6 : THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY May 22, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. .+.-Edlter. THE 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. In order to avoid dein: c= 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 Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. All Washingtonians who are interested in military matters and a good many Washingtonians who are as a rule entirely careless as to such things are proud of the showing made by the two local compa- nies that participated in the interstate prize-drills at Memrhis. To one of those companies—the Morton Cadets—extraordi- mary honors have come in response to ex- traordinary exertions by the officers and members of that command. Participating in three competitions, the Morton Cadets, led by Capt. Edgar A. Shilling, captured three prizes; one of them a first prize and the two others second prizes, one of the latter being tn the championship competi- tion. In view of the youthfulness and com- parative inexperience of the company, the results cannot be regarded as other than surprising, but when the fidelity of the members of the company and the patient, highly intelligent, and persistent energy of the captain are taken into consideration, then it becomes evident that the triple vic- tery was thoroughly earned. A not-to-be- forgotten something in connection with the Morton Cadets is the fact that they are High School boys. Some of them are grad- uates, but a large proportion of the mem- btrship is on the school rolls today; from captain down to the youngest recruit the drill team is the logical outcome of that excellent organization, the High School Ca- dets. The other company—Capt. C. 8S. Domer’s National Fencibles—seems to have been unfortunate. When it left this city it appeared to be in better condition than it did at other times of departure which were followed by Its return laden with the glories of unquestioned championship. With the disappointed ones Washington sympa- thizes, but there is no necessity for any- thing more than temporary depression. Competitive drills are not the sum total of military existence—in some respects they are a detriment to soldierly efficiency of the practical, up-to-date sort—and in the near future victories and defeats will alike be forgotten by national guardsmen who are intent upon doing their whole duty as the reserve force upon which the state and the nation must lean most heavily when the public peace is seriously threatened. The disappointment of the National Fen- cibles may, profitably to the community and to themselves, result in more of work- a-day military enthusiasm and less of at- tention to a specialty that in the eyes of the professional soldier has little value. ‘Tomorrow night the two companjes will return home. Victors and vanquished alike will be welcomed by a thousand comrades and by the cheering multitude which al- ways turns out to enliven such an occasion. —__ + + + —___. Prof. George W. Cook, of Howard Uni- versity—whose organization of a law and order league amorg youthful negroes has been noted in The Star—deserves the sup- port of all reputable citizens in his very practical endeavor to bulid up character in boys who have hitherto been almost en- tirely neglected by those whose desire it is to hasten the coming of millennial times. Washington has in its populative make-up a rowdy element that is much stronger than it really ought to be; an element recruited steadily from among the young negroes who lack useful occupation and who therefore delight in unlawful as- sembly, to the disturbance of peaceable neighbors and to the lasting injury of themselves. Prof. Cook says of his effort— in which he is being heartily seconded Ly several rational philanthropists, and which has already had practical results—that it will, he is convinced, make many of the boys in the northern portion of the city better and more useful members of society. Prof. Cook reasonably expects that his league will result in a marked decrease cf the number of arrests of boys. If he «an convince the young fellows that their best interests will be served by abstention from crap-shooting and razor-carrying and the use of intoxicants he will doubtless save many of them, and will place the com- munity under great obligations to him. ——___~+< Berry-buyers will deal honestly with themselves if they decline to purchase strawberries and raspberries and black- berries and similar edibles when they are offered to them in what are technically known as the “short quart” baskets or boxes. The “short quart” basket holds but three-quarters of the quantity which the purchaser supposes he is getting when he buys. Responsible dealers have associated themselves for the purpose of putjing a stop to this fraud upon the public, and, tn- asmueh as their action {fs all in behalf of honesty, the public should do its utmost to aid in putting the reform into practical operation. Irresponsible dealers whose de- sire it is to deceive will doubtless endeavor to supply customers with short quarts and they will catch a great many of the unwary because they can afford to sell “short quarts” for a smaller sum than that for which the full quarts can profitably be dis- posed of. Would-be purchasers are recom- mended to ask rot for so many boxes or baskets of berries, but so many quarts, so that should ‘they, after putting their re- quest in that form, receive less than the quantity ordered, there will be no difficulty in prosecuting the unprincipled dealer for delivering less than the quantity ordered and paid for. —_ + 0+ __ One hundred and fifteen men employed upon the city post-oflice building today have been doing their utmost to make good the promise that the structure will be com- pleted in 1897. —_+ e+ _- It is suggested that Allen Thurman Is de- veloping an ambition to do as much talk- ing in Ohio politics as Senator Brice's money does. —_—-—_+ «= —____ Philadelphia has revolted against the ex- istence in {ts vicinity of immoral conditions like unto those that may easily be found at Jackson City and Rosslyn, Driven out of Gloucester by forces that had long bee! defied, the race-track gambler down on this rej ered that the District of Columb’ for place into them.

The ficid was limited, how- ever—a part of it had been occupied for a long time prior to the -oming of the winter-racing mob of wholly cee uE oul exiles from New Jersey—so efforts w made to secure a foothold in the large cities, and in view of tion, the Quaker City was deci place where an assault upon likely to succeed. But the poli tles would not concur, go the sie blers were forced into the si they established themselves at was no | and were as much of a nuisance and a menace as Alexander Island and Rosslyn |_ are to the District of Columbia. Now, Essington is to be broken up, for the Penn- Sylvania legislature—prompted by the po- lice authorities of Philadelphia—has enacted a new and stringent statute which will speedily remove all the undesirable feat- ures which for some time have flourished at Essington. This bill will drive the gam- bling horde to the only locality in this portion of the United States*-Alexandria county, Virginia—where any sort of a welcome can be had. Every eastern state has protected itself against the vicious immigration which seems to be desired by a@ county of Virginia. In that subdivision of the oldest and proudest of our com- ™monwealths many even of the reputable inhabitants have Hitle or nothing to say in condemnation of what all right-thinking peopie know to be an unmitigated evil; as a rule they are silent and apathetic ex- cept when the good people of Washington insist that steps should,be taken to abate a criminal nuisance and a direct injury to the capital, and then they protest against “impertinent interference.” ————+++____. While the action of law is as a rule much More speedy in Great Britain than it is in the United States, there are exceptional in- stances where deliberation is so excessive as to be a reasonable cause of coniment. Early in the morning of January 30 the steamer Elbe was sunk by collision with the steamer Crathie. Last Monday the British board of trade commenced ofiicially to make inquiry into the circumstances surrounding that awful calamity. There may ke advantages in so delaying these proceedings as to eliminate as much as Possible that warm sympathy or fierce an- tagonism which is to be looked for in the testimony, but the possibilities of losing es- sential witn2sses through the lapse of time would seem to outweigh all other consider- ations. The British bcard of trade prob- ably knows how to conduct its own busi- ness, but the British board of trade is nevertheless a rather slow institution. —+e+-—____. “City and State” is one of the most re- cent additions to Philadelphia journalistic roster. “Commonwealth above Party” is its motto and the contents of the two num- bers that have appeared are decidedly in line with the publication's battle cry. The rogues who propose to deal dishonestly by the taxpayers of Pennsylvania can hardly be otherwise than displeased at the appear- ance of such an honestly outspoken critic as “City and State” unquestionably is. With Herbert Welsh as managing editor and Wil- liam J. Skillman as his associate all the Probabilities favor a vigorous campaign against political immorality, especially the varieties of municipal wrong-doing heretofore common in the Quaker City. —-++>____ The suggestion as to guide-boards on sub- urban roads and paths in the District of Columbia, made in a commvnication in The Star, is worthy the consideration of the District Commissioners. Washington's sub- urbs are rich in beautiful walks and drives, but only a few of those who find enjoyment in their use know whither they lead or how far they are away from one of the central points of the city. The remedy may be cheaply applied and will surely be appre- ciated by a great many people who, like the complaining correspondent, have wan- dered around aimlessly while doing their utmost to extricate themselves from the maze. —\—++-+____ When what the Marquis of Queensberry considered a joke leads to a street fight between father and son this country may be pardoned for not modifying its previous opinion concerning British humor, ————— e+ _____ Washington Is sure to get a share when military honors are being distributed.
