THE EY ENIN \G WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY | _-February 10, 189% CEOSBY 5. NOVES _ THE EVENING STAR has a reguiar and Permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than thai ¥ other paper im the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ———— Representative Oates disclaims the intention of punishing trae and innocent ridicule as Diackmail, but thinks that publications or ut- terances for the purpose of false and malicious Ridicule or revenge shonid be so punished. If the bill, when amended, goes further than to impose a penalty for making or threatening a disclosure for the purpose Securing money or other benefit it passes the Doundaries of blackm: imprisoning at hard labor as a blackmailer the fuan who speaks or writes or threatens to speak ©r write in false and malicious ridicule or Fevengefully her it will confuse black- wail with hbel and slander, and will enlarge the present local law of libel and Slander. which, almo Itered from the common law, is already so rigorous that no modern jury will enforce it in its fullnesa. Why Will not Gen. Oates earn the gratit this by providing solely the of bisckmailers in bill | against black: gs? If, after has | thoroughly examined the present law on the jose to punish ject he thinks it wise to re et bard labor the threat or nttempt to libel or or slander, not perfected, then let him propose this as a separate piece of legislation. It is, ef course, to be remembered that false and malicious ridicule and revengeful injurious publications, though not the mere threat or | attempt at ridicule or revenge, are now punished us libel in the District If Gen. Oates will make this reasonable separation of his propositions, the District will be in posi- tion to commend the blackmailing measure as us nd Lenetics to denounce the other us antiquated in its spirit and tendency, Banecessary and injurious te In choice of a presidential candidate the democrats ure wider apart apparently than ever. The Hill sweep in New York is only Checked to a limited extent by the popular dis- content there over the machine program and | by such sporadic signs of Cleveland vitality | elsewhere as the Atlinta and the more recent New Jersey demonstrations. Letters written Dy eminent democrats gke Senator Vest scatter ail over the ficids of opportunity and sprinkle the page with « variety of names. Kegrets for Cleveland and apoiogies and modified compli- ments for Hill ming! son, and a qualified n on of Flower with respectful mention of Carlisie, Palmer, Gray and Boies. Meantime the democratic newsp: Fer is busy with the problem and suit or its local pride or factional prejudice iu some ratio or equation that enables it to! work the example just right without risk of | cancellation of the favorite number. The Cleveland editor is either “always for the old man” or hints at a second choice in the person of Vilas, Russell or some such man. ‘The other sort of editor is for Gorman. Hill, Palmer or almost anybody to beat the “stuffed prophet.” Here is richness of selection. The machine is | negatively great, ailirmatively weak. When | negation becomes aftirmation—when to kili off Cleveland is to do the whole desired thing. with | a toss up for his successor—the machine will be- | come strong for the time being. But its test of real strength is at the election. There are not wanting signs that the democratic masses will | revolt against too much interference with the nomination by the men who think they set ‘things up. ———_—>+2—____ ‘The numerous fires in hotels and other bnild- Sings occupied by a large number of people are ‘warnings that the laws are cither inadequate or are notenforced.

Where inflommable ma- terials are allowed to accumulate at the bottom of the shaft or near by and the shaft itself is Jeft open, with nobody on guard, and the other means of egress are situated so close to the cle- vator as to be cut off by the flames, all the con- Gitions for a first-class holocaust exist, with scarcely one condition for safety left.
