov. McKinley continued his western tour, opening the republican cam- paign with a speech at St. Louts. He made @ number of speeches in Kansas and was given an ovation at Omaha. The Ohio dem- ocratic executive committee issued an ad- dress claiming that the tariff question had been settled and that the fight was now for the free coinage of silver. The administra- tion democrats at Washington disapprove this stand. The Lexow committee investi- gating the police department in New York reassembled after a fortnight’s intermission and some sensational testimony was heard regarding intimidation by blue coats. A movement has in Chicago against houses of ill-repute. Postmaster Hesing of Chicago had ordered the parade and inspec- tion of the letter carriers on Sunday. This vas modified by Acting Postmaster General Jones to be an inspection in the corridors or in front of the several it office stations. Censiderable opposition had been made by citizens to the Sunday parade. A great deal of space was given in the newspapers to ut- terances by Fitzsimmons, the middle-weight pugilistic champion, and Corbett, the heavy- weight champion, regarding a match which the former wants to make. After a great deal of objection, Corbett agreed to meet the other and arrange terms for a fight. A cyclone swept through Arkansas, causing several deaths at Little Rock and great de- struction. Fifty corpses were washed up on the coast of Florida, victims of the recent +hurricane. The New York and Baltimore ball clubs began a series of games the Temple cup. Foreign. Considerable excitement was caused in London early in the week by the sudden calling of the cabinet. It was said that the meeting was to consider France's attitude in claiming a protectorate over Madagas-ar and that this would be resisted. The of- fictals, however, intimated that it was to provide protection for British residents in China in view of the excited state of things in that country. The speculation was then made that tt was to check a Russian al- Nance with Japan and to keep her from profiting from a partition of China. The massing of French troops at Tonquin gave rise to the belief that France was not going to stand by idly while Germany dispatches more war vessels to the scene. The situa- tion of affairs in the east has thus become one of absorbing interest, and the fight be- tween Japan and China drops into insignifi- cance. A plot to assassinate the Sultan of ‘Turkey was discovered and frustrated. The condition of the czar continues bad and no hope of recovery is given. Reports of his death have been repeatedly circulated. Sir Joseph Revals was chosen lord mayor of London. Jn the District. Two events of interest in military circles occurred during the past week; one was the visit to this city @ the guests of the Wash- ington Light Infantry of Boston's crack military company, the Ancient and Honora- ble Artillery Company, while the other was the change in the cAvalry troops at Fort Myer; mutual regrets were expressed by seldiers and citizens at the transfer made necessary by army orders. The ex- pected reorganization of the bureaus of the Treasury Department, made in accordance with the provisions of the new law, took place, and there was relief felt by the clerical force when the period of suspense was over; eleven bureaus were affected by the changes, and some ninety-two employes were placed on the temporary roll, forty having previously been dismissed, ‘The doors of the colleges of the city and institutions of learning were in many cases opened for the new school year; the in- augural exercises showed attendance of increased classes of students. In Hebrew circles the celebration of the festival of the New Year was generally observed. After an absence of more than twelve years Capt. Howgate, the defaulting ex-disbursing otfi- cer of the weather bureau, was brought back to the city and placed in jail to await his trial. An important step was taken in the work of putting in a new motive power on the Metropolitan street railroad by a meeting cf the stockholders, when an issue of $1,700,000 in bonds was authorized. An old d highly respected citizen, Mr. John T. Given, closed his earthly career. ——- wee —— SHOOTING STARS. A Common Trait.
