HE EVENING STAR has a regular and Permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertisiug Medium it las no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individanl connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorlal or Busiuess Depart- ments, necording to tenor or parpos: There is undoubtedly a good deal of pub- lic curiosity as to how much backbone the District Commissioners will show in the matter of the violation of the street-cai fender order by the local street railroads. That these corporations are now in default there is no question; they received warning from the Commissioners, these ofiicials re- sponding to prolonged and repeated de- mands from the public for this protection, that by the first of April they would be required to equip all cars propelled by other than horse power with certain pat- terns of fenders and wheel-guards or with any other patterns that met with the ap- proval of the Commissioners. The Com- missioners aré now in the position of hav- ing made a peremptory demand that has been practically refused. There is a pen- alty attached to non-compliance with the order. Will they go to the logical end of their authority and coilect that penalty? ‘The public naturally has an interest in the question. If the rvads can disregard or neglect an order so plainly in the interests of the people, without suffering for their defiance of the law, they can hereafter set aside with impunity any other regulation or ordinance that may be enacted for the protection of passengers or pedestrians. If it were true that the Commissioners had been at fault in giving too short a time for the full equipment of the cars with suit- able fenders that fact should have been made plain to the Commissioners and the public and a satisfactory showing pre- sented of the exercise of due diligence in the effort to equip every running car with the best fender and guard, and of the fact that the failure had not been due to neg- ligence and indifference. This show- ing should have been made to the Commissioners before the expiration of the prescribed time for making the equip- ment; it should have been considered cpen- ly and publicly and not behind closed doors, and should have been disposed of by the Commissioners befere the day when the penalties under the ordinance attached. It is somewhat laie in the day either for the railways to begin to make excuse or for the Commissioners, whose eyes give them certain information, to address polite in- quiries to the companies, requesting them to state whether they have obeyed the law and whether they consider themselves ex- cusable or inexcusable lawbreakers. The people of this city want the protection of the fenders. The order on this subject is not an April Fools’ joke played by the Commissioners personally upon the street railway companies. ——_ + = _____ There is a strong and reasonable sus- picion that the talent furnished to crack the safe of the ferry company yesterday morning, and to accomplish sundry other recent jobs of burglary and highway rob- bery has drifted across the river from the Jackson City haven of thugs at the south end of Long Bridge. The police are com- mendably vigilant in guarding the ap- proaches to the city by the two bridges, but it is next to impossible to guarantee safety to any local interest if the inhabitants and loungers at Jackson City and its kindred resorts take to invasion by water. Already the police are convinced that gangs of these hard characters enter the District every night by small boats. The wide expanse of the flats gives them an excellent chance to hide and escape if pursued, while the long stretch of river front makes complete supervision impracticable. The natural remedy lies in a hearty, earnest co-opera- tion by the Virginia authorities. With their aid the danger could be eliminated in a week; without it the District police are almost helpless to prevent the commission of all sorts of crime by unknown crooks who run quickly to cover under a jurisdic- tion which, in appearance at least, is friendly to them. Such a state of affairs ig intolerable. The streng contention of some of the best legal authorities of this city that Alexander Island belongs to the District should come to definite test at an early day. The result of an affirmative decision of the question might be that after the unclean spot had been cleansed and fumigated the same unwholesome growths would spring up again Just beyond the new District line. But at least the Virginia officials would have no excuse for further delay on the now-flimsy ground that their authority is uncertain. —— + __ Major McKinley during his call at the White House refrained from talking about the tariff, and the President with equal consideration restrained any inclination to discuss the duck question. ——- +++ —____ The Supreme Court will be deliberate about letting the public know whether or not Mr. Cleveland came out on the right side of the income tax question. —_- + o= ——__ Some of the old-timers are complaining that politics was quite fickle enough before woman decided to take a hand in it. ee A great wave of generosity has swept over the members of Brookiyn’s board of education, and they are considering a mu- nificent plan for the pensioning of school teachers of that city. The plan is simply to let the teachers pension themselves. One of the members of the board, discussing the subject in a recent issue of a New York paper, said he did not believe in public pensions for teachers, who by no means, in his vi tand in the same relation to the community ag policemen and firemen. He theught, however, that no harm could come from allowing the teachers to create a fund themselves by surrendering a small percentage of their monthly salaries, which would be managed by the board of educa- tion without any cost being incurred. Brooklyn's teachers’ association is not a new institution, and this measure which the board hopes to get through the legisla- ture is only a part of a long-established scheme by which the teachers, despairing of securing pensions from the city, have undertaken to aid themselves. This is also the basis of the Washington association of teachers, to which attention has been called more than once in the columns of The Star. ‘The teachers of Washington, like those of Brooklyn, ask merely the privilege of being allowed to form a pensicn fund out of their own means, though they may hope that eventually the government will see its way clear to lending a helping hand to this enterprise. There will always be a grave doubt as to the advisability of establishing any-civil pension Hst. In the case of po- ligemen and firemen some provision should unquestionably be made for insuring to the families of these men a livelihood in case of the death of the husband or father by accident in the line of duty. In the case of the teacher, however, there ts no able chance of physical disablement, the only question is whether the commu- nity should out of {ts own purse insure the Public educator against the encroachments of old age. There can be no question as to the great service rendered by the public ‘eacher te the community and to the fam- ly. The teacher is a guardian of the youth- ful mind, the conservitor of the good mor- als and the guod sense of the coming gen- eration. Under some systems of education the teacher can be made a mere machine; under others the teacher can become 43 great and as potent a factor as the states- men who makes the laws. Under any sys- tem that does not recognize the value of youthful energy in a corps of teachers there is an absolute danger that the chil- dren in many instances may not receive an adequate training simply because, through praiseworthy motives of sentiment and sympathy, teachers are retained long after they have passed their time of usefulness. The organizers of the local association point out the fact that the teacher of to- day, if conscientious, can easily spend all of a small salary in an effort not only to maintain life, but to achieve that degree of progressive intelligence that the stress of modern times requires in the public edu- cator. Considerable sums are annually spent by these public servants in travel, in attendance upon lectures, in the purchase of books and in other directions for the sole purpose of “keeping up with the times.” Few teachers can under such cir- cumstances save enough to provide for old age, and the day soon comes when they are not only beyond the age of greatest useful- ness, but when thelr presence in the ranks is a detriment and a drag on the generai efficiency of the public school system. The enterprise of the Washington asso- ciation is most commendable and deserves the support of all classes of citizens. A well-managed fund, such as the local plan contemplates, ought to be secured with comparative ease, and can undoubtedly be So well invested as to insure a large an- nual return, with which superannuated and enfeebled teachers may be pensioned and retired. This will cause more rotation in the ranks of the educators and less stag- nation in certain spots. The Washington Public school system has been built up to a@ point of such excellence that today it ranks among the best in the country. The Pension project of the teachers is one that will undoubtedly increase this reputation. —__~e =___ St. Louts has begun the preliminary steps for the establishment of a poor farm in that city on the lines of the “Detroit plan,” the potato patch scheme. Tais is the sea- sen for starting such enterprises. If any thing in that direction is to be done in this city this year no more days should be lost. There is no guarantee to be had now that next winter the need for collectiors to aid the poor will not be quite as pressing as last winter. The plan is not altogether ex- perimental; ancther city has given it a thorough trial and its success has appar- eatly been demonstrated. At any rate the project should be thoughtfuliy investigated Ty all citizens who are dealing with the subject of local charitable relief, and if the pian {is inapplicable to local conditions or undesirable on any ground, the reasons for this conclusion should be spread before the public. Then the decision reached will be a deliberate and intelligent judgment, and not a result of the lumpish inertia which postpones all labor until some great emerg- ency renders absolutely necessary hasty ac- tion, which in the unavoidable hurry is not always characterized by the highest wis- dom. —+>+>—____ There is little of consequence to be learned from the results of yesterday's elections as an indication of the trend of public feeling. There will be other ballot- ing during the week, and perhaps in a few days the politicians may be able to see some light through the rather murky at- mosphere of spring politics. ———__> ++ ____ The ladies of Connecticut and Ohio yes- terday demonstrated that they do take an active interest in politics, and that it will not be necessary to publish the names of all who ballot in the society column in order to secure their active participation in public affairs. —_—_o« =_—___ One hundred and thirteen men were at work on the city post office today, the tenth day of the second month of the fourth year of its construction.
