WASHINGTON. IDAY.......-.00000-.-March 15, 1895. iCROSBY 8. NOYES. .- Editor. THE &VENING 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. "In order to ayoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, Ictters to should not be dressed dual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. There is clearly a misunderstanding of [she situation tn the Green shooting case. When one who Is intrusted by the public with the duty of examining the matter sat- tsfies himself that Green did not intend to kill Foster, he ts not on that account at Mberty to acquit the policeman of all re- sponsibility for the homicide. Very few, indeed, think that this killing was a mur- der. The large majority will probably be- eve that Green had no destre or expecta- tion of killing the fleeing negro when he fired his revolver. But giving the officer the benefit of all the doubts, the fact re- mains that he discharged his revolver In violation of the police regulations and of the law, and that through recklessness and gross negligence in the manner of firing he put an end to the life of a human being. Both the police regulations and the law hold the officer in such a case to a certain Imeasure of responsibility, from which the fact that he did not intend to kill does not reiteve him. In view of the dangerous condt.tons which surround him in the per- formance @f certain of his duties the lot lof the District policemen {s not exactly a happy one. If a desperate character like Foster had .been killed while approaching the policeman or while struggling with him, the plea of self-defense would have given to the officer full protection. But in this case the officer was In no danger. Fos- er was running away, and the shot was red, net to protect the officer, but to frighten the runaway into a surrender. It is the conceded duty of the press and of fall law-abiding citizens to uphold the au- hority of the law in contests with crimi- als and sympathizers with criminals, but it is impossible te so extend and perver® he scape of this duty that anybody should ev] obliged to encourage the reckless use f deadly weapons by protecting Policeman reen from all punishment for his viola- ion of the police regulations and of the aw. —____+ e+ -—_—_ The proposal which seems to be seriously lconsidered by the citizens of Kensington, IMd., to drain the sewerage of that town into Rock creek raises a question in which ithe people of the District are deeply in- crested. The proposed plan, if carried out nd adopted by other Maryland settlements in ths Rock Creek valley, would not only menace the health of the District, but ‘ould destroy the most beautiful feature f the great Rock Creek Park. From the ‘ensington standpoint, the conclusion might be reached that as long as the sew- ge was conveyed to Rock creek and arried into waters away from the Ken- ington neighborhood, there need be no further concern. But no doubt the fact ill be recognized at Kensington that Rock reck after leaving that town passes through a picturesque region which, by act Congress and the money of the taxpay- rs of the District jointly with the con- ribution of the United States, has been ‘forever set apart as a pleasure ground for he public. The stream then enters the ity and traverses a section which in part as been closely built up and ts destined in the future to contain a still denser popula- ‘fion. The District authorities have recog- ized the menace to public health which ready exists in vsing the lower portion of ock creek as a sewer, and provision is ade in the proposed new sewer system to lo away with this objectionable feature by the construction of intercepting sewers. ‘he creek along its whole course must be rotected from sewage. —_—__+ e=—____ Mrs. Lydia Dominis promises to become n elephant on the hands of the Hawaiian ‘epublic. She has been sentenced to five ears’ imprisonment, but there seems to e no proper place in which to incarcerate er. Negotiations are now pending for her ransportation to some quiet nook in Eng- land, where she can mourn her sad fate n $10,000 a year, which is reported to be he present size of her private income. Her former friends are turning annexationists, nd clubs and leagues are being formed in half of political union with this country yy the men who a few months ago were jealous in her cause. Liliuokalani would ave been worldly wise to decide to come lo America to star in the museum field. jhe would have been a very drawing fea- lure of the amusement world. —___+ ++ —___ The western farmers are now using their rbed wire fences as telephone lines with ‘eat success. One man has a five-mile ircult that Is run through a twelve-year- id fence. These lines are said to work ell and to give far less trouble than some thers of the regular sort. This is pro- ‘essive economy with a vengeance, and juite puts into the shade the popular hrase which associates a man’s vocal pparatus with his head-gear as a medium f transmission. The western fashion now to talk through the fence instead of Ihrough the hat, a process that is easy jor eastern domestics, but is more valua- le in results in a region where neighbors re miles apart. ——_ + +e ___ It may be that electrical sctence réceived serious set back when a New York fire lestroyed the laboratory of Nikola Tesla, Ihe wonderful young Servian, who has ade such astonishing discoveries by neans of his experiments with the electri- jal fluid. Tesla’s ambition has been to jerfect the system of electric lighting with- ut wires, which he claimed he had dis- jovered, and he says now that he was yithin reach of the goal when the fire and electrical progress will be re- rded if he should be discouraged by his ss from continuing his work. —~>+es—____. The reduction of wages in a Connecticut rset factory is made the subject of much jolitical comment. It ts strange that the ress-reformers are so backward about de= laring their responsibility for the decrease the factory’s business. —_~e++__. Without definite information on the sub- ct it is reasonable to assume that David Hill has been asked how he likes his lucks cooked. —___++____ ‘Those who sneer at the suggestion that reat Britain is seeking to undermine the merican interest In Hawali and to rob his country of the very profitable trade ith those Islands may be edified if not together gratified by the most recent re- rt from Consul General Mills at Hono- ju on the state of trade. He sets forth he fact that the Canadian steamers are w carrying quantities of goods hereto- re freighted in American bottoms, and he ows further that the British trade is en- yoaching on the territory that was for- erly supplied almost exclusively from lifornia. This tendency, he says, is eadily increasing, to the evident detri- ent of the commercial interests of the inited States. The reason for this phe- menon is not hard to find. The British icy toward Hawali, as toward all other luable detached communities, has always THE EVENING STAR, | een one of aulet aggression both in trade and politics. This process uniformly pro- ceeds to the point when possession can be secured by a bold stroke of diplomacy or force. That such a stroke is a part of the British plan as regards Hawaii cannot be doubted for a moment by those who have followed at all closely the colonial history of Great Britain and the more recent events in the Islands. The British foreign policy has at least one admirable feature; it is unflinchingly consistent so far as re- lates to the strengthening of the chain of British posts that even now extend with such frequency and regularity around the world that it has been truly said that the sun never sets on the Union Jack. Such a policy is not desired by the people on the part of the United States which has no aspirations to a world-wide dominion, but had even a small fraction of the persist- ence of England been shown by America in the Hawaiian question in which it is prop- erly and deeply interested the situation weuld today be far different. Vacillation in foreign affairs by an administration that carnot even meddle consistently has shaken American credit abroad and has damaged American commerce. —___++2—__—_—_ The Brooklyn trolley cars on Tuesday night killed their one hundred and fourth victim. The overhead system of. electric Propulsion was inaugurated in Brooklyn in the latter part of 1892 and has now been in operation about thirty months, which makes an average of about three and one-half deaths a month. The strong- est plea in excuse offered by the friends of the trolley has been that a great majority of the victims in Brooklyn are children, whose reckless use of the streets as a playground makes it impossible for the motormen, even with the greatest care, to avoid running them down. A full list of all the victims of the overhead trolley in Breoklyn has just been printed in a New York paper and completely refutes the contention that the cars ‘have caused fatal accidents mainly on account of the youth of the victims. Forty-eight of those that have been killed since the inauguration of the overhead system in Brooklyn were under fifteen years of age, while fifty-six, or more than a majority of the total num- ber, were over fifteen. As a matter of fact, the age of fifteen should not be taken as the limit at which a child cannot take care of itself in the streets. It is no excuse for any fatal accident to a child over ten years. Such cases must be attributed directly to the negligence of motormen or the unman- ageability of the car, except in very rare cases. The deadly trolley must find a bet- ter argument than that based on the age of its victims if it hopes to convince the public that it is a blessing instead of a menace. ——_+ «+ ____ The Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer is one of the very few newspapers of America that have begun their second century, and its centennial number, which now arrives, is a most valuable issue. This prosperous and interesting journal was established in June, 1794, and the great issue of March 9 is designed to celebrate the commence- ment of what will doubtless prove a second hundred years of usefulness and success. ‘The forty pages are filled with varied mat- ter, and special interest attaches to a sec- tion devoted to a review of the history of the century, in which are reproduced many quaint chapters from former days, leaves from the past that bear the un- mistakable imprint of the youth of Ameri- can journalism. —_—__ «+ ____. An effort has been made to show that Edgar Allen Poe did not write “The Raven.” This fact should give the Bacon- lan theory some encouragement. But the tendency of all this investigation is to bring the world face to face with the para- doxical proposition that, in spite of tradi- tions to the contrary, poetry is not written by poets. —____ + +____.

The Man for the Work. “I have an assignment for you,” said the city editor to the dull-sickening-thud re- porter. “Something in my line?” “Yes. Go down to the District buildings and take charge of the Commissioners’ muffiied reports.” High. “Mamie and I have made a wager on the age of the prima donna we saw last week,” sald the young woman. “Are the stakes high?” “Yes, indeed. We bet a brand new the- ater hat.” Current Event. Once more the duck serenely glides Where southern skies are fair; Once more the raging Congressman Will issue from his lair, Bigger Game. “Do you think thet some o’ those sug: Senators would fight fur their country asked Mrs. Corntossel. “No; I can’t say I do,” replied her hus- band, thoughtfully; “they’re mostly too busy fightin’ fur the earth.” The Tables Turned. “Henry,” said Mrs. Meekins, as she put the finishing touches to her toilet, prepara- tory to a bicycle ride, “I dislike to hurt your feelings.”” “Do you, my dear?” “Certainly, but I can’t wear the neckties that you bought for me. They are simply outrageous combinations of color. There is one thing that a man should never under- take, and that is to select his wife's cra- vats and suspenders.” Supplanted. Oh, where's the girl of long ago, with un- affected grace, Whose wealth of simple loveliness the poets joyed to trace? Alas—we are constructed on an economic plan— “'Tis the age of special uses,” says the sclentific man. So now tt’s Trilby’s foot that’s called a wonder of delight, Or a shoulder shown by Katisha that daz- zles mortal sight; A tooth, a hand, a finger-nail, is all we care about, And the dear all-round good-looking girl is left completely out. | CLARK'S DOUBLE ‘734-6 Tth st.
