6 . THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, i895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. seeeee-ADEH 25, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much mecre than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In 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 E rial or Business Depart- ments, nccording to tenor or purpose. Advocates of the “greater Washington” —the city whose borders will soon be the beundaries of the District of Coiumbia— will be gratified that the diligent labors of the engineer department of the District in planning the street extensions have reached the point where the first section of the plan approved by the Commissioners can be given to the public. The work has been one of extreme difficulty and delicacy. It was impossible, of course, to please every- bedy. Some property had to be benefitted, just as other property would necessarily suffer damage and depreciation in value. For the general welfare, the utmost speed in the making an@ completion of, the map was essential; every month of delay meant simply so much more expense. Had the work which is now being done been ac- complished twenty years ago, its entire ccst would have been but a tithe of the amount that must be spent to put the plan which was sketched in yesterday's Star into operation. Twenty years more of Procrastination would quadruple the cost and multiply a hundred-fold the inconven- iences that must be suffered before the re- form can be considered complete. With the map and the offictal statement before their eyes, the owners interested in the section approved by the Commissioners, may now, if they have grievances, appeal to thg beard of revision, whose consent to the plan is necessary. The community, as a whole, will hope that individual, owners will, in the general interest, endure with public-spirited patience minor and unavoid- able hardships to which, in the consumma- tion of this great public improvement, they may be subjected. 0 It would be very gratifying to the public if the courts could construe the act of Nevember 22, 1862, to prohibit the string- ing of any more overhead wires in the District. There is no lack of Congressional prohibition against such nuisances, as there is now a law on the statute books, the application of which has not been questioned—it being the latest legislation on the subject—but this is held to be in- operative because it fails to provide a pen- alty for its violation. The omission is an- other of the many instances of hasty, poorly prepared legislation. The only other barrier between the telegraph, telephone and electric light companies and complete Possession of the upper regions is this act of 1862, which is sufficiently precise in the matter of penalties, fixing a fine of from $25 to $50 a day for the occupa- tion of public space for private purposes. The erection of overhead wires is an ele- ment of great danger in any large city, where the streets are closely built, and the danger from, fire increases with each square foot ground occupied by build- ings. To leave the upper regions free from obstructions so that the fire-fighters may not ke hampered in their work is but the merest precaution, such as would be ob- served by all property owners without being compelled by law to conform to the rules of good sense. It is unnecessary to repeat the many objections to these ugly, disfiguring and dangerous wires. If there be any virtue in this law of 1862 let it be applied in all its severity, and then let there be a strong effort made next winter to obtain from Congress a new law, and an adequate one, that will not only pro- hibit under penalty the further stringing of overhead wires, but also require the removal of those that are now in the air. —_—___+ «+ — Secretary Morton will have the good will and support of most of the people in his ef- forts to throw light on the mysterious op- erations that have recently caused the re- tail price of beef to rise to an extortionate figure. The interview with him printed tn The Star yesterday shows that he is fully alive to the importance of the case, and also to the shrewd methods of the opera- tors of the alleged combination of specula- tors who are seeking to force rich and poor consumers alike /to contribute to their purse. It is very evident that the rise in the price has‘ been caused by something more substantial than the sentiment aroused by Secretary Morton’s inquiries concerning the corner in this commodity. The hue and cry raised at the various beef centers and by the operators themselves, condemnatory of the Secretary, sounds very much like the shout of “stop thief,” which is the resort of a fleeing pilferer. But the people cannot be fooled all the time. ‘The inquiry of the Secretary threatens to expose the machinations of the trust, and this is precisely what that manipulator of the market seeks to avoid. Hence the wail that the Secretary himself is causing all the trouble. It will serve these greedy ap- erators—who are seeking to grow suddenly “rich off the hontst appetites of consumers— perfectly right to have the gates of South American trade opened and the markets filled with good beef from that quarter and from Mexico, thus breaking the corner that seems to exist. The Secretary is waging a good fight, and he will surely win the esteem of the purchasing ciass, even if he becomes persona non grata to the members of the combine. — + Mayor Strong evidently gives the question of previous experience serious considera- tion in engaging his reform heip. —__ +++ —___ British occupation of ihe port of Corinto for the purpose of collecting Nicaraguan customs dues until the claims of alleged-to- be outraged British subjects are satisfied will not commend itself to the people of the United States, although the operation, when viewed from the British standpoint, may seem necessary. The facts in the case are generally understood. A British vice- consul, stationed at Bluefields, committed acts which the Nicaraguan government deemed sufficiently serious to call for that person's expulsion, and he was promptly expelled. As reparation for his exile and for the manner in which it was brought about the deported vice-consul has de- manded something like seventy thousand dollars. Great Britain—always careful of even the most selfish Interests of its sub- jects—has peremptorily insisted upog pay- ment of the demand, and, as Nicaragua has evidently favored delay, Her Majesty's government has set out to collect what it declares to be a debt by arbitrary process of a sort quite common in the history cf Great Britain's dealings with other and feebler nations. As a necessary ccnse- quence that rather vague declaration com- monly known as the Monroe doctrine has once more achieved prominence, and every- where people are asking whether the occu- pation of Corinto {s not in violation of the principles to the support of which this re- public seems to be pledged. There are two sides to the question. If it shall appear that Great Britain is endeavoring to play in Nicaragua the same game which has been so successfully worked in Exypt, it will be entirely proper for the Un’ nited States to make vigorous r should diplomatic effort prov demonstrate unmistakably th su which is now being questioned. It is en- tirely safe for us to be suspicious ef Great Britain whenever the possibility of pos- sessing new territory is anywhere in sight, and because of the sentiment which we term the Monroe doctrine, and Lecauge the great inter-oceanic canal must run through Nicaraguan soil, so we are justified in be- ing more alertly suspicious than usval. But, on the other hand. unless the United States is prepared to become responsible to Europe for the behavior of the frequently erratic and often absurdly-pbumptious little nations to the south of us, the republic may naturally hesitate before actively and forcibly interfering at this juncture in be- half of Nicaragua. It ts difficult to avoid the belief that our government could have prevented the republic from being con- fronted with this dilemma. This is not a pugnacious administration so far as Eng- land is concerned. Had :hese embarrassing conditions arisen under administrations not so long departed there would today be a fine fleet of American cruisers at Corinto, which, in connection with vigorous diplo- matic representations made to England earlier in the game, would cause the prob- abilities to be decidedly adverse to the landing of a British force in Nicaragua. Evidently nothing has heen-sald or done to arouse the slightest suspicion in Great Britain that our administration cannot be safely bluffed. « ——~+ +e —___ As was to have been expected, from the statement of facts published at the time of the casualty, the driver of the coal cart by the collision with which the New York bicyclist, Mr. Center, lost his life some days ago, was exonerated from all blame by the coroner's jury acting in the case. The fact is, and the sooner cyclists under- stand it the better all round, accidents to themselves or to foot passengers are in most instances due to their own reckless- ness or carelessness. This is especially true of that class of riders who, with back humped-up and head bowed-down, seek to make the fastest speed possible, whether on country roads or in crowded city streets, without looking out to see what is ahead of them or likely to cross their path. These fre the men who ought to be suppressed, along with the dangerous fools who drive vehicles at a high rate of speed around Street corners, without regard to the rights of foot passengers. ——- +e -___ “It does not appear that the United States are at all anxious to take a hand@ in the difficulty between Great Britain and Nicar- agua. Everything: is ‘indeed well between us and the United States.”” —London Daily Chronicle. In view of the subserviency of our pres- ent government to the British in Hawaiian affairs and in every other case where Americar and British interests have con- flicted this complacent opinion concerning the probable attitude of the administration in the Nicaraguan matter would seem to be justified. Dr. Parkhurst is doubtless a man of strict ideas, but he will hardly go so far as to ask Theodore Roosevelt to place his hand over his heart and declare that he never went fishing on Sunday. —_—_+ +2 ___ In the Asiatic struggle Corea has drifted into about the same position of relative importance as that customarily occupied by Washington at the close of a baseball season. —___. ++ ‘The Marine Band is reported to be all right, but the people who deal in political keynotes are stiH threatened with embar- rassment. To a man with Altgeld’s confidence in his ability to run the universe the task of editing a newspaper seems like child’s play. ———————— When it comes to collecting another country’s revenues for it England is one of the most obliging nations on earth. —____ + e+ —____ In probing the mystery of the rise in the price of beef Secretary Morton neglected to get a confession from Williams. ——___+ o+____ There is a feeling that England’s Nica- Taguan occupation means a@ job for this copntry. 0 -e SHOOTING STARS.

From the New York Tribune. John C. Carr and Dennis McLaughlin ap- pear to have secured control of the St. Asaph track. Carr is reported as saying openly that the western turf congress is now ready to receive St.. Asaph with open arms. He intimates that racing will be continued indefinitely at St. Asaph, with foreign books and all the accessories that made Guttenburg infamous. It is not so long ago that a New Jersey court of com- petent jurisdiction sentenced both John C. Carr and Dennis McLaughlin to the Hud- son county jail for four months, and every right-minded, honest citizen of New Jersey firmly believes’ that the sentence was far too lenient and that the scoundrels who made Guttenburg possible should be be- hind the bars instead of being at liberty to inflict further injuries upon racing and upon the public. Now that the Virginia Jockey Club seems to have outlined its policy, prompt action by the lovers of hon- orable racing should be taken in order to place the club where it rightly belongs. The Jockey Club should not hesitate, now that the intentions of the Guttenburg ele- ment have been openly proclaimed. More- over, the De Reszkes of the turf should not appear or be represented at the continuous of a dime museum character. her should the Jockey Club properties, ch as starters, clerks of the scales, or ry of the other “props.,” be loaned to hance the freak shows of the turf. § Kann, Sons | Woodward & Co., 8TH & MARKET SPACE Remmants, You can always look for a Remnant Ad. on Friday.
