The ke It must be kept at is freat one home, and there is but one wish all over the country t and that is that the boat will win. e is apparently no diminution of the al interest in the races this season. ed, it would seem as though there was Irore excitement over the events than ever. This year the American syndicate have bvilt a magnificent boat that is met with the latest production of English genius, aided by certain ideas adopted, after years or defeat, from the western shores of the Atlantic. In the light of the past, the pending contests seem likely to be the most gallantiy fought of all the races of late years. The boats are more nearly alike. and the two nations, so far as yachting is concerned, are more nearly than ever on ar. equal plane. These races are giving a tremendotis stimulus all over this country to good, honest, healthy sport. Yachting by gentlemen, for modest tro- phies, free from the taint of professional- ism or gambling, can indeed be called the most glorious of sports. Great credit is due to the enthusiastic young men of .wealtn who haye given of their time and means for the production of defenders of the cup, and whether the victory lies with Valkyrie er Defender these men will be honored by their countrymen. Lord Dunraven, too, has proved himself to be a sportsman of the finest type, and a most honorable competi- tor. He and his American antagonists have done much towards elevating International Yachting to the very highest plane. - Shorten the Campaigns. There seems to be a definite movement among the politicians toward a much- neeced reform that has for its object the shortening of the presidential campaigns that quadrenially effect almost a paralysis of the business of the country. This, of course. can only be done by the postpone- tent of the nominating conventions from May or June until August, or, preferably, until September. To be sure, there is more cr less commercial unrest in the months immediately preceding the convention, but the olute reign of politics does not be- gin until the candidates have been named and the issues have been defined by the platforms. It was necessary thirty years or more ago to prolong the contests over a period of three or fcur months, and some- times longer, In order to Insure a perfect spread of intelligence regarding the nature of the issues and the character of the can- didates among all the people of the na- tion, scattered as they were over an im- Mense territory, as yet poorly equipped with means of transportation and com- munication. But the great growth of the railroad and telegraph system, and, best of all, the wonderful progress of the Ameri- have eliminated these condition: and the America of today is no more diffi- cult to canvass as a whole than any one of the states. The campaigns in such states as New York and Pennsylvania are being rhortened each time that there Is an elec- tion, and it is wholly useless to spend months in foolish reiteration of charges and counter-charges, denials and explana- tiors, when the minds of the people are doubtless made up on the subject of prefer- ence for candidates almost immediately after the conventions. One factor that will probably cause a reduction of the cam- paign season before a new century is reached is the tremendous and ever-grow- ing expense, which is furnishing too much ef a factor for corrupt practices and too menace to the purity of American 's. Mutual agreement by the great al parties to hold the conventions in September would be of more practical value to the country at large than the ful- fillment of all the campaign promises ever made by aspiring candidates. -—___+ e+______ Bloomers vs. Petticoats. Miss Martha M. Gurnee fs today a living protest and argument against the bloomers as a business costume for women. Miss Gurnee is station agent at Mt. Ivy on the New Jer: and New York railroad and the other day saved a passenger train from wreck by using her petticoat as a signal flag. The station caught fire and burned to the ground, covering the track alongside with wreckage sufficient to have derailed the train. Just before the time for the arrival of the train Miss Gurnee realized that all her signal flags had been destroyed with the station, but being a woman of expedients she quickly slipped off her petti- coat and her small brother ran up the track and succeeded, by wildly waving the garment In the air, in attracting the engi- neer’s attention and bringing the train to a halt before the place of danger was reached. The reasoning !s strong and un- answerable that Miss Gurnee could not have accomplished the feat of saving the train in this manner had she been a new Woman of the bloomer variety. ————~ e+ ____ It must be rather difficult for some of the eminent statesmen in this country to keep tab on the presidential nomination engagements which are being made for them by their friends and admirers. +02 Emperor William's ideas as to the re- strictions which should be placed on news- papers are so unreasonable that they would hardly be indorsed even by a District Com- missioner. ——__+ 0+ ____ The way in which Chicago has watered stock on numerous occasions is bad enough with stealing the water to do it. ———_ + = Settle the Maiter at Once. As The Star has repeatedly pointed out there is now no obstacle © prevent the Commissioners from bringing about an im- mediate and satisfactory termination of the uggle between the public and the Eck- ton rail They can cut down the illegal trolley poles, unrestrained by the court, or they can by daily prosecutions, cf the kind sustained by Judge Cole, or per- haps by the serious threat of such prose- cutions, quickly force the company to remove the poles, and to fulfill the pledges of satisfactory rapid transit made by President wbold. The lat- ter official has stated that the company has the disposition and the ready financial means to put in at once an improved motor other than the trolley, and {it has been intimated that the underground elec- tric is the contemplated system and that negotiations are already under way in re- spect to its installation. The people of Washington reasonably insist, however, on something more definite and binding than words. They expect to see the work of constructing the underground system contracted for and quickly un- der way, and they want the poles removed and horses temporarily used on New York avenue, in the absence of any satisfactory justification of even a tem- perary toleration of the poles. The Com- mers should act speedily and ener- and they cannot fail to act ef- for the victory has been won for Prosecutions of the road . one of which was in- as noted in The Star, ur the Commissioners to | take up the matter ia st, as urged repeatedly by The Star, they can brig the company to terms in a single da = oe Hard Lines for Fugitives. ‘The capture of Kilioran, Russell and 2 len, the post-office robbers who broke § in New York the Fourth of Juty, which was ed from St. Louis, and the discover esota of Dr. George Kansas man whose heirs have drawn a i: eum of insurance belie’ how stitu glance at the map.

It fs very hard for a detected wrong-doer to es. cape, as the e places in which a man can absolutely hide himself and yet sur- vive are tuday exceedingly few in num and dificult of access to the fugitive as well as to his pursuers.

Frauds in Adminisicring the Law. It is one thing to secure a wisely-framed civil service law applicable to all the ap- propriate departments of the government, and it is quite another thing to insure its honest and effective administration. Until human nature shall be changed by some miracle there will always be the possibil of including among the factors of the great machine made necessary by such a statute some ind!viduals whose fidelity to the serv- ice is overshadowed by a desire for gain or for the acquirement 6f political pre: . ‘The most honest commissioners in the world will always have to contend more or less with this evil, and the present com- mission is giving good earnest of its inten- tion to cOmpel a decent administration of the law by its action in the recently-dis- covered case at Erie, Pennsylvania it is alleged, the secretary of the local ex- amining board furnished an incompetent 2pplicant for a pasition with the questions that were to be asked him, thus enabling him to secure outside aid prior to the ex- amination and to make an extraordinarily high percentage. The secretary of the local biard has been discharged and is subject to fine and imprisonment, but the national commission seems now disposed to be some- what lenient. The severe handling of this case might be of great benefit to the service. To make an example of the wrong-doer at Erie might go far toward deterring other evasions or violations of the law elsewhere. The civil service law is too good a thing to be spoiled by dishonesty. be ten that wholly es rez ——_ + ee ___. Major Knight's Transfer. Majer Knight of the Engineer Corps has been long enough in charge of the Wash- ington Aqueduct to demonstrate his entire fitness for that duty, and it is unfortunate for Washington that own merits now Warrant and the exigencies of the service demand kis transfer to Willett’s Point. From Major Knight's point of view, of course, the change is a desirable one, as it gives him work that will perhaps be more congenial, and as it indicates a recognition of his ability by the chief of engineers. The Washington Aqueduct may not be compared as a fleld for progressive scien- tifle work from which a man can make a reputation with the school of instruction at Willett’s Point, and nobody will be disposed to blame Major Knight if he should show a preference for the latter. Yet the matter of supplying such a great city as Wash- ington with water is by no means a trifling problem, and is worthy of the application of the best minds. It is fortunate that the city will g2t the benefit of Major Knight's judgment in the matter of the test of the long-useless aqueduct tunnel, which he will complete befere leaving this station, What- ever his recommendations, it is safe to say that they will command the confidence of a majority of the people of the District, as they will certainly be based upon the best of information derived from actual ob- servation, —- +2 _____ It will be seen from the annual report of the inspector of gas and meters that there is more or less of truth in the gen- eral supposition that gas meters give the company the benefit of doubt in the mat- ter of measuring the illuminating material. Out cf 2,713 meters inspected, 249 regis- tered fast, or in favor of the company, against 61 that registered slow, against the company. The inspector examined 580 meters that were complained of by con- sumers and of this number 238 registered fast and 59 registered slow. While these figures show that there is no great per- centage of faulty meters, yet the bulk of the error is In the interest of the com- pany, and this shows that there fs always a need of strict and rigid inspection such as it Is probable the present administra- tion of the local office assures. ——_—_—__-+____.

Con- troller Bowler of the Treasury Department promulgated his decision in the now cele- brated sugar bounty decisions. He holds that as controller he has jurisdiction to pass upon the claims for sugar bounties and also holds that that part of the act of Congress making an appropriation for the payment of sugar bounty claims is unconstitutional.

The rifle team representing the District National Guard at Sea Girt, N.
