THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON. MONDAY.......... teceeeeee Sully 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. .Editor. THEE EV ENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailles. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. eee eee eee 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 Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Had !t not been for the intervention of the court the trolley poles on New York avenue, which today became, by operation of the statutes, fllegal occupants of the highway, would doubtless by this time have been removed. The court, by grant- ing a temporary restraining order and mak- ing it returnable a week after the antl- trolley law goes Into effect, has granted to the corporation an extension of time which Congress dented, and it is barely possible, unless the attorneys for the District are exceedingly earnest and vigilant, that the company, through the law’s delays, may be xble to postpone action on the part of the fommiss‘oners until Congress meets. There is the best of evidence that this has been the plan of the corporation from the begin- ning, and that at no time has there been any sincere intention to displace the over- head trolley in the city with any other sys- tem, whatever may have been the demon- strations to the contrary. The Star has the most direct testimony that the company knew positively that the bill granting the extension which is made the basis of the plea before Judge Cox could not possibly poss, ard that this information reached the directors immediately after the passage of the amendment through the House by a trick. This was early in February, at the vame time that the company had applied for and obtained a permit to establish the magnetic system of propulsion on New York avenue. At that time one of the prominently active of the road’s officialsy went to a Senator who was thoroughly well informed upon local street raliway matters ard pleaded that an effort should be made to push the extension through the Senate. ‘The Senator assured him that the bill could not by a ibility pass bearing that prov n, and that, if he desired to keep peles on the avenue, he had far better trust to luck to maintain them than to raise the question for a moment in the Senate. This Senator knew, 93 the director knew, that as the Senate then stood, and as it pre- sumably stands today, any legislation granting further life to the overhead trol- ley in thfs city was an impossibility, and that the mere suggestion of that means of motive power in the upper house would be a signal for a storm of indignant protesta- tion. With th's knowledge, which may pos- sibly have come to the director even earlier than the date mentioned, the company must have known that all hope of obtaining the extension was futile. At that time the best of expert epinion was that the mag- netic system proposed could be fully in- stalled in ninety days. There then re- mained of the time granted to the trolley over four months and a half, and over a m o ssion before adjournment. The plain duty of the company, it would seem, after learning that this extension was be- yend the range of possibility, was to utilize the remaining days of the session to obtain Censr ssional authority to issue more bonds to obtain money with which to effect the change in the motive power of the road. ‘This, it is known, would have been granted without question and in ample season. Having given such an earnest of intention of doing something in conformity with law and public sentiment, the company would doubtless have met with little or no ob- struction from the Commissioners at this date. The action of the directors in now going into court with such a plea as that which has been made the basis of the ap- pleation for an injunction shows that they are indeed “trusting to luck” to maintain the poles and wires and are determined to utilize every technicality to avoid doing what is their plein duty. ——-_ + + ___. Venturesome people who have been plan- ing to reach the North Pole in boats or on sleds or skates will please sit still for a season and give to three or four foolhardy French scientists an opportunity to ap- preach the mysterious source of terrestrial magretism in a balloon. At a meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris some three weeks ago a commission of well- known scientific experts reported favorably upcn a project In which the star part is to be taken by a specially constructed balleon. ‘There is nothing novel in the idea, for sim- jlar plans have been frequently presented to the public; the novelty is in the proba- bility that a fully-equipped balloon will start northward some time during the com- ing month. The ascension is billed to take place at Spitzbergen, whence air currents blow steadily and with moderate speed toward the pole throughout July. The dis- tarce to be traveled by the aeronauts is not very great and those who will be of the expedition say there is only one phase of the excursion likely to prove dangerous, and that it to be found in the fact that tkere is no return current of air. Where the Spitzbergen zephyrs go to they do not krow, but ignorance as to the action of aerial motive power at the pole does not seem to exert any repressing influence on the enthusiastic scientists. If the balloon- ists—or more properly the balloonatics—do succeed in getting Into the immediate vi- cinity of t pole, and there is no change in the direction of the wind, they may have an opportunity to frighten some wandering sealer in Bering Sea. _———— Forty-three men were employed upon the city post-office building today. They are doing what they can toward completion, but that, unfortunately, is not much, —_+ e+ —___ Scme of the greatest blunders ever made by men in power have materialized when those possessed of national or municipal authority and desirous of doing right have given way under great pressure exerted by those who were willing to do wrong if the wrong appeared to be politic. It ts not likely, however, that there will be any blunder in the government of New York city from such a cause. Saturday, a dele- gation of Manhattanttes called upon Mayor Strong and President Roosevelt of the pelice board for the purpose of insisting that the Sunday excise law be not en- forced. Those who were members of that delegation will probably think twice befo: repeating the experiment of bulldozing “Messrs. Strong and Roosevelt. In view of declarations made by the city administra- tion, it was, perhaps, rather surprising that an organized effort should have been made to bring about laxity in the en- forcement of law, but some excuse can be found in the almost invariable practice of prior municipal administrations in Gotham. There the man with a pull has been able to get about all he desired, and although great changes have taken place during the past eight months, the average New Yorker has evidently failed to realize how radical are the amendments. Mayor Strong is on record as sympathizing to some ex- tent with those people who want more Uberal Sunday laws, but he made it very plain to the advocates of seven-days-a- ‘week saloons that so long as the present law exists it will be strictly enforced, and in this he was loyally supported by Mr. Bacssvyt Gome ef the arguments used [ome Riad aaa I. MOG in favor of non-enforcement of the law were quite direct, politically, and more than indicated that those who were ‘iIn- terested in keeping the saloons open on the Sakbath would work tooth and toe-nail to defeat any and all individuals who in a matter of such importance stand in their way. Mr. Roosevelt's response was char- acteristic: “You have threatened me. That for your threats,” and Mr. Roosevelt snapped his fingers. Furthermore he said: “I thank you, gentlemen, for stating the issue plainly. You want us not to enforce the law because it would be impolitic. That does not influence me. I am not a candidate for any office, but if I were that would not swetve me a hair’s breadth. The greatest source of corruption in the past was the failure to enforce the laws, and you gentlemen come here to demand a@ return to the grossest corruption of the old system: Boiling over with wrath, a member of the delegation told the mayor that his administration in this matter was “an asinine exercise of official au- tkcrity.” Then he continued: “If you keep this up your administration will go out of power with the people of the city thcroughly disgusted with it. The people would rather be governed by political sbarks than by political reform bigots.” To which Mayor Strong replied: “The law will be enforced even if it meant a hun- dred political deaths for me.” Leaving entirely out of consideration the equities involved, there cannot be any- thing but congratulation for the mayor and president of the police board. Had they weakened in the presence of the 125,000 vetes said to be there represented the catse of go6d government would have suffered a more disastrous defeat than can pessibly be inflicted even should Tam- many prove victorious in the next election. ———_ + = —__. The presence of reform is being made apparent in all sorts of unexpected places. For so many years past that the memory of man runneth not to the cortrary, sec- ticns of this country have at various times been afhicted by downpouring hailstones “of the size of eggs.” No particular va- riety of eggs was mentioned in that connec- tion, so the unsophisticated reader gener- ally accepted it as a fact that the eggs must be of the sort commonly contributed by the average hen of commerce whose product was quoted in Saturday's Star as being worth about twelve and one-half cents a dozen. Several times have these hailstone-egg stories been discredited, and lately they have been laughed at to such an extent that a change in the simile was demanded. A néwspaper reporter at Al- bert Lea, Minn., says that the hailstones which fell recently in the vicinity of Hokah in the same state were. ‘‘as large as lemons." This announcement is much more definite, for while there are lemons and lernons— some being exceedingiy small and weaz- ened in appearance, while others are of ore, generous proportions—there is never- theless not nearly so much difference in the size of lemons as there is in the size of eggs. Altogether the change is to be com- mended. The very idea of being pelted with eges is distasteful, even to the most callous individual. As missiles, lemons would be quite as effective, are much more seasonable in hot weather and have the added advantage of causing less damage to the clothing of the human target. ——+ ee Col.

IMMENSE CROWDS All Day Saturday. HE RETIRING SALE in- augurated by us Saturday morning, Jun? 29, attracted the largest crowd ever gath- ered together in any retail store in Washington. The store wrs packed solid all day, and the doors had to be shut at frequent intervals during the day to keep out the im- Tense throng which was wating on the sidewalk. The prices quoted ‘were the lowest prices ever qnoted in Washington for the same quality of goods. A great many of the lots have been entirely cleaned out, but there is still left good picking in the ma- Jority of the lines for those who will come at once, Many who came Saturday were not waited upon, fof which we crave your kind indulgence, as the crowd was far in excess of our greatest ex- peetations. By the addition of 25 more salesiadies we hope to be able by tomorrow morning to give every- body who comes their due share of attention. It is impossible at this writing to give any additional prices, as the doors are closed and the store is crowded full of eager buyers who de- mand all of our attention. We will work all night tonight to get the goods on the counter and marked and arranged fer your inspection Tuesday merning, aud tke doors will not be opened for business until 10 o'clock.
