6 EVENING STAR. ) = ‘THE WASHINGTON. (WEDNESDAY............. {CROSBY 8. NOYE: /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. _ ©7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the offiee, simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. As to Our Colored Schools. Conscientious Investigation into the course of study in the public schools of Washing- ton for colored pupils can hardly result in any other conclusion than that there is real demand for extension of the industrial features and perhaps for a substitution of industrial for the more advanced scholas- tie work. It is therefore to be hoped that some such investigatory legislation as that Proposed yesterday by Senator McMillan will be € It must be apparent to any one who has ever given this important ject’ any consideration that an educa- n which 13 mainly scholastic and but in- cldentally industrial is not the kind of edu- jon most likely to benefit the thousands ©f colored boys and girls who annually leave our schools to engage in the struggle for independent existence. This unques- ‘d and unquestionable fact has not been sight of by the school authorities, for the board of school trusteees has for three Years past recommended the appropriation with wEich to construct two tildings to be devoted to manual training work; one building for white pupils, the ther for colored children. This estimate # has not had any opportunity to pass upon one of the most meritorious and prac- tical educational propositions ever submit- ted to a leg! ture. . nquestionably the fact that the tendency in most American cities is at this time toward what may not improperly he termed over-education; the inclination in the direction of le: rning w » to some extent valuable, is not likely to be worth ve much in the. ordin: ay scramble for a Uvelihood. This nfortunate tendency is not, however, so ident in Washington as it Is in many of other important centers of popuiation, nd yet there is more of !t here than a great ty of the people think there ought to be. With manual training in the grade schocls and with a highly successful Busi- s High School in satisfactory operation, ave taken a step in the right direc- but many changes will have taken we come anywhere near the y a. It is not saying too much to insist that a large percentage of those who graduate from the Colored High School are really no better off because of in that institution, for only those taings which es ept very vaguely and indirectly, be of any use to them along the lines of vor which must be ¢ Perhaps the ti these High S: Is h, nd energy voted by many hool pupils to the acquisi- of purel; holastic knowledge is wasted, or the reason that the in many cases be even remote op- portunity for making good use of the edu- cational refinement they have acquired. Provision should, of course, be made for the scholastic improvement of the compar- vely few who desire what may for these purposes be termed the higher education, but that extremely small percentage should not be favored at the cost of the many; there should be ample provision for the more practical Instruction of the multl- tude, which, under the present system, is be rill not ng taught a great deal It doesnot need, ard recetves almost nothing of the variety of education for which it is hungry. is no necessity for the appoint- ment of a special commission to consider this matter. The board of school trustees te of doing all the inve ing that may be necessary, and, inas- much as it has already placed itself on record as wholly favorable to extension of the manual training idea, It may be de- pe upon to do everything in its power to further the cause of practical education in the District of Columbia. —__~e= Broaden the Civil Service Law. ‘That the House Committee on Reform in the Civil Service will do otherwise than re- port favorably on the bill which has for its object the extension of the civil service law, 80 that it shall include the municipal government of the District and the offices of the Recorder of Deeds and the Register of Wills, is most improbable. No adverse reason that has even the appearance of soundness can be advanced by those who inay feel inclined to oppose the measure, for the experience of the general govern- ment with the law which the Diistrict Com- missioners now seek to have broadened has resulted in the accumulation of testimony which cannot be overthrown even by the combined efforts of cunning advocates of the spoils system. The committee yester- day gave hearing the District Commis- sioners, to President Edson, Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith and Mr. Siddons of the Civil “service Reform Association, to President Woodward of the Washington Board of Trade, President Procter of the Civil.Serv- ice Commission, ex-Commissioner Lyman and Mr. Edwin Willits, ex-Assistant Sec- retary of Agriculture. Argument was, of course, all on one side of the question, but that of if was evidence of the rapidity with which the civil service reform move- ment has advanced; a few years ago the spoilsmen would have been present in great force and would have enjoyed the sympa- thetic support of any congressional com- mittee. No city fm the country is more thoroughly devoted to.the cause of civil service reform than {s the national capital; not that it has had any such experiences as have been common to New York and Phila- delphia and Chicago, but because it has seen how admirably the civil service idea works when ft Is given a chance. Con- ress will be forgiven for leaving undone some of the things which this community would like to see done if it will pass this civil service extension bill. ——_+++___ Russell Sage characterizes the proposition to establish a three-cent street-railway fare as “confiscation.” But if harsh terms counted for anything, Mr. Sage would long since have experienced unpleasant effects from the comments of people who objected to his transactions. —__+ e+ ____ Only one hundred and thirty-one men were at work on the new city post-office building today, say those who are in charge of the construction. The inflammable roof is still there. ——_ += __ Is War a Necessity? When Utah's representatives were plead- ing for statehood they invariably insisted that it was the only thing reeded to make that interesting and pictureque subdivision of the republic the most desirable of earth- ly places of abode. Consequent upon state- hood would come all manner of millennial conditions; Mormons and gentiles would be- come bosom friends, the mountains clap their hands for joy, the crystal streams sing anthems of praise, the lion and the Jamb Ue down together without damage to the lamb, and the nations of earth learn war no more. But, as so many rural debat- ing societies have recently decided, the Pleasures of anticipation must have ex- ‘| ever ready to relieve any form of distress. THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. ceeded the pleasures of realization, for the Tighly estegmed Salt Lake Tribune, notwith- standing Utah's statehood has been achieved, has no confidence whatever in international arbitration. The Tribune is a believer, of course, in the doctrines which are accepted by those who will meet here this week to do what they can to abolish war with all its attendant horrors, and it is anxious that an amicable agreement may be reached by Great Britain and the United States, but it is quite despondent. Says the Tribune: “Sull we do not believe that the time is ripe for the change, because the world is not yet, we fear, ready for it. We fear it will not yet succeed because the rule of love and perfect justice has not come to ary nation. The metallic age is upon the world. In gr3at measure machinery is crowding from employment poor men. The orm of steel usurps the work of the arm of flesh; the eagles and hawks among men are drawing to their eyries the world’s wealth, and the birds that have no beaks and talons go to their defenseless nests supperless. The world is being run by intellect; the hearts of men are becoming shriveled in their breasts; and while this continues, a war sometimes, despite its wrongs and sac- rifices, is necessary to clear the atmosphere and to rouse into action a nation’s latent patriotism and sense of right, and to drive away the evil thoughts which come with scre and unjustifiable sufferings. Moreover, there are still vast areas of the earth where intolerable wrongs have been suf- fered for years and ages, and such lands can only be cleansed by a mighty blood atonement.” Things must be going wrong in Utah or the trumpet of the Gentiles would not give forth such sanguinary sounds. The ogre of Mormonism may be stretching himself pre- paratory to engaging in another encounter with the adversary who thought he had the giant downed forever. ——_++-____ Baron Maurice de Hirsch. A wonderful career was that which came to a close when Baron Hirsch, the great Hebrew philanthropist, was called to his reward. Confining his liberality almost ex- clusively to the Jewish people, he must, nevertheless, be given rank as one of the Sreatest, if not the greatest, of those nine- teenth century characters who have done what they could to ameliorate the suffer- ings of those who through no fault of their own were the victims of distressing condi- tions. In the face of tremendous oppos tion—for anti-Jewish sentiment was a power in every European country, and still is so in some nations that deem themselves great— Baron Hirsch planned and put into execu- tion schemes of benevolence so vast as to overshadow all similar enterprises. At this time there does not appear to be any re- Mable estimate of the immense amount of money expended by him in his absolutely unselfish endeavors to better the comdition of thousands of his fellow beings. He was He poured out millions in order that the ignorant might receive such practical edu- cation as they were most in need of, and his haud was never withheld when by the purchase of land and the mechanism by which it could be made valuable it was possible to establish colonies.” The name of Maurice de Hirsch will long be honored by appreciative mankind. ——~ +> ____ Paderewski's donation of ten thousand dollars for the encouragement of American musicians will cause him to be kindly re- membered by the artistic public. He would earn still more gratitude by doing some- thing to discourage the American song- writer. ———_+ +e ___ Lieutenant Peary’s proposition to discover the North Pole for two hundred thousand dollars might meet with more consideration {gt he would explain just what we are to do with it after we get it. The fact that ex-Governor Russell is a yourg man seems to move some people to ergue that even if he gets no more out of the democratic nomination than the ex- perience it will do him good. —— + e+ ____ Mr. Reed's occupancy of the speaker's chair this session has demonstrated that the lot of the umpire is not, of necessity, so turbulently conspicuous as it has been Gepicted. ——_+ + ___ The depression which the Raines law may have cavsed in New York's saloon enter- prises seems to be counterbalanced by an unprecedented activity in the hotel busi- ness. ——_ + —____ If affairs in South Africa continue to complicate themselves Ergland will pres- ently have to be reminded that there ever was such a thing as the Schomburgk line. —_ + + ____ The Massachusetts democrats think that Grover Cleveland is so great and good a man that he can afford to rest on his laurels. Brutal. “Did my singing disturb you yesterday said the musical young woman. “Were you singing?” asked the impolite boarder. Why, of course. Didn't you hear me?” “I believe it was your voice I heard.

It is so frivolous and insincere.”’ “Ot course. And there's no reason why a map shouldn’t make one engagement ring go all the way around, if he only takes his time.” A Successful Evasion. The young man had accompanied the colored young woman to the shoe store, vbere she desired to make a purchase. “What number of shoes do you wear?” the salesman inquired. She glanced at the young man appre- hensively. He was so near that he could not fail to hear her answer. Then she said to the clerk: “Dat sour’s like er foolish question ter ut it isn't, I assure you.” “Well, den, ef you gotter hab an answer, de number ob shoes I wah is two, same ez anybody else.
