THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY.......February 14, 1804. CROSBY 8S. NOYES..... +++. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has « regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other ‘Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. a Se ener ee eee ee S7 Im order to avoid delays, om ac- eount of abse: to should not be THE 8T, any individual connected with the ice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business ty according to tenor or purpose. ‘That there {s at least one man who thinks the storage-battery, in conriection with street-car propulsion, was never given Proper trial in this city is evidenced by the Electrical Review issued on the 7th in- stant The preceding number of that same Dublication had in it a lengthy sketch of the storage-battery experiments conducted by the Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany, written by Mr. George C. Maynard of this city. On this The Star commented. Now comes Mr. William Bracken of New York, with a reply to Mr. Maynard, in which are two or three pointed remarks of the aggressive sort. Mr. Bracken may or may not have an axe to grind or a battery to sell, but he has standing in electrical Circles or he would never have secured so much of conspicuous space in the Review. ‘Without questioning Mr. Maynard's sin- cerity, Mr. Bracken declares him to be un- Sust in attributing the failure of the Wash- ington experiment to the storage-battery; “the failure,” says Mr. Bracken, “was chiefly attributable to the men who con- ducted the experiment,” and it is in that connection that Mr. Bracken’s story be- comes of especial local interest. He says that the Metropolitan management first mean a Brush or Faure type, as you may choose to call it), and became satisfied from the manner in which that car did service voice of a siren,” and organized “a cor- poration distinct from the Metropolitan Railroad, for the purpose of owning, ex- done.” Then followed consultation with all the storage-battery doctors in the country, but without good effect, Mr. Bracken alleg- ing that the patient was too far gone to be saved. If all these things are true, tite peo- ple of this city have a right to express feel- the company was wedded to its own sys- tem and neglectful of others that were ob- the blame should be placed where it be- longa, and a workable battery and motor be given opportunity to show what they can do, soo" ‘The blizzard which did so much damage im the west—whence it came—end in the east—whither it went—did not touch this cational, social or climatological there are Rone among the cities of the land that can tairty compete with the city of Washington, the capital of the United States, —___ +e ______ ‘To the millions of people who today sent Pecetved valentines—whether compli- im their ature or otherwise—it mot matter in the least that ecclesias- tleal writers continue to disagree as to Valentine was a bishop or a im fact, no one cares in this ma- age what his occupation was. It is that there was such a be- who “was so famous for his love and that the custom of choosing valen- upon his festival (which is still prac- took its rise from thence.” The cus- tm vogue for something like sixteen hundred years, continues to live. It is, in its purity, altogether admirable and deserv- ing of encouragement. There is too little ef sentiment in the American people. +--+ -__ Just how the administration strength- ened its case as to Hawaii by endeavoring @ correct Minister Thurston, is not plain even to the more than careful observer. Secretary Gresham is inclined to resent the statement that he “was not at liberty” to answer Minister Thurston’s question as to whether the administration would or would HE ai mot use force in its effort to restore the | 0 queen. Those may not have been the Sec- Fetary’s precise words, but he was merely frank if he impressed Minister Thurston with his absolute subordination to the Pres- ident in this matter. The difference be- tween tweediedum and tweedledee was hardly worthy a special message to Con- gress, —_+ee—____ Some people are more than difficult to Please. Just now two or three of the in- tensely partisan republican papers are en- Saged in criticising the Virginia authorities because it so happened that while President | Cleveland was signing the bill which re- moved federal control of federal elections troops were necessary to uphold the law's majesty in a court at Manassas. Had there been no troops present a double lynching would undoubtedly have occurred and then those same newspapers would have had Much to say about southern lawlessness. It is not improbable that under the new conditions brought about by the act of Con- Gress in question the states will be more careful as to their reputation than they were when force was applied by agents of the Seneral government. Virginia certainly was wise in taking all precautions to prevent the illegally-inclined few from sullying the state’s good name by forcible anticipation of the executions which will take place next month. The use of troops Was eminently proper in this notable instance and the good people of Manassas are in perfect accord with the views held by those whom they elected to administer public affairs. The prisoners who were yesterday sentenced to death were given a fair trial and are un- questionably entitled to the doom they courted when they committed their awful crime. If all sheriffs were as conscientious as the sheriff of Prince William county and all governors as alert as Governor O’Ferrall there would speedily be an end of lynching. ———_++-+—____ Of all the many much-needed reforms for which the better class of Americans con- tinually cry aloud, none are more pressing than that which demands improvement in the present jury system. In all our affairs— national, municipal and corporative—we are governed by the majority, and the question may reasonably be asked why that, rule does not apply to the conclusions reached by our juries. Perfect unanimity is hard to secure among any twelve men. Especially must this be difficult when testimony: of various and conflicting descriptions, and arguments that touch both extremes, have yeen skilfully used to affect, if possible, he judgment of the men in whose hands is the fate and perhaps even the life of the person whose case is being tried. In view of the many mis-tzials which have come to pass through the requirement of unanimity would it not be well to at least experiment with another system? Many a criminal has escaped because his friends have succeeded in getting one man on a jury who could be depended upon to upset proceedings at what he or his employers deemed to be the appro- priate time. In some of the more conspicu- ous instances there has been vast increase in the cost of prosecution by reason of these delays, and no one will argue that crime has not been encouraged by the objectiona- ble processes of which complaint is now made. Radical improvement ts also possible in the manner of selecting jurors. —__+ +2 _____ M. Vaillant threw a bomb (which killed nobody), was tried and executed all during the time Prendergast was approaching the motion for a new trial now under discus- sion. They do some of these things much better in France. —_——_++e—____ There is some regret that the Wilscn bill could not have been offered to the public as a valentine tribute. The present pros- pect is that it will be lucky to get around in time to serve as a first of April souvenir. —_——_++-—____ St. Valentine was a martyr.

McKinley’s presidential boom re- fuses to be side-tracked. —_~++ + ____ SHOOTING STARS. The Poet's Festival. Oh, joyful the valentine poet may be; No critic his treasures will spurn; No editor trammels his fancy so free, And he needn't send stamps for return. Cupid may be blind some times, but it takes him about two-tenths of a second to see through the anonymous part of a val- entine. Catastrophe. He would have sent a valentine— But thus was Fortune ever chary. He found, just when he sought the muse And felt his soul with thoughts enthuse, He'd lost his rhyming dictionary. Both Prospects Open. ‘The wealthy uncle was talking over the Prospects of his nephew with the lad’s mother. “How is he doing in his studies?” “Very well. He is very accomplished. He shows great talent for music, and his man- ner is so haughty. His music teacher thinks he will become a conductor. “Ab, indeed? Orchestra or railroad?” —T Uncertainty. ‘Tis now the youth improvident, ‘With anxious waiting thrills, And wonders if the mail will bring Him valentines, or bills. Serenity Once More. “I hope things are more peaceful in the choir than formerly,” said the pasto! “Yes, sir,” replied the organist; “i fectly calm now.” “I'm glad to hear it. How was peace secured?” “Everybody excepting myself resignod.” per- : Unele Sam’s Valentine. Columbia smile; 'tis a day, I am told, When lovers with tender confessions make bold. And you still retain all the first admiration Invoked by your charms, and befitting your station. Throughout the great world all the nations ere The very remarkable family we're raising; And I’m sure that we merit these tributes galore With seventy millions of children, or more. "Tis true that some youngsters grow head- strong and haughty, But every brood has some chicks who are naughty. They are keen, and they're quick selfish motives to smother When the times bid them fight for their father and mother. So we'll thank our good stars—and our good stripes as well— That our valentine choices so happily fell. ——_—- ++ + _____ Florida and the Sports. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Florida has another disgrace settled upon her. The Louisiana state lottery, which was reported to have removed to Honduras, has in reality only moved down to Port Tampa, Fla., and has for some months been doing a flourishing business. It has also leaked out that the lottery managers, work- ing secretly and quietly in the last legis- lature, so amended the lottery law that the authorities cannot oust them from their place. Honduras is only “headquarters for drawing.” The business is done at Port Tampa, Fla. The lottery company claim that they do “no printing or drawing of bs Soma in Florida, and are no violators Ww. —_—_++-+—___ Phenomena, From the Cincinnati Tribune.

But next to him in the minds of the people will be the Senator who gets through new rules for passing a vill upon which debate is exhausted. — + e+ --___ Inquiry. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The report that Sam Jones has converted ex-Senator Ingalls will arouse a respectful inquiry whether the latter now believes that the Ten Commandments have any place in politics. From the New York World. The sort of tariff hearing the people de- mand is very simple. They want to hear the Senators vote on the Wilson bill, “Odd Sizes” In Burt’s Fine Shoes Reduced. ‘Tis a rare thing to find gold dol- lars offered for less than one hundred cents.—The Burt Shoes bear the same Telatiouship to the shoe world that gold dollars do to finance and are Worth @ hundred cents on @ dollar. In fact Burt Shoes represent the standard of shoe-making.
