6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, Mav 21, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY... seeeeees May 21, 1895. crosny S. NOYES THE ENIN STAR has a regular and permanent cireulntion much more than the combined circulation ot the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Editor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be nddressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, nccording to tenor or purpose. The employing bread-bakers of Washing- ton having recognized the principle that when flour is cheap the bread-buying pub- lic shail share the benefits, it is now the turn of the bread-buying public to recog- nize the fact that a sliding scale works up as well as down. Last fail, when flour be- came phenomenally cheap, The Star sisted that the bakers should divide their multiplied profit” with those who by their patronage made profit a possibility. To this the bakers for a time demurred but the demurrer was unavailing, for the public could sce for Itself the injustice of an at- tempt to establish a standard price for bread while flour is subject to all sorts of fluctuations. Then the price of bread was reduced one cent a loaf. The consumers of bekers’ bread have enjoyed that redue- tion for several months and now the em- ploying bakers announce their Intention of going back to the old rate. As excuse for such action there is alleged steady eleva- tion in the price of flour, and the demands of Journeymen bakers, who insist that their Wages should be raised from $13 to $15 per week while their hours of iabor shall at the same time be reduced. It 1s understood that the employers will grant the requests of the wage-earners. bad not gone up The Star strenuously against any change in the rate even if by so doing it might seem to an- tegonize the efforts of the journeymen to secure better wages, but desiring only to be fair to all the interests concerned it ap- rs to The Star as though a slight in- crease in price is not unreasonable. Of course the rise in flour does not demand so much of an increase as is expressed in the advance of one cent a loaf, for with one pound loaves retailing at four cents each the bakers could make and have made satisfactory profits with flour at 36.50 or $7 a barrel, whereas it now costs only about $4.59 a barrel. Having no smaller coin in circulation than the copper cent, a closer subdivision of the profits may not be made with the retail purchaser. For this condition the remedy is to be found in such increases or decreases of the loaf-weight as would be declared just and proper by the duly constituted authorities. Flour would have to be much higher than it has been at any time since the war of the rebel- lion before the loaf would weigh less than sixteen ounces. At this time, when the bakers can hardly get first-class flour for less than $4.50 a barrel, the loaf might weigh twenty ounces. There would be no diiticulty whatever in arranging and oper- ating an equitable scale. This proposition is worthy of careful consideration, for it affects the interests of very many people. Eight months ago there was no local pre- cedent even for proper interference, in the public interest, with the profits of the em- plcying bakers. There ts now a solidiy- founded precedent that may be called into service whenever it is needed. -—— + 0 Even the most jealous bellever in the in- ividual freedom of nations and their right to govern themselves in accordance with their own ideas must hesitate before deny- ing the propriety of an interference by the civilized powers to put a stop to and pre- vent the recurrence of the awful atrocities in Armenia. For fiendish crueity the Tur- Kish soldiers have surpassed the barbarians } of every age, and beside the story of the tortures they inflicted upon their helpies victims the bloodiest page of the Inquisi- tion loses much of its horrifying color. There should no longer be any reluctance on the part of Europe about taking vigorous action in behalf of Armenia, and in bring- ing the Sultan to a modern conception of huis proper duties. In the Armenian case sho less regard for the techni- calities of international law and usage and sorous application of the statutes and mercy. — The saying used to be that it was a wise child that knew its own father, but in these days of fads end foibles and silly affectation it is a wise child that knows its own name. Orthographic lunacy is get- ting to be epidemic as to proper names, and eapert juggling yith personal nomen- clature has progressed (o such an extent that the finality of its evolution is a mat- ter for serious consideration. The intro- duction of the hyphen was not so bad un- til it began to be used to link together the two and sometimes three very ordinary names of those who were often very or- dinary people, but the new style of spelling is something that should be frowned upon. It is not at all unusual, for instance, to come across a sentence in a society col- umn now-a-days announcing that Miss Bessye This is visiting Miss Edythe That. Could any form of affectation be more senseless would protest — + -___ Recent events in the neighboring state of Maryland point to the fact that the com- ing fight over the Democratic gubernatorial nomination will be conducted on the same old lines—Gorman and antl-Gorman. There is apparently no other fssue before the party which now controls the state govern- ment. The policy to be pursued regarding an early reassessment of real estate; the question of renting the oyster beds and a dozen other interesting and important questions are entirely lost sight of, and the Democratic voters think of nothing save the issue of Gorman. Are there not any state issues which might be injected with wholesome eifect into a state campaign? ———~+ e+ __ For thé Supreme Court to announce Jus- tice Jackson as final arbiter of the fate of the Income tax, and then, when he had made up his mind, to depose him as arbiter and turn him down among the dissenting minority, was a jeering, judicial joke on Justice Jackson. see Gen. Campos’ idea is to shoot the news- Paper reporters who do not confine them- selves to his kind of news. This is a sug- gestion which appears to have escaped the attention of Secretary Gresham, Emperor William and the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia. ee. — A three-year-old girl was killed in Balti- more last week by the wheels of a trolley car. She really ought not to have been killed, because the car which ran over her was equipped with a fender and wh guard. Had those necessary devices— presumably for the protection of huinan Ufe and limb—been effective, the Injuries of the little one would hardly have been more than a few bruises, possibly one or two broken bones; but both the fende! wheel-guard were defective, mainly believed, because of their adjustme were too far above the track to accomplish | what their inventor had intenced them to do, This condition exists in Washington just as it does in Baltimore. Here we have fewer fender-equipped cars than are to be found in the big Maryland city, but in the Course of time all the cars in the District have some sort of fenders on them, and {f the equipments are arranged like those now in operation we may reasonably If the price of flour b. time. expect just such horrifying occurrences as the one to which reference has been made. The fenders on the Fourteenth street cars are set much too high; 8o high that they would probably override any person, juven- ile or adult, who might be unfortunate enough to He prostrate upon the tracks. In Baltimore the ordinarily rough streets provide some sort of an excuse for un- safely-elevated fenders. In this city—unless the railroad companies themselves place obstructions between the rails—there is no sound argument in favor of more than two or three inches of clearance between the fender and the rail. There has been sincerely forceful agitation in this city in favor of the equipment of all mechanically- moved cars with fenders that shall be more than fenders in name only; the time to make those devices fenders in fact is now; to wait until their inefficiency to save the prostrate person has been murderously demonstrated would be little less than criminal. ——____ ee In spit2 of opposition that was as force- ful as it was inexcusable, Pennsylvania row has a compulsory education law. For reasons not easily to be understood, some of the newspapers of the Keystone state have fought what is popularly known throughout the commonwealth as the Farr bill; a measure which has for its obji the diminution of vice and ignorance, the instrument being the public schools of the state. The bill, nevertheless, received large majorities in the legislature, and by the signature of Governor Hastings has be- come a statute. The necessity for such a law should be evident in every city, but it is especially conspicuous in those por- tions of Pennsylvania where the inhabli- tants are largely uneducated foreigners. ‘There is nothing unreasonable in the law. Children between the ages of 8 and Will be expected to attend schdol during sixteen school weeks; that is the law maximum requiremeft. Parents who ne- glect to send their children to be instructed are to be fined from $2 to $ for each of- fense. Provision is made for the appoint- ‘ment of truant officers and for an annual census of children of school age. Educa- tional conditions in Washington are con- siderably in advance of and above the status in most other American cities, but the ideal is still far away. We have a compulsory education law in the District, but there is no penalty consequent upon violation of its provisions, so it is practi- cally inoperative. When the board of school trustees organizes its campaign upon the next Congress, it should make special effort to have the weak places in the compuisory education law strengthen- ed, and then insist upon the appointment of as many truant officers as may be need- ed to give the law a fair trial. The per- centage of local illiteracy is not great, but it is much greater than it ought to be and much greater than it will be if Congress will only do its duty by the public school system of the national capital. —— oe ‘The Musical Courier gives its readers some good advice in a recent issue with relation to the evils of encoring amateur singers, and makes it pointed for this sea- son of the year, when schools and con- seryatories are about to give their annual exercises and concerts. The Courier sa; “The persistence of encore among ama- teurs has assumed the proportions of a vice. For every number on the program a } pupil is not only permitted but encouraged to carry encores which sometimes run into the twos or threes. These are bestowed | upon the audience at the faintest induce- ment, prolonging entertainments beyond the endurance of the most indulgent.” Nor is this true alone of amateur concerts, though the evil there is the more pro- nounced. Applause is intended to denote the approval of the audience for that which is good and well rendered. It has its own distinctive function, just as the continued patronage of the reading public indicates approval of the qualities of a book or a newspaper. It is proper at rare times for auditors to express a desire to hear again something that has been very admirably rendered, but much of the injudicious encore-eliciting applause at commencements and amateur performances comes from overzealous parents and friends of the in- dividual performers, whose personal inter- ests carry them away from their judgment. Such applause often gives rise to unpleasant feelings, jealousies and bitter comparisons, and has a bad effect in that wise. Too much stress, however, can not be laid on the danger of over-straining young voices at these affairs, subject as they are to in- discriminate use, and over-demands by in- cautious friends. The Musical Courier has sounded a note of warning which should be heard and heeded by the principal and musical director of every school and con- servatory in the land. eee Now that Admiral Meade and the Presl- dent have told the world what they think of each other, the matter may as well drop. ———_—__+ e+ It was an act of humanity on the part of the Supreme Court to put the painfully wounded income tax out of its misery. —___+e+____ There is one thing to be said for the Ken- tucky tragedy.
