May S. 1889, CROSBY 5, NOYES coeesesees Editors THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the World. and as au Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published tm Washington. The Philadelphia lawyer whose astuteness has passed into a proverb must look to his laurels. A New York brother is after them. When the jury who listened to the trial of! James Stone, the Coney Island homicide, brought in a verdict of murder in the first de- gree, and the presiding justice inquired whether the prisoner had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be pro- nounced upon him, counsel for the defense declared that the court had no power to im- Pose such a sentence, as, at the time last year when the killing occurred, there was no law | in the state of New York providing for the ex- ecution of the death penalty. This point was undoubtedly taken on the strength of the con- ventional clanse in the statute substituting elec- tricity for hanging, repealing all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the new act. ‘The decision of the court will turn upon the proper construction of that clause, whether the repeal is to be understood as operating from the moment of the later enactment, or from the date—the following January—when the latter was to go into effect. Probably the judicial view will be adverse to Mr. Stone's in- terest, but the plea is ingenious, for all that, and emphasizes the need of especially careful study in wording statutes which deal with mat- ters of life and death. ——> + The latest device in the life-saving line is a steel boat for taking off passengers and crews from large vessels in trouble. The wooden boats aow in vogue, exposed to the vicissitudes of weather for long periods without use. are sometimes found to be leaky when lowered in anemergency. They also are liable, while swinging from the davits. to be smashed by waves breaking over the decks. The steel boats with which it is proposed to replace them | are to be made of one piece, by machinery invented for a firm of manufacturers in | Leeds. Here is an opening for Yankee ingenuity. The most obvious ob- jection to a life-boat which is not breakabie is that the seas may dislodge it and cast it with violence against less obdurate fixtures on the ship, with the result that what was intended as an instrument of salvation may become a pow- erful destroying agent. To construct a boat | which shall be at once resistant to obnoxious | forces and incapable of doing serious harm to | the vessel on which it is carried, or to remodel | the deck of a ship in such a manner as to make | it proof against the battery of a life-boat which bas slipped its guys, offers work for an inventor still. —— + = Is tobacco a drug? The sapreme court of | Massachusetts says no, so as to keep the apothecaries from selling it on Sunday. The physicians, asa rule, say yes, and cite its pow- erful effect upon the nerves. The only thing the legislature can do to settle the difficulty— or evade it—is to permit by special act, the | sale of tobacco on a physician's prescription. | ‘That would place it, for all ordinary purposes, on the same level with landanum and brandy. spidnabiunt yore fastens The Columbus celebration will afford Ward McAllister a fresh opening for the exercise of his talents.

Logically, no | driver has a right to make « sharp turn. close | to the curb, of a corner on his left hand, for it | leaves no room for one moving in the opposite | direction, and turning the same corner at the | same time, to observe the rule without driving over the sidewalk. A little thoughtfulness for | otuers would make every driver regard this | point; and, if it is not done as a matter of | courtesy and common convenience, it ought to | be enforced by the police as a measure of pub- lic safety. Collisions, and the fall of horses from being suddenly pulled in, are of frequent occurrence at street corners, where ignorant | and careless drivers make close turns to the | left; and the number of bicyclists who have been burt, or have escaped injury only by making a risky leap, is simply legion. The po- lice authorities, when revising their decrees about bells and lights and unlawful rates of speed. ought to take note of this matter, and instruct their officers first to admonish offend- ers and then to arrest them till the bad prac- tice is broken up. —————— There is just enough comedy in the case of James D. Fish to make it interesting. Fish went to prison for a long term as punishment for betraying his trust as president of the Marine bank, and letting Ferdinand Ward swamp it. Allthe while he was out on bail awaiting trial, he lived like a prince, finding somewhere the means to pay for dainty little suppers for the pretty singers in the Casino company, and amusing hintself in other ways as a man of the world, while the credi- tors of his broken bank were borrowing right and left to keep their heads above water. Bye and bye it was learned that he was dying in his far off cell, aud on the strength of hie desperate condition, President Cleveland was induced to pardon him so that he could go home and die among his friends. Now it turas out that he has never been in so good health as in the penitentiary at Auburn. He has grown stronger in body and mind, and | will undoubtedly Jast many years. A tailor has just measured him for a new spring suit in which to step forth a free man on Saturday next. Moral: Goto the Fish, thou unfaith- ful trustee; consider his ways and be wise. ————__ ——— Dr. Knappe, the German consul at Apia who has done more than any other one man to fo- ment the spirit of international ill-will, re- ceived so severe a snubbing from Prince Bis- marck a little while ago that prudence would have suggested a brief period of silence on his part. He has, however. failed to profit by this | warning. but has entered upon a systematic course of abuse of everything American. It is about time for the Chancelior to sit on him again, if he wishes to see good temper pre- served on all sides at the Berlin conference, — + The new public printer has been a practical Printer and bookbinder, is a newspaper ian, and hails from Chicago. He thus meets in a remarkable degree both the geographical and Personal requirements which the President has iixed for the occupant of this office. The se- lection is a good one.

He can afford to favor the application of civil-service rules to the offi- ces of the Agricultural department from the secretaryship down. It is eminently fitting that an expert scythe-swinger should look after the interests of the farmers. ee The unlicensed bars, especially those which flourish in disreputable places, should, to say the least, be fined more frequently during the year than the preseut custom seems to require. If only a single annual fine is paid the unli- censed liquor dealer contributes no more to the public than the one who is licensed, and he is furnished with no induce- ment on the part of the authorities to put up his shutters and cease an illegal business, Pub- lic sentiment will sustain an enforcement of the law. ———<—<—— G® To reach all classes of readers and cus- tomers in the District of Columbia, advertise in ‘Tas Evasrya Stan.
