In the matter of establishing democratic National headquarters, Chairman Jones of the national committee favors Washington. He regards the capital as the best point for holding conferences, and also for the d tribution of authoritative campaign litera~ tere. It is, likewise, a good compromise peint as between New York and Chicago. Washington should be chosen. It de- serves the preference that Mr. Jones ex- pres for it. The location has every con- venience that party managers could desire. It is the city for conferences, for ready and final ri nces as to party records, and for the collection and distribution of the best campaign literature. So far as the qu tion of news publication is concerned, it @ stated without im- propriety or the fear of contradiction that r and the sound money causes of fair and just treat- The Star may be pardoned, itself in evidence of this Its columns have always been n to the reliable and the latest news of and it claims, and has had its im allowed, to have heen almost the only side of the Alleghenies columns were to be gath- last winter and the early appreciation of the rapid growta rT cause throughout the country. of prominence were repeatedly neir latest advices on the sub- readers of the paper were, in this way, kept alv sed of the true situation.

Chicago has given civil-service reform a reasonably-fair trial for the past year or g0, and seems to be well satisfied with the results. The movement in behalf of hon- esty in municipal government has been re- tarded as much as possible by the spoils- men—clamorous and otherwise—but a great deal of real purification has actually been accomplished. The secretary of the cit civil service commission said, in an address delivered recently, that “One great positive result the reform has achieved is that the municipal service, In- stead of being filled, as of old, with hordes of hungry office-seekers, each anxious to feed at the public crib, is now occupied only by people whe have legitimate business there. The department heads have time to do the work which they are paid to do. If the present mayor of the city were here, he would tell you (and other mayors would bear him out, I believe) that his health had well-nigh broken down under the merci- lesz clamor of the job-seeker. All this has been ended by the civil service law. Chi- cago will have no more of it as long as th law exists and Is faithfully administered.” The padrone system has also been de- stroyed, so that competent laborers can now secure employment without paying cash tribute to the conscienceless politi- cians who for years had been acquiring wealth through illegal assessments levied upon the comparatively helpless municipal employes. All patronage has been taken away from members of the common coun- cil. Only a Uttle while since a newly- elected alderman asked the mayor to pro- vide positions for one hundred of his con- stituents, and all he received was a bundle of one hundred blank applications for ex- aminations as to fitness. May the good work continue. —+>+e—___ Harmony Between Army and Navy. The army and navy have practically harmonized their signaling systems so that in time of need cornmunication may be es- tablished and maintained between our marching and floating forces. This is a step in the right direction and ought to be followed as soon as posisble by other and longer strides. At the present time there exists a most remarkable condition of af- fairs as to armament. The army has a rifle of .20 caliber, the navy has a rifle of -23 caliber, the various subdivisions of the national guard end of the naval reserve have rifles of assorted calibers and fit main- ly for the scrap-pile. This is ‘inexcusable weakness at a vital point. There is ever before us the possibility of strife, in the course of which all arms of both services might frequently be associated. The con- fusion arising from the mixture of requisi- tions for and issues of ammunition can easily be imagined by anyone who can think. It having been demonstrated that the army and navy can get together and reach agreement on one subject why may there not be similar confe-ence and agree- ment as to caliver? The go-as-you-please methods row in vogue are expensive and unsatisfactory; continued in time of war they would be costly beyond computation in men and money. To wait for Congres- sional action is but to waste time. Let patriotism and business sense impel the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Vy to move at once in this extremely important matter. BS —> 0-2 —__ Kansas to the Front Again. More than one hundred thousand meu, women and children will hear with sur- prise end grief of the decision of the Kan- sas Court of Appeals which overthrows the law under which divorces have been grant- ed in Kansas for the past twenty-five years. It has been estimated that more than forty thousand decrees of divorce were pronounced within that period; which means that the confusion as to marital relations, legitimacy of offspring and con- trol of property will be almost indeseril- able. An omnibus remedy for this condition inay not easily be devised, so the outlouk is really distressing for mary peopie who are in any sense responsible for the divorces which, by the ineffectiveness of the law, have never had any legal exist- ence. As a result of the decision of the Court of Appeals there will be all manner not of complicated ccnfusion in countless homes. The only beneficiaries in this case will he lawyers. soe Nearly three and a half years ago the freighi steamer Naronic of the White Star line left Liverpeol for New York. Fi months later one of the Naronic’s boats Was found southwest of the Azores. Now we hear that a bottled message has been icked up near Birkenhead; a message of six words that tells of the steamer’s col- lisien with an iceberg. Supposing that the message is what it purports to be, then one of the mysteries of ocean has beea cleared up, for we Know now what became ef the Naronic. ——_~+ ee —_ A committee of ladies in Cleveland, O., told Major McKinley that they did not exactly understand protection, but they thought it must be a good thing because he favored it. And yet people have questioned the major’s possession of that great requis- ite im a campaign, personal magnetism. ——— e+e —___—_ Mr. Bryan's neighbors at his old home are naturally pleased at the prominence he has reached. Whatever the outcome of the campaign may be the advertisement will be a@ first-rate thing for Salem. -— oe Governor Altgeld did not receive an ova- tion at Chicago, but seems none the less disposed to insist on a front seat on the band-wagon. ++ Only two hundred and twenty men labor- ed on the new city post-office building to- day.
