THE EV NING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In 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. A few more reunions among the business men of Washington and the officers and members of the District National Guard such as that which took place yesterday at Fort Washington on the occasion of the visit of the representatives of the Board of Trade to the encampment will do wonders toward placing the local militia on an even more effective basis than at present. The speeches of President Warner of the Board of Trade and Gen. Ordway, the commander of the citizen soldiery of the District, brought out two distinct facts that are highly siznificant and important. The first of these is that the business men of the city, speaking through Mr. Warner, have come to realize and appreciate the great value to the community of the local exis erce of a well organized militia, and, sec- ond, Gen. Ordway showed, though that was not his main purpose, that the local Na- tional Guard has achieved Its present high place of efficiency with little or no aid from Congress, and that with more liberal ap- Propriative provision the guard will be able to give to Washington a better system of protection through its citizen soldiery than that enjoyed by any other city in the coun- try. As Gen. Ordway sald, the militia sys tem Is characteristic and representative of the republic. Its necessity and value were recognized in the Constitution of the United States, the preamble of which spoke of pro- visions “for the common defense,” pre- sumably by the people themselves, and among the powers vested in Congress was that of providing for calling forth the miil- tia, “‘to execute the laws of the Union, sup- press insurrections and repel invasions. The vital relation of the militla to the re- Public is directly affirmed in the second amendment to the Constitution, which Speaks of “a well regulated militia being recessary to the security of a free state.” ‘fhus, the fundamental laws of the land, as Gen. Ordway pointed out, established close relations between the people and thelr own defense by the institution of a citizen sol- diery that could be relled upon to stand as a barrier between order and civil chaos, a force to be utilized in sudden emergen- cies, and to furnish the best material for @ great army in case of war. The Consti- tut’ in thus estabiishing and approving a militia system, while providing ample means of self-protection, recognized the danger to the state and the people involved in the maintenance of a great standing army. It will be fortunate if through this better understanding between the National Guard and the business men Congress can be prevailed upon to increase the ratio of appropriations per man in the militia, which ls today lower in the District than in any state in the Union. The National Guard of the District indeed deserves great credit for its existence today, in view of the lack of legislation requiring service and of the ab- sence of appropriations to meet actual and necessary expenses. In view of the voluntary character of the service rendered, and the personal pecuniary sacrifices un- dergone, as well as in view of the high dis- cipline and efficiency attained in spite of every discouragement, the local guard should have high rank among the militia organizations of the country, and should be aided on every hand by the hearty co-op- eration of all the business men. The inter- change of ideas at Fort Washington yester- day probably marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the local militia, and the good seed sown on this occasion should bear fruit in the future. —___ + e+ ____ The conviction of Capt. Howgate today will undcubtedly surprise a great many citizens "who thought that there would be through lack of evidence a total failure to reach a satisfactory conclusion in this cele- brated case. The finding of the jury teaches a lesson. It indicates that guilt may be punished even after the lapse of years in which evidence may disappear naturally or be déstroyed, and even after successful flight from the hands of the law, with the semi-approval of officials who in the present case, it is generally believed, krew of the whereabouts of the fugitive during a greater part of his self-imposed isolation from the scenes of his former popularity and for some reason concealed him from justice. Capt. Howgate’s con- viction under all the circumstances should serve as a warning to any government official who may be tempted to think lightly of his duties to the people while entrusted with large sums of money and grave responsibilities. His acquittal, after the confession involved in flight, would have had just the opposite effect in its ten- dency to demoralize the public service. ——__ ee The lofty assumption in England that a diplomatic representative of that coun- try must mean what he says comes pretty near being the crowning absurdity of the decade, ——___- . « & -—_—_ Russ ge will please step up and pay for his protection. —— + ee - While the District Commicsioners, in the opinion of most citizens, could not well have acted otherwise than they did yes- terday afternoon in reference to the Eck- ington Road’s trolley poles on New York avenue, they are still to be commended for their prompt choice of a course and the unmistakable tone of firmness which they imparted to their official reply to Manager Schoepf’s letter. Nine days will now elaps before the law of Congress requiring the removal of the poles shall go into e ys will be full of the people and perhaps these nine d of wonder on the part whether or not the decision of the city’ rs is to be strictly enforced, and poles removed. The game of the Eckington company is apparent. It is easier to secure 1 renewal of a right held by virtue of pri on than it is to If by any pre- text the company can cling to the physical occupation of the streets by the poles and wires, whether operated or not, a plea for further right to run the road by this cheap and objectionable system and to extend its operations over the whole city will have @ better chance for success than if these obstructions are finally removed. There- fore the watchword of the corporation 1: “Never give up an inch until absolutely forced to do s0,”" Manager Schoepf assumes an air of great distress. He does not know what the road can do. He intimates, even declares, that the law as it stands prevents him from substituting horse power for the trolley. There is apparently not a shadow of justification for this claim. The statute that gave existence to the company opened the whole wide field of transportation methods to {t, granting to it the right to use “horse, cable or electric power,” That right has never been abridged, The stat- ute of July 6, 1892, authorizing the general extension of the road 6n North Capitol &treet, New Jersey avenue, and out east to tuting the word “steam” for “horse,” so that the branch could he operated by herses, but not by steam power. If the road has not now the right to equip the line from Seventh street to Florida avenue with horses, pending the grant of the right to increase the bonded indebtedness in order to change the motive power to some other system of rapid transit—for which application has never been made—by what right did the company change its system on G street from storage batteries to horse power? The same conditions that then pre- vailed are still in application today. Man- ager Schcepf seems to be trying to be- cloud the reason of the people by pathetic references to laws that do not exist, to re- quirements that have never been placed upon his company, and to complications that are the result solely of the wilful pro- crastinating negligence of the corporation. He either forgets or ignores the fact that the only compulsory provision of Congress requiring the substitution of rapld transit for horse power ever passed for application to the District of Columbia related to the roads connecting Washington and George- town, therefore the Washington and Georgetown company and the Metropolitan line. Beyond these two instances there have never been any efforts by Congress to force the adoption of other means of transportation than those in use. Congress has, however, told the Eckington company what kind of power it could not use, and in terms so unmistakable that argument over the matter is futile. The law gives the compeny the choice of putting in the electric system with which it has been ex- perimenting with results announced as satisfactory, or any other unobjectionable motive power, or of retrograding to horses, or of quitting the transportation business and making way for somebody who will regard law and public sentiment. —___+ ¢« —___ The day is rapidly passing when the ap- proach of the end of a fiscal year brings general fear and trembling to the citizens of Washington, thousands of whom for- merly were annually fretting under a Da- moclesian sword of dismissal attached to the old-fashioned spoils system by the most slender of threads. Of course, there will always be thore or less shifting among the individual employes of departments on the first of July of each year as emergen- cies of business and the fluctuations of work demand a reduction or an increase of force. But never again, unless the country shall be blind enough and foolish enough to deliberately return to the demoralizing system of appointments that regards a public office as a means of paying political debts, will Washington be treated to the periodical spectacle of wholesale dismissals caused by administrative changes instead of the exigencies of the service. This change, besides improving the public ser- vice, is greatly beneficial to the commercial interests of the city and to all who profit by the development of Washington as a city of summer homes, and the merchants and artisans who do not enthusiastically praise the operations of the civil service law for the benefits done to their business are few in number and are growing less numerous every year. This year a larger number of government employes are now under the beneficent operations of-the civil service law than ever before, and the city’s trade is correspondingly on a surer and mcre satisfactory footing. A wholesale dis- missal here corresponds to a financial panic in a more commercial city, and is just as much to be regretted by the merchants and workingmen and others interested in the welfare of the community. Every exten- sion therefore of the civil service law and every means to insure its perfect enforce- ment mean so much more strength given to the material interests of the city. —_——_++____ Emperor William may not be uniformly successful in his remarks to the Reichstag, but there is no denying his ability when it comes to officiating at a celebration with fireworks in the evening. —_—r++>___ It is shrewdJy asserted that Jerry Simp- son has not yet showed his hand.
