Major Knights Transfer.

Major knight of the Engineer Corps has
been long enough in charge of the Wash
ington Aqueduct to demonstrate his entire
fitness for that duty, and it is unfortunate
for Washington that his own merits now
warrant and the exigencies of the service
demand his transfer to Willett's Point.
From Major knights point of view, of
course, the change is a desirable one, as it
gives him work that will perhaps be more
congenial, and as it indicates a recognition
of his ability by the chief of engineers.
The Washington Aqueduct may not be
compared as a field for progressive scien-
tific work from which "a man can make
reputation with the school of instruction at
Wil1ett's Point, and nobody will be disposed
to blame Major. Knight If he should show
preference for the latter. Yet the matter
of supplying such great city as Wash
ington with water is by no means trifiing
problem, and is worthy of the application
of the best minds. 1t Is fortunate that the
city will got the benefit of Major knights
Judgment in the matter of the test of the
long-useless aqueduct tunnel, which he will
complete before leaving this station. What
ever his recommendations, 1t Is safe to say
that they viii command the confidence of
a majority of the people Of the District, as
they will certainly be based upon the best
of information derived from actual OBJ
servation.

country is not so big as 1t might appear to
be from a glance at the map. 1t Is not Of
ten that a criminal once apprehendcd
wholly escapes from the hands of justice.
for there has been established in this
country after years Of effort well-nigh
perfect system OF cooperation between the
police authorities of the various cities and
states. Developments ut the recent con-
vention held In this city OF the police chiefs
Of the country Indicated the stage of per-
fecticn to which the thief-catching bust
ness has been brought in America. 1t is
very hard for detected wrong-doer to es-
cape. as the waste places in which man
can absolutely hide himself and yet sur
vive are today. exceedingly few in number
and difficult Of access to the fugitive as
well as to his pursuers. On the other hand,

is avoiding the police of any part of the
country to remain any length of time in a
settled community. The Americans have
taken a valuable lesson from the French
in the matter Of the detec ion and capture
Of evil-doers, and thanks to the adoption
Of their system OF Identification the chances
of successful disguise and cCnccalment are
reduced to n minimum.

Miss Martha NJ. Gurnee is today q living
protest and argument against the Sassomers
as business costume for women/> Miss
Gurnee is station agent at Mt Ivy on the
New Jersey and New York railroad and the
other day saved a passenger train from
wreck by using her petticoat as a signal
flag. The station caught fire and burned
to the ground. covering the track alongside
with wreckage sufficient to have derailed
the train. Just before the time for the
arrival of the train Miss Gurnee realized
that all her signal flags had been destroyed
with the station. but being a woman of
expedients she quickly slipped off her petit
coat and her small brother ran up the
track and succeeded, by wildly waving the
garment In the air. in attracting the engl-
neer's attention and bringing the train to
q halt before the place Of danger was
reached The reasoning is strong and I'M
answerable that Miss Gurnee could not
have accomplished the feat Of saving the
train in this manner had she been a new
woman of the bloomer variety.

motor other than the trolley. and 1t has
been intimated that the underground cleo
trio Is the contemplated system and that
negotiations are already under way In re-
spect to its installation. The people Of
Washington reasonably insist, however. on
something more definite and binding
than words They expect to see the
work of constructing the underground
system contracted for and quickly un-
der way, and they want the poles
removed and horses temporarily used
on New York avenue, in the absence Of any
satisfactory Justification of even a tenn
porary federation Of the poles. Tho Com

should help to spur the Commissioners to
action. If they will take 'up the matter In
earnest. as urged repeatedly by The Star.

1t will be seen. from the annual report
of the inspector of gas and meters that
there is more or less of truth in the gen.
eral supposition that gas meters give the
company the benefit of doubt in The mat
ter of measuring the Illuminating material.
Out Of 2.713 meters inspected, 249 regis
tered fast, or in favor Of the company,
against 81 that registered slow, against
the company. The inspector examined $50
meters that were complained of by con-
sumers and of this number 23s registered
fast and so registered slow. While these
figures show that there is no great per-
centage of faulty meters. yet the bulk of
the error is in the interest of the COM
pany. and this shows that there is always
need of strict and rigid inspection such
as 1t is probable the present administra-
ton of the local office assures.

Frauds in Administering the Law.

1t is one thing to secure wisely-framed
civil service law applicable to all the ap-
propriate departments Of the government,
and 1t Is quite another thing to Insure Its
honest and effective administration. Until
human nature shall be, changed by some
miracle there will always be the possibility
of including among the factors of the great
machine made necessary hx such statute
some individuals whose fidelity to the seTv-
ice Is overshadowed by a desire for gain
or for the acquiremept af political prestige.
The most honest commissioners in the
world will always have to contend more or
less with this evil and the present COM
mission is giving good earnest of its inten-
ton to compel a decent administration Of
the law by its action in the recently-dis-
covered case at Erie. Pennsylvania, where,
1t is alleged, the secretary of the local ex
amlning board furnished an Incompetent
applicant for a position with the questions
that were to be asked him, thus enabling
him to secure outside aid prior to the ex
animation and to make an extraordinarily
high percentage, The, secretary of the local
beard has been discharged and is subject to
fine and Imprisonment, but the national
commission seems now disposed to be some
what lenient. The severe handling of this
case might be of great benefit to the service.
To make an example of the wrong -doer at
Erie might go far toward lettering other
evasions or violations of the law elsewhere
The civil service law is too good a thing to
be spoiled by dishonesty.

Shorten the Campaigns.

There seems to be a definite movement
among the politicians toward a much
ne eded reform that has for Its object the
shortening of the presidential campaigns
that quadrenially effect almost paralysis
of the business of the country. This, Of
course. can only be done by the postpone
rnent of the nominating conventions from
May or June until August. or. preferably,
Until September. To be sure, there Is more
CT less commercial unrest in the months
Immediately preceding the convention, but
the absolute reign of politics does not be-
in until the candidates have been named
cNnd the issues have been defined by the
Satforms. 1t was necessary thirty years
Or more ago to prolong the contests over a
period of three or four months. and some
times longer, in order to insure perfect
spread of intelligence regarding the nature
of the issues and the character of the can
ddates among all the people of the ma
ton, scattered as they were over an i'm
mepse territory. as yet poorly equipped
with means of transportation and COM
munication. But the great growth of the
railroad and telegraph system, and. best of
all. the wonderful progress of the Ameri-
can press, have eliminated these conditions
and the America of today is no more diff
cult to canvass as whole than any one of
the states The campaigns in such states
as New York and Pennsylvania are being
shortened each time that there is an cleo
tion, and it is wholly useless to spend
months in foolish reiteration Of charges
and counter-charges, denials and explana-
TORS, when the minds Of the people are
doubtless made up on the subject of prefer
ence for candidates almost Immediately
after the conventions. One factor that will
probably cause a reduction of the cam
paign season before a new century is
reached is the tremendous and ever-grow-
Ag expense. which is furnishing too much
" factor for corrupt practices and too
great menace to the purity of American
politics Mutual agreement by the great
political parties to hold the conventions in
September would be of more practical
value to the country at large than the full
fillment of all the campaign promises ever
made by aspiring candidates.

The first day of the yacht races is a dis
appointment in the matter of the drec-
tion and force of the wind. No one
can tell whether 1t is Defender or Val
kyrie weather. 1t Is not good yachting
weather, at all events. Defender was
led by her rival at tine start, but both boats
proved themselves magnificent racing ma
chimes. The course Is such as to leave the
result in great doubt until a later hour, as
the boats run straight out to sea for ff-
teen miles before turning and running homo
before the wind. But as the sails of the
flying craft go shining out towards the sky
line of the ocean every staunch American
heart beats hopefully for Defender. The
stake Is great one. 1t must be kept at
home. and there is but one wish all over
the country today and that Is that the
Yankee boat will win.
There is apparently no diminutlon of the
general interest in the races this season
Indeed, 1t would seem as though there was
more excitement over the events than ever.
This year the American syndicate have
built magnificent boat that Is met with
the latest production of English genius,
aided by certain ideas adopted, after years
or defeat. from the western shores of the
Atlantic. In the light of the past, the
pending contests seem likely to be the most
calamity fought of all the races of late
years The boats are more nearly alike
and the two nations, so far as yachting Is
concerned, are more nearly than ever on
al, equal plane. These races are giving
tremendous stimulus all over this country
to good, honest. healthy sport.
Yachting by gentlemen, for modest tro-
phies. free from the faint of professional
ism or gambling, can indeed be called the
most glorious Of sports. Great credit is due
to the enthusiastic young men OF wealth
who have given of their time and means
for the production of defenders of the cup.
and whether the victory lies with Valkyrie
or Defender these men will be honored by
their countrymen. Lord Dunraven, too, has
proved himself to be sportsman of the
finest type, and a mos. honorable competi-
tor. Fe and his American antagonists have
done much towards elevating international
yachting to the very highest plane.
