THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. : WASHINGTON, (WEDNESDAY......,......Jume 19, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES....,..........-Editor. THE EVENING STAR h: permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailles. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. a regular and that Mr. Laidlaw, who is now a cripple and is said to be dying from his injuries, was deliberately used by Mr. Sage as a buffer or shield when the latter suspected that Norcross might carry out his threat to blow up the building if his demand for $1,200,000 were not complied with. Forty thousand dollars would be a high price for some lives, but it is probably a low mar- ket rate for a life like that of Mr. Sage, who is one of the giants of American com- merce, but who in the present proceedings Seems to have modestly and parsimo- niously underestimated the pecuniary val- ue of his own preservation. 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. A new court for the interpretation of the laws of Congress has been discovered. It does not belong to the regular judicial de- partment of the government but starts out on its career with all the assurance of a complete authority. It is composed of the Board of Directors of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company which has just held solemn conclave and decided that Congress did not know what it was about when it ordered the company to take down its overhead wires on New York avenue by the first of July next. A more extraordinary assumption of authority than that exhibited by this company in its let- ter to the District Commissioners published in today’s Star in relation to this matter can scarcely be imagined. The District Commissioners are confronted with their plain duty. The statutes require that the op- eration of the overhead system of electric wires on New York avenue shall cease with the current fiscal year. There is no margin or leeway in this legislative instruction. There is no escape from absolute compli- ance with the exact terms of the statute. Yet the company now asserts that Con- gress never intended it should be required to take down its wires and to change its motive power because, forsooth, Congress did not see fit to provide it with authority to increase its bonded indebtedness, as though Congress were in the business of teaching private corporations the art of running in debt. It will be astounding if the arguments contained i: Manager Schoepf's letter shall be entertained by the Commissioners for a moment. If after the July 1 the poles and overhead wires are still In existence on New York avenua the company will be liable for an illegal occupation of the streets and for obstruct- ing the kighway. ———- ++ There is a fine field for the application of the Edmunds law immediately under the shadow of the First Precinct Police Sta- tion, in the range of which there may be found scorss of flagrant violations of this statuce, which has now been held to apply to the District. In carrying out the pro- visions of the act in the Division there will be no necessity to resort to dubious meth- ods of making out doubtful cases. The re- port of a recent raid on a disorderly house in the dark part of town noted the fact that the men who were at first taken into custody on the premises were afterwards released. The woman who kept the house was locked up and fined. If the police ar- rested these men under circumstances which stamped the weman’s house as of ill fame, evidence of the same circum- stances would seem to convict the men of violations of the Edmunds” law. There should be no discriminations in the en- forcement of the law exempting its open and flagrant violators. The authorities must not strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. —___ e+____ Today marks the closing of another suc- cessful school year. The public schools of Washington aro excellent iilustrations of the possibility of continual advancement, and it is within the bounds cf reason to expect that next year these free institu- tions of learning will Pave still farther pro- gressed toward an ideal condition of effec- tivene. Not only does the scheol popula- tion constantly increase, sometimes more than keeping up with the increase of the or- dinary population, but the standard of thor- oughness is, always advancing, and new fields are being opened that were hitherto supposed to be beyond the range of public instruction. The rank of Washington among the American cities in the stand- ing of its public schools is exceptionally high, and would be higher still if it were not so difficult to obtain liberal allowances from Congress to keep pace with the grow- ing demand for more schools and more teacher: onomy in such a direction is very poor policy, and no public money is e better spent than in {he education of the children, in which is #volved the mak- ing of good citizens. — + 0] _____ If the President could see fit to apply the competitive examination idea to the appointment of Recorder of Deeds the District might be spared much of the an- noyance which it undergoes so frequently under the present system. 0 It is sincerely hoped that his government will not find it necessary to call Sir Julian Pauncefote to account for being a gentle- man. ———_ > + ___- Good results should flow from the meet- ing to be held in New York on Friday and Saturday of this week of representative American physicians to discuss the subject of pollution in the water supply of cities. This meeting is the result of the efforts of Dr. Charles Smart of the United States Army, who has learned that there is no concerted action among the bacteriologists of the country in studying the infection of drinking water and that each of the many institutions interested in such subjects has carried on its own distinctive inquiry, in- dependent in method and scope. This sub- ject is as near to the welfare of the public as any that can be discussed, for late science has amply demonstrated the fact that from polluted water comes a large proportion of the ills- that affect people living In great cities, and while, of course, there Is little need of united action in the eradication of the evil, as each city is really independent of others in this matter, yet great good can be accomplished by an interchange of ideas and by the establish- ment of the best systems for the det nm of harmful bacteria in drinking water and for the most approved method of purifica- tion, This 1s a subject that interests every gommunity in the land and will continue to be of greater importance as, thr the Mmorease of urban population, the wate: supply problem becomes more and r difficult of solution. ————+ ++ ___. ‘There is’ something elther in the personal gharacter of the millionaire or in the mer- dts of the case itself that has evidently ap- ealed to the public heart in the suit rought by Mn Laldlaw in New York @gainst Mn Russell Sage for damages, used by Mr, Laidlaw’s having been’ used, he alleges, by Mr, Sage as a buffer #gainst the force of the explosion when the crank Norcross dropped his dynamite- Jaden satchel in Mn Sage’s office on the #th of December, 1891, This feeling of Bympathy for the plaintiff has exhibited fiself throughout the country whenever the famous casa has come to trial, and it re- elved additional demonstration when last qvening the fourth jury that hes heard the Saye brought in a verdict granting Laid- Yaw $40,000 damages, Such suits often have Marks of blackmail, and of being ught simply because the defendant has ith, But the testimony tn the preseat _fibae ban alwaya been strongly to the point —— Is the new minister about to take rank with the new woman as an end of the cen- tury phenomenon? The new woman owes much of ker notoriety at the present to the improvement in bicycles, which has made it possible for her to appear cheaply and more or less gracefully in public, firmly seated on the saddle of the steed of steel. The new clergyman is having varied fortunes in his efforts to reconcile religion and bicycling. Rev. James H. Messenger of the Hope Baptist Church of Albany has just been forced to resign his charge because certain influential mem- bers of the congregation objected to his making pastoral calls on a bicycle. This action ts In sharp opposition to that taken recently by Baltimore church, which raised 4 fund and purchased a bicycle for its minister for the very purpose of en- abling him to perform more readily and speedily his parochial peregrinations. The Baltimoreans seem to have done the mcre sensible thing, for unquestionably this is an age of rapid transit, and the principles of quick locomotion will sooner or later be applied to religious enterprises as well as to commerce. It is not to be questioned that a large proportion of the men, and perhaps women, of these two churches are addicted to the use of the wheel, and it may be depriving the min- ister of meeting his parishioners on com- mon ground to prohibit him from using the bicycle as an agent in hia church work. —__+ + > —__ The committee of the Washington Board of Trade in charge of the matter has done its share in the effort to abolish the gam- bling evils that exist at Jackson City, and the other resorts across the river on Virginia soil, and has forwarded the results of its labors to Governor O’Ferrall, on whom now rests the sole responsibility. Evidence amply suffictent to convict many persons is said to have been gathered, and in accordance with Governor O'Ferrall’s pledges successful prosecutions may be ex- pected to follow immediately. —_—__> + =—__ : From the fact that Carl Browne is hold- Ing solo commonweal performances, it is to be inferred that he is about the only member of the “army” who remains out of a job. —___+ += —_,__—_ ‘The manner in which the New York Cal- vin Brice bustles for Ohio’s Senator Brice shows what a mighty convenient thing a political astral bedy is to have around. +2.

The Familiar Complaint. “Horace,” said the young author’s wife, “here's the collector again.” “Tell him I haven't any cash just at present.’ “I did tell him that. He says that a check is due by this time from the maga- zine, and he'll take that if you'll indorse it” “Great Scott! This is terrible.” “Do you hate to part with the money, dear?” “No. It makes me indignant to be pur- sued in this way for my autcgraph.” Patriotism.
