4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: September 17, 1888. CHOSBY S. NOYES... Editor. THE EVENING STAR has te fullest Local Cireuiation ofany Newspaper in the Werid, and as an Advertising Medium ie worth more than all the other papers pubuened im Washington, New York Offce: Room 93, Tribune Building. SS Therw is no doubt whatever of the kind of entertainment which Washington will give to the Knights Templar next month. It will be one to do credit tothe capital, and to strengthen the belief of the people of the republic that ‘this city is the appropriate meeting place of all national gatherings. The expenses of this entertainment will be considerable, and a hint on the subject of subscriptions to citizens generally, and especially to those who will profit directiy by the fact of the gathering, is timely. The local Knights ‘Templar should not be left to bear the burden practically unaided. As an incentive addi- tional to that furnished by the dictates of pub- lic spirit, it should be remembered that benefits fow from such meetings to the whole city in which they are held. The special gainers are of course the transportation agencies and the hotels, though the benefits are not confined to them. It is estimated that the last conclave spent million and a half of dollars in Chicago. There will, it is thought, be 75,000 visitors in the city on the occasion of the meeting next month, and probably an amount of money as large as that expended in Chieago willbe putin circulation here. In Chicago the fact of the pecuniary benefits to be derived was recognized, and subscriptions proportionately large were made, Each rail- road contributed $1,000, and the hotels sub- scribed heavily. For the Washington conclave the steam railroads have as yet contributed nothing, and the returns from the subscription lists generally are meager. The Knights Tem- plar have guaranteed a handsome sum, but the other coutributions are much delayed. Of course the railroads, the other interests which will profit especially by the multitude of vis- itors, and the citizens in general have it in mind to contribute. The more quickly and the more liberally these contributions are made the better the entertainment of the Knights will be, and the greater will be the credit and the bene- fits accruing to the city. $< —___ It is plain that many of the people of southern New Jersey are beginning to take a more than ordinary interest in the scientific forecasts which point to the gradual submergence of that part of the state in the Atlantic ocean. State ologist Cook estimates that the land at the seaside resorts is sinking at the rate of a quarter ineh a year, and even the independent observa- tions of unscientific residents of beach towns pat the subsidence at one-eighth of an inch. As the law governing these changes is unknown, and the only basis of conjecture is the discovery of signs that almost the whole state was origi- nally sea bottom and has been thrust up by some convulsion, it is fair to assume that the process now under way will in time reverse itself, and the depression be followed by another upheaval. Let us hope that this reversal’may be witnessed before the land to which our eyes are accus- tomed has quite passed out of sight. History bears some record of the lost state of Franklin; y extension of the list, — amer, the telegraph oper- ator whois charged with having,by disobedience of orders, permitted the fatal railroad wreck on the B. and P. last Friday night to occur, trans- fers the whole case from the informal atmos- phere of a coroner's inquest to the technical processes of a criminal court. Whatever Mr. Kramer may be able to say in his defense when put upon his trial for manslaughter, the fact cannot be denied that he permitted another person to receive messages from the superintendent's office in his stead, without permission from his superiors, which is con- trary to the rules of every well-regulated rail- road in the country. The substitute, according to the defendant's testimony, received a mes- sage reading: “‘We shall have no more orders for north-bound trains.” The message, as the superintendent declares it was sent from his office, said: “We shall have no orders for 9%.” The difference is obvious, end Kramer's allowing the freight train to pass north without orders was what cansed the disaster. Of course, on the formal trial, an issue of veracity will be made atonce between the transmitter and the re- ceiver of the superintendent's message, and every effort will be made by each to fasten the responsibility on the other. But there should be no room for such disputes between persons engaged m running a railroad. If, at both ends of the line last Friday night there had been one of the old-fashioned record- ing instruments, spelling out every message on a tape instead of leaving it wholly to the ear, tuere could have been no division of responsi- bility. The two tapes would have been the most eloquent of witnesses, They would have told precisely what order the transmitter sent and the receiver took, and the question of veracity would have borne no part in the mat- ter. ————— It will surprise no one to learn that deputy marshal Nagle has been set free on his own bond by the United States cireuit court at San Francisco, on the theory that he was acting within his official duty in killing Judge Terry. ‘This was the only logical conclusion a federal court could ch where the sanctity of person of « Supreme Court justice was involved and the accused was acting under sweeping orders from « superior officer. The state authorities iudicated a purpose to give Nagle further trouble, however. Inthe state courts the ques- tion of federal against state jurisdiction may or may not be argued: enough of a case could be made up by patting the man on trial for homi- cide simply, as « nurse, or a valet, or a courier, or any other attendant who kills an assailant of his employer would be tried. It would be, also, about as ensy for him to defend himself before a jury of reasoning men, in a purely private character, as behind the shelter of official duty. It would not be dificult to prove the sort of man that Terry was, his murderous temper and his many threats, and to show that, when he persisted in his assault after Nagle’s warning, he simply took his life in his hand. It is doubtful whether oue ordinary citizen would not have been justi- fied in taking heroic measures for the protec- tion of another ordinary citizen ander such couditions, especially when it is remembered that the physical inequality between the two men would have rendered any other mode of repuision not ouly futile, but so dangerous, as to amount to a form of suicide in the protector of the person assaulted. > It is marvellous how many sins an adminis- tration may be held to answer for long after it has retired from the seat of power. Here is a bustle factory in Bridgeport, Conn., which Las just shut down in consequence of the de- decline of business caused by Mrs, Cleveland's discountenance of a deformity of the female igure! + If the Cronin case does nothing else, it will at least rouse the pride of Cook county that twelve citizens cannot be found there who are not intelligent euough to read the newspapers. paccocinncticees estimate ohh en shen bn nod AND PRESSED FOR 61.
