THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. .... September 27, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent cirealation in Washing- tom more than three times larger that the most mountainous countries, “such as the Kilimandsharo, Kikuyu, Uganda, Usambara, Karagwe, the Upper Congo and the mountainous districts around the Ny- assa, will prove excellent fields for white settlement, for they possess all the neces- sary conditions—healthy air, plenty of wa- ter and fertile soil.” But the rush for Kill- mandsharo should not set in just yet, for the doctor admits that the districts he than that of any other paper. As @/ named are “like oases in the steppes and News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. 7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mess Department, according to their ebaracter or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the office. ————— ‘The customary defense of the Interven- tion of Judge Lynch is the law’s delay, un- certainty, ineffectiveness. The most re- eent cases of lynching or attempted lynch- ing have not, however, had this defense, since the negroes concerned, who had com- mitted capital offenses, would have had small chance of escaping death at the hands of the iaw, even if they had escaped the lynchers. And in the most recent eases it does not appear that the offense was of that character, committed azainst “woman, which Inspires every individual with the savage, avenging impulse, and the fierce desire to make of the offender a quick and terrible example. The fact that when once the habit fs formed of taking the law into one’s own: hands there will be no nice discrimination between justifiable and un- justifiable infractions of the law is empha- sized by recent experience, and more expe- clally by the case where the mob tortured «to death gulltiess brothers of a negro mur- @erer in the effort to extort a confession of the whereabouts of the criminal. The lynching spirit is not, however, confined to the south, and It is unwise for any defender of it to base his argument upon that as- sumption. The tendency of the individual to disregard under stress of passion the Kmitations placed upon him by the organ- fzation—society or the state-of which he 1s a member, and to demand individually an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, no longer, however, recognizing the existence of cities of refuge, crops out in the west and north and east as well as the south. ‘The only shape which retributive justice could take among Indians, in new mining camps and other unorganized aggregations of humanity appears, untimely, in organized and civilized communities. If there are not enough courts, and the law's delay works suffering and injustice, increase the number of courts. If certain features of the jury system breed injustice eliminate or modify these features. If the law is at times ineffective strive to make it effective; do not strike it down. Do not resolve state and society into their orig- inal elements of disorganized groups of warring individuals, anarchical as to zov- ernment, lacking laws, among whom only might makes right. Do not declare modern civilization a failure without giving tt a chance to defend, and, it may ve, reform Mtself. Do not surrender it without furtner trial to the mob to be lynched. If a fraction of the fierce energy which has been expenled upon tynchiags and other such subversions of the law in all parts of the republic had been intelligently directed toward compelling a reform of the law and of court methods Judge Lynch would long ago have been deprived of the last shadow of excuse for his continued existence. —— ee It is the opinion of engineers that the speed of the fastest railroad traims in this country ard Europe has reach“ about the highest limit of safety under the present conditions. The difficulty lies in the curves of railroads. If some motive power were applied capable of producing double the speed obtained from the steam locomotive it could not be used on existing raflroads without the constant danger of hurling trains off the track at a tangent whenever @ curve was struck. In England experi- ments are being made with what is known as the single rai! system, which, it Is be- Heved, will solve the problem of speed. In this system the cars sit astride of a single rail, raised to the height of four feet from the ground, while on either side, near the ground, are guile rails on which a set of smali wheels run. It is claimed that with this system it is almost impossible to throw @ train from the rails, and the public will be able to enjoy the advantage of the high Fates of speed, 109 or 150 miles an hour, Promised by experiments with electric mo- tors. The system, it is sald, can be applied to the present roads, and much of the ‘work of original construction can be saved. ‘The cost of straightening American roads would be so great, it is asserted, that the only feasible way to provide for high speed is to change the character of the rails. —-— w02 - There is an evident disposition on the part of many hypercritical beings to con- @emn President Cleveland for His decision against public receptions. The condemna- tion is based most filmsily if indeed it has any foundation at all. Having its origin in the good nature of a President who held the supreme office when the country’s pop- ulation was but a fraction of its present magnitude the custom has grown until the thoughtless public have come to regard it as an unabridgable right. When President Cleveland first occupied the Executive Man- sion he outdid his predecessors by receiv- fmg the general public three days in each week. it was a gracious and pleasant thing to do and it was highly appreciated by hun- reds of thousands, not only of citizens but also of foreign tourisis. President Har- rison was equally kind, for he continued the practice throughout his entire term, al- though often at great inconvenience. The handshaking process was a wearisome af- fair at best for the one man who had to Present a more or less dignified smile with every squeeze, and if President Cleveland finds its monotony insufferable he is not obliged to abide by precedent. The hum- blest citizen reserves to himself the right of refusal to shake hands; surely the nation’s chief magistrate may decline if he so de- sires. +e The Midway Plaisance is now adding to its novelties by the combiuation of the oriental costume with the American ready- made coat. ————_+ + + —__ All roads may lead to Rome, but some- times the toll is rather excessive. ‘s ———_+ ++ ____ Some of the many thousands of men and Women who were disappointed in their en- deavors to secure homesteads in the now overfull Cherokee Strip may be interested fm the information which makes plain the existence of great tracts of valuable land that wait the coming of the agricultural: inclined. These tracts are not, it is true, the United States, but they are nevertheless of great fertility and will sooner or later come into the possession of the never satis- fied white man. They are in Africa, and Dr. Carl Peters, the young but eminent German ‘explorer, !s fully convinced that they will not long remain idle. In a con- tribution to the Forum Dr. Peters says that the average American's opinion—due partly, mo doubt, to the woe-begone stories of some returned negro pilgrims from Liberia—is that Africa is a sort of fmmense Dismal Swamp, varied with immense stretches of sandy desert or impenetrable forests. Of course there are portions of the Dark Con- tinent that will never be very heavily popu- lated save by natives, but there is much and in years to come there will be very much more. Health con- as the fev plans for ameliorating climatic influences. Dr. Peter: calls attention to the fact that in the time of Tacitus Germany was considered one of the most dreaded and dan fever countries, and everybody today Germany ts a de: very healthy country 1-working ingenuity of toda lish similar Fesults tn the unhealthy portions of Africa fm very much less time. But all of Africa ® not unhealthy, and Dr. Peters insists nows th y populated must first be connected with the coast by railway before we may dare to take set- tlers to them." In some portions of the continent the native races will surely dis- appear before the advance of the white race, just as so many of the Indian tribes were removed by the gradual elimination of the frontier in this country, but a vast majority of native Africans are agricultur- ists and cattle raisers, and may, the doc- tor thinks, be extremely useful to those Whose ultimate intention it 1s to possess the land that has always belonged to the Ethiopian. Concluding a very interesting Prophetic review Dr. Peters says that the magic process which will open the dark continent to elvilization is the organization of native labor by white intelligence. He ts satisfied that when the negro learns to create new values by his own labor, he will in turn get into the condition to increase his desires and to satisfy them by buying trom foreign countries, and by this process will the commercial importance of the con- tinent surely grow. There are great min- eral ranges in many parts of the country— it is the land of Ophir—but they have been comparatively untouched by the prospector for thousands of years. Coffee, tea, cocoa, tobacco, cotton, vanilla and many other staple products reach their highest stage of development in the regions named by the doctor, and there seems to be no good rea- son why among the pioneers who shall achieve wealth in the land about which 80 little is now known there should not be a fair sprinkling of energetic Americans. The difficulties to be encountered are no greater than those surmounted by thousands in this country who are not yet old. The peo- ple ‘who hunger and thirst after new ter- vitory may find it in the heart of Africa. ——_++=2______ Somewhat improbable, and yet having on its surface the thumbmarks of possibility, 1s the story that the life of the world’s Co- lumbian exposition witl be extended into November. The story goes that several of the railroads running into Chicago will re- duce their rates materially during the first two weeks of November, and thus bring about @ tremendous rush of traffic, which, it is expected, will result in actual Profits for those who hold stock in the fair. Too late the railroads are awakening to a sit- uation apparent to others long ago. A ten- dollar round trip rate from Washington, Baitimore and Philadelphia, with sleeping car privileges, would have resulted in much more of a surplus than will come from the methods that have been employed. It is not too late, even yet, to catch on to the tail end of the procession. —___ + «= —___ Senator Cameron has contributed his mite to the confusion which exists with refer- ence to political classification. It Is grow- ing more and more difficult to judge of a man’s attituf@e on public questions by the political affiliations that he claiins. ———_+ ++ —__ In the interests of the candor that should exist between nations, it is hoped that the Rio de Janeiro bombardment has not been suspended owing to a lack of facilities for news transmission. ——+ + +—___ Lord Dunraven {s said to s:ifer with the gout.
