8 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY..... sececeees May 31, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES.............:.. Editor. THB EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washifigton dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competiton C7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- 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. ‘The next election that takes place in New York city will be wetcked closely by all classes of observant people. Inspectors of election, poll clerks and ballot clerks are appointed by the board of police commis- sioners, end as until recently the board was an important wheel in the political ma- chine its appointees were of course the creatures of the board and of the power that sustained it. The natural conse- quences were found in election scandals that for uwhile would completely cover with disgrace all that was left of the good name of New York city. The lMkelihood of repetition of the extremely-discreditable conduct hitherto common has been re- moved by the appointment of a board 8f police commissioners every member of which is honestly engaged in the work of purifying municipal government in Gotham. President Roosevelt now announces that the board will engage only men of integ- rity; men of good character who can read, write, and speak the English language un- derstandingiy. The law requires that the commizsicners shall appoint these election officials from the two reguiar party organizatiors polling the largest vote at the last election in each election district, but instead of appointing those whose de- pendence is on political influence the board will make its selection from among those whose honesty cannot easily he questioned. The new plan will involve a great deal of work, but the returns will surely make plain the benefits resulting necessarily from the change. The board has an- nounced that it will welcome assistance from outside citizens of good character who will give information as to the char- acter of the men whcse names are sub- mitted to tre board by the regular party organizations, so that the chances for the appointment of officials who are educa- tionally or otherwise unfit will doubtless be reduced to a minimum. —__+0+___ ce the cheapness of silver has resulted in the application of that metal to ordinary everyday uses, there has been tremendous | increase in the sales of that product, and it Is now a common thing for average households to possess more of silverware than could be found in the homes of the | wealthy twenty or thirty years ago. Al large proportion of the ware is stamped either “steriing” or “coin,” so the posses- | sors are of the opinion that should the beauty of the manufactured article be de- stroyed by fire or other accident they would nevertheless own material which would al- ways have a market value and which could easily be disposed of. This would undoubt- edly be the situation were it not for the fact that unscrupulous men have been busily engaged in manufacturing ware stamped “sterling,” in which the prepor- tion of silyer is not greater than fifty per cent, while other and more conscientious dealers have contented themselves with selling for the genuine article stuff that had no more than seventy-five per cent of | * the expensive white metal in its make-up. Ten states have laws through which such misdemeanors can be punishe nd as the result of recent investigation and agitation it Is probable tha* a number of those who have been engaged in cheating their cus- tomers will be brought to account in crim- inal courts, as they ought to be. —-—- «= A serious accusation is made against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company by some of the citizens of Langdon—which is one of Washingtor:’s suburbs. It is al- leged that the distance fromthe Baltimore and Ohio station in this city to the station at Langdon is less than three miles, yet | the company requires persons traveling | from one of those points to the other to pay for four miles of transportation. Sim- ilar charges have been made in times past by residents of other communities located along the Washington branch of the B. and O., but those who gave utterance to the accusations have invariably failed to do anything practical. There should be no difficulty in establishing beyond question the length of the Baltimore and Ohio Com- pany’s lines from this city to any point between here and Baltimore; the work of measurement is not necessarily expensive. This matter ts one of considerable !mport- ance, not, perhaps, because of the few ceyts of alieged overcharge on each fare fre Washington to the nearest of our big ne«chbors, or to any intervening sta- tion, but “\cause of the principle involved. If the distance to Baltimore ts only thirty- elght miles by the Baltimore and Ohio road there is no reason why passengers should be compelled to pay for forty miles of travel-accommodation. ——__+ e+ —_____ Superheated mankind ts rarely philo- sophical, therefore the majority of human beings resident in this thoroughly warmed vicinity indulge naturally in anti-insolation comment and pine frequently and audibly for the coming of those days when the mercury is less ambitious than it now is, the season when cool breezes temper the warmth of the sun's rays. Sufferers from the heat are given to Impatience at such times as these, and, as a rule, do not care to be advised as to the best methods for the maintenance of equanimity, but it is heverthe that the tndividual who man- ‘p his mind in a fairly caim con- dition is the one who will lose the least flesh through perspiration and be least in- commodei by the uncommon warmth. There are in existence many ingenious dey- fees for diminishing hot weather discom- ‘fort, but they are neither needed nor sought to any great extent by the people who eat moderately of the right kinds of food and who abstain from endeavoring to chill themselves by filling their stomachs with frigid decoctions that generally de- feat the object for which they are used. ages to k — + _____ Americans who are proud of the war- ips which will represent the United States at the celebration at Kiel and who know how expensive such continuing func- tions gene are to the officers of ships, hope that the Navy Department has made able provision for the entertainment of licers on the occasion which will be graced by the presence of the New York, Columbia, San Francisco and Marblehead. Prior to the great naval rendezvous in Hampton Roads, officers of the navy had practically been compelled to indulge per- sonaliy in expensive entertainment of offi- cers of foreign vessels on ali public occa- sions in which the navy made appearance. To assist the officers who were at the rendezvous, and later at the naval parade In New York harbor, President Harrison agreed with the Secretary of the Navy that it would only be proper to provide out of an available fund the sum of $10,000 to be used for entertainment purposes. Since then the precedent has been used to supply the ollicers of the cruiser Chicago—on her f voyage to Europe—with the sum of $1,000 for the same purpose That the United States ships will be visited by a very large proportion of the foreign offi- cers at Kiel is certain, for the white fleet has reputation second to none in the im- portant matter of all-round efficiency. Scattered over and through those four cruisers are practical applications of many of the brightest of naval ideas, and there is especial excellence as to armament. The visiting officers will, of course, expect at least the ordinary hospitalities such as are common enough among civilized people, and it would be unfair to the United States officers to instst upon their footing the bills. A reasonable presumption ts that the Navy Department has provided Admiral Kirk- land with an amount suffieient to render it unnecessary for the officers to assess them- selves heavjly in order that the national repute may not suffer. If such action has not been taken, it ought to be at once. ————_+ +2 ____ If the overhead trolley had as firm a hold in every city in the country as it has in Brooklyn, Memorial Day would soon be de- voted to mourning for trolley victims, Spe- cial services were held in the city of churches yesterday, at which the graves of the trolley-killed were decorated, while trolley-maimed and other otators dis- coursed fervidly of trolley evils to the few Brooklynites who have escaped injury. What a commentary on Brooklyn's civiliza- tion! —_++2—____ This ts the time of year when the sweet girl in white muslin and pink ribbons tells us that we can find a useful lesson in the legend she has just cribbed from some standard author, and that by our kindness and helpfulness towards others we may give an outward and visible sign of our true and sweet inward disposition. And then she goes home and complains that her mother makes such a dust when she is housecleaning. ——_ + +> __.
