6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. aaneces se+2 July 5, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. .Editor. TRE EVENING STAR a regular and permunent circulation much more than the combined ctreulntion 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 nhsence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the oMfee, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Although there has been marvelous mul- tiplication of educational facilitjes in re cent years, there are undoubtedly many ents of the United States, who, if they huve any cpinion at all as to this community, are inclined to the helicf that it is made up almost entireiy of those vho ure directly im the service of the United Statea, the cther supposed constituents of the population be'ng hotel proprietors, boarding-house keepers ard merchants. Washington owes it to these uninformed People of the country that It participate In such affairs as the Atlanta exposition, ‘to the end that the public mind may be im- Pressed with the situation as it is. Of course there is another and an equally B00 reason why the District of Colum- bia should have an exhibit at Atlanta and wherever cise individuals and communities join to show how rapidly our civilization advances. The commission in charge of the District exhibit which is to be a part of the Atlanta display has decided what should be sent south as evidence of edu- cational, literary and art'stic life at the national capital. Contributions to what Will doubtless be a highly-crediiable whole will be an exhibit of the work of the pub- He schools, an exhibit of rare and historic relics connected with colonial and revo- lutionary times, an exhibit of the werks of Washington artists, an exhibit of the literary preducts of Wash:ngton writers and an Interesting contribution from the Women’s Peace Congress. To box, ship and display the aggregate exhibits will cost almost, if mot quite, three thousand dollars, and as Congress made ne appro- ation of municipal funds to defray the nse it becomes nece: for individ- Washingtonians to contribute to the A number of leading citi- ual essential sum. zens have consented to serve on the finance they and the newspapers of the tions. commit city will receive subse a ee Washington has suffered considerably frem the dread disease “Kyphosis-bicyelist- trum” and even now has a few cases of the disterting malady in Its midst, but it need not fear the coming of that dread sceurge—“the bicycle face’—which seems to have caused so much of alarm in New Yerk and Philadelphia. Kyphosis-bicyclist- arum is a composite scientific term indicat- ing curvature ef the spine as developed by those riders of the wheel who insist upon high saddles and low handlebars and who, when approaching the observer, seem to have their faces set well down in their con- cave chests. “Bicycle face’’ is the neme which has been given to the painful- ly-tense features of a large majority of the riders in Gotham and the Quaker City. First among the dogmatic statements as to this affliction was the announcement that the facial change was wrought by the seri- ousness of wheeling effort; most of the Tiders devoting themselves intently to rapidity of motion over long distances. Tren it was insisted that the physiognom- ical alteration was due to concern born of the indifference to wheelmen’s rights on the part of pedestrians, vehicles and the city authorities. The Philadelphia Press says that one of the chief causes of “bicycle face” in the City of Brotherly Love is the extremely bad character of so many of the street-car crossings. “Then,” says the Press, “after the badly-laid crossings come the asplalted streets where the asphalt has risen from its bed and folded itself in lumps, humps and waves, as if an ocean of molasses and tar under the fury of a storm was suddenly congealed. The length of these solid waves is such that they catch the bicycle either in the hollows or the summits and the jolting is of an unusual and terrifying character.” It will at once be evident to all intelligent persons that the bicycie face has no more chance for getting its grip cn Washington than a plains In- dian has of acquiring dyspepsia. Our ad- vice to the sufferers In Philadelphia and New York is to migrate to Washington where asphalt is laid flat and stays flat, where street cars run on grooved rails the upper surfaces of which are level with the street itself, and where wide thoroughfares and the almost complete absence of heavy grades render existence Elysian to the wheeling enthusiast. . ——_— - ++ ____ Except in extraordinary cases—the health officer to be the Judge—there should be no “roping-oft" of streets because of sickness. If this city’s highways were paved with cobblestones or Belgian blocks, as in Bal- timore and other cities where noise is deemed essential to a reputation for great commercisl industry, then there would be propriety in temporarily stopping traffic along squares on which sick people reside, but when it is borne in mind that nearly all our thoroughfares are paved with- smoothly-laid asphalt the argument in favor of ropes and white flags and. lan- terns necessarily vanishes. In a communi- cation which appeared in yesterday’s Star it was made evident that the ropes and their accompaniments are not necessary, the desired quietness being assured by a combination of smooth street-surface and two signboards inscribed “Sickness—Walk your Horses.” The results of these warn- ing boards have been perfectly satisfactory to both patient and physician. It would doubtless work well in nearly every in- stance and should be at least given a thor- ough trial before the habit of street ob- struction—often trivially indulged in—be- comes firmly fixed. + oe —_____ Though the subject of a limited and class- building income-tax has been shelved for @ while by the Supreme Court, it is inter- esting to speculate upon the probable re- sults consequent upon the decision of the Court which rendered collection of the tax levied by Congress utterly impossible. The Yesults, of course, appear differently to those who advocated the tax and those who opposed It. In the July Forum both sides of the case are presented by two lawyers of eminence who were engaged in the litiga- tory contest which precelel the wrecking of the income-tax. Ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont, who was opposed to the law, chats hopefully of the “salutary results of the income-tax decision,” while Assistant Attorney-General Whitney talks with all seriousness of “the ‘polical dangers” that follow necessarily, if his views are correct, from the decisive action of the court. Sen- etor Edmunds finds cause for congratula- tion in the fact that the great architects and builders of this government knew “that the rule of taxation should and could mot Safely be left to the unlimited caprice Or prejudice or selfishness of mere majori- ties fepresented in Congress,” therefore the qudicial department of the government was made specially independent of the changing fashiong and policies of any and every party and period in the nation’s progress. Whe distinguished statesman regards as tugory the fears that have been express2d the Ganger that the decision may cripple the government In time of war or dther THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. sore need. He says that the whole range of voluntary social and bustness activities is left open, as the Constitution originally stated it, to uniform and equal taxation, and the whole property of the couatry, real,- personal and mixed, is left subject to taxation by the just and safe rule origi- anlly declared, according to representation. The great popular victory is, in fact, that the essential principies of the people's gov- ernment of equal rights and equal duties in its management and progress are re-estab- lished. Mr. Whitney insists that the situation is wrapped in much gloom. He is evidently of the ovinion that the Constitution has been warped out of shape, and desirous that there shall come speedily such constitu- tlonal amendments as he believes to be really necessary. He seems to kave lost con- fidence In the Supreme Court. Prior to the decision which he discusses, the court held, in Mr. Whitney's opinion, 2 position almost unique and far apart from poiitical confilet —‘‘like the speakership of the British House of Commons.” “Is it now,” asks Mr. Whit- ney, “to develop into something more like the Speakership of the American House of Representatives?” He believes that the latter will be its destiny if, often, at a time of high feeling and amidst newspaper clamor, it reverses past decisions and aban- dons principles of constitutional construc- tion inherited from ancient times. In the destruction of the continuity of the court— in the reasoning which segregates the nine judges of today from the nine judges of thirty years ago—Mr, Whitney finds cause "for alarm. For if the income-tax errors of justices long dead may be reviewed by their successors, there may also be review of de- cisions as to national banks, the control of commerce and legal tender notes, while no ‘ogical objection could be offered to a lat- ter-day inquiry into the constitutionality of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Mr. Whitney’s argument, therefore, is that wealth, “for the present moment released from a small pecuniary assessment,” -will lose In the end by the new gospel of insta- bility. ——_+ «+ Selentific research in the efforts of elec- tricity as a means of death shows that while a man may live without much brains proper, he cannot possibly get along with- out a meduila oblongata. — — + + = —___ The statesmen of the country evidently recognize the fact that the present time affords extraordinary opportunities for do- ing something they willbe sorry for. —~ + + 2 ___ Forty-three men were given credit for time put in today on the construction of the aew city post-office building.

You should have told me you wanted one that would wash.” a 0 The Unwise and Injurious Policy of Secrecy. Wash. Cor. Phila. Press. 3 Supreme authority (in Washington) is lodged in three Commissioners, the only practical appeal from whose rulings and course of action is in Congress itself, which is slow to act and not always ready to listen to a popular grievance. Not being indebted to the people of the District for their offices it might be supposed that the three Commissioners would feel independent ard would carry on reforms unhindered by the Interests of local political bosses. This has been true in many instances, and some of the great improvements about this city are due to the fact that they were car- ried through without the voice of an oft- time misled and too conservative a public. On the other hand, the Commissioners often act as though the knowledge that they are not Indebted to the people for their positions is strongly supplemented by the knowledge that they are not an- swerable to the people for their conduct. Just at this present time the three gentle- men who are the autocrats of the District are acting as though the property owners and the citizens in general have no right to know what is being done in the way of conducting the affairs of the city and Dis- trict. The three Commissioners have de- cided that newspapers are menaces to good government, and therefore should not be allowed to print the actions of the District administration. They have revived the old English star chamber method of doing business, and haye established a censor- ship of the press waich prevents the publi- cation of any transaction of this august board of Commissioners except that which the board decides is healthy for the public to know. This autocratic power has been sufficient to close the mouths of all sub- ordigates, and it ts as much as his position is worth for a clerk to so much as mention to a newspaper reporter the most t jal happening about the District Commission- ers’ offices. There is one power the Com- missioners are subservient to, however, and that Is the chief executive, the President of the United States, who holds the power to appoint or to dismiss any or all of these gentlemen. It is natural that they should seek to please this great power, and to this desire is attributed the recent order with regard to newspaper seporters being allowed access to the news of the District administration. ‘This secretive policy of e board of Commissioners has added con- aoe strength to the suffrage move- ment in the District, SAKS AND COMPANY'S BOYS’ You Know it takes something besides a low price to make’ a bargain.
