4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON -D.C., THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 188 THE EVENING STAR. * WASHINGTON: ———————== ING STAR bas tne full THE, Euahun ofany Newspaper in Vertisina more than all the other papers ir Washington. eng is worth pebi reer ais Wow York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. Georgetown is deprived of communication by canal with cheap coal, wheat and limestone. If the Baltimore and Ohio road could afford a bold step of the kind, and if the temp tation pre- sented were sufficiently strong to cause it to desire to build for Georgetown’s accommoda- tion jiroad line along the canal bed, dupli- cating in Montgomery county, at least, a part of its preseut system, this lack could be promptly suppliel. But in the present cir- eamstances of the Baltimore and Ohio the pros- pect of this form of relief ia shadowy. The reasonable alternatives for Georgetown are, on the one hand, the service of the Baltimore and Ohio over its present line, with an extension at some time, perhaps, bringing these supplies nearer to the doors of the Georgetown business men than the present freight depots of the Baltimore and Ohio, and, on the other hand, the service of an independent railroad substituted for the canal as a rate-cheapening competitor with the | Baltimore and Ohio, interested especially in | increasing the trade of its terminal, George- town, and with no motive to cause this trade to shift to some more favored point along its line, like Baltimore, which through enterprise has hitherto absorbed nearly all the commerce and trade for which the situation of the capital | adapts it. There isno room for doubt con- cerning the choice which the capital, desiring to develop its use of the water-power and commercial facilities of the Potomac, would make between these alternatives if the choice were open to it. But as matters now stand the capital has much less to say concern- ing the form of substitute for its lost canal than the B. and 0. railroad, with its quarter million of repair bonds, and, while the District has a fairly distinct notion of what it wante in the matter, it will probabiy have to be satisiied, according to its custom ia railroad matters,with what it can get. 9 For an example of a poor law administered to its own destruction commend us to the statute prohibiting the importation of foreigners under contract to perform services here. It is a vi- cious and entangling measure, easier to violate in ways not contemplated by its framers than to enforce in the field which it was expressly designed to cover. Its original purpose was to prevent the introduction into this country of a vast horde of ignorant, besotted foreigners to take the places of our native or naturalized workmen in mines and factories. In this re- spect it seems to hace failed, as the foreigners continue to pour into the country and to be employed in many places to the exclusion of men already on the soil; whereas the clergy- man brought over to minister to the spiritual aeeds of Holy Trinity parish in New York, the Swiss manufacturing expert who was to in- struct American working people in a new handicraft, and other strangers who would | be most valuable acquisitions, are ruled out on technical considerations. The latest vietims of this absurd legislation are the eminent scholars whom it was proposed to bring over from Europe as instructors in the Catholic university near this city. Why America should be robbed of the services of the cream j of Europe's civilization by a law which was in- | tended only to protect her against being over- run by the scum doesnot appear. The statute evidently needs some energetic overhauling. As it stands it raises no barriers to the incur- sion of a low class of immigrants who do not stick at perjury as a means of evasion, but shuts out persons of character whose finer sensibili- ties revolt at the idea of sneaking into the country under the cover of a falsehood when the truth would shut the door in their faces. a The social censors on the British press bave been given food ior a lively controversy by the | reported action of Mra, Joseph Chamberlain in | quitting the table of a distinguished hostess because the talk of her fellow-diners was too broad for hertaste. The merits of the case will | never be fully understood, because there was no reporter present to give to the world a faithful transcript of the conversation. It may be taken for granted, however, that Mrs, Chamberlain, whose refined associations in America are a sufficient warrant against her doing anything of the sort for sensational pur- poses, was really shocked by what she heard and did not wish to subject herself to further shame for her surroundings. Our English cousins often laugh at us for the restrictions we place upon our polite converse, and to some extent they are justified. The mock modesty which refuses to recognize distinction of sex in the lower animals, classing al) members of the canine family as male and of the bovine as female, which confuses all the extremities of the human frame in the sweeping category of “limbs,” and which treats all the natural con- ditions and incidents of motherhood as topics only fit for muffled tong ies, deserves nothing but contempt. There is, however, a marked distinction between such vulgar prudery and that finer sensitiveness which draws the line at gloating over foulness in any form. The re- hearsal of family scandals in all their minutest details, for instance, not for the purpose of discovering how a fellow-being in misfortune can be helped back to a fair piace in the world, or how sorrowing friends can be comforted, but purely for the enjoyment of a moral wal- low, is infinitely worse. The leper who has a sufficient regard for the sensibilities of other men to draw a robe over his sores is to be com- mended above him who exposes his loathsome- ness needlessly. What the old cynic said about society's growing no better, but only more decent, has some point, But who will say that society is not actually better for its &reater decency? And is the woman to be Diamed who is brave enough to face criticisin by | uttering her protest against letting both virtue g0, when the lesser one, at least, can still be retained with profit? ————— Score another point tor Mayor Grant.
