THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, TUESDAY............-.-..Sume 18, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES..........++-..-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent cirenlation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. C7 In 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 Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The wast death in this city ae of two workingmen as the result of a poorly constructed scaffolding brings to mind again the need of more stringency in the inspection of buildings that are in course of erection, and of more scope in the local bureau so that it may examine all new structures, not alone as to their walls and other details of construction, but as to the appliances that are used by the artisans engaged upon them. There ave been several of these sad accidents in Washington of late that have taken the lives of men valuable’ to the community. In every case there seems to have been a flaw in the construction of a scaffold, some- times due to the carelessness of the men themselves, sometimes to the parsimony of the contractor, who may thus seek to economize on the job while imperiling the lives of those in his employ. There should be, of coursé, more of a force in the office of the inspector of buildings to watch these matters, but it surely seems that there is not so great a number of buildings under course of construction at any one time as to make a careful inspection of every appliance upon which human life may depend impossible. The defects in a scaf- fold cannot well be hidden as can the defects in a wall, and an intelligent in- spector could soon see the danger and cause it to be remedied, for which there cught to be ample authority granted by the law. An ounce of prevention in such @ case is worth many pounds of cure, and a few rebuilt scaffolds would be followed, by a decrease in the number of The action taken by the corporation of the Columbian University yesterday was in Ine with the general movement that is now well marked toward making Washington a great educational center. Columbian is an old and well-established institution. It has a wide reputation, and unexcelled advan- tages, being located in the midst of all the opportunities* for a broad education pro- vided by the nation at the seat of goyern- ment. Any step that will widen its scope and increase its facilities and its capacity for thorough work will but hasten the day when it will be one of the great educational Institutions of the country, advancing with each year that Washington becomes more and more the headquarters of Itberal learn- ing. The Catholic Untversity, the American Untversity of the Methodists, and the Epis- copalian Cathedral foundation all are evi- dences of the new tendency, which is na- tlonal rather than local in its full signifi- cance. Columblan, like these others, has a denominational foundation, but It is far away from sectarianism in its educational work and is open to the world. The reor- ganization of the University, the enlarge- ment of the collegiate fund, the widening of the scope of the Preparatory School and Academie Department, and the enthusiastic interest in the welfare of the University substantially shown by overseers, trustees and alumni, all fitly mark the beginning of @ new administration under a new head, chosen with great care and after long con- sideration, Dr. Whitman will enter upon a promising field, and, endowed as he is sald to be with the attributes that go to make the great educator, he should have a suc- cess here second to none in the history of universities in America. ——_~+ ++ ___ Illustrations of the great danger of over- head wires of all sorts multiply as the days pass, yet the electric light, telegraph, tele- phone and trolley companies fail to learn the lesson of experience and persist in keep- ing exposed these menacing agents of de- struction. The these antiquated methods of electrical com- munication and illumination comes from Cleveland, where a woman has just been terribly burned, probably with fatal ef- fects, by falling from a roof into a tangle of telegraph and electric light wires, where she was slowly roasted. One of her rescuers was badly burne but is likely to reccver. This terrible spectacle may impress the people of Cleveland suf- ficiently to arouse public sentiment in that city to the protesting point, but it is un- fortunate that such disasters must be ex- Perienced in order to convince citizens that their lives are tn danger. The case is old enough now to make illustrations of the need of reform in this direction wholly superfluous, ———____+ «+ There is no doubt that the appointment system that is about to be inaugurated by the District Commissioners as the prelim- inary and temporary substitutes of the Civil Service Commission will prove a ben- efit to the service. Any step toward the establishment of a merit system in any branch of government is a step in the right direction, and this new order of things, coupled with the plan of requiring ali ap- pointees to serve a probationary term of six months before they can be entered on the permanent roll should, with the right kind of administrative execution of the new orders, place the District offices on an excellent basis. soe Between the conventions and the com- mencements it looks as though the desti- nies of this country ought to be settled somehow ore long. SS Statistics of the great commerclal depres- sion of 1893-4 continue to come in, all show- tag in a postscript sort of fashion how wide- spread wae the money stringency of that period. The latest addition to this liter- ature is the seventh annual statistical re- port of the interstate commerce commis- sion for the year ending June 20, 1594, which shows that the railroads of the coun- try suffered severely from the genera! fall- ing off in trade which followed almost immediately the Chicago exposition. There 13 a decrease to be noted in nearly every branch of the railrozd business, Indi- cating that it was, during the twelve months that ended a year ago, practically at the lowest stage it has been for spme years, and presumably lower than It will be again during the present century. One of the most significant items of decrease was in the number of employes, which was £3,204, or 10.76 per cent lower June 30, 1894, than the year previous. This was un- questionably one of the most serious fac- tors In the great distress among the people that was so marked a feature of the com- mercial depression that has just passed, for tha throwing of nearly one hundred thou- Band men out of employment represented a tremendous amount of loss in wage earn- ing, and a corresponding amount of per- sonal suffering in families. There was an increass in the total number of passengers éarricd, amounting to over twenty-six mil- }ions, which wag undoubtedly caused by the great traffic during the World’s Fair period, which was mostly covered by this report. fhe latter part of the period of the repo-t wkowed a decrease in travel from ordinary latest argument against | THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. occasions, and indicated that it was this un- usual traffic alone that saved the year from being even more disastrous to the roads. That this increase of travel did not compensate for the loss in other di- rections, however, is shown by the fact that there was a decrease in both the gross and net earnings of the roads, the former having fallen off $147,390,077 and the latter $50,883,100, as compared with the Previous year. Notwithstanding the in- crease in passenger traffic, the passenger revenue decreased over sixteen million dol- lars, showing that the World’s Fair traffic, while great in volume, was productive of ‘ttle revenue in comparison with the ordi- nary travel, owing to the very cheap rates that were given to tourists to and from the Fair. At the same time the roads paid div- idends aggregating $95,575,976, a decrease of $5,353,909 from the amount paid the pre- vious year. To accomplish this the roads must have curtailed many other operating expenses, and this may have had a bearing upon the great decreas? in the number of employes. It may be true that much of the loss of passenger traffic after the Fair was due to the fact that many people who took the unusual trip to and irom Chicago did no more railroad traveling that year as a measure of economy in the midst of the stringent times that were upon them eve before the Fair closed. The statistics for the current year are not at hand, but when they are compiled they will probably show a general and wholesome reaction from the great depression of 1893-4. There Js no one industry in the country that more truly re- flects the prosperity or depression of the country than the railroads, which meas- ure the individual as well as the com- mercial state of finances. In the midst of the depression it is gratifying to note that there was a general mainte- nance of the advance in railroad building, although there were several instances of roads suspending and a number of places where weak roads were absorbed by larger ones. ——__ e+ -__ It is a curious contradiction that in the midst of the joyous celebration about to take place at Kiel over the completion of the Baltic Ship Canal, all pclitical Europe should be nervous lest this event should precipitate in some way the dreaded in- ternational struggle that has been impend- ing for several years. The celebration at Kiel is supposed to have the significance of a great jubilee of the family of Eu- ropean nations over a purely commercial event, but dispatches from across the water assert that the powers have planned to utilize the demonstration to further their own private political ends by some spectacular displays, and already the line is drawn closely between the Germans on one side and the French and Russians on the otaer, and the foreign news is heavy with significance. The statement is made by one of the best informed European cor- respondents that every minister in Europe is nervous and would be glad to be eight days oider, thus emphasizing the possibility that at Kiel may develop some new phase of the complication that has been slowly gathering in Europe since the Franco-Prus- sian war. Of course in all of this the United States is but an onlooker and is probably the only participant in the cele- bration from a purely sentimental or con- gratulatory motive. The United States will hold a unique and notable place among nations as one which while respecting its own rights and defending them to the last will not interfere in the quarrels of the cther powers of the earth. ——+ ++____ Fifty-three men were engaged on the pest office today, an increase of two over yesterday. It might as well have been a decrease as far as any surface indications were visible from the outside. This is ideal building weather, but !t does not seem to be improved to the best advantage. It is the same old story of one contractor being handicapped by another. Still the proph- ecy of the completion of the building by 1897 stands out on the wall, in contradic- tion of the pace at which the work is pro- greszing. ——_+++___.

The price of a@ shave bein’ ten cents, and the price of a drink bein’ ten cents, the two phrases are practically synonymous, and I merely took the liberty of substituting one for the other for the sake of euphony.
