4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: SATURDAY.. ,....°,..... ....Mimy 4, 1589. pon Senta CRosmY 8. Noy vss Editors ——— IKE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published im Washington. ——————————— There are differences in courts-martial as in Juries for the trial of civil causes, and in the former as in the latter the great offender often escapes with little or no punishment while for ‘trivial offences the severest penalties are im- posed. The sentences in two courts-martial are announced to-day. Lieut. Commander Book committed the technical offence of leaving his vessel, the Pinta, without leave from the proper authority. His absence injured nobody, for is vessel was totally unserviceable by reason of the con- ition of its boilers, and the motive of his ab- sence was a good one, namely, to present him- self to the proper authorities and to urge the importance of the work in Alaska assigned to his vessel, and the urgent necessity of repair- ing her in order that he might enter upon that work, Fora harmless mistake concerning his legal power to order himself ashore on such an errand he is suspended for two years from rank and duty on furlough pay. Major Lydecker ‘was placed in charge of the construction of the Washington aqueduct extension. Defective and fraudulent work of gigantic proportions characterized the construction under bis sup- posed supervision. His neglect of duty has been followed by the abandonment as worthless of what has been done in the task assigned to him, and a loss of two million dollars and the evil and annoyance of an indefinite delay in securing 4 much-needed increase in the local ‘water supply have been inflicted upon the United States ani this community. He is sen- tenced to forfeit to the United States $100 per month for nine months and to be reprimanded in orders! The moral to be noted is to the effect that it is much more blamable to be over- wealous in the effort to be of service to the United States, even though nothing more serious than s disturbance of red-tape results from the error, than it is to ne- glect grossly an important duty entrusted to one by the United States, and to do as little as possible in the assigned ser- vice, with the sequence of a heavy loss to the government and to the water-takers of Wash- ington. The effect of such a lesson in encour- aging enthusiasm and patriotic zeal among the Officers of the United States, and in improving the character of services rendered to the gov- ernment will at once be apparent. The court in Maj. Lydecker’s case explains its admitted leniency on the ground that it was almost impossible for the accused to perform his supervising duties, with the result of secur- ing thoroughly good work, “in spaces so con- fined as those above the arch in the tunnel.” ‘The cavities were, it appears, not big enough to give room for Maj. Lydecker, in his capacity as supervisor. It ought also to be added as an additional ground of leniency that the way to these cavities was dark, and damp, and nasty for this fact suggests a more serious impedi ment to uniformed inspection than even the question of space. And it must be admitted that while the problem of disposing of a supervisor of Major Lydecker’s real or assumed propor- tions is one of no little difficulty, the tunnel cavities are much larger and less cramping then the club-room or parlor from which the duties of inspection were actually Performed. The court's suggestion that it is almost impossible for a military engineer to secure thoroughly good work in spaces so con- fined involves the whole engineering corps in the discredit for neglect of duty which attaches to Major Lydecker. It amounts to an asser- tion that any other military supervisor would have made the same miserable failure in the Performance of his duties. President Harri- son's disapproving approval of the decision of the court-martial is as mach an act of fJastice to the engineering corps as it is s partial protection to the govern- ment against bad service, and a deserved reprimand of the court-martial itself. The President brushes aside with fitting con- tempt the suggestion that the strictest and most faithful supervision of the progress of such a work is powerless to detect and convict the sbams which were practiced, and in refer- ence to the results of the absence of such su- pervision he says: “That very great loss and inconventsnce have been inflicted upon the community by the delays which have resulted from the failure to discover promptly the faulty and fraudulent character of the work is apparent.” The President has shown a clear and intelli- gent appreciation of the merits of the tunnel controversy in his comments upon this sen- tence. If undue leniency has been extended to Major Lydecker, will not the President see toit that just leniency is exercised by the United States in the treatment of the water- takers of Washington, who, through no fault of their own orof their agents, and without the slightest advantage to themselves by way of consideration, are saddled with adebt ofa million dollars on account of this rotten tunnel? So In commenting upon the fatal accident at the Bridge street crossing of the Pennsylvania rail- road, described in to-day's papers, the Phila- delphia Press says: “The fact that there is no flagman at that Point after 10 o'clock is a surprising instance of laxness, and is likely to prove a costly econ- omy for the railroad company. The accident enforces with solemn emphasis the recent de- liverance of President Roberts as to the evils and dangers of grade crossings.” The disaster teaches a lesson not only in Penn- sylvania, where a grade-crossings bill is pend- ing, but to every other state and to the District of Columbia, Here, as at this grade-crossing in Pennsylvania, the economy of dispensing with protection to the public at night, the time when warning is most needed, is practised by the railroads, notwithstanding the fact that the law makes no discrimination in favor of un- guarded crossings at night, and notwithstand- ing the fact that fatal accidents have resulted from failure to obey the law in this respect. Heavy damages have been recently recovered im the District for injuries inflicted by the local railroads, and other cases are pending. Here as in Pennsylvania it will be found cheaper in the long run to obey the law and to protect the people whose streets are traversed. It is within the power of the local suthorities to enforce the law requiring these crossings to be guarded, and this duty should be faithfully performed until the Pennsylvania road puts into practice the excellent precepts of President Roberts by abolishing such cross- ings, and the Baltimore and Ohio road is com- pelled by public sentiment to follow the sup- posed example of its competitor. ——s ——_—_ Frankness is a virtue so rare in public men that Mr. Parnell’s exhibition of it on the wit- hess stand yesterday almost startled the com- mission out of the proprieties. To hear a man state that he deliberately lied in a speech for the purpose of induencing political legislation, is @ novelty even to those old heads who can remember Thurlow Weed’s significant hint that * certain unidentified corpse was “a good enongh Morgan till after election.” If it pre- sages anything, it is that the age is growing more honest, at least in its afterthoughts, and that we are getting awayfrom the influence of the dangerous old maxim about “a lie well stack to.” Sane wereeer sane Secretary Blaine is probably perfectly satis- fied now with his own good judgment in spend- ing centennial week in Washington. —— It appears that it was the attorney-general of Kansas and not of Missouri who appointed his wife to be his first assistant a The prospect of a new whisky-ring scandal is very promising, and the developments are likely to throw light on the question why gaugers’ places, though indifferently paid, are 80 sought after. es GS To reach ail classes of readers and cus tomers in the District of Columbia, advertise in ‘Taw Evesrse Stan.

SUMMER OPENING OF ‘The newest designs in IMPORTED HATS AND BONNETS, on WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, May 8 and 9, 1320 Fatreet, opposite the Ebbitt, (No cards.) Ox Decr—As Usvan We would suggest that when our competitors write a book on the art of dressing Boys correctly—and the Proper conduct of the Boys’ and Children’s Clothing Businese—they should send us the advance sheets We promise to return them, in time for publication, with marginal notes that may be of use tothem. EN PASSANT we'll give them a few points NOW, while drawing the attention of parents and guardians to the advantages of buying their Boys’ and Children's Clothing HERE, my4-6t FIRST IN THE FIELD When the Boys’ and Children's Clothing Business was in its infancy we boldly stepped where others feared to tread, and opened the FIRST HOUSE IN THIS COUNIRY devoted EXCLUSIVELY to the sale of Boys’ and Children’s Clothing. It has ever been our aim to keep abreast of the rapid strides of style since then, That we have succeeded, the splen- did business we are doing now is the best evidence we have to offer, OUR METHODS. ‘We keep in stock the goods the people want—the kinds that our experience teaches us are, in the end, the best to handle. The good, honest, reliable kinds, that look well and wear well, make a record for us and satisfy the most exacting. We crowd on the style— style costs nothing—and wo sell them at fair and honest prices, We base our claims on solid facts. WE ADVERTISE TRUTHS. We DO NOT make extrava- gant claims—and claim impossibilities—one day, and attribute them to our rivals the next, as if ashamed of having made them. We should be afraid to affront our people's intelligence by such a course, eyen were we so inclined. No. Our business is in the swim. Onur rivals are not happy, but our patrons are pleased, and we are satisfied. We propose to pursue the even tenor of our way, selling Small Boys’ Suits from $4 to 815 that in actual values are beyond the reach of com- Petition, Big Boys’ Suits from $5 to $20 that can’t be touched in Washington. Kilt Suits, $3 to #12; Youths’ Suite, ¢8 to ; Shirt Waists, 25c. to $2.50. Giving our guarantee with everything we sell, and selling only such as we cau guarantee. B. ROBINSON & “O., THE BOYS' IDEAL CLOTHIERS, 909 PENNA AVE, my4-eo Carcnu Ox IS A SLANG EXPRESSION, BUT IT HAS COME TO EXPRESS A GOOD DEAL. WE USE IT IN THE “EXPRESSIVE” SENSE WHEN WE SAY THAT IT IS SUR- PRISING HOW THE PEOPLE “CATCH ON” TO OUR NEW #10 BUSINESS SUITS. OF COURSE WE DON'T WANT TO SELL $10 SUITS ONLY. BUT THESE ARE A FAIR INDEX TO OUR STOCK OF FINER GOODS. A BUSINESS SUIT IS NOT A DRESS SUIT. BUT A MAN CAN BE AS STYLISHLY DRESSED IN ONE AS IN THE OTHER, AND WHETHER FOR BUSINESS OR DRESS, A SUIT SHOULD FIT WELL, HAVE THE COR- RECT “STYLE” TO IT AND BE COMFORT- ABLE. WE THINK OUR BUSINESS SUITS AT #15, $18, $20 AND $25 FILL ALL THE RE- QUIREMENTS, WE WONDER HOW OFTEN IT HAPPENS THAT PEOPLE EXAMINE OUR BROAD AND MEDIUM WALE WORSTED COATS AND VESTS AND GO OUT SAYING THEY WILL LOOK FURTHER, AND LATER RE- TURN TO US AND BUY. THE SAME THING OCCURS SO OFTEN IN OUR SPRING OVERCOAT STOCK. ALL THIS ONLY PROVES AN ASSERTION, THAT NO ONE CARRIES A FINER LINE OF GOODS THAN WE DO, OR UNDEE- SELLS Us. E.
