4 “THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY. May 15, 1889, THE EVENING STAR has tne fallest Local Ctreulation of any Newspaper In the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Wa New York Office: Boom 93, Tribune Building. eee ee eee The accident of happening upon a name al- ready in use was all that prevented the organi- zation the other day, under the general laws of the state of New York, of a stock company to supply the chairs in theaters with automatic confection-boxes. It will not take this concern Jong to devise a new title. but it may take longer to find a manager adventurous enough togive iteschemeatrial. The nickel-in-the-slot business is already somewhat overdone, and its invasion of places of amusement should be care- fully guarded. The opera-glass idea isnot bad, for probably three out of tive theater goers are obliged to use some artificial aid to vision in order to watch the stage and the actors with any success. But if we are going to have confec- tion-boxes for ladies, shall the line be drawn at automatic flasks for gentlemen? The thirsty male is entitled to some consideration as well as the female caramel-inebriste. And when the cravings of the stomach in both cases are satis- fied, there are other material wants which will demand attention. The gentleman who suffers from drafts will want a skull cap, aud the lady who has a cold will need an extra handkerchief; grandma will feel slighted if a pair of reading-glasses are not at hand to exlable her to consult her program, and grand- pa, who finds the waits tiresome, would gladly drop a nickel for a copy of the evening paper. Umbrellas, overshoes and gossamer coats must be on tap for those nights when a storm gathers in the middle of a performance. There is no telling, indeed, to what lengths this busi- ness may extend when it has once got fairly started. Sranrerese It is probable that the ministerial decision will not be immediately announced, the idea in some influential quarters being that if the gov- ernment were to climb down just now it would look like undignified surrender to popular elamor.—New York Sun, Our able and brilliant cotemporary has un- selfishly rendered such valuable services in correcting and polishing the language of other American newspaper that the latter must in common courtesy seek occasion to return the service. Does the sensitive grammarian and word-weigher of the Sun defend the expres- sion “climb down”? Since the authorities de- clare that one in climbing must “ascend” or “mount” or “rise,” would not the English gov- ernment, if it were to climb down, not only be undignified as the Sun suggests, but be apt to strain itself? Climb from the pit of error, or descend on all-fours from the pinnacle of in- fallibility, neighbo: $$ Objection number two has been raised to the imposition of the new death penalty in New York state. The first one, as may be remem- bered, was that during the interval last year between the adoption of the electricity lawand the date of its going into operation there was no statute in force in the state prescribing the mode of executing capital sentences, The second is less technical, and turns upon a ques- tion of fact rather than of law. Counsel for the murderer Kemmler, of suffalo, has raised the point that death by electricity is one of those “crue! aud unusual punishments” whose infliction is forbidden by the eighth amend- ment to the constitution of the United States and the first article of the constitution of the state of New York. Unusual it undoubtedly is, as must every punishment be for a time; to rule it out simply on this ground, however, wonld be to put a final check upon all progress in the art of discouraging crime. Whether it iscruel or not is another matter. In the opinion of most men of science it appears to be the very reverse, as compared with the bullet. the axe, or the rope; and certainly there is less that is repulsive to the refined mind and that eaters to morbid appetites about this form of judicial death-dealing than about any other which bas prevailed from the days of the cross and the stake to the present time. oo A Minneapolis reporter has discovered a mare's nest. He has solemnly written, and o local paper has solemnly printed, and tele- graphic news-gatherer has solemnly trans- mitted by wire to the enst, the fact that Wash- ington Irving Bishop once revealed to a com- mittee of physicians, under a pledge of secresy, how he performed his wonderful cabinet tricks, in duplication of the spiritualistic mediums. These people. like many others, evidently never knew of, or have forgotten, the begin- nings of Bishop's career as a public entertainer. At least dozen years ago he gave public exhibitions in New York city, ex- posing the methods of Anna Eva Fay, the Davenport brothers, and other artists in their line. He would first go through a long program of feats just as the mediums performed them; and then, throwing away the curtain and turn- ing the lime lights full upon himself, he would repeat the performance in the sight of the audience. The medical men who gave him pledges of secrecy about facts which he had already spread before the world in the most open manner could scarcely have read the newspapers, Sun eeeeeteee The United States will, of course, obey the law and the decision of the Supreme Court ia locating the railroad side-track to the navy- yard. Uncle Sam must not puff himself up in the delusion that he is as big as the local rail- roads and may like them violate the law with impunity and at pleasure. —_—_ Here is Montana, a mere half-fledged state, uumervifully pounding Kentucky, famous of old for fast horses, upon the most tender point of the latter state’s anatomy, Spokane beats Proctor Kuott again. The pronunciation of Spokane is becoming a matter of national in- Towne’s investigations, orator Depew was compelled to prepare his own centennial speech and to miss the undying fame which, as he is now tantaliz- ingly assured by Mr. Towne himself, the use of that gentleman's labors would have won for lim. The punishment of a loss of this sort is doubtless felt far more keeniy by a man of Mr. Depew’s ambition and wealth than the mere pecuniary penalty which Mr. Towne seeke te exact. Une ee One of Governor Hill's strongest objections ‘to the Sexton ballot bill is that it does not ex. pressly prohibit campaign “pay euvelopes”, intimidation by employers, or the docking of time when workingmen go out to vote. The charge is true. And it is a further lamentable fact that the bill does not incorporate the ten commandments, the thirty-nine articles, and the assembly's shorter catechism. but its author probably labored under the delusion that it ‘was already long enough. oo Nemesis, in the shape of a New York news- paper correspondent, dropped upon Minister Whitelaw Reid as soon as he touched European soil. He now knows how it is himself, when there is no tall tower for him to take refuge in, oo Prospective emigrants are reading with much interest a paragraph which has been going the * THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.
