6 THE EVENING STAR. - WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY............March 6, 1895. cnosBY S. NOYES......,......... Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a ESS and Permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mcdium it hi mo competitor. (Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individ connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- menis, according to tenor or purpose. Reckless shooting by policemen may be expected as long as coroner's juries render such verdicts as that which was delivered im Anacostia yesterday in the case of the Policeman who shot and killed a fleeing tegro whom he had attempted to arrest. The public safety demands that policemen should, above all things, guard the privi- lege which the law gives them of carrying dcadly weapons with the greatest possible care, and to that end no good can be ac- complished by such verdicts «s that ct yes- terday. The unquestioned tacts of the casa in point overturn the jury's finding that the shooting which caused the death of the Policeman's victim was accidental. The killing may have been an accident in the sense that there was no actual intent to kill; but the officer evidently intended to shoot his revelver, and is held by the law responsible for the natural consequences of that act. The undisputed evidence showed that the negro, who was flecing from arrest for an offense not a felony, was so well known to the police and the community that he could have been ar- rested later without difficulty. The police- man had gene in his chase far enough to learn that the man was escaping; he fired a loaded pistol with the alieged intent to frighten thé man into surrender. Under the circumstances and the law he should not have discharged his pistol at all for that purpose, and if he ventured on his personal responsibility to do so, he should have guarded his dangerous act with the Breatest care. He should have deliberately fired into the air or into the ground. The fact that in this case he fired toward the man and struck a vital spot is the best evidence of gross, probably criminal care- lessness, for which he should be punished. All other considerations as to the good character of the policeman, the bad char- acter of the victim, what the policeman said and did, and how and when he drew his pistol may be thrown to the winds; the sole fact of a death is sufficient proof that @ wrong against the public safety has been committed. On the question of the. responsibility of policemen for deaths in- flicted in the discharge of their duty, much has been written. The most recent de- livery on this subject in a case of im- portance was that ef Judge McComas last May when he charged the jury in the case of Policeman Terry, who killed Willis Washington. The court said: “These officers of the peace must be sup- ported by the courts in the discharge of duty, but officers of the peace should un- derstand that it is not their duty to shoot @ person they seek to arrest if he only fails to halt when commanded. It is their duty to use such means to secure a pris- oner as will enable officers to take a pris- oner into custody without resorting to the use of firearms, and officers will not be excused for using dangerous weapons in any case where with diligence, discretion and caution the prisoner could be other- wise taken. The officer has the right to arrest without warrant anyone he suspects to be guilty of felony; if, however, he uses mcre force than necessary, he is guilty of an assault. An arrest not unlawful in it- self may be performed in a manner so criminal and improper as to make the offi- cer, who, In the prosecution of his purpose causes the death of another person, guilty of murder, or, without malice, of man- slaughter onl, These words fit the present case as pre- cisely as though the latter were on trial. ‘They make it impossible that this homicide should be permitted to rest with the find- ing of the coroner’s jury. i ——__—~ ee Congressional prophets declare that if the Senate had insisted much longer upon retaining the item for a cable to the Ha- walian Islands in the sundry civil appro- Priation biil that measure would have failed to become a law and an extra ses- sion would have become inevitable. The friends of the project, under pressure of the threat of an extra session, postponed the whole matter to the next Congress, which, in the House, will unquestionably be much more friendly to American inter- ests in Hawaii. But the present proposi- tion has not been the only one on this sub- ject to fail, for the effort of the adminis- tration to turn the cable construction over to British control met with signal defeat. So far as the Senate was concerned the proposition of the President to this end produced a totally different result from that which was evidently expected. it nearly resulted in the authorization of an American cable by a democratic Congress. ———— s+ e_—__. One hundred and twenty-three men were at work today on the structure that is slowly being evolved into the semblance of a city post office. That would be a fair force for a school-house or a barn, but hardly such for a building that is to cost millions of ck 8. There is no reason yet to believe the end will come before August 17, 1906, and the contractors have been la- boring for three years and fourteen days. —_ + « e ---_ New Orleans hopes, now that the sugar bounty appropriation has become a law, that the grand opera season in that city will succeed beyond the record of the past year. French opera to New Orleans is al- most as essential as a good sugar crop, so it is quite appropriate that Congress should have helped out the music lovers of the Crescent City with this generous allotment of the public funds. ——- see ‘The new Congressman who ts tempted to feel that the world is now his should not fail to pause and ponder over the fact that the retiring statesmen were ali new Con- gressmen themselves once. + oe Chicago citizens have now been wrought up to the point of holding indignation meetings to protest against the action of the city council in passing an ordinance giving valuable gas and electric light franchises to unknown individuals. It was estimated that over forty-five hundred men attended the main meeting and the overflow gathering, which were presided over and addressed by some of the !cading citizens of Chicago. Detrimental refer- ences to the council brought forth tre- mendous applause, and resolutions were adopted denouncing the council for grant- ing such valuable franchises with so Jittle regard for the rights of the people. Wash- ington has experienced in a inild form some of these evils, though her citizens have never yet been sufficiently aroused by the donation of lucrative franchises to hold indignation meetings. Put Congress may well afford in the future to take a hint from the result of the Chicago episode and begin to consider whether or not It would be worth while to go slow in grant- ing street railroad charters and other fran- chises without requiring the payment of any compensation to the city. The rush during the last days of Congress to secure action on innumerable street railroad bills would not be so great if the charters that are usuaily granted freely were made to cost a good round sum aplece. It has often been suggested that street railrosf charters should be awarded to the highest bidders, that is to say to the companies offering not only the highest sum for the THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6. privilege but promising and guarantesing the greatest service and comfort to the People. In the matter of gas and electric light franchises the problem is even :aore serious, for the entry of new companies into the field means streets to be torn up, pavements to be broken, traffic to be im- peded, and all without certainty of positive benefit to the citizens. The experience in other cities has so often been that gas and electric ghting companiés purporting to be competitors of the existing corporations are established only to sell out to or to consolidate with their supposed rivals that it is no wonder the Chicago citizens should now protest in the most vigorous terms and with violent demonstrations of ang2r against the enactment of ordinances that have all the ear-marks of being “rail- roaded” through the council. This policy of securing greater returns to the public in disposing of semi-public franchises should not, however, be permitted to he used as a means of protecting monopolies now possessing these franchises in the oppressive exercise of privileges which they have themselves obtained for nothing. The principle that the municipality do- nates something of great value to the in- dividual or individuals upon whom it be- stows these franchises or whom it protects in exclusive possession of such franchises should be recognized as applying just as logically in the case of existing as of pros- Pective corporations, and full considera- tion should be exacted in every practicable way and in every case. ——+ +2 _____ One of the most absurdly unfair cases at law that has recently attracted public at- tention is that in which the state of Ohio Proposes to try Col. A. D. Coit of Wash- ington Court House for manslaughter. It will be remembered that Col. Coit was in command of a small force of the Ohio Na- tional Guard at a time when enraged and bloodthirsty citizens—most of them resi- dents of Washington Court House—endeav- ored to break into the county jail for the purpose of taking therefrom and lynching a prisoner, then in the keeping of the civil authorities. Speedily convinced of their inability to compel the keeping of the Peace, those same civil authorities called, in accordance with state law, upon Col. Colt to defend the court house and Jail from threatened assault, and this Col. Coit undoubtedly did; for when the mob assailed the building in which the prisoner was, the troops commanded by Col: Coit finally fired upon the lawless crowd, killing and wounding several. And now for having done what the civil authorities desired but Geclared themselves unable to do, Col. Coit is to have his liberty jeopardized, his val- uable time wasted and a considerable sum of his money spent for defense that ought not to be needed. It is not difficult to fig- ure out how the state authorities would have treated Col. Coit had he declined to respond when he was called upon to uphold the majesty of the law. The Ohio national guardsman seems to be in an awkward pre- dicament. If he does what the law requires him to do, that same power will turn upon him aad cause him much trouble; if he re- fuses he will be disgracefully dismissed for disobedience. —>+>____ Summer residents of Long Branch have just joined in a petition that is said to rep- resent a combined capital of $200,000,000, as a protest against the proposition to run a trolley road from Asbury Park to the Branch.

A Conscientious Conclusion. “Are you the boss of this ranch?” asked the tramp. “Yes,” sald Me. Timmins, thoughtfully, “I think that at the present moment I can truthfully say that I am the boss here. The hired girl is taking an afternoon off, and my wife is out riding a bicycle.” Science. “Which reaches you the quicker,” asked the teacher, “sight or sound?” “Sound,” replied the new boy. “No, William; that’s not the right an- swer. Sight reaches us first. If you watch a band playing a good way off you'll see the drummer hit the drum a second or so before you hear the sound of it.” “Yes’m. But sometimes sight don’t reach you first.” “Can you give me an example?” “Yes'm. The new post office.
