6 oo Se ad THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WTUESDAY............ November 20, 1894. CROSBY 8. NOYES.... @HUE EVENING STAR has a regular al permanent cireulation much more than the combined circulation of 7 fice, but «imply THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Departments, according to tenor or purpose. The Star today prints additional con- tributions to the discussion which is con- sequent upon the board of trade's adverse action on the resolution indorsing exten- sion of the civil service rules so as to in- clude employes of the District government. Im the communications in question there is no conteation adverse to civil service reform; one Is based upon the unfounded idea that the amended law would operate to the advantage of non-residents who de- sire official place, while the other devotes itself to a techuical and extremely narrow construction of the expressed duties of the board of trade. The Star has endeav- red to make plain the fact that under the present civil service law it is not legally possible for President Cleveland to extend the rules to the District government, and it has also given such assurances as it prop- erly might that the proposed amendment to the statute would provide ample protec- tion for bona fide residents of the District of Columbia. The resolution that was laid before the board and tabled by a hasty vote contemplated nothing more than a general endorsement of an eminently proper civil service proposition; it was open to ail manner of amendment, and had it been debated with the understand- ing that now exists would be in such shape as to be unexceptionable to any save these who are opposed to even the mildest variety of civil service reform. It is not at all unlikely that the amendment which Congress will be asked to make to the present law will be presented to the board of trade for consideration and action; as a matter of course the amendment will con- tain a fome-rule proviso. As to the proper scope of the duties of this or any other board of trade there ap- pears to be some difference of opinion, but the probabilities are that only a small mixority of those who are openly inter- ested wiil advocate any such circumscrib- ing of the board's powers as have been and are suggested by one or two members of the organization. To The Star it seems manifestly absurd to declare that it would be improper for the board of trade to dis- cuss misgovernment of the city. Suppose, for instance, the police department was thoroughly disorganized and as a cense- quence burglaries became common; or if the fire department was practically worth- jess and much valuable property was need- jessly destroyed; or if the tax rate or real estate assessments were so adjusted as to work great injury to the uexpayers and to the city wenerally. In any or all such matters would it not be the duty of the board of trade to take # firm stand on the side of municipal reform and to do every- thing in its power to bring about an era of good government. The material inter- €sts of this city cannot be figured out as so many niilion brick, so many feet of lumber, so many tons of smortar, and so much realty. —__~e > ___. Washingtonians who have necessarily been interested in the steam railroad problem as it exists in the District of Co- jumbia cannot but hope that as the result of an intimation by the Court of Appeals beneficial changes—beneticial to the public —may soon be made by at least one of the twansportation companies doing business here. in a carefully-framed opinion, the court says: “Ihe question of the right of the raliroad (the Baitimore and Potomac) to occupy Maryland avenue and the public space between Sixth and Ninth streets in the manner in which it has been shown to do in this case is open to very grave doubt. This is a question that should be settled in some appropriate proceeding.” That such proceeding will be had is the sincere wish ef many people who cannot avoid feeling the discrimination that has unquestionably been made against this city. Elsewhere, the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio companies have exerted themselves to im- prove their property and to come into the closest possible accord with the proper sentiment of the communities with which their material interests are so closely linked. But at the national capital they are content with all manner of inferior equipment. and seem to be satisfied with an appearance of poverty that any self- respecting corporation could hardly be otherwise than ashamed of. Year after year wideawake citizens, have done the best they could to work at least compara- lve reformation, but the corporations have fought every effort, and successfully. That they will always be successful is an un- reasonable conclusion, and one upon which should not depend overmuch. The is not far distant when a Congress, day upmindful of the merely selfish interests of the railroad companies, will come into being and will do those things forcibly and hastily for which the peopie of the District of Columbia have so respectfully petitioned and patiently waited. Sone Those who profess to be in favor of civil service reform, but opposed to its applica- tion to the District of Columbia, are like the down east politician who was in favor of the Maine law but against Its enforce- ment. os Emma Goldman would probably break loose into oratory again if it were not for the great doubt as to her ability to attract attention. Anarchy is very much of a back number during the present industrial re- vival. nee a serions situation with which of Alabama f& now confronted, yet it the werdy strife of today should be suceeeded by actual combat in the near future aml by the loss of many lives of That ts the state greater or less value, the awful result wou not be unexpected, for the poli- tictans of the state have most llveral! sown and the entire common- the wind must porticipate In the reaping of nirlwind. In the controversy now on ‘e no complications because of the estion; the fight is between two fa2- tions of white men—both equally dete: mined. The official count of the vote for governor gave to William C. Oates, demo- crat, a majority of 27,582, and with that count as his authority, Governor Jones has declared William C. Oates his duly elected successor, Competing with William C. Oates for ubernaterial honor was Reuben F. Kolb, the candidate of the pop list party. In an appeal issued to the peo- ple of Alabama, Kolb declares flatly -that the majority which is credited to Oates was fraudulently constructed, and that, a3 a matter of fact, Kolb and not Gai was elected » therefore announces h intention to be his duty t emphatic es to His he beliey Alabama. wge wha “You, me gov by the good people of ernor. December 1 law for the irat that day I shall be purpose of taking seat a5 gove And I here the good people in ry part $e aid me all in their power in Ux nd and the help o} Alabama, I will he g nd s the day fixed by the on yoke of of and peaceable upholding of the law and to set aside the powers of the traitors and usurpers in Alabama. I appeal to my friends and supporters from all parts of the state to be in Montgomery on the Ist day of December, 1894, there and then to give me their ald and support, in a lawful and peaceable manner, to vindicate their liberties. I counsel against any unlawful demonstration, but ask the presence and co-operation of free men in a necessary effort to enforce the law and carry out the will of the pecple.” Those who know Reuben Kolb are satis- fied that a physical corflict is inevitable that he will insist upon what he belleves to be his rights, no matter what the con- Sequences may be. William C. Oates Is rot unknown; he has many times partici- pated in scenés quite exciting as are likely to materialize in connection with the present trouble; he too will stand up until the last moment for the rights and privi- leges which he believes have been con- ferred upon him by the people of the state which he represented for so long a period in Congress. Governor Jones makes modest statement to the effect that Oates has been elected by the fairly-expressed will of a majority of the voters in Alabama and that it will be his duty to see to it that Oates ts duly installed in his office. That the power of the state will be used in be- half of Oates is certain. The question now is: Will the irregular forces of Kold be suth- cient to overawe or defeat the instruments who will be summoned by Governcr Jones? ——~ += —___. It has devolved upon a Connecticut wo- man to d«morstrate that the modeen foot- ball feld is not sc deadly as it has been pictured, Such a wéman has not only en- tered the fleld while a game was in prox: ress, but has waded rgcht into the thick of a scrimmage withvut losing even a bin. She was thers on business, and she accon plished it. Her two sons had stolen from their Stamford home to go to Bridge- port to take part in a game with a lucal eleven, and she had followed on a later train. The game was well along when she arrived at the grounds in a cab. She did not wait to ke aanounced, but went into the path of a flying wedge ard entered the melee with such spirit that when she emerged she had her two boys by the ears and ueld them so tightly that they could not escape. She led them from the field in this ignomixious style, leaving the Stam- ford eleven to struggle along with the ser- vices of a couple of substitutes. This is a serious invasion of the rights of Young America. Cannot something te done to protest the boys? Is not the gridiron to be sacred from such domestic invasions? Where is the vaunted lberty of Yankze institutioas? Where is the spirit of the Connecticut Purttans? Fie, fie! upon the neighhbois of old Yale! ——— +. There were forty-seven men employed upon the city post-oflice building today. If ‘The Star's extravagantly liberal estimate only held good—which it does not and is not expected to—forty-seven energetic and competent artisans should complete the structure by April 1, 188; but they could not. The old guess of a complete post otfice by August 17, 1906, is still good. tee The manner in which Alaska is looking up should not be unheeded by the popu- lists. Alaska has a large Population, ac- customed to use all sorts of odds and ends for money. One of the great questions which Con- sress has opened up for the benetit of de- bating societies is as to which is easier to pass—political pie or a tariff bill. ————_+ ++ —__ Mr. Dove does not appear 10 have been successful in getting a variety of olive branch that is satisfactory to the citizens of Hast Washington, ————++o Japan insists that China shall formally assume the decoration of the white feather. —_ -+ +2 Silence has come to be as much of a fad politically as the chrysanthemum is so- cially. “Say nothing about anything,” statesman’s watchword at present, SS eds she SHOOTING STARS.

From the Baltimore San, The public sentiment in favor of ctvil service reform in both federal and local affairs has been very much strengthened by recent developments of perversion of national patronage and of local misgov- ernment. It was alluded to more than once in the recent campaign that bosses in this or that locality were actually using the federal patronage which had been placed at their disposal in efforts to discounten- ance and discredit the democratic adminis- tration which had bestowed it upon them. Enlightened and disinterested public sen- timent would doubtless view with approval action of the executive as would ¢ all subordinate positions beyond the pale of removal for political reasons. oo oe ich Ix Better?” ston Times. tter?
