THE EVENING STAR, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY...........0++0-02-ADril 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. 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. C7In 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 Bu: Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Judge Cole, in his remarks concerning the need of a comprehensive and modern code of laws for the District, discriminated between a crude code, which would be dangerous and injurious, and a code, suit- ably prepared with reference to existing District conditions, which would be benefi- cial in the highest degree. Of course, it would not do to uproot all existing law, whether legislature-made or court-made, to which local interests have in the course of many years adjusted themselves, and sub- stitute therefor a brand-new set of stat- utes as adopted and used with good re- sults in some state of the Union. What the capital needs is not the best body of Jaws in the abstract, but the best that the District can endure without a radical, revolutionary and disastrous unsettling of all sorts of legal rights, as they now exist. The code to be setisfactory should be framed by the District- for the District and through those who are thoroughly informed as to the present condition of District law. The judges of the local courts ought to be Grafted for this work, and properly com- pensated for it, as the labor would be leg- islative, ard not judicial. The judges might well be assisted in the preparation of the code by a few local lawyers of ability. If the code were prepared by Washington legal talent and indorsed after thorough consideration by the District judges, it would stand an excellent chance of re- ceiving the city’s indorsement, of running unharmed the gauntlet of Congress, and of conferring a vast benefit upon the District of Columbia. —_——_+++—___ The District police are showing a com- mendable zeal in attempting to discourage the desire of the maladorous fraternity who infest Jackson City and the race track at the south end of Long Bridge to mingle in the society of the capital, and they were on duty again yesterday at the north end of the bridge with the most gratifying regults. It becomes an interesting question as to just how long this process can be kept up; it would seem as though the population of Jackson City might be exNausted after a while if that community should continue to furnish inmates for the Washington jail for very many weeks. How soon the nest could be broken up if there were only a proper amount of enterprise and willing- ness on the other side of the river! What is apparently needed is a modern edition of St. Patrick to drive the human reptiles and vermin from the shores of Virginia into the outside “anywhere.” The District is not particular whither the swindlers and gam- blers and others of that ilk are forced to travel so they are not compelled to locate in Washington permanently. It is hardly fair to the taxpayers of the District that they should be obliged to support these unwel- come visitors at the jail merely because the officials of Alexandria county are not equal to their task. Yet they are better off In the District jail, as far as the good peo- ple of the District themselves are concern- ed, than they are at Jackson City or in any of the other crooked communities across the Potomac. —___+ o-«-—_____ ‘The coming of April is marked by a slight revival of political interest on account of the spring elections that are held in a number of communities. These minor elec- tions are always Interesting in a mild way, because to the acute political mind they indicate something cf the ebbing and flow- ing of the tide of public favor. Four years ago the April elections were watched with unusual concern, as it was thought that they would prove a valuable straw in point- ing the wind as regarded the presidential election of 1892. The democratic wave of the autumn before was followed in the spring elections by further democratic victories which forecasted quite clearly the result in 1892, when Mr. Cleveland was re-chosen. This year the conditions are reversed. The tidal wave of November swept away the democratic majority in the House and placed the republicans in the escendency in nearly every quarter. The Politicians are therefore watching the re- sults of the week’s balloting, eager to learn if history is about to be repeated. There will be three state elections. Michigan will vote today for a justice of the supreme court and regents of the state university; Wisconsin will vote tomorrow for an asso- ciate justice of the supreme court and minor judicial officers; on Wednesday Rhode Island will vote for a full state ticket. In addition to these elections there will be local tickets chosen in many cities and towns, the most important being in Chicago and St. Louis. —_+es____ A young girl has just diel in Brooklyn from a poisonous injection of what was thought to be pure antitoxine. This case will point the need of a very strict law to regulate the preparation, sale and use of this powerful remedy as well as others of a similar character, which, being derived from the very elements of the disease it- self, are of course most dangerovs. Phy- siclans must not depend upon mere titles and labels to guard against fatal accidents. Carelessness in the preparation of so radi- cal a remedy should be severely punished to warn the users of the material that they are handling edged tools and taking grave risks. There is an unfortunate tendency to welcome each rew bacteriological dis- covery with an eager confidence in its never-failing utility, while the fact remains that even where the remedies are pure con- stitutional differences materially affect the results obtained. —~e+—_____ The Supreme Court of the United States has taken great care to preserve secrecy ccncerning the decision on the income tax. And the District triumvirate softly mur- murs “Me and the Supreme Court.” ———_+- + _____ The numerous stupid jokes perpetrated in honor of today cause regret that ar- rangements cannot be made for the as- signment of an April Fool-killer for this especial occasion. . —~e+___ The syndicate writers probably wish that Prince Bismarck would have an eightieth birthday every other week. He is a verita- ble gold mine. —_—__+ es ____ Members of the W. C. T. U. have agreed to remove their hats.at all indoor gather- ings. Here’s many happy theater parties to them! —> « -—___ The week begins with the international skies, from the point of view of the United States, much clearer. Two of the most awkward diplomatic questions that con- fronted the administration a week ago have now been practically smoothed over for the present, Spain having given a guar- antee of sincerity in the Allianca case and Great Britain having softly stroked the ruffled feathers of the American eagle in regard to the ultimatum to Nicaragua. Another personal difficulty was wiped away by the appointment of Senor Depuy de Lome «es Spanish minister in the place of Senor Muruaga. There now remain two exceedingly interesting cases, that of ex- Consul Waller, who has been ‘sentenced by the French in Madagascar to twenty years’ imprisonment, and that of Mrs. Renton, whose husband was killed a year ago in Honduras. The main difficulty in each of these cases is that of ascertaining the ex- act facts, for it is not to be supposed that there would be any denial of the claims of this country for indemnity if it should be proved that Waller, an American citizen, was imprisoned for an inadequate offense after an unfair trial, or that Renton’s mur- derers could have been punish®d and his Property preserved by the exercise of a proper amount of vigilance by the Hon- duran government. —__+ + + ____- One hundred and eleven workingmen tried to play an April fool joke on the Wash- ington public today by endeavoring to "finish the city post office building before night. They are making a courageous at- tempt to discredit The Star’s original esti- mate that it will be August 17, 1906, before the structure is ready for occupancy, but Supervising Architect Aiken will doubtless have a chance to fill out the natural term of office that falls to the lot of that func- tionary and have time to spare before the Washington postmaster—whoever he may ues @ house warming in the new build- Be ——_+ ++ A bill has been intrcduced in the Dela- ware legislature to legalize the peach blos- som as the symbolic emblem of the state. In view of the present political situation in Delaware some allegorical device represent- ing a hard frost and a blighted bud would be quits appropriate. —_—_ + e____ - Dr. Parkhurst states that he has given assistance to a western city which wants reform. The doctor should think twice be- fcre undertaking a contract so compre- hensive as the establishment of a National Investigation and Municipal Purification Syndicate. ——_~+ ++ ___ One of the delegation of students will make a long oration for the Prince's edifi- cation as a portion of the birthday cele- bration in honor of Bismarck. This re- vives the familiar question of whether great men really enjoy themselves. ——++<«— Thomas Platt is quoted as saying “scratch a reformer and you find a liar.” He evi- dently is not impressed by the fact that the epigram market is a little crowded just at present. ————~ ++ ____ Henri Rochefort refers to duelling as “ignoble slaughtering.” This phrase ap- plied to the Gallic style of combat affords a striking illustration of the vividness of the French imagination. ——_++-_____ There is a growing sentiment against People who pose either as statesmen or living pictures. This is the anniversary. of Bismarck’s birthday. But he never was anybody's April fool. ——_+ + —____. SHOOTING STARS. Devotion. Aeneas may betide, thou art beautiful still. Though strange thoughts may darken thy humors; Though thou comest in garb that doth grewsomely thrill, Thou art beautiful; even in bloomers, Her Disposition. “It’s her disposition to make light of serious things,” he said, mournfully. “Yes.” replied Cholly Luvlorn. “She even burns the poetry I write about her.” A Possibility. She vowed she loved you yesterday, And yet, young man, keep cool, For when you call tonight she may Sigh softly, “April fool.” A Sorrow of Greatness. “Pa,” said the small boy, “what are the Penalties of greatness?” “Well,” replied the eminent officeholder, with a sigh, “one of them is having the income tax collector know, offhand, just how much money you get a year.” April Fool. “Did you celebrate April Fools’ day?” asked Mr. Hackinton’s nephew. “Yes. I take care not to let any holiday go by without observing it in some way. So I went down town and looked at the new post office, first on the outside and then on the inside.” An Injastice. “Dear me!” .exclaimed the girl from Bos- ton. “I wofder why the newspapers have so much to say about crooked race tracks.” “Why, because so many are that way.” “I never in my limited opportunities for observation noted any such. It has been my fortune to encounter only race courses which were far from deserving the epithet crooked, in that they were admirable specimens of the geometric form known as the ellipse. Still, there may be others.” Concerning Shad. Oh, minstrel of the wood in spring; Sweet bird, with melody so glad, Let others greet you; I shall sing Of the broad-chested, generous shad. Yours is the path of diligence; You find where that is to be had Which gives refinement so intense That you surpass your race, oh, shad. There is no rose without its thorn, And bones, as thorns, are ’most as bad; But e’en the kicker scorns to mourn The barbs which guard your charms, oh, shad. Ambrosia on the mountain top Was what the mythic heroes had, And hints which learned “persons drop Show that ambrosia was shad. ’Tis Fate’s harsh rule that those deceased Know not their epitaphs. "Tis sad - That you, the hero of the feast, Your praises may not hear, oh, shad. ood The Architect's Office. From the U. S. Government Advertiser. The new supervising architect has come at last, but there is yet, of course, no sign or promise of new methods. Architect Aiken, who is reputed to be a man of abil- ity and experience, will probably assume charge of his oftice on the Ist proximo. He will find confronting tim numerous mat- ters demanding fair and sensible judgment. ‘The new architect takes his place at the head of an office which can boast of a larger accumulation of evils than any branch of the general government with which the contractor has anything to do. We recall in no other office of the Wash- ington departments so many flagrant eva- sions of law and such frequent exhibitions of contempt for the bidder. Some of the objectionable features of the office have continued without hindrance since Architect O’Rourke’s dismissal, and the fact that nothing was done to improve the service—save the reorganization of the office on lines which do not correct the real abuses—has been the main and proper cause for criticism of the administration within the past few months. It was to be expected that those who had to do with the office would appreciate the opportuni- ties for improving the service and take prompt means of removing all obstructions to an impartial dispatch of public business. We confess to a_ keen disappointment at this inactivity and disinterestedness on the part of the officials who have been conduct- ing the affairs of the architect's office, for we were led to expect that their known fairness and experience would suggest the woys and means of, as well as the neces- sity for, reform. —____+ ++ ___—_ Another Holiday Suggested. From the New York Advertiser. The people of Germany make a great ado over Prince Bismarck’'s birthday, and yet, great as his services were to Germany, they were not 89 great as Abraham Lincoin’s were tu the United States, Let us have a Lincoln day.
