6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY...............Jume 20, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning published in Washin; Medium it has ne competitor. (Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of perso: ual connected with the ly to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = THE STAR BY MAIL. Persons leaving the city for any period can have The Star mailed to them to any address in the United States or Canada, by ordering it at this office, In person or oy letter, or postal card. Terms: 13 cents per week; 25 cents for two weeks, or 50 cents per month. Invariably in ad- vance. Subscribers changing their address from one Post-office to another should give the last address as well as the new one. Change No Longer Dreaded. There was a time—and not so long ago— when the business men of this city dreaded the coming of a presidential campaign. They had every reason for concern, A change of administration—even when one republican succeeded another in the presi- dency—meant the removal of a large per- centage of government employes in order that salaries might be paid to those who had labored hard to bring about the change. This was most demoralizing, for —all civil service arguments aside—it prompted those who were in office to save every dollar they possibly could, which re- sulted in hard times for the merchants, and to refrain from buying homes which might soon have to be abandoned, which resulted in a transient, nomadic popula- tion, lacking local interest and public spirit. With inauguration day came the horde of office-seekers, most of them as poor in this world’s goods as they were rich in hope. Within two or three months there would be thousands of dismissals and appoint- ments, and then trade conditions were worse than ever; the dismissed ones fre- quently neglected, or were unable, to pay their just debts; the new appointees, being out of funds, demanded credit. Hundreds of comfortable homes were quadrennially thrown upon the market at disturbing forced-sale prices, and in all the lines of trade there was consequent uncertainty and frequent disaster. Now the conditions have been completely changed. Presidents may come and go, parties may rise and fall, but the great maas of the employes of the United States continue to serve the government so long as the service they render is satisfactory. Reasonably assured of life-tenure, the meritorious clerks and mechanics and watchmen have settled down to comfort- able existence and are contributing steadily to the growth of the national capital. The incoming of a new President means to them little more than the appointment of a new head of a department; their work pro- ceeds without the interrupting influences of the spoilsman. The general government gains more than does the District of Co- lumbia by this better method; it comes nearer to getting its money's worth of ser- vice than at any previous stage of its nis- tory. ——_+ -+__. Slanderous Prophesy. How thankful the American people should be that although the day of miracles is away to the rear and out of sight they still have the prophet who can rend the veil that would ordinarily hide the future. ‘There are several cf these seers., Not even in times of deepest national depression is the prophetic force diminished, although there does not appear to be any real demand for gloomy forebolings of deeper €epths of woe from those who are in the Presaging business. The campaign oracle 1s once more beginning to be in evidence. The noises of the St. Louis convention aroused him and now we shall hear his strident tones tntil the election is over and the period of hibernation. comes again. The Chicago Chrotiicle seems to be satistied that McKinley will be elected, but It pre- dicts all mariner of awful conditions if sthere is a@° republican’ victory. It says— does this lakeside Jeremiah=that “if Mc- Kinley shall be elected President his four years’ term of office will present an ex- ample of misgovernment without a parallel in past history. * * * It will be a period of misrule and riot for the schemes and conspiracies by which the Treasury is rebbed or by which the people are defrauded and oppressed. Popular institutions, a sys- tem of free government through a pure ballot box, will be tested to their utmost capacity.” All of which is very absurd: as is much of partisan prophesy. ‘The Star is not a political or personal organ—its spectal thought and effort are directed toward the continual betterment of the District of Columbia, to which good govern- ment contributes most liberaliy—yet it does not hesitate to take issue with this baseless Prophecy. The moral and political clean- liness of McKinley cannot be denied. ——_—_+-s____ British newspapers have already started in to help McKinley. The Westminster Gazette, discussing the republican platform, says that “the protection policy, to which the party is committed, will doubtless be as injurious to our trade as before.” That guess will probably turn out to be correct in every particular. Dwellers in the United States will, however, be comforted by a well-founded idea that if British industries languish our own will surely flourish. That sounds selfish, but there is plenty of human nature in it. ——_+e-+____ J. Pierpont Morgan claims that his readi- ness to purchase the bopds restored con- fidence. The profit he took in the transac- tion is presumably justified on the theory that a country ought not to expect to have confidence restored without paying for it. ———_-+~+++— Two hundred and twenty men toiled to- day on the new city post-office building; the structure that is promised us in all its completeness by 1397. —__-+-+____ Governor Bradley gave a very consistent performance as a dark horse. —_—__~e-=+__ Mark Hanna, Chairman. ‘The election of Mark A. Hanna to be chairman of the republican national com- mittee was, all things considered, an act of wisdom. It insures to the party the ser- vices of a very capable man of affairs, and at the same time brings the candidate and the committee into the closest possible re- lations. Mutual confidence and harmony are great factors in a national campaign, and surely, with Mr. McKinley as the can- didate and Mr. Hanna as the seneral in charge of the forces, the republican battle ought not to lack either for skill in design or force in execution. There was for a time a doubt as to whether in the existing circumstances Mr. Hanna was to be preferred above the other availables for this place. There was the suggestion that a man of older fame and of @ wider acquaintance among public men would fill it better. But Mr. Hanna's per- formances at St. Louis settled the question completely. His easy mastery of that dim- cult situation—the way in which he steered THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, :JUNE. 20, 1896—TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, clear of this entanglement. and that, fencing with leaders of admitted prowess— all stamped him as a manager of the first class and entitled to the important assign- ment he has received. Probably nabody now will dissent from this. Even those ex- cited individuals who from their suc perches in the convention city entertained the country for a few days with graphic acounts of how first Mr. Platt and then Mr. Lodge had Mr. Hanna humbled to the dust and begging for mercy, ought to be willing to admit now that they spoke hurriedly and without sufficient advisement. As The Star noted at the time, Mr. Hanna started well, and he managed to keep up his “lick” to the end. He undoubtedly knows his business. And the word “business” will mean some- thing this year. Business is involved on every hand. The questions are business questions—currency and the tariff. Busi- ness men are likely to take a more active interest in politics for the next four months than ever before in the country’s history. They consider—and very properly—that everything is at stake, and they know that unless they organize and exert themselves the battle will go against them. How well Mr. Hanna as chairman will suit these men may easily be inferrred from the fact that he is a business man himself. His ac- quaintance in business circles is very wide, and it ought to stand him well in hand in the campaign. He does not claim to be a Politician. He is not posing as a heaven- sent wonder for the purpose of exhibiting “fine work” to men, but asks consideration only as a plain man of affairs who believes in organization and hard work, dnd in the pecple. The election of Mr. Hanna would appear to confirm the statement that the repub- licans intend to transact a good deal of their business from Chicago. Illinois, In- diana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin will offer hot battle, and this territory may best be commanded from the windy city: And with that territory Mr. Hanna ought to be familiar. He has investments in several of the states, and from his residence in Cleve- land has had opportunity to study their conditions thoroughly. But, in the nature of things, New York and Washington will remain tmportant in the calculations. Mr. Hobart’s nomination is In recognition of the country on this side of the Alleghanies, and « vigorous fight <0 control it is certain to be made, and not improbably, it is thought, under Mr. Ho- bart's personal advice and direction. He, like Mr. Hanna, is a business man, and is in touch with the business interests of New York as well as with those of his own state. Parade for the Endeavorers. It is hoped by the many Washingtonians who are really interested In the Christian Endeavor convention that those wheelmen who are fractically in charge of the prop- osition to organize a monster parade of bicyclists will not insist upon postponing the event until after the departure from the city of the great majority of the dele- gates and other visitors. The tendency to delay was evident at last night's meeting of the L. A. W. committee, but there was no reasqnable argument advanced in its behalf. A bicycle parade in honor of the Society of Christian Endeavor would ut- tract to the ranks a large number of riders who would merely be spectators should it be decided to hive dn objectless procession. It is understood by the local convention authorities that the bulk of the convention multitude will depart from‘the city within twenty-four hours from the close of the official proceedings: which means that thousands of visiting Endeavorers who would join in the procession if it took place during convention week will necessarily be absent. Under a!most any circumstances @ cycle parade in Washington would be a success. If one comes off after the En- deavorers have gone home it will doubtless be well patronized, because there are here so many riders. But a parade that is noth- ing more than a parade—that has no senti- ment in it—must necessarily be far in- ferior to such a hospitable demonstration as The Star would like to see as a feature of the entertainment of the Christian En- deavor convention. —_—__+++__. The Congressional Outlook. The sliver bolt at St. Louis wes not as large, perhaps, as the white metal men hoped it would be, but it turns out that it was quite large enough to seriously em- barrass the republican partyin the United States Senate #s is shown in another column of today’s issue. Granting the bolt- ing republicans the credit of sincerity in their declaratton to sever their connection with the party, it is certain that the re- publicans will practically lose even the plurality of votes that they had in the Senate last winter, and as every present indication points to a democratic declara- tion for free silver at Chicago it is among the probabilities that the democrats will be in @ decided majority in the upper house next winter. The short session from De- cember to inauguration day promises, therefore, to be one of the most exciting end interesting ever held in the history of the country. The effect of the bolt, how- ever, gces furthe: than the coming winter and appears to jeopardize the chances of republican success in the effort that the Farty has been making to control both branches of the national legislature in the Fifty-fifth Congress, the first Congress of the coming administration. According to the computation to be found elsewhere the chances appear to be against the republi- cans in this endeavor, and it may be that the bolt at St. Louis, however insignificant it may be in point of actual numbers, and whether or not it affects the result of the presidential election, will have a decided influence upon the congressional history of the country. Cuba in the Convention. If President Cleveland stood as firmly on the Cuban plank of the republican plat- form as he does on the republican currency plank there would be much rejoicing throughout the United States. There is nothing dubious in the utterance which has the support of mcre than nine-tenths of Americans, without regard to party: “From the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domina- tion. We watch with deep and abiding in- terest the herotc battle of the Cuban pa- triots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined contest for Uberty. The government of Spain, having lost con- trol of Cuba, and being unable to protect the property or lives of resident. Amert- can citizens, or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe that the govera- ment of the United States should actively use Its influence ard good offices to re- store peace and give independence to the island.” The Spanish authorities will, of course, sneer at this declaration as “party trick- ery,” but what will they say when the other conventions taJk in the same straightforward fashion? —_<-e-____. Possibly with plenty of encouragement for the bimetallist sentiment in the demo- cratic party and with Whitney, Gorman and the President himself as guardian in- fluences, David B. Hill might, after all, be persuaded that the presidential nomination is worth taking a chance at. ——_--+s___.

THE WEEK. The national republican convention met, at St. Louis Tuesday and completed its work by Thursday night; the gold stand- ard and the McKinley men were largely in the majority, and carried everything their way; Gov. Morton, Senators Quay and Al- lison and Speaker Reed were Major Mc- Kinley’s rivals for the presidential nomi- nation; the first ballot resulted—McKinley, 01%; Reed, 81%; Quay, 61%; Morton, 53, and Allison, 35%; Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey was nominated for the vice presi- dency on the first ballot, receiving 533% votes, Henry Clay Evans of Tennessee, 277%; ex-Gov. Bulkeley of Connecticut, 39, and Representative J. A. Walker of Vir- ginia, 24; the convention tabled Senator Teller’s free silver substitute for the gold standard declaration by 818% to 105%; on the adoption of the platform Senator Can- non of Utah read a declaration in behalf of the silver men signed by Senators Teller, Dubois and Cannon, Representative Hart: man and Delegate Cleveland, representing Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Montana and Ne- vada, respectively; the statement was heard impatiently, and at its conclusion Senator Teller shook hands with Chairman John M. Thurston and led twenty-two dele- gates from the hall; the delegates who bolted because of the adoption of the sound money plank, issued an address to the peo- ple, in which they defined their course, urged the people to break away from party lines and recommended the election of Senator Teller as President. Democratic state conventions were held in Arkansas, California, Idaho, Louisiana, West Vir- ginia, Delaware, Florida and Maine, only Maine and Delaware declaring for sound money. President Cleveland issued a state- ment expressing the hope that the Chicago convention would not adopt a free silver plank, which, he predicted, would bring lasting disaster to the party; he also de- clared that he had no further ambition for political honors. Wm. C. Whitney expected to sail for Europe early in the week, but was persuaded to remain to attend the democratic convention to try to stop the free silver tide. George Wyckoff of New York, president of the Bank of New Am- sterdam, was shot by Clarence Semple, who then shot himself. The torpedo boat Erics- son bas been finally accepted by the Navy Department, and the last payment of $8,000 on her account has been made to the build- ers, The supreme court of Indiana decided the consolidated liquor cases, involving the constitutionality of what is known as the Nicholson lav; the law is found to be valid.

A tidal wave struck the Island of Yesso, Japan, and 10,000 lives are reported to have been lost. Dr. Jameson, Sir John Willongh- by and the prime movers in the Tralsvaal raid were committed for trial in London; the others were discharged. Marquis de Mores and his party are reported to have been massacred south of Tripolia. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson had a narrow escape from death on a dynamited train in Cuba. Another outbreak occurred in Matabele- land and some whites were murdered. The Kyffhauser monument to Emperor William I was unveiled; Emperor William delivered the address. It was announced in the Brit- ish house of commons that Venezuelan troops had entered the territory in dispute between Venezuela and British Guiana, and had interfered with British surveyors. A revolution has broken out in Guatemala. Thomas Charles Scott, fifth earl of Clon- mel, died in Londcn. In the District. ‘ Public futerest in the proceedings of the national republican convention at St. Louis was quite marked, and the bulletins in the windown of The Star office attracted large crowds, while the regular and extra edi- tions of The Star conveyed the news throughout the city. The public schools were closed for the year with the usual programs, and in a number of educationai institutions of the city graduating exercis- es were held. Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack was given custody of ker two children pend- ing further litigation. By a decision of | Judge Cox the sale of the property and business of the Washington Beneficial En- dowment Association to the Commercial Alliance Insurance Company was set aside and the cause was referred to the auditor of the court. In place of Colonel Gordon, retired, Col. Samuel S. Sumner was or- dered to tke command of the regimental post at Fort Myer. Two little boys, Willie Jenkins and Fred Smith, were killed by a B. and O. train near Florida avenue. Sessions were held of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference of the A. M. E. Church. ————+e-__ SHOOTING STARS.
