NOYES.........c0000e-Editor. es ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and ent cireulation much more fhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies.

Politician gees with grief 2 great danger {y the forward march of such organizations the United Society of Christian Endeavor. Not that there can Possibly be any objection to such conven- tions as that which has just been held in Boston, nor may any rational being say one word in opposition to the efforts of such ocietios to rove, by precept and ex- Qmple, the condition of fellow-beings whose Thoral sense {s less keen; all these things Gre admitted to be highly commendable and ‘Worthy of enthusiastic popular support. The danger is discovered in the likelihood that the Christian Endeavorers and the Ep- Leaguers and the various young peo- Ple’e societies that have a national organ- {zation may try to secure through con- certed use of the ballot some reformatory measure that will not co! in response to individual missionary effort. The spoiis- men are just now engaged in solemnly Warning the Endeavorers through the Newspapers that unless they are remark- ably wideawake they will be victimized by unscrupulous leaders who have political @mbitions. It is alleged as a fact to be re- gretted that the political tendency has ped out frequently at Boston duriag @ past week. The indications which have so horrified the practical politician were the things that were said to encourage every Endeavorer to do all in his or her Power to promote good citizenship. One of the speakers was even guilty of advising the many thousands of delegates and others who heard him to so work that they might “Jead great political parties to the highest virtues of which masses of men and wo- ™men are capable.” Such language as that is of course calculated to disturb -the con- scienceless partisan, for it may perhaps re- it in so amending political conditions that the decent men and women of the country ‘will be able to participate in practical pol- itics without feeling as though they were im any sense intruders. Very much sur- prised are the practical politicians that the language and suggestions of which they complain did not provoke even comment in the convention; they regret the dangerous inclination and are heartily. sorry that the movement should be under such inconsider- ate leadership. For the religious purposes of these organizations the ward-heelers have nothing but praise; they sorrow be- cause in the end these admirable sin- fighting forces must inevitably be disin- tegrated and scattered abroad if they med- die with politics, All this is very mystify- ing to people who are foolish enough to credit the practical politician with the pos- sesion of honesty of expression, but it !s very plain to those who know the heeler for what he is. The day when the party lead- ers could crack their whips and command the suffrage of the United States is rapidly passing away, and so far as the best ele- ments of our young people are concerned it bas gone forever. If the Christian En- deavor Society or any other society thinks it can achieve great good by unanimously voting for men who are pledged to favor certain reforms the society is unquestion- ably at liberty to vote as it pleases. These same men who object to the moral force in politics are the very ones who contin- vally prate of the benefits to be derived from party organization; who swear by Tammany, and who, to be consistent, must admit that other people have a right to organize and to so operate as to reach most rapidly the end desired. ——__ ¢ = —____ Comparison of the sailing qualities of the Defender—which will almost surely repre- sent the United States in the great yacht- ing contest for the America cup—and Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie I1I—with which the English hope to win—is not now possible, for neither of the boats has as yet done anything upon which to base anything like solid calculation. That they are both faster than the Vigilant and the old Val- kyrie seems to be generally admitted, al- though the Defender will have to defeat the Vigilant before the Iselin-Morgan-Van- derbilt syndicate can possess the honor of an exclusive right to meet the British yacht for the international championship. A couple of preliminary brushes between the two American yachts indicate manifest superiority on the part of the Defender; enough of superiority to make It certain that the Defender is the best racing boat that has yet been launched from an Ameri- can shipyard, and is therefore likely to do credit to the American people in the races which are to take place off our eastern coast in September. For the first time in the history of the competitions the Ameri- can yacht is without a centerboard; there is family resemblance between the lines, and even tne keels, of the British and the American craft. The two designers have apparently compromised with their very positive views of two or three seasons past with the probable result that both boats @re much more speedy than were any of their predecessors, ——— + «= ___ According to the Chicago Chtonicle, there has been no increase of wages to workmen in the Pullman shops, despite all glorifying annourcements that there had been an ad- vance of ten per cent, At least, the work- men have not experienced it; and under the rules at present existing the earnings of the best mechanics are Mmited to twenty-two cents per hour, When the an- nouncement of an advance was sent out the news seemed too good to be true. The only increase the Pullman concern knows anything about is raising the rates on the public. —~e+__ What will the new woman do on discov- ering that the husband whem she has raised to social position and on whom she has lavished every luxury ts determined to go on the stage? ———~ +2 __ As Cornell never did any crowing about the manuer in which the English oarsmen got left at the post, {t would be polite in Great Eritain to have as little to say about it as possible. —++2____ Has It come to this, that the modern naval officer must go throug 1% process of evolution similar to that which has trans- formed the jolly jack tar of the mast-head into a grimy stoker in the coal hole? Must the future wearer of gold lace and brass buttons conform not only his habits of thought but his girth and stature to the conditions of the great fighting machines of which he fs an essential accessory? Must he train down, in order to be able to Give quickly and conveniently under cover when the enemy begins to pay attention to his vessel with shot and shell? Must he— perish the thought—must he bant? It is to be feared that he must. The dilemma that gives rise to these paralyzing possibilities has just developed, and is sending a chill of horror through naval circles—especially the large circies—and shocking the nerve- centers of the club stewards. The discov- ery has been made that the slot-like en- trances in the conning towers of the new battle ships are not large enough to admit the entrance of @ person of: more than eighteen inches in diameter. The misfor- tune is that this does not represent the size of the average naval officer. Eighteen inches, indeed! Twenty-four inches were nearer the mark. The case presents two necessities: either the slots must be en- larged, and so increase the chances. of a shot entering the towers, or the diam- eters of the line and staff of the navy must be reduced. At present the officlal opinion leans toward the former solution. Better to run the risk of getting hit occasionally, say the officers who have so far been called upon for their judgment, then to dispense with the good things of life that go to make up the discrepancy between the two unac- commodating dimensions. Better be shot than to train! In this interesting and some- what heroic attitude the naval officer is now left standing, while the architects are de- vising new curves for the conning towers that will enable the largest admiral to slide through without abrasion. Whatever the solution finally agreed upon, It is sincerely to be hoped that the newer navy will not be so constructed as to Interfere at all seriously with the social functions of the officers. All is not gold that glitters, and there are drawbacks, it appears, even to the life of the occupant of the quarter-deck. ——__++ + —__ Enforcement of the excise law in New York seems to have stirred the people of Manhattan Island considerably. Argument 8s to the wisdom of enacting such regula- tions or as to the extent of popular de- mand for their enforcement cannot prop- erly be injected into the present situation; the main point is that there is a law which prohibifs the sale of intoxicants in New York city on the Sabbath day, and that law the police commissioners are engaged in enforcing. It may be, as bas frequently been alleged by those who ought to know what they are talking about, that the legis- lature responsible for the law never sup- posed !t would be insisted upon by the municipal authorities. When the excise bill was enacted, Tammany was in control, and as Tammany’s main support was the liquor dealers no ordinarily sensible person could ever have imagined that the statute would really work any change in Sunday conditions in Gotham.’ But now Tammany is no longer in centrol—it is practically a fugitive from justice—and there are at the head of New York's city government men who, having sworn to be governed by the law, are fulfilling the promises made under oath. To abuse them for doing this is mere wickedness; were they to do otherwise than they are doing they would be unfit to oc- cupy the responsible positions which they have been called upon to fill. —_—__+ + +____ Is it not possible for all the members of our efficient police force to maintain a neat appearance? It may be argued that ap- pearance is a non-essential, but, on the other side, it may be asked whether there is any real reason why an officer should look slouchy while on duty. For some time past the display of untidiness on the part of some officers has been marked; unbut- toned coats, that expose, in the absence of vests, more or less rumpled and dirty neglige shirts, belng much too common. In other cities, where the police force is not nearly as effective as ours, there are regulations strictly enforced as to neatness while on duty or in uniform. Why should the gen- eral average of excellence here be lowerad by inattention to this matter of appear- ance? —~-2+—___ » Eighty-five man were employed today on the new city post-office. This increase in the force may he premonftory of a real ef- fort to finish the job within the present century. ————~+-—____ Some of the writers who belleve that man descended from the monkey appear to ac- cept that as an excuse for monkeying with pepular credulity on all scientific subjects. —_+-—____ It is very difficult for a great many peo- ple to understand why a man should con- tinue to be a reformer after the election is all over. ——_-++___ Theodore Roosevelt takes the polite at- titude that New York being the largest city of the country ought to be the most moral. —_——__ + =___ Some of the Chicago aldermen find a shade of solace in contemplating Governor Altgeld’s record as a pardonist. i It seems very difficult for the average newspaper writer to realize that the war in Asia is over. —++2____ Beware the man who advertises his own merits; also the man who has no merits to advertise. ——+++____ SHOOTING STARS, A Cautious Selection. “They say that you've got to go,” sald the sparrow to the overhead trolley. “Yes,” was the reply. “Have you selected any date for your exit?” “I have. I think I'll be ready to get out just about the date of the completion of the city post-office, ‘The Statesman.

Looking at the Bright Side. “Well,” said the camel in the circus pa- rade, “there’s some comfort for me after all.” “What do you mean?” “My hump fs pretty bad, but it might be worse. I don’t ride a bicycle.” Taken Care of Himself. “There's one thing that lessens my labors somewhat,” remarked the Foolkiller, thoughtfully. “What's that?” “The man who rocks the boat and points unloaded firearms at people generally smokes cigarettes. Even if I don’t get a chance to give him my personal considera- tion, he gets attended to in time.” Always Apprecinted There. “What will you do,” she asked, sneering- ly, “when women have demonstrated their superiority and men are but small second- ary considerations?” “I'm not afwaid of any such conditions,” said Cholly. “Why not?” “When I see them thweatening, I'll go and live at a summer wesort.” Revised. Wilt, wilt, wilt, Oh, collar, moistly inert! And that laundried cuff; What a draggled bluff!— ’Tis the song of the summer shirt. The Sensation. “How does it feel to be a great man with your party?” asked the populist politician of the man who had consented to run on the ticket. “To soar over the heads of your fellow-men and be the object of the uni- versal gaze.” “Well,” was the reply, “to tell you the truth, I feel like a man going up in a bal- loon without any parachute or any ballast.” —___ 6-2 Law Abiding.
