As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. c7In 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 Editorinl or Busiuess Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The decieion of the cabinet adverse to the | clesing of the executive departments at 3 clock Saturday afternoons during the hot Weather has been productive of communica- tions In which exception is taken to the oMetal construction of the statute which ts | quoted prohibiting any diminution in | the hours of departmental laber. It tf: ermued t if the act of March 3, recogni: the power of the chief execu- tive to order a whole holiday, it foliow that the executive may order a half holi- day or any other fraction of a holiday. Eut all the power is not vested In the President. The act says: “Provided, the heads of departments’ may, by special order, Stating the reason, fu r extend or limit the hours of service of any clerk or em- ploye in their departments, respectivel but in case of extension it shall be with- adcitional compensation.” That pro- ms to give to the heads of depart- Ments authority to shut up shop when they please. It has never been charged, even | by the least somnolent of all the great pack | of Treasury “watech-dog: that the custom of letting the clerks get away from their desks a little « on summer Saturdays | than usual wrought any especial harm to Uncle Sam or any of his relatives. The | additional relaxation afforded by the extra hour of leisure meant only small loss, and perhaps no loss at all, in the total of work performed, and was probably more than compensated for by the better spirit that the clerks acquired under the influence of @ generous policy. If it be righteous and legal to compel the clerks—as has often been dc to work more than the regular number of hours each day, then it should be easy to so construe the act in question us to permit the heads of departments to make such abbreviation of one of the six working days as has been the common e for a long time past. If the ad- ministration continues to hold that there can be no abriézement of working time on Saturdays, then there will be general re- Bret a! Secretary Morton's disagreeable dis- covery. ——— ++ __ An Amer! citizen complains that while on a visit to Germany—his native land—he was imprisoned and otherwise im- properly treated, and finally declared to be eligible for service in the German army, in spite of his protests, his passport and his naturalization papers. Ere this the case has probably been referred to the State Department, and in the course of Ume—the length of the period depending considerably upon the manner in which the State Department goes to work—this citi- wen will probably be released and permitted to return to the United States. There have been many such occurrences and, unless this administration makes emphatic declar- ation as to the independence of American citizenship, there will be many more such instance at some phases of the sub- ject demand delicate treatment {3 unques- tioned, for tt is undoubtedly the fact that @ goodly number of Germans have come to this country and acquired naturaliza- tion mainly for the purpose of avoiding the ccmpulsory military service, which is so conspicuous a feature of German ex- iatence; it is also alleged to be the fact that immediately afu curing naturaliza- tion papers there develops in the new citl- zen a desire to visit the fatherland, so that he may make boastful reference to the manner in which he has exempted himself. But these not unnatural actions cannot reasonably be taken into consideration when a great principle is at stake. The unfair treatment of an American citizen by the German authorities affords Secretar. Olney an opportunity to enunciate, in such @ manner that there shall be no possibility of misunderstanding, the doctrine that citi- zenship by selection outranks citizenship by the accident of birth, and that the United States will not permit any improper interference with the common privileges of those who have sworn allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. —__ +2 —_— The defenders, paid and unpaid, of Jack- son City and Rossiyn are sensitive lest the good name of Virginia and Washington shall sufter from the crusade against gam- bling and connected crimes along the Poto- mac. The ruin brought to thousands of the young, and to a thousand homes and busi- ness establishments, through the unas- sailed existence of this curse-spot, this blot upon the fair repute of Virginia and the national capital, does not concern them. In their philosophy unexposed vice is nelther an injury nor a reproach to a community, and to uncover and assail the destructive wickedness which flaunts itself in Alexan- dria county is to abuse Virginia and tra- duce Washington. No reputable citizen, Whose instincts are clean and honest, and whose tende ‘3 are toward moral better- ment, will be likely to agree with them. —- + +e Lack of structural iron—which should have been on the ground six weeks or more £g0—prevents anything like real progress in matter of building the new city post- office. Today there were only twenty-eight men laboring on all the vast framework which continually invites comment on its incomp who ki would be be kind enough to notify an anxious multi- > as to the the blcan identity of rej d democratic nominees for President in In spi that were set up la board of alderme lemocrats been who, jard-t Whit Mr. rm crati am thus bri ly th cnally fine qualiti for his Americanism, but also of those who delight In presidential candidates who are the proprietors of large and easily-tapped barrels. From the standroint, therefore, of the sound-money and strongly-American democrat and the partisan who is careless as to the character of the platform so long as the campaign fund shows no signs of Weakness, Mr. Whitney appears to be the logic of the situation. It is defying prece- dent and overthrowing history to insist that Mr. Whitney's declination 1s final. When Grover Cleveland accepted his first ncmination for President, he insisted stren- uously that in the eligibility of the Presi- dent for re-electicn there existed “a most serious danger to that caim, deliberate, and intelligent political action which must characterize a government by the people.” Since then Mr. Cleveland has twice suf- fered nomination, and is now occupying the presidential Chair for the second time and threatened by the possibility of a feurth nomination. Why shovld anyone despair of bringing about later a radical change of opinion in Mr. Whitney, who has cnly been interviewed? + 6 —______ Electricity continues to threaten steam as a motive power on railroads that have heavy suburban passenger traffic. The Star has several times called attention to the tendencies of steam railroad corporations in the direction of electricity, a prominent example being that of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which will, it is reason- ably expected, operate between this city and Alexandria in the near future by over- head trolle: Now another great corpora- tion—the New York Central—is said to be seriously considering the proposition to substitute electricity for steam on the New York and Putnam Railroad; a line fifty miles in length, that runs northeasterly from New York city through the Harlem val it is quite likely that the change of motive power will be entirely unobjec- tionahle, for there will be no decrease of peed and there surely will be increase of cleanliness and a greater number of trains. On railroad rights of way—provided the public safety is secured in the same man- ner as if steam were employed—the over- head-trolley system of propulsion is proba- bly all right. Its cheapness appeals to the tenderest sympathies of the railroads, while its poles and wires do not interfere with the inalienable privileges of private citi- zens. Should electric motors be installed on the New York and Putnam road, there soon may follow direct electric-car communica- tion between New York city and Boston, for the New York and Putnam would pro- vide that desirable and necessary some- thing—entrance into New York city. Com- petition between the steam and electric roads for suburban business must inevita- bly result electric victory; therefore it Would not be at all surprising (to meet the aggressiveness which is being displayed by a couple of electric companies to the north of this city) if the Baltimore and Ohio com- pany should also be compelled to run trains for some distance up the Metropolitan branch by the newer and more economical of electric methods. oe No graduates from the colleges for women have made ostentatious declara- tions of their intention never to marry. And yet ft is altogether possible that sev- eral of the youths who so confidently put themselves on record will be refused before the summer is over by some of these same unprotesting young women. ——__+ ++ ____ The fact that he is having two pictures of himself made may yet place ex-President Harrison under the necessity of denying that he is going to make the bill-board dis- play a feature of the next campaign. ——_ ++ President Cleveland missed a sensational opportunity to worry David B.
