4 THE EVENING “WASHINGTON. FRIDAY. March 17, 1893. STAR. cRosBY Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regsiar and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany other paper in the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and With all the impressiveness which should ac- company sucb @ solemn conclusion the law this morning deliberately deprived Howard J. Schneider of his life; the right to live was self- forfeited when he causelessly kilied his faithful wife and her innocent brother. By his expi- ation of this crime «lesson has been taught which should not be permitted to pass by un- | aimont certain, for the spaces between the columns cannot fail to bring enormous rents. The public comfort is amply cared form the | provision which insists that the motive power must be “fully equipped with all modern de- | vices calculated to render it practically noise- | less and smokeless, and to prevent the dis- | charge of cinders and sparks.” It is also ar- ranged that the city’s police, fire-alarm, electric~ light and telephone wires shall be strung on the | Viaducts; a semi-solution of the problem which can elsewhere be solved only by the burial of the obstructive metal. Of course there will be Tesistance to this beneficent municipal iaw,but the courts may only be used for purposes of delay; the city’s right to compel the iniprovement can- not successfully be questioned. But after all the reform is less costly than would appear from a cursory inspection of the scheme. Ex- tremely valuable real estate may be sold, for under new conditions it will be useless for rail- heeded. Often has it been said.and withall ap- | Poa pai Saas ee es pearance of truth, that capital punishment wae ny fi to basineas im the plete only for those who by reason of their poverty Punareds of haveremdiyeaeyal ee par could not command the entangling talent which | <atety gates with expensive — ~ “- so frequently impedes the locomotion of jus- be ne longer nec 3 & suite tice; that the bloodiest criminal. if possessed | grising trom the corn arnh —— of wealth, might cause the leaden feet to step aside from the path that should be unob- structed. Especially has that accusation been made in connection with the progress of murder cases in the District of Columbia, but the event of today is testimony to that integrity in our courts which is essen. tial to individual safety. Everything that able lawyers could do was done, and well done, to bring about conditions favorable to the convicted man, but neither influence nor legal technicality could prevail against the sense of stern right which was emphasized this morning. In some of its phases the case is extremely sad. Two families mourn, and the mourning of those who bewall the fearful but necessary ending of their kinsman touches many hearts. Without responsibility for the wickedness which re- sulted so disastrously they have suffered much, but their grief should not be permitted to de- velop bitterness. Crime must be repressed, and if capital punishment is right in any mstance it was properly applied in this. Ithasbeen charged. bat without a shadow of reason, that the pub- Tie mind was swayed by newspaper publications. So far as Taz Stan is concerned, and so far as its information in respect to the other news- papers extends, there was the spirit of absolute fairness in ali that has been printed, Even the great interest which was taken in the sensa- tional nappenings was not sufficient to call forth inflammatory editorial comment, for it was understood that the case should be tried in the courts and that no word that might bias the conclusions of s possible juryman should be printed. —_++___ This is St. Patrick's dav; the occasion of more enthumastic celebration the whole world ov than any other day in the year, mm spite of the fact that St Patrick was not an Irishman. Countless reams of good white paper have been used in endeavors to establish beyond | question the place of his nativity and it is still unsettled as to whether he first blinked in | Scotland or in France. But this doubt casts no | blight upon the occassion which is so elabo- | rately decorated with greenribbou. It isenough to know that St. Patrick, who in bis early years | bore the comparatively unknown name of Suecath, evangelized the greater proportion of Ireland's population; lifted @ powerful nation from savagery of the most degraded descrip- tion to standerd of civilization which has been moving upward ever since. Americ: generaily, sympathizes with the adoration which finds expression on each i7th of March, for the continent of republics owes much to the in- elligence and industry of those who pride themselves upon Irish birth or ancestry. —_—_~eo___ If the Senate committee on rules desires to do some thing that will be intrinsically wise and locally most popular let it report favorably and secure the adoption of an amendment to the rules providing that the Distriet of Colum- bia appropriation bill shall be controlled by the Senate District committee. Reasons by the score can be advanced in favor of such a forward movement and it would be difficult to find asingle sound argument toshow why appro- priative legislation should be left in the hands of those legis!ators who are too busy with ma’ ters of general interest to pay much real atten- tion to purely local affairs. The District com- mittee is daily and directly in touch | with the people whose money is being disbursed and as a consequence it must be bet- ter fitted to deal justly with their affairs than those who—no matter how liberal or well mean- ing they may be—have so much other business on hand asto prevent the reaching of careful and businesslike conclusions. Such action by the Senate in respect to the District appropri- ation bill would be worthy of emulation by the House.

History has, times without number, proven the accuracy of Lamartine’s utterance, but it is rarely that impatient | bumanity waits for the retribution that nas Divine origin. This is again evident in the | cablegram which announces that the London | Russo-Jewish committee has sent to every | Jewish banker and bank director, bank manager and “agent de ehange” in Europe a Passionate appeal to combine in boycotting Russian loans and in boycotting the trade in Russian securities generally. There 1# nothing surprising in this action, and those who know of the atrocities which practically compelled such a combination will find it difficult to quote aphorisms on the weakness displayed in « desire for revenge. Studiously and in sccord- ance with carefully and cruelly devised plans the Russian government has done its utmost to | make even existence unbearable for those who were of the Jewish faith; thousands of men, women and children suffered persecution in its bitterest forms simpiy because of their Hebraic origin; hundreds of lives have been sacrificed on the altar of the most murderous race preju- dice. Is it then strange that the Hebrews who may not be reached by the czar's rod of liron have combined to teach inhumanity a lesson such as it needs? Abandoned by Hebrew capital and by the vast stream of wealth that invariably follows the lines of in- vestment pointed out by these shrewdest of financiers it will be difficult for Russia to raise the funds it is even now in search of. The ef- fect of a boycott must be far reaching. De- pressed securities mean business depression and that condition—awful in any country—will | cause distress the like of which modern Rus- sin has never known. Under this tremendous pressure something must give way and if that | something shall chance to be the unnatural and | unreasonable governmental restrictions which | have brought upon the great empire the wrath of mea who control the world’s money-markets then good will once more follow evil.

Every man thinks that modesty forbids his telling you what he considers the cleverest thing in the way of a story ever told. “Where are you going, my pretty maid?” “To honor St. Patrick,sir,” she said. ‘May I go with you, my pretty maid?” “Of course; you'll do for the green,” she said. “Have you seen the Battery?” asked the New York man of the visitor.
