6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY, July 2, 1593. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. THEE EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulntion of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Adyertising Medium it has no competitor. [7 ln order to uvoid delnys, 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 Editorint or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = a “Who shall decide when doctors dls- agree?” is ‘an old and frequently unan- wWered question. Since it vas first pro- posed to use electricity instead of the rope for the execution of criminels condemned to death there nave been scientists and non-scientists who have steadily Insisted that the e tc shock nerely produced un- consciousness and did not kill. The fact that men and women and animals of the higher order had cchieved destruction by accidental conzact with electric-light and trolley wires was apparently disregarded, and the subsequent facts, that all of the Persons who were ccnducted to the electric chair in New York prisons have gone eise- Where a3 a result of those experiences, do not seem to have been taken into account. Opponents of electrical execution have in- sisted that murderers who are shocked in the so-called death chair are really killed by the doctors who perform autopsies upon the unconsclous bodies. As argument on the other side of the question, there are on exhibition in New York city portions of the bodies of murderers who have been electro- cuted, ani these specimens indicate that death was consequent upon the application of electric and not the result of the sur- feon's knife or saw. An essential portion of the mechanism of a Ilving man is the medulla oblongata, which is the continua- tion of the spinal cord within the cranium, The post-mortem examinations have shown conclusively that the electric current cooked thoroughly all the medullas of the electrocuted. It is absurd to argue that any being can hve with his spinal cord in the condition in which it is found to be after a seventeen-hundred-volt current has been applied for a minute or two. Electro- tion ts so far !n advance of the clumsy and painful and ancient execution by the noose : remarkable that any one, those threatened, should object to it. ee ‘The Star's suggestion that it would be well to examine thoroughly the cremation system which the garbage contractor ex- pected to put in operation here some time next winter is amply justified by the report of Health Officer Woodward, who has visited Atlanta for the purposes of inspect- ing the incineration plant operated in that city. The lverse report of the health officer is evidently not based upon theory, for the ma er of the southern depart- Ment of the company under whose patents Washingt arbage was to be cremated agrees with the health officer that the sys- tem could pot work satisfactorily in this city. The Commissioners and the health officer have now the work of selection to do over again. The District has a garbage contractor hut no accepted system. The Commissioners ought to satisfy themselves as to the best of the available systems, and secure and accept a bid from that system. The garbage removal bid which has been accepted was based upon the sysiem of garbage disposal which has been practically Tefected. —___ + ++ —___ Americans who are always ready to take advantage of an opportunity to insist that their country does everything just a little bit better than it is done anywhere else are not likely to make mention of a humil- fating fact which came’to the surface a few days since. Two big United States bat- tle-ships will soon need to be placed in.dry- deck and now it is officially announced that the war ships will be sent to the British cek at Halifax, which ts the only dock on sav the Auantic coast big enough to accommo- date the larger vessels of the new navy. What an absurb thing tt is to be without the essentials necessary to keep in order the ships which some day may have to he used for the purpose of compelling respect for the American flag and the opinions it represenis! It is unfortunately the case that many of our heavy-draught fighting ships have had to be sent to foreign ports that they might receive treatment without which they would soon cease to be effec- tive. The so-called economists whose nig- gardly behavior is largely responsible for our shortcomings may perhaps be proud of their penurious success, but the nation generally must surely feel disgusted. ——_ e+ —___ The fiscal year of 1895-'06 has opened up, yet the tea serpent has not made his ap- pearance at any of the sea-side resorts where, in seasons past, he has been wont to place himself on exhibition. Perhaps the bearding-house proprietors have suffered from the reptilian absence, but at least one of the Jersey resorts is sufficiently wide- awake to do the best it knows how to present an efficient substitute In the shape of a ghost. People who have seen the ghost are few in number and may not, in view of circumstances antecedent to the vision, be regarded as reliable witnesses, some of them would p believed had they made although a sixty- ent will doubtless be angered at this unprincipled effort of a Jersey hotel- to destroy the sea-serpent industry introduction of nothing more tangi- pre limit e occastonal pounding of a dcor or t of a bell, varied once in awhile by the burning of a red or green light. —_++ +____ Sixty men were employed today on the city post-oflice building. This is a decided but lusufficient increase in the force it the structure is to be completed by 1897— as the carved announcement on the build- ing’s front says it will be. —__- + «> —__ England's new ministry ts a decidedly- capable aggregation of men who, in the main, have had considerable experience in the art of government, but there does not seem to be any great amount of enthusiasm among British subjects over the change. Stanch tories are of course delighted at the supremucy which has come to their party, but the imp: on seems to prevail eve among these that power will rot r with them for any considerable p: time. On matters of vital importan ministry is out of accord with a public thought, so it is not at policy of the admi. ration—¥ the game old conservative po! so much dissatis @ ction in Engl. much nervousness abroad—will garded with any degree of favor by jority of the voters of Great Eritain. ig no probability of Ireland’s get thing worth having out of the new deal. It ts true that Tord Ashbourne, jo Is the new lord chancellor of Ireland, did very muoh toward facilitating the passage of the act of 188 by the terms of which Irish tenants have been enabled in many cases to improve their condition, but of the ad- ministration as a whole the Irish who favor home rule and measures closely related to that demand expect little or nothing. The Marquis of Salisbury is himse!f generally recognized as a disturbing factor in for- eign affairs, and there is strong probability of renewed friction between Great Britain and the United States as to British claims in Venezuela and elsewhere in Central and Southern America. When he was last in power, Lord Salisbury expressed himseif very emphatically as to British rights in Venezuela; it is not likely that his ex- pressions will be less emphatic in the near future. Possibility of rapidly generated warmth in both France and Canada is indicated by the utterances of La Patrie, the leading French-Canadian paper, in which it is stated that Joseph Chamber- lain's entrance to the colonial office causes general uneasiness. Mr. Chamberlain is stigmatized as “a jingo of the deepest dye, who detests equally Frarce and the United State: it is prophesied that the 1ew. secretary of state for the colonies will bring about trouble in Europe unless he {s controlled by some power that does not appear in the list of the cabinet as pub- Mshed. Whether there will be any ap- Proach to a rupture between the United States and Great Britain as to the Vene- zuela imbroglio will depend largely upon the action of Secretary Oley, who, up to this time, is credited with being a pretty stalwart specimen of the American man; one who has opinions of his own and suffi- clent courage behind those opinions to compel him to the doing of such things as he may deem necessary for the preser- vation of the prestige of the republic as one of the great powers of the earth. —__++-+___ War correspondents in Cuba have given variety to their stories from the disturbed {sland by publishing vivid narratives al- leging that the Spanish commander 1s en- gaged in loading up an expedition with poisoned food and defective cartridges, the whole outfit to be captured by rebels who will, it is presumed, unhesitatingly swallow the drugged food. What the unfortunate Cubars will do with the powderless cart- ridges Is not stated, but it is to be pre- sumed that they will have no use for any kind of cartridge after they have consumed the poisoned provisions. To the inexpert who view this warfare from afar the cart- ridge proposition seems to he altogether superfluous. Seriously, though, sit is not at all likely that in this era of civilization there exists a man deserving the name of soldier wko would descend to such methods as those which are attributed to Captain-General Campos. —_- + ¢ = ___ Paris has always been proud of ips police ferce, but the unconcealed manner in which a large number of thieves operated in the vicinity of a great fire that took place there yesterday has convinced a number of Amer- icans that there are some things that are done almost as well here as in Europe. ——_- + e 2 The manner in which an American girl who marries a foreigner is invariably ad- mired abroad is flattering, but it also serves to emphasize this country’s mis- fortune in’not being able to keep her here. _——___+ «+ —____ The young man in pelitics fs not creating quite, the Interest that the new woman is, but he is likely to achieve more tangible results.
