8 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY..............March 28, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation uch more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. @7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busin Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. The District has now secured an author- ized compilation of its existing general laws, which seems to merit and receive general approval. This compilation will serve as the foundation upon which a satis- factory code may be erected. The need of such a code has again and again been urged by The Star. The lively and intelligent in- terest in the subject, manifested at last night's meeting of the Board of Trade, gives strong encouragement to hope that this local want may before long be satisfied. Of course the capital’s demand for modern Jaws is no new thing. Just complaints in this respect were among the first municipal utterances of the infant capital. Successive would-be compilers or codifiers since the the time of Cranch have kept dangling be- fore the eyes of Congress the patchwork of District law full of ugly holes and excres- cences, but in vain. Still the people. of Washington have not been completely dis- ccuraged, and in view of their achievement of a satisfactory compilation, and of the determination displayed last night to push steadily forward until a code is secured, the inspiration of renewed hope gives im- Petus to the movement. It will be a great thing for the District even to have existing law collected from Its dozen different sources, and printed in con- venient shape for reference. In straight- ening inconsistencies and making intellig- ible the statement of existing law many an- tiquated provisions may be practically legislated out of existence by being treated as obsolete. But a clear statement of the law as it is should be only a preface to the improvement of that law. On the founde- tion of a compilation a comprehensive code or body of revised statutes wiping out the Present uncertain, inconsistent, antiquated, obsolete or obsolescent statutes should be secured, and in making this revision as much of the modern spirit of legislation, both in respect to substantive law and procedure should prevail, as the District can endure in undergoing the shock of change frum present law and methods. ‘Washington is a progressive nineteenth century city and an eighieenth century body of laws, merely disfigured by subse- quent random patching, is unsuitable to its condition. It is time that the statutes of the capital of the nation ceased to serve mainly as a museum of antiquities, won- ders and horrors to the investigator. The District needs modern laws for present use, which will aid instead of retarding its development as a modern municipality. —____+ «+ —____ It will probably be a mere beating of the air for an effort to be made now by the ju- dicial authorities of the District to appre- hend the unknown individual whose rough Play in the local Thanksgiving foot ball game caused the death of young Bahen. The verdict rendered yesterday by the coroner’s jury was unquestionably a sur- prise. Partisans of the game exclaim that the jurymen were unacquainted with mod- ern football and its rules, and no doubt the Phrase “foul play’ as used in the verdict was a misconception and a mistake. These words in such a connection necessarily have a special, technical meaning relating to peculiar conditions In the game, of which the jurymen were confessedly ignorant; a foul play such as the rules contemplate was not described by the evidence. Nor was the phrase accurate froin the point of view of the language of the law. The jury would have been quite justified in con- demning the play as rough, but beyond thig it was not well to go. Rough play it unquestionably was, indeed the roughest kind of play, brutal play. The game was of that class which make the action of the Harvard authorities in stopping further foot ball play by students of that university seem justifiable and praiseworthy. The death of Bahen is only one more evidence of the need of a radical revision of the rules of the game, which at present permit mass plays that are terribly dangerous. No man can distinguish details of the play, DO eye-witness could ever be relied upon to tell an accurate story of an accident such as that which has just resulted so sadly. There is a wild rush, a collision, a piling up of men on men, and somehow a man is hurt, an elbow, a knee, a foot may strike a vital part, and life is gone. The chances are shockingly good for fatal accidents. Rough players ought to understand that when they go on the field they take their chances not only of physical injury and even death, but also of prosecution and punishment for manslaughter, if they kill an opponent. The game needs to be re- formed. —__+ «+ The great difference between the Michi- gan man who lived without any brain and some of the members of the Fifty-third Congress is that the Michigan man talked with great difficulty. + 6 It may occur to Mr. Gresham that in the distribution of public business he is getting all the diplomacy and none of the ducks. —_—_—__ + o+____ Not since the days of the first suggestion that rain could be produced at the will of the dwellers on earth have any propositions for man to control the climate been suffi- ciently strange to startle a world already saturated with the noveity of the new sclence. So it is with a complecence that is really astonishing that the reading pub- lic accepts the statements of a distin- guished pair of savants who believe that the weather may eventually become sub- ject to the caprice of humanity. An En- glishman named Walker has just published an article in a British technical journal in which he sets forth his opinion that in a few years rain-making by electricity will be regarded as no more wonderful than the endeavor to harness Niagara in order to furnish half a dozen states with power. These theories were reported to Prof. Crocker, cf Columbia College, New York, who ranks very high among modern scien- tists, and while he disclaimed any notion of the methods whereby Mr. Walker pro- posed tu accomplish his end, he went on to dilate upon the possibilities of at least one scheme to control the climate. His theory was thai the most economical way would be to utilize the cold air of the arctic re- gions and the hot air of the torrid zone to counterbalance each other. The plan he outlines is apparently simple and easy of execution. It is merely to establish a pipe line between the two extreme regions, con- sisting of a tube of thin steel four or tive feet in diameter, into which the hot and cold airs of the antipodal zones would be pumped by means of great fans or blowers operated by the power derived from the waterfalls along the route. Intermediary stations could be supplied on the way with just that particular degree of atmosphere required to make things pleasant. Mixture stations, it is suppos would be built, gteat chambers into which the proper amounts of hot and cold air would be drawn, just as the luxurious bather turns on both sptgots until his tub contains that delightful mixture that is most conducive to comfort. Houses, even, could be supplied with taps of both kinds, and perhaps indl- vidual mixing chambers. Streets could be underlaid with series of tubes and the various degrees of caloric drawn as sum- mer heat or winter cold would make pedes- trians swelter or shiver. The enterprise, if privately conducted, would doubtless prove @ great moneymaker, but Prof. Crocker he- Teves that the scheme, if undertaken at all, should be under federal con‘rol. As & source of revenue to the country the plan might be a welcome invention. Such minor problems as price, loss of heat and cold by radiation, and right of way, are left by the scientist to the future. He declares, how- ever, that the pipe line as he has it in mind could be established at a cost not as great as that of laying a railroad, and would cost little or nothing to maintain. There are magnificent chances in the scheme. It is far less unreasonable than many suggestions that have been made in the name of science, and Prof. Crocker is not a man to dream of absolute impossiblli- ties. The introduction of the patent tem- perature governor would, to be sure, ren- der necessary some reorganization of the official weather bureau, which would then be made into a sort of governmental sup- ply house, ready to give out the commodity as required, instead of a prophecy shop. The official weather map—which The Star is now publishing daily to the great gratisi- cation of many amateur weather fore- casters and of its readers in general— would then be rather a program for the coming day than a guess at the proba- bilities. The weather man would be the greatest factor in human existence. He would be all-powerful, and would need to be above any suspicion cf personal influ- ence, for on his allotment of heat and cold to particular localities would depend great things, and if a venal man he might be susceptible to the persuasions of merchants with heavy lines of summer or winter clothing on hand which a sizzard or a biiz- zard would run up to a premium. —____ e+ --_—_ The publication of the full text of Great Britain’s demand upon Nicaragua shows that there was some ground for the com- plaint that this country was not properly considered or was discriminated against, or, to put it bluntly, was snubbed in the matter of the composition of the arbitra- tion commission. The British government new explains that there was no intention to exclude the United States from mem- bership in the arbitration by the use of the phrase “not a citizen of any American state.” The explanation, if made from a sufficient authority, will’ probably be ac- cepted, especially if the ultimate selection of a citizen of the United States for this service should demonstrate the sincerity of this construciion. Without some con- vincing proof of this sort the excuse offered by British diplomats that the words “Amer- ivan state” are always made to apply to the smaller states on this continent will seem rather thin. It is at least a ‘oose phraseology and might lead to. awkward misunderstandings and complications. ——_+ + —___ March is evincing a tendency to leave town very much like a lion, after the pro- verbial entry like a lamb.

Baby’s Future. “William,” said the proud mother to her husband, “I’m afraid baby is very back- ward. I never heard of a child of his age that didn’t talk any.” “H'm'm. Well, if we can’t do anything elge with him, we can get the District Commissioners to give him a pcsition.” Joxged His Memory. The absent-minded man had concluded his meai et the restaurant, and the waiter gently murmured: “Haven't you forgotten something, sir?” And the absent-minded man exclaimed, as he put his hand in his pocket: “How thoughtless of me! I certainly have forgotten that piece of silk my wife told me to match for her. Thank you, my good man, thank you. A Question of Policy. “Have we a foreign policy?” asked the man who becomes oratoricak when he dis- cusses pub'ic topics. “Well,” replied the youth who has been getting experience, “I don’t know whether you'd call it foreign policy or not; but Jackson City runs a game that our domes- tic authorities don’t scem able to do any- thing with.” Hope. “We are going to have a base ball nine That'll beat the world, they say; They will give us a game that is superfine.” And the brass band played “Some Day.” She Wondered. “They do tell me,” said Farmer Corntos- sel, ‘that some o' these here millionaires put in an hour a day clippin’ coupons.” “Dearie me!” exciaimed his wife. “That goes to show thet rich people is jest like other folks, after all. I wonder whut they air votin’ fur; the most popular policeman or the boy thet gits the bicycle?’ No Disrespect to the Adage. “What is the use of continually worry- ing about your héalth?" said the censori- ous citizen. “Life is but a span, anyhow.” “I krow that,” was the reply; “but there are spans and spans. I’m looking for some- thing on the Brooklyn bridge order.” A Suggestion. “What'll we do for news, with all the Congressmen at home?” said the rumor editor. “I don’t know,” replied his assistant, “unless”—snd eyes glowed with the fire of inspiration; “unless we get up a story that Senator Peffer is going to shave off his whiskers because a Kansas Trilby club wants him for Svengali.” THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1895-TWELVE PAGES.
