THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY ..¢. cam September 25, 1894. CROSBY 5S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- 1 abse: STAR, or to Department, according to tenor or purpose. ect but simply to THE Editorial or Business A little while ago it was fashionable to smile at the proposition that Senators should be elected by the direct vote of the People, and there were many men in public Iife who jeered at the idea, but during the last few months public sentiment on this subject has been so frequently and so vig- orously expressed that the jeer has gone entirely out of fashion. At every political convention there is agitation in favor of such a radical and yet perfectly proper change In the method by which Senators are chosen, and although that iniquitous some- thing termed the “machine” seems intent ‘upon opposing the reform the reformers nevertheless appear to be in the majority. But a few days since the democrats of Ohio declared in favor of the new and bet- ter way; yesterday the democrats of Car- roll county, Maryland, with the accompant- ment of rousing cheers, announced: “We declare that it is the sense of this conven- tion, and we recommend it for adoption by the second congressional convention, that the United States Senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people.” With such enthusiastic heresy abroad, machine Politicians will be excused for feeling some- what nervous; the outlook is far from egreeable. Up to this time it has been pos- sible for men of great wealth or successful Procurers and distributors of the spoils of office, to control majorities in state legis- latures, and, through that control, to achieve place in the United States Senate. Under those circumstances the legislature’s choice did not feel as though he was re- sponsible to anybody but himseif—a con- clusion that has resulted in some very dis- creditable legislation. The new method ought to result In the retirement of several Benators whose interest in the public wel- fare is too infinitessimal for measurement and whose prominence misleads many in- vestigators who are engaged in studying the American character. There is nothing startling in the prophesy that ninety-five out of every hundred political conventions held between now and November will in- Gorse the direct election idea. —___ +02 —_ Depravity is of many kinds and once in awhile there appears a form of the disease for which feeble excuse can be offered, but nothing can be said in a palliation of an at- tempt to set fire to a tenement house and to, in all probability, destroy a large per- tentage of the threescore of men, women and children residing therein. New York's fire marshal claims to have discovered test!- meny which will convict a man now held as & prisoner of such a horrible offense as that outlined. For some reason or other—proba- bly because of a warning received—a couple of the marshals assistants watched the sus- pected man and, at what seemed to be the opportune time, broke into the suspect's room and found a burning candle so Placed that it must soon have commun- icated its flames to liquid which would speedily have started a blaze likely to re- sult in the destruction of the building and its occupants. The proof seems to be conclu- sive, but no matter how severe may be New York's extreme punishment for attempted arson it will fail far short of being enough to do such a flend justice. —_—- +2 ____ : A suggestion to enterprising furniture foncerns is offered in an item that comes from Springfield, Ohio, to the effect that @ wealthy young country couple walked Into a furniture store there and asked per- migsion to be married. The firm accommo- dated them, called in a minister, and saw that the knot was tled. The dispatch goes on to say that after the ceremony the couple selected their household goods from the stock in the store and departed su- premely happy. Now, why could not fur- niture houses attract tride by keeping a minister on hand all the time, having some corner of their establishment fitted up pret- tily for wedding parties, and, in fact, re- Neving loving couples of all the worries about the preliminaries of a wedding. Then it would be such = convenience to couples to be able by visiting one establishment to get married and to choose an ouifit for their new homes at the same time. The marriage department of big combination stores ought to, be popular. ——— +++ ___ The announcement that the backbone of summer is broken has been made with a degree of haste which indicates a discreet desire to get it in this side of the next warm wave. = —___++2____ It ts a little early, but there is no reason why the customary announcement that Washington's next base ball nine will be the envy of the world should be withheld. ——___+ e+ -____ Mr. Larry Neal was obscure in the Ohio democratic convention, but not as obscure as other people would have enjoyed being. —--+ e+ —___ At a meeting of the Citizens’ Associa- tion of Northeast Washington, held yester- day evening, it was announced by President Frizzell that a railroad official had given him every assurance that by December 1 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company would be ready to submit to Congress a Proposition which, if it met with Congress- ional approval, would abolish grade cross- ings on so much of the Baltimore and Onlo system as {s within the city limits. Thousands of Washingtonians hope soon to see the day when this particular prom- ise or some one of the many other prom- ises just like it that have for the three or four years past been so Iberally scattered Qbroad by rafiroad managers will fully materialize. But hope, especially of local railroad reform, is shadowy in the extreme, and were it not for the unquestionable fact that it Is better to hope than to despair, the men who have devoted much energy to the abolition of grade crossings at the national capital have reason sufficient for lying down and permitting the modern Juggernaut to run all over them. Again and again have the supreme authorities of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylva- nia Railroad Companies assured the repre- gentatives of this community that the com- panies were ready to ask of Congress the little legislation necessary to permit the life-saving alterations for which The Star and other true friends to this city’s best interests have reasonably argued. Matters have even gone so far as to bring about consultations between the railroad officials and Congressional committees, but beyond the drawing of a few plans nothing real Bppears to have been done. Long before track elevation was seriously discussed In Chicago it was promised Washington by those who were commissioned to speal for the Baltimore and Ohlo management; today the work in Chicago is well under way, while in Washington the menace to human life and the destroyer of property values 's more conspicuously dangerous and obstructive than it ever was. The de- Jay which the public has suffered in this most important matter is undoubtedly due fm the main to the peculiar form of the government which mies the District of Co- THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 265, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. WOODWARD *-, LOTHROP,|House lumbia; a form of government that pos- sesses many material advantages, but is nevertheless weak in one or two places where strength is essential to approximate Perfection. It is not unreasonable, however, to imagine thet at a session of Congress in the near future consideration will be given the steam-railroad problem that has bothered the wide-awake citizens of the national capital for many years past. In- cessant agitation of an entirely rational variety has made deep impression upon the minds of many of the more prominent members of the national legislature, which— as a large number of non-residents do not know—is this city’s common council and board of aldermen. For a long time the railroads doing business here have sacri- ficed human life upon the altar and have done it with tmpunity. For as long a period, by those same grade crossings, they have impeded the daily commerce of a large proportion of this city’s population. The evils and the sacri- fices were suffered in silence for awhile, but in recent years the voice of protest— strong and long-continued—has been raised in behalf of humanity and tn accord with the dictates of the civilization of today. Temporary disregard of a popular appeal is possible, but meanwhile the appeal be- comes insistent and grows until it acquires the proportions of a demand, and that de- mand—based oa righteousness—must soon- er or later be responded to and satisfied. At this time there is a general desire to deal Uberally with the corporations that have already received good gifts from the District of Columbia, and with the spirit that now exists there should be but little if any difficulty in reaching equitable agreement. No better time than the pres- ent ts likely to be found. I Meany monuments have been erected to the memory of godly men; the first one in honor of a cleanly man has just been unvelied at Buda-Pesth. In 1847, Dr. Semmelweiss first advocated the washing in chemical solution of the hands of surgi- cal cperators, and for the fight he made the Congress of Hygjene has immortalized’ him In bronze. —_>+s____ ‘The New York democratic convention will secupy the old skating rink at Saratoga hitherto used for this purpose.

The writer who shields his personality behind the pseudonym of “‘Nauticus” is a recognized authcrity on naval matters, and his views on the preseat condition of the Chinese fleet, as reported in a special Com- mercial Cable dispatch from Brussels, will be read with interest. In the battle of the Yalu all China’s best warships were elther destroyed or else so much damaged as to be obliged to go into dock for repairs. At the present moment, as “Nauticus” points out, China's effective sea force amounts to one vessel of the third class, which perhaps has not yet even re- ceived her armament. Japan is therefure completely mistress of the sea, and if she turns this overwhelming advantage to as good an account as hitherto the result of the war will not be long in doubt. —__ ++-+____ Let Kentucky Speak. From the New York Sun. The popgun bills passed by the House of Representatives, giving the Cuckoo view of what the Tariff Bill ought to be, to make {it sound on the question of free raw materials, were for free sugar, free coal, free iron ore and free barbed wire. Free barbed wire dressed up as a cardinal prin- ciple of the Democratic party! Between free barbed wire viewed in that light, and free corkscrews, there ts no step; they are side by side in political standing. Ss New Talent. . From the Chicago Inter-Occan. Senator Brice and Congressman Tom Johnson ought to shake hands and com- bine against Allen W. Thurman in Ohio. The son of the old Roman got more out of that Columbus convention than did either Brice or “Johnson.

He will be a big man until election day. +o = —___ Mankind Must Burrow. Fro‘a the Boston Herald.
