6 THE EVENING STAR. ASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY. .October 30, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor, THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any ividual connected with the effice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, 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 recor mendation that some moderate provision be made to aid the clerks disabled by long and faithful service and who are discharged when they cannot further perform their work. There is ro more disabling service for men of intelligence than that of the government and none which requires higher qualifications of capacity and integrity. The gyerage ability of government clerks is ex- ceptionally high, end the government gets a great return in conscientious and faithful performance of duty. While there may be some serious objecticns to a gener. 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 cculd not be confined to any single office or bureau of the zgove:nment, but the experiment should be tried in a lim- ited way by so restricting the list as to place @ comparatively small number under its operations. The readiest limitation and probably the most just is 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 fs surely entitled to very much the same recognition as the officer of the army or navy who, in time of peace, is re- tired at the age of sixty-two or sixcy-four years. Beyond seventy years no man can be expected to do credt to himself or to his employers in any capacity, especially one that makes heavy demands upon iis mind. Twenty years of continuous service in gov- ernment employ will unfit any man, kow- ever ruggedly constituted in brain or body, for any other form of profitable employ-nent, and the English government long ago feund that it is economy to abandon he pracczice of squeezing its civil servants dry and then in their declining years turn <hem loose without ineans and without prospec*s. + 0-= —___ 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 thelr 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 strong 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 never 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. -+3e oe —_ Has Saligbury 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 premler 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 journals 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 have tended to promote the anti-English sentiment in America, and the present cp- 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 bellef, stands ready to assert the right and duty of the United States to Plant Itself unmistakably upon the line of the Monroe doctrine, ———++2+____ Jury-fxing is a dangerous crime, deserving of severe punishment.

When the enthus- jasm in suck pursuits gives rise to a “slum- ming costume,” as it is said to have done in New York, there is little doubt that there is more fad than philanthropy in the ex- cursions. ————___~+ «+ There were but sixty-five men at work @n the post office building today. ——__ +02 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 in the District, the bucket-shops are ap- perently now about to be thoroughly over- hauled. In a few days a test case will come before the Poltee Court under the law which makes the maintenance of any gambling device a misdemanor. The Star trusts that, in the interest of public mo- rality, this law will be held to apply to such 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 THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES. 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 a 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 flourish 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, although it cannot be honed that this evil will ever be wholly eradicated. If, however, the va- tious 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. ———_+ oe = ____ 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 le- 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 stace 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 campa‘gn 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. ————_~e— 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.

His Plaint. “There is not very much originality in your new novel,” said Twaddington's friend. “No,” ws 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.” A Transformation. 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,” said 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 ithe 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. “Ye-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.

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. Mr. Barry does not remember how he was first induced to make trial of Ripans Tabules, but now he buys them of the nearest druggist whenever his supply is exhausted. “They are specially convenient,” Mr. Barry says, “and a mighty nice thing—just what a man needs when traveling, if he needs a medicine at all.” PPOPV IP IOS I LEIA DEIY POOLOVOPESE ESSE ES SPY | Figems ‘Tabules are sold a by ar ing or by mafl If tle price (0 cents a box to the Chemical ay.
