6 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY...................-May 24, 1595. ‘ CROSBY S. NOYES. seeeeeee. Editor. HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined cirraintion of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. in 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- ment according to tenor or purpose. Perhaps the newly elected sheriff of Al- exandria county will be a more faithful official than was the defeated candidate for re-election. ‘The people of Washington sincerely hope so, and perhaps even those people of Alexandria county who resented outside interference with their “curse- spot” will not make strenuous objection to radical amendment of the conditions that have unquestionably been immoral and which have caused so much of highly- proper eondemnatory’ comment. Assuming that the new sheriff has been elected under conditions which will prevent him from in- terfering with the outlaw race-tracks across the river, he may still be expected to close the gambling dens and speak-easies and to exile the policy dealers and shell-game workers and other undesirable people whose Presence is conspicucusly odious and whose business activity leaves the bookmakers less money than the bookmakers would like to have. With the law as it is in Virginia it may not be possible to legally interfere with the bookmaking to encourage which horses are run at the Alexandria county tracks, so until the Virginia legislature en- acts a more stringent statute thAsheriff of Alexandria county may, perhaps, be un- able—no matter what his desires might be— to do more as to the racing and the betting on races than see that the tracks are con- ducted in an orderly manner. But there is nothing to prevent him from attacking the many other and entirely unlawful varieties of the gambling element which flourished along the river bank under the auspices of the sheriff who was defeated yesterday. Every disreputable resort from the Chain bridge down to Alexandria can be closed almost instantly, and, by the exercise of ordinary vigilance, be kept closed until the weary gamblers and other law-breakers shall cease to struggle for local existence If for no other reason than a selfish one, the race-track gamblers should do their ut- most to scare away all the petty robbers. Then when the Virginia legislature has a session the state authorities may continue the good work, to the permanent discour- agement of bookmaking not only in Alex- andria county but throughout the entire common wentth= > > ____ While Health Officer_Woodward is look- ing into the subject of diseased cattle al- leged to have been sold in the city for the supply of beef, it would be well worth his time to pay some official attention to the matter cf the conditions that exist in local stables where cows are kept for dairy pur- poses. “Our Animal Friends,” the organ of the Humane Scciety of New York, re- certly stated that there is great danger that tuberculosis may develop among cows clesely confined in stables without proper ventilation and exercise. It points to the excellent cond:tions that exist in Holland, where dairy cows are habitually kept in stables that are superlatively clean and well ventilated. The Dutch dairy farmer guards well against infection and kills at once every animal that is known to be afflicted with this dreadful disease. Thus, although the cows are constantly housed, the danger of the infection of their milk is reduced to a minimum. It is known that many dairymen prefer to house their cows to allowing them to run at pasture because, as they assert, it is “bad business” to give the cows the free- dem of the fields, as by exercising they consume muth of the nitrogenous element of their food that would otherwise go to the enriching of their milk. As “Our Ani- mal Friend” well states, it is much worse business in the end for the dairyman to permit his animals to become infected®with tubercul by denying them plenty of eir and exercise. oe of total depravity are gratify- ingly rare, but once in a while there comes to the surface proof that in civilized com- munities there dwell people whose wicked- ness knows no limit. Last Saturday night an effort was made by a party or parties Instance urknown, ng dynamite, to break down one of tne banks of the Erie canal at a point where, had the effort been successful, the rush of waters would have resulted in the drowning of many people, in the wreck- ing of many hous and the destruction of now-flourishing crops. The railroad com- panies, whose lines are paralleled by the carnal, have made war on their cheaply- operated competitor, but it is”not likely that they were responsible for the barbar- ous endeavor of the criminals who, unfor- tunately for everybody except themselves, are still at large. ——_ +++ Eighty-four men were employed today on the city post-office building. Eighty-four skillful workmen might work twelve hours a@ day, yet fail to complete the structure within the current decade. The needs are more material and more men. ——_ + «+ — The rush for land and the disappoint- ment that threatens an immense number of people who set their hopes on the Kick- apoo reservation show that it is well not to be too precipitate about going west to grow up with the country. —— +402 etary Morton will probably regard the confident manner in which Secretary Carlisle represents the administration on the currency question with a great deal of interest. Se a It Is now suggested that there was not enough uncertainty about the Alexandria County election to enable the members of the sporting fraternity who rendezvous there to get up any excitement over it. a Washington will take the greatest pleas- ure in lending Governor O’Ferrall a detec- tive or two for Jackson City duty for a few day: ee Japan might be forgiven if she expressed curiosity os to why Russia did not’ step in earlier and help do some of the fighting. ——__+ e+ — With necessary deliberation, yet as speed- ily as such works can wisely be pushed, two of the great institutions which will contribute materlally toward making the national capital the literary and educa- tional center of the new world are begin- ning to assume tangible shape. At the re- cent meeting of the trustees of the Ameri- can University it was settled that during the present year the work of construction on the first building should commence, and that the first structure should be followed by @ second, and by the many others that will be needed, with the least possible de- lay, Arrangements for the materialization of the plans of those who will give this elty a great Protestant Episcopal Cathe- dral, surrounded by institutions of learning, are also far advanced, and before the frost comes again the builders will have com- menced operations on one of the schools. To begin with the least exalted considera- tions, these enterprises will develop the gity’s suburbs marvelously, and will, di- reotly and {n@rectly, bring about the em- ployment of a at mumber of working- men who are now and who have for some time past been without opportunity for Profitable labor. Then will come, in due season, the great corps of professors and the multitude of students, and following closely in their train will be access of mer- cantile ‘activity such as the District of Co- lumbia needs. Aside, however, from the mercenary considerations, there are the ad- vantages of that pre-eminent intellectual supremacy which should be a conspicuous feature of the city where the government of the United States has its central abode. Other American communities have claimed this supremacy for many years, but their day has gore by even now; ten years hence not even the most enthusiastic Bostonian will seriously claim that his beloved city is in any sense a competitor with Washing- ton.. The establishment here of three great universities will undoubtedly result in like educational activity on the part of relig- lous denominations hitherto careless or un- decided as to what they shall do in a mat- ter of so much importance. Colleges may be founded elsewhere, but the universities will be located in the District of Columbia. — ++ ____ Civil service reform for the Government Printing Office being one of the present probabilitics, it is proper to offer sugges- tions as to the manner in which it should be applied. Of course there will be a great deal of discussion as to the examinations and many differences of opinion will doubt- less develop. Some of the disputants will be inclined to favor the theoretical while others will argue in behalf of the purely practical. The latter proposition—favoring an examination which will discover just how much or how little the candidate knows of the work and not merely the art of printing—ought undoubtediy to prevail. The examining board should require the presentation of reliable testimony of an ap- prenticeship sufficiently long and otherwise so satisfactory as to encourage the conclu- sion that the candidate is really competent to fill the position he seeks. There are a great many printers in this country who have merely “picked up’ the business and who, while they may do well enough, for themselves, in a government office if their political influence is sufficiently heavy, could hardly earn their salt in private em- ploy and would not be tolerated under any circumstances in first-class establishments. Under the system of appointments that has prevailed there have been employed under every administration numbers of such incompetent workmen. This will be admitted by everyone who has any reliable information on the subject, for the prac- tical politician has been very industrious in paying political indebtedness by secur- ing the appointment of creditors and cred- itors’ henchmen in what is now about the only department of the executive govern- ment entirely unprotected by the civil ser- vice law. A thorough reform 1n respect to future appointments is sought. There are no insuperable difficulties in the way of the practical ‘examination of candidates; the fitness of a compositor or a pressman or a bookbinder can be established without trouble in less than an hour. ——___+e- Wheat made a judicious pause in its rush for the dollar mark to take breath and tind out whether everybody was telling the truth about the damage to crops. a eo Up to the present time Kentucky has been commendabiy free from the 38-calibre style of political argument. 2 SHOOTING STARS, A Genial Temperament. “They’s nothink like takin’ things good- naturediy,” said Meandering Mike. “Yes,” said Ploddin’ Pete. “‘Thet’s my way o' doin’.

From the Chicago Evening Journal. It would be interesting to know whose presidential bureau sent out the dispatch from Boston to the effect that a canvass of the northeastern states showed a strong opposition to ex-Speaker Reed’s having the solid New England delegation in the next republican national convention. The yery reverse seems to be the conclusion of the canvass as actually made by the Bos- ton Globe—a democratic paper by the way. While the interrogations were evidently made with the deliberate intention of de- veloping any opposition to Mr. Reed, the replies showed the utmost unanimity in bis favor. From Maine, through New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Con- necticut and Rhode Island, up to the New York line, there seems to exist no doubt that New England will send a solid Reed delegation—which means 78 votes for a starter. 3 “God Save the Queen!” From the Baltimore Sun, Americans, though they owe her no alle- giance, will not withhold from Victoria a birthd: salutation of respect, for it has been truly said of her by an American statesman that in the republic’s sorest hour of trial ‘she was wiser than her min- isters,” and restrained them from a course that must have long and deeply estranged the larger part of tho two great branches of the English-speaking family. Moreover, we cannot forget that she has set before her people and the world the nobie ex- ample of a pur: and blameless life, and gilded her throne with all womanly vir- tues. And whenever her long reign shall close it will be her proud distinction to leave her country better for having ruled over it and the world better for having lived In It. 0 A Universal Demand.
