CROSBY S. NOYES... @HE EVENING STAR has n regular and germanent 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 fd delays, on ac- eeunt of personnal absence, letters to #HE STAR should not be addressed ta any individual connected with the afice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Within a few days members of the Dis- trict National Guard who are in private employ -will begin to ask their employers Whether necessary permission will be given them to go into camp with the brigade at Fort Washington next month. Because conditions in the District of Co- lumbia have been phenomenally peaceful it is undoubtedly true that a considerable Proportion of the community is without any realizing sense of the value of the @rganization as to the efficiency of which there would, in time of trouble, be many questions asked. Deriving but meager support from Congress—practically nothing More than armory rent—the District Na- tianal Guard has, through the fidelity of a few of its members and a small circle of friends, achieved military reputation of an exalted sort and is unquestionably a solid beady of soldiery, whose effectiveness needs but to be tried to develop the reality of itg existence. It is therefore only a little thing that the community asks of em- ployers whose wage-earners are members of the guard when it requests those who have the power to grant the employes leave of absence for the short period every waking hour of which will be used for the practical betterment of this city’s Volunteer military force. Viewed narrow- ly, the suggested investment can hardly be otherw.se than a good one, for in the Yast majority of instances the trained sol- dier is of greater value than his wholly untrained fellowman—other things being equal—in almost any capacity and in any atation in life. Broadly, it is the duty of every good citizen to assist in the main- tenance of a police reserve—for that is all the National Guard is—upon which the dis- tressed public may call in time of need. When the Coxey horde was moving in this direction, the residents of the national cap- ital were quite anxious as to the condi- tion of the brigade which, in the camp, om the drill ground and on the rifle range, has won so much of distinction. Com- mencing June 13, there will be ten days’ evolutionary activity at Fort Washington. "fo the success of the solid work there to be done, every citizen should deem it his duty to contribute. —___ + + —___ As the weather warms up a little the thousands of Washingtonians who do not patronize summer resorts outside of the District of Columbia will spend a large proportion of their leisure time out of doors; most of them on the steps in front @f their respective residences. That the thousands of good people who thus seck comparative comfort should be undisturbed will hardly be disputed. That they should be compelled to suifer through the careless economy of a street-sweeping contractor is cruel to the individuals and discreditable to the city government. Yet everyone who has tried to find a cooler atmosphere on ‘he street than has existed within the Bouse knows that with more or less fre- Quency a street-sprinkler parades past as Rapidly as the driver can consistently make 4 go, leaving behind it two narrow strips of moisture Which disappear almost en- tirely before the first of a battery of horse- faweepers comes along to drive people into the heated shelter of their residences. The contractor will probably regard as imperti- ment the suggestion that he discard the machines he now uses and substitute for them some of thcse sweeping machines which collect the dirt and dump it in little heaps at stated distances; machines that cause the public no annoyance whatever. ‘The contractor may, however, regard as a Rot unreasonable suggestion an appeal that calls for a more liberal use of water than is now the custom. ———— Jm his recent orders extending the bene- fits of the merit system, known as the elassified civil service, over the places in the Agricultural Department which have Beretofore been filled according to the pleasure of those in temporary possession ef the appointing power, President Cleve- dand has once more accentuated his firm belief in the propriety of having the business of the government transacted by business men selected in accordance with business methods. This praiseworthy step is doubtless but one in the rapid pro- gress which is being made in the work of #@ extending the rules of the civil service What they shall embrace and protect all the employes and officials of the government ether than those who are directly con- mected with shaping the executive policy @f the nation. When all this has been ac- gomplished—and the end does not seem to be far away—its benefits will be seen not only in a more economical and more cor- ect transaction of public business, but it will be felt in improved political conditions. Im the new era parties will look for live issues, and, free from the covetousness of spoils, will forget that they ever fought for patronage, and, being victors, quar- reled afterward among themselves over the division of the plunder. —_- + «+ ____ ‘The resumption of the usual concerts by the Marine Band will be a matter of pov- ular satisfaction In this city.

The few asphalted streets have been over-run with wheelmen and wheelwomen until the walking people of the town are in a ferment of fear lest one- half of the population will be run down and killed by the other half. There is eonsequently a good deal of talk about re- sirictive regulations and ordinances, and incidentally there is discussion of the con- dition of things in Germany, where bi- eyling has been taken under the wing of government and reduced to science. A recent interview in a paper with a local wheelman gives some ef the features of this system of paternal- ism, which are of interest to American knights of the tangent spoke and the pneu- matic tire. No one jg allowed to ride in the Kaiser's realm without a licens: fore securing that he must pass an ex- amination under the eyes of the police and, if adjudged fit to be entrusted with a steel steed on the streets, he is allowed to pay a sum equal to about seventy-five cents of American money, and to fasten to Be- his wheel a steel plate bearing a number | which corresponds with the number of a ard issued to him as a sort of diploma. The rider must always carry this card, and show it upon demand to any polic man who may deem it advisable to stop bim and call for his credentials. Refusal to stop is apt to be punished with a fine, for there are well-mounted officers sta- toned at various points to halt swift wheelmen and to keep them within certain | ton,” places where fast riding may be dangerous. There is much in the German system that might well be adopted in American cities. Bicycling has here grown to enormous jro- portions, and the day dozs not seem to te far distant when the streets will be so filled with wheels that ordinary carriage travel, not to speak of pedestrianism, will be difficult, if not dangerous. Wheeling in Washington, however, will always be dif- ferent from that in New York, for the vast extent of the smooth streets here will tend to make bicycle riding more a matter of business than of pure pleasure, as it is bound to be in a city where the asphalt is a luxury,,and does not extend sufficiently down-town to enable the wheelerg ta reach their shops and offices by that means. Yet Washington needs some restrictive measures, and it needs them immediately. Scorching is becoming too frequent and too reckless on the Avenue. . Other streets, too, are chosen by the foolish riders who seek to exercise their muscles af the ex- pense of the more sedate portion of the population. The suggestion has already been made in The Star that the police force might well be equipped with a squad of fast riders, to chase and capture vio- latcrs of such an ordinance as should be at once drawn restricting the speed of wheels to the point of safety. + + Americans may be disposed to sneer at the action of Queen Victoria in grantinz yesterday to four distinguished English- men the honors of knighthood, but for some reasons it is to be deplored that it is not possible for this government to in some fashion distinguish the men of gen- tus whose works entitle them to marked recognition. The title bestowed upon Herry Irving, William Howard Russell— better known in this country as “Bull Run” Russell—Walter Besant and Lewis Morris is a small matter. It carries with it no added emoluments, no special privi- leges that to these men of wide profes- sional notortety and repute mean anything. But in the eyes of the English people, ac- customed as they are to these gracious.acts on the part of the crown, this tribute of aristocracy to genius is of consecuence. Unquestionably it is a valuable part of the English system of royalty, because these occasional openings of the door to the titled ranks to men of great prominence tends to bring the people in closer touch with the aristocratic classes, and to neu- tralize the natural tendency of the yeo- manry to antagonize the men whom chance and favoritism have placed above them. A great actor, a great journalist, a great author and a great poet have now been chosen to represent the people in this priv- ileged class. They are leaders of their pro- fessions, and their skill ard genius have given them a world-wide reputation. In America there is just enough respect for greatnegs to make the hearts of most people glad that the titles have been be- stowed, and it is probably true that these same titles, though they may be scoffed at by some, will lend even greater interest to the achievements of Irving, Russell, Besant and Morris. In- America there is mo such opportunity for the government to recognize and reward success. There is no system of medalling, no official Na- tional Academy, no title that can be be- stowed. The true spirit of democracy pre- vails, and to some it brings no regrets, but there are times when it would seem as if democracy might yield a little and lose nothing by granting to the men of un- questioned ability, whose names have risen to the top, some signal mark of distinction. Cengress sometimes thanks a great soldier or a sailor, but these honors are soon for- gotten, except by the recipients, and there is little to mark them in history save the bare record of the event in the annals of the day. —_ «+ ___ Of wider interest than a merely denomi- national event is the celebration, today in progress, of the one hundredth anniversary of Christ Church, the venerable Navy Yard parish. Having its origin in the early days of the Distriet of Columbia, this ancient institution is associated with much that has entered into the life of the city during the eventful period just closed. The men and womer who were active in the organi- zation of the church were among those who helped to lay broad and deep the foundations of the city’s prosperity. Christ Church has the distinction of being the first representative of the Episcopal church that entered upon the mission of good works on the site set apart for the nation’s capital. This particular parish is now one among a number of prosperous local subdivisions of the field of Episcopa- lian endeavor. The record of its many years of existence serves to emphasize not only the development of the Episcopal de- nomination at the seat of government but also the wonderful progress and growth of the city. + += Pressure is being applied to President Cleveland to make of him a financial peace- maker or compromiser. He would not be a success in that role. His financial policy, which has won him the confidence of the business interests of the country, has been bold and uncompromising in matters of principle. It is not Hkely that he will weaken now. It might be well if the op- posing forces on the money question could discuss the issue without calling one another hard names, and a compromise upon this point might be effected.. But at the present juncture it is hardly likely that either side would surrender through com- promise any principle for which it is con- tending with strong hopes of full success. —______ ++ —_ The free-silver men think it very hard that those whom they have playfully desig- nated as the Shylocks and blood-suckers of Wall street should make unkind all sions to the selfish cupidity of the silver- mine owners and the ignorance of fiat- money demagogues and disciples. And all the financial trimmers and compromisers are of the opinion that if the controversy has reached a point where the sensitive free-silver men are beginning to be abused, it is time for the campaign of abuse to cease. : ——_+-+ Ther: were eighty-four men employed on the city post-office building today--no in- crease over the small force of yesterday.

Morris of Springfield, Ohio, was sentenc2d to six years in the penitentiary for forgery and embezzlement. Isi- dor Rayner has withdrawn from the race for the Maryland governorship. Brick- makers went on a strike in Chicago to en- ferce their demand for higher wages.

The prime minister of Corea has resigned, and the minister of the interior bas applied to the representatives of the foreign powers for assistance. The Japan- ese government appointed Count Hayashi minister to China. Several of the his- torical palaces and a number of the art galleries in Florence and other Italian cities were damaged by the earthquake. The Spanish authorities report the de- feat of a rebel force in Eastern Cuba, in which Jose Marti, who was proclaimed leader of the revolutionary party, was killed. The Russian government is said to have declined to agree to the occupation of Corea by the Japanese. Nasrulla Khan, the second son of the Ameer of Afghan- istan, arrived in England and was shown distinguished courtesies. Queen Victoria’s seventy-sixth birthday was celebrated throughout England. Another revolution has broken out in Ecuador. Two anarch- ists were sentenced in Florence, Italy, to prison for thirty years, and one for life, for attempting to murder Signor Baudi on the day that Carnot was assassinated. At the lord mayor’s banquet in London Sir William Vernon Harcourt said there would be no departure from the present financial policy of England. The lower house of the Prussian diet adopted a mo- tion urging the government to take steps in favor of an international settlement of the currency question. In the District. Memortes of the Ford’s Theater disaster were recalled by the coming together of the congressional commission, which 1s direct- ed to report on the claims of the victims. On account of the increase in the price of flour and a proposition to add to the wages and lessen the hours of the jurymen bak- ers the wholesale price of bread was in- creased from three to four cents per loaf by the boss bakers. An enthusiastic recep- tion was accorded the Morton Cadets and the Fencibles on their return from the interstate drill at Memphis. The Morton Cadets won the second prize in class A, the first prize in class B and second in class C, and the Fencibles were rated sixth in class A. At the meeting of the trustees of the American University the balance of the fund needed for the erection of the first building was subscribed, and the ex- ecutive committee was authorized to se- cure plans for this building as well as for the entire scheme of buildings.

A Consideration, “Well, old man,” said Cholly’s friend, “aren't you glad you don’t have to pay any income tax?" “Why, weally, I coulda't expwess an opinion offhand, you know.

The Deadly Biscuit. “Women,” said Mrs. Meekton, earnestly, “are coming to the front. They have been downtrodden long enough.” “What are they going to do now?” asked her husband, apprehensively. “Do? They'll do what the times call for. They’ll march on the foe and destroy it with gunpowder, if necessary.” “Well,” was the meditative reply, “‘ don’t quite see the need of their takin’ to gunpowder. Not when some of ‘em are gettin’ such terrifyin’ results with bakin’ powder.” A Chance. “If I could run acfoss a horse called ‘Money,’ said the gloomy man at the races, “Fd bet on it.” Wh; “Because that’s the only thing that's sure to go fast around here.” A Nataral Curiosity. “Charley, dear,” said Mrs. Hunnimune, “I don’t think I take enough interest in things that men care for. Won't you tell me something about base ball? “Of course. Anything that I can.” “T’ve noticed that sometimes when a club gets beat it’s because the umpire doesn’t do right.” “Yes. “And sometimes because the wgather isn’t right.” “Yes.” “And sometimes because the audience doesn’t do right.” “Yes.”* “Well, Charley, dear, what I want to know is what the players have to do with the game?” A Reception.
