THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY, -May 8, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES... a — 2S THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation uch more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Editor. >In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, Ictters 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. —— One of the weak spots in Washington's municipal government is the police trial board—the body that hears rnd passes upon the charges preferred, officially and uncfiicially, against members of the Met- ropolitan police force. Of the ability and honesty of the police officers who compose the board there cannot possibly be any question, but there 's at least room for discussion as to whether policemen should be tried by pollzemen. No matter how ank- fous members. ‘of the board m: be to ex- ercise the utmost fairness, they cannot avoid being swayed more or less by the affections and prejudices which are always current in every known variety of organi- ation. Public complaint because the board invariably meets In secret session ts prac- tically continuous, and while no one essays to assail the good repute of the members of the board, it is an entirely reasonable assertion to state that there is less of Public confidence in the board than there should be in a court that has to deal with so many momentous cases. For this wide- Spread and deep-rooted feeling the secret sessions of the board are undoubtedly re- sponsible, afded considerably by the ex- cusable notion that freemasonry of {dentt- cal occupation renders the board incapable of doing its whole duty to the public and to the police at the same time. The remedy for this weakness is eas!ly to be found. Not long ago The Star suggested that one or both of the police court justices should Supersede the triai board, but If, in view of the heavy business with which the police courts are burdened, this idea is not prac- tleable, the District Commissioners might themselves act directly as such judges or Provide as their substitutes and represen- tatives a board of District offictals or solid unofficial citizens to act in the place of the trio of officers now taken away from their spheres of police duty to form an unsatis- factory court. Open sessions should be in order, too, for the policy of secrecy has resulted in more than one miscarriage of Justice, and ‘t will do so again and again 80 long as it is permitted to exist. ——_+ ++ __ In the news columns of The Star today will be found candid utterances of local busin men, which, taken as a whole, in- dicate improvement in the financial and industrial situation. That the improvement comes slowly cannot be denied, but that it is real and that it moves steadily in the right direction are facts not to be con- troverted. Comparison with the state of affairs in the District of Columbia at this time last year shows plainly the better- ment that is now going on, while here and there are indications pointing very directly to a more rapid increase of desirable ac- tivity than, in view of what has happened, could reasonably be expected. One of the things over which there may properly be congratulation. is the stability of Wash- Ington firms. In other cities the hard times compelled many business houses of good repute to suspend, and an alarmingly great number were compelled to close out entirely. Here the roster of failures has been remarkably small and none of them was serious enough to affect any of the other houses with which there were busi- ness dealings. Students of financial statis- tics have noted with astonishment through- out the entire period of depression the comparative buoyancy in the District of Columbia. Elsewhere the conditions have been very much worse than anything Washington has personally experienced and consequently In those places the inevitable improvement will perhaps for a time be more noticeable than it is here. —_—__ o = _____ ie dechiadt ok tha Cusct of Appeals in the case of Gray vs. The District of Co- lumbia, by which the District {s mulcted in the sum of $4,500, to say nothing of the costs of the suit, ought to teach somebody a lesson, but it probably will not. Prior to the time whan Mr. Gray’s premises were flooded by water that was backed up in the old Tiber sewer, The Star insisted that the biggest of our trunk sewers was un- doubtediy in need of attention and should for the sake of economy, as well as for the public health, be thoroughly cleansed. The engineer department of the District, how- ever, declared fery emphatically that the sewer was clean and that there was no obstruction to the free flow of water. Sat- isfied that its theery was correct, The Star sent an exploring expedition into the sewer and the next day made known to the pub- lic and to the engineer department of the District the fact that there was a vast quantity of sand in that subterranean wa- terway which the experts had declared to be in admirabie condition, —___+ += —____ New York law has a fashion of getting Into curious tangles. One of the most in- teresting kinks is developed by the asser- tion that Dr. Buchanan, convicted of mur- der, is legally dead, the day fixed for his execution having passed. His counsel elem that their position is succinctly stated in the proposition that a man can- not, in the nature of things, be killed twice for the same offen: axpert medical t however, indicates that he is alive, and the case may degenerate into an undig- squabble between two eminent pro- ions over the question of whose opinion in such matters shall prevail. ee Washingtonians who must remain in town no matter how warm the weather may chance to be can hardly be otherwise than grateful to Secretary Herbert for the order which will set the Marine Band con- certs once more in operation. There is no more delightful feature of summer time at the national capital than the open-air con- certs given by that thoroughly capable or- ganization of which the Marine Corps es- pecially, Washington personally, and the country generally, is so justly proud. —_~+ es The secrecy as to the Supreme Court's decision on the income tax is almost as profound as if the subject were an opinion by the District's Mystic Three on the dog tax. It is not at all surprising that there has developed among employes of the govern- ment printing office much difference of opinion as to the proposition to petition the President to extend the civil service rules so as to afford shelter to the workers in the government's great publishing house. The friends of civil service reform are ar- rayed against the political element. Al- though argument may cause delay, it is as certain as anything terrestrial can be that the rules will sooner or later be broadiy extended. There is every reason why they should be, and those who seek testimony favorable to extension find all they want of it in the past history of the office; which from the day when it became a gov- ernment possession until this time has been little else than a purely political machine. A comparatively small number of the em- ployes have retained their places under successive administrations, some of them because of especial fitness, others by rea- son of the influence they had; the great bulk of the wage-earners have been ruth- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1895-TWELVE . PAGES. lessly thrown out of employment when- ever the people of the United States de- cided that a change in the presidency was needed. It has been claimed by those who are partisans, or who are careless as to facts, or both, that the printing office has for some time been run on a system nearly related to that which would come into be- ing under civil service rules. Such claims are nonsensical in the extreme; they have not the slightest foundation. At the last presidential election the democratic party was victorious, and as a consequence of that victory hundreds of republicans have been dismissed from the government print- ing office simply because they were repub- licans, and in their places hundreds of democrats have been put simply because they were democrats. Occasional! fulmina- tions aimed at those who were unfortunate enough to suffer dismissal for political rea- sons may perhaps deceive a backwoods | audience into believing that prior to the present regime the printing office was a pleasant loafing place for the drunken and incompetent, but people who know any- thing at all. about practical politics and the manner in which the hendsman’s exe has been wielded in the vicinity of North Capitol and H streets must be excused if they decline to be thus deceived. Friends of good government will, no matter how much of opposition may develop, continue to labor persistently for reform; there will be no cessation of effort until the last shelter of the spoilsman—the government printing office—has become subject to civil service rules. —————+ ++ ____ Philadelphia crowed considerably when the New York legislature di led that the public interests demanded an investigation of municipal affairs in the city of New York, but now that the Pennsylvania legis- lature has made up its mind to “Lexow” Philadeiphia there is much apparent gloom in the Quaker City. The gloom is not un- reasonably present, for eath the calm demeanor which Philadelphia maintains even on the busiest of days there has ex- isted for a long time corruption which is believed to be fully eq to the most debasing and politically and financially Prefitable efurts ever put forth by Tam- many. For a iong time New York Philadelphia have Leen available as test mony to prove that munvivipal corruption was not the peculiar possession of any one political party, and although the facts are only partially exposed to the public gaze it seems quite reasonable to believe that the republicans in Philadelphia and th Gemecrats In New York cannot with Propriety call attention to ea weaknesses. The Lexow investigation in Getham was unquestionably successful, al- though it stopped long before it should have done so; 1t made plain to every right- minded man and woman who read the evidence the villainy from which a great community suffered uncomrlainingly for almost a generation, and It brougit about the downfall of some of the more notorious conspirators. That the Philadelphia inves- tigation will be as rich in resuits is pos- sible, but not probable; the chances are that it will stop as soon as its author— Semator Quay—has succeeded by its aid in removing from even the likelihood of po- litical power those who have dared to set themselves up in opposition to him and who have caused him a great deal of ma- terial discomfort. Of course it Is possible that the investigation may after awhile as- sume dimensions so great as to be beyond the senator's control, in which event Phil- adelphia taxpayers may hear of several things to their advantage, but at this time the odds are decidedly aguinst that con- tingency. 5 — Manhattan newspaperdom will have in it a very lively feature when Mr. John R. McLean organizes the New York Morning Journel—just purchased by him—and starts out to compete with the strong men al- ready in that field. In the Cincinnati En- quirer Mr. McLean has shown the country his ability as a newspaper builder, and his keenness and enterprise will have in New York a still broader field for their display. Mr. McLean’s newspaper success in the past has come largely from the .fact that he devoted himself to giving the people of Cincinnati and its vicinity the kind of newspaper they wanted. If he gavges the New York desire as accurately as he did that of the Queen City, his new venture cannot fail to be the notable suc- cess which all who know him anticipate. —___ c= __.
