THE EVENING “STAR re r and permanent Family Circulation — more than the combined cir- m of the other Washington aatiies. As a News and Advertising no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of perso: absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed vidual connected with the simply to THE STAR, or to ial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. It would seem from some of the public comments upon the nomination of Messrs. Ross and Wight as District Commissioners that there is a decided misapprehension ‘among some people, notably among certain congressmen, as to the real character of the local form of governnient. There Is no law that requires that the civil commis- sioners should be chosen from opposing po- Ntical parties. It has been a custom, to be sure, to do this, but this very custom origi- nated in the purpose to make the local government non-partisan in its character. This inspiration has proved most bene- ficial to the District in every way. It has saved the community from the evils that befall modern cities ruled by political bosses and has given to Washington the best municipal government in this country if not in the world. The administration of local public affairs is clean and pure. Every dollar of the public money is expended honestly and directly for the purposes for which it was appropriated. There is no di- version of funds for private or political Jobs or purposes: contracts are made with to economy and good results; the selected for office and no ap- pointments are given to mere party heelers amd! strikers. It is because of this non- partisanship of Kovernment, with its resultant good effec that people of wealth, culture and refine- ment are coming here from all parts of the y to make this city their home. It is one of the most beautiful capitals world. There is everything here to @ great and desirable population, r present conditions this city to become a center of learning, literature and art. It is because he non-partisan character of the public aiministration jat the public schools of the District regarded throughout the country as models, and that there are con- i wee them none of the scandals pwing of their mis-management and immorality of the governing methods ‘hool boards so notorious in other cities thy ticians. This di- »f the schools from politics leads to a stem of s teachers, and ‘h them to a better range and quality of instruction. is because the is governed by a on-partisan board of commissioners that its citizens enjoy clean streets, good pave- today the ir att and un destined of are ments and good order, maintained by a non-partisan police force. It is be- of the non-partisan nature of the ‘* management that the force, though ly inadequate in numbers to cover the st territory of the District, is yet able to maintain order and to reducé to a mini- mum the danger to the lives and property viduals. considerations appeal to all citizens alike. They appeal especially to taxpayers, who feel that under such circumstances their money is not wasted, but is producing its rightful results. They enjoy the various benefits that have been briefly mentioned and they, perhaps, do not stop to realize that they spring from the non-partisan scheme of local government. The civil commissioners, chosen for their personal worth and fitness for the office, represent the whale people of the District. Their ied! teridehetes are the least factors in ideration. They are aided in the discharge of their duties by a non-partisan er commissioner, appointed from the ar army, who can not have any strong al leanings from the very nature of professtoh. Under these circumstances ef partisanship and politics that has feebly raised by a few is a Wretched pretense that can not possibly be taken inte account by those whose duty it now is to confirm the President's nomina- tons. ery been oo ‘The President's View of Home Rule. ‘The President is reported as having spoken at-daston the subject of home rule for the District and the territories, and in such plain terms that he cannot possibly be misunderstood by the place hunters. He is quoted as replying thus to a representa- tive who approached him in behalf of a constituent who desired a place as gov- ernor of one of the territories: “Under no circumstances would I feel justified in going outside of a territory or of the District of Columbia for a man to fill “n office therein, so lang as a suitable man for the appointment to be made can be found there.” No friend of home rule could ask for a More definite or satisfactory interpretation of that plank in the republican platform which declares in favor of permitting the people of the territories and the District to have a voice in their own government. This is particularly gratifying just at this time, when several local offices are in the balance and the city is filled with candi- dates for them from the great outside. The aspirants for the place of recorder of deeds are as thick as flies around a molasses jug in summer time. They come from several states, with a slight preponderance of tal- ent from North Carolina. The marshal- ship. too, is attracting the attention of the faithful of Ohio and elsewhere. The dis- trict attorneyship has aroused the hopes of many 4 lawyer from the great beyond. ‘The assessorships, the judgeships, the place of superintendent of police, superintendent of street sweeping, dogcatchership, and so on down the lne—all have been theoret- feally passed around with generous hands and without the least regard for the feel- ¢ people of the Dis- ‘ying now to the lat- appointing to the aspfrants from to hear the President record himself as opposed to this sort of thing. Mr. McKinley makes the sole qualification that persons capable of filling the places shall be found within the territories and condition that will not alarm of the capitai in the least, for an abundance of good material here for the performance of public duties. The District cheerfully accepts the proviso laid down by the President, and hopes to see him hold fast to his praiseworthy de- termination. —_——- + «+___ President McKirley’s method of meeting the cost of a pleasure trip is in line with the pay-as-you-go policy which he declared during the campaign. seo _ Do hey Regret the Choice? If reports are true, those sound money Gemocrats who are iv cat 2 dinner together in New York next week will on that occa- sion deliver a message of some interest to the’ country. Several men of note are on the cards for speeches, and the Dingley bill, it is understood, will be the subject of dis- cussion. The contention of some of the sound money democrats who assisted directly or indirectly in the success of the republican party last fall is that the Dingley bill is a “slap in the face” to them. It is, they as- Sext, doth an insult and a violation of good faith. The republicans could not have guc- is ceeded without their ald, and when by that aid they did succeed they became at once bound to consider their invaluable allies in whatever course in the matter of legislation they might map out. Instead of that, in Preparing the Dingiey bill they have not only ignored their allies but actually placed them in a position of insupportable embar- Tassment. The republican reply to this arraignment is certainly logical, and it seems to be suf- ficient. The republicans by no means con- cede that their success at the polis was due to democratic assistance. They express ap- preciaticn of the assistance they received, but instead of acknowledging their allies as their saviors they look upon them as men to whom they have given shelter in great stress of circumstances. The gold demo- crats last year abandoned their home. They declared themselves unable longer to live there under the new regulations that had been prescrived. They became, for the time, wanderers. Some of them repaired to the republican roof and were admitted. They remained there while the storm raged, without suggestion of any kind as to the premises. But now the republicans are asked to re- model their premises. These guests—taken in, as the republicans claim, out of the wet—are no longer satisfied with their lodg- ings or their entertainment. They want the establishment changed to suit their tastes, and then run according to their sugges- tions. It is very unlikely that this will be done. Put in their own phrase, it may be said that the sound money democrats last year made a choice of evils. They were opposed alike to protection and to free silver. They virtually chose protection. And protection it is, both for them and for the country. Does free silver now appear to them as the lesser of the two evils? ———~+ += __ Smoke and Storms, Among the bills relating to local- measures left unpassed by the iast Congress and since reintroduced is that which provides for the abatement of the smoke nuisance in this city. It is the more urgent bi cause the evil which it is designed to de- strey has not yet assumed such propor- ticns as in some other cities, and the rem- edy is therefore ihe easier of application. There are comparatively few instances of unscientific stoking in Washington, with the resultant streams of Slack, disfiguring smoke and accompanying odors, but tie cases that exist have already aroused a great deal of complaint. The Star has referred heretofore to the observations of certain meteorologists who believe that the presence of smoke in the air above citics hes an effect on the temperature and the general features of the clima It now comes to notice that a German scientist has reached a conclusion in this regard, based en long extended observations which serve to demonstrate that storms at Berlin and other large cities show a maximum fre- quency on Thursdays and a minimum on Mondays. Other averages based on Ger- man records go to establish this ratio of frequency, and it is asserted that the cause of the phenomenon is that the gradual charging of the atmosphere with smoke and smoke particles from factory furnaces as the week continues leads to conditions that give rise to storms. The cessation of the furnaces Sundays leaves the air free to clear itself, and the accumulation pro- cees begins again with Monday morning. Of course this refers chiefly to manufac- turing centers, such as Washington will probably never become, but it is important tc bear it in mind in the consideration of the smoke nuisance problem. It may be that the public health is in no wise affected by this factor, but the surcharged state of the atmosphere is assuredly unnatural and its relief migit prove of great benefit to human life. ————— ‘The recent remittance of $15 to the Treas- ury Department's conscience fund is rather teo small to be inferentially set down to the credit of the institution known as the bond syndicate. —_+ +e —___ A novelist has recently been sued for adhering too closely to facts.
