4 THE EVENING STAR. * WASHINGTON. PRIDAY...............0ctober 27, 1593. CROSBY S. 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. 7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the ice. fr > set Senmartesiencenetnassmealineaasinetcn ae Reliable information from Berlin as to the manner in which Ambassador Runyon was received by the Emperor William is calculated to cause disturbance in the so- ¢lal circles of New York and Newport and to embarrass beyond the limits of ordinary * Gescriptive powers the distinguished mono- cleopolist who has rented the post of am- bassador to Italy until another administra- tion comes in. Had this news come one day sooner it is safe to assert that Mr. Van Alen would not have participeted so joy- ously in the fox hunt of which he seems to have been the feature. It appears that after a formal interchange of courtesies between Minister Runyon and the Kaiser there was lengthy and erudite conversation as to the silver controversy which has oc- eupied such a conspicuous place in public attention for some time pas‘. So far as we know, Ambassador Runyon upheld the na- tion's reputation for intelligence, and it is fenerally understood that the impression ¢reated by him upon the German monarch ‘was of the favorable variety. But what an awful thing it would be if King Humbert— when he first shakes the official hand of him who sees with but one eye—should ask impertinent questions about national af- fairs in America. How embarrassing it would be for Ambassador Van Alen! No one questions Mr. Van Alen’s fluency when he discusses fine horses. expensive foods, rare wines, or human pedigrees, but how could he be expected to give utterance to sensible comment on the affairs of the na- tion which he regards as uncivilized, and whose citizenship he values so little that in all his life time he has voted but once? It may be regarded as presumptuous, and per- haps King Humbert would resent the proffer of advice, but if his majesty desires to retain the respect he seems to have for America and Americans he will eschew all topics of a really serious nature and con- verse with Mr. Van Alen on subjects to be selected by Mr. Van Alen himself. Assur- ances of such a conclusion, forwarded at once from the Italian court to Newport, will save Mr. Van Alen the expenditure of several dollars for the services of a “coach” who is well informed on political and gen- eral affairs, and at the same time will add materially to the gayety of nations. — Rapid .transit by means of the overhead trolley ts still young in the city of Balti- More, but it has been the cause of much Tighteous complaint. That a trolley car ean make good time is undisputed, but that it should be permitted to race through ctowded streets is something for which no 00d citizen will contend. In all the large ities and in many of the smaller towns great effort is being made to bring about the speedy abolition of steam railroad grade crossings and it would be indeed strange if the danger against which an almost universal cry has gone up should be multiplied by permitting mechanically- Propelled cars to dash over heavily popu- lated thoroughfares at extreme rates of speed. In Brooklyn, which is the ideal trolley city, the so-called “rapid transit” mortality is truly awful, and even Balti- more’s record is a disgrace to civilization. The Baltimore American eulogizes rapid transit as “glorious,” but it allows that “on the down grades some of the electric ears are now run at far too high a rate of speed.” Having* admitted the camel's Rose and then his neck our neighbor cannot reasonably complain at the incoming of the Yemainder of the brute. Corporations that bribe legislators to secure the privileges of Profitable street obstruction against the great volume of public sentiment are not likely to be over considerate when they are once in control. —_~+-s___ It will be rather humiliating for the United States to apologize to the Brazilian government for Commodore Stenton’s se- fous blunder, but there is nothing else to 4o. The humiliation, however, is not na- tional, and exists merely because the United States, like any other civilized power, must Raturally feel ashamed of the fact that one of its trusted officers has done a very fool- ish thing. Ignorance is the only plea that ean be advanced, but such a confession is far from creditable. Some of Commodore Stanton's friends—anxious to find some sort of @ reason for his extraordinary conduct— claim apologetically that it is so long since the commodore has had any sea service that he has forgotten many things that a naval officer afloat really ought to know. Such a defense is too weak to merit consid- eration. Perhaps the commodore can throw some light on what now seems to be a @ark chapter in our diplomatic history, but it does not seem as though any explanation worth talking about could possibly be made. That Commodore Stanton may be able to justify his official salute of a rebel flag is sincerely hoped by many who hold him in high personal esteem and who are Proud of his hitherto successful career, but unless new and startling testimony is developed the hopes of friends and admirers are not likely to achieve realization. ——__—$§_o.______ The narrow escape of Superintendent Powell from injury by a runaway horse, @s noted in Tuesday's Star, emphasises afresh the necessity for some regulation to Protect the community from risks of dan- ger to life and limb from that and like caus- es. Not only should the feeding on the streets of unsecured teams be prohibited,but the practice of allowing horses to stand at the curb stone unhitched, or tethered to a weight, should no longer be allowed. The first named habit is always a source of danger, however safe and steady the ani- mal may be deemed to be, and the other is hardly less objectionable, for the reason that horses and vehicles so disposed are serious obstructions to travel, in that they prevent other vehicles from approaching the sidewalk in that vicinity. These bucolic usages may be well enough for country vil- lages, but after a city has reached or near- ed the quarter-of-a-million mark, they should be discontinued. EE — If Mr. Maynard of New York could suc- feed in being loved for the enemies he has made he would enjoy one of the most lux- uriant crops of popularity on record. —————_+ ee Emma Goldman has attained a repose which few women find. She is now in a place where she doesn’t care whether her hat is on straight or not. >> Admitting that there are two sides to every question, but at the same time in- sisting that only in rare instances can both sides be approximately right, The Star, without hesitation, condemns the hazing Practices that afflict our principal eduea- tional institutions. That there should be controversy over the brutalities and ab- surdities committed by students on others who are in search of mental elevation is surprising because it is hard to under- stand how any defense worth listening to can be set up, but a few newspapers have, nevertheless, spoken lightly of complaints made by victims who very sensibly declined to suffer and be silent. If there was even @ hope of good to be accomplished by the infliction of torture, sophists could reason- ably attempt to excuse hazing, but as the only results are suffering for the unfortu- mate and a growth of coarseness in the tormentors, strong effort should be made to put a stop to the often criminal foolish- ness. It is quite probable that the number of hazings that have been Infticted during ‘this year is no greater than in like preced- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, ing periods, but the public has heard much more of the insanity during the past month than ever before. Hardly a day passes but from one section or other of the country comes complaint as to the conduct of men and women who are supposed to be fitting themselves for such careers as may be aspir- ed to by decent people, and some of the in- stances are remarkable for the savage na- ture of the punishments inflicted on help- less newcomers. Perhaps the most recent of the cases is not surprising in its possi- bility of horror, for the boys simply fol- lowed the example set them by their seniors in some of the biggest universities in the land. At Fairbury, Neb., a high- school scholar—sixteen years of age—was tied to a tree by a crowd of his associates and compelled to submit to many indig- nities. That was a week ago, but neither the boy’s parents nor anyone else yet heard from has seen him since. Whether his tor- mentors did him serious or fatal injury and are afraid to speak or whether he commit- ted suicide while his mind was disturbed is not known as yet, but the latter idea prevails in the town of Fairbury. If there is any way by which, under the law, these modern inquisitors can be punished, the machinery should be started at once. At some of the colleges the students have vol- untarily pledged themselves to good be- havior; the example ts worthy of emulation. ———-s—____ The unqualified Scriptural statement that “the meek shall inherit the : earth” receives frequent corroboration, much to the delight of those who, having but a modicum of this world’s goods, look for- ward to ultimate possession of valuable real estate and other privileges. In the meantime the lowly and humble citizen must content himself with occasional as- sertion of his title to superiority, and this he does every little while. He was down in the town of Webb, which is a part of Pri- vate John Alien’s state of Mississippi, when a man named Wade—William Wade or Bill Wade—rode through the streets of that burgh and with the active assistance of a Winchester rifle, two loud and bois- terous revolvers, and a gigantic bowie- knife, scared the population, save only one man, into the cellars. The exception was described in the press dispatches as “a quiet citizen,” who was sitting at his store door when Wade's batteries opened fire. He waited in his undemonstrative way until the desperado commenced to throw lead in his direction, and then, without vo- cal preliminary, tested the efficiency of a revolver that happened to be within reach. After awhile the populace returned, fan- ned away the smoke that at once darkened the atmosphere and temporarily cclipsed the ordinarily-prevalent odor of whiskey, and then saw that Mr. Wade—who for many years had been’ “bad” enough to qualify for a Congressional nomination— was as dead as Abel. More searching ex- amination by a surgical authority revealed six round holes in the organ that had been used by Mr. Wade as a heart. And the meek man, whose name is Evans, may vote even the republican ticket at the next elec- tion, and no man will dare say him nay. > o= _____ Chicago newspapers did not hesitate to make pictures of men either in various stages of demonstrative hilarity or in a silent introspective contemplation of the sublime, and label them New Yorkers who are enjoying Manhattan day.

No such sitting has ever taken place in the British parliament. In 17% the house of commons debated the address till 7:30 in the morning, and in 1877 one of the early obstruction battles kept the house tiJl 7:15. The longest sittmg on record occurred the debates on the abortive South Africa bill of Lord Beacomsfield’s government. The house met at the usual time on Tuesday, the Stst of July, and sat on continuously till the usual lsour for adjournment on Wednesday, the 1st of August. This sitting was twenty-six hours long.
