THE EVE) WASHINGTON: TUFSDAY.............. September 3, 1889, —— CROSHY S. NOYES.................. Editor, THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Worid, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published im Washington. =— New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. —_—__—_— Althongh Washington shows a degree of good sense above that of some of her sister cities in Postponing the opening of her schools until the hot season is pretty certainly over, the work of the term may be said to have begun, after fashion, already. The teachers are turning their thoughts in the direction of Preparations for thecampaign that will absorb all their time and attention for another nine months. The pupils are straggling home from the mountains and seashore, taking from the shelves their slates and papers, their geographies and grammats, and wiping off the dust which a summer's idleness has allowed to collect on them. The first of September is in some respects a more appropriate time for the forming of good resolutions by the young people than the firstof January. It is a suit- able time, also, for parents to take their turn at self-examination and discipline. How many ean honestly say that they have worked with and for their children as they ought? To throw the entire responsibility of # child’s training on its hired teacher is a poor practice, It is un- Just to both child and teacher. The child can- not work tothe best advantage if it does not feel the eye of the parent on it; the teacher cannot hope to make the child do its full duty if the adult oversight maintained for five or six hours a day in school is dropped like a burdensome cloak as soon as the pupil passes out of the school building in the afternoon, SS a King Malietoa has come back to his kingdom, but not to his throne. His exile has told so seriously upon his health that he has not the strength to take up again the reins of gov- erument, and Mataafa will therefore continue in command for a season longer. There must be great satisfaction to Germany in a review of the work she has done within a year at Samoa, She has taken away a monarch who was beloved of his people, and whose only offence, as far as can be learned, was a desire to reign as king, instead of as assistant to a German consul. She bas suffered a heavy loss in human life and property throngh a hurricane, and been humiliated by the generous treatment offered her by the supporters of the monarch she had wronged, who might, had they so willed, have avenged him terribly. She has been shamed into submitting her claims toa peaceful international conference, from which, if reports be true, she has emerged, not exactly with fying colors, She has finally carried back the exiled sovereign, broken in spiritand health, @ pathetic monument of the tyranny exercised by a strong power over a feeble one for pur- poses of self-aggrandizement alone, a The death of Darwin A, Henry, a New York electrical expert, by a shock from a live wire in the works of the electric light company which employed him, will carry more weight in the minds of the people than all the testi- mony drawn forth at the Kemmler inquiry. Itis stated that the fatal current was of one thousand volts strength. Nothing is said, how- ever, of any disfigurement of the victim’s body, and what is known of the incident indicates that death came instantaneously. There is dan- ger now that murder may go unpunished in New York state for a twelvemonth or so. The law which establishes electrocution as the form of executing the death penalty contains a sweep- ing clause doing away with every other form. ‘The legislature will not meet again till next Jannary, and the work of remodeling the statute will take some time; meanwhile every murderer whose offence was committed on or after the Ist of January, 1899, will, if he can escape death by electricity, go unhurt for lack of a law with which to put him outof the world. There have recently been some homi- cides of uncommon brutality in New York, and the public is in no mood to permit the murder- ers to go unpunished, merely to prevent an alleged danger to the respectability, social standing and morals of electricity, or merely because it may be decided that the electric shock at the moment when it is fatal hurts tore than the public had supposed. ———— “There is no place like home,” played the band as the Washington Light infantry marched into its armory last evening amid a shower of atrial fireworks and in the glare of colored lights. The city was glad to welcome her soldier boys back, and they seemed quite as well pleased to get here. a It would be, perhaps, misleading to say that the bob-tail car has disappeared entirely from the street railways of New York; but, though the substance of the bob-tail remains to vex the eye, ite worst feature has ceased to trouble the spirit, The cars on some lines are as short as ever and minus a rear platform, but they have taken on conductors under the ordi- nance enacted by the city fathers last June making that reform compulsory after the Ist of September. The driver's function hence- forth is to drive, and it will be for the con- ductor to run the door, collect fares, answer questions, bail passengers, and help the ladies aboard. By confining his attention to bis own dudies, the driver will be spared the pain, and his employers the expense, of killing and maiming so many worthy people. Other cities may well imitate the example of New York. Here in Washington all the roads, together with the city, are fast outgrowing the mentof equipment must be required to keep pace with the increase of density of settler.ent elong the bob-tai: lines and of the earnings of these companies. a Don't failto have an opera glass or other Magnifier ready to take a view of the occuita- tion of the planet Jupiter by the moon this evening. The planet will be hidden wholly or Partially from about 9:40 until 10:90, and if the sky be clear his disappearance and emergence w.ll constitute @ sight well worth seeing, and one likely to be remembered. “Labor day” passed here without celebration. In other leading cities it was ob- served by processions, picnics, and similar festive entertainments. The ides of the workingmen of various neighborhoods to- gether once a year for some other purpose than work is a happy one. It is true, there is no “capital day,” distinctly so designated; but, in the judgment of most workingmen, doubtless, there are really 364. en ‘The more the matter is looked into by the committee on selection of site the more appe- rent does it become that York has no ac- cessible place upon which to erect proper baiid- ings for the proposed great international expo- sition in 1892, Equally evident it is to every- body familiar with the situation that with her limited transportation facilities, which can- not be increased, it is absolutely impossible fer that city to handle the crowd that would be in attendance upon such an affair as that For these two reasons New York count herself out of the race, cave ae the course to Washington, with Chicago ™ eo fair second.

P ‘and Bos. prebension of another period of tight money ig the future is not entirely quieted in Wall Street, notwithstanding so generally encour- ‘eging an outlook; and much is thought to de- pend upon the treasury policy im regard to bond-buying, which thus far has been nently satisfactory.
