8 : THE WASHINGTON. FRIDAY -. October 16, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES.......... + +--EQitor. — THE EVENING STAR has a regular as that of any other paper, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. — (7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- nee, letters to imply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Unique Monument at Gapland. A monument unique in design and loca~’ tion, as well as in what it commemorates, was formally dedicated today at Gapland, Md. It is a memorial to the army corre- spondents and artists of the war, who wrote and illustfated the daily history cf the great conflict. With the war and the war correspondent and the great demand by the public for information came the wonderful modern development of the American newspaper, astonishing the world with its enterprise, in collecting the news of interest to its readers from every corner of the earth with little thought of ex- pense, The war was epoch-making in news- paper offices, as well as in national coun- cils. So the memorial at Gapland is some- thing more than a monument to the mem- ory of individuals. It marks the advaace in journalism in which the American news- paper has led the world. Its location look- ing down from the mountain side over the wide Maryland valleys and the historic Potomac, the scene of much of the stirring panorama of the civil war, was happily chosen. The newer generations of journal- ists must ever revere the memory of the men whose enterprise, persistence under untold difficulties, personal daring, and lit- erary ability, won for their calling a pres- tige that has done much to inspire every newspaper worker with a pride in his craft. ‘The addresses made today will be found most readable for they bring graphically to view again much that was of fascinating Interest in war history, the daily life, the trials and achievements of the man who had to de always at the front—the war re- porter. tics EVENING STAR. soe Of Interest to All the People. The people of Washington are deeply in- terested in the money question now at issue between the political parties in the presi- dential campaign, but they have a more direct concern in the test of the perma- nence of the civil service system involved in the candidacy of Mr. Bryan, whose plat- form and public utterances threaten a re- peal or executive nullification of the law. Therefore, the address just issued by the National Civil Service Reform League to the voters of the United States, setting forth the dangers to good government in- volved in the contest, will doubtless find an echo in the hearts of thousands here at the capital, who are directly affected as in- dividuals by the issue. But in a less per- sonal way every citizen of the nation is cencerned. Civil service reform really ap- peals to all, irrespective of locality or posi- tion. It means economical government through the interposition of a system of selection in order of merit between the pub- lic offices and the people eager for employ- it means the appointment of fit per- regardless of political preferences and retention when they have become proficient in the performance of their duties. It, therefore, reduces to a mini- mum, when properly administered, the loss of revenue represented by poor work by in- competent public servants. Hence the tax- payers have a part in the effort to pre- serve the system from disruption, and the League has performed a patriotic duty in putting the case plainly and forcibly before the voters, who really have in their hands the fate of the law. ee By refraining from des:gnating the states | which are to give Major McKinley the j presidency, Senator Quay sets a valuable ex- ample of prudence to the other campaign calculators. A great many splendid possi- Dilities have been wasted because some- body was in too much haste about showing his hand. —_—e +__ Mayor Pingree kas refused to disclose his age, as required to qualify as a voter. The heroic example of Mrs. Lease seems to have been wasted. ———__+ «+_.. Major McKinley cannot be accused of be- ing chary with assurances that no silver trust shall escape his most energetic con- Sideration. —_+ e+ ____ There will be some disposition among Bryan men to account for Tom Watson's sere throat on the theory of providential inierference. ———+ + 2____ At present it is the party with the most industrious statisticians that gets the largest number of votes. ———__ + e+ The Floundering of Mr. Gorm: The speech delivered by Senator Gorman im Balt:more last night will not take rank with the happy deliverances of that usually Specious pleader. The difficulties were too Sreat even for him. He had piled up too Much in front of him to be able to clear it at one bound and alight on his feet. The-e Were iis years of opposition to silver in the Senate, including his co-operation with Mr. Cleveland in the fignt for the repeal of the p & clause of the Sherman act. There was the platform of the Maryland democracy adopted at his instance only last spring, deciaring emphatically in favor cf sound money. And there were other things. Avoldance of them was imposaible. Since, therefore, there was no way of get- ting around them, the only alternative was to try and get over them, and on the re- sult of that effort’Mr. Gorman's warmest fiends can hardly congratulate him with @ siraight face. Mr. Gorman’s whole speech may be re- @uced to this: “Our principles having been Fepudiated by a majority of our party in national convention, resolved, that for that Feason, and no other, we now repudiate them ourselves.” This is precisely the ac- tion that Mr. Bryan, in whose interest it is taken, has expressly deciared that he Would not take in the interest of any man or party; but that is neither here nor there. Mr. Gorman is of another stripe of par- tisan. With him, and those who train with him, the motto is, that the individual has no convictions that party cannot change— for campaign purposes, at least. There are some startling assertions scat- tered through the speech. For an instance: “It is said that we cannot maintain the silver standard by ourselves. Upon that Question there is a wide difference of opin- fon, necessarily so. I, for one—and I want to be, as I said in the beginning, entirely frank—while always for bimetallism, al- ‘Ways denouncing the trick by which silver ‘Was demonetized in 1873, knowing the sen- @itiveness of capital, not wanting to disturb or give the slightest excuse for disturb- ing business anywhere, prefer that we @bould have an arrangement by which the states of the Latin union would join with us in using silver again. But when the Fepublican party surrendered to the gold standard, and when those democrats, who have gone off became advocates — system of the single gold and free trade, I take my stand with my rty and say we are strong enough to ve our own policy.” Could anything be more misleading? Mr. Gorman a bimetallist—an advocate of in- viting outside assistance toward settling | When she Icoks, supercilious, thrqugh. the silver question—until driven, acually @r:ven, into the free silver camp by the surrender of the republicans and the demo- crats acting with them to “the English sys- tem of the single gold standard and free trade"! Does Mr. Gorman imagine that anybody forgets what the St. Louis plat- form declares for? Is not bimetallism by international agreement distinctly indorsed, with the pledge given that the whole power of the government, if the republicans are successful at the polls, shall be employed in an effort to bring such an agreement about? And as for free trade, has Mr. Gorman himself forgotten that the free trade features of the Wilson tariff bill were Prepared with the active assistance of a Bryan, who was then a member of House? Of course, in circumstances so inviting for such indulgence, Mr. Gorman must have his fling at the plutocrats. He se- lects for target the rich editor. Mr. Gor- man has no liking for the newspaper of character and independence. It dissem- inates too much information to suit his purposes. This is the way he whacks the gold standard editor: “For remember, fellow citizens, all the great press, with a few exceptions in the eastern countries, are controlled by men who believe in the gold ndard, whose interest is with the goid standard, and after all, the newspaper man is not much better than any other citizen. He has as a rule, all of the frailties that the bal- ance of us are subjected to. He will work for his interests, and if he happens to be rich he will be more exacting than this poor fellow down here and myself.” This is pretty low demagogy. “This poor fellow” is not described, but presumably he was some man of conspicuously humble estate, poorly dressed. “Myself,” as all Maryland knows, Is, not at all to his dis- credit, something of a swell in matter of attire, and rated as anything but a poor man. His claim to speak for any “poor fellow,” except to cajole him for a vote, is pretty broad humbug. Mr. Gorman characterizes those demo- crats who are supporting the Indianapolis ticket as “cowards.” As between the “‘cow- ardice” of men ilke George Gray and Don- aldson Caffery, and the “courage” of men lke John C. Sheehan and Arthur P. Gor- man, the decision of the country need not alarm the friends of the former. Not Enemies, but Friends. It seems to be one: of the essential fea- tures of Bryanism that wage-earners gen-. erally shall be regarded as the deadly enemies of their employers. Upon this as- sumption some of those who are engaged in supporting the Chicago nominee and the Chicago ticket are claiming many electoral votes which would otherwise, they admit, be the unquestionable possessions of Will- iam McKinley. Those who firmly believe that employers and employes are work- ing at cross purposes in this campaign will surely be much surprised when the election returns come in some three weeks hence. In a few instances and in a few places capital and labor are by no means 2s friendly as they should be, but in the vast majority of cases there is much more of close relationship between the two than is dreamed of by the demagogues whose business it is to misrepresent and mislead. It has many times been stated by some of the more conspicuous of Mr. Bry- an's adherents and campaign associates that tens of thousands of American work- ingmen are wearing McKinley buttons now because they are coerced into an appear- ance of republicanism, but who, when election day comes, will vote for Bryan. Such a statement as that—and it has many times been made of late—is an insult to the American workingman and one which he is likely to resent when the first oppor- tunity presents itself. The indesendence of the American wage-earner has always been one of the most marked of his char- acteristics. Another characteristic that ought not to be lost sight of even by shal- low politicians is his common sense; which is admittedly far above the average of tie intelligence of Europe. In a country where ignorance is the common lot, it might be possible to deceive the agricultural laborer and the mechanic and the clerk into believ- ing that their employers are unjust and have no other than selfish, hostile interesis. In the United States such deception must of necessity be impossible. The inter-de- pendency of capital and iabor is as plain to tne American employe as it is to the American empioyer. oo Mr. Bryan's addresses to women may be with a view to being on the safe side in connection with any enfranchisements that may occur before 1900. —- «2 —___ If the return of John J. Ingalls did noth- ing more for the country, it would at least make the Congressional Record more read- able. A twenty-six story building has been planned for New York. This looks like a direct challenge to Chicago. Netwithstanding an increase in force, there were but sixty men at work on the best-office building today. ——_ + es —___ SHOOTING STARS, Among the Literati. “Scribbens says he has decided not to put bis pen to paper this year unless he gets $200 first.” “I don’t doubt it.

But after Harold has pald a few gas bills you'll probably conclude that it will be just as well to put the matches where he can find them snd turn the lig! out.” Vandaliam.
