4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1895—TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY....... sisseeee Sune 8, 1895. CROSBY S.J NOYES seseeeess Editor, 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. t7In 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 Editorial or Dusiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. A movement ilkely to do a great deal of geod to all the parties concerned {s that which would bring about the early closing of all those places of business that may be closed during the later hours of summer daylight without inconyenience to the pub- lic. The Washington plan calls for the shutting of stores at 5 o'clock every week- day afternoon, except Saturdays, Saturday the shut-down Is due at 1 o’clock. Years of experience have taught English merchants the advantages that are to be derived from practical application of the proposition which is meeting with a great deal of favor in this city at this time. Within the past twenty-five years the practice of early clos- ing has steadily grown in popular esteem, and the most remarkable fact in connection with that growth is that the employers themselves are quite as enthusiastic over the benefits received as are the employes. And the advantages are not imaginary. It stands to reason that employes who are steadily engaged from 8 o'clock in the morning until 7 or 8 o'clock five nights a week, and until from 10 o'clock to mid- might Saturdays, cannot possibly render service as vigorous or as faithful,as can be given by men and women who céase to la- bor at the hours which the friends of early- clesing believe to be reasonable. In this latitude, during the summer months at least, it pays to condense toil as much as Possible, and while to the thoughtless or short-sighted employer it may appear ex- travagant to shorten the working days, it is, nevertheless, certain that such action will result profitably to those who pay sal- aries as well as to those who receive them. There is too much of haste to be wealthy, and in such a matter as that now under discussion the more there Is of haste the greater is the diminution in speed. If the thousands of men and women who dally suffer immurement in ill-ventilated stores and offices can only be encouraged to get out doors and breathe fresh air and asso- ciate with the natural beauties of the parks and the suburbs, they will be much more valuable’ as wagé-earners than they can possibly be under the conditions which this early-closing movement promises to over- throw. 2 0 Soulless corporations are generally also deficient in the matter of memory. When New York troops went-to Brooklyn for the purpose: of protecting the property of the trolley companies whose employes had rea- sonably decided that their labor was in- sufficiently remunerated the officers of the trolley companies were very enthusiastic in thely greeting of the civilian soldiers whose presence assured peace. No sooner had things quieted down and the national guardsmen returned to their ordinary avo- cations than the trolley companies com- menced to send in bills for the rent of power-houses and offices occupied by the troops on duty. The. assurance displayed in rendering those bills was one of the finest exhibitions of ingratitude ever wit- nessed_ in this country. Now another one has come to the front, an official of the Erie Ratlread having discharged one of the clerks in his office who is a national guardsman because the clerk attended the ordered rifle practice at Creedmoor one day last week. The clerk had no option. The laws of the state compelled him to go to Creedmoor, and there seems to be no reason for imagining that the Erie Rail- road could not get along without him for that one day, but he nevertheless was dis- charged. Not such a very long time sgo the Erle Railroad was-frantically calling upon the national guard of the state to come up to Buffalo and save its enor- mously-valuabie property from a mob that threatened to turn Buffalo inside out. That seems to have been forgotten by the ofti- cial who @éprived an’ employe of his job because he, in obedience to orders, went to Creedmoor for the purpose of adding to his efficienty''sd that’ when the Erte Railroad . again cries,aloud for military assistance he would be able to render more effective service than he possibly could if he ne- glected his military duties, ——_+ ++ ___ ~ Many thousands of Washingtonians will attend divine service at least once tomor- row. A large. percentage of those atten- dants will suffer from somnolency during the sermons or services. The responsibility for this fact will not always rest upon the shoulders of the preachers, for there will be tendencies to slumber even in congregations that are ministered unto by the most inter- esting of pulpit orators. The trouble will lie mainly with those who are responsible for the ventilation of the audience rooms. In some churches this important matter is controlled by a person who knows just what ought to be dore, and who either does It or sees that it is done, but in most of the edifices ventilation is regarded as a trivial matter that can be attended to without difficulty by a sexton whose ideas as to hygiene are about on a par with his views on esoteric Buddhism. There may be impropriety in basing a suggestion to’ the churches upon the worldly wisdom of the gin-mills, but The Star permits itself to re- mark that a considerable-percentage of the saloons’ in Washington would have to shut up during the summer season if their pro- prietors paid no more attention to the in- troduction of cool air than do those who are responsible for the ventilation of the city’s churches. —_—_+ e+____ If Theodore Roosevelt is to keep up his wanderings Incognito for the inspection of practical police methods, there will be noth- ing for the members of the force to do ex- cept to take memory lessons, so as to im- press his face indelibly on their recollec- tions, —__+ «2 ____ Spain seems to be much disturbed he- cause a considerable proportion of the peo- ple of the United States sympathize heartily with those Cubans who are once more struggling to secure that freedom and that form of government which they deem essential to the welfare of their most cherished interests. So great is Spanish discontent because of individual American expression that there comes intimation of @ probabality that Spain will in the near future call upon the United States to in- demnify her." The rumor seems to have serious foundation, for it comes by the way of a London newspaper not given to sensationalism. That such demands as were outlined in the original publication were not regarded as absurd in Europe was not surprising, for in that nervous geo- graphical subdivision very little in the nature of a disturbance is needed‘to warm things up to fever heat. On this side of the Atlantic, however, the mere suggestion that Spain will ask the United States to assist In defraying the expenses incurred by the land of Ferdinand and Isabella in subduing or-in attempting to subdue the Treasonably-rebellious Cubans will provoke laughter and jeers. So far as the news- papers of this country are concerned—and | they know about all that Is worth know- ing as to events along our coasts—there ras been no open co-operation with the Cuban forces by citizens of the United | States. Government officials have been watchful as to filibustering expeditions, and have undoubtedly discouraged many en- deavors to cause Spain additional grief, but they have not been, nor are they, nor will they ever be, able. to prevent Americans from doing what they please as individuals, so long as they do not violate the neutrality laws. The Spanish authorities are alleged to be indignant because leading American news- pepers have come out boldly as champions of the cause which Spanish troops are en- deavoring to crush. There is nothing un- natural in that indignation, but on the other hand there is nothing surprising in the stand taken by the newspapers com- plained of. Every intelligent man who knows anything as to the condition of af- fairs in Cuba knows that Spain has no more than a selfish financial interest in Cuba. Naturally the lovers of republican- ism are advocates of home rule for Cuba, and they will continue to applaud the Cubans who struggle for liberty, and the applause will not ke diminished by a rumor that Spain will some day turn in an un- collectable bill for dollars with which to soothe her wounded feelings. ———_+ ++ —____ Most inconsiderate people are those neigh- bors of ours whose residence is north of the international boundary line. For some time past garbage collectors in Detroit and its vicinity have been dumping surplus garbage matter into Canadian waters, al- though a Canadian statue insists that such behavior is offensive and punishable by heavy fines. The garbage contractors Krew quite well that their conduct was not in accord with the law which was sensibly made and provided, but they kept on dumpirg just the same. Thursday night a Canadian steamer proceeded, with marked success, to round up the De- troit people who have been fertiliz- ing Canadian waters. Locally there is a lesson to be learned. The garbage contrac- tors who take away from the residences in this city the animal and vegetabie waste get rid of it in the same fashion which was common in the vicinity of Amherst- burg until the law, with one of its powerful instruments, intervened. Some of these days the states of Virginia and Maryland will turn their respective oyster navies loose on some of our garbage scows. We want a reduction or incineration plant, and we want it at once. The money has been appropriated for such a plant, and is available on the first of July. —__~+ «+ —___ It is among the possibilities that the new Secretary of State will in his extremely re- sponsible position display conspicuously those qualities which gave him great repute as a steadfast supporter of strong govern- ment during the railroad disturbances last summer. That Mr. Olney is a man of firm character and great ability is a statement not likely to be questioned by those who have any personal acquaintance with him; therefore it may easily be that similar vigor to that which dealt so promptly and so sternly with the riotously inclined at a very critical period will make appearance whenever it shall be necessary for the United States to assert itself; to insist that it is a pation which cannot be treated as though it were some petty European prin- cipality. But briefly experienced in public affairs and never prominent as a politician, Mr, Olney has no grudges to pay nor has he any considerable number of friends of the political sort, whose friendship can only be maintained by assistance from the public treasury. It is probable that Mr. Olney will make an admirable Secretary of State. Every one will hope that he may be strong enough even to convince President Cleveland that the so-called foreign policy of the administration is sadly in need of overhauling and reconstruction. -———_—__+ + = ____ A young nfan was arrested yesterday for shooting a pistol into the royal atmosphere surrounding Balmoral, the sunimer tesi- dence of that estimable woman and lady, Victoria, Queen of England, etc., and this notwithstanding the fact that the Fourth of July is almost with us. That, however, doesn’t count 3,000 miles to the east of our Declaration of Independence, hence the ar- rest. But that arrest was only of second- ary importance. On the person of the young man—he was an Englishman—was found a letter to Mr. Vanderbilt of New York, ask- ing Pa Vanderbilt for his daughter in mar- riage, and the doctors were called in and adjudged the young man to be insane. Has there ever been known a more prepos- terous proposition than this—that an En- glishman who wanted to marry a rich American girl was insane? If it had been. the rich American girl who wanted to marry the foreigner who was judged in- sane, then there might have been a show of reason for the decision. But possibly the young man had nv ‘title. If that can be shown conclusively, then, indeed, he may have been crazy. Our rich girls want some- thing for treir money. Thirty men were doing what they could today toward making the post-office build- ing a finished structure. Until enough ma- terial arrives on the site to keep many more men busy, material increase in the working force is not to be looked for. The n is now long over-due, but when it will arrive is still only a matter of uncertain conjecture. With a continuance of the de- lays which have been experienced this week, the official prediction that the buiid- ing will be ready for occupancy in 1897 will certainly not be verified. —— ~ «+ —___ In deciding that New York city and Sara- toga are the only places in the state where @ man may have his hair cut or get shaved on Sunday, the New York legislature showed a disposition to accommodate all phases of sentiment.

The President appointed William H. Pugh of Ohio to be auditor of the treasury for the Navy Department, to succeed C. B. Mor- ten, who was removed, and Edward A. Bowers to be assistant controller of the treasury, to succeed the late Mr. Mansur. The convention of democrats at Springfield, Ill, indorsed free coinage of silyer at 16 to 1, and called for a national democratiz conference to act on the money question. The republican state convention of Ken- tucky nominated Col. W. O. Bradley for governor, and adopted a sound money, pro- tection platform. The dam above Curtis lake, Neb., broke, and the water, rushing in great volume down Medicine valley, did @ great deal of damage. Forest fires did great damage in Pennsylvania, a number of oil wells at Kane being destroyed. A cablegram from Rome was read in the St. Louis Cathedral announcing the deposition of Archbishop Kenrick, and the appoint- ment of Bishop Kain, archbishop of St. Louis. Provost C. C. Harrison established a chair at the University of Pennsylvania by a gift of $500,000. The committee ap- pointed by the New Jersey senate to in- vestigate the state house frauds presented its report, accusing officials of collusion With outsiders to loot the state treasury. The apology of the Spanish government for the Alllanca affair was received by the | State Department. Several important ar- rests were made in Chicago, and one of the Worst gangs of thieves in Chicago was broken up. The sessions of the general synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States began at Hagerstown. Foreign. The Spanish chamber of deputies adopt- ed a motion censuring the government. The ministers did not resign, but the re- publicans seem determined to overthrow the government. The government authori- ties at Havana claim to have information that an expedition is being fitted out in the bayous of the Mississippi river. The For- mosa republic has collapsed, the president of the republic having fled. The formal transfer of the Island of Formosa took place at Kee Lung on June 2. Great Bri- tain rejected the friendly offer of the pope locking to a settlement of the boundary dispute with Venezuela by arbitration. ‘The European powers are not satisfied with the reply of the Turkish government io their notes in regard to proposed reforms in Armenia, the sultan not agreeing to the principle of the control of the proposed re- forms by the pcwers. The captain general of Madrid was shot and dangerously wounded by an officer of the Spanish army, who had heen refused the hand of the captain general's daughter in marriage; the criminal was shot later. In the District. Representatives of the street railroads that have not complied with the regulation requiring cars to be equipped with fenders and whee:-guards appeared in the Police Court to answer warrants served upon them; a date was fixed for hearing the cases. A map showing the extension of the city streets over the section of the suburbs between North Capitol street and Eastern branch was approved by the District Commissioners. During the week the Washington Convocation of the Protestant Episcopal Church was in session, and also the Suuthern Tariff As- sociation of Fire Underwriters. In accord- ance with a request of the President, W. H, Manogue, collector of the port of George. town, handed in his resignation. A system of furnishing food to prisoners at the Police Court was inaugurated. One of the old citizens of the District, D. D. Carpenter, died. The Naval Lodge of Masons dedi: cated their new hall at the corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and 4th street southeast. Editor Chase of the Bee was released from Jail, where he had served a sentence im- pesed on him in the libel suit of Recorder Taylor, and was given a banquet in Alex- andria by the Northwestern Editorial As- sociation.
