’ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1889. tne fullest Local Circulation ny Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium ix worth More than all the other papers published in Washington. eee ‘The law against the importation of labor un- der contract is too broad to please most people, Bince as construed by the courts it shuts out such laborers as ministers; and is not sufti- ciently broad to suit a few people since it does not protect such laborers as actors from for- eign competition. It is unsatisfactory to every- body. It is easily evaded by the class of immi- grants against whom it is aimed by the device of refraining from making a formal contract un- til after they have landed,and by caution on their part in answering questions concerning the eircumstances of their immigration. It finds its most frequent application by being sprung Bnexpectedly in cases where it can serve no ‘useful purpose, and which arise mostly when the contracts with foreigners are of sucha character that it occurrs to noone of the parties that there is a probibitory law which must be évaded. An English minister is forbidden to come here under contract with a New York con- Sregation. A Swiss expert designing to enter the service of an American manufacturing com- pany. by the aid of whose superior knowledge e@certain industry is to be extended, so that employment will be given to hundreds of addi- tional workmen, is ruled out by Collector Magone. The class of workmen whom it is de- sired to exclude come by the hundred in spite Of the law. The law needs mending. It should be less’comprehensive in scope, and be stronger and better enforced in the cases to which it properly applies, oe ‘The illegal telegraph poles in New York con- tinue to fall before the city’s axe. Grant will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer, and as his battle is that of the people he may find justification in precedents for dreaming of @ governorship or a presidency as the victor’s reward. The great corporations when called npon to obey laws regulating their conduct in the interest of the public are ever fertile in excuses forrefusal and in grounds of delay. The law must be enforced and boldness under such circumstances is the great virtue in fnunicipal authorities. Chicago was compelled to quicken the removal of the overhead wires by active assistance to the telegraph company in chopping down the poles. followed suit. New York has Other cities will catch the idea appearance and safety in stance by interested corporations “there is nothing so conciliating as a little Beverity.” The attention of the police department is ealled to the complaints heard on every side about the small boy with his new toy gun. This latest petty engine of destruction is a wooden affair which propels good sized leaden shot with tremendous force. It will a bird at quite a distance, put out human e and break window panes. If the boys would use their guns in the proper places, and avoid pointing them at objects which ean be seriously damaged by the missile. there would be no oc- casion for stopping their sport; but the dan- gerous nuisance which this form of amuse- ment has become through the recklessness of most of the shooters, seems to call for prompt and complete suppression. Several children have already been hurt and much property destroyed, and the new gun has taken rank as the legitimate successor of the toy pistol which was forcibly tabooed in every self-re- specting community a few years ago. An order should go forth forbidding the use of the gun within the city limits. a The advice of Tux Star to the man who has contemplated playing the role of O®ahoma colonist and of entering upon a struggle with Winchester rifles to be the lucky one of ten com- petitors to hold an Oklahoma homestead, has been the same as that of Punch to those con- templating matrimony: “Don't!” It has not been able to perceive the wisdom of abandon- ing homes and occupations in the east and passing over cheap and good lands in the immediate vicinity of their city in order to en- gage in this dangerous scramble for prizes of so little value when won. If the west has irre- sistible charms, cheap lands can be obtained in states and territories upon which rot all the restless and floating population of the republic is descending. Tux Star has no disposition to change its advice in respect to Oklahoma; but for the success of any colonists who may go there from Washington it has nothing but good Wishes, and it will be pleased if in respect to them its warning may be found to be uncalled for. $< = —_____ Robert P. Porter ought to make a very good mperintendent of census. He is a trained sta- tistician, and obtained his first wide introduc- tion to the American people through his mono- graph on public debts in the United States. Some of the southern statesmen found fatlt with his figures as to the debts of their several states; but as those have been matters of dis- pute ever since the era of reconstruction, one man’s judgment about them may be about as good as another's, The appointment is, more- over, another recognition of the press, which has played so important a part thus far in President Harrison's choice of officers, a With two hundred and ten consulships to fill and thirty-five hundred applicants for a chance to fill them, President Harrison ought not to be badly put to it to infuse fresh blood into the foreign service. He might arrange a short term system by which seventeen men should take turns, during the next four years, at hold- ing each place. That would at least give thirty- five hundred deserving young men a chance to travel gratis and see the world, which is about all that the averaze applicant for a consulship cares about, any a It is impossible to pleasefeverybody. If the Governor of South Carolina had permitted the two negro lynchers to be hanged, half the peo- ple would have accused him of race prejudice because white lynchers usually escape justice. Now that he has spared their lives, the other haif are blaming him because his decision is in- terpreted asa notice that lynching by either race will go unpunished in South Carolipa, About the only thing he could have done to satisfy such a conflict of demands would have been to hang one negro and pardon the other. And even then somebody would have risen to @enounce such invidious distinctions. SU a The proposal to make up the ten million do Jar deficit in the British budget by levying a tax of one-fourteenth of a penny upon every gallon of beer consumed in the kingdom sug- gests a big scheme for Cincinnati the next time she is hard up. $< Achair made of the horns of a Texas steer is one of President Harrison's early presents from an admirer in the southwest. It is a very Pleasant gift when it comes in such a way. Pri- vate citizens have objected to a seat of this kind sometimes, but that was when the horns Were still attached to the head of the steer. a The young men who set up for White-Cap- Pers at Rockville had the tables turned upon them with a vengeance. The cappers were, in fact, captured by their intended victim.
