An Unwasranted Complaint. When one examines and considers the record, it is tmpossible to sympathize with those gold democrats who just now are railing at the republicans for their course on the tariff question. Their complaint is not only not justified, but it is a reflection on themselves. Can they be entirely seri- ous in their demand that protection be abandoned or compromised by the party which for years has fostered that prin- tiple What right have these gentlemen to complain? The republicans last year made no concealment of their purposes. Their platform as to the tariff was perfectly They engaged, it is true, to resist coinage at 16 to i, as an independent -t by this country, but they expressly stated that ff restored to power they would revise the tartff on protection lines. They meant what they gaid, and the country at large belleved them. The gold democrats who supported Mr. McKinley entered no protest then against this republican prom- ise. They had every reason to know that it was making thousands of votes for the republican ticket, and they evinced pleas- ure at the prospect of republican success. Were these gentlemen really of the hope that the republicans were playing a bunco game? Could they have persuaded them- selves that as seon as the victory was won the victors would repudi@Me the promises which had secured it? Were they expect- ing that men born and brought up In the faith of protection could or would execute such a maneuver? Hardly. The likelier explanation of the present outgivings of these gold standard revenue reformers fs that with the passing, that proposed by him. The ordinary ser- vice examination will amply suffice for the subordinate positions in the bureau, with here and there a touch of technical testing for certain places. There is one thing to be considered in this connection that may as well be settled at once. The protection af- forded by the civil service law should not in justice be continued to cover this office without a test of the incumbent. Other- wise the rule might operate to its own dis- proving. This is especially true if the Sec- retary’s plan of instituting a technical ex- amination should be adopted. The falrest and best way under the. circumstances would be to open the office to competition under the new conditions, and to allow all comers to try the ordeal, including the in- cumbent. The accident of his incumbency at the time the office was placed under the protection of the law should not operate } supervising architect. This can be assured- for the time at least. of the danger of free coinage, they have forgotten the true ex- nt to which they committed themselves last fall. The sight of a protective tariff Measure arouses their old-time fre, and their first impulse is to smite it, regardless of consequences. Aside from the tariff question and from every other question, it is well for the country that the party in power is under- taking in a conscientious manner to carry out its campaign promises. Those promises were not made without the fullest regard to their meaning, and very substantial results were obtained on the strength of them. To utterly tgnore them now, tWere- fore, or even undertake a clap-trap execu- tion of them, would be an act of the bald- est bad faith, and in itself would militate against a return of confidence. For if the party in power should show itself un- worthy of confidence, how could any of its performan operate in the interests of contidence ee A Washington Boy's Success. One of the most surprising and at the time gratifying things in modern municipal polities occurred the other day in Chicago, where a mayor was chosen. Seventy thousand votes were cast for John Maynaré Harlan, a young man, practically unknown to the voters of the city, without experience in affairs, and standing upon an independent platform. But he stood for an idea that appealed to the intelligence of the conservative business men of the com- munity, the respectable element not tiew down to party regardless of right anc wrong. He represented the desire for clean, honest government and after a brief can- vess he secured second place in the race against heavy odds. This was the more re- markable in that he was not backed by a party nor even by an organization. The heavy vote thet he polled under these ad- verse circumstances is a tribute both to his personality and to the political ideals of a large proportion of the citizens of Chicago. ‘The peopie of the capital are especially in- terested in this achievement because of the fact that Mr. Harlan ts virtually a Wash- ingtonian, for he lHved here during the greater part of his life with his father, Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court. His good race this year gives reason to believe that he will be heard from later, and that the seeds sown In the interest of good gov- will sprout and bear fruit in fu- ‘ampaigns. Though defeated for the mayorality the result is being hailed gen- erally as @ distinguished success. —— = The Star in the Suburbs. In another part of this issue will be found an announcement that The Star will here- after be distributed to subscribers in the suburbs of Georgetown and T-nleytown at the same rate charged to those living in the city pro: This step is significant of the pid growth of the city and is the last of series of similar extensions that have tended to ignore the artificial boundary of Florida avenue and to create, so far as the circulaiioa of The ar is concerned. a same ture Greater Washington. This policy might profitably be followed by other public and semi-public business coacerns. The local suburban movement has been steady and progressive for several years. Tracts of previously vacant land and great areas enly a short time ago devoted to agricul- ture are row included in the residential section, handsome houses are being buiit in every direction and the tide of population is strong and resistiess toward the free spaces of the suburbs. One by one the various suburban communities have been included in the city t city rates, and the ystem of delivery, present extension iow completes the list. This action is sig- nificant beyond tts effect on those tmme- diately concerned for it marks an era in local affairs. oo ___ away with of the s should be taker lity to do that new employe gevernment printing office may hay sen to feel that they received appoint Jest in time to be in at the collaps see It Is almost irreverent to assume that the western voters would express any dissatis- faction with the Dingley bill until after the Senate got through amending it. ee it Service in the Architect's Office. « There can be no reasonable objection to the Treasury appointed after a modified form of civil service examination. retary’s theory is that the technical questions requisite to demonstrate the real fitness of candidates for the position can best be framed and the answers to them examined by men prominent in the ranks of architects, familiar with the needs of the profession and keen to discriminate between real worth and superficial smart- ness in the art. This is probably true. The civil service questions are not always ex- actly fitted to develop the specific talents by the service, though as a rule r the general qualffications and deficiencies of applicants. The Secretary is not necessarily antagonistic to the civil service reform {dea in making this sug- gestion, but rather takes advanced ground on its line, for no better method of dis- covering true merit could be devised than to deprive the government of the chance to secure without delay a better man for the place if possible. What is wanted in this case is the best availeble man for ly accomplished only by a fresh start, which will give the present holder of the office an equal opportunity to prove that he is that man. ———_sc+e-—___—__ ‘The Era of Young America. When Mr. Bryan was nominated at Chi- cago last year the first comment heard after that relating to his eloquent speech related to his age. He was the youngest man cver invested with supreme varty leadership in this country, and, what was more, he had eastly defeated a field of veterans for the honor. The question pro- pounded was, had the democracy decided to turn to its younger men? Events since tend to answer this ques- tion im the affirmative. Mr. Bailey is now the democratic leader in the House at the unusually early age of thirty-three. This recerd is eclipsed only by Mr. Clay, who was Speaker at thirty. And now comes the Chicago democracy and elects a man meyor of that town at the age of thirty- seven. The record, upon the whole, is very remarkable The combined ages of the three foremost men in the party in point of present responsibility and future expectations scarcely exceed one hundred years. Or the republican side also are young men of marked ability and very great promise. Messrs. Dolliver and Cousins of Towa, reckoned among the toremost ora- tors in the House, are both under forty. Mr. Wolcott of Coiorado, as fine an orator 2s the Senate has heard in recent years, is but little past forty. Theodore Roose- velt, who is just re-entering national life, is only about forty. He has distinguished himself both in politics and in Hterature. And there are others. It is an era of young America. Not that men of fifty or sixty are old, for in politics, as in other affairs, men of that age are considered young, and frequently perform when a little advanced in life their greatest services. But the number of very young men who are well to the front, and on the way to the highest goals, is just now un- usually large. Not before for a very long time have so many, so well divided be- tween the two leading parties and distrib- uted as to localities, appeared cn the scene at ene time and found favor in the public eye. The circumstance is in every way note- worthy. The United States is advancing as a nation at 4 splendid pace. Her com- merce is rapidly growing. Her sea power, already considerable, is constantly being increased. Great progress is predicted for the early future. Does this coming era of increased activity accommodate itself to this era of young men? Young men are recommended for action. Shall our poli- tics as well as our progress bear the im- press for some years to come of the stir- ring strife and rivalry of contending coter- ies of young giants? It looks like it. ———_~+ ++ ___ A New York man has gotten into diffi- culty by living exclusively on borrowed money.

It is apparent that the question of Ha- Waiian annexation will soon come up again. Then this country will have to decide whether we shall have everything to do with the Sandwich Islands or nothing. There are arguments for and against an- nexation, but it is manifest that in fair- ness we should either take the islands or abandon altogether our claim to have a voice in the affairs of their people, who ask for permission to come to us. If we decline their offer there will be no justice in arrogating to ourselves the right to forbid them to place themselves under the protection of England, or of any European bower they may incline toward. Even if Japan should attempt to appropriate the group we would not be in a position equit- ably to object to her taking what we have refused to accept. The argument that the preponderance of Asiatics in the population renders it un- wise to include Hawaii in our domain has about the same weight as the objections to the annexation of Cuba on the score of her negro element. In passing it should be said that the Cuban negro makes a good soldier, and is much above the African average in intelligence. But were he all that timid Tory fancy pictures him it would not matter. The addition of Cuba and the Sandwich Islands to our posses- sions as territories would speedily trans- form them by emigration and enterprise into American communities fit to be states. It is not as these two knockers at the door of the United States at present appear that they should be considered, but as they would be certain to be after ten years of secure government under American law. Hoth, in our opinion, should belong to the United States. The military reasons for their annexation are overwhelming, and the commercial reasons are -not less com- manding. The people of Cuba, like the peo- ple of Hawail, are ready to join us. To re- ject them is stupidly to refuse two rich gifts that would add much to our power and wealth. If we will not accept them we should at least not curse the Cubans and Hawaiians with the weight of our assump- tion of supervision over their destiny. 23 —___ A Choice of Evils. From the Philadelphia Press. According to our consular reports small- pox is epidemic at Havana, and as it is in a fair sanitary condition—that is for the Spanish—one can imagine the condition of the rest of the island. It needs but such reports as these to show what a relic of mediaeval ignorance and cruelty. Spanish rule is. Cuba might as well be in ashes as ruled and robbed by Spain. ————— The Mayoralty Fight in Chicago, From the Chicago Times-Herald. ‘There were no national issues involved in the contest. The republicans and demo- crats who rallied around Mr. Harlan's banter did so as a protest against machine politics. ——_+-+-___ The Stay-Away Vote. From the Cleveland Leader. It is barely possible that some of these democratic victories are due to the fact that so many republicans are still board- ing in Washington. a eee FW -——O——————————— heron THE WEEK. The past week was the most critical of the flood period in Louisiana; the Missis- sippi river continued to rise in almost its entire léngth; the President sent a mes- sage to Congress, urging congressional re- lief for the devastated regions of the Mis- sissippi river; it was followed by the adoption of a resolution appropriating $200,000, to be immediately available. The President nominated Col. Alfred E. Buck of Georgia to be minister to Japan, and Brigadier General Frank Wheaton, com- manding the department of Colorado, to be major general. The government demanded reparation for the threat of a Moortsli soldier to shoot Vice Consul Castleton, at Larache, Morocco. More fruitless ballots for a United States senator were taken by the Kentucky legislature. The new battle ship Iowa, in an official speed trial, at- tained a speed of seventeen knots an hour. Elisha Dyer, republican candidate for gov- ernor in Rhode Island, was elected, recetv- ing a plurality of a little more than 10,000. Carter H. Harrison was elected mayor of Chicago by 77,736. In St. Louis the repub- lican majorities ranged from 4,276 to 24,- 038; in Kansas the vote cast by women in the municipal election was large. War- rants were issued in Chicago for the arrest of officers of the defunct Globe Savings Bank on the charge of embezzlement. The charter for greater New York was returned to the legislature with the disapproval of Mayor Strong of New York aid the ap- proval of Mayors Wurster of Brooklyn and Gleason of Long Island City. The New York state senate passed the anti-cartoon bill. Fire at Knoxville, Tenn., caused a loss esti- mated at not less than $1,000,000, and the Probable loss of several lives. D. G. Griffin. who was the gold sgandard democratic nominee for governor of New York last fall, died. Foreign. Brisk fighting took place in the Island of Crete; a force of Greek bandits crossed the frontier into Turkey and encountered the Turkish troops; the anniversary of the declaration in 1821 of the independence of Greece from Turkish rule was enthusiasti- cally celebrated in Athens. Sir William Verron Harcourt, liberal, in the house of commons, said he would move an address to the queen, praying that British forces be not employed against Greece or Crete; Mr. Balfour asked whether this was ir- tended as a motion of cersure; Sir William replied that it was to learn the intentions of the government and obtain the opinion of the house.. The Sultan of the government will pay for all slave legally held. Great Britain seized the In- yack Island, at the entrance of Delagoa bay. The country on the northern lmit of the Transvaal broke out in open revolt. A mob of coolies engaged in an anti-foreign demonstration in Shanghai, China; marines were landed to assist the authorities in maintaining order. Twelve prominent ex- members of the French parliament were in- volved in fresh inquiries into the Panama canal scandals. Dr. Von Stephan, imperial secretary of state for the postal department of Germany, and Andrew J. Garvey, a member of the Tweed gang in New York, and who turned informer, died. In the District. Hearings were conducted before the joint select committee of Congress on the sub- Ject of the District charities; various in- terests were represented and considerable testimony was taken on the subject. Sen- ator McMillan introduced a joint resolution directing the Secretary of War to prepare and submit to Congress by the Ist of next December a project for the reclamation of the Anacostia flats. A bill was introduced in the Senate providing for the extension of the Metropolitan railroad through Mount Pleasant. The Senate appropriations com- mittee decided to retain in the sundry civil bill the appropriation of $10,000 for the re- moval of the gencral post office to the new city post office building when completed. President McKinley appointed Park Agnew of Alexandria collector of interna! revenue for the sixth district of Virginia. The District Court of Appeals decided against the appeal of “Lum” Fearson, sentenced to die April 40 for the murder of John Ford; the court held that there was no force in the opinion of Judge Bradley that the act of January 15 last abolishes all pen- alties for capital crimes committed in the District prior to that date. Certificate holders of the National Life Maturity In- surance Company, living in Marietta, Pa., filed in the District court an application for the appointment of a receiver for that organization, ior which a similar applica- tion had previously been filed by Frank Hume of this city. The new Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, at the corner of 1th and L streets, was formally dedicated. A colored woman named Carrie, Brown, servant at 636 D street northwest, was feund dead in bed, asphyxiated. ——»>+2—___ SHOOTING STARS, A Tinge of Jealousy. “I hear,” said one man, “that the Presi- dent has filled the place that you thought was so well adapted to your capacities.” “You were misinformed,” was the reply, with a manner of studied hauteur; “he has appointed another man to the position, but he hasn't filled it.’ A Significant Circumstance. ‘Tis sprirg! It must be small, alack! The joy that folk get from it, or They’d speak less by the almanac And more by the thermometer.

But I'll have to try something else to se- cure the recognition that I desire.” “What are you going to do?” “Well, one ‘man has denounced hosiery and another has declaimed against the dress coat with brilliant results. I guess I'll go in end make a hit by publicly re- fusing to wear a collar and necktie.” His Suggestion. “It ought to be a rule,” said the person of whimsical ideas, “that no diplomat shall be able to speek the language of the coun- try to which he is sent.” “I don’t quite see the object of that.’ “Then he couldn’t issue anything without having them go through the hands of a translator and getting time to realize just hew they will sound. An Ungallant Philosopher. “TI suppose,” said the man whose hobby is economy, “that as people advance in years they increase in wisdom. But I have my doubts.” “I'm sure that I have more practical views cf hfe than I had some years ago,” replied his wife. “I won't dispute it. But the unalterable fact remains that a seven-year-old girl will be perfectly happy on Easter with a few hard-boiled eggs, which are inexpensive and good to eat, while a twenty-seven-year- old girl cannot exist without a high-priced hat, whose only function is to make some woman jealous in church or some man miserable in the theater.” Misanthropic.
