THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1894—TWELVE PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON FRIDAY.............November 23, 1894. “— s. —— the other Washington dailies. As a News ad Advertising Medium it competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- ba. let’ The hole must be small ileal through which the esteemed Post could not manage to squeeze when retreat is compulsory, but the indications are that the aperture is uncomfortably contracted just now and that even a professional wriggler is so situated that neither advance or retreat is possible. This is therefore a fitting time to make additional reply to the Post's ques- tion, propounded in its issue of yesterday; the question which asked: “Where is the commercial organization elsewhere, the chamber of commerce or the merchants’ exchange or other body of similar character, that ever went out of its way to pass resolutions laudatory of civil service reform or to urge its extension upon the public authorities?" The Star last evening stated specifically that such a commercial organization ex- isted, and had existed for one hundred and twenty-six years, in the city of New York; The Star quoted testimony to prove that the New York Chamber of Commerce had not only taken such action but had appro- priated large sums of money from its treas- ury to ald in crushing the Tammany spoils system and replacing it by a civil reform service. Our wriggling neighbor endeavors to evade the indictment by misquotation. It says: “It is true that Me. Charles Stewart Smith, ex-president of the chamber, sald that we must ‘get the civil service rules extended and modified if necessary,” but he did not say that it was necessary nor did anybody else have anything to say upon this subject.” Let us see what Mr. Smith did say. statement was: “We must apply the present civil service Tules to all subordinates employed by the city, and get them extended and modified, if necessary.” ‘The difference between the utterance and the Post's misquotation is so marked as to need no comment. But there were many other quotations, of much more real im- portance than the one that the Post en- deavored to pervert. That the Post is given to forgetfulness was made plain when it on one recent day avowed itself “a devout believer in the genuine virtues of civil service reform” and on the day following sneeringly referred to “the beau- ties of emasculated government, otherwise known as civil service reform,” but it can hardly be supposed that it has no recollection of having reiterated yesterday: “That the board of trade cannot recom- mend the proposed eatension of rules, either as essential to the reform of the District service or as a trade measure in the interest of ‘local business conditions,’ without seriously compromising its dig- nity, without committing a gross impro- priety or without laying itself open to out- side criticism, of which, in and out of Congress, it and the citizens of Wash- ington, together with it, would not hear the last for years.” Why then did it make no comment on the loudly-applauded speech of President Orr’ It could properly have done so, because if the digrity of our board of trade can be campromised by a resolution to exteud the civil service rules in the interest of moral- ity and business, to what a depth of igno- miny did the New York Chamber of Com- merce sink when it worked with all its vigor for municipal reform that in its com- prehensive greatness incluted not only re- form as to minor offices but also reform in what the spoils newspapers insist are polittcal affairs. The New York Chamber of Commerce waged war upon the spoils system; the Washington board of trade will surely do the same thing; not to such an extent, because the corditions here are rot so bad, but the fight is to the same end and the local victory will come as surely as it has come in New York. But leaving the New York Chamber of Com- merce out of consideration for awhile and returning to The Post's question as to “the commercial organization elsewhere” in- terested in civil service reform, The Star calls its wilfglly ignorant neighbor's tention to the vigor with which boards of trade have taken up the subject of civil service reform in the consular service. The Boston Merchants’ Association has said that “the whole consular service is emphatically business, and the ground plan upon which tt is to be conducted should be the same as that upon which business in general Is conducted;" the Denver Chamber of Commerce has adopted strongly-worded resolutions, urging immediate reform; sim- Mar action by other such bodies ts of record and will soon achieve publication in The Star. President Byers of the Denver Cham- ber of Commerce said recently: “I have long considered our consular service a dis- grace to the nation, and I see no better course for its reform than to confine tt strictly to civil serv! rules.” President Clough of the St. Paul Chamber of Com- merce writes as to the same matter—and tor the body of which he is the head: “Whatever will tend to promote the com- mercial interest of the country will be sure of our support.” President Levering of the Baltimore Board of Trade—on the same topic—says: “It is a matter in which the various commercial bodies of our country should take a practical interest.” Inasmuch as the Post does not readily re- spond to local sentiment, it may, perhaps, be influenced by the expressions of some of those undignified persons who are prom- inent in a broader and more truly national field. His ———___ +++ __ There were forty-five men employed on the City Post-office building today. Forty- five busy men might, according to ‘The Star's extravagantly-liberal calculation, complete the structure by September 14, 1888. The probabilities are that the build- ing will not be ready for occupancy as a post-office before August 17, 1006. It is two years, nine months and three days since the work was begun. —— «= —____ Now that the one-time possibility of ar- bitration by the United States as to the dif- ferences over which Japan and China are fighting has become impossible because of Japanese non-assent It is not unreasonable to imagine a great upheaval in China. Up to this time a large proportion of China's population has been entirely unaware of the strife which has been causing the Chinese government so much concern, but the news is slowly spreading throughout the vast empire, and is affording those who hate the present dynasty opportunity to organize many petty insurrections against the tottering power.that 1s now barely able to preserve its equillbrium at Pekin. The Star some time ago announced in its Chinese correspondence the likelihood of this trouble resulting in the dethroning of the emperor and the founding of a new dynasty upon lines more nearly modern than any China has as yet known. Since then it has been stated, upon what ap- pears to be reasonably good authority, that Li Hung Chang contemplates leading the revolt {n person; a conclusion by no means unreasonable when it Is remembered that the last vestige of his power under the present regime will vanish as soon as China finds itself compelled to sue Japan ly for that peace which is now neces- sary to the salvation of the Celestial King- dom. A singular feature of the war—one that is contributing materially to the com- plications that beset China—ts the fact that China’s native population is not at all averse to the coming of Japanese troops, but stands in mortal terror of any- thing like contact with its own soldiers. This is due to the fact that Japan has adopted and carries out a semi-concillatory policy, by which whatever supplies are needed for the support of the troops are purchased and paid for at the ruling mar- ket rate; thé Chinese soldiers live upon the country, and are brutal as soldiers pos- sibly can be. Even in some of the Chinese cities there is great fear of what may hap- pen when fragments of the defeated army begin to return. At Tien-Tsin the foreign residents have armed themselves and en- gage daily in drilling and in small-arms Practice, so as to make such defense as will probably be necessary as vigorous and as effective as possible. The few Chinese troops that are under discipline are entirely controlled by Li Hung Chang, and it will be truly surprising if the viceroy does not come out of the present disturbed situation very much better off than he was when hostilities commenced. —_——_~+e—___ The influence of the wise is not prompt in making itself felt.

England is as anxtous to end the war with China and Japan as she was to stop the ctvil war of the United States, and for exactly the same reason—her own in- terests are injured by the timidity war creates in commerce. She was willing to destroy this republic to get her cotton, and she is willing now to rob Japan of her well-earned rights to settle the Chinese war in her own way. The treaty ports are of more importance to England than any questions of equity between combatants. It is not surprising that England should sech her own advantage now as she sought it at our expense then. But it is surpris- ing that the government of the United States should not realize the real state of the case. —__ + e+ ___ An Amusing Performance, From the Washington Times. The Washington Post might as well keep right on arguing with outside newspapers that are patronizing enough to clip from its columns. When ft gets into the local arena with the twelve-page daily to which it refers as “an evening paper,” the elite sneer system and the heavy platonic style don’t seem to draw anything but smiles from the grand stand. —— An Effect of Woman Suffrage. From the Atehison Globe. An Atchisor girl rode over from Topeka the other day behind two Topeka men, and says that all they talked of during the ride was methods for making pancake- batter light and bread-dough rise. ——____ + += -—__ The Merchan nd Tradespeople. From the Washington Times.
