If baseball Is to maintain Its place as
the national game it will have to be con-
Quoted on higher plano than it is moving
on this season. Every club in the league
Is, to a greater or less extent, engaged in
trying to win games not by playing the
best ball it can but by trying to bulldoze
the umpires into deciding adversely to the
umpires' beliefs. Baseball has more en-
thusiastic admirers than any other variety
of athletic sport, and II 1t is fairly and
squarely conducted 1t offers to those who
make business of 1t large financial re-
compense. If for no other reason than q
selfish one the magnates of the game
should Immediately have their employees
understand that quibbling at the umpire's
decisions and hurting foul epithets at him
and threatening him with physical violence
will result in serious trouble for the in
dividuals who indulge in such misbehavior.
Patrons of baseball do not derive enjoy
ment from the wrangling and other i'm
proprieties now much too common on the
diamond

utterly impossible. The sanguine American
of today is somewhat inclined to imagine
that there is no such thing as a limit to
human ingenuity: he is confident that aerial
flight and submarine voyages will come in
the near future just as easily as the tele-
phone and the telautograph came; he has
confidence that some of these days a SCI
enlist will discover the means by which
human life may be heightened and the
American mans capacity for work and for
making money doubled or quadrupled. AS
to the ways and means which will enable
one to travel from Washington to New
York in less than an hour and half the
people generally know nothing, but they
are willing to believe that the feat can lie
accomplished when it Is promised by such
a combination of wealth and mechanical
skill as the one which is now intent upon
the creation Of astonishing speed in rail-
road transportation. Temporary failure
of the corporations named to adjust things
to their liking will not seriously delay the
projects already preached.

In spite of the opposition of spoilsmen
the movement toward local civil service
reform has made steady progress. An un-
fortunate weakness in the civil service
law made it impossible for the President to
bring the employees of the District govern
ment within the scope of the benefcent
legislation which has, even in a compare
lively brief period, wrought SO much of
good. There was nothing, however, to
prevent the District Commissioners from
ordering that the principles of the civil
service reform should be consistently ap-
piled within their Jurisdiction and to that
wise course they sometime ago committed
themselves. Now they have Joined hands
with the civil service commission to such
an extent that hereafter the examinations
for appointment or promotion will be con-
Quoted by the commission. This action on
the part of the Commissioners is altogether
praiseworthy, for 1t Is only short step
to a specific congressional enactment
which will render 1t impossible for a spoils
board of commissioners-should there ever
be such-to overthrow what has been done.
In Its willingness to assist the District
Commissioners, the civil service commits
sion has given additional evidence of its
sincerity In the work of freeing the pub
lie service from the clutches Of the spells
politician.

Michael F. Dwyer. the well-known turf
man, has returned to this country after
an experimental and costly sojourn in Eu-
rope. Mr.. Dwyer went to England. in COM
pany with Richard Croker five months ago
for the purpose of getting hold of some
of the American gold which Americans
scatter so lavishly while touring in the old
world. That his plans came to naught is
something for which Mr.. Dwyer cannot be
held responsible; he did his level best to
reform English racing methods in his
own interest, but his efforts were not ap-
preciated by those whom he endeavored
to educate. Perhaps there was combina-
ton against the Dwyer-Croker outfit, but
whether there was or was not, Mr. Dwyer
announces that those people whom he
imagined were an easy mark" succeeded
in getting away from him his entire string
of horses save only one. Hereafter Mr..
Dwyer will probably confine himself to
money-making effort at home; he under
stands American methods and will doubt
less recoup within little while the losses
consequent UPON his trip to England.

1t is evidence of -broadened minds
that only a few Americans seem to regard as
even remarkable the proposition to propel
trains by electricity at rate of something
like one hundred and fifty miles an hour.
Some time ago, when the Westinghouse
Electric Company and the Baldwin Loco
motive Company endeavored to consolidate
under one management, it was officially
announced that revolution of rapid-transit
methods was contemplated. One of the off,
GERS of the company said:
1.-THE combination is to develop the pos
sbilites of the Tesla motor as applied to
the railway service. I intend to make It
possible to ride from New York to Pitts
burg in three hours. With the Tesla motor
We are assured power to draw a car at the
rate of $50 miles an hour or more. The
only thing now Is to get cars and car
wheels that will stand the strain of travel
ing at that rate Of speed. The Baldwin
people assure us that this can be DONE
OF this statement there has been general
acceptance because We have become ac-
customed to the doing of those things
which only few years ago seemed to be

Any proposition likely to result in i'm
provement Of the postal service Is deserv-
ing Of support; therefore The Star has
commended most heartily the plan which,
would locally utilize street-car lines in Or
der that there may be greater number OF
collections and deliveries at remote points
of the District of Columbia. The plan has
been thoroughly tested in other cities
where the necessities were even greater
than they are here, and has been in every
sense satisfactory; there is therefore nc
reason why 1t should not work well in the
District of Columbia.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-08-16

In connection with the most recent of the
deaths at the city post-office building, 1t
has been suggested that so far as may be
possible the building regulations Of the
District of Columbia should apply to all
buildings within that Jurisdiction, whether
they are erected for private individuals or
for the general government. Quite possibly
such an innovation would meet with OPP
position from the federal authorities in
charge of federal architecture and con-
struction, but the opposition could count
upon having to contend with public senti-
ment probably powerful enough to ulti-
mately result in vigorous enforcement of
thu local laws which have been OR may be
framed for the purpose of affording all pos
sible protection to those who are employed
upon local edifces. Really there should
not be any clash between the federal and
the municipal for the governmental con-
ditions at the national capital are unlike
those of any other city in the country.
Here the municipal is federal, and in very
many instances the federal is municipal.
The President of the United States and
Congress, either directly through the
three Commissioners to whom certain
powers are delegated, rule absolutely, so
there is no sufficient reason why building
the majority of cases should not be applied
to all buildings. The logic of this conclu-
sion Is materially strengthened by the fact
that when death ensues on a federal build
Ing as the result Of the neglect or ignor-
ance Of some official or contractor, legal
cogniZance is taken of the occurrence by
the coroner. who Is. strictly speaking, a
municipal official, while the jury of citi-
zens summoned by the coroner constitutes
a body organized under municipal law. If
the coroner and his juries may make
searching inquiry into such happenings as
that which last week cost an employee at
life, and may imprison any federal official
or contractor who may to them appear
blameworthy, then surely the District
Commissioners, to whom the coroner Is
subordinate, and by whom he may be re-
moved at any time, should have the right
to insist that the safeguards they deem
necessary in the building of municipal and
private ediices shall be supplied on struc-
lures that are being put up by federal au-
thority. There will be no improper inter-
ference with the plans of the supervising
architect of the Treasury Department; he
will have at .east all Of the rights that
adhere to unofficial architects, and would,
in case the regulations were carefully
obeyed, be relieved entirely of such Ie-
sponsibility as comes from the untimely
decease of men who in their endeavors to
earn honest livelihood are willing to take
risks much greater than they should be
permitted to take.

That was an odd conceit of the New
York Herald, to report a speech made by
Theodore Roosevelt and to make the per-
sonal pronoun conspicuous by printing it in
bold-face type. The oddity Of the effort to
minimize Mr.. Roosevelt by attempting to
convict him of egotism strikes with full
force when it is remembered that the per-
sonal pronoun is used in the news columns
of the Herald just as though one man
wrote every thing in the paper.

What Chaucer Might Have Said.

From the Chicago Dispatch.
"Oh, stringe a trolley wire down We streete,"
Ye reaper cried, as he paused for breath;
Ye reaper's face was grizzled and old,
/ wOt ye know that hys name is Death.
"Oh, stringe me trolley wire down We streete, ~
Ye echo brought back the woesOma cry;
NAY, stringe wire, for. it were not mete
That men and women and children die"
For rough is the hand Of the reaper old,
And fast is the speed of the flashing car;
No raylet of light In quiet of night
Fer flashed so swiftly from star to star.
"Oh, stringe me trolley wire down We streete,''
We old mamie cryed, with an icy breathj
But We people arose and said him naye,
For wot they well that hys name was Death.

attend theaters, etc. Those who go for that
purpose should stay away. The resort
would be much better off without them.
