” 4 TRE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1898—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDEY............0ctober 26, 1893. CROSRY 5. NOYES --Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a 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. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mess Department, according to their eharacter or purpose, not to any indi- widual connected with the office. North Americans are, as a rule, of that ethnological variety which is termed “level- headed,” and that a representative officer of the United States should suddenly lose that valuable characteristic just when he needed it most is much to be regretted. Commodore Stanton, who was yesterday re- Meved from command of the South Atlan- tie station because he saluted the rebel flag in the harbor of Rio Janeiro, has long enjoyed an excellent reputation for worldly wisdom, and it was this that brought about his detail as acting rear admiral at a point where diplomacy was necessary twenty- four hours each day and seven days a ‘week. In times past, and often, American Raval officers have shown marked ability as to doing the right thing just when it was Needed most, and that is what makes it so extremely difficult to understand why Com- modore Stanton should have blundered so egregiously. His duty was plain, and his Geparture from the path so clearly defined cannot now be explained. Admiral Mello has no status, except the very dubious one of a rebel against the flag he once swore to Protect. Even the reasdns for his rebellion are not yet clear to the people of the United States. It may be that Mello shall achieve victory and oust President Peixoto, but even that success will not lessen Commo- dore Stanton’s offense as it is at present understood. Recognition of a new and un- stable power to the detriment of a nation with which our relations are friendly and even cordial is really insulting. That Com- modore Stanton's hasty act was so con- sidered by the Brazilian government is certain, and that the administration con- curred In that belief was evident by the Prompt manner in which the commodore was relieved of his command. ——-- ee ——_ Washingtonians may not be immediately interested im the statement that “Police Commissioner Hayden of Brooklyn yester- day detailed a number of extra men for duty on Fulton street between the bridge and Flatbush avenue,” but they will prob- ably be interested in the fact when they learn that the duty of those officers is to Protect pedestrians from the dangers of the trgliey cars. The precaution is absofutely necessary, for the trolley companies obey not the law against high rates of speed on street surfaces nor do they fear the pro- testing minority. Brooklyn’s municipal “ring” gave the trolley companies their title to existence and will stand between the murderous corporations and the people s0 long as intervention is profitable. Few days on the Brooklyn calendar are unstain- ed with the blood of a trolley victim, and githough it is manifestly unjust that the people should be called upon to pay the Police for protection instead of using them to compel moderate car-speed the end may Justify the means. The regular killing took place yesterday—the only son of his mother and she a widow. Yet the trolley cars keep up their destructive gait in an endeavor to compete with the elevated roads. And there are a very few Washing- tonians who, for the sake of dollars, would weléome the trolley to the streets of the aational capital. —__ee—___ Wherever political considerations are per- mitted to interfere with municipal govern- ment affairs corruption may be looked for and generally without causing the seeker any disappointment. No opportunity is per- mitted to escape and wherever a dollar may be captured there one of the creatures of the boss will stand with open hands. ‘The St. Louls Republic says: “Col. Ed Butler seems to still have what gome people have called the ‘cinch’ in the shoeing of the health department's horses. Although his bid is considerably above the lowest received for the work, the contract fa to be awarded to him. The committee on awards has so decided, and the votes of Dr. Homan and Mr. Nagel are not enough to prevent it. Great is the boss.” Yet the Republic never fails, in common with a great many other newspapers that are strictly moral during much of the year, to advocate the election to municipal of- fice of candidates who are nothing more than puppets. When the press of the coun- try will be unanimous im condemning such admixtures of business and partisanship as that commented on by the Republic taxes will be materially lessened and rogues will have more intimate acquaintance with the poverty they deserve. — e= —-____ “Transportation” is the name of an illus- trated monthly journa! devoted to the his- tory and progress of railway, vessel and vehicle locomotion and aerial navigation. William Morris Hayes is editor and pub- lisher; H. W. Spofford of this city is assis- tant editor. The two numbers issued are extremely interesting publications, and there is promise of continual extension and improvement. The illustrations are re- markably good. ——_+ = ___ Mr. Van Alen did not vote at the recent local eiection in Newport, R. I. But there May be an excuse for the omission. He Probably did not know that the election Was going to occur. ———__»ee Gov. Northen was prompt to discourage the effort to bull the cotton market by force of arms. —_+ + _____ Perhaps Commodore Stanton did know that his salute guns were loaded. oo A gruesome subject is that which deals ‘with the disposition of human remains after the soul has forsaken its tenement, but it is, nevertheless, a matter of supreme im- portance to the living. Scientists, who knew what they were talking about, long ago Preved to their own satisfaction that the méthods of burial which have for so long been in vogue are directly responsible for @ vast deal of misery and many deaths. Year after year have the doctrines of the ¢rematory been preached in civilized lands, and yet today Portugal is the one country in which a watchful government insists upon the consumption by fire of all bodies in which infectious diseases are known to exist. Sir T. Spencer Wells, an English surgeon of great renown, and one who does his utmost to hasten the day when crema- tion shall be the rule and earth-burials the exception, is now conducting a campaign against the old fashioned ways of giving Mother Earth her own again. He says that he has given proof that the bodies of per- sons who died of scarlet fever, and whose gtfaves were opened thirty years after burial, led to a fresh outbreak of the dis- ease in a Ycrkshire village. The warning- less appearance of smallpox in the Island of Mull was, he says, clearly traced to the disturbance of a heap of rubbish where germs of the disease had been preserved for several years. Discoveries like these, however, are not modern, for in Dr. Gil. bert Skene’s “Treatise on the Plague,” pub- lished three hundred and twenty-tive years ago, is the statement that the places which “be most pestilential are those where many dead ate buried,” the sround there becom- img “fat and vaporative.” Dr. Creighton, who commented on Dr. Skene’s book in his “History of Epidemics in Britain,” says that “the grand provocative of plague was no obvious nuisance above ground, but the loading of the soil, generations after genera- tions, with an immense quantity of cadav- erie matters which were diffused in the pores of the ground under the feet of the living, to rise in emanations more deadly im one season than another, according as the level of the ground, water, and the heat of the earth determined the degree of oxi- @ation, or the formation of the more dan- not though the tubercle bacillus is neither large nor formidable, so far as. appearance goes, it is often fatally active. Of course there without much difficulty, be controverted. First to be shocked in recent times were some of those who believe in the resurrec- tion of the body, who took the utterly un- tenable ground that the advocates of burial by fire were casting obstacles in the way of resurrection, but this aroused the clergy, who at once flew to the defense of the countless martyrs whose bodies had been burned to ashes and strewn abroad. Bishop Wordsworth is quoted as saying that “it matters little to the faithful departed whether his body ts consigned to the earth, to the flames, or to the sea, or scattered to the winds:” while Cannon Liddon, from the pulpit of St. Paul’s Cathedral said, “the resurrection of the body from its ashes is not a greater miracle than the resurrection of an unburned body. Each must be purely miraculous.” Our Jarge cities, in their phe- nomenal growth, are including within their limits many: already over-crowded ceme- teries. The exhalations from these cannot possibly be healthful and in many cases must threaten epidemic. Why is it in this age of enlightment.and in a land that prides itself upon its activity in every variety of forward movement that such a comparative- jy small number of the dead are cremated? After a while the people who live will want to have no other disposition made of the re- mains of those who aré dead. Suitable medical examination in suspicious cases will prevent the possibility of fire-burial being used to destroy traces of crime; such safeguards are easily obtainable. No one need attempt to apologise for the doctrine of cremation. The Americans of fifty years hence will wonder why the people of today —victims of habit—burden the useful earth with countless tons of decaying and dis- ease-laden matter. —_—_— The Russian officers who for several very happy days have been guests of the French government and of the city of Paris, must have had a real good time, but unless both France and Russia caf satisfactorily ex- plain away some of the little things said and done during the enthusiasm, all these festivities may easily end in more trouble than Europe has seen for many years. Ger- many is watchful of France's every move- ment, and constantly beats in mind the Gallic threats to recapture Alsace and Lor- raine, white of other complications there is no end. A word could bring on war. But the situation is not devoid of humor. If the dispatches are accurate—and there is no reason for doubting their exactness— the Russian admiral is the proud possessor of extraordinary lachrymose qualities, for whenever he has béen received by any of the French authorities he has pulled the throttle of his tear-valve wide open and wept great saline drops of joy. Plain; everyday folk who view the demonstra- tions from afar may well be excused if they doubt the sincerity of Russia's chosen and tearful representative. —- - +02 It becomes more and more evident that the necessity of keeping track of prevailing powers renders the task of representing this government in South America any-. thing but a sinecure. —_ + ] —___. Possibly Ward McAllister or some other expert in etiquette could make a lucrative contract for shoring up the very dilapidated institution known as Senatorial Courtesy. +2 ____ Brooklyn has reached the conclusion that her police are less dangerous than her tro!- ley cars. This is, perhaps, the most severe blow the trolley has suffered. +2 —____ Recent events in southern waters will doubtless have a tendency to stimulate the study of international etiquette by naval officers. . _ OO Possibly the President can now find it in his heart to confer with some of the Sen- ators concerning appointments. ———___ + + + ___ Peffer’s whiskers and Allen's breeze still claim recognition in a senatorial duet. _ OOo The silver talk-as-talk-can contest Is about over. ———+ +o SHOOTING STARS. The things that sadden the near-sighted marksman are the difficulty with which he hits genuine game, and the unerring ac- curacy with which he aims at an illusive cow, Inconaiderate. “Do you know,” said Cholly Bitkins, “I think these jokes about fellows having the ticket but mo ovah coat a'he vewy wude and impwopah.” “So do I,” said Billy Batkins; “think of the way they harrow up us fellows who haven't even any tickets!"

It is an art, and we have learned it. The adjustment of Stocks to modern progressive notions leaves many things out of harmony. Wisdom tells us to let them “‘go,"" not that intrinsic worth ig less, but because a uew, a better business policy demands it, One means, and one only, brings the desired result—the losing method of the reduced prices. THIS REMMANT DAY OF OURS... Furnishes an excellent example of judicious losing. Price—very low price—is the all-potent factor that brings about the end in view, the object of the Remnant Day--to dispose of accumulations and Present a fresh stock with an unbroken front on Monday preparatory to the week's business. Therefore every Friday sees rare chances offered and accepted in all departments here. Odds and ends, the result of the week's havoc among Cloaks, Jackets, Suits, Underwear, etc. —short lengths of Silks, Linens, Dress Stuffs, Ribbons, Laces, Upholstery Goods, ete.—broken lines of sizes in Gloves, Hosiery, Shoes, Corsets, ete,—anything that is soiled, mussed, marred, scratched or otherwise defaced—in fact, the “Left Overs” of everything. Prices are marked on all such Remnants that give them a double-quick motion and rid us of thelr presence. At your command tomorrow all over the store are bargains—bargains that tell of many a dime and many a dollar saved. We are ready to serve you, and the goods themselves offer you special inducements to remove them. ENS DUepartMent. 1 Striped Terry Bath Gown, slightly’ eolled.

That shows just about how much consideration you have for a man. I suppose you'd be satisfied to see me break my neck trying to walk down to my office on my hands, wouldn't you?” “I have called four times to see that man,” said the detective indignantly, “and each time they told me he was not in.

From the Chicago Herald. Procrastination is the thief of time. Its | petty larcencies make its victim poor. The fact is illustrated in the delay of Congress over the silver question. India is recover- ing from the shock of the silver blow; con- fidence is returning; business has improv- ed; the money exchanges are strengthened. Getting on to solid ground without long de- | lay as the result of the prompt action of the Indian authorities has been weeductive of the best results. By the delay in (* gress over the silver bill, business in this country has suffered a prolonged process of strangulation and torture. There should be no further procrastination to steal away the sources of business prosperity. $1.98 each Day G ooDs, 0c Colored Surah Silks, in sbort lengths.29¢, 5c.
