6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY.. -+-.June 28, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. ?.............. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circujation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailles. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no conipetitor. 2 [7ln order to avoid delays, on ac- count of pertonal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorin! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpone. When it is made plain that more than a qnarter of a million of working men and women have had their wages materially increased within the past thirty days, then even the pessimist will have to admit that business conditions must be {mproving. That the betterment has been extremely slow {s certain, and at times it has been almost {mpossible to find ground solid enough upon which to base a hope for anything like !mmediate improvement, but progress nevertheless has been steady and will doubtless be considerably accelerated by that renewed growth of confidence which springs into being mainly through the force of example. Recently the New York World presented a detalled list of establishments in which wages have been increased within the past month, and the showing Is likely to do great good. Es- pectally marked have heen the advances in the iron and coke Industries; it being esti- mated that not less than one hundred thou- sand men in the Pittsburg district sre bereficlaries of just Mberality on the part of thelr employers. It has been a mercan- tile rule, to which the exceptions have been few indeed, that increase of wages could only come as the result of agitation and pressure by the wage-earners; !t now ap- pears that in practically every instance of recent increase the additional compensa- tion has been volntarily paid by the em- ploying individuals and firms. Following immediately upon the advance of wages in the fron trades were advances tn the clothing business, and now there are Indi- cations of upward wage-tendenctes in half a dozen other Ines of manufacturing energy. An especially delightful feature of the reviving industrial conditions is the admirable temper displayed by capital and labor, The increases have been almost wholly of the voluntary sort; never was the number of strikes so small. It may there- fore be that out of the common suffering consequent upon long-continued depression there will come mutual understanding such as will render serious disagreement less probable than it has been in days not so long depurted. —____+ e=—_____ In recently-issued charters to semi-public corporations organized to operate street- railway lines, provision has properly been made for more equitable contributions to municipal expeases than were called for in days gone by. There was a time when street-rallway companies thought they were doing well enough when they con- tributed their share of taxes on property owned, It did not seem to occur to any one that It would be the right thing to render financial recompense for the very valuable privilege of street occupation and often of monopoly. The practice of street-railway companies In many English towns of per- mitting workingmen to travel at reduced rates during certain hours of the day sug- gests a way through which the local trans- portation companies may relieve them- selves of some of thelr indebtedness to the public. Steady patrons of street cars, yet often unable to afford the necessary ride, are members of the working-classes—those who commence thelr daily toil during the early morning hours, These the companies could easily accommodate by making not unreasonable reduction of fare. There is nothing revolutionary in the proposition to do all street-rallroad business prior to S o'clock each week-day morning on a basis of three cents for each passenger. The number of persons other than wage-earners likely to patronize street cars before 8 o'clock in the morning must te Infinitesi- small, so it seems to be reasonably that there would be only a minutely fractional percentage of improper benefic aries. That the companies will take this suggestion to heart and act upon It in- stantly {s not to be expected; they will hang on to the five-cent fare er six tickets for twenty-five cents so long as Congress will permit them to, but the proposition of a three-cent fare during those morning rours in which the traffic is contributed almost exclusively by the men and women who are on their way to frequently ill-paid toll is a good thing, and to be pushed along. ——+ ++ __- Every one who knows anything about the law involved in the Dana libel case knows that if Judge Brown had sent the lbellers to Washington for trial the decision would have récognized the right to institute these removal proceedings In libel cases as be- longing only to the District of Columbia, whoso resident§ suffer pecullar disabilities in certain other respects which have caused the Suprem2 fourt to declare that they stand in a less favorable attitude toward the naticnal judictary than aliens. If Judge Brown had dectded in favor of this exclu- sive privilege for the District, offsetting in part Its conceded disabilities, Arizona and Alaska would still have been compelled to catch their New York hbellers within the borders of their respective communities and could not have sent for them through re- moval proceedings In the U. 8. courts. those esteemed cotemporaries who ar warmly congratulating themselves and all the world that in view of Judge Brown's decision the cow-boys and Mexicans of Arizona and the Indians of Alaska cannot pluck them from their happy homes, trans- port them acroas the continent, and subject them to barsarious frontier judicial meth- ods, perhaps to trial in Judge Lynch court, are indulging in superfluous enthus' asm over relief from a purely imaginary apprehension. So —— +++ —_____ So much is heard nowadays about the west and the south being pitted against the north and the east in the great currency fight that the question naturally arises tn the midst of the sparring of the prelim- inary bouts: Just what strength have the combined west and south against those sections of the country that are conceded to be opposed to the 16 to 1 system of finance. The present electoral vote of the country aggregates 444, and in order to win the presidency the silverites must se- cure 223 votes in the college. Can they do it? The statistics do not seem favorable to their enterprise. The New England states have 39 votes, and they are today all classed om the side of sound money. 80 with the 95 votes of the Middle states, with the possible exception of West Virginia, with its six votes. Eliminating that doubt- ful factor, the Middle states may be said to have 89 votes reasonably sure for the can- idate who stands on the platform of good currency. The latest opinion is that the following states—the middle west—may now be placed in the same column, though as to some of these there is dispute: Ohio, 2: Illinots, 24; Indiana, 15; Michigan, 14; Wis- consin, 12; Minnesota, 9; Iowa, 18, and Kentucky 13, thus making a total vote for sound money of 251, or 28 more than a majority of the college. If West Virginia joins the sound money column, then the total vote egalnst the white metal will be OT. Thus in order to carry the presidency the silverites would have to capture these states, which are claimed by both sides: Kentucky, 13; Illinois, 24, end West Vir- ginia, 6, a total of 43 votes, which would make the college stand, silver 230, sound money 214. This can only be accomplished, too, by holding all the southern states as Well as those in the west that have gener- ally exhibited republican tendencies. That the solid money men have the best of the situation is apparent at a glance over these figures. In order to win they have but to hold their own in the strongholds of safe finance. They can, by winning in Illinois, lese Iowa, West Virginia, and Kentucky, and yet capture the great prize, or holding the others they can lose Illinois. The odds of the combination are overwhelmingly against the free-silverites: There are several States in the south that are none too surely lodged in the silver column, and the west outside of the silver-producing states may Prove to be somewhat less solid for the cause of silver than the boomers of the campaign in its behalf represent. The elec- toral apportionment represents as nearly as Possible the distribution of the population of the country, and no better test could be applied to the strength of the movement that Is now under way. Very many careful calculators are satisfied that the free-silver fallacy has even now been overthrown; that the call for a conference in this city in August 4s the last desperate effort to save the movement from immediate disin- tegration. ————_+ e+ _____ The complaint made by a physician who writes to The Star as to the common Practice in this city of stopping traffic on streets in the immediate vicinity of per- sons who are supposed to be seriously ill has foundation. There 1s point to the cor- respondent's suggestion that there Is less necessity for such obstruction in this city than In any other center of population in the country, and there ts much to be said in favor of the proposition to substitute In many cases sign-boards, requesting com- parative noiselessness, for ropes and rags. Of course there should be all necessary consideration for those who are physically and mentally afflicted. and this doftless would be given by every individual who would be notified by the s!gn-boards that the sick 6ne appealed for as much as possl- ble of silence. — + ____ Washington will heartily welcome genu- ine horse-racing without the gambler and thug accompaniments, whether at Benning or Alexander Island or St. Asaph's. The race-tracks which injure a community, of the kind that New Jersey and other states have ejected, and that Virginia Is about to expel, are not designed for racing but for gambling. They are the scenes not of genu- ine speed-contests but of the operation of nearly every known form of gambling, and the sham racing Is merely a gambling de- vice lke a roulette table at Monte Carlo. ———— +e —___ Two-score men managed to make more nolse on the post office site today than has been heard there for some time past. But forty score couldn't make noise enough to displease the anxious citizens who fear that the prediction in granite on the north front is going to be discredited. ——_+ e+ _ A newspaper which protects and fosters lawlessness by rushing instinctively to the defense of the criminal element against the assaults of law, as if under perpetual re- tainer to ridicule in the capacity of crime’s buffoon advocate, ought to be ashamed of itself, though it is most likely to turn out to be shameless. + ___ Chicago has not been making much of an Angiomaniac splurge, but she seems to stand very well with Great Britain when it comes to the question of borrowing money. ——_~+ + It would be a very unfair thing for Cuba to use the formidable means of retaliation on this country for the anti-filibuster posi- tion which she possesses In the imported cigar. The Baltic and North Sea canal has Srounded one or two big ships, but shows ttle likelihood of equalling a cable road for delays or the trolley for mortality: +e ‘The trouble nearer at hand came pretty near diverting attention from the fact that the revolutionists farther south are still doing busiiess at the old stand. —o- In this era of three-ringed circuses It is, after all, not so very surprising to have Arthur P. Gorman accused of trying to boss two parties at once. —— 2 ____ As an enemy both of the Professional race-track gambler and of the deadly grade-crossing, The Star is in favor of ele- vating the tracks, + —___ There is a recognized need of some meth- od of limiting debate in the small boy's dis- cussion of the fire-cracker question. —_———_~ ++ ____ It is getting more dangerous to be a policeman than It to umpire a” baseball game. SHOOTING STARS, Considerate. The lightning bug is most polite, He doth illuminate Enough to see, but not enough To spoil a tete-a-tete. No Chance. “Wot ye got on hand fur tonight?” asked Bill Burgle. “How would ye like to take a turn at safe robbin’?"" “I've been lookin’ fur de chance all me life, but ‘tain’t no use. They’s so blame much reform dese days, dat we can't break inter polities where dey is sech a ting. We jes’ got ter go on takin’ risks when we rob.” “Doan’ git 'scouraged, sonny,” said Uncle Eben, “ bout uphill work. When er man ain’ strugglin’ up hill, he am, mo’n likely, slidin’ down hill.” Summer Resert Conversation. “What do the wild waves say?" he said. The echoes seemed to mock, While answering, “They don't say a word; Your money has to talk.” The Difference. “There's one eurlous thing about a Con- gressman,” sald the old-timer. “What ts that?” “When he's first elected he’ll hang around the town for months waiting for the janitor to open the House of Representatives. After he’s half through a session you have to put a rope around his neck and drag him in to get a quorum.” Gotham’s New Era. A lot of things are different from what they were of yore; The man who pays the taxes now and then may take the floor, And talk to a policeman without meeting with a frown Which freezes him completely out, since Teddy came to town. The elevated railway men have studied till they know What train you ought to take to get to where you want to go; No more they'll trample on your neck when they have thrown you down; ‘They call you “Sir,” and say “Good day,” since Teddy came to town. There tsn’t any telling where the thing Is going to stop; At present it seems likely the regenerated cop Will grow himself a pair of wings and wear a shining crown, And play a harp upon his beat, if Teddy stays in town.
