THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. HURSDAY..... -+.-May 10, 1894. CROSBY Ss. NOYES. — . Editor. SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 lm order to avoid delays, on ac- mt of personal absence, letters to jE STAR should not be a Bay individual con: to tenor or purpose. it has been generally admitted, in Con- Jress and out, that money expended, in sums sufficiently large to insure its completion ‘Within a reasonable time, upon the compre- hensive sewerage system proposed in the plans prepared by the sewer commission ¢reated by Congress, and which have re- ceived the approval of that body, will be wisely expended. The protection the plans effer to property now in danger of serious @amage by flood, as well as to the health f the people, will be cheaply bought at the price of the new system. If the policy ©f providing for the completion of the dikes, futerceptors, and outfall sewers by small annual instalments is maintained, the money ‘will practically be wasted, as the system ‘will be outgrown before the work is fin- ished. Then the wisdom of providing for the extension of city streets in the sub- urban districts, according to a plan that will provide for the expansion of the capital city, with some regard to harmony with the design approved by Washington, and of giving to the already thickly settled sub- urbs good streets and bighways, has like- ‘wise been recognized by acts of Congress as ‘well as the reports of the officers in charge of public improvements, and strongly urged by those interested in the welfare of the District. The judiciousness of expenditures upon these projects at a time when there was a@ full treasury would not be questioned. Existing conditions instead of makimg such eutlays questionable, really constitute an additional argument for entering upon the ‘works without delay. A measure introduced by Senator Peffer, already pending in Congress,proposes a plan for providing work for unemployed persons fa the District in various needed public im- provements. The District Commissioners, im sympathy with the benesolent purposes of the bill, have made a report on the meas- ure and submitted a substitute for it which ‘would accomplish all the good that Mr. Peffer’s bill contemplates, and even more, in the way of providing work, and at the same time would greatly benefit the District by insuring the comple*ion of the much-needed improvements referred to. The plan is sug- ested of issuing bonds to pay for the work, ®o there will be occasioned no unusual @raft on a depleted treasury, and the cost will practically be distributed over a geries of years. This seems much wiser finan- ciering than the present plan of construct- ing by installments a sewer system, which ean be of no use until the whole is com- pleted, at a rate which would prolong the work for half a century. The suggestions in the Commissioners’ re- port and the provisions of their bill, which proposes to accomplish so many good things in different directions, should receive the careful consideration of the District com- mittees and Congress. ———“_++o+____ Another life having been sacrificed be- cause the mechanically-propelied street-cars operated in the District are not equipped with adequate fenders, it is quite likely that the heads of the various transportation companies will once more announce extra- erdinary activity in the line of improved construction. Corporations in many other cities have, either voluntarily or under compulsion, placed on their cars ingenious devices by which the probabilities of death from collision were materially lessened and by the operation of which it was practically impossible for the car to run over a body ms did the Brightwood car yesterday over little Gladys Gilmore. It would seem as though the lesson of corporate precaution should have been learned some time ago, for there have been more than a sufficient number of such awful happenings as that referred to, but the companies appear to be careless and there is altogether too much of that which appears to be indifference among those whose duty it is to hasten action. In other places there are car- fenders which have saved the lives of many unfortunates who happened to be in front of rapidly-moving cars. Had those col- Usions taken place in this city the chances are that every one of the men, women and children who escaped and are now alive and well would not only have been killed, but their remains would also have suffered hor- Fible mutilation. Some day—and it is just @s likely to be to-day as any other—a fenderless cable or trolley car will provide the material for a Congressional funeral ard then the companies will hasten to equip every car with a fender that can be depended upon to do the work for which it was invented and made. But why wait for such a calamity? —++-____ it is a confession of weakness for the friends of Mr. C. H. J. Taylor of Kansas in the Senate to put forth the plea now that he was “only joking” when he made his famous application to Secretary Smith for his commission as recorder of deeds for the District. Mr. Taylor has, since this de- Hightful bit of humor was perpetrated, re- peatedly avowed the seriousness of his proposition, and has continued to argue With all earnestness that inasmuch as the Congressional Record stated that he had been confirmed nothing on earth can alter the fact. Is it not time for Secretary Smith mow to take a hand in the matter and offi- cially resent the insinuation that he has been made the butt of a practical joke by his facetious acquaintance, the political ag- riculturalist from the far-away state of Peffer and Lease? see Bismarck and Gladstone both declare that they desire no more public life. Both have been men of extraordinary activity; men ‘whose careers have lasted far beyond the usual period of human usefulness. Both might be claiming the attention from the populace which seems to the mind of the younger politician the thing in life most to be desired, but they have had enough, and they retire gracefully. It is not often that history produces contemporaneously two ca- reers at once so brilliant and so symm>t- Fically rounded +e. New York's interesting elephant “Tip” has behaved so badly that it is proposed to kill him. This should be a warning to the Fest of the Knickerbocker menagerie, es- pecially the tiger department. ee ‘That perennial source of amusement, the harmless trolley wire, has again done some- thing :t ought not to have done and will doubtless once more compel its heavily- salaried friends to declare that never in all their experience did anything happen which was So extremely surprising. It seems that @ sixteen-year-old boy, full of boyish vitality, threw one end of a thin wire with which he was playing over a trolley wire in St. Louis. He will be buried tomorrow. The death of this young man will set the trolley people to explaining at a great rate, and for some time to come the public will be regaled with all manner of statistics as to the phenom- | enally-feeble electrical resistance of the| eased and the generally innoxious char- er of the current; efforts also will be made to prove that for generations past the victim's ancestors were unanimously afflicted with heart disease, and that only the carelessness of the youngster’s parents in permitting him to throw wires around promiscuously can be held responsible for trolley of the overhead variéty is not the harmless circulation-quickener which its operators declare it to be, will be interested to know that medical examination of young Berg's body showed that the boy's right arm had been cut, the fingers on his right hand slashed to the bone and one finger burned off. There was also a hole about half an inch wide down to the bone in the boy’s left breast, just over the heart, where the current must have entered the body from the wire as the boy's hands were forced up to his breast when he first felt the current. This sad happening corrob- erates much testimony already in which proves to the satisfaction of thousands of People who know nothing about ohms or amperes or volts, that the alleged-to-be- gentle electric current with which the over- head trolley companies load their wires is amply strong enough to do murder when- ever it has a fair chance. The death of William Berg will be the cause of great grief to the overhead-trolley trust. ——__+++___- It has often been said by those who have studied the prison system of the United States that unhealthy sentiment has so Wrought things as to make imprisonment @ limited variety of pleasure, and this ac- cusation is undoubtedly well-founded in many instances. Of course, most men prefer personal liberty, and will risk a great deal to secure that boon when the right to it has been forfeited, but they are only rarely impelled to escape by discom- forts other than those which have their origin in mere incarceration. An example which shows conclusively the desirability of an American prison as a place of resi- dence comes to the surface in the case of Narcisse Nero, an Italian, who for the past eleven months has been a legitimate inmate of the Idaho penitentiary. Narcisse was a burglar who had been sentenced for a year. Good behavior shortened his term one month, but when the warden notified him to that effect and requested him to depart the gentleman from Italy declined to do any such thing, declared himself to be thoroughly satisfied with his home, and assured the officials that it was much more comfortable than any place he had ever struck outside. When the warden insisted that Mr. Nero should go, whether he wanted to or not, the Italiam said he was not compelled to accept the month's re- bate on his sentence. Governor McConnell coincided with the prisoner, and the chances are that Mr. Nero will remain in the abode of his choice until his full term has ex- pired, after which he will probably commit another crime, so as to return to to his pleasant quarters. It is undoubtedly true that there are many such as this man in other portions of the country than Idaho; some such are in Washington. They would just as soon be in prison as be at liberty, in fact, many of them exhibit a decided preference for prison. This would not be so if prisons were really what they are supposed to be—places of punishment. —— +02 Richard Croker remarks that he is tired of being pounded by the newspapers.
