6 HE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. BIONDAT. .......0640.-..-- SUNY 15, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. ————————— 2'AB EVENING STAR has a regular and Permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertist Medium it has no competitor. —$———— t7In order to aveid delays, on ac- tount 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- memts, according to tenor or purpose. re The Eckington ratlway asked the court to restrain the Commissioners, and the court refused,-yet the Commissioners are, Jt appears, restrained as complefely as if the court had decided against them. If the mere asking for an injunction can through ° successive appeals be rendered equivalent for months to the granting of an injunction, though the courts in suc- $eesion deny the injunction, it will be in order for the Commissioners to take ad- Yantage of the bint. Why cannot the Commissioners apply for an injunction to Prevent the company from illegally using bverhead wires to run its cars in the city E Washington? By securing a temporary estraining order, and by successive ap- pes {f unfavorable decisions should be | endered in the lower courts, the Com- missioners could prevent the company for jonths from violating the law against the of overhead wires, just as the Com- ‘wissicners are now in effect prevented trom removing the illegal trolley obstruc- tions from the streets. Pending the de- cision of the question of the enforcement or non-enforcement of a clear, unmistak- gble law, supported by public sentiment, it is juster and more equitable that the law should be obeyed than ‘that it should be Gisobeyed. Since the law forbids the use ‘of overhead wires it is more equitable that, "pending the result of an assault upon the Jaw, the company should be compelled to use horses, than that the law should be suspended and violated every day. The ‘company can, it fs said, maintain its poles and wires until a final tribunal declares that the Commissioners may not be pre- vented from removing them. Very well. Let the poles and wires remain, but let the company be compelled to cease making illegal use of them in the interval. Use of them can be renewed, if the final tri- bunal so decides. The poles and wires as existing entities are not to be destroyed except at the command of the final tri- bunal; the law against the vse of overhead wires is a living force, to be obeyed and enforced until destreyed by the same tri- bunal. Let the poles and wires be protected until the last hope of utilizing them Is de- Let the law against their use be obeyed in the public interest until this law fs finally overthrown. Cannot the Com- missioners, if they are united and earnest in the matter, render tit for tat, restraining order for restraining order, and appeal sor appeal, to the end that flagrant and daily violations of an existing law may cease? ——_+ e+ —_ Some of the wide-awake hustlers who are watchful as to the future of East Washington have been agitating in favor cf reclamation of the marshes which now render residence along the Eastern Branch cf the Potomac not only undesirable but to some extent unhealthy. At the outset The Star, as the organ of all Washington, joined forces with the agitators, for the cause was ove in which all good citizens should be interested. Work on the Potomac flats has advanced to such a stage now that the public attention may well be directed toward the great stretch of weed-topped mud on the city’s eastern edge—a vast area xeither useful nor ornamental. Unless pepular opinion ts considerably mistaken, the reclamation of the Eastern Branch marshes nerd not be a very expensive job, so argument favorable to delay must neces- sarily be confined to desirability or other- wise, and on that phase of the subject there is testimony enough to convince even THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, likely that there would be decrease of the harmony should those who are the imme- diate representatives of capital join in commemoration with those whose brain and muscle make the capital effective. About the only rational objection that could be offered to Labor Day is its ten- dency toward segregation; its drawing of a dividing line between two classes that should as nearly as possible be one. The possible distinction would be practically eliminated if the wage-earner and he from whom the wages are immediately derived would associate themselves for the purpose of emphasizing the dignity of physical toil. The present tendency of the younger generation—just about to enter into real Uife—-is in the direction of employment where the work is largely if not entirely méntal, end the result of this tendency is seen in the disastrous overcrowding of what are termed the professions and the influx of alien skill in the trades. Let the doctrine which sets forth the honorable nature of all honest toll be spread abroad throughout the land and there will come in response to the preaching of that gospel a silent but none the less potent revolution, as the result of which the average young American will no longer deem it degra- dation to apply himself to industrial pur- suits that today are unfortunately shunned by an American-born multitude of tender years and soft hands. Let the promoters and supporters of Labor Day look ahead and plan ahead so that they may preserve the high average of industrial intelligence with which the toilers of this and other American communities are properly cred- ited. The hope of the republic and of or- ganized labor are practically one, for they are both to be found in those who will soon be the men and women of the country. Let friendly capital aid in the good work ery evening at 5 a cious ae" T puss until Beptcuber Luxury and Los Are < PERRY ’S.

One of the best evidences of Theodore Roosevelt's effectiveness as a reformer is the manner in which the ridicule which first assailed him is degenerating into help- less abuse.

Mr. Reed steadfastly refuses to get out his campaign bicycle while there is so much energy displayed in distributing political tacks*over the boulevard. It will be in order for the Washington baseball players to declare that their game has been affected by the yellowness of the drinking water here.

Hill to enjoy any monopoly of benign toleration for the ambitions of the new woman. s If the bicycle will prevent the new woman from wearing tight shoes and compressing her waist, there is not much to be sald against it.

The protests that have been filed with the Superior Highway Commission coyer a wide range of terri- tory and a great divergence cf opinion. Some of the protestants argue strenu- ously against a general extension of the city’s system of streets, while others urge with ingenious pleas and logical deductions that such extensions are the only proper ones. It 1s evident from the variety of the protests, as well as their number, that the map is not wholly satisfactory, and that Farmer Corntossel was working, so love to pick fruit.
