6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY. THE EVENING SsrTak. | WASHINGTON. WUESDAY.,..........February 26, 1805. CROSBY S. NOYES.... — THE 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. «ee++.-Editor, 7 In order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorizl or Business Depart- ments, according to tence or purpose. Oné more Congress has almost Sas Into history, yet, despite many half-made. promises and an occasional pledge that had every appearance of sincerity, the District of Columbia is still cursed with as many grade crossings as it had in the days when the steam railway companies were bold in their declarations of ownership and openly careless of human life and public sentiment. Compelled to a few minor re- formatory measures the roads are pernaps less dangerous but no less obstructive than they were a few years ago, but beyond the building of fences that the authorities insisted upon and the maintenance of crude safeguargs, that often fail, the companies have utterly disregarded public rights with impunity. At no time during the existence of the Fifty-third Congress has there been even a feeble congressional imitation of an effort to have the companies do what ought to have been done long ago; namel. elevate or depress all of their tracks with- in the city limits. Such a requirement is by no means unreasonable; it has been made and has been acceded to in com- munities of less importance than this. For years The Star has been making plain the cruelty and the financial loss consequent upon the existence of grade-crossings in the District of Columbia, and has thus framed an indictment agzinst which the companies cannot make logical or humane defense, but corporate influences have been more potent in the national legislature than any of the petitions presented by a Icng-suffering public. It may be that other conditions will prevail in the next Con- gress; from which the people of Washing- ten will insistently demand the fair treat- ment refused them by the companies und ay Congress. —____ 0+ _____ By the passage of the Senate bill grant- ing permission to the American Surgical Association and the Alumni Association of the Jefferson Medical College to erect in this city a statue to the memory of Dr. Samuel D. Gross, the House makes it cer- tain that a jine specimen of the sculptor’s art will be added to the few fine and the many mediocre examples we now have on exhibition within the District of Columbia. In one respect the statue will be a novelty, for while we have here many counterfeit presentments in bronze and marble they are generally those of men who achieved eminence in either the military or the naval service of the country. The excep- tions are Joseph Henry, Chief Justice Mar- shall and Martin Luther. It fs entirely proper that such a conspicuous benefactor of the human race as was Dr. Gross should have upreared in his honor at the National Capital such a monument as the one which will be consequent upon the legislation re- ferred to. For centuries the popular ten- dency has been to glorify those whose greatness was—no matter how righteous the cause for which they strove—founded upon appalling destruction of human life and property. It is undoubtedly profitable for a nation to remember its heroes—the men who fought in behalf of their coun- try’s 1ife or glory—but the consideration given those whose achievements have been purely military should not be permitted to overshadow the deeds of the eminently self-sacrificial, such as Gross; whose life was devoted to investigation that resulted only in good for his fellow beings. —++____ When the McKinley bill became a law @ great growl wert up from some of the European nations whose industries were threatened by that much-abused piece of legislation. Now the McKinley bill has been supplanted by the Wilson-Gorman bill and although the changes wrought by the latter measure have been in the direc- tion of general tariff reduction the dis- gruntled European powers growl as per- sistently as ever. The latest to express its disapprobation of our present tariff Policy is France, and it does so by forbid- ding tke importation into France of all cattle from the United States. The ex- cuse publicly offered by the French Min- ister of Agriculture is based upon an al- legation of the existence of Texas fever and pleuro-pneumonia among cattle in this country, but the very thin subter- fuge does not deceive anybody. The origin of the anti-importation decree is to be found in our tariff rates on cheap for- eign wines and coupled with this cause is the powerful and persistent agitation of French cattle-raisers who have been con- verted to protective doctrines. The vast number of Americans directly interested in our cattle-raising industry will watch with special interest the movement of the administration in this matter. —___+ + = _—____ The House of Representatives has de- cided to give one more day to the Commit- tee on the District of Columbia, so that the committee may place before the House legislative propositions which it thinks should receive the sanction of the House before the present session comes to an end. ‘The House committee is custodian of a few bills that are worthy of consideration, and it also has in its keeping some measures that should never journey from their pigeon-holes unless it be to the congress- fonal waste-basket. ——___ + +e ____ ‘There were one hundred and thirty-seven men employed upon the new city post-office building today. Three years and six days have gone by since construction was com- menced, but the walls of the third story are still incomplete—and the seventeenth day of August, 1905, is drawing nearer. —_~ = Can it be possible that-Congress will ad- Journ without making any provision for a new Government Printing Office building? + «= - It is not at all likely that Dr. Parkhurst Intended to be unfair to those who were his comrades in his fight for better condi- tions in New York city, but in his recently published histcry of the famous contest with Tammany he seems inclined to min- imize the assistance rendered him by the many clean, fair-fighting newspapers, whose editors rendered the New York reformer ‘all the aid in their power, and who undoubtedly did the greater pro- portion of the work. While the campaign was hottest, that seemed to be Dr. Park- hurst’s opinion, but now that the battle is over, he comes out with a statement which while true to some extent, will strike most people as an exaggeration. Says he: “It was the pulpit that did the work. Journalistic roasting these vagabonds will enjoy and grow cool over. But when it is clear that the man who speaks it is speak- ing it not for the purpose of putting money into his pocket or power into his party, but is speaking it because it is true, and in speaking it appreciates Ris oracular authority as one commissioned of God to speak it, there is a suggestion of the Judg- ment Day about ft, there is a presentiment of the invisible God back of It, that knots the stringy conscience of these fellows into contortions of terror. Warning power of the pulpit? There ts all of power in the pulpit that there fs of God voicing himself throvgh the man who stands in the pul- pit.” It will be admitted that the pulpit was a potent factor, but it must be evident that the pulpit alone would have failed to reach those whose stringy consciences, the doc- tor says, were knotted into contortions of terror. A considerable proportion of the guilty ones whom the doctor was pursuing never heard directly the denunciations that were thundered at them by the clergy; they could only be reached through the press, and it was in that way that they were reached. The hardened sinners who en- joyed newspaper assaults because they felt, as Dr. Parkhurst uncharitably inti- mates, that the press’s motives were selfish, did not go into spasms of terror at ecclesiastical censure, but imputed to their critics in the clergy the same bad and selfish motives of sensational self-exalta- tion and personal money-making that Dr. Parkhurst now ascribes to the press. The effective work done so far in the struggle ha’ not been in the direction of reforming the wicked by knotting stringy consciences into contortions of terror, but in the direc- tion of arousing the honest to combine and overcome the dishonest. It is unjust and impolitie for any reformer to sneer at the part played by the press in this work. No one who sympathizes sincerely with Dr. Parkhurst’s reformatory endeavors desires to take from him an iota of the credit to which he is entitled, but when he practi- cally omits from his culculations the force that day after day pursued the enemies of gocd government he not only does in- justice to the better class of newspapers, but he is, at the same time, discouraging those whom he may in the near future once more need as allies. ——___+2____ ‘The fact that journalistic enterprise has prompted efforts to steal not only a presi- dential message but pictures of the Gould- Castellane wedding is calculated to convey an impression of the tremendous import- ance of a presidential message. > oe -- Senator Ransom is to be congratulated on the fact that a man who has lived in the vicinage of the moonshine prod ought to have little to fear from “pulque,” the Mexican national beverage. —____++ e+ —___ It is not at all polite to discuss the proba- bilities as to Russell Sage’s wedding pr: ent to Miss Gould.

As a rule I can do that Without any trouble. But with the Fifty- third Congress getting all this start on me I honestly feei like getting some place where I can stand vut of the drart.” A Horrible Revenge. “Yes,” said the man who travels a great deal, “‘my interview with highwaymen in the west cost me some money. But I be- lieve I got even with the villains.” “How?” “I let them rob me of some moonshine whisky that was presented to me in Ten- nessee.”” Niceties of Language. “Dinny, me b’y,” said Mr. Dolan, “Did Oi understhand yez to say ye wor workin’ an’ the new posht office?” “Oi said thot same, dad.’ “Well, niver say thot agin. If anybody axes av yez, tell ‘em ye’re imployed an the new posht office, which laves ye open to no charge av misrepresentation. But niver say ye’re worrukin’ an a gover'mint con- track.” Underhanded. “I thought you didn’t like Cadsby?” said the friend of the literary critic. “I don’t like him.” “But you said his novel was remarkable for its lofty moral tone; for its lack of any- thing that could be construed as Indelicate.”” “Yes. I did that to spoil the sale of it.” A Bit of Romance. A bright bit of sunshine on Valentine’s day From the cloud-land above us was tossed; ‘The message of tenderness sped on its way To sedate Madame Earth, still in mourning, they say, For the much-esteemed Summer she'd lost. And a smile has dispelled all the shadowy gloom That fell on her sensitive brow; And it will not be long ere a garland of bloom Will coquettishly nod where the mourning had room, For the Springtime is wooing her now. 2 —___— Scientific Hesearch. From the Chicago Evening Journal. Success or failure all depends upon the point of view. Professor Frederick Starr of the Anthropological Department of the Unt- versity of Chicago has just brought to suc- cessful completion an. interesting experi- ment in sociology. He adopted a pick- pocket into the refined atmosphere of his Jackson avenue home to see if he would Steal. The professor has triumphantly solved the problem. ‘To be sure, the profes- sor’s family plate and spare cash have con- tributed to the solution, and to an ordinary sordid mortal that might mar the result. Not so with your true scientist. Professor Starr thought only of the great problem, Will a street thief become a gentleman if given a chance and if surrounded with an ennobling environment? Now he knows. Eureka! He will now write a thesis on the theme, “Blood Will Tell.” gg eee A Lamentable Exhibit. From the U. S. Government Advertiser. We are glad to see the architects have not abandoned the fight for a competent, creditable administration of the supervising architect's office. At a dinner of the Arch- itectural League in New York this week there was a discussion on Federal archi- tecture. There could have been but one opinion expressed among such unbiased experts, who fully appreciate the lamenta- ble exhibit made by our public buildings. ————e ‘whe New Woman. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. In Steubenville the new woman has taken the reins of politics to the extent of put- ting up a full ticket for the school board. This is a very fair start, and, if half that is said in favor of woman in politics be true, there should be an immediate im- provement in Steubenville.
