4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY. JUNE 17. 1893—EIGHTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY... CROSBY 8. NOTES... THE EVENING STAR has a regular asd permanent circutation in Washington three mes larger thas that efany ether paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competitor. ‘This is the season of the year when the even- Ing surshine, cooling streams and living verdure call loudly on mankind to forsake stuffy structures, to iay aside the “‘eares that infest ‘the day,” and to enjoy while such enjoyment is possible the natnral beauties with which this city is Glled and surrounded. Thousands of people do these things and are unspeakably benefited thereby, but as many more have but the slightest acquaintance with the combined | pleasures of daylight, fresh air and green fields. Of these latter a large proportion may be found in those places of business whieh are kept open un- tila late hour every weekday evening. Thatsome stores—drng stores principally —are necessarily operated all of tne day and much of the night is admitted, but it can hardly be claimed that similar need existe as to many other lines of ‘mercantile endeavor. If the business men of ‘Washington wonld only reach an agreement to close their establishments at, say, 7 o'clock, ex- cept on Saturday, no one would lose a dollar, for ‘while the public is inclined to ask a good deal, it is not unreasonable and will give way before anything like an mnited movement on the part of a suffering section of brotber-humanity. 1y it is not necessary that the host of clerks and other employes in the stores should be kept within doors until long after the gas has to be Jighted. Why ix it not possible, by common ‘consent, to abbreviate the working day, so that the men and women who live in an atmosphere of commerce and who never see the outer world except on Sundays may have a chance to fl their Jungs with pure air at least once in twenty-four hours. 1t is probably true that | conditions in this city are better than in many of the great centers of industry, but the fact still remains that they can without disturbance be materially improved. Very few people are compelled to do shopping after 7 o'clock, and if they could be canvassed they would not for » moment «tand in the way of a reform which should not be delayed. Give the clerks # hance to liv oe Defenders and apologists of unpunished Iynchings have extracted a great deal of sntis- faction out of a lynching which took piace at ‘Decatur in the state of Ilmois few days since. Lynebings m the state of Abraham Lincoln are rare, but whenaver one happens it is seized upon asa something which excuses similarly illegal conduct in regions where the courtsappear ‘sometimes to abdicate in favor of irresponsible individuals, But there is a marked difference be- tween the subsequent treatment af those whoin- dulge in unauthorized violence. Where Iynch- ing is acommon practice the men who stain their hands are respected members of society, but in Illmois the murder of a fellow-being, even if he be x eriminal, carries with it more or less of opprobrium and ells for the location of personal responsibility. That Bush was lynched at Decatur cannot be denied, bat his sudden taking off was no more certain ‘than is the punishment of those who murdered im. The coroner's jury that heard the testi- mony as to the killing of Bush has held Charles Britton, Willard Vest and Thomas Atterbury, three of the men most prominent in the dis- graceful affair, and they, and probably others, ‘will suffer for the misdeeds. Some months ago ‘the civilized world was horrified by the burn- ing at the stake of a negro who, at Paris, Tex., committed a dreadful offense. The names of those who tortured the wretch were published ‘and are known to the authorities. Where were the coroner aud the sheriff and the governor? Homan nature is much alike, whether it be in ‘Texas or in Illinois, but there is the promive of an avenging law in Mlinois. — +e That good may come out of evil isan easy , but that chance will not excuse the wickedness. Moved by the frightful disaster wBich a week ago shocked the entire nation there is now being pianned sn official move- ment toward securing from Congress such legie- lation as will remove from all the department Daildings the reproaches of overcrowding and unhenlthfuiness. It is understood that Secre- tary Carlisle will report favorably and em- phatieally on proposition to vacate all rented buildings as speedily as possible, he Delieving that the employes and the files should be housed in structures erected by the government for its own use. It ip also understood that President Cleveland will, im bis message to the next Congress, arge speedy action on the proposition to purchase ample ground for sites and to place thereon as many buildings as maybe necessary to properly and safely accommodate those whose lives are now endangered. Neitner the President nor the Secretary will err in makiag such eminently business-like and humane suggestions, see It anyone needs reeord-evidence of the superior manner in which the people of this city can handle such @ great national event as ‘an induguration he or she can find it in the re- port of the general and exeentive committees ‘that Isbored to make the official reappearance of President Cleveland » complete success. ‘The document referred to has just been pub- lished, and according to the expressions voiced therein everyone did nobly alt that was re- quired of him anda little more. ———— But few people outside of those techuically interested know or eare much about the im- portant change by which the Springfield riffe, ‘with its large projectile and its singie-loading facility, is retired as antique and its place tak by the Krag-Jorgensen-small-caliber magazine gun. Discussion as to the relative merits or demerits of the new arm would have no posai- bie interest for the general public, but in view of the fact that the army and the national guard, ana probably the navy also, will within three or four years be served with this imple- ment of modern destructiveness itis possible that ‘many people would like to know something of the effects of being hit by one of the compara- tively diminutive but vicious bullets which the new rifle fires. Surgeon-Capt. F. P. Nichols of the British medical staff discussed this phase of an important question in a paper read by him at a meeting of the United Service Institution of India. He concludes, and rightly, that the essence of war is to put ott of action as many as possible of the opposing force, and as this may be done by # smail and light bullet {of which each soldier cam carry twice as many as he conld of the old style) this recent change of caliber is in the interest of brief but bloody warfare. It is better, he urges, to encumber your enemy with a host of wounded than to kill hima; and since a comparatively slight wound fx sufficient to menpacitate a soldier for his work, to damage him more than is necessary for this 1s clumsy aud cruel. Accident and periment have revealed the differences to be expecte from the new missile. One man, who was a mile and a half from the firmg point, was hit in the right thigh and the wound, which looked as though it bad | been made bya long, narrow b healed rapidly and completely. There wasa complete absence of shock. Very similar was the experience of a man who was hit in the ded knife, right thigh when but « hundred yards from the | Fitle muzzle; the blow did not even knock the man down. Had the wounds been made by Springfield bullets the unfortanates would prob- ably have lost a leg each. It so happened that none of the larger veins were severed in the cases referred to, a fortunate thing for the in- | iuce the clean-cuttiug bullet would in | such instances, were they on the battlefield, «do | jured, can punch a clean hole through man’s thigh would do the same to any large vessel in its path. One dead man to every five wounded ‘was about the correct basis when figuring up the casualties of the old-time battle, but the Inte Chilean troubles—in which the new small arm cut quite a figure—showed that the per- centage of today is more like four dead to one wounded. The flesh wounds and those of flat and soft bones were clean cut and bealed readily, many wounds through the hands and face, for instance, being sent out of bospital in a fortnight withont deformity and with perfect movement. Wounds of the lung also were noted to be much less fatal than usual. The comparatively humane character of the new bullets should be regarded as proven by the fact that of nearly a thousand wounded who went into hospital at about one time the last to convaiesce were those who had been hit by the old fashioned, larger and softer missile. On the other hand, Prof. Smith—an English au- thority who experimented on dead horses and not on living men—avers that the wounds of bones and joints were simply appalling, the shafts of long bones being reduced to frag- ments while the joints were converted into cavities containing nothing but bone-dust. The weight of the testimony is with the Chilean ex- periences, and Surgeon Nichols—who has given the subject much thonght—is probably justified in his conclusion that in the next war we must ke prepared for a large increase of wounds amenable to treatment. » comparatively small increase of severe wounds and a high propor- tion of dead. —+-2 2 —__—_—_ Among the many interesting topics disenssed | in the annual report of Mr. A. B. Howard, chief | of the Maryland burcan of industrial statistics, | none deserves more consideration than that of child labor. Perhaps in no other state are the children who must work better cared for than | in Maryland, and yet their condition is not) what it ought to be. Mr. Howard says that in the factories visited there was evident on all sides a disposition on the part of the employer to secure as much bodily comfort and safety ‘wns consistent with the character of the em- ployment In which the children werr engaged. ‘There were none of the harrowing sights com- mon in the factories of many cities with which Baltimore competes. One firm has established « | boarding house for its female employes—a house in which are provided many comforts within the reach of individual factory-hands. And yet it is nota pleasant thing to kriow that so mang little ones must work ten hours « day,and Mr. Howard is right when he regards as some- thing of gravity the mere fact that there are a number of little ones, who, throngh their own necessities or the necessities of those dependent, either wholly or in part upon them, are com- palled to premature age. ‘Tho law of Maryland forbids the employment of boys or girls who are less than sixteen years of axe for more than two hours each day, and the law seems to be re- spected, but the mapecting officer seems to have some difficulty im finding out the ages of those in whose behalf he keeps his eyes open. But he has a reasonable ideasecured through census statistics. ‘The school pop ulation of Baltimore is 128,182. During the year 1890 there were 65,755 pupils im the public schools and these with those at- tending private schools made up a little less than fifty-three per cent of those of schoo! age who were receiving needed instruction. The renults in 1891 were about the same and when analyzed show although there were 5,897 in school between the ages of eleven and twelve there are but 1,629 remaining between fifteen and sixteen years, It is evident that the youngsters begin to leare school at about the age of twelve and from that time on are either at work or may be found on the streets. The absence of school-training is, says Mr. Howard, painfully apparent in conversation with the children in the factories, for though “nearly all can rend and write yet the latter very usefal accomplishment is a very laborious process for many of them. literacy prevails to a consid- erable extent, a number admitting thut they have never read a book of any description.” ‘That such a description of affairs should exist is one of the bumiliations which the civilization of today has to suffer. A compulsory educa- THE WEEK. Within the United States events of national | 66 importance have been far from plentiful, although of minor happenings there bas been no lack. Financially, conditions have improved, the failure of several more of the week institu- tions being without effect on the unspeculative market. Newspaper readers generally have fixed their mental gaze on the town of New Bedford, Mass., where Lizzie Borden is being tried for the murder of her father and step- mother; public sentiment and the evidence are alike favorable to the prisoner. From Bishop Taylor of the Methodist Episcopal Church Sec- rotary Gresham has received a letter appealing for the interference of the United States gov- ernment in bebalf of Liberia, whose ivory const is said to be endangered by French ag- gression. The lynchings of the week have been at Winchester and Kernstown, Va, the victims in each instance being colored men charged with criminal assault. Strangely enough, yet properly, the coroner's jury that investigated the lynching of Bush ‘at Decatur, IIL, hee named three men as parties to the crime and they will be held for the action of the grand jury. The two big conventions bave been the annual meeting of the International Typo- graphical Union, held at Chicago, and the con- Yention of the Hailway Yardmaster’s Associa- tion of the United States and Canada, OVER THE ATLANTIC. German elections—now over except where re-elections are necessary—have been the feature of recent European doings. Many factions developed, and although there were no disturbances at the polis public feeling was decidedly warm. From the returns that are in it is evident that the government has lost = and that the army bill, as framed and insisted upon by the emperor, will again wuffer defeat. Home rule for Ireland is still the prin- cipal British topic, Gladstone's latest contribu- tion to the strife being a statement to the effect that the meusure will be forced through the House of Commons by the middle of July. In the meantime the Ulster Defense Union—or- ganized to defeat home rule by force if neces~ sarv—is proceeding to raise five million dollars with which to inaugurate such warlike proceed- ings as the Ulstermen deem necessary. Among the home rulers there is lees ensh than they would to control, a condition which is largely due to the fact that the [rish fund, now in the hands of a Parisian banker, can- not be drawn upon, because of die agreements between the party leaders.

The problem iss serious one and its most reasonable solution is that which insists upon the widest possible spread of all educational influences. Maryland needs com- pulsory education law. Ee In deciding that the World's Fair may be thrown open to the public on Sundays the Chi- ‘ago Court of Appeals has not surprised say- one who has been watching the fight made by the local directory but the opinion that the government has no place in the management of the exposition will be a shock to several legis- lators who «npposed that the government had ‘8 f00d deal to do with the great show. An in- ternational celebration in which the nation has none but a subordmate and money-providing part is surely novel. —_—_ +++.

But the suspicion which bas surrounded her will still linger, for the acquittal will be due to an absence of evi- dence rather than any direct testimony in her favor.
