THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, ‘MARCH 14, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY. .March 14, 1895. .Editor. CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the ot Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. - (Im order to avoid delays, on ac- 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 Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ‘An order of the Commissioners, printed elsewhere in The Star, creates a press cen- sorship for District building news, closes all avenues of such news except the secre- tary’s office, converts the reporters into mere messenger boys to receive and con- ‘vey to the newspapers the information doled out to them by the secretary, hides from the public all knowledge ef proposed or recommended municipal action at ‘the pleasure of the Commissioners or until they have acted in the matter, and substitutes star-chamber methods for the present con- duct of municipal affairs in the full blaze of publicity. Hitherto the people of Wash- ington have enjoyed the opportunity of knowing fully and pror(ptly what was xo- ing on in the various departments of their municipal government, even to the extent ef learning what was recommended or preposed; and where the action suggested has threatened to work injury to any among them they have received timely warning which has enabled them at least to present their side of the case, before a firal and irrevocable decision by the Com- missioners has been announced. The Com- missioners’ order, if it were possible to en- force it, would deprive them of this priv- ilege,and would destroy one of the redeem- ing features of the city’s administration. The fact that our municipal government is not representative in character, that it Is not directly resporisible to the people, and that in some respects it may be made de- gpotic and oppressive by an arbitrary com- missioner is a constant source of public irri- tation and dissatisfaction which are more “widespread than many imagine. This threatened change from a popular to an unpopular method of administering the lecal government with the adoption of the policy of secrecy and suppression can hard- ly fail, so far as it ts carried out, to work injury to citizens, to increase existing dis- satisfaction with the commissionership government, and in that way tend to threaten the stability of the present form of municipal administration, which on many accounts should be maintained in the Iccal interest. If the Commissiorers are wise, instead of aggravating the objectionable features of our form of local government, they will take great pains to smooth away its rough- nesses and inequaltties, to the end that the community may continue to eajoy the sub- stantial advantages of the present munici- pal administration. They will exercise the greatest tact and patience and self-control in dealing with this unrepresented com- munity; they will keep in touch as far as possible with the people; they will treat their offices as public trusts and not as part of their private business affairs from which the intruding public may be excluded- at pleasure; they will court full publicity and resulting suggestive criticism at every stage of municipal action; and they will avoid, as they would the plague, any course of procedure which tends, by the in- troduction of arbitrary, star-chamber meth- ods, to emphasize the un-American, un- democratic features of the commissioner- ship government. There is nothing in the municipal operations of the District to be ashamed of, nothing which needs to be covered up. There is consequently no earthly reason why the Commissioners should persist in a step which will give the enemies of the commissionership form of government a pretext for suggesting that it is working secretly, as well as despotic- ally and irresponsibly, in furtherance of projects which need, until accomplished and irrevocable, to be concealed from the public view. ——___ ++ —____. The proposition advanced by the cattle growers of Texas, recently assembled in convention at Fort Worth, that the most rigid inspection of cattle intended for in- terstate cr foreign exportation should be continued, and that there should be equally effective laws for the protection of the American people against the importation of adulterated or impure articles of food from foreign countries, is one that must commend itself to all fair minded people. It ought to have the favorable considera- tion of Congress, as well. It is a poor rule that will not work botit ways. If Euro- pean countries exercise the right to keep out American pork and beef if found or even alleged to be diseased or unwhole- some,. they certainly should not complain if America is equally careful in guarding the health and interests of her own peo- ple against foreign imposition. But whether they are pleased or not should make no difference. Neither should the measure be regarded as a retaliatory one. It is notorious that this country is flooded every year with ship load after ship load of impure, adulterated and even injurious edibles and drinkables, and the authorities owe it to the public to correct the abuse as quickly and thoroughly as possible. ee Ninety-seven laborers and skilled men oc- cupicd the walls of the new city post office today. The cold wave that is due tonight may check their efforts to prove that The Star's estimate of August 17, 1906, for the completion of the building fs fallacious. —_ + «+ ___ ‘Fhe course of events is such as to give the State Department a steady supply of opportunities to acquit itself with distinc- tion, or otherwise. —____+ «<- In view of the recent action of the New York state senate in passing the new Gerry whipping post law, the paper by Mr. El- bridge T. Gerry, the author of the bill, in the March issue of the North American Re- view in answer to the question: “Must we have the cat-o'-nine tails?” is of unusual interest. In this he states the object of punishment to be to discourage the repeti- tion of an offense elther by an offender, or, as he says the old law books have it, “by other evilly-minded persons in like manner offending.” It is not a retributive compensation for the injury inflicted nor is it intended solely to accomplish the indi- vidual reformation of the offender. Mr. Gerry goes on to point out that the aver- age criminal belongs to a class of persons for whom a prison has few terrors; the man of that sort in prison leads a purely animal existence and in general he is quite satisfied with his condition. He has been often known to commit crime anew upon emerging from his cell in order to return at once to what he considers his normal state of existence. The author asks whether, under such circumstances, some other means in addition to imprisonment may be judiciously resorted to that would tend to lessen the commission of crime. He speaks specially of crimes against children such as Lord Coke says are not so much as to be named among Christians, and shows there has been a startling, appalling in- crease of these unmentionable offenses in the city of New York. In 1893 there were there recorded forty-five such cases, in 1804 fifty-three cases, and the first month of 1895 indicates that on that basis there will be seventy-two cases for the present year. Mr. Gerry meets the argument that the revival of the whipping-post is degrading and barbarous by the assertion that noth- ing is more calculated to awaken in the criminal a sense of appreciation of the enormity of the offerse than a direct argu- ment applied to his person. The average criminal, he says, is more afraid of the lash than of a long term of imprisonment and he declares that there are many cases on record of reformations caused by ju- dicious applications of the whip as ancilla- ry to the cell. The Gerry law proposes to punish any male person convicted of a felony that re- sults in the infliction of physical pain upon the person of another by administering strokes or lashes not to exceed forty in number to be laid upon the bare back of the convict within a specified time by an efficer of the prison in which he is confined in the presence of the warden and of a duly licensed surgeon. The court has the r-ght to adjust the number of lashes to the physical condition of the convict and the enormity of the offense. It is not to be thought fhat any person can possibly be in- jured permanently or even seriously by such punishment. It might be better to provide for the appointment of small boards of witnesses to make doubly sure that keepers shall not be brutal or abusive in the discharge of this duty. If this pun- ishment should be adopted every precaution should be taken to rake it orderly. Public whippings are not to be considered as either desirable or effective. There is that element in men that causes any exhibition of human sufferings to be immensely at- tractive. There is bred in the minds of many of the spectators a feeling of resent- ment against the law and its operation that counteracts much of the good results of the punishment. Yet no corrective penalty should be applied in secret. The presence of a few representatives of the unofficial world would give to the proceeding a cer- tain quality of publicity that would go very far toward accomplishing the good results that this law is designed to attain. —__. -2 0 - —_____- It,is not surprising that the W.

The, only wonder is that the rebuke should stop th that incident of its career. —___-+ e+ ____ The desire of the District Commissioners to regulate the out-put of news is another exemplification of the famillar proposition that every man considers himself entirely competent to be an editor.

The place was dark, for the lights burned low, And men said “Hist” where they’d cried “What, ho!” And the street pianos would only grind In minor measures, “Pull Down the Blind.” And the clerks all sat in silent fear, ‘That a bold reporter might venture near, And they chewed thelr pencils o'er and o'er And murmured thelr wishes that Major Moore Would send an extra detachment there To bid the journalist bold “beware.” And whenever a footstep chanced to fall, With echoes long through the empty hall, At every transom a face so white, Like an old-time ghost at the dead of night, With eyes of terror the place would scan In dread of the newspaper bogle man. , Now, the newspaper scribe is a gulleless youth, With an inborn hankering after truth. But the truth is something, a few declare, ‘That can’t be handled, except with care. It is fragile, and, likewise, a restless thing, That works iike a jack-in-the-box on a spring. If you give it a start—why, thing’s out; And the guileless journalists never doubt That, Truth being “Beauty and Life and Love,” It’s only a philanthropic move To shatter the lock of official hush, Giving Beauty and so forth an extra push’ ‘Till they boldly stand where the world may see, ‘That the public may wise and better be. the whole But our three Commissioners, sage and good, Sat down to think—as Commissioners should, And resolved that while merit Truth dis- closes, It’s better in homeopathic doses.

Then the Secretary, if it’s expedient, Can carefully furnish each ingredient. But the guileless journalist, who, forsooth, Has freely quaffed at the well of Truth, Is likely to find it exceeding hard To treat this rule with profound regard.
