6 THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON. MONDAY. July 8, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. s+eeee Editor, THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation muéh more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailles. As a News and Advertising Medium it han no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal nbsenee, letters to THE STAR should not be nddreased to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Dusiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. “Until recently the newspapers of Wash- ington were openly hostlle to organized labor.” Washington Times. So far as this statement is intended to apply to The Star there fs no truth in it. The Star has long believed in the rightful- ness and wisdom of organization among workingmen to increase wages, shorten hours of labor and otherwise better their physical, mental and moral condition. It has long recognized and upheld the wage- earners’ right to quit work at will and peaceably to dissuade others from working. It has at the same time viewed the un- doubted right and power to strike as a double-edged weapon, often wounding se- verely the hand that wields it, and there- fore to be judiciously and sparingly used in the interest of the workingman himself. The Star has always been hostile to the doctrines of anarchy whether taught by labor leaders o> anybody else. It has al- ways been hostile to the lawless violence of the dynamiter, bludgeon-wielder, incendiary and assassin, no matter by whom or in whose name or behalf crime has been committed. But The Star does not for an instant admit, and it does not believe that the Times will contend, that hostility to an- y and lawlessness is under any con- titions hostility to a basic ‘zed labor. The Star is the organ of the people of We ston. It aims to print the fullest, the most accurate and the most readable accounts of the news of the whole world, giving especial attention to happenings within the District of Columbia. Its pur- ycse is to promote the welfare of the na- ticral capital in every manner possible, fos- tering the interests not of the rich alone or of the poor alone, not of the employer alone or the employed alone, but of all Washing- fon and all W: ingtonlans, as befits a people's paper, circulating in nearly every heme in the District, in distinction from a class publication. Though in developing and improving the national capital The Siar has benefited all residents without regard to color, sex, oceu- pation or wealth, yet it has happened that many of Its most important battles in the public interest have been for the spectal benefit of the wage-earners, and have brought it in direct conflict with ag- gregated wealth in the great semi-public ecrporations, such as steam-railway, street- railroad, telegraph, telephone, gas and elec- tric light compantes, which haye from time to time threatened the city’s welfare. When the interests of Washington or of its hum- blest citizens haye been at stake The Star has not hesitated to grapple with whatso- ever endangered them, whether a President of the United States, a Senator or Repre- sentative, or any of the powerful corpora- tions which exercise so commanding and at times so dangerous an influence at the na- tional capital. The Times itself ts in positicn to give eyi- dence concerning The Star’s attitude to- ward labor, inasmuch as The Star freely loaned it mechanical facilities, enabled it to obtain press association service, and materially it in every way possible, at a time when it was owned by local work- ingmen, and run exclusively in their in- terest, before it became the property of the wealthy Indiana capitalist and manufac- turer who now owns it. —__- +02 ——__ ‘The brief delay secured by the Eckington Railroad Compayy in court today in the case of the overhead trolley poles and wires w York avenue may perhaps be fairly typical of the course that this road is going to pursue in “trusting to luck” to success- fully defy the unquestionable will of Con- gress. That a fair interpretation of the law as it stands today, In the light of all the facts of the case, would cause the com- plete removal of the obstructions from New York avenue, no well-informed person has the slightest doubt, yet It Is only too evi- dent that the company hopes, by taking advantage of the delays which the law al- lows, and especially by utilizing every pos- sible plan of procrastinatiou, which is espe- cially easy during th+ summer recess of the courts, td delay final action until the meet- ing of Congress, when legislation may per- haps be secured by some such means as those that were invoked in February last to secure the passage of an extension amendment through the House by a bit of legislative legerdemain. The answer of At- tdrney Thomas that was filed today states the case of the District In such convincing terms that it is difficult to see how the company has a single plea that can be maintained. As the Commissioners in t reply well say, the case before the court rot one involving questions of convenience to the community or profit to the corpora- tiem, but one of compliance with or de- fiance to the well-defined laws of the land. Were there any serious belief on the part of the people that the directors of the com- pany had any faith in the merits of their wn caise, some attention might be paid with profit to the items of controversy put forth by the complainant in this action, but it is a waste of time and space to se- Tlously contest, point by point, the falla- clous pleas of the company, which carry thelr own answers with tiem. ——___~ «+ —__ Americans the world over—without regard for partisan bias—will rejoice that there is probability of the growing generation enjoying, in the years to come, through association with the latest addition to the President's family, those qualities, to be renewed in her daugh which have given to Mrs, Cleveland genuine popularity and the unfeigned esteem of che nation. ee Canada, notwithstanding the embarrass- ments which recently threatened Sir Julian Pauncefote for complimenting the St. Louis, takes the liberty of saying that she admires the United States’ civil service system. This is very encouraging, We may yet hear of things being popular In Great Britain because they are “American, vou know.” —_~+ + ____ There is a great ahd growing public interest in the street-extension plans and in the ac- tion to be taken upon the protests which have been or are being filed with the com- mission whose duty It will be to decide definitely upon the lines which the city thoroughfares shall follow until they reach the District mits. It is conceded that the District Commissioners used their best judg- ment in making the plans to which excep- tion hag been taken, but it Js urged by those protesting that the Commissioners have wrought no improvement in 1’Enfant's much admired design where they have rad- feally departed from it. It !s contended that there are top many deflections in the map; too many diverted streets and distorted ave- nues; too many allowances for minor to- pographical peculiarities and individual hardships which should never have been considered at all. These contentions have been submitted to the commis- sion, which is finally to decide—com- posed of the Secretary of War, the Sec- retary of the Interior and the Chief of Engineers of the Army—one of the most important tribunals, so far as the fate of the future Washington is concerned, that has ever been constituted within the Dis- trict of Columbia. Without entering into the controversy over the extension of any Particular street or avenue the general public will doubtless be best pleased with the fewest possible serious divergences from L’Enfant’s plan. The claim that it would be cheaper to deflect in many in- stances than to follow a straight line ts not entitled to controlling weight, for economy is only a relative term after all, and it should be remembered that the high- way extensions now being provided for are not for today or tomorrow, but for hun- dreds of years. There will be no semblance of economy in a plan that would need re- vision within a quarter of a century. Gracefully curved boulevards and park driveways are pleasing features, some di- vergences from the existing plan are for topographical reasons unavoidable, but crooked streets and irregularities of high- ways can, with difficulty, be justifled by the mere allegation of present cheapness. —_—_+++—__ —_ Car-fenders seem to have been generally unpopular with street railroad companies, bu: the public can hardly do otherwise than rejoice over the fact that fendered cars are, in all reputable communities, the rule and not the exception. Yesterday a Jersey City boy was struck by a rapidly mcving trolley-car. In the good old days there would have been a job for an under- taker, but in this instance the fender threw the boy from the track without doing him any more damage than the mere skinning of one ankle. Just how much it cost to equip the Jersey City cars with fenders is not in evidence, but the probabilities are that the one life which was saved by a fender yesterday is worth more—viewed frcm a cold-bleoded, financial standpoint— tian all the fenders in the city. ‘The subject of having a fire engine com- pany and a police station located at Br'ghtwood ts agitating the cit!zens of that already populous and rapidly growing reighborhood and there appears to be no ggod reason why their wishes should not be gratified. The valuable property inter- ests in the District in the vicinity of Wash- ington are but poorly guarded either fron destruction by fire or visitations from the lawless, and as the District outside of the boundary is as much a portion of the seat of the national government as the squares bounded by avenues and streets, there should be a more thorough protection af- forded the less thickly settled ternitory. Brightwood should have what it needs by all means. ——— wee -—__ Perhaps it will be found desirable hereaf- ter for' a boat crew that goes abroad to take with it a special physician and a comic raconteur to keep the young men in the proper physical and meutal condition. ——_~ e+ __ Fifty-one men were employed today on the new city post-office building. Only fifty-one men on a structure whose outcr wails enclose a whole sqvare of ground. —_ ++ 2____ Alexandria county will doubtless see that as between the good will of the gamblers and a good healthy real estate boom, the latter presents infinite advantages. Secretary Carlisle is not only respectfully listened to where ever he delivers his financial views. He is in active’ popular demand. ———_+2____ There is a conviction in New York that Theodore Roosevelt can keep everything | shut except Ludlow Street Jail. —_~e+___ Summer theaters are equivped with elec- trie fans. Why should cnucches be any less favored? China will be remembered for years for her expensive plunge in the experience market. —__ + e+ —___ Mr. Quiy says that he Is for Mr. Reed for presiaent, but Mr. Reed is not saying a word. —— The Jackson City- witness is almost as hard to depend on as the ceckoon City horse. eee aris The Kentucky situation {s less conspicu- ous for its free silver than for its free fight. —_—__+ em SHOOTING STARS.
