4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY.........0ctober 25, 1593. only averted by the prompt and cool actions of the teachers. A cow is said to have kick- ed over a lamp and thereby caused the great Chicago fire and a fall of plaster may easily cause a tragedy. The building in- spector explains the Tyler building affair somewhat in this way: The part of the celling which fell was put up in frosty weather and in such cases these falls most invariably happen. If this explana- tion is correct, then why in common sense if it was known that the mortar had been touched with frost was it not taken down and replaced under the influence of some balmy summer day? The building inspec- tor also says that the report that an ex- amination will be made of all school build- ings in order to avert any further accidents is misleading, as such examinations are made continually and regularly. Notwith- standing these inspections the ceiling at the Tyler building fell and at the time of the Garnett school panic one of the two exits was, it is alleged, so blocked with fron castings and building material that for months the children had considered it im- passable. It would surely be well to make these regular inspections a trifle more searching. —__+ + e__—_ Willing to wrestle first with the greater evil, the District Commissioners have re- commended that Congress grant the au- thority necessary to compel the burying in conduits of the electric light wires that now deface the streets and continually menace life and property. The move is one that will commend itself to every thoughtful citizen, for of all the forms of electrical peril that have resulted from man’s ingenuity none are more deadly than the electric light wire when it is attend- ing to business. All kinds of overhead wires are nuisances that should be abated with all possible rapidity—something Con- gress recognized when it declared that no additional wires should be strung within the city’s limits—but as the work of reform must be done in sections the Commission- ers have resolved wisely that the most dangerous of the obstructions should first be removed. To this recommendation the electric light company cannot rationally take exception. Every wind storm does in- finite damage to the company’s property, rendering its service unsatisfactory and causing many people serious inconvenience. The expenses of frequent renewal will be entirely obviated by the burial of the wires and at the same time the quality of the service will be vastly improved. Two trol- ley wires still disfigure one of the city’s ave- nues, but these, under the operation of law, must soon come down. When they have been removed and all electric light wires are beneath the street surface the beauty and desirability of the national cap- ital as a place of residence will be mater- lally enhanced. ——___ ++ Very properly the grand jury that was summoned to investigate the riotous con- duct that disgraced Roanoke a month ago has condemned those who appeared to be most active in the wholly discreditable pro- ceedings. Indictments are certain as to nineteen of the more prominent members of the mob that had to be repulsed by force of arms and although conviction may not be easy it is to be hoped that the thriving city will purge itself by dealing out even- handed justice in allopathic doses. The grand jury declares emphatically that the mayor was right in doing his utmost to uphold the law, that the militia who fired upon the disturbers were completely justi- fied in this act, and that the police were all wrong when, by the removal of the pris- oner who was afterward lynched, they gave the mob the opportunity it sought. It is fair to presume that the lynchers will not agitate revival of their lawless methods and a personal application of the doctrines they so loudly preached on the twentieth day of September last; the statutes made and provided and the duly constituted courts wil? doubtless be considered to oper- ate with sufficient speed in their own cases. —_—_—_+++____ Pugitist Mitchell declares there is no chance of a fight with Corbett, and an- other great fillbuster is practically ended. —____+ ee -____ Mr. Hill’s destiny seems to be the scat- tering of bomb shells in the Senate and peanut shells in New York. CROSBY S. NOYES.............-.-Editor. —= HE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a 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 eharacter or purpose, not to vidual consected with th Ymportant political and financial consid- erations have kept Congress busy ever since it met in extraordinary session, but the rush now seems to be over and it is easily probable that matters of minor con- gressional interest, but most weighty in the purely local estimation will begin to receive the attention they deserve. The District of Columbia will make no exces- sive demands and is going to ask only for such things as it really needs, and these should be given it with the least possible de- lay. For many years Washington has ruf- fered from the grade crossings which steam Failroads seem to regard as essential to the conduct of their business. Men, women and children have been slaughtered in the city’: streets by rapidly-moving locomotiv: Property values have depreciated, and sec- tions of the city that should be crowded ‘with handsome homes are, in part, render- ly without effect, but within the last year er so the two corporations which control all the steam-railroad trackage in the Dis- oe evinced a desire to move for- and keep in touch with that practical and sensible popular idea which is founded upon the law of self-preservation. As soon as the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio companies realized that further delay would only result in seriously increased friction between themselves and the peo- Dle whose servants they were, they did themselves credit and surprised the pub- Me by volunteering to abolish all grade ¢rossings on their roads within the City of Washington. The Pennsylvania company Geclared its willingness to depress its tracks until it would be possible to carry the crossed streets over them with but slight changes in grade; the Baltimore and Ohio, not to be outdone, announced ‘ts in- tention to elevate its tracks on a solid masonry viaduct and to build in place of the present unsightly structure a new sta- tion that would be worthy of the national capital. Since making those announcements preliminary plans have been prepared and for a while there was so much activity as to give many people an impression that the work of reconstruction would commence in a little while. But the Fifty-second Con- §ress passed away and there was no legis- lative action on either of the bills. Before any of the improvements can be started there must be congressional consent. Why there should be delay in securing the ap- Proval of the Senate and House is not quite plain and it may be that the Fifty- third Congress will appreciate the necessity for a change of conditions and will send the necessary enactments to the President at an early date. A Baltimore and Ohio Dil has received the approval of the Dis- trict Commissioners and is now in the hands of the House Committee on the Dis- triet of Columbia. The plan, as developed in the bill in question, is thoroughly modern and seems to accord clésely with the views expressed not so long ago by the railroad Officials, though it is not definitely known what their present opinions are. Of the Superiority of viaduct construction, vigor- ously advocated by The Star and accepted with apparent willingness by the company's er, there can be no question. If the Fifty-third Congress succeeds in abolishing grade crossings within the limits of the national capital it will deserve and re- ceive the unqualified thanks of a community that is thoroughly weary of the antique md murderous methods now in vog:ie in South and East Washington. ——_+ e+ ___ After wearying the public ear as that Jong-suffering organ is not often wearied, the Senate of the United States has come to an agreement within itself to take a vote upon the House bill which unconditionally repeals the silver purchase act of 1990; and that means that the day of unconditional repeal is near at hand. Any other conclu- sion of the great struggle would have been most unsatisfactory to the great bulk of the American people for, rightfully or wrongfully, the people had become con- vinced that the so-called Sherman law was directly and largely responsible for the di: turbed financial conditions which have caus- ed the too-prevailent distress that now e@Micts the industries of the land. The struggle in the Senate will not soon be for- gotten; it gave the public an opportunity to measure some of its idols. In it a few self- made statesmen achieved conspicuous no- toriety and wrecked completely the Sena- torial reputation for business ability. De- bate, however, has not yet closed and it is Probable that many amendments will be offered for consideration; some of them— notably that framed by Senator Faulkner— being decidedly popular, but it seems cer- tain that all of them will be rejected. The one important thing developed in the strife was the uselessness of what are, by Sena- torial courtesy, termed the rules of the Senate. In common with the great major- ity, The Star rejoices at the speedy coming of repeal—Th: Star has never swerved from afivocating the measure—but this rellef will soon be succeeded by another season of Senatorial disturbance and public dissatis- faction if the downfall of the silver-pur- chase act of 1899 is not speedily followed by the adoption of such rules by the Senate as will permit the unhampered transaction Of public business after reasonable time for full and free debate has been allowed. 2 oe - New York has named her new chimpanzee “Chico.” It is a name that does not ceem capable of offending any nationality or clas of people, as some of the previous simian designations have done—unless, in- deed, an insinuation {s circulated to the ef- fect that it is an abbreviation of “Chicago.” —- wee An-agreement to unconditional repeal is Interesting, as being one of the things that the Senate does by and with the advice and consent of the President. —— - +0 It is understood that the King of Italy is displaying much anxlety over the question as fo whether he Is eligible to the Van Alen met. +. ——_>+e_—___ The Senate has possibly decided to give the foot ball game a fair field.

One Slight Relief. “There’s one thing to be thankful for about this Senate,” said the man who does his best to be a philosopher. “In the name of goodness, what is it?” “The fact that none of the men who made speeches stuttered.” A Sure Sign. “I tell you,” said Mrs. McGuldy, B. Hill is gettin’ to be real popular.” “You haven't taki to readin’ politics, hev ye?" asked her husband with surprise. “No, indeed." “Then what makes you think Hill is gittin’ popular?” “Because the fellers that draws the funny pictures is beginnin, tu make ‘im better Jookin’.” ‘David An Effort to Be Exact. “Was his injury accidental?” asked the New York man. “Not exactly,” Brooklyn. “What do you mean? “Well, you might say it was in the natural course of events. He was run over by a trolley car.” replied the man from When the “Midway Pleazence” no longer glows ‘With tinseled garb and fantastic shows, When the great white city, the pride of lands, Deserted, and half in ruin stands, The bosom will heave with a doleful sigh, And the lips will murmur,“‘Oh me!

A Victim of Bad Gas. “What are you doing,” said the clerk in the hotel. “Do you want to asphyxiate yourself, and die on our hands?” “What's the matter with you?” “You've gone and blown out the gas.” “Nuthin’ uv the kind.

Of late years there have been altogether too many buildings collapsing and falling. The crash of floors at the Shoreham Hotel, the Metze: disaster and the terribie calamity old theater are fresh in the pub! Yesterday came the news that a portion of the ceiling of one of the rooms in the Tyler school building had fallen. Of course the fall of a few square yards of plaster | tity eS es is of no earthly consequence except to th individuals who may happen to be di-| 4... THE Most poe Ae rectly underneath. At least this seems to be the opinion of the inspector of bufld- ings. To some people, however, such an accident would seem to hold the germ of a} @isaster. In a building crowded with chil- | @ren of all ases a panic is fraught with as much danger as a fire or the fall of walls, and the ease with which such a panic ean be brought about was clearly illustrat ed last week at the Garnett school. Tyler building on Mo’ a with all its horrors, its screaming chil piling over one another in a frantic effort tw escape some real or imagined danger, was “I find that most much of the fair at Chicago, but on general principles, while greatly admiring it, re- gard the American as artistically still in a nebulous or gummy state. They generally consider Washington the most beautiful city, and praise her streets without limit, also her cleanliness.” Finding a Motive.
