As a News Advertising Medium it has no competitor. yin order t f t simply to THE STAR, rial or Business Departments, Consequent upon the changes in the city pestmastership will surely be a rush for office by a number of persons—resident and non-resident—who believe themselves enti- tled to recognition because at some time or other they have toiled for the suctess of the political party now in power and to Which the newly appointed postmaster be- longs It is extremely improbable that it will be urged either by or in behalf of the applicants for place under the new admin- istration of post-office affairs that there is especial fitness; the one material claim will be based upon the fact that services—more or legs valuable—were rendered, not to the government, but to a purely political organ- ization. There was a time when that was the Most effective indorsement but the light of that day is fading steadily away; a condition undoubtedly recognized by Mr. Willett, who said to a Star reporter yesterday: “The post- office is a business office, and should be con- ducted on business principles. It will be my sole aim to conduct it in accordance with that idea.” Words like those uttered by scme men would be regarded as only of lit- tle moment; to be forgotten as soon as Policy suggested the necessity for a lapse of memory. Coming from Mr. Willett, though, they are pregnant with meaning and must be accepted as entirely honest and worthy nce. The force at present employed city post-oifice is unquestionably the capable; the service it renders is evidence of that fact. In view, therefore, of thig satisfactory condition and of Mr. Willett’s utterances as to the manner in which he purposes conducting the office, there {s no reason for supposing that any considerable number of changes will be made in the per- sonnel of an establishment in which the pubife is so deeply interested. It can un- hesitatingly be stated that the people gen- erally care little or nothing 1s to the political belief of the postmaster or of any of his subordinates; the demand ts for the best possible service, and that Mr. Willett will surely give the city of Washington even though he should have to disappoint some of the hungry ones who are already seekers after salary. ——__+ e + __—_ An interesting contribution to current campaign literature is the di ch sent to ‘The Star yesterday by a staff correspon- dent now in New York. In that column and @ halt of solid news ard reasonable con- Jecture one statement shines conspicuously; it relates to Tammany’s activity in behalf of the state ticket and to comparative in- feriority of Tammany effort in the munt- elpal fight. It says that Tammary appears to be more anxious to have the democratic state ticket 4 success than to win in New York city, and explains why that ts prob- ably so by showing that if the state is lost to the democracy Tammany is quite likely to be legislated out of power. If that is really the situation—and there is every reason for believing it so—then it will be impossjble for any New Yorker who desires the remeval of the stigma Tammany casts upon the whole state to vote any ticket that has Tammany’s support. During the past week there has been a good deal of duplex politics in New York. Many efforts have been made to persuade independent dem- ecrats to vote for Strong in the city and Hill in the state, and it cannot be doubted that very many voters have arranged so to do. But as election day draws nearer the number thus influenced Is more likely to decrease than to increase, for there is yut the whole of the Empire State ent strongly favorable to the com- te araihilation of Tammany; and once it is made plain that Tammany’s continued existence depends upon the present success of David B. Hill all the argument and all the probabilities will necessarily be found with the opposition. Senator Hill has many qualities that compel admiration—his popu- larity is widespread—but !f he and Tam- many are interdependent he will have no right to complain if in their endeavor to destroy Tammany the people of New York do serious damage to the senator's political aspirations. soe etition has been put in etrculation in this city praying Congress to provide for additional members of the District Fire Department and to increase the salaries of the officers and men connected with it to figures more commensurate with the im- portance and value of their duties. It shouid receive the signature of every resi- dent of Washington. Recognition of the inadequacy of the present department to suiticiently protect the property under its care from disaster should compel the in- crease of {ts numerical and mechanical strength, and justice to the brave men who are connected with It should inspire the national legislators to more fairly re- munerate them. The firemen not only have to care for themselves, but give up a considerable percentage of thelr salaries in order to support a relief fund for the bene- fit of their comrades who may be injured, as well as for the support of the widows and orphans of the poor fellows who may meet their deaths while courageously per- forming the duties of thetr dangerous call- ing. A passage of the bill prayed for in the petition would be a wise and meritorious proceeding, and it Is to be hoped that the volee of the District people will demand it in such a unanimous chorus that Congress will heed in spite of the clamor of other in- terests for consideration. Let the petition, therefore, be signed b; ybody and then let everybody with any degree of influence upon Senators or Representatives exert every personal effort in behalf of the Fire- man’s Relief Bill, Such a course will make it a law. A — > e-—____ There are fifty-three men at work on the city post-office building today. Fifty-three men of the right varieties might, according to The Star’s more than liberal estimate, complete the structure by June 7, 1807. As @ matter of fact, such celerity we be astounding. August 17, 1906, {s about the earliest possible date. Two yea months and eleven days have elaps the building was begun. —+- 6 —_—_—__—- Mr. John Boyd Thacher has broken out in a new place. For a long time iis nai has been prominent in cennection with the most liberate of the World’s Fair bu- reaux of awhile ago he appeared in the guise a politiclan who was even anxlous to jo personal Sterests upon the altar is party by accepting a gubernatorial nation that with himself as the nom- | coukl have resulted only democratic defeat, today he stands before the public es a humorist New Yorkers who are deeply interested in the lidacy of Sen- ator Zilli have ieaned heavily on the hope that Secretary Carlisle would deliver him- cif of at least one speech in New York be- fore Tuesday next, and none of the sup- Hill has been more enthusiast in expe as to etary Car- isles j than Mr. Thacher. Mr. 1 wful now, but he con- evals hi 1 4 curtain woven term satire. In a carefully prepared Mr. Thacher said yesterday: “I received word just now from a high governmeat official that Mr. Carlisle would have gladly spoken for us, except for a pressure of public business which suddenly came upon him. It is characteristic of a democratic official that a public trust takes precedence of a party call. No one can criticise Mr. Carlisle for his decision. On the other hand, it reflects credit on democ- racy, and is another proof that the party when intrusted with power will sacrifice €ven its own temporary interest to the ful- fillment of public duties. Of course Mr. Carlisle realizes that a democratic defeat this fall means tariff reform defeat— means an advers® verdict by the people on Mr. Cleveland and the policy so dear to Mr: Carlisle himself, and yet, rather than neglect his official duties at this critical period In the history of the party, he stops faithfully at his desk to perform his offictal duty. The true democrat can safely be in- trusted with the people's interest.” Of course it is possible and even probable that Secretary Carlisle is suffering at this time from a pressure of public business, and if that be so the Secretary is entitled to all praise for preferring the public wel- fare to party advantage. It is Interesting, however, to nete that while Mr. John Boyd Thacher is holding Secretary Carlisle up to the popular gaze as the ideal dem- ocrat several of Mr. John Boyd Thacher’s political associates are insisting that the administration ‘Is “anti-democratic. Prest- dent Cleveland should give Mr. Thacher the appointment of court jester. see « The report that Mr. Croker will not bet on the election may be intended to give as- surance that he is a reformed politician; and then again tt may be an evidence of that acute perception as to his financial in- terests for which Mr. Croker is famed. — see The fact that Japan has captured her war-ships will doubtless be regarded by China as a Misfortune, Nevertheless, there is great likelihood that the occurrence will save a large number of the celestial popu- ation from drowning. statement ——— Hayti and San Domingo are having a bit of a quarrel; just enough to keep up the reputation of the neighborhood, see Mr. Sheehan of New York does not pro- pose to permit his bank book to associate with the reporter's note book, see!

The very best service Mr. Carlisle can now render the democracy of New York Is instantly to set Howard free and make the best apology he can for the outrage. Even at this late day it will be worth while to show that a rep- resentative of the democratic administra- tion respects the Constitution, the laws and the rights of men. From the Omaha Bee. Eugene Debs says that there wi evel be another strike like the last phe which he engineered. It is to be hoped not. One experience of that kind is quite enough for a country of even the resources of the United States. There must be legislation enacted to prevent the recurrence of labor troubles upon the railroads. If the Ameri- can Railway Union will exert itself to this end, the balance of good accomplished may be speedily weighed down in its favor and its popularity restored. ——-—_~+ ++ The Renl Test.
