6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1895—-TEN_ PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WUESDAY.................duly 23, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [7 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 Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — = Yesterday's race makes It certain that, barring accilert, the new yacht Defender will compete with Lord Dunraven’s Val- Kyrie ITI for a trophy which, since the days ef the famous old America, has been con- tinuously in the poeseasion of Americans; a tropky which represents superiority of yacht construction and yacht sailing. Year _after year the princes among British sportsmen have sailed their racing craft across the Atlantic for the purpose of ad- ministering defeat to their Yankee rivals, id have returned laden with disappoint- ment. Each succeeding British boat has been more speedy than its predecessor, but there was just as much improvement on this side of the water, so there was no change in the general result. This year the defeated Lord Dunraven is coming over with a boat that is unquestionably the very best yacht ever turned out of a British ship-bvilder’s yard, and to meet that yacht three wealthy Americans have provided in the Defender a racing machine still lack- ing development, yet even at this time be- Neved to be superior to the Dunraven boat on which so much of English money will be wagered. Yesterday’s contest with last year’s winner—George Gould’s Vigilant— seems to have satisfied the experts that in every respect the Defender is much the better boat than the Vigilant, although the Vigilant is considerably more speedy than it was last September. In all sorts of winds the Defender was quite up to the expecta- tions of its owners and builders, and did especially well in what is already being termed Valkyrie weather, which, being in- terpreted, means a smooth sea and a very light breeze. Experience acquired yester- day indicates the possibility of a consider~ able increase in the Defender’s gait; the changes will at once be made, and, coin- cijentally, there will be sufficient exercis- ing of the Defender’s crew to bring that body of seamen up to the standard of ex- cellence which is common on the Vigilant. Nautical prophets, who, by reason of their successful forecasting in seasons past, are entitled to every consideration, seem to be Satisfied that, as the result of increased smartness of the crew and a few minor changes, the Defender will break every hting record over a thirty-mile course and be triumphantly victorious over any- thing that comes from other waters to contest for the great yachting champion- ship. -_——_2s+o—___— The Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Rail- ‘oad Company seems to be at last in a @osition where it will have to obey the law. This state of affairs 1s undoubtedly sur- prising, but there seems to be no excuse for doubting the statement that in this particular encounter with the courts—which Yepresent the people—this statute-defying eciporation must inevitably suffer defeat. Distressing as this will undoubtedly be to the company, it should bear its lot with the nearest possible approach to meekness, for from the day of its organization down to the time when Prosecuting Attorney Pugh got a good grip on its collar, the company has done only what seemed unto it best. The public interest has never been a mat- ter of any concern whatever, and prac- cally no attention has been paid to the prctests and petitions of thousands of citi- zens whose rights have been outraged by the corporation that now, as the law’s halter tightens, pleads for special and il- Tegal privileges, and for protection frgm aileged persecution. ————> = _____ The new chief of detectives in New York announces that he means to entirely free that city of professicnal criminals, whether they ply their trade there or not. Whether he will be able to permanently enforce this policy, even if it be successfully inaugu- fated, remains to be seen. Undoubtedly, however, he will undertake to make his promise good, for a while at least. This action means large accessions*to the crimi- nal classes of other rear-by cities, and ‘Washingtcn will be pretty sure to get a Portion of the exiles. Forewarned 1s fore- armed. Oar police authorities should be on the fockout, and prevent a single one of the criminal overflow from gaining a foot- ing here.

Some of the important changes have been accounted for by local causes, but the minor differences of opinion existing in each of the constituencies could not pos- sibly have accomplished the tremendous upset which has for awhile stunned Hberal- ism and made the conservatives noisily triumphant. It fs to be presumed that the defeated candidates .know the nature of the power which struck successfully so many heavy blows, and they, according to one of the most observant London corre- spondents, assert that their overthrow was brought about by beer. The liberal party has for many years leaned decidedly to the side of temperance in the matter of intox!- eating lquors and the tendency direction has lately been much more pro- nounced than ever before. Of this fact the conservatives naturally took advantage and as conservative administrations have al- | ways been friendly to the liquor interests a sharply-defined issue was forcibly pre- sented. The testimony of the liberals that the “lower classes” rallied vigorously to the support of the liquor-sellers, some- thing which the lower classes, as they are | called, have never done before. Then thousands of “middle class” liberals de- serted their party because they were stock- holders in the recently-crganized brew companies and could not, therefore, afford to support a party which, If it had the power, would be likely to legislate adverse- ly to the financial interests of all who are concerned ip the production and disposal of intoxicating lquids. This theory of Iib- eral defeat seems to be reasonable, but it oes not entirely account for the manner In which liberal candidates were knocked in that | is | ee out in London. There the slight increase of taxes—rendered necessary by valuable improvements that were being made throughout the whole municipal adminis- tration—resulted disastrously to the party which through its agents had done the best it possibly could to cleanse, to beauti- fy and to make more desirable in every way the greatest city in the world. Experi- ence of the liberal candidates in London is not at all unique; it has many times been duplicated on this side of the Atlantic. People cry aloud for :mprévements and undoubtedly enjoy all the varieties of municipal betterment that the ingenious mind of modern man can suggest or devise, but the great bulk of the population kicks with exceeding force when the bill is pre- sented and has to be paid. Another factor in the defeat is the home rule issue. Lib- eral advocacy of home rule for Ireland caused the loss of every “unionist” vote in the English constituencies, without secur- ing all of the home-rule Irish votes, jealous wrangling among the Irish factions alien- ating enough voters to cause the loss of several English seats, including that of John Morley, the strongest and most earn- est advocate of Irish home rule, who was defeated because Parnellite vetes were withheld from him. The Irish have them- selves been largely instrumental in post- poning home rule. —_+++——__—_ It is announced as interesting informa- tion that one-ninth part of the gum used on the back of United States postage stamps is pure alcohol. These New York- ers who scem to regard “dry” Sundays with so much dread may be suspected of being the persons most deeply interested in this fact. The desperate individuals who must become more or less intoxicated on Sunday or be miserable had better, how- ever, geek medical advice before they set- tle down to the cultivation of a postage- stamp “Jag,” for the other eight parts of the mucilage consist of one of acetic acid, two of dextrine and five of water. The bibulously-experionced, disregarding the acetic acid and the dextrine, will at once note the undue preponderance of water and may, if political organization is ef- fected in kehalf of the movement, improve the quality of the new tipple by insisting that the stamps would be much more ad- hesive were the quantities of alcohol and water transposed. Should partisan activity go successfully thus far, it might be that even the thirsty New Yorker would gaze uneencernedly on the barred side-doors of saloons, his solace being found in the chew- ing of one, two or three or many postage stamps. The stamps consimed would of course be of the one-cent variety because there would be no advantage whatever in purchasing stamps of mcre valuable de- nominations, the mucilage being the same on all of them. Just what the cost of stamp-intoxication would be cannot at this time be estimated, but all the probabilities are that it would be much too expensive for the average citizen; to say nothing of the annoyances corsequent upon stray fragments of Benjamin Franklin's ultra- marine visage wandering into sensitive por- tions of the consumer’s anatomy.

Progress of Civil Service Reform. Henry Macfarland in Boston Herald. No one has any doubt now that the prin- ciples of civil service reform will be applied to all the offices of the government, and that in all probability this work will be ac- complished before the present administra- tion goes out of power, and the most anti- quated spotisman has no real belief that he will ever be able to get the old system re- stored even in a very limited way. Presi- dent Cleveland has extended the civil ser- | vice rule to the last stronghold of the spoilsman in the federal service—the gov- | ernment printing office—so that there is now no government place outside of the classified service except the administrative | offices, the offices known as chiefs of di- | visions and the private secretaries, together | with the charwomen and such humble la- borers, and these excepted places—only a | few score all told—will probably be brought | within the rules before the 4th of March, | iso7. I believe that the consular service and the smaller post-offices will also be in- cluded by that time. Even the offices of thes District of Columbia, for which the spoilsmen haye hitherto clamored when they could not get their followers in else- where, have new, by the wise and brave action of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, been brought under civil ser- vice rules, so that it can now be said that there is practically no way of getting an office in the District of Columbia except throvgh the examinations of the civil ser- vice commission.
