THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.........0ctober 30, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES..... .Editor. UE EVENING STAR has ao regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of ti other dailies. As a News Medium it has no competitor. - In order to avoid delays, om ac- eount of personal absence, THE STAR should not be a the Editorial or Business Depart- te, according to tenor or purpose. - —— A Civil Pension List. Ccngress should be able to find a little time next session to take under serious considera- tion Pension Commissioner Lochren’s recom- mendation that some moderate provision be made to ald the olerks disabled by long and faithful service-and who are discharged when they cannot further perform their work. There is no more disabling service for men of intelligence than that of the government and none which requires higher alifications of capecity and Integrity. The average ability of government clerks is ex- ceptionally high, and the government gets @ great return ia conscientious and faithful performance of duty. While there may be Some serious objecticns to a gener2l civil Pension list that would include all of the ‘many thousands of employes, yet there is every reason why the government should to a considerable extent afford relief to its oldest and most faithful servants. Of course the privilege could not be confined to any Single office or bureau of the government, but the experiment should be tried in a lim- ited way by so restricting the list as to place @ comparatively smalt number under its operations. The readiest limitation and Probably the most just ia that of age or length of service. A man who, at the age of seventy years, has long been a faithful, conscientious clerk in any department of the government ts surely entitled to very much the same recognition as ihe officer of the army or navy who, in time of peace, is re- tired at the age of sixty-two or sixty-four years. Beyonl seventy years no man can be expected to do credt to himself or to his employers in any capacity, especially cne that makes heavy demands upon iis mind. ‘Twenty years of continuous service in gov- employ wil) unfit any man, how- ever ruggedly constituted In brain or body, for any other form of profitable employ nent, and the English government long ago fcund that it is economy to abandon he praczice of squeezing its civil servants dry and then in thelr deciining years turn zhem loose without means and without prospec‘s. —____+ « ——__ Undoing a Good Work. There may be some good reason why the indictments found against New York's cor- rupt police officers should be dismissed now, after the time and money spent in uncover- ing their wrong-doing, but no excuse is forthcoming as yet to explain why the cases against four of them were dropped the other day. The investigation that led to the accusation and indictment of these men was very costly. It served a splendid pur- pose and accomplished immediate results for the lasting benefit, it is hoped, of America’s greatest city, but its value should not now be put in serious question by any action that indicates that the disclosures were made only for political purposes, and that when they were accomplished the whole case might gradually be allowed to slide into oblivion. If these three men who have just been relieved of the charges against them—ex-Captains Doherty and Donohue and ex-Sergeant McKenna—were innocent, they should never have been in- dicted, and their release now shows that the investigation spurred the grand juries on to unwarranted lengths of zeal. But that is improbable, especially as the testi- mony was streng against these men. It is more likely that the indictments were quashed because, in the opinion of the judge and district attorney, the public has been amply served by the prosecutions al- ready had, and that the lesson of the Lex- ow inquiry had been finished. Such a no- tion is false and vicious, and illustrates only too well the dangerous judicial system under which New York has suffered all these years. The lesson of that great prob- ing into the scandals of the metropolis will mever be thoroughly taught until every man justly accused of wrong-doing has been brought to trial and punished. Until then there can be little or no faith in the lasting results of the investigation. 3 Has Salisbury Been Tipped? ‘The prevailing opinion seems to be that the forthcoming reply of Lord Salisbury to the note of Secretary Olney will evade the real issue rather than declare positively against the aptness of the Monroe doctrine in the present dispute. If this be true it would appear that the British premier has profited by the strong wave of national public sentiment that has swept across this country from shore to shore, and that has been felt in London. The English jcurnals are today reflecting this sentiment, show- ing that they are beginning to realize that the spirit of 1776 is still abroad here. The Nicaraguan case and the part taken by Great Britain in the Bering Sea dispute haye tended to promote the anti-English sentiment in America, and the present op- Portunity for a manly declaration of prin- ciples will not be allowed to slip by without acceptance if the people of the republic have the decision. Lord Salisbury would make a grave error if he should bluntly deny the jurisdiction of the United States in the case of the Venezuela boundary. The English trick, which was evidently in- tended to confuse this case with that of the Corinto dispute, has been thoroughly exposed, and the administration, according to the best belief, stands ready to assert the right and duty of the United States to Plant itself unmistakably upon the line of the Monroe doctrine. ————_+ += __. Jury-fixing ts a dangerous crime, deserving of severe punishment. To tam: with the men who are sworn to give a fair and im- Partial verdict on tne case before them is to strike a heavy blow at the entire system and shake public faith in its efficacy. The latest local case affords pienty of opportun- ity for the authorities to provide an ex: ample that will serve as a warning and a Jesson, Wita good results for the future. —_—_— Chicago's mayor has moved to discourage the slumming parties who so frequently apply for police escort. When the enthus- jasm in such pursuits gives rise to a “slum- ming costume,” as it is said to have done in New York, there is little doubt that there ig more fad than philanthropy in the ex- eursions. —_+ + e_____ There were but sixty-five men at work Bn the post office building today. —+ = ______ Bucket-Shop Gambling. After a long term of security from police interference caused by a doubt as to the right to apply the law against gambling im the District, the bucket-shops are ap- parently now about to be thoroughly over- hauled. In a few days a test case will @ome before the Police Court under the law which makes the maintenance of any gembling device a misdemanor. The Star trusts that, in the interest of public mo- Pallty, this law will be held to apply to 6uch establishments. The law has worked Well in driving pool-rooms and gambling dens out of the District, and in making Policy-writing almost a lost art in this community. That it justly applies to the bucket-shop, with its paraphernalia for unadulterated gambling, there can be rea- sonable doubt. The bucket-shop is dis- tinct in methods and purposes from the le- gitimate stock-broker’s establishment, and it has no more earnest enemies than the regular operators and proprietors who do @ straight business and who realize that the ill fame of the bucket-shop, with its miscellaneous patronage and questionable methcds, injures them in the esteem of the Public. If permitted to flovrish without interference the bucket-shop may easily develop to the extent of taking the place of the pool-room and the faro bank. The object of the law in question is to render gambling so difficult and dangerous that it will be reduced to a minimum, altMough it cannot be hoped that this evil will ever be wholly eradicated. If, however, the va- rious means of playing games of chance at every other street corner, in every sa- locn, or in the back rooms of cigar stores, most readily accessible to every young man in town, are gradually removed a great deal will be gained. —_——_0<+____— Negative Politics. Governor Altgeld’s announcement that he is not a candidate for the Senate gives new point to a curious state of affairs that has been recently developing. His reasons for declining the alleged honor of such a can- didacy are sufficient for all men, of what- ever shade of opinion, and show that he Is a statesman of the same sensible stamp as the present Senator, General Palmer, and the ex-Postmaster General, Mr. Dickinson, It was only last week that both of these states- men refused high honors, the former de- ciding to retire from the Senate at the ex- piration of his present term, and the latter succeeding after a bitter fight in defeating himself for the nomination to be mayor of Detroit on the democratic ticket. And the same prudential motives actuated all of them. In the case of Messrs. Altgeld and Palmer it is a moral certainty that the next Senator from Illinois will be a republican, thanks to the hold-over system in the state legislature, and both are at present laboring under the present disadvantage of belong- ing to the opposite party. Nor did Mr, Dick- inson relish the prospect of an unsuccessful campaign and so he used every effort to choke his popularity at such a momentous crisis. The new rule in politics as in some forms of warfare seems to be that “he who fights and runs away will live to fight some other day.” Perhaps an era of negative politics is being inaugurated. —-+2____ Mr, Pingree ts acquiring an enthusiastic and increasing following of friends who aver that on an occasion he can raise votes as easily as potatoes. —__+++____ Bossism 1s very hard to down, but so is the sentiment against it.

His Plaint. “There is not very much originality in your new novel,” said Twaddington’s friend. “No,” wis the melancholy reply. “My publishers marked all the original things in the manuscript with a blue pencil and said they were the worst things In the book and would have to be omitted.” Wise, Indeed. “Bunkins, I guess, is about the smartest man of his years in this community,” said the citizen who observes. “Knows a great deal, does he?” “Knows a great deal? I should say so. Why, sir, that man knows almost as much as his nineteen-year-old daughter who is in the high-school.” Oh, pause, Columbia, and behold the dizzy pace we strike, The girls have seized the bloomer and have tamed the bounding bike, While men about convention halls are clustering, thick as bees, To chatter—as girls used to do at musi- cales and teas. Too Much. “Chawles,” sald Willie Wishington to his friend, “I'll have to give it up, don’t you know. I’m defeated, and that’s all theah is to it. “What's the matter?” “Pwince of Wales is learning to wide a bicycle.” “Well, you can ride a wheel, can't you?’ “Y-a-a-s. But think of having to fall off everwy time he does!” An Empty Sentiment. “I wish,” said the man who Indulges premiscuously in sentiment, “that I could be a boy again.” “And have to do your daily duties whether you felt like it or not?’ inquired his practical friend. yes.” “And have to ask permission every time you go out at night?” “Of course. Think of the freedom from responsibility; the—" “De you think you'd enjoy being told to your face that you should be seen and not heard?” “No, I can’t say that I would.” “Or being licked every time you were’ caught in a prevarication and compelled to go to bed because somebody else thinks you are sleepy” “Of course not. I-er-you. see—it doesn't do to take anything in this life too liter- ally. I was just quoting poetry, you know.” Under No Other Circumstances. If we could stop that mighty clock, ‘The universe, whose circling spheres, With orbits vast that lace and lock, To count the passing of the years, These erstwhile sinners who appear In new-born righteousness today, Would not backslide in ways so queer, When we have passed election day. —_ +02 -- Ineffectual Sympathy. From the Omaha Bee. Denver has finally been carried away by the Cuban fever which manifests itself in the form of public meetings to express sympathy with the Cuban insurgents. Omaha jas thus far escaped the infection. But so long as resolutions will not achieve the independence of Cuba the Cuban pa- triots will perhaps excuse the oversight. A Bird in Hand. From Life. The one safe rule for the guidance of such of the voters of New York as desire good municipal government is to vote in the approaching election to beat Tammany. To defeat Tammany again will be a victory for reform government. To let Tammany win will be a setback to reform govern- ment. ——__ + +_ Sordid. From the Chicago Daily News.

Barry, who has general charge of the advertising contracts of the Chicago Newspaper Union, is compelled to pass a large portion of his time- in journeying to and fro in the interests he represents. Speaking of Ripans Tabules, Mr. Barry says that he has carried them with him in his satchel on all his trips, since he first became acquainted with their excellent qualities. He uses four or five a week, being always particular to take one after a hearty or, more especially, after a hasty meal. He never requires more than one.
