_—————— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY...............March 7, 1895. Editor. CROSBY 8. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on‘nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. While the Taylor-Chase libel case was on trial The Star abstained from comment upon it, in accordance with its rule in such matters, in fairness both to Chase and Taylor, and from respect for the court which in the shape of judge and jury was administering impartial justice. Even now that the maladorous evidence of discredited witnesses on both sides is all in and every- body has been thoroughly bedaubed with mud and offal and the jury has announced its decision, The Star has no inclination to stir up the stench-emitting testimony, and‘it cares only to call attention to the fact that in this quarrel over the spoils of the recorder’s office a verdict of guilty of libel against Chase is far from being a verdict of acquittal for Taylor in his trial upon the charge of unfitness to be recorder. Chase in order to escape conviction needed to show not merely that some but that all of his charges were true, and true in every substantial particular, and also that he printed these truths not maliciously or re- vengefully, but with good motives and for justifiable ends. In support of some of his serious charges there was not merely failure of proof, but total absence of evidence, and numerous facts were developed in the trial, partly from the evidence of Chase himself, which would justify the jury in viewing Chase’s motive in making the publication as not being a public-spirited desire to promote the general welfare. It is not strange, therefore, that Chase was convicted. The other question of the fitness of Taylor to be recorder, not directly on trial in this case, has already been tried—first before the tribunal of local public opinion, and next before the Civil Service Commission— and a verdict of guilty of unfitness, with a request ror his dismissal, has been rendered in each case. President Cleveland has per- sistently appointed carpet-bag negroes to the strictly local office of District recorder of deeds, in violation of so-called home- . rule political and personal pledges and “in just recognition” of the political demands of the colored race. He has treated this office, maintained exclusively by the fees of local property owners, as that part of the political spoils with which democratic negroes in voting communities are to be rewarded. The President having himself thus degraded this office by his method of treatment it is not surprising that his Political appointee should take a similar view of the subordinate positions at his “ disposal and treat them as political and personal spoils, to be put to political or personal use, and not as public trusts, to be administered on business principles, in the public interest. Taylor's own evidence concerning his rea- sons for appointing, dismissing and rein- stating his subordinates, shows a com- plete lack of aprreciation of any obligation on his part as an official to the community which hires and pays him, Conceding that certain appointments were made not be- cause they had been bought or for immoral purposes, xs Chase alleged, but In order to conciliate Chase or make him feel good, as ‘Taylor testified, the ‘result is equally un- satisfactory to the people of the District, who expect the affairs of the recorder’s of- fice to be conducted in a business like man- ner and on business pPinciples. While Chase failed to establish his terrible ac- cusations against the personal character of the recorder, the net result of the testi- mony on both sides was to show a disgust- ingly unwholesome condition of affairs in the office over which the recorder presides and for which he is consequently to be held responsible by this community. Wash- ington demands that the office be cleaned from bottom to top and administered on local, home rule, business principles. Pres- ident Cleveland is not disposed to heed this demand so far as the recorder’s position is concerned, and when he surrenders his ot- fice to his successor his record, good in many respects, will have on the page de- voted to this matter an ugly blot. 1 ee Rev. J. W. Waters of the African Metho- dist Conference now in session at Rich- mond is posing as a prophet and a most original one at that. He protested yester- day against the conference holding a spe- cial service in memory of the late Fred- erick Douglass, giving as his reason the belief that it would be establishing a dan- gerous precedent. Because Fred Douglass was too insignificant a personage? Not at all. Rev. Waters was deeply impressed with the greatness of the dead man and he praised him highly; but he declared that the race was quite capable of producing many more such men in the near future and hence to begin holding Douglass ser- vices would start a tremendous task for future conferences to perform. Rev. Wa- ters intimated that some day the confer- ences would have no time to do anything but hold memorial services for great men of the negro race. Then he became mathe- matical and declared that the race would probably soon be presenting the world with Fred Douglasses in lots of three or four per annum. Of course, he went on, these men will eventually die, and if the name of Douglass were honored by special services his successors must be so treated. Hence his objection. Rev. Waters may curb his fears. Fred Douglass will not be duplicated for many a year. ——__~ ++ —. The next edition of Senator Hill's official biography, as it appears periodically in the Congressional Directory, may have to be changed im an important particular. The unfeeling republicans of the New York leg- \slature yesterday passed a bill changing the name of the town of Havana to Mutton Falls. Senator Cantor, a friend of Mr. Hill, protested, saying that the town was the bicthplace of a distinguished citizen of the state. Senator Smelzer, the author of the measure, replied that that was his motive. The bill was passed, and so, if Mr. Hill be truthful, he will revise the biography so as to read: “David Benpett Hill, of Albany, was born in Mutton Falls (then Havana), Schuyler (then Chemung) county, New York, August 29, 1543,”" etc. Mutton Falls, forsooth! —___+ ++____.. It is unfortunate that Secretary Hernert feels compelled to decide that the United States shall be represented by no more than two men-of-war at the formal opening of the North Sea Canal, in which Germany has just invited this country to participate. When one remembers the magnificent rep- resentations of foreign nations at the naval review which preceded the world’s fair, this paltry fleet of two vessels will seem inadequate. It may be that through the economical allotments by Congress of pub- lic money for the increase of the navy it is impracticable to send more than this number, but even this can hardly be re- garded as sufficient excuse, for the entire North Atlantic squadron, {t appears, could easily be sent to Kiel next June. Admiral Meade has 2. fleet that would do credit to the United States and would compare favorably with the naval representations of most of the European countries. There is another function for naval vessels in these times besides fighting or threatening. Foreign prestige can be maintained in no better way than by naval representation. Warships must be had. A nation that is not absolutely continental in all its policies cannot afford to neglect to participate in international events in a style quite com- mensurate with its size and the importance of its relations to the rest of the world. There is probably little sentiment in this country in favor of an exclusive policy. The United States cannot adequately exist upon its own market. The world is to be fed and supplied, and from these shores supplies for this demand will continue to flow at ‘an increasing rate until the United States will eventually become the center of international commerce. Its geographical position gives it an advantage over all other nations. Commercial supremacy, while surely coming, will be hastened by a more liberal policy of display and repre- sentation abroad. This does not mean ag- gression; it means business. —__+ +_____ No stronger argument for the abatement ef the nuisance across the Potomac known as Jackson City could be had than the confession by young Manuel Almagro, the clerk to Minister Zeballos, that he was tempted to steal his employer’s money in order to get means to gratify his craving for faro and other gambling games at that resort. He was a devoted habitue of the vile nest at the Virginia end of the bridge, where he found every convenience for los- ing his means and those of the minister, together with his honor and reputation. There are other cases of wrong-doing that are to be traced directly to this prime cause. It is a menace to the safety of the city. It is a stench in the nostrils of all good citizens. The disinfecting power of the law must be invoked to abate the evil, else there will be a constant, insidious, ter- rible temptation to the young men of the city. The crime of Almagro is but one of many that point to the faro table, the race track, the pool-rocm, and other resorts of gamblers as the greatest evil that the younger generation has to face. Let the nest be cleaned out before any more harm has been done! ——_+++____ Col. Elliot deserves the praise of his su- perior officers and the grateful thanks of the citizens of Washington for his zeal and Ppromptness in starting the work of raising the dam at Great Falls, although the date of his retirement from active duty is close at hand. The interests of the people of the District in the matter of a water sup- ply have been carefully and adequately promoted under the direction of this eificient engineer. Col. Elliot realizes that there is no more vital problem of civic existence than that of furnishing a sufficient supply of pure water, and that the man in charge is burdened with a heavy responsibility. Many men in his position might wait for a successor to take charge before inaugurat- ing the new work, but he xnows the great value of time in this particular instance, for he realizes more fully perhaps than anyone else the fact that the development of the present scarcity of water in certain localities into a serious and widespread water famine is a speedy probability unless something be done quickly to increase the volume of water flowing into the aqueduct. +o -—__. There were one hundred and twenty-six men working on the alleged post-oftice building on this 1,111th day since it was begun. This is fair building weather, and there should be more men employed.

But the poet is a prophet, now,*the same as in the past; When once he starts to talk of spring she’s sure to come at last. So get in trim for birds and bees; you might as well concur. We know that spring is coming, for the wheels begin to whirr.
