delight In presidential candidates who are
the proprietors of large and easily-tapped
barrels. From the standpoint. therefore.
o: the sound-money and strongly-American
democrat and the partisan who is careless
as to the character of the platform so long
as the campaign fund shows no signs of
weakness. Mr. Whitney appears to be the
logic OF the situation. 1t is defying prece-
dent and operthrowing history to insist
that Air. Whitney's declination is final.
Wien Grover Cleveland accepted his first
nomination for President. he IL sisted siren
uously that in the eligibility of the Presi-
dent for reelection there existed "a most
serious danger to that calm. deliberate. and
intelligent political action which must
characterize a government by the people"
Since then Mr.. Cleveland has twice suf-
fered nomination, and is now occupying
the presidential chair for the second time
and threatened by the possibility of a
fourth nomination. Why should anyone
despair of bringing about later a radical
change of opinion in Mr.. Whitney. who has
Cnly been Interviewed?

The defenders, paid and unpaid, of Jack
son City and Rossyn are sensitive lest the
good name of Virginia and Washington
shall suffer from the crusade against gam
bling and connected crimes along the Poto-
mac. The ruin brought to thousands of the
young, and to a thousand homes and busi-
ness establishments, through the unas-
sailed existence Of this curse-spot, this blot
upon the fair repute OF Virginia and the
national capital does not concern them. In
their philosophy unexposed vice is neither
an injury nor a reproach to community,
and to uncover and assail the destructive
wickedness which faunts itself in Alexan-
dria county is to abuse Virginia and ira
duce Washington. No reputable citizen,
whose instincts are clean and honest, and
whose tendencies are toward moral better
ment, will be likely to agree with them.

Electricity continues to threaten steam
as motive power on railroads that have
heavy suburban passenger traffic. The Star
has several times called attention to the
tendencies of steam railroad corporations
IN the direction of electricity, a prominent
example being that of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. which will. 1t Is reason-
ably expected. operate between this city
and Alexandria in the near future by over
lead trolley. Now another great corpora
tion-the New York Central-is said to be
seriously considering the proposition to
substitute electricity for steam on the New
York and Putnam Railroad; a line fifty
miles in length, that runs northeasterly
from New York city through the Harlem
valley. 1t is quite likely that the change
of motive power will be entirely unobjec-
tionable for there will be no decrease of
speed and there surely will be increase of
cleanliness and a greater number of trains
On railroad rights of way-provided the
public safety is secured in the same man
ner as If steam were employed-the over
head-trolley system of propulsion is proba-
bly, all right. Its cheapness appeals to the
tenderest sympathies of the railroads. while
Its poles and wires do not interfere with
the ina!ienable privileges of private citi-
HeHS. oHoulu eIectrlc motors be installed on
the New FORK and Putnam road, there soon
may follow direct electrician communica-
ton between New York city and Boston,
for the New York and Putnam would pro-
vide that desirable and necessary some
thing-entrance into New York city. Com
petition between the steam and electric
roads for suburban business must inevlta-
bly, result in electric victory; therefore it
would not be at all surprising Ito meet the
aggressiveness which is being displayed by
a couple of electric companies to the north
of this city, if the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany should also be compelled TO run trains
for some distance up the Metropolitan
branch by the newer and more economical
of electric methods.

The decision of the cabinet adverse to the
closing of the executive departments at 5
O'Clock Saturday afternoons during the hot
weather has been productive of commun.ca-
tions In which exception Is taken to the
ohlcial construction of the statute which Is
quoted as prohibiting any dim!nution in
the hours of departmental labor. Ii is
argued that If the act of March 3, 1893
recognizes the nower of the chief execu-
tive to order a whole holiday, it follows
that the executive may order a half holi-
day or any other fraction of a holiday
But all the power is not vested in the
President. The act says: Provided, the
Reads of departments may. by special order,
stating the reason, further extend or limit
the hours of service of any clerk or en-
ploye In their departments, respectively
but in case of extension it shall be with
out additional compensation" That pro-
viso seems to give to the heads of depart
ments authority to shut up shop when they
please. 1t has never been charged, even
by the least somnolent of all the great pack
OF Treasury 'Watch-dogs," that the custom
OF letting The clerks get away from their
desks little earlier on summer Saturdays
than usual wrought any especial harm to
Uncle Sam or any of his relatives. The
additional relaxation afforded by the extra
hour or leisure meant only small loss, and
perhaps no loss at all. in the total of work
performed. and was probably more than
compensated for by the better spirit that
the clerks acquired under the influence of
generous policy. If it be righteous and
legal to compel the clerks-as has often
been doHe--to work more than the regular
number OF hours each day. then it should
be easy to so construe the act In question

make such aboreviation of one of the six
working days as has been the common
practice for long time past. If the ad-
ministration continues to hold that there
can be no abriG2ement of working time on
Saturdays. then there will be general re-
gret at Secretary Morton's disagreea BILE dis

An American citizen complains that
while on a visit to Germany-his native
land-he was imprisoned and otherwise i'm
properly treated, and finally declared to be
eligible for service in the German army
In spite of his protests, his passport and
his naturalization papers. Ere this the
case has probably been referred to the
State Department, and in the course of
time-the length of the period depending
considerably upon the manner in which the
State Department goes to work-this citi-
zen will probably be released and permitted
to return to the United States. There have
been many such occurrences and, unless
this admins tration makes emphatic declar-
alton to the independence of American
citizenship. there will be many more such
instances. That some phases of the sub
ject demand delicate treatment Is unques-
toned. for it is undoubtedly the fact that
goodly number of Germans have come
to this country and acquired naturaliza-
ton mainly for the purpose of avoiding
the compulsory military service. which Is
SO conspicuous a feature of German eX-
istence; it is also alleged to be the fact
that Immediately after securing naturaiiZa-
ton papers there develops in the new citi-
zen a desire to visit the fatherland. 50 that
he may make boastfu reference to the
manner in which he has exempted himself
But these not unnatural actions cannot
reasonably be taken into consideration
when d great principle is at stake. The
unfair treatment of an American ciIlzen by
the German authorities affords Secretary
Olney an opportunity to enunciate, in such
a manner that there shall be no possibility
of misunderstanding, the doctrine that citi-
zenship by selection outranks citizenship
by the accident of birth, and that the
United States will not permit any improper
interference with the common privileges
of those who have sworn allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes.

mother, who are now in Scotland, stating
their belief after an Investigation that
their sons injuries were not accidentally

Fortune favored the sorrow stricken
parents from the first, when they left New
Yorkfor Europe. The California, uponwhich
they embarked, proved to be the same boat
upon which Dana had taken voyage The
mate Of the California upon being informed
of the purpose OF DR.. Davenport's trip and
being shown a picture of the young man,
readily recognized him as former passeu-
ger. He stated that young Davenport was
