6 : THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER. 8, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY.............0etober 8, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES...............Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permavent Family Circulatior much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it hus no competitor. (Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should mot be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according tenor or purpose. Mr. Gorman in the Campaign. Will Mr. Gorman’s appeal for votes for Mr. Bryan in Maryland, on the score of the “regularity” of the candidate, have any ef- fect on those democrats who are not in sympathy with the Chicago platform? In reality, that Is the only ground on which the appeal is made. Mr. Gorman ts not in favor of free silver, and surely the man re- sponsible for the Senate's amendments to the Wilson tariff bill cannot be an enemy of trusts. But, as the creator and pre- server and manipulator of a political ma- chine, the Maryland Senator knows the value of “regularity,” and so harps on that string. It was only last year that Maryland voted for governor. Mr. Hurst was the demo- cratic candidate, and his nomination was in every way “regular.” That is to say, Mr. Gorman’s machine, in the “regular” way, had made it. Mr. Hurst was personally a most estimable man. But some thousands of good democrats refused to support him, and he was beaten. The question of the “regularity” of his candidacy was of no avail with men who stood opposed to all that Mr. Hurst's election would mean. They rejected him because of that which they thought Mr. Hurst represented. They voted against him in order to help put down what they characterized as Gormanism. And they succeeded. Is not the man, capable of rejecting the plea of “regularity” in a local contest, cap- able, with equally gooa grounds, of reject- ing the same plea made in a national con- test? If Mr. Hurst was found objectionable as the representative in that race of Gor- manism, is not Mr. Bryan, as the represen- tative of free silver, free riot, and a rehab- ilitation of the spoils system, in this race equally as objectionable? But more than this. Does not Mr. Bryan's candidacy, so far as Maryland is concerned, also embrace Gormanism? There is every reason to believe that it does. Mr. Gorman, it is very clear, is now laying his foundations for next year’s campaign. He is bidding for the contest of the whole fed- eral patronage of the state for use in his effort to succeed himself in the Senate. And if Mr. Bryan is elected, Mr. Gorman will centrol that patronage, and maybe more. Every machine influence of the new admin- istration will probably be used to restore Mr. Gorman’s ‘weakened powen in Mary- land, and insure his return to the Senate. Mr. Gorman’s friends boast of this, and he himself is belleved to be building on it. This point is worth the consideration of any demecrats in Maryland who opposed Mr. Gorman last year, and expect to op- pose him next year, but who, on the mis- taken idea that Mr. Gorman is not in this race, may be inclined, for simple “regu- larit sake, to vote for Mr. Bryan. Bryanism, to Maryland, undoubtedly means, besides other things, Gormanism; and the democrat in the state who votes to pw Mr. Bryan in the White House, votes to arm and equip Mr. Gorman for next year's sen- atorial race. a eee Our Dirty Streets. Why are the city’s streets so phenomenal- ly unclean just now? The only answer as yet vouchsafed in defense of thelr condition relates the fact that more than a week ago @ great storm swept over this region and littered the highways and byeways with all sorts of rubbish, most of it pulyerized tree- limbs and autumn leaves. A hundred years ago—when somnolency was 4’tommon fea- ture in private and municipal business—a storm might have served as an excuse for @ month or two but today any attempt to hold the ten-days-past hurricane to present accountability must be greeted with laugh- ter. To élean the streets when dirt is com- Paratively scarce is easy enough, provided too much attention is not paid to contract specifications. The taxpayers want clean streets always but especially do they want them at such a time as this. Under or- dinary circumstances a highway might go unswept for two or three days or even a week without causing the public any par- ticular distress ‘or inconvenience, but to neglect main thoroughfares for ten days after the street-surfaces had been littered with removable debris ig wholly inexcusa- ble. That the District Commissioners should permit such wholesale. disregard of the public welfare is remarkable; they have it In thelr power to compel the street-sweep- ing contractor to activity. If the character of the dirt is such that the work cannot be done by the contractor’s machines there ia no evident reason why it cannot be accom- plished by a sufficient combination of men and band-brooms. Unemployed men are un- fortunately, overplentiful; suitable brooms may be purchased for cash of half a hun- dred local dealers. On one portion of F street the merchants have wearied of walt- ing for the contractor and now pay directly Yor better sweeping than any contractor ever did in this or any other American city. ‘There is nothing in this fact for the munici- pal authorities to be proud of. ——_~+es___ The Civil Service Law and Bryan. Those enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Bryan who imagine that their candidate, should he become President, can destroy the civil service law with an autograph are mistaken. The civil service law can be re- pealed only by Congress. It has been as- serted that the presidential right to ex- tend the scope of the statute carries with it, logically, the right of contraction, but the best authorities are agreed that such is not the case. Section 6 of the law pro- vides that any revision of existing classifi- cations shall be for the purpose of “facili- tating the executien of this act; which plainly places beyond the President's power any reversal of the businesslike methods by which the government is orovided with subordinate employes. The spirit of the statute Is everywhere opposed to any such revolutionary action as seems to be con- templated by the hungry spoilsmen who are now cheering Bryan so vociferously. —— «= ____ Hoke Smith does not undertake any ab- struse calculations to show how much smaller the democratic majority in Georgia would have been had he failed to resign just when he did. ——_- 202 The Battle Line New. The battle in the middle states will be all the hotter because of the reeults in Flor- ida and Georgia. They indicate, if any- thing, that, in all but her border territory, the south may be safely put down in the Bryan column. That is an entirely fair as- sumption. If state results in the east are to be accepted as assuring a verdict there later of the same tenor respecting the na- tional issue, state results in the south are entitled to 2 similar interpretation. The east then is for Mr. McKinley, and the greater part of the south for Mr. Bryan. The republicans are working for a big majority. They want to make the fight de- cisive. The success of their ticket by a nar- row margin might prove to be 4 barren vie- tory. They might find themselves unable to move with that precision and e tiveness necessary. to the redemption of their prom- ises. If silver, as a disturbing force, is to be disposed of, it must be by @ verdict of some emphasis. A return made by s bare majority of the jury would be the signal for a prompt appeal of the issue to the next Congress elections, and business would, necessarily, in a large measure re- main unchanged. .Mr. Bryan and his friends, after a brief rest, would resume their agitation, with Mr. Bryan as the prospective nominee of the silverites for President again in 1900. These are considerations which will enter into the contest from this time. And they will inspire the one side as well as the other. Mr. Bryan is fond of repeating his assertion that even if silver loses this year, the fight will go on. If he finds he cannot win, it will be everything to him, there- fore, to bring the contest as close to a draw as possible; to retire from the field in fairly good order and go to work at once preparing for the renewal of hostilities. Mr. Watson loses heavily by these south- ern returns. The populists of the south are evidently not under his control. Otherwise, not only in Georgia, but in Arkansas, Ala- bama and Florida, they would have given a better account of themselves. Mr. Watson, as a populist leader, therefore, seems to be almost as impotent as Mr. Sewall as a democratic leader, and neither may justly claim to be affording Mr. Bryan any help whatever. If Mr. Watson’s sore throat should prove serious enough to force him to abandon further stumping, the campaign will lose an interesting figure. For this reason the medical opinion in the case ought not to be tinctured with the slightest suspicion of partisanship. The country has a perfect right to demand a consultation of phy- sicians, and that a populist, a democrat and a republican shall all participate in it. —— ++ —___ Alexandria had a grade-crossing expe- rience this morning when a steam railroad- train crashed into a train on the electric road. The emptiness of the electric cars is the only reason why a number of Precious human lives were not sacrificed. In the early days of railroading there was some excuse for grade-crossings, but there is no excuse today. Alexandria could easily, when the electric road’s tracks were authorized, have compelled the eleva- tion or depression of either of the sets of tracks, but it did not do so. It may some day pay a heavy penalty for its careless Uberality to unappreciative corporations. —_ +» —_____ A solid body of solid men is the National Association of Life Underwriters now in seseion in this city. Their success in busi- hess testifies to their ability, while their selection of Washington as a meeting-place is evidence of the best judgment. The peo- ple of the national capital welcome such visitors and hope their stay here will be heavily laden with the material out of which pleasing reminiscences are made. Delightful all the year round, Washington is especially attractive at this season. ——+-+—___ When the District Commisstoners reach the subdivision “€oeroner” in their ,forth- coming annual report they will do the right thing and the popular thing if they recom- mend the immediate abolition .of.the office. The Commissioners need only call congres- sioral attention to this matter and it will doubtless be attended to. ——_- + e = —___ Gen. Weyler will hardly fail to see the de- sirability of bringing the Cuban question to a settlement before another administra- tion comes in. The only doubt is whether his abilities in the matter will keep pace with his perceptions. ———_ + «= Considering how much he has'to edit his opinions, it is not surprising that Mr. Hill should be a little slow in having them pub- lished. +2 —___ Only ninety men—probably the same old prinety—were reported as being at work today on the new city post-office building. ——____ + ee -___ There is a slight prospect of Tom Wat- son's having the middle of the road all to himself. —____++e—___ Senator Hill seems to favor several par- tes at once. —< e+ SHOOTING STARS. . Psychological Phenomena. “It's strange,” ‘said the contemplative man, “how the opirions.of various men and various parties will differ.” “Yes,” replied the cavstic commentator, “but it's a good deal stranger.how the opinions of the same man in the same party will differ according to ‘wifi’ happens to go into the platform.”. Behind the Theater Hat. You ask him how the story goes; He really cannot tell. But he knows just when the curtain ‘rose; He heard them ring a bell. An Opinion Indorsed. _ “It will be only a short “time before election,” remarked the casual observer. “Yes,” replied the man who was trying in vain to get campaign subscriptions; “I think this is about the shortest time I ever knew of in any similar connection.” Valedictory. ‘Tis autumn, somber autumn, and the joys of summer flee; We'll miss the tender tootle of the songbird on the tree. But more than sylvan music and the per- fumes of the field, We'll miss the men whose praises from the bleaching-boards once pealed. No more we'll hear that orator, never-falling voice, Has ever boded tumult—we refer to Scrappy Joyce. And we'll pine for that debater upon ethics and on law, Who is mostly known as Muggsy, his last name is McGraw. Where now is the bold umpire with the nerve to call a strike On that wizard of the willow whom we hail as “Silent Mike?” There is nothing that would so warm up the cockles, of the heart As to gaze on Jiggsy Parrott while he prac- tices Delsarte But the rooters all have vanished with the silent leaves that fall; There is only desolation where they once were playing ball. We mourn for Foghorn Miller, Pebbly Jack and Bid McPhee, And all such famous folk who made the welkin ring with glee. ‘Tis all in vain another glimpse the fan who lingers begs Cartwright, gallant Cartwright, with the stanch piano-legs. Kid Gleason and Bug Holliday, Mute Hoy and Cupld Childs, Have gone from the arena into dark ob- livion’s wilds. "Tis true that e’en the splendors of an em- pire cannot sta: But just the same, it’s*hard to see our pets thus fade away; To call in vain for Chip McGarr, Pink Haw- ley, and the rest, And hear, in answer, but the wind that’s sobbing in the west; To wander unrestricted through the old en- vironments, With no one near to stop you and demand your fifty cents. But daylight follows darkness, memories of yore, Give glorious assurance of things that are in store. And patiently we'll listen for the songbirds’ carolling, For we know that, like the robins, they'll be with us in the spring. whose though or and the ‘THE BUSY CORNER. | 22S 5. Kann, Sons 0.
