THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.. --April 10, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. .-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News und Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absenee, 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, necording to tenor or purpose. siamireit ‘Whenever there is discussion as to the advisability of extending the cfvil service Tules so as to bring the employes of the Government Printing Office into the classi- fied service there comes more or less of Objection from those whose personal inter- ests alone are subserved by continuation of Present conditions, and at times these ob- jections are quite disingenuous. Every one Possessed of real information as to depart- mental operations in this city knows that the Government Printing Office is the last stronghold of the spoilsman;-the place wliere men and women may be “taken care of” as a reward for political services ren- dered elther by themselves or by those to whose influence they owe their appoint- ment and the resultant salary. In an in- terview in yesterday's Star the public printer is quoted as saying that civil serv- ice ideas were supreme in the government of the establishment which is now con- trolled by him. “We keep,” said that offi- ctal, “ihe best skilled labor and dispense with that which fs unfitted for our work;” which means that, under the present ad- ministration, democrats are retained and republicans discharged. Under a repubii- can administration the machine would be reversed. “The policy during the two terms that I have been here,” said Mr. Benedict, “has been to keep only competent work- men,” which of course is equivalent to say- ing that only the incompetent have been dismissed. If that be really the public printer’s honest opinion, then it may be stated without fear of successful contra- diction that he has been woefully deceived by those upon whom he must have had to depend for information as to the quality of work done by his subordinates. It ts ar allegation capable of casy demonstration that during the present and Mr. Benedict's Preceding term of office thousands of thor- oughly competent men and women have been removed by him for no other reason than that either they or their influence were ont of accord with the dominant po- tical party; the capabilities of the persons discharged received no consideration what- ever, and there is cruelty in this specious attempt—not the first by any means—to brand as incompetent the large number of those who, because of a political change, have been thrown out of employment to make room for others who in very many instances have proven themselves inferior to the persons whom they displaced. To dwell upon the distress consequent upon such wholesale changes as have been made in the Government Printing Office during this era of so-called civil service reform to which the public printer directs attention would be painful; the facts are too well known to a great many people in Washing- ton to admit of any controversy. Friends of the real civil service reform are sincere in their prayers that the civil service rules will, at the earliest possible moment, be so extended as to compass the destruction of the sham reform which has no other foundation than the spolls system. —_++o-___ Secretary Herbert has done well to check the process of disintegrating the very in- teresting museum of naval relics that for many years has been a most attractive feature of the Washington navy yard. The Proposition was made in the naval aprro- priation bill last session to store these relics and use the building now containing them for officers’ quarters. This was de- feated, and now comes a move to use the building as a place for holding the sessions of the naval examining board. Work had already been begun on the transfer of the articles when Secretary Herbert learned of its full significance and ordered it to be stopped until he could investigate further. This little museum should be preserved in its entirety, and if the building which it now occupies is urgently reeded for other purposes new quarters skould he found at once for the relics and articles of interest. Instead of storing away what ob- jects have been accumulated, every effort should be made to increase the store of historical knowledge there represented. The present period of naval architecture and gun making is one of the most inter- esting in all the history of preparation for warfare, and a museum that accurately represents the growth of modern ideas of gun building and ship construction would be very valuable. The museum, if stored away in a loft, would be lost to sight and forgotten in a few years. There is plenty of room for the preservation of these ar- ticles in some convenient place, and the Secretary will probably find that there s a strong sentiment against the demolition of the collection. —+—_+ +e —___ During many years the people of this city were apparently content with dirty mediocrity in Potomac steamboat service. Within the pest two of three seasons river boats and their equipments have improved marvelously, and now we have three or four first-class steamers, with promise of teascrably-rapid increase in the number. The latest addition to this creditable fleet iz the boat “Newport News,” which was launched yesterday, and waich, when fully fitted, will run from this city to the mouth of the Chesapeake. In a little while there will be nothing left of the old, easy-going, satisfied-with-anything Washington. Now- a-days the best is not a bit too good. 0 It may not be exactly proper to say that the democratic party has had bad leader- ship, but there ts no question as to its suffering from a superabundance of leader- ship. ———_+ += Washingtonians who had occasion to be on the streets last night could hardly help noticing the darkness that prevailed; the uprecessary darkness, it might be said. Leng ago it was the custom of citizens who had to be out after nightfall to carry lighted lanterns, with the aid of which to avoid collision with obstructive people and things, but the practice died out when the municipality very properly burdened itself with what was then by courtesy called street Illumination. In the course of time came the gas lamp, and still later the elec- tric light, so that it will be quite pardon- able to imagine that the necessity for indi- vidual lanterns no longer exists. As a mat- ter of fact, however, there was more of such necessity last night than there was a hundred years ago. It is true that mud- heles in the public highways are less plen- tiful in the District of Columbia than they were at the beginning of the century but the number of people to be encountered and the number of inanimate and practically immovable obstructions has vastly in- creased; a not inconsiderable contribution to the latter being the iron posts which have been set up for the purpose of sup- porting lamps, but which, under the condi- ticns prevalent last night, are only danger- ots. A news story, printed elsewhere, shows that an official at the District build- ing directs the lighting or not lighting on ia when the almanac announces that tl moon will shine, and is responsible for pecan, to light the lamps yesterday ig. Thete have been many such fail- ures and great consequent inconvenience. It would seem that any public servant pos- sessed of what is slangily termed “half an eye” could have seen quite early yesterday evening that the moon would not probably have any opportunity to light this city last night. There has been too much of ear ing in the middle of the afternoon as prospective clearness or cloudiness at night, the custom having been a rather careless one in this regard. It is possible to occa- sionally foretell at 4 o'clock the sky condi- tions likely to exist five or six hours later but once in a while must come failure and tken the public suffers. One of the most Pctent factors in keeping the public peace at night is satisfactory street illumination— which, by the way, we do not get even wken every gas lamp is lighted; we either need more lamps or the substitution of elec- tricity for gas. In any event authority to light the lamps or to leave them unlighted should be discreetly exercised, and the guess as to whether the weather will be clear or not should be made at the time when the lamp-lighters would, if needed, be sent out to perform their functions. Long rarge prophecies as to the conduct of the fickle moon are unreliable. 2 There were one hundred and one men at werk today on the city post office building, mostly on the sides furthest away from the public eye. There is a fear that the werk, which has been going on quite brave- ly for some past, may soon strike a snag of Gelay in the non-arrival of the iron ma- terial for the next three stories and the roof, all of which is due here in ten days and cannot possibly be delivered in that period. Not a pound has yet come, illustrating the truth of what has so often been asserted by The Star, that there was general lack of foresight in the arrangement of the vari- ous contracts for this structure. This episode will go far toward making the original estimate of August 17, 1906, for the ecmpletion of the building, historically ac- curate. —___++«_____- If duelling is an evidence. of barbarism a marked improvement in the world is to be discovered in the personal irsults which modern statesmen find themselves able to overlook. —- + e = —___ When a Brooklyn man now hears his city assailed for its lack of excitement he merely points to the trolley record of 108 victims and commands a respectful silence. ——__ + The first thing that Debs proposes to do when he gets out of jail is to make speech- es.

SHOOTING STARS. Without a Soul. He does not love to watch the grass When ft begins to grow. It brings him only thoughts, alas, Of what he'll have to mow. “It am mos'ly when er man am whut folks call ‘his own worst enemy,’” sald Uncle Eben, “dat he succeeds in lubbin’ his enemy.” Tilusion, Johnny fools his parents— It's very sad to state— ‘They thing he’s making garden When he’s only digging bait. It is Sometimes Thus. “How did Mr. Gumstick get the reputa- tion of being such a moral man?” “Why, by his superior perception. He can hardly pick up a book without finding something improper in it.” High. “I understand that your picture received the highest consideration at the exhibition.” “Yes,” replied the mournful artist, “it was skied.” A Question. Those shoes that are wondrously yellow— A person might ponder a week Ere a way he could find To make up his mind If they’re louder in color or squeak. The Intelligent Canine. “After all, a dog is a man’s best friend,” said Meandering Mike, as he carefully hung his half-eaten pie on a nail in the fence. “De dog at de house where ye jes’ called come purty near eatin’ yer up,” commented Plodding Pete. “Dat’s jis’ it. He wus tryin’ ter warn me agin’ goin’ up an’ gittin’ dis here ple, only I didn’t have sense enough to take de hint.” That Seared Feeling. “Doctor,” said the man who had been ringing the door bell with spasmodic vio- lence, ‘do something for me. I don’t care much what it is, only do it right away.”” “What’s the matter? Sprained your ankle?” “No, nothing like that.” “Ah, I see. You've caught cold, and have a sudden cough.” “No—tisn’t a cold.” “Probably you've eaten something that doesn’t agree with you.” “I don’t think it can be exactly that. You see, it's a complication. I’ve been reading the list of symptoms in the patent medicine advertisements; and I tell you, I never real- ized till this minute that I’m almost dead.” SS Use the Vacant Lots. From the Baltimore Sun. At the very time when there is suffering for food in the great cities it is often so plenty on the farms within a hundred miles that quantities go to waste. It is often the case that prices obtainable for fruit and vegetables are not sufficient to pay freight and the charges of the middle- men. And yet this abundance does not seem to make these articles much cheaper for the city consumer. All these things have suggested the idea out in San Fran- cisco to get the city poor out into the country, where they can raise their own food and bring up their children amidst pure and healthful surroundings. The the- ory is excellent, but it is to be feared that there are many practical obstacles hard to overcome. One is the disinclination of the dwellers of the city to go into the country to live. Nevertheless, under the direction of sensible philanthropic people, something might be done gradually by acting in in- dividual cases. The so-called Detroit plan of giving to poor families the use of va- cant city lots for gardens is an excellent one, and should give good results if the vegetables can be protected from thieves after they are raised. —__ + ++ __. A Cry for Fenders. From the New York Herald. The one hundred and eighth death by trolley accident in Brooklyn reported last week ought to arouse the authorities and citizens to the necessity of immediate legis- lation making the use of suitable fenders compulsory upon the trolley companies. Since the introduction of trolleys and cable cars more than seventy different patterns of fenders have been devised by skillful in- ventors, and it is absurd for companies who run these dangerous juggernauts to claim that they cannot find a suitable fender. Several of these patterns have been in use for some time on Baltimore trolleys, and have given much satisfaction. “Where there is a will, there's a way,” and cer- tainly the cable and trolley lines can soon find a good fender if they carefully look for one.
