6 THE EVENING THE EVENING STAR |="esumenewesens| 00 eh Pe ee Oe ———_—— WASHINGTON. FRIDAY...............October 23, 1806. CROSBY S. NOYES..............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulatior much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or event: published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, om 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. The Assault on Local Prosperity. Yesterday The Star suggested briefly va- rious assaults upon the prosperity of Wash- ington which were threatened by the Chi- cago platform. Undoubtedly the attack upon the merit system, to which a mere reference was made, is giving the most serious concern not only to the clerks whom it directly affects, but to every business in- terest in Washington, whose prosperity is inseparably intertwined with that of the twenty thousand government employes, who, with their families, constitute so im- Portant an element of the city’s population. Efficient clerks, who considered their po- sitions safe as long as they remained effi- cient, and in that belief bought or rented comfortable homes, patronized liberally ac- cording to their means the grocer, the clothier, and all the other dealers in com- modities for household or individual tse, and who confidently invested their savings in building associations and other similar institutions, are now in (pe state of terror which characterized them in the old spoils era, when the paralysis of daily apprenen- sion reduced their pecuniary value to the community as circulators of money by even more than the fifty per cent of depreciation which is proposed for our pres2nt dellar. The frightened employes are seeking to realize upon their investments to cheapen the cost of living. to cut down every bill, to reduce the rent charge by substituting cramped rooms for houses, and all Wash- in gton in every branch of business suffers with them. The success of Mr. Bryan and the Chicago platform would render period- ical these panics and make the business paralysis perpetual. A picture of Washington under the old spoils system need not be painted for the benefit of its business men. They have not forgotten the bad debts, the shaky credits, the unrented houses, the half-paid mort- geges, the regularly recurring depressions when none dared buy more than their bare necessaries. New comers have heard the story with wonder that a community could ever prcsper under such conditions. Civil service reform brought a degree of confidence in the future that was unknown before. Instead of violent changes in the financial affairs of a large body of resi- dents at intervals, there came permanence and security. Boarders became house- buyers, and under the influence of a prom- ise of retention in office during good he- havior the clerks protected by the civil service law, who had been mere birds of passage in the past, came to regard them- selves as permanent residents and invested their savings, thus contributing to the pros- perity of the capital. Bad debts became rare, and the credit system was far less of a threat to the merchant. In short, Washington emerged from the shadow of doubt that the spoils system had cast upon it and throv never before. Now it is threatened that this era of prosperity is to be ended. The thousands now deriving incomes from the government under the civil service law may be swept from office by a hungry horde of political strikers. Washington is confronted with an experience far worse than that which was cured by the reform now assailed. Under the old plan of office-distribution the local merchants, while puzzled by the uncertainties of trade and credit, knew in a general way what they had to expect, ard planned accordingly. Now, however, after several years of the beneficent work- ings of the civil service law, to which the busmess of Washington has adapted itself, a sudden radical revolution of conditions is - threatened. Not until it 1s certain that Bryan and free silver and free spoils have been de- feated at the polls will there be a revival of confidence, elther among the clerks ard those dependent upon them or the business men of the capital. Is it a marvel, then, that the substantial citizens of Washington are anxious for the election of the republi- can nominee, and that The Star, as the ad- vecate of the city’s interests, is urging th2, importance of this end? ——__ + + = —____ Colonel Morrison, according to accounts, says he can swallow Bryan, but he cannot take in Altgeld and Jehu Baker at the same swallow, and concludes not to attempt even @ broken dose. —__ e = -____ There is something which gratifies the ratural longing for retribution In the fact that Li Hung Chang is now engaged in answering the emperor’s questions. —__ ++ —___ President Cleveland hopes that the Princeton students will vote with the en- ergy and discrimination that they show in playing foot-ball. ——____ + = —___ It Is said that Just before the populists get ready for a drubbing they cry fraud. Chairman tler may think it will be dif- ferent this time. —.7oe Chairman Jones protests against alleged coercion. Notwithstanding this Mr. Watson intimates that an attempt is being made to ccerce him. ————___ + e+ —___ yeneral Lee may find it easier holding Weyler down than the sentiment of Vir- ginia silver men. soe It sounds as if Senator Tillman had been discreetly muzzled. —___ +e -—__ The Indignity to Mr. Carlisle. ‘The disgraceful scene enacted at Coving- ton last night is instructive, and will bear trait, far beyond the confines of that state or territory. It marks distinctly the despe- ration of the silver cause, and shows how far its more extreme advocates are willing to go to forward their ends. The bare outline of the episode is suffi- cient to convey the story. The most dis- tinguished citizen of the state—fourteen years a member of the lower house of Congress and three times Speaker of that body; for two years a member of the Sen- ate; for nearly four years now the Secre- tary of the Treasury—presents himself in his old home by appointment to discuss the political questions of the day. In his au- dience are the mayor of the town and many ladies There is no reason on any- bedy’s part to expect a partisan tirade. The speaker's reputation for polite’ and fair discussion is national. His intelectual qualities require neither rhetoric nor fury to carry them along. Yet he scarcely en- ters upon a well-considered task when a hundred or more turbulent rowdies show their teeth and inaugurate a system of low affronts. Whence comes their inspiration? More immediately, from a bar room in the lo- cality. The keeper of the place is a silver shouter. He conceives the idea of inter- fering with Mr. Carlisle's meeting by call- ing his people together at a meeting to be held in the open air in front of his doggery. But the authorities forbid that. The place, then, fills up—probably by arrangement— with a squad of “bums,” who fill them- selves up with whisky and prepare for ac- tion. Their shouting attracts other “bums,” and in a short time this crowd invades the hall where Mr. Carlisle is to speak, and “lays” for him. The whole thing is low— the idea of a tough, exec by toughs, whom he has made drunk enough to out- Tage all decency. _ The necise, once begun, was of course kept up. Rowdies, in such circumstances, rarely desist. They know their power. They have nothing to lose. The presence of la- dies is no restraint upon them. They would egg a lady quite as readily as they would @ man of whom they disapprove. Can any man in his senses doubt which side is injured by such displays? Mr. Car- lisle certainly has not been injured. He ad- vertised a speech on the political questions of the day, and the report shows that, in the face of oft-repeated affronts, he deliv- ered a speech replete with argument, his- tory and wise conclusions. There was not a word in it to which any silver man could reasonably make objection on the lines of free speech and fair discussion. It proved to be a speech to which anybody could listen with profit, except some drunken loafer bent upon violence. The silver campaign has from the outset Possessed some strange and startling fea- tures. It began with a nomination by frenzy. A national qonvention was swept eff its feet by a stump speech, and in that condition nominated an inexperienced young man, whose most striking quality is a capacity for agitation. It has been for- warded largely by forgery. Fictions, pure and simple, and garbled speeches have been sown broadcast over the land. The era of fury seems now to have arrived, when speakers are at the mercy of mobs. The most distinguished men of the opposition are not accorded the reception to which they are eminently entitled by every con- sideration of fair play. Frenzy, Forgery, Fury. Last picture of all, let us hope, may be a flunk at the polls, so pronounced as to dissolve for all time so dangerous and so unworthy a coalition. ——_+- +e ____ Opening of the Burglary Season. The police records indicate that burglars are becoming active in this city once more. It is the season for such depredations, and Rcuseholders must provide themselves with safeguards and attend regularly to the locks and fastenings at night. The police do excellent work in the capture of the thieves, and the citizens should do their share in preventing the robberies. The District courts show no leniency to these marauders, who form one of the worst classes of criminals, for they are, by in- stinct, and often by design, murderers as well as thieves. They ply their trade with deadly weapons ready for use, and when detected and interfered with, their im- pulse is to fight even to the extent of mur- der to assure their escape. Hence they de- serve, and usually receive, the severest punishment permitted by the law. ——« =_____ It is not entirely safe for the silver ora- tors to hold England up as a horrible ex- ample of how rich and prosperous a coun- try may become with a gold standard. 3 ____ There are ‘no doubt populists who have their suspicions that Secretary Morton so manipulated the weather as to bring about this demand abroad for our wheat. eee Ex-Governor Campbell got on the free silver train with caution. The conductor did not know that he was aboard for a long time. ————»>+e—_____ Notwithstanding Mr. Altgeld’s assurance that It ought to be ashamed of itself, the Supreme Court is to sit as usual. ——___> e j]___ It is feared that the President's ‘Thanks- giving message will be more of a mental strain than usual this year. —— = ____ Governcr Morton may pardon John Y. McKane, but he wiil never wholly forgive ‘Lhomas Piatt. —e>—___ Tom Watson insists on staying in the ring until the very last auditor has lef: the tent. Only fifty-eight men worked today on the city post-office. SHOOTING STARS. His Observation. “Did you know,” said the man who was reading an article about the contraction of metals, “that a clock ticks faster in win- ter than summer?” “No, I never noticed that about a clock. But I know a gas meter does.” At the Theater. Behind a bunch of plumes she sat; They could not smother A laugh; for surely one big hat Deserves another. Ill-Natured. “A man ought always to consult his wife before he takes any step of importance,” the dyspeptic man remarked. “You think there-is an advantage in her intuitive perceptions?” “No. But it keeps her from saying, ‘I told you so.’ ” “Som’er deshere ‘can‘date talk’s pow’ful haw'd ergin de speculators,” said Uncle Eben. “But w’en er campaign gits hot, I notus dat dey goes in dah se’fs an’ prom- ises er huli lot, wi'fout knowin’ faw sure whedder dey’s gwineter be able ter delibber de goods aw not.” In Theory and Practice. “They talk about Woman being impracti- cal!” she exclaimed, “but they ought not to.’ “What has set you thinking about that?” inquired the neighbor at whose gate she had stopped. “My husbard. He’s been talking about the rise in whcat. He's explained all about the purchase and sale of millions of bushels of wheat and Fillions of barrels of flour and the law of supply, but when it comes to remembering to stop at the ‘baker's to tell him to send around a 4-cent loaf of bread, he’s no more to be depended on than @ baby.” Survival of the Fittest. When election is o'er and the torches cre out, When dark is the eae ‘and silenced the shout, And vanished each clique and clan, A few may rejoice, but 'tis sure, alas, That they who make up the more numer- ous class Are the people who “also ran.” And whether it be in the battle’s din Or when cloistered students essay to win, Applause from their fellow man, A few will te greeted with cheers and flowers; But there's nothing to tell of the wasted. hours Of the millions who “also ran.” —___+ + «+ ____— Campaign of Fraud and Forgery. From the Philadelphia Press. A few days ago the Indianapolis‘ Journal gave warning that the Bryanites proposed to try and imitate the Morey letter tactics of 1880 and spring forged letters on the pub- lic In the last days of the cam; This warning seems to have been timely. Within two days two forged letters have appeared in print. In one of these Mr. McKinley is represented as refusing to aid in procuring pensions for a soldier’s widow and for a veteran in need. The other letter is pub- Ushed in California and claims to have been sent from Boston, its ostensible object being to make it appear that money will be of- fered for votes for McKinley in California. Both thee letters are clumsy forgeries and have been pronounced such by the persons from whom they claim to have emanated. They cannot deceive any one, and hige 4 are convincing proofs of the weakness of the cause they are intended to help. -THE EVENING sTAR,’ FRIDAY.
