THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. |ONDAY............November 12, 1894. CROSBY 5S. NOYES. . -Edlt VHe EVENING STAR has a regular ana permanent cireulation much more than the combined circulation o: her Washington dailies. As a md Advertis' Medium it no competitor. C7 in order to av count of persoual at THE STAN should not be addressed to any individusl connected with the of- flee, bui simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Basiness Departments, according to tenor or purpose. in extending the beneficent and busine like rules which have behind them the authority of the civil service law, he might properly and with profit to the nation in- clude within the broadened and broadening dimits a branch of the public service in which the spotisman has done a great deal of damage; that is the consular service. Many arguments have been made in behalf of that variety of reform, but none of them has been more Girectly to the point than the one which was contributed to the Oct ber Century by Lambert ‘Tree, who has served the United States as minister to Belgium and minister to Russia. Judge ‘Tree is a democrat of the thoroughly con- setentious sort, who believes in giving the public as much as possible for its money. Opening up his contention by stating that {t requires several years of service to make an eiticient consul—by whieh is meant in- timacy with the commercial conditions and the language of the country in which he is to stationed—Judge ‘Tree proceeds show how extremely foolish and wasteful is the ely-political method, “It is evi- says he, ‘that under our present system of changing these officers on the advent of every new administration the American consul has neither a fair chance to become conversant with any other lan- guage, nor the chance to equip himself for | his duties as thorough!y as be usuaily finds | his colleagues from other fore countries . At the appointee is in- takes an interest in his eful to the govern- at the same p: telligent, and duties, he is far more us ment at the expiration of four years than | / at any shorter pericd of his service.” Judge ‘Tres’s remedy is the putting of the consular service on a footing similar to the Army and Navy, a man ought to be pre- pared for the important duties just as men are in other countries in which there is much more of appreciation of the value of a@ first-class consul than there is In the United States. ‘The eivil-pension-list idea is far from popular in this country, but he does not hesitate to insist that in addition to continuity of service tnere should be assurance of a pension when the consul shall have served a certain number of years. Other men in pubiie life have made sug- gestions similar to that now advanced by Ex-Minister ‘free, but his conclusions are entitled to especial consideration because of his experience as a diplomat. ————— As a rule the average American news- paper presents to its readers as nearly as possible a truthful picture of the news which comes to it from various sources. Once in a while a journal exists for a few years although encumbered by a reputa- tion for sensationalism and inaccuracy, but most of such veutures die young. There comes from Denver a story that all the paperg in this country will print more or less oi—a story in which is made plain the fact tnat nearly all the men who were can- didates on the populist state ticket in Col- orado met Saturday evening at Gov. Waite's official headquarters and then and there told him, who had been their leader, just what they thought of him. The principal orator seems to have been the gifted Late Pence, and he is alleged to have informed his late chief that the sooner the entire Waite crowd hied themselves to a desert place the better it would be for the populist party and the balance of mankind. “We Want no more long-haired, wild-eyed anar- chists and socialists in the party,” said he, “and the quicker you and your office-grab- bing friends take yourselves away the bet- ter you will be liked." The dispatch fur- thermore states that so vigorous was the assault that “for the first tfne since com- ing to Denver Waite was speechless.” ‘This latter statement is so manifestly absurd as to be beyond credence. It is weil enough to announce that a considerable proportion of Colorado's popu'ists have lost all conti- dence in Dayis H. Waite, and it can readily be believed that some of the more courage- ous of the discontented relieved their minds | in the presence of their one-time idol, but | it is asking too much when com) ense readers of newspapers are requested to swallow an allegation which insists that the governor was speechle Such a charge | can never be preferred against Mr. Waite until the undert Denver corresp ris througa with him. } ndents siiould pay more at- tention to accuracy than to picturesque- ness. 1 — oe ‘There are two men at work on the city post tor Ac- ecrding to caiculation seventy-two » eties Saouid be able to the structure by gust 1G, Usui, & conclusion, however, is impossible; the buiiding will probably be incomplete ten years irom that date.

That inquiry into the methods and misdo- ings of the Gotham police has really been of national importance instead, as st prom- ised at first, of being a purely local matter. This is because there is a growing sus- picion in the minds of many citizens that civie me city or one state; tendency to take that it has a vicious root wherever the: great community.

And in, it was - y a bit of clever management on the part of the committee, but more especially Mr. Goff, the candidate of the- reformers for ‘ciate what orruptfn is by no means coniined to |, | From the THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. the highest judicial position in the gift of the people of New York, to so time the ex- posures that the city should have been left by the adjournment of the committee in a state of great ferment of indignation. It was feared when the work was begun months ago that the flurry of resentment on the part of the better-inclined citizens would have blown off before the elections took place. Whatever of party Zeeling there may have been behind the committee and its work, the fundamental fact still remains that such exposures are punishable in but one way and at one place—by votes at the polls. Therefore it was not more than justice that the scandal should have been so managed that it should culminate just before election. If the people of New York voted while in a white heat of feel- ing against Tammany and its methods, so much the better for good government and decent administration of cities. If the com- mittee took a recess not with the work practically finished, but just as Mr. Goff was beginning to “go up higher,” so that “the people had before them the duty of Voting solidly against the machine when they had a chance, on the theory that there could not fail to be more to come of the same unhappy sort, then so much mere sained for purity in politics. It was cer- tainly a case where the end justified the means, and no one who will look at the question impartially can fall to commend Mr. Goff for his cleverness, even though there should have been somewhat of a selfish motive within him. While Mr. Goff has secured the recordership the people of New York have been given a Suarantee of a cessation of the reign of terror under which the municipality has been practically suffering for years, and the people of the nation at large have been given an object lesson that cannot fail to Froduce good results in other fields. There- fore the closing sessions of the Lexow com- mittee in New York will be regarded as quite as important as though the election were still to take place, and the people of the country generally will watch the pro- ceedings with just as much inte: Al ready comes the suggestion that Chicago should be purged, and no doubt the same thought is in the minds of citizens of many other communitie: — ee “Up at democratic headquarters in the Park Avenue Hotel Perry Belmont and Col, Jcha Tracey and a few others heard the dismal news.
