THE EVENING STAR bes a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. clin order to count of person: THE STAR sho to any individ avold delays, on ac- 1 absence, letters to not be addressed connected with the office, but atmply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, 2 os to tenor or purpose. Even Sherlock iin saree elously skil- ful as a deductionist—would, were he alive, find himself in a bifurcated sort of a situa- tlon if he attempted to reason out the status of the car-fender law in this city. - In response to public sentiment of the flatly- eutspeken sort, the District Commissioners, after much delay, promulgated a police regulation which had behind it the solid support of direct Congressional enactment— a regulation which insisted that vy April. 1 every mechanically-propelled street-car in Washington should be equipped with a suit- able fender and wheel-guard. Failure on the part of the companies to comply+with the law meant, if the law were enforced, legal assessment to the extent of $25 a car for each day of offending. The very recent appearance of fenders on some of the Fourteenth street cars of the Washington & Georgetown Company might lead Mr. Holmes to the belief that the fender-compel- ling order has not been rescinded; for it is the custom of corporations to refrain from indulgence in extraordinary expenditures sunless there is application of governmental force. But if the order has not been re- scinded, why is it that no other mechanical- ly-operated road is engaged in following the example set on the Fourteenth street line? Can it be that the Commissioners are, with extraordinary deliberation and unlimited secrecy but unflinching purpose, engaged in compelling the Washington & Georgetown Company to equip one-third of its cars and have exempted: the other two- tkirds and all the other companies from the operation of the law? It might be that Mr. Holmes would, after careful investigation, reach the conclusion that the order had been rescinded and that the car-equipping which is being done by the Washington & Georgetown Company was a voluntary con- cession made by a liberal corporation. There are, however, obvious difficulties in the way of ready aceptance of this theory even if it had the approval of such a genius as Mr. Holmes appears to have been. Appeals have been made to the Ccmmissioners for such direct information on this point as the public would appar- ently be entitled to, but of favorable re- sponse there has not been any. With that remarkable preference for being mysterious which sometimes afflicts people who are “clothed with a little brief authority,” the Ccmmissioners—or a majority of them—have not yet indicated whether they think they Rave the power to suspend the law, or if they have, whether the law has or has not been suspended, or, if the law is not sus- pended, why it is nqt enforced. Such secrecy is inexcusable, but the Commis- sioners—or a majority of them—seem to have made up their minds that if they must blunder it were better to blunder in secret than openly and as the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia cannot hold them to close accountability—which is the weak point in cur local form of government—the evil will probably continue to be until the Commis- gioners—or a majority of them—make be- lated discovery of the fact that they are servants of the public and not dictators. To the average resident of the District of Columbia—the man who rerely goes very far beneath the surface for material upon which te base his ideas—the situation has this appearance: the Commissioners or- dered all companies operating mechanical- ly-moved cars to equip every car with wheel-guards and pick-up fenders by April 1; nearly thirty days have passed away since the law became effective, yet with one trifling exception the law 1s being com- pletely ignored both by the companies who should be controlled by it and by the Com- missioners whose duty it is to enforce it. There is no middle ground. Lither there ts a law or there is not. If there is, why are the Commissioners so extraordinarily inac- tive? If there is not, why do not the Com- missioners say so, explaining their reasons, which may be good, for temporarily sus- pending the law? Is interest in this im- portant matter of fender equipment con- fined entirely to the Commissioners and the corporations? Have rot the people whose lives are endangered by the absence of fenders some rights to protection, to con- sideration, and to information in the mat- ter, which even a District Commissioner is bound to respect? — + 0 The movement to change the name of the Ecwery on the ground that its reputation has been damaged might without incon- sistency extend itself to a suggestion that the name of New York be changed for the same reason. —_—__ + e+ ____ The Monroe doctrine would be much less Hable to bring upon us embarrassing com- plications if it had included some method of binding over the little Southern countries to keep the peace. ———_ +++ —--_— There is in the country a restricted but earnest objection to Secretary Morton for the reason that when he Institutes an in- vestigation he 1s liable to discover some- thing. > © The leather trust in selecting the present time for the elevation of prices does not appear to be deeply .impressed with the sincerity of the Trilby‘craze. +o. Niagara Falls proposes to get down to work and do something useful in the world. This should remind Great Falls that it has been a magnificent trifler long enough. Soe eee Oa During the last session of the Fifty-third Congress there came to this country a member of the British parllament who pre- sented to the President to Congress a petition signed by more than three hundred members of parliament, esking for tion which would result in an agreement between the United States and Great Britain to settle all disputes by arbitration. Ths righteousness of such a proposition was evident to every one, but no action was taken. In view of the fact that the signers of that communication constituted a ma- Jority of the house of com:nons, it would be quite as proper for those same members to declare for the need of arbitration in the Franco-Malagasy dispute, but so far there has been no saggestion of such a very de- sirable way of settling a difficulty that now threatens to result In the crushing of | a progressive people. An appeal, therefore, has Leen made te the United States-- through the press—for the exertion of mora! influenc> such as may cause France to sub: rit its claim to a court of ar! in question, which Harvey of the Madagas Alagasy, there Abts of Fr instances have Chive alin is the just oe. as notable any desire to p! y of bee hoe shown, the w strngeling. asa and the diplom not acting in rn of the might of They are fully aware that the odds are vast, almost overwhelming, but they will rether be decimated than yield. Never since the days when heroic little Switzer- lard struggled against giant and tyrant Austria will more undauntable fighting have been heard of than the indomitable resistance that the galiant Malagasy are Erepared to mak: against the might of France crushing out their national life.” Sir Charles Dilxe, whose knowledge of international law is profound, says that France has no lawful claim in Madagascar, yet it is evident that France proposes to go straight ahead and to acquire absolute centrol of the little nation which now turns toward the United States and prays for such assistance as may very properly be given. We are not asked to send ships to Madagascar, nor is the call for munitions of war; the cry is for justice. It insists that: “Surely the United States of America, with their gicrious struggles for freedom from European domination, will never con- cur in what is an attempt by Europe at the strangling of the life of an infant state,— the strangling of the life of a State that has shown itself to be inhabited by a com- mercial, progressive and civilized people; @ State whcse government has unmistaka- bly evidenced itself to be most. desirous of the extension of the already considerable American commerce with its realms, and } mest desirous of cultivating American en- terprise for the development of. the vast natural resources ex'stent throughout its length and breadth.” —___+ «+ _____ It is doubtless entirely safe to assume that in accordance with The Star’s sug- gestion of last week there will be co-opera- tion between the various organizations which are interested in testing in Washing- ton the Detroit plan of charitable relief. The Associated Charities have indorsed the plan and appointed a committee to co- operate. The Board of Trade has approved it, made an appropriation for it, and its charities committee is actively at work upon it. The Civic Center favors it. The Commissioners and the Central Relief Com- mittee are thought to desire that the plan bg locally tested. On Friday the Central Relief Committee will formally declare it- self. It is reasonable to expect that within a few days the rupresentatives of all these organizations will be engaged in an united effort to make the practical application of the Pingree plan as successful in Washing- ton as it was ir Detroit. —___++--+____- Corinto’s occupation has afforded some of the able London journals many op- portunities to say all manner of remark- able things about the United States. Up to this time the supremacy is with the Lon- don Globe, which says editorially: “The situation in Nicaragua is more suggestive of opera bouffe than the prosaic actualities of ordinary life. The Monroe doctrine is not an axiom of international law, nor, so far as we are aware, binding upon anybody save its inventor, President Monroe.” Nat- urally averse to the unpleasant duty of an- nouncing the death of a person of proml- nence, The Star nevertheless feels compelled to notify the Globe that President Monroe has not been with us in the flesh for some time past and that under those distressing circumstances the doctrine is not binding even upon him. Incidentally the Globe is informed that the Mexican war has at last come to an end and that buffalo hunting in the streets of Chicago has been pro- hibited by @ corporation ordinance. —____++--____ An Interview with Senator Morgan in today’s Star gives indication of interesting debate and, it may be, aggressive legisla- tion by the first session of the Fifty-fourth Congress. Senator Morgan is the acknowl- edged Congressional leader on all interna- tional matters and, as chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, he has on his patriotic course firmly estab- lished himself in a warm spot in the Amer- ican heart. That he should be strenuously opposed to the British occupation of Corinto is not at all surprising, nor is it remarkable that he, a democrat, should find himself at variance with this particu- lar democratic administration. Senator ‘Morgan's utterances at this time are espe- cially well worthy consideration, —__++-___. The Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir- ginia declines to allow Belva Lockwood to practice before it.

This is it.” Not Through. “You don’t seem to have many great writers of fiction over here,” said the man who was getting impressions of America. “That shows how superficial the judgment of a foreigner is likely to be.
