4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. November 24, 1594, CROSBY 8. NOYES... SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more tham the combined circulation of | the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. id delays, om ac- absence, letters to THE STAR should t be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but ly to THE STAR, or to the Editorial ness Departments, according t The Post now says “there is no need of further digression. It evidently seeks to make a virtue of necessity. It is helplessly fast in the narrow hole through which it tried to wriggle. Movement forward or to the rear is painful; digression, even to an expert digressor, practically Impossible. The Star has ‘lone all it set out to do. It has shown the utter emptiness of the assertion that no board of trade or other commercial organization ever indorsed civil service re- form. It has proven logically and clusively that It Is the duty of the Wash- ington Board of Trade to support the movement to extend civil service rules to local munteipal offices. It has convicted the Post of ignoratce, both natural and wilfu' and has compelled that organ of the spoils- men to acknowledge, by silence, misstate- ment and misquotation. It has made evi- dent to the people of the District of Co- lwnbia the spuriousness of the Post's alleged devotion to local interests. it has made it easy for the board of trade to adopt the resolution favoring the businesslike conduct of public affairs; in fact, has establisned beyond the reach of rational controversy that it is the board's Ddounden duty to give the resolution hearty support. Meantime, leaving the Post in its hole, the Star commends tc the attention of all concerned the wholesome doctrine set forth by President Orr, of the New York Chamber of Commerce, as follows: “If, then, from our standpoint of con- mercial guardianship, we have deemed it our imperative duty to ask for the investi- gation of departments of civic government whose administrations were immoral, in- competent and bad, is it not also our bounden duty to examine into the causes that have produced these evils, and, in our corporate capacity, demand their re- form? is it not truc that down in the se- eret places of all our hearts—that place where conscience is enthroned, and from which, either by our own act or any other influence, it cannot be evicted-we feel and iknow that it Is political domination in mu- nicipal affairs that lies at the root of all this wrong? And do we not also feel and know that (notwithstanding the glorious victory of a few days ago) there mot be any permanent improvement municipal government is lifted out of the arena of politics and political organiza- tions, and administered solely on business principles? Are you willing, as an asso- ciation, and if needs be from taking part in the determination of these important ques- tions, so vital to the commercial prosper- ity of this fair city, because it is claimed from a political standpiint, that municipal government is a combination of political interests, and not, as we believe, an agg gation of just and equitable business prin- ciples—that its control is a prize to be con- tended for by political parties—that its places of trust are the valid spoils of po- litical victories—and that commerce, through its representative associations lo- cated within its jurisdiction, has no rights of tion or protest that political par- tisans are in any way bound to respect? —__+e2+ ——_ The feminine ambition to vote has al- ready been gratified and as is the case where any appetite is satisfied, a new am- bition has arisen to take its place. Blue coats and brass buttons, badges and clubs are now demanded. The gentle tyranny of the sex is not content with being immortal- ized by the poets; it thirsts for recognition im the police records. There will be a feei- ing of security under such a regime that has never been known before. If the guar- dianess of the peace finds it necessary to use a revolver there will be no danger of her doing !t with the deadly effect that has been known to ensue in the cases of males— unless she shoots some man other than the one she is aiming at. She will reflect before she grabs a culprit ruthlessly by the collar and thumps good manners into him with a club, for such a proceeding will inevitably loosen her back hair. Moral suasion will be given a test such as it has never before en- Joyed and the movement may bring about @ millennial condition of things under which the masculine population will heed the municipal ordinances through pure force of gallantry. And that would be nice. —— There is a strong family likeness between railroad corporations no matter where thetr fiel@ of operations may chance to be. Just now Philadelphia is upset because the Philadelphia and Frankford Railroad has run tracks through an eight-acre park which was purchased some time ago by the city. It will be interesting to see what the Quaker City councils will do as to this matter. There has been a good deal of agi- tation in behalf of small parks scattered throughout the town—Washington being the exemplar—but the movement will never gain much headway if railroad companies are to be permitted to trespass as they please. In Washington there has been entirely too much of such conscienceless misconduct, but the limit appears to have been reached. The next railroad company that endeavors to steal a public park will have to put up the fight of Its life. tee % Mayor Strauss of Alexandria has put a stop to so-called glove-contests within his bailiwick. It wovld be well for this city, fm at least ons respect, if the jurisdiction of Mayor Strauss extended over the Dis trict of Columbia, for almost coincident with and probably consequent upon his Prohibitory and proper action comes a revival of the brutal sport at the national capital. The responsibility for this revival Mes with the Columbla Athletic Club—an erganization which has on its membership roll the names of many excellent Washing- torians—and this fact is made remarkable because some time ago officers of the club announced—after a decidedly stormy ex- perience with decent sent'ment—that the club would have nothing more to do with glove-fights. Thursday evening the club provided a fistle tournament In which eight professional sluggers participated. It was announced by the referee, before the pro- ceedings were forcibly opened, that in de- ference to a condition of the public mind for which, in Weshington, the newspapers (he should have said The Star) were re- spousible, the fighting would, for that oc- casion, be toned down considerably. De- tails of the contests have appeared in all the city papers, so there fs no necessity for more than mere mention of the facts | that one man was thumped into semi-un- consciousness; that the blood-oozing coun- tenance of another stained his own body and that of his opponent during three or four rounds; that others of the number that had been hired to knock out or be knocked out struggled until their physical weakness was pitiable; that the witnessin, multitude applauded when the fighting w: sharp and hissed when the sparring was tame; that the stamp of the prize ring was uy it all It was an unwholesome ex- hibition; improper at best, it was some- thing for which no self-respecting man would care to be held accountable. The community which tn marly ways has done $0 much for the Columbia Athletic Club has tho right to expect better treatment at the hands of that organization. Hoxin fm itself, is one of the manliest of spor and one with which everyone mix Profitable acquaintance, but it is not even pretended that such exhibitions as those of Thursday night are either to promote skill and interest in the art of self-defense or to provide the audience with amuse- ment of a clever and non-brutal sort. The pugilists are professionals and they fight for the purses which are offered by the club; and from the opening of the first round until the final tap of the gong each man {s on the alert for an opportunity to deliver a blow which will. put the one against whom he is pitted “to sleep.” In this matter, as in so many others, the love of money is the root of the evil; it is the financial inducement only that tempts the club to throw open its doors to hundreds of men whose names, !f proposed for mem- bership, would probably never get as far as the board of governors; yet, for the sake of a few dollars of profit that may safely be counted upon while the bookmakers and their malodorous followers are in this vicinity, the club does not hesitate to stake its good name and to take long odds on losing the friendly interest of many Wash- ingtonians who would like to see the club a legitimate success. In affairs athletic and proper The Star has always displayed more ‘than an ordinary amount of interest —the prizes it has given and the space it has devoted to cleanly sport are evidences of the truth of that statement—but when a local organization of supposedly good repute deliberately sets out to compete with low-grade associations for the most mercenary of reasons and to the discredit not only of itself but also of the city in which it dwells, then The Star cannot con- scientiously refrain from condemning such offensive action. No civilized country will today endure the prize-ring, and it exists only In a few places in the United States simply because there is weakness either of the law or of those in whose hands are the keeping of the statutes. If there be impropriety in fighting for a purse of $25,000 and if it be illegal for two ag- grieved men to meet in some out-of-the- way place and there viciously batter each ether, why should excuse be made for con- tests for $50 purses in the gymnasium of a club that, in its own behalf, alleges re- spectability? We hope the Columbia Ath- letic Club has acted as sponsor for a prize- fight for the last time. —- - +02 -___ A valuable contribution to civil service reform discussion was that signed “Inde- pendent," which appeared in The Star yes- terday. An official of prominence for many years, the author ot that communication doubtless has as much practical knowledge as any other man as to the workings of the spolis system and of civil service re- form in the government departments. It has never been claimed that the civil serv- jee law was perfect; those who were op- posed to it did all that seemed possible to weaken it before the bill was put upon its passage. But it must be admitted by all reasoning and reasonable persons that the law at its feebiest is very much better than no law at all; it has certainly brought about a manifest increase of eifictency among the clerical force. This may be disputed by those who, for some reason or other, prefer the old order of things, but the great majority of people cannot help admitting that selection based on in- telligence must strike the most ordinary mind as far superior to one based on mere party adherence. A strong point made by “Independent” was that as to chiefs of diviston—positions ef considerable import- ance, yet used mainly for the payment of political debts. Low-salaried clerks are supposed to be competent, and generally are, but the more highly-paid chiefs of division generally receive their appoint- ments for partisan reasons only. The sys- tem which permits such extravagant and unbusiness-like expenditure of public money condemns itself. — eee ‘There were forty-six men at work upon the city post-office building today. Ac- cording to the original estimate made by The Star, which has been shown to be ab- surdly generous, these men might finish the building by July 3, 18vs. The average for the week was 46 4-6 men, and for the eight weeks ending today 48 5-8 men. The building has been under way for two years, nine months and four days, and the sec- ond of the eight stories {s not finished. —_—__ + e+ Mr. Wilson's appearance as a free trade lecturer hf Baltimore was not altogether successful. son's best chance to attain the proud posi- tion of “local favorite” lay in London. een Japan might reciprocate with an offer to come over here and exert itself toward es- tabiilshing an amicable state of a‘fairs in the political party to which Mr. Cleveland is advertised as belonging. +2302 There is some bewilderment for the chiv- alrous mind in the possibility of a feminine polic¢ officer's being called upon to raid Mrs. Shea's speak-easy. - +2 —__ In his determination to speak in public or know the reason why Mr. Breckinridge shows perseverance, worthy of a better cause. — + +0] Capt.

From a Washington point of view, it seems strange Unat there should be more than one opinion on the subject. Any “re- form” that will put a stop to ‘the continual changing of people holding positions under the governmen’ in this city could not fail to be to the best interests of the commu- nity. A shifting population, however large, is no evidence of prosperity, and is @ positive detriment to the desired growth and advancement of the capital city of the nation—a matter closest to the heart of every permanent resident. ——___+ «+ ——_ What Tammany Wants. From the Tammany Times. In order to regain the confidence of the people of New York, Tammany Hall must proceed at once to reorganize. New men, holding different views from those who have heretofore posed as leaders, must be selected; but, above all, we must have a leader who leads. He must be a man of strong convictions, and he must also be clothed with almost despotic powers. The New York democrats will rally around a man whom they reeccgnize to be a leader. wee.
