THE EVEN TUESDAY, “MAY 2. 1893—TEN PAGES, _THE Oi — fo May 2, 1893. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three | Umes larger than that efany ether paper in | the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- jedium it has no competitor. ——————_—— From the day when overhead electric wires were first put up down to the present time rep- resentatives of the companies using the “cheap and nasty” system have declared with much re- iterative vehemence that the trolley current | would not kill. They talked voltage and in-| sulation and precautions until, for their much Speaking, ther were heard. Encouraged by popular credulity the interested corporations ‘went on to declare the harmlessness of the cur- rents they used; related many alleged incidents fn which there igured imaginary men who deemed a day misspent that saw no dalliance with the power of which “‘only the ignorant ‘were afraid.” But while these semi-humorous and wholly fictitious legends were being circa- ated the trolley current killed a man and before the happening could be explained even by the plausible liars hired for pur- poses of explanation it killed another one. Then ensued variety. Horses and cattle and pigs—here and there—suffered death through the harmless wire, and occasionally there were narrow escapes of human beings ‘who were not in any way connected with the ‘workings of the roads. Since then the work of torture and summary destruction has gone right along, and parallel with its progress is the continuing and never-faltering statement as to the innoxions character of the trolley wire. ‘The latest victim, a description of whose killing 4s reprinted elsewhere in Taz Stan, was a South Boston boy—strong, healthy and possessed of those vital forces which offer most resistance to the electrical shock. A piece of telephone wire ‘was swinging from across the trolley wire and | this the boy grasped. He was buried on Sun- day. The current that burned body and soul apart was but 450 volts, a quantity declared by taany of the so-enlled “experts” to be as harm- Jess as cirens lemonade and no more exbilarat- ing than a giass of ginger ale. Are the people of this city anxious to extend their acquaint- ance with this variety of harmlessness? +e. Within a few months there will be added to our new navy a number of first-class ships of war and among these is one in which the peo- ple of this city should be especially interested —the cruiser Columbia. It is so named be- cause Secretary Tracy decided to honor the District of Columbia. Up to this time there has been but little public mterest manifested as toareally fine vessel but it would seem as though something should now be done in recog- nition of the godchild. So far every city that has bad a man-of-war named after it has made | the ship a suitable present. Libraries and silver services seems to be favorites. The former would seem to be preferable, although either would be well received. Tur Stan is | {inclined to favor the library idea aud would suggest that the District Commissioners as representatives of all the people take such steps as will result in the accnmulation and disburse- gent of a sufficient fund. And now is the ac- ‘cepted time. ——__-+2—____ After years of pleading with Congress and much local agitation there yesterday came into active existence a court of justice which can- pot do otherwise than assist materially in Clearing up the overcrowded dockets that are now the most conspicuous features in this city's §adiciary affairs, The organization of the ‘Court of Appeals is practically complete and at the earliest possible moment it will proceed to dispose of the business which is most press- fing. The importance of this addition to local Jegal machinery cax hardly be overestimated; such a tribunal is an absolute necessity. its @bsence has occasioned much distress and ex- pensive inconvenience; its presence will facili- tate matters that should have been settled long ego. The court and thove who may have auses before it are to be congratulated on the Zact that Mr. Robert Willett is clerk: he has been faitnful and popular in other posttions of trust and will not be less so in his new sphere. ——s Without noisy demonstration important ebanges have taken place in an important branch of the District government. In the ad- tinistration of local affairs the Commissioners, well informed though they may be as to legal matters, have need of legal advice and this they get from the attorney for the District. ‘The vacancy created by Mr. Hazelton’s resig- Ration bas been filled by the promotion of Mr. | 8. T. Thomas, who while for some time assist- | ant attorney, has really been the working force of the office. To aid him in the perform- ence of his duty Mr. A. B. Duvall bas been selected, and as both are men of high character and ‘egal ability the community will be jastified 4n believing that the interests of the law abiding are not to be wilfully or carelessly neglected. Where is no other local office which touches more closely the local interests, and in which ability and integrity have a finer field for exer- cise. Tue Stan prophesies that the reorganized office will make for itself a notable and admira- bie record. ——__+0+— New York will find it dificult to blame Ghicago for incomplete conditions at the world’s fair.

To them poor women can take their bundles of soiled clothing and bedding, and by the payment of a small fee can have the use of tubs, tables, hot and | cold water and drying facilities, and can | also have a bath. In the evening males can aiso | obtain baths there. Some of our elties have | waterside swimming baths for summer use, but | public wash houses under municipal manage- ment and control are practically unknown in this country.” Other necessities, such as hos- pitals where contagious diseases may be prop- | erly treated, public slaughter-bouses, disinfec- tion-stations and mortuaries are mentioned | and brief arguments are made in their behalf, but the gist of the paper is reached when it is asserted and maintained that only through in- telligent public opinion can such reforms as are needed be instituted and made permanent. The Sanitary League of this city is referred to asan instrament that can do much to bring about a desirable end and of it the doctor says that the conditions are unusually favorable to success. Tho entire article will fully repay any one who reads it. 2S ee The necessity for a national air that has not been either borrowed or stolen was very clearly apparent during the naval rendezvous at Hampton Roads and the subsequent ceremo- nies in New York. In thoso places, if never before, the chilly conviction struck many a heart and there was hourly emphasis of our poverty and musical dishonesty. When the band on one of the British ships played “God | Save the Queen” a young lady visitor was de- lighted with what she thought was an inter- national compliment, for she imagined the bandsmen were playing “America.” She was notalone in her error; hundreds of others then in that vicinity did not know that our greatest of patriotic hymns is sung toa stolen tune and that tune the most royalistic of all airs, There was similar misunderstanding to other melodies. “They're playing ‘Colum- bia the Gem of the Ocean,’” said a soldier who from the wharf was listening to the “Blake's” band. His guess was wrong. ‘They were play- ing “Britannia the Gem of the Ocean,” but he was only one of millions who are not aware of the fact that both words and music of that song were lifted bodily across the Atlantic and that somewhere on the way the word “Columbia” was substituted for “Britannia.” Perhaps “The | Star Spangled Banner” came nearer to being generally recognized as our own than any of | the other tunes, but foreign musicians did nothing inexcusable when they discussed | among themselves the indisputable fact that he words only are American; that the air is an old English production, still sung in many parts of her majesty’s realm as the ode “To Anacreon in Heaven.” Even “Hail Columbia,” that somewhat crude affair, was not above sus- picion, for it is one of the oldest of Italian songs, not infrequently heard in the rural dis- tricts of the land of sunshine and blue skies. How much longer must we wait for the coming of the Atwerican composer who will provide us with a purely national song? How much longer shall we sing the songs of other countries and enll them our own? When shall wo weary of this petty larceny? —_——_~+o—___ Of all the commercial segments of suffering humanity none are morecontinuously disturbed than the peach growers. Throughout the winter they combat the icy forces of nature; in what to others is joyous springtime they spend daysand nights of anguish wrestling with meteorological probabilities and the wraiths of possible frosts; summer brings with it all manner of dread disease, and should the fruit survive until the ripening stage there is either rot-proroking delay in the matter of railroad facilities or if the shipments move | smoothly the market price falls with the most sickening of thuds. Just now every indication |is favorable. The crop will be as good as it is large, it will be handied rapidly and the figures will be a trifle over the profit- able high-water mark. But the spirit of the grower is disquieted within him, for he | fears the coming of the cholera. He does not know whether it will get here or not, but he does know that it may. and that is sufficient basis on which to upreara structure of ante- choleraic grief which is touching in the ex- treme. Should the dread epidemic overleap | the bounds of quarantine the demand for | peaches will be as nothing and great financial loss mustensue, There are many philosophers in the United States, but they are not promi- | nent among those citizens whose waking hours are given to watching peaches grow and whose nights are doubly darkened by the gloom of crape-trimmed apprehension. See SHOOTING STARS, | RIGHT UP TO DATE. With all the modern notions Our great world’s fair is blest— Mr. Cleveland pressed the button And Chicago did the rest. “Judge, yer honner,” he said earnestly, “y referred to the case just now as a plain drunk.” “Yes, I did.” “Thope, judge, yer honner, you won't let 1t go that way. It’s humiliatin’ an’ it’s unjust. It was a drunk, but it wasn't plain. I defy any expert in intoxication to get more embellish- ments on a drunk than I had on that one.” Now will the gay thermometer Some wondrous tricks display— Now will the mereury turn ‘round And run the other way, suspictovs. “Mike,” said one tramp to another, “the Woman that lives in that house has just baked ‘a pie an’ set it on the window shelf.” “Hadn't we better go an’ eat it?” “Idon't know.
