THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. HE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY..............May 15, 1805. CROSBY S. NOYES. «eee. Editor. HE 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. OIm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the gilice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- menta, Soote te tenor or ptfrpose. Quite remarkable is the conclusion that seems to have been reached in the North- east Washington Citizens’ Association with reference to the methods to be used in dealing with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company. Agreeing with the District Commisstoners—or a majority of them—the association, speaking through its pres- ident, is apparently cn record as de- clining to accept safeguards, for which it has petitioned, simply because they are voluntarily proffered by the company in- stead of being compelled into existence by the force of law. No person in the District of Columbia regrets more deeply than does The Star the shortcomings that so fre- quently become evident in cur local laws, and no person or combination of persons has ever worked more assiduously to bring about what is conceded to be necessary amendment than has The Star. Persist- ently taking advantage of every opportuh- ity The Star has argued in behalf of every reform in the railroad situation demanded by the association in question, and it warmly advocated the viaduct plan of relicf of the grade-crossings evil even before tris energetic and useful association was formed. Whatever may have been the wisest course when the Commissioners believed that they had full powef under the law to compel the railroad to erect safety gates, now that this power has been ju- dicially denied The Star cannot understand why there should be any hesitation on the Part of the Commissioners to accept the company’s fence-building and gate-operat- ing proposition, if the offer is still open for acceptance, and it cannot understand why the Northeast Washington Citizens Associ- ation—whose members are immediately the sufferers because there is lack of fencing and safety-gates—should seprifice valuable interests for the sake of a sentiment that has not behind {t or beneath it the support of even a semblance of a principle. It may be that in the near future Congress will give us legislation in which the interests of the people of Washington and not those of the railroad shall be the prevailing con- sideration. Would that legislation in any degree be delayed by acceptance of the company’s offer to provide voluntarily certain’ safeguards which according the courts the present law cannot compel it to provide? In to substance the railroad has indicated an ap- parent willingness to put in fences and safe- ty gat arbit es wherever Commissioner Ross as hail determine that they are neces- What compromise of principle ts in- volved in testing the sincerity of this gffer? How would the voluntary erection of safety gates tend more strongly to delay viaduct legislation than their compulsory erection, for whieh the association pleaded and which the Commissioners ordered? If any lives are lost through the absence of safety-gates before Congress can act will not the railroad be able to shift a part of the responsibility for the bloodshed upon the Commissioners and the association? ——-_ eo There is doubtless much of ciscourage- ment for the lawless in the steadi! proving organization of that body now in session in this city—the Police Chiefs’ Union. Up to within two or three years ago the opportunities of criminals de: of evading arrest were much more plextiful than they now are; a condition which was due to the fact that jealousy was often a conspicuous feature in police existeuce. It was quite frequently the case that the chief of police of one city found enjoyment in the discomfiture of officers who had come from some other city for the putpose of capturing an offender who had ta refuge within a jurisd! not have been, but nevertheless was, a good deal of a sanctuary. Then there were troubles about rewarts and petty differ- ences of opinion as to methods of procedure and a generally led up state of affairs that disyusted everybody but the criminals. Now the situation has be21 completely changed, and instead of the puliing and hauling in opposite directions, which were so common even receatly, there is subordi- nation of everything to the one desire to make things as uncomfortable as possible for the evil-doer. That the tors will have a pleasant time wt the national capl- tal is certain; that is the fate of ail organi- zations which hold their sessions here. That they may add to ¢ effectiveness Is the heartf. good citizen. —__- ++ —__ It,may not be wise for those in power to go too fast nor too far in punishing Admiral Meade for the breach of official etiquette involved in publicly declaring that he is an American and a Union man, and not in sympathy with some of the policies of the present administration. There are a good many people who are holding the same views just now, and to sharply discipline a gallant sailor for that sort of thing might tend to call public attention to him in a way that would make the disciplinarians regret their action if their desire is to de- grade and not to honor him. The country has never yet had a jack tar for a presi- dential candidate, and one who has fought for the American flag, and carried it with | honor across the seas of the world, might, with the impetus afforded by the outcome and reaction of the suggested partisan court-martial, develop into a dangerous presidential possibility. —_+++____ If the gamblers who are permitted to enjoy uninterrupted gamoling facilities in Alexandria county, Virginia, ever had rea- son to question the sinverity of the anti- gambling sentiment of this comimunity, that reason has completely vanished. If the responsible officials of Alexandria county, Virginia, by whose connivacce vice has been encouraged to abound, imagined they were looked upon with any degree of kindliness by the decent people of Wash- ington, they surely cannot think so now. If Governor O’Ferrall of Virginia ever mis- led himself into believing that the out- raged reepectabliity of the District of Co- lumbia would satisfy its conscience by in- formal protest, he now knows that his be- lief was based entirely upon error. Last night there met in this city a large num- ber of the solid men of Washington; not merely those whose lives are devoted to the creation and dissemination of moral influences, but men who, being éeeply con- cerned in the material welfare of the Dis- trict of Columbia and its environs, realize that betterment {!s prohibited by such ob- structions as those which Virginia's defec- tive laws and spineless oificials permit to exist at two of the gateways of the na- tional capital. It was not expected that the mass-meeting—which was held under the auspices of the Board of Trade—would develop facts that could be characterized as startling, for the reading people of the District of Columbia have been kept fully informed by The Star as to the evils against which there {s now so much of eminently proper complaint; but it was ex- pected that voice would be given to the growing discontent felt really und deeply by thousands of those people who r.ay truly be ciassed as of the bess residents cf the city of Washington, ard that ex- Pectation was completely realized. Yet there was nothing exireme in the intérest- ing speeches made, ao language wasted in useless abuse, no ora‘orical fireworks. The entire tendency was serious and practical, and the situation in Alexandria county Must be much worse than it even now appears to be if the evil conditions there cannot be swept out of existence by the wave of public condemnation that com- menced to be conspicuously apparent yes- terday evening. But a little while ago Guttenburg, Gloucester and Monmouth Park were as offensively active as Alexan- der Island and St. Asaph’s now are; their respective managements defied the law, bribed its officers, ruined countless men and women, who, but for the temptations held out to them, might today be reputable people, and finally dared the handful of opposing moralists to combat in councils and legislatures. The zesult was over- whelming defeat for the raseals who had prided themselves upon being beyond the reach of justice, and who up to that time, had no respect whatever for any sort of statute. It may be argued that forcible as moral suasion sometimes is, it moves but slowly when there is opposed to it such a gigantic aggregation of profitable wickedness as is now presented ty those whose financial interests are served by the operation of the race tracks, gambling dens and kindred resorts in Alexandria county; that the work of reform should be of a more practical sort. Those who are disposed to be practical may do good by applying themselves to an endeavor to defeat the re-election of those Alexandria county officials whg have encouraged vice and who, should they be re-elected, would doubtless continue to covertly assist the other lawbreakers who are at least cour- ageous enough to do the!r evil deeds open- ly. But whether the result is actained through the veters of Alexandria county or the courts supervising the county officials, or the governor or legislature of Virginia, it can be stated as a certainty that the people of the District of Columbia will continue to agitate until the people cf Virginia have their eyes opened to the folly of permitting the vicious to enjoy such privileges as are accorded them in Alexandria county, and, redeeming the honor of the state, expel from its borders the whole meselone a crowd. oe It would, indeed, be strange if a man so versed in American statemanship as Sere- tary Carlisle could not do the explaining that his record on the financial question de- mands. The stump-speech explanation is the five-finger exercise of politics. > In directing an appeal to the women of Germany to prevent their husbands from becoming socialists, Bismarck demonstrates that he combines with the learning of the statesman a keen perception into human nature. ——__-- + e+ —__ With the clergy and the police of the country both representel among Washing- ton’s visitors, it looks as if something should be done tor Jackson City now, if at all. ‘ + oe Admiral Meade cannot be accused of not having thought before he spoke. The case appears to be one where a man did so much thinking that it got the better of him. ee Mr. Cleveland Js broad-minded enough to invite the Indians to become American citi- zens without inquiring whether they will vote the demoeratic ticket or not. ————_—s— One hundred and twelve men were em- ployed upon the city post-office building today.

The two deat and dumb friends stopped for a few minutes’ conversation. “What did your wife say about your being out so late last night?” asked one of them. “Nothing.” “That's strange. What's the reason?” “She's got a sore finger.” Patience. ‘No, sir, the cable is not broke; It was the sripman, sad, who spoke; “I'm waiting, as the hours roll by, While those two women say ‘good-bye.

I was especially careful to avoid that.” “Here's Cholly Anglomana. He was watch- ing the game. We'll let him decide.” “All right. What's your opinion, Cholly?
