THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, :( SEPTEMBER 21, 1896-TWELVE PAGES THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY...........September 21, 1696. CROSBY S. NOYES.. wees Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulatior much more than three times as large as that of any other pauper, morni; or evening, published in Washing- to As a News and Advertising Medium it hus ne 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 office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Mr. Bryan and Spoils. ‘The more Mr. Bryan says about civil ser- vice reform the more evident is it that he is not in sympathy with the merit system. ‘This fact has been in plain view ever since his comprehensive acceptance of the Chica- go platform but a great many people—some of them, strangely enough, residents of Washington—declined to believe what was told them and were vigorous in defending Mr. Bryan from what they were pleased to term “the assaults of extremists.” There is nothing to quarrel over now, for Mr. Bryan has put himself on record so clearly that he who sprints may decipher both language and meaning. In the storm-abbreviated speech which Mr. Bryan delivered at Cap- itol Park Saturday evening he called es- pecial attention to the anti-civil-service plank of the Chicago platform and then told tre multitude just how he felt in the matter. He commenced by reading the plank, and when he concluded the first sentenc We are opposed to life tenure in the public service” thers was a great outburst of ap- plause by those who are not employed by the government but who are willing to lay aside private business if the administration for whose coming they pray and shout will only bid high enough and guarantee a “soft thing.’ The plank having been read, Mr. Bryan—in conscivus partnership with the “outs”—said “We are in favor of the c.vil service reforms that mean something. * * * We believe in appomtments based upon merit, and such a method of appoint- a nt as will open the offices to those of ained fitne: We are in favor of ms of office in the civil department government. We want it so that man goes in he will know how long he is going to stay and when he is going cut. * * * We believe that the life tenure ich relieves a man from all further care is destructive to the kighest forms of citi- nship and should not be tolerated in a country I'ke ours.” 3 And these sentiments were applauded! It may be that those who cheered such utterances were not Washingtonians, or it may be that some of them do reside here and are careless enough of the city’s wel- fare to be willing to have a quadrennial turmoil if in the confusion they could snatch something for themselves, but it is not to be believed that any thoughtful member of this community was honest in his approval of the uncompromising doe- trine of spoils enunciated in the Chicago platform and preached by Mr. Bryan last Saturday evening. It will be noticed by every intelligent person who gives to this matter the con- sideration it deserves that neither Mr. Bryan nor any of his followers present argument in support of the tention; they do not, they cannot, that departure from the methods now in vogue will result in betterment of the serv they totally ignore the admirable results now being achieved by the eco- nomical and business-like system under which the clerical work of the general gov- ernment is being done; they hide their hatred of reform by specious and demagogic reference to a “life tenure” man of straw which they have constructed in the hope that it may further their own selfish purposes. Mr. Bryan may have carried away with the notion that his anti-civil service are popular in Washington; those persons who are really his friends shouid see to it that the error is corrected. Po- litically there are two classes of residents at the National Capital: those who vote and those who do not. Those who vote are, mainly, government employes, whose merit tenure is threatened by Mr. Bryan. ‘Those who do not vote—but who sometimes contribute to campaign funds—are deeply concerned as to tie growth and solidity of the city; their interests, too, are being lt is, therefore, only a reason- conclusion that Mr. Bryan biundered when he talked spoils right in the face of these people. ——— + ee —__ Strengthen the Fire Department. in Saturday's Star was printed the annual report of the chief of the fire department; ting document which has doubi- eon perused ere this by a great major- ity of the people of Washington. Without ssing in detail the requests Chief Parris has to make of the Commissioners and of Congress, it is, for the present, sufficient to say that there is common sense in and behind every one of the recom- mendations. Washington grows steadily and it is essential that the fire department should at least keep pace with it. This, however, it has never done; today it would department to deal successfully with two large fires should the ious chance to come at the same es. As a matter of fact the chief has always Leen too modest in his estimates; he has usked rather for what he bel.eved would be given him than for the things that were endeavor to able ry be impossible for the needed. Perhaps he might not have secured more had he asked for more, but in that wnsibility would have been rs of those who There is ne economy in eiicient, cheap fire department. ‘The equipment ought to be fist class and plenteous as to quaniity; the men deserve to be well paid, and ample provision ought to be made for their support, if injured, or for the pensioning of those dependent upon them should injury be received while duty a small, matter of District appropri- . The Star will, as is its custom, do its utmost to assist in securing money suffi- cient to mee! gitimate public demands. - it is enough to urge upon the trict Commissioners the advisability of asking boldly for all those things which this community needs. ———__+ee It will be urged by the silver men that Gen. Grosvenor did not have near as much inside mformation at command in making up his November figures as he did when he predicted McKinley's nomination. —_—$_+-e.—____ Where Mr. Thacher Stands. The exhibition that John Boyd Thacher is making of himself must be exceedingly painful to all of his friends. That a man of education, of assured position, of ex- perience In affairs and of some knowledge of politics, should deliberately trifle with his own character and intelligence in the way he now fs doing seems almost incradi- bie. He has sought and obtained the demo- cratic nomination for governor of New York on a platform which, to the people of New York, as to the people of the other states, means free silver, and that only, and yet, while holding on to the nomina- tion, he repudiates the thing for which the nomination stands. Mr. Thacher, of course, tries to explain himself. It is to his credit that in his present situation he ts still able to see that an explanation is expected of him. But he makes a very sad mess of the attempt. He endeavors to persuade himgelf that democ- racy with free silver, bad as he believes free silver to be, would be better than re- publicanism with sound money, although he has stated, and still holds, that upon the maintenance of the sound money policy de- pend the credii and honor of the zgovern- ment itself. The man who seriously lays dcwn that proposition is, to speak char- itably, in a very curious state of mind, or the possessor of a very curious kind of political morals. Mr. Thacher talks about state issues, ap- parently witkout knowing that there are ro state issues anywhere this year. He could not raise a state issue in New York thts fall with a derrick. In the South, it {s true, the silver men have the negro question, which is introduced into every campaign. But that question is peculiar, and is con- fined to the South. There is no question local in any other section of the country capable of serving the purposes of the negro question in the South. When Mr. Thacher tramps over New York talking about the Raines bill, or abusing Thomas C. Platt, he will find his audiences clamor- ous for a change-of subject. But a greaier than Mr. Thacher seems to be involved in this confusion. Senator Hill in times past has shown himself to be @ bold and an astute man. He has solved many riddles—has uniied many hard knots. But if, as is alleged, he is pulling the strings which are causing these antics on the part of Mr. Thacher, he must share in the responsibility for what promises to be, and deserves to be, the most signal and disastrous rout in the history of the state. ——__- + ¢ = —_____ That astute Celestial, Li Hung Chang, in an interview gave it as his opinion that the three great men of history are Napo- leon, George Washington and the Chinese Emperor. This looks like modesty in a man of Li’s eminence in Asiatic affairs. But it may be that he is satisfied with the quiet consciousness that the Chinese Em- peror is to a large degree a mere proxy in his greatness. —__—_+ e+ -____ The public schools open today under cir- cumstances which give the boys of the country, its future sovereigns, even more than the ordinary incentive to apply them- selves to those two great branches of po- litical study, oratory and arithmetic. —> In declaring for goid, John Boyd Thacher says, “my words come from my heart.” This sounds conclusive. But it will not altogether allay a sad suspicion in Tam- many that ihey come from Senator Hill's heart. —_+++___ Mr. Bryan is unshaken in his faith in the practicability of bringing his boom east and having the country grow up with it. —<--._____ It is safe to announce that should silver money depreciate, the coal trust's price schedule will be on a strictly gold basis. ——___ «= —____ Mr. Watson is no longer content with keeping in the middle of the vice-presiden- tial road. He wants both sides of it. ——__~+- ee —____ ‘This being a somewhat chilly day there Were only fifty men empicyed upon the new city post-office building. —___+ e+ —____ SHOOTING STARS. Political Economy. “Do you think,” said the young man who has gone into politics, “that a man in my position can afford to be indifferent to public opinion?” “I don’t know,” said Senator Sorghum, thoughitully. “How much is your private income?” A Friendly Criticism. ‘The poetic young man was talking about autumn. “See how the leaves fall trembling to the ground,” he repeated, softly. “That's something of your ow remarked nature. “Yes. thought? “I don't know that I can appreciate it,” was the reply. “It sounds like poetry, though.” A “Do you really think so?” “Yes. It jinkety-jinks along in first-rate style. But I don’t see anything very im- pressive about ii “Doesn't it appeal to your imagination?” “Not much. I don't see how it’s worth the trouble it takes to write it down. The public didn't have to wait for you to be born to find out that autumn leaves fall to the ground. That's the way they always fall. If you'll go out some time and find them falling straight up or sidewise, you can write a piece about it that'll leave Sir Isaac Newton a back-number, and make a hit with any editor in the country. And you won't have to put it in poetry, either.” » isn’t it?” the person with a calloused Is it not a sad, impressive The Republic’s Development.

A Matter of Expediency. “What makes you put the bass drummer away up at the front of the band?” asked the minstrel manager's friend. “Weil, he’s a pretty good drummer, and we had to get him close to the man who leads the way or else discharge him. He's so near sighted that he can’t see across the space we leave for scenic effect in a parade, and he is just as likely as not to wander up a side street and get los A Superfine Distinction. The hypercritical man flung down his paper in disgust. “There it is aga " he exclaimed. “‘Some- body haz once more made use of that inex- cusable phrase, ‘luscious bivalve.’ ” “it is rather old,” replied ais wife in a sympathetic tone. “I don’t object to the age of it,” was the petulant answer; “what makes me indig- nant is its inaccuracy. The oyster in its native state is a bivalve. But before it is fit for consumption somebody has to go at jt with a knife and a hammer and pry at least one of its shells off. Then it may be accepted as a luscious viand. But it’s a univalve then. And so long as it remains a bivalve 1 defy anybody to digest it unless he has a gizzard like an ostrich.” A Great Difference. “There deesn’t seem to be much of a de- mand for seats to this performance,” said the star. No,” said the manager, as he ran over a bundle of dead-head applications; ‘nothing but requests.” An Anxio inquiry.
