THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1897-24 PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY ... CROSBY S. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family C! much more than the com culation of dailies. Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no compet avoid delays, on ac- 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. A Martyr on Paper. The letter which Mr. Gorman has ad- dressed to the editor ef the Baitimore Sun is of those smooth deliverances for which its author is famous. His expressed concern is for the welfare of the demo- cratic party of Maryland. His real concern is for the polit welfare of Arthur P. Gorman. Pr.tinting to te willing to take himself out of the senatorial contest, he sockets h'mself more firmly than ever in it. If there was the least occasion before for beileving him possessed of the stuff of which martyrs are made, nothing of that occasion remains now. ‘The letter is, of course, a trick, Gorman- esque in conception and execution. As a matter of fact, Mr. Gorman has neither the desire nor the power to retire from the field. Putting it in the old form, he would not retire if he could, and he could not if he would. He is the isste this year. The present democratic organization in Mary- and revolves around him. If he were re- moved or even his power materially dimin- ished, smash would come to all within the radius of his control. The first note heard from his camp in reply to his proffer of personal effacement is one of earnest, adulatory protest. He should not have thought of such a thing. The offering, he is assured, is characteristic, but it must one Rot be accsptei. The party cannot afford it. He is the only pebble on the beach, the Eastern Shore included. The democ- racy of Maryland would toddle to swift destruction without his guiding hand. It is not to be supposed that the anti- Gorman democrats of Maryland will be deceived by this maneuver. They know Mr. Gorman. They are fighting not only the political leader, but the man also. They consider that everything done under his direction is done largely for his tenefit, and they ire to see an end made to al! that, and, politically, an end made to him. Ttere is but one safe course for them to pursue, and that is to continue to fight not only him, but everything bearing his brand or Wearing his collar. Mr. Gorman is not of the retiring kind. A fish would live as long out of water as would Mr. Gorman out of politics. It is useless to examine Mr. Gorman’s letter for evidence as to what ‘he expe:ts at the polls in November. He may be di couraged or he may te very conficent. This letter will do him no harm, no matter what the situation in the state may be. He is simply, as usual, playing politics. If he s he will hold aloft this proffer of mar- rdem. If he wins his friends will not permit the martyrdom. The old phrase still holds gocd. Mr. Gorman is a very smooth citizen. ———_-+ e —___ The Ounce of Prevention Lacking. A murder of atrocious brutality was com- mitted in this city yesterday under circum- stances which indicate that the crime might Eave been prevented by the application of Vigorous treatment of the murderer in the past by the Police Court. This man has tor a long time been krown to beat the victim of his murderous rage. She bore his treatment uncomplainingly, though it would seem that she knew that her life was in danger. But the state of affairs between notorious among their acquaint- the sister of the dead woman was ferced to ask the police for protection for the victim. Even then the woman refused to complain in court, and the police contented themselves with warn- ing her that unless she prosecuted him she t good treatment from him. she been compelled to go to court, had the case been regarded as worthy of prose- cution notwithstanding her refusal to com- plain, had the interests of the community and the cause of good behavior and good morals been regarded rather than the per- sonal: predilections of the individual suf- ferer, yesterday's crime would doubtless Pave been averted. The lower courts should at all times be regarded as aids to justice by seeking to prevent crime rather than by merely punishing it. The woman might readily have been subpoenaed and compelled to appear in court, or the testimony of neighbors snd others to whom the tacts were well known would amply suffice in se of flagrant brutality. sent policy of the criminal courts tends toward the most severe punishment that the law allows in the case of persons cenvicted of murderous assaults. The Star tas already called attention to the neces- sity of an adoption of this same policy by the prosecutors of the police courts, if the laws that are intended to prevent such crimes ure to have due measure of force in the District. This case emphasizes the wisdom of such a course. ——__ +e ___ Continuous Rails In Washington. It appears from a letter printed elsewhere today from an official of the Capital Trac- tion Company that this corporation has in @ measure anticipated the demand for the use of a continuous rail by welding two thousand joints on the 7th street branch of the road. This operation, which had es- caped recollection, was at the time wholly in line with the company’s general policy of adopting the latest successes in the way of rapid transit, just as {t has adopted the underground electric system in its present emergency. It is gratifying to know that it is the intention of the company to use the same device when the new rails are laid on the other branches in completing the underground electric equipment. Doubt- less the company will utilize the latest im- provements of the continuous rafl system, which tend, according to the information utilized by The Star in its comments of yesterday, to reduce the surface jars even further than has been accomplished in the case of the 7th street line, in which there are occasional surface joints. ——- +e —__ Perhaps Mr. Gorman did not stop to con- sider that his course was certain to in- crease very materially the demand for copies of the Baltimore Sun for the next tew days. ——>+=—____ The warmth of Mr. Gardiner’s remarks nu reform appears to have upset the calcu- lations for October weather. —_——_++e—____ This Year and Next. ‘The campaign in Greater New York is the most striking campaign of the year. Begun upon lines purely of local bearing. &t Las parsed far beyond those bounds, and ft tq hardly too much to say that it pos- sesses an interest and importance now in eacess of many of the state contests. The people of every section of the country are watching it. ‘The question originally related only to good government for the new municipality. It seemed only necessary for the men of responsibility to get together to secure that. They were known to be in the ma- Jority. The enemy was Tammany Hall, cut of power and discredited. But divi- sions set up, and on both sides. Those weeking good government and those seck- ’ races TEETER TER EERE REE RRR oneeeeemeneennine eee a ing merely the tempting flesh pots, alike fell out among themselves, and are alike now engaged in a furious wrangle. Na- tional issues have crept in, outside speak- ers of naticnal reputation have entered the campaign, and as a consequence the re- sult at the polls is certain to exert a na- tiunal influence. The friends of seund money at a dis- tance naturally view this situation with a sort of wonder. In no other quarter of the country are people more interested in pre- serving the fruits of last year’s victory than in New York. Property interests there are enormous, and business conaec- tions extend all over the world. How wil it be possible for business interests there and elsewh>re to escape injury, and maybe very serious injury, if Greater New York falls into the hands either of Tammany Hall or of the Georgeites? Tammany stands for all that menaces good order and integrity through boodling and other forms of corruption, while Mr. George and his followers stand for policies which if intro- duced into the American system, city, state, or ational, would revolutionize the existing order of things. A new house of representatives is to be chosen mext. It will be a very important official body. It witl assemble in December, 1890, and its work will have a bearing on the Presidential campaign of 1900. The friends of sourd morey ought to control that body if possible. It will require very hard work on their part to do so. The friends of unsound money—both the silver- ites of the Bryan type, atid the fiat money men of the George type—will be active. Ought the great financial citadel of the country te be surrendered on the eve of such a battle? New York state will elect thirty-four members of the next House, and every one of tiem ought to be a sound money man, bui if Greater New York falls into the hands of the enemies of sound money such a result will be impossible. ———\>+2s—____ Mr. Gorman's Tribute to Reform. ‘The citizens of Washington are deeply in- terested in that portion of Senator Gor- man’s letter to the Baltimore Sun that deals with the civil service question. They know Mr. Gorman well in his capacity as a spoilsman, and they are not surprised to hear him now declaring his opposition to the merit system. His words on this sub- juct are curiously framed. He admits that he voted for the bill, against his judgment, and he has since become convinced of his “error.” Has he found that the civil ser- vice system as it has developed is not suf- ficiently flexible for his partisan purposes? Or dees he base his disappointment on more broadly national lines of patriotism and statesmanship? The subject is well worth some expansive explanations by Mr. Gor- man, without which it must be believed that he has never been other than a spoils- man. This supposition is justified in a Measure by the senator’s qualifications. He believes that there should be no life tenure, save in judicial positions, though he admits that the best bases of selection for public office are honesty and capacity. He does not explain why it should then be necessary for the people to “change their public servants” at “stated and fixed per- icds™ if the system of selection be founded vpcn merit. He thus indicates a faith in a scrt of intermittent civil service, accommo- ating first one set of efficient citizens with the public pap, and then moving on to another set of supposedly equally efficient citizens, and so on, ad infinitum. It is something to know, according to Mr. Gor- man himself, that he believes that persons in public employ should be free from polit- ical assessments. His lieutenants have not always held to this tenet, however, and they will doubtless now feel rebuked for thelr partisan zeal. The sum and sub- Stance of Mr. Gorman‘s view of civil ser- vice reform is that it is a good enough thing in theory, but utterly impractical from his standpoint, which has never been other than that of a working machine pelitician. No higher tribute to the value of the system could be desired by its most zealous friends. —+++___ Tammany’s New Rallying Cry. Tammany has fourd an epigrammatic if not,clegant war cry in the words with which Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, its candi- date for the office of district attorney, re- cently criticised the street sweeping depart- ment: “To hell with reform!” New York is now ringing with this phrase. It is a crystallization of the Tammany doctrine, So apt and expressive that if Col. Gardiner succeeds in nothing else this year he will at least have the somewhat dubious honor of having coined an historic shibboleth. It is an inelegant, coarse, brutal declaration of a wholly unworthy doctrine of govern- ment. It typefies the hungry tiger lying in wait for its prey. It suggests the appe- Ute of the spoilsmen for office. It sounds the note of rapacity in every department of admiristration. It challenges the merit system, the regulation of the disorderly elements, the scrutiny of the liquor traffic, the discipline of the police—all the prin- ciples of decent government. In five words it expresses the whole of Tammany’s plat- form. it was probably an indiscreet utterance, regretted soon after it was spoken. It has been denied, but it is believed, and the de- nials are fruitless. Sometimes these slips of the tongue indicate more of a candi- date’s reat meaning and motive than the most elaborate speech he may make. In the case of Col. Gardiner he has had the misfortune to run for office in a campaign marked by the keenest interest on the part of the people, and to stand for a party that is already under grave suspicion of being in the race solely and almost avowedly for the spoils. From now on he will probably find himself a storm center, with his al- ready famous phrase flung aloft as a signal to rally the hungry of Tammany Hall and to anger the respectable elements of the metropolis. It now remains to be seen whether Greater Gotham will act upon Col. Gardiner’s suggestion and consign reform to the resting place that this indiscreet candidate mentions in his soldierty fashion. ——_—-+-« —__ Mr. Gorman’s letter appears in the ad- vertising columns of the Baltimore papers. ‘They doubtless regard it as purely private and personal matter. —>+e—___ If New York and the yellow kid keep that sort of thing up much longer Miss Cisnercs may be taking the first steamer back to Recojidas. —_++-_____ Sweet are the uses of adversity. Virginia Proposes to set her convicts to raising sugar beets. ——+>+e—____ Overcontidence in Iowa. The chairman of the Iowa republican state committee sounds the alarm of over- confidence in that state. He fears that the republicans are taking too much for grant- ed. The more prominent speakers are addressing large audiences, but the local speakers are not so fortunate. The pzople are not turning out as they should. They are not indifferent as to the result at the polls, but they seem to be assuming that the republicans are sure to win, and this is giving an air of listlessness to the cam- paign. Chairman McMillan points out the danger of the situation. He does not doubt re- publican success, but he wants to see that success pronounced. A small majority, as he considers, would hardly be a triumph at all. He insists that the full vote should again come out, and in this way testimony be given that the cause of sound money in Iowa ts as dear to the people this year as it was last year. It is certainly quite as important to them. This admonition is worthy of attention everywhere. The vote for sound money this year in all the states where elections are held should show a healthy. survival of the interest awakened last year. Dolfar wheat is a great blessing, and the farmers deserve it, but it should not make them careless about going to the polls this year. Many of them, there is reason to believe, now see matters in a very different light from that which governed their vote for President last year, and they owe it to themselves to record their change of view at the polis. Nor should business men— merchants, bankers, manufacturers and all —forget that what was gained in Novem- ber last with their assistance deserves and requires careful protection, and must of necessity be short-lived unless it receives that protection. Their place is at the polis, this year the same as last, and if they neglect their duty, either through indif- ference or overconfidence, they will leave little to account for all their activity in the presidential campaign. The vote of this year can hardly be ex- pected to be as large as the vote of last. But it ought not to be permitted to show a heavy falling off. We are already, by general acknowledgment, on the skirmish line of the next presidential battle, and the sound money forces should be kept weil organized and at all times effective. ——_—_+-+«—___- Anybody who doubts that “strong drink ig raging’ can be convinced by noting the dispute between young Mr. Logan and the Chicago temperance people. —___+ e+ ____ General Weyler is disposed to follow the example of John L.

SHOOTING STARS. Cash and Credit. “That young man deserves a great deal of credit for the way in which he managed your campaign,” remarked Senator Sor- ghum’s friend. “He deserves more than credit,” replied the senatcr, reaching for his check book. “He deserves cash.” if The Important Point. “I want reform,” asserted he, The statesman grave and bland; “But I'm determined it shall be My own especial brand.” Unfortanat “There's the wood pile,” significantly suggested the housewife when Meandering Mike applied for a repast. “Madam,” he replied, “dis here is one o’ de mos’ melancholy coincidents dat ever happened. I’m de president of de ‘Socia- tion of Wandering Woodchoppers, an’ it ain't been mor'n two minutes since I de- clared a general strike Overlooked. “About how many votes do you think your candidate will get?” inquired the New York politician's friend. “To tell you the truth, none of us have thought of that. We have been so busy trying to take the votes from one another that we haven't figured on who was going to get them.” In Doubt. “I don’t know exactly what I had better do with this advertisement,” said the man in the newspaper business office. “A poli- ticlan wants to put in a long statement of his grievances as paid matter. How shall I classify it?” “I guess,” replied the cashier, after some study, “we had better put it under the caption ‘help wanted.’” The Culminating Woe. October rhapsodies are due. The blooms we loved are lost. Skies should be gray instead of blue And we should sing of frost. Once more the sere and yellow leaf Is rustling ‘neath our tread. All garnered is each generous sheaf. The sumimertime has fied. Oh, autumn day, grief-stricken men By you are most dismayed When the mercury starts up again For 90 in the shade. — > —___ Let Every Vehicle Be Lighted. From the New York Herald. When the board of aldermen at last woke up to the fact that in all well-conducted cities of the world all vehicles are com- pelled to carry lights after dark, they were persuaded that New York should no longer be behind the age; but in passing an ordi- nance to this effect the board deliberately exempted all licensed trucks from the pro- visions of the act. Why? The truckman, either in daylight or darkness, is the most notorious of- fender against the rights of the road. It is capable of proof that a large majority of street accidents to bicyclists, pedestrians, cars and carriages have been caused by careless or reckless truck drivers. Why, in attempting to father a necessary reform, do our city fathers ignore the very essence of the reform? If there were any hardship or expense in- volved in showing a common oil lamp or lantern after dark there might be politics or pity involved in this exception in favor of truckmen; but there is none. The truck- men should be made to light up, like every one else. The poorest toiler of the sea car- ries his lights as much for self-preserva- tion as to protect others. —__ + 0-e —_____ Look to the Water Supply. From the Philadelphia Press. The pollution of one spring from which @ water company at Maidstone, England, drew its water supply has so far resulted in over 1,400 cases of typhoid fever, and, in consequence, life in the little town is com- pletely disorganized, and it has become a regular sick camp. If small town officials in this country want an example Maid- stone certainly affords an eloquent text from which to preach a warning sermon. In connection with this it is interesting to note that the London Speaker would take @ short cut to sanitary reform by prose- cuting the responsible officials. If that should be applied in this country the water supplies of many cities now poliuted would be changed for the better. Even derelict councilmen might filter Schuylkill water in @ jiffy if damage suits for typhoid cases were laid at their doors. —__ + = _____ Mason and Dixon’s Line Vanishing. From the Atlanta Constitution.

With the utmost confidence in the genial quality of her climate and the labor enriching fertility of her soil, the south extends a cordial invitation to rest- less and dissatisfied spirits in all sections to come into her midst and aid her in de- veloping her marvelous resources. —_++e—_____ * John L. a: Josiah, From the Baltimore American.
