THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895-TEN PAGES. i THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. August 16, 1895. seeeeeeee es Editor, NING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and abs gis Medium it has ne competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be nddressed 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. In connection with the most recent of the deaths at the city post-office building, it has been suggested that so far as may be possible the building regulations of the District of Columbia should apply to all buildings within that jurisdiction, whether they are erected for private individuals or for the general government. Quite possibly such an innovation would mest with op- position from the federal authorities in charge of federal architecture and con-' struction, but the opposition could count upon having to contend with public senti- ment probably powerful enough to ulti- mately result in vigorous enforcement of tho local laws which have been or may be framed for the purpose of affording all pos- sible protection to those who are employed upon local edifices. Really there should not be any clash between the federal and the municipal, for the governmental con- ditions at the national capital are unlike those of any other city in the country. Here the municipal is federal, and in very many Instances the federal is municipal. The President of the United States and Congress, either directly or through the three Commissioners to whom certain powers are delegated, rule absolutely, so there is no sufficient reason why building regulations that are deemed necessary in the majority of cases should not be applied to all buildings. The logic of this conclu- sion is materially strengthened by the fact that when death ensues on a federal build- ing as the result of the neglect or ignor- ance of some official or contractor, legal cognizance is taken of the occurrence by the coroner, who is. strictly speaking, a municipal official, while the jury of citi- zens summoned by the coroner constitutes a body organized under municipal law. If the coroner and is juries may make searching inquiry into such happenings as that which last week cost an employe at work on the city post-office building his life, and may imprison any federal official or contractor who may to them appear blameworthy, then surely the District Commissioners, to whom the coroner is subordinate, and by whom he may be re- moved at any time, should have the right to Insist that. the safeguards they deem necessary in the building of municipal and private edifices shall be supplied on struc- tures that are being put up by federal au- thority. There will be no improper inter- ference with the plans of the supervising architect of the Treasury Department; he will have at :east all of the rights that adhere to unofficial architects, and would, in case the regulations were carefully obeyed, be relieved entirely of such 1e- sponsibility as comes from the untimely decease of men who in their endeavors to earn honest livelihood are willing to take risks much greater than they should be ‘permitted to take. In spite of the opposition of spoilsmen the movement toward local civil service reform has made steady progress. An un- fortunate weakness in the civil service law made it impossible for the President to bring the employes of the District govern- ment within the scope of the beneficent legislation which has, even in a compara- tively brief period, wrought so much of good. There was nothing, however, to prevent the District Commissioners from ordering that the principles of the civil service reform should be consistently ap- Plied within their jurisdiction and to that wise course they sometime ago committed themselves. Now they have joined hands with the civil service commission to such gn extent that hereafter the examinations for appointment or promotion will be con- ducted by the commission. This action on the part of the Commissioners is altogether praiseworthy, for it is only a short step to a specific congressional enactment which will render it imvossible for a spoils board of commissioners—should there ever be such—to overthrow what has been done. In its willingness to assist the District Commissioners, the civil service commis- sion has given additional evidence of its sincerity in the work of freeing the pub- Uc service from the clutches of the spoils politician, —_——_~ ++ —_—_ If baseball is to maintain its place as the national game it will have to be con- ducted on a higher plane than it is moving on this season. Every club in the league 4s, to a greater or less extent, engaged in trying to win games not by playing the best ball it can but by trying to bulldoze the umpires into deciding adversely to the umpires’ beliefs. Baseball has more en- thusfastic admirers than any other variety of athletic sport, and if it is fairly and squarely conducted it offers to those who make a business of it large financial re- compense. If for no other reason than a selfish one the mdgnates of the game should immediately have their employes understand that quibbling at the umpire’s decisions and hurling foul epithets at him and threatening him with physical violence will ‘result in serious trouble for the in- dividuals who indulge in such misbehavior. Patrons of baseball do not derive enjoy- ment from the wrangling and other im- proprieties now much too common on the diamond. > ‘That was an odd conceit of the New York Herald, to report a speech made by Theodore Roosevelt and to make the per- sonal proncun conspicuous by printing it in bold-face type. The oddity of the effort to minimize Mr. Roosevelt by attempting to convict him of egotism strikes with full force when it {s remembered that the rer- sonal pronoun fs used in the news columns of the Herald just as though one man wrote everything in the paper. —_—_ 0 __—_. There are some things to be -emembered to the credit of Holmes, the alleged muitl- murderer. He haen’t written a life of Na- poleon, for example, nor yet one of Joan of Are. —___ ¢ + —___ It 1s evidence of yastly-broadened minds that only a few Americans seem to regard as even remarkable the proposition to propel trains by electricity at a rate of something like one hundred and fifty miles an hour, Some time ago, when the Westinghouse Electric Company and the Baldwin Loco- motive Company endeavored to consolidate under one management, it was officially ‘announced that revolution of rapid-transit methods was contemplated. One of the oM- cers of the company said: “The combination is to develop the pos- sibilities of the Tesla motor as applied to the railway service. I intend to make {t possible to ride from New York to Pitts- burg in three hours. With the Tesla motor we are assured power to draw a car at the rate of 150 miles an hour or more. The only thing now is to get cars and car wheels that will stand the strain of travel- ing at that rate of speed. The Baldwin People assure us that this can be done.” Of this statement there has been general Receptance because we have become ac- customed to the doing of those things which only a few years ago seemed to be utterly impossible. The sanguine American of today is somewhat inclined to imagine that there is no such thing as a limit to human ingenuity; he is confident that aerial flight and submarine voyages will come in the near future just as easily as the tele- phone and the telautograph came; he has confidence that some of these days a scl- entist will discover the means by which human life may be lengthened and the American man’s capacity for work and for making money doubled or quadrupled. As to the ways and means which will enable one to travel from Washington to New York in less than an hour and a half, the people generally know rothing, but they are willing to believe that the feat can he aceomplished when it is promised by such @ combination of wealth and mechanical skill as the one which is now intent upon the creation of astonishirg speed in rail- road transportation. Temporary failure of the corporations named to adjust things to their liking will not seriously delay the projects already broached. ——— + «+ ____ Michael F. Dwyer, the well-known turf- man, has returned to this country after &n experimental and costly sojourn in Eu- rope. Mr. Dwyer went to England.in com- pany with Richard Croker five months ago for the purpose of getting hold of some of the American gold which Americans scatter so lavishly while touring in the old world. That his plans came to naught is something for which Mr. Dwyer cannot be held responsible; he did his level best to “reform” English racing ‘methods in his own interest, but his efforts were not ap- preciated by those whcm he endeavored to educate. Perhaps there was a combina- tion against the Dwyer-Croker outfit, but whether there was or was not, Mr. Dwyer announces that those people whom he imagined were an “easy mark” succeeded in getting away from him his entire string of horses save only one. Hereafter Mr. Dwyer will probably confine himself to money-making effort at home; he under- stands American methods and will doubt- less recoup within a little while the loases consequent vpon his trip to England. —_++-+_____ Any proposition likely to result in Im- provement of the postal service is deserv- ing of support; therefore The Star has commended most heartily the plan which would locally utilize street-car lines in or- der that there may be a greater number of collections and Geliveries at remote points of the District of Columbia. The plan has been thoroughly tested in other cities where the necessities were even greater than they are here, and has been in every sense satisfactory; there is therefo*e no reason why it should not work well in the District of Columbia. ————__+ + + ____ There is a great deal of third term dis- cussion being brought to the attention of the President and a good deal of supreme bench advice.

A Peculiar Fact. “Bliggins is still complaining about the business depression?” “Hasn’t he got work yet?” “No. Can’t find anything that suits him.” “That's the way it goes. The man that keeps talking about hard times is invari- ably looking for a soft thing.” Worne. - “Well,” said Farmer Corntossel, as & youth in knickerbockers passed him, “the bloomer gal is bad enough. But ez fur ez Icoks go, she’s got a heap more excuse than the bloomer young man.” Melancholy. ‘Tis an eternal mournful fact That justifies man’s blues; The things we get the most of are The things we cannot use. Out. “Did you say I was out?” asked the player. “You bet I did,” replied the umpire. “Well, I ain’t out!” “Yes, you are,” was-the serene rejoinder. “You are out just twenty-five dollars.” And then the game went on. “De man,” said Uncle Eben, “dat am de mos’ anxious foh fear folks am gwine ter miss sumpin’ whut he says ginerally libs ter be sorry he let ’em hyah a good deal ob iw” Affinities. No maid on earth so homely is That there is not somewhere, A youth, who, could he find her, would Pronounce her passing fair. And likewise, for each chumpish youth, The butt of idle mirth, There is a maid to vow he Is The smartest man on earth. ee What Chaucer Might Have Said.

Succinctly-Stated Trath. From the Palladelphla Press. According to some of the shopkeepers in Atlantic City, the future prosperity of that popular resort will be threatened if the Sunday laws are enforced. We do not be- lieve a word of such talk. If Atlantic City deperds for its success on open rum shops en Sunday and a general desecration of that day by shopkeepers and amusement venders, then it should be allowed to suffer. But there is no truth in such an assertion. People go to Atlantic City over Sunday to enjoy its cool climate and to bathe in the ccean and not to guzzle whisky or beer or attend theaters, etc. Those who go for that purpose should stay away. The resort would be much better off without them. ——_+ e+ ___ Not a Disintercsted Hooray.
