4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY................Suly 20, 1895. CROSBY 8S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. (Im 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 purpese. President Griswold of the Washington ard Anacostia R.R. Co. has acceded to the demands made by his employes, and the strike, which has had the road tied up for some time, is successful. The -result of this local struggle 1s In no sense surptis- ing to those who have watched its mcep- tion, growth and conclusion. Taken as a whole, the Anacostia strike was a model: In the first place, the strikers had a real gilevance. Then, they gave the company fair opportunity to amend the oppressive conditions; no step was taken without care- ful consideration, and in all matters the company was deliberately warned as to the results which would follow disregard of the Petition so respectfally submitted by the overworked and underpaid. The company having ignored the prayer, the drivers of the ancient “bob-tails’ geased for a time to labor and the road was, in modern phrase, “tied up.” Just then it would have been an easy thing for the strikers them- selves to knock the strike on the head. If the drivers had followed the example set in many other strikes~elsewhere the cause as will as the cars would bave been wrecked. But there was no violence; nor, indeed, was any one of the strikers heard to utter a threat; on the part of the men all things were done-decently and in order. Strikers themselves saw to it that the com- pany’s property was undamaged, which, by the way, was a_good deal more than the company ever did for the strikers. From the outset, public optnion and public sym- pathy were with the drivers. This condi- tion was evidenced by the mass meetings held by residents of Anacostia and the vi- cinity; meetings in which it was made plain that If there vas any law breaking in the case justifying an appeal to the courts, it was attributable to the corporaticn and not to the strikers. In active partnership with the great bulk of the people, the Anacostia strikers were bound to win, for without the public patronage the Anacostia com- pany could not do business. There was nothing left for the company to do but to get into accord with its patrons, and as its patrons were indubitably on record as favoring the contentions of the strikers, the company had perforce to harmonize with these employes with whom It need never have quarreled. There can be no question as to which Is the better way to manage a strike in the interest of the strikers, Tere 1s, of course, a right way and a wrong way. The Anacostia way is the right way. —_—__ e = —-___ It may be considered a smart thing, to eride sweepingly the official weather pre- dictions simply because it was once the fash- fon to believe that such prophecies were inevitably wrong, but it is unfortunate that this tendency exists at a time when the weather prediction service of the country is in such a high state of efficiency. All manner of fun has been poked at the bu- reau on account of the unhappy slip that ‘was made in forecasting the weather on the Fourth of July, and it would be hard if the public could not have its laugh over the occasional amusing blunders of the forecaster. But serious assaults upon the bureau based upon such occurrences are unjust. One critic says: “The present fore- casters have demonstrated that it is prac- tically impoxsible to give accurate weather warnings. Still worse, they bring loss and injury by predictions that are invariably proven absolutely untrue.” The official forecaster who does not succeed in mak- ing accurately eighty per cent of his pre- dictions is considered today as a pretty poor stick at the business. Eighty-five per cent is more often obtained, and this, too, for the entire country, and not for New York or Washington or Squeedunk alone. Three million square miles of territory are covered by the official forecasts, twice each day, and over eighty per cent of the prognostications are proven by subsequent event to be warranted. These verifications are made, not alone in the matter of actual rain or shine, but the shades of tempera- ture and moisture, and the finest discrimt- nations are drawn to ensure a rigid inspec- tion of the forecasts. The Weather Bureau will never be able to satisfy the entire pop- ulation of the country, for the reason that it will never be possible to make the fore- casts absolutely perfect. But if it improves @uring the next decade as rapidly as it has during the last one there ig every rea- gon to belleve that its honest critics will be few in number and may entirely Gisappear. The Weather Bureau annually saves many times its cost in the amount of property that is kept from destruction on the lakes and seas and on the plains by the warnings that are given by the forecasters, and it {s a pity if the good done In that way cernot be recognized and commended, even if a few picnic parties did have their In- @ependence Day holiday spoiled by a little unpredicted rain. ——_+ oo If the German suspicions as to the purity of American food products shall continue to find new objects of attack, it is to be feared that many cherished Institutions of this country may be undermined. The latest Teutonic aversion is’ the American dried apple, that choice Ingredient of the toothsome Connecticut breakfast-pie. Now the keen German eye has detected some fresh adulteration, and it {s possible that @ new position may be provided under the Kaiser's administration, namely, inspector of dried apples. 6 Perhaps the contractors on the new post office are holding back a scientific discov- ery by which they propose to prove when the date for the completion of their work arrives, that this calendar on which we have been accustomed to rely is all wrong. ——__+ e+—____ It is somewhat amusing to note New York's specious arguinents to the effect that to be too good is altogether wicked. They are paradoxes worthy of some of the century's most famous epigrammatists. ——___+- Any kind of “wire-pulling™ ts bad enough but trolley-wire-pulling in courts or Con- gress or the municipal government ts about the most objectionable specimen of the whole species. oe And now that the outward appearance of strife is over it may be that the manage- ment of the Washington and Anacostia Company will turn its attention to the work of modernizing !ts equipment. It ts intimated that better accommodations will be provided for patrons if the business Justifies it. That is an old-fogy proposition. Why not provide the better accommod tlors and so encourage the growth of busi- ness? Qid-time methods have worked the company a great deal of Injury; it needs to open its eyes and live at least in the pres- ent, with its gaze directed toward the tutu: Possessed of a valuable charter, the company has never made any appar- ent effort to attract the thousands who would undoubtedly patronize the Anacostia cars if there was any comfort at all to be derived from such an experience. It is safe to aver that mo sane man or woman ever traveled on an Anacostia cer for pleasure; | nothing leas than genuire necessity would compel any well-balanced person to get into one of those slightly-exaggerated soap boxes on wheels which forlorn-looking borses—one horse to each box—have drag- ged unwillingly all the way from Anacostia to the business center of the city and back again. Why does not the company awaken to the fact that the twentieth century is near at hand? Does not the management see that traffic expansion is utterly impos- sible so long as the present equipment is in use? Why not try the experiment of roomy, well-built, modern cars, run either by horse power ar by some one of the many economical and satisfactory motive forces now beginning to be common; cars on which the driver will not also have to be conductor? Of course, this change of plan would call for the expenditure of cash, but inasmuch as it would almost surely re- sult in much more of profit than can pos- eibly be made in the bob-tail way, it would seem as though no argument were neces- sary to work such a change as that sug- gested. —____+ +2 _____ The community is willing to wait a few days to see what comes of the Police Court Proceedings against the trolley, but it is not hoodwinked into any impression that resort to that court is anything efse than a voluntary submission by the Commission- ers to an injunction against them which Judge Bingham refused to grant. The Eckington Company sought to re- strain the Commissioners- from removiag the Illegal poles and wires except with the sanction of some court. Judge Bingham re- fused to forbid them to remove the poles and wires in any way that they saw fit, on the ground that the rallway was seeking protection in lawlessness, did not come into a court of equity with clean hands, and had no standing to ask anything of such a court. Though told by the court that they are not restrained, the Commissioners treat themselves as restrained, and, instead of abating the nuisance directly, they have re- course to the courts, as the Eckington rail: way insisted they should. It has been printed in a local newspaper that Judge Bingham was heard to remark the day after ha,threw the railway com- peny out of court that had he failed to know of the Commissioners’ purpose not to tear down the trolley he would have felt compelled to refuse to act ashe had. Judge Bingham announced from the bench in the opinion printed in The Star that he threw the railroad out of court because it did not appear with clean hands. The imputation of this statement concerning him is that he in fact denied the request for an injunc- tion because there was no need of it, and that if there had been any danger of the Commissioners doing what he was asked to restrain them from doing he would have found that the railway’s bande were per- fectly clean, and have granted the injunc- tion. It is inconceivable that Judge Bing- ham could have made any such remark. If the Commissioners are to be enjoined by anything but their own fears from per- forming thelr duty against the illegal trol- ley, the injunction must issue formally and publicly from the bench. No restraint de- nied in court can be granted in effect through an alleged conversation in a street- car or on the sidewalk. Responsibility for failure to enforce the law, to remove street obstructions, and to prevent the illegal use of overhead wires must rest upon the Com- missioners, unlesg and until some court, having jurisdiction, formally enjoins them from performing their duty. It is not be- Meved that any court will ever thus enjoin them. +0 With the coming of the watermelon—and the watermelon has been coming for some time—there is large accession to those joys which have. their origin in gastronomic ex- ercise. Blessed as this portion of the country is with almost countless varieties of the earth’s fruits, it is questionable whether any of the large or small edibles of the non-essential sort are more popular than the watermelon—the good watermelon. Now, to be theroughly good a watermelon must be just ripe—two or three days more or less make all the difference in the quality—and quite cold. In the city there are, of course, none of those delightful springs where pure water, clear as crystal and cold as water for drinking ever should be, Is available, so the melon-eater must be content with ice ag a cooling substitute. When there is conjunction of a healthy appetite and a frigid melon that gives forth cracking sourds when gently pressed, then for a season ensues happiness which takes no note of time and is oblivious to the world and all its carking care. Unripe watermelon or over-ripe watermelon or watermelon that has been severed from the vine for many days wil] cause trouble in the average stomach and may even be pro- Hfic of serious results, but the watermelon as Washington ordinarily knows it—for the very best is to be found in our markets— is, when properly treated, palatable and healthful. People who know not this kind of watermelon should come to Washington and bury their visages in the rubicund depths of lusciousness itself. It is perhaps properly fashionable in public places to convey the watermelon to the mouth with fork or a spoon, and under stress of cir- cumstances the use of a knife may not be a misdemeanor, but it is not possible to scund the deepest depths of melon-eating felicity if there be intervention of an in- strument. —___ + «______ Scientists who are hired for that very purpose have certified egain and again, with wearisome Iteration, as to the com- plete harmlessness and in eome instances to the healthful quality of those electric shocks which startled individudls so fre- quently receive through the trolley-wire agency. Soms of the certificates of the trolley attorneys must be held responsible for a rather common impression that the capitalists who have equipped trolley roads are really public benefactors and that not the least of their beneficence is that which provides the wayfaring man or the wan- dering horse or cow with delightful sur- prises in «he shape of gratuitous electrical treatment. Once in awhile, however, an unfortunate human being, who up to the time of wire-contact is supposed to be in admirable health, persists in dying from the shock. This was so day before yester- day when Miss Katie Valentine of Nor- walk, Conn.—a robust, s!xteen-year-old girl—touched a telephone wire which had crossed a trolley wire. The telephone wire was lying in the grass and was practically invisible to the casual pedestrian. The re- mains of Miss Valentine will be buried tomorrow. About Morday or Tuesday we may expect the appearance of lengthy papers on electricity in which men of great learning will prove by every theory known to humankind how utterly impossible It is for the trolley current to seriously damage the physical orgenism of any man, woman or child who 1s not already at death’s door. ————<~+2+—__.

THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 20, THE WEEK. Religious gatherings have overshadowed even political debates for some days past, a very large proportion of public atten- tion being devoted to the Christian En- deavor convention in Boston, which was attended by quite 60,000 delegates, and to the Baptist Young People’s Union of America, which is in session in Baltimore and at the opening services of which con- vention more than 20,000 persons were present. Politically the matters of great- est interest have been the eight days’ de- bate between Roswell G. Horr and W. H. Harvey at Chicago, the free silver speech of Senator Morgan and the allegations— since authoritatively denied—that Benjamin Harrison was not a candidate for presi- dential renomination. Industrial conditions have, as a general thing, improved stead- fly; in many places there have been vol- untary increases of wages and in some lines of business it has been found neces- sary to work overtime; an exceptional con- dition is that at Ishpeming, Mich., where 000 iron miners are out on a strike. Crop reports are decidedly pleasing, heavy rains in the west making it tolerably certain that the fruits of the earth will be amply sufficient; the regular effort to “bear” the each crop proceeds as usual, but reliable fer formation from Delaware is to the effect that the peach orchards of that state will turn out at least 1,500,000 baskets. Affirma- tive material for criminal statistics has been steadily provided every day, the per- centagé of murders and suicides having been considerably above normal for the past five or six days. Counterfeiters have been unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of detcctives in Chicago and in New York, while Mrs. Belle Farrell, who was tried at La Plata, Md., for the murder of her husband, was acquitted. In the fed- eral court at Keokuk, Iowa, E. R. Cassett, ex-state senator and the Bella Bank wrecker, was sentenced to nine years in the penitentiary for financial faithlessness. ‘The negro Collins who shot Sttdent Ohl at Princeton has been convicted of murder. Lightning did consfderable damage in southern Maryland, wrecking property and killing one man near Cape Charles, After suffering many accidents of sufficfent im- portance to several times delay speed trials, the torpedo boat Ericsson started out once more to make a record; a steam- pipe burst and seriously scalded five men. Foreign. Much to the surprise of conservatives, liberals and unionists alike, the general election throughout Great Britain—conse- quent upon the resignation of the Rose- bery , ministry—promises to give the con- servative party a long lease of govern- mental power. Up to last night the con- servatives have elected 270 members, the liberal-unionists,48; the straightout liberals, 83; the anti-Parnellites, 43, dnd the Par- nellites, 6; unionists gains, 69; liberal gains, 13. These returns are a little less favorable to the unfonists (anti-home rulers) than the earlier figures. When John Morley, who was chief secretary for Ireland under Rose- bery, was defeated at Newcastle-on-Tyne, the Hberals thought everything was gone, but the success of ex-Home Secretary As- quith in East Fifeshire, and of Sir T. D. Carmichael in Mr. Gladstone's old district in Midlothian, encouraged the liberals very much and was a corresponding d'sappoint- ment to the conservatives. Some of the many Americans in Europe have been en- joying themselves, the London Presbyter- jan Union having given a completely suc- cessful complimentary reception to 100 American Presbyterians. Other Americans have had trouble, as for instance: Geof- frey A. Perkins, who has been charged at Bow stréetewith obtaining money under false preteases; Messrs. Wing and Dwight, who are jailed in Paris for selling valueless American railroad bonds, and Clarence Sedgwick of New York, who while suffering from over-induigence in strong drink, com- mitted suicide in Paris. That old eastern question is Ukely to come up again and to raise more trouble because of the assas- sination of M. Stambouloff, ex-premier of Bulgaria, who was brutally done to death on a street in Sofia. Eastern conditions, so far as the peace of Europe is concerned, have not been improved by the fact that 5,000 Macedonian insurgents defeat- ed a strong body of Turkish troops in the Balkans, killing 600 of the Turks. In Paris the only event of note was an a entirely orderly celebration of the fall of the Bastile. Spain is very much excited over the Cuban rebellion, and, in spite of the fact that the Spanish authorities have insisted that the rebellion did not amount to anytuing, there is steady shipment cf troops ané munitions of war; in an engage- ment with the so-called rebels General Santocildes of the Spanish army was killed, and the safety of Captain-General Santos was endangered; successful retreat was, however, made; yellow fever is working great havoe among the Spanish troops on the island, while heavy rains have hin- dered anything like effective movement against the Insurgents; filibustering is quite active. The Island of Formosa having been ceded to Japan an endeavor ts now ;being made to get possession of the prop- erty; possession is, however, being dis- puted by the Chinese inhabitants of the Island, who, led by the notorious Black Flags, are making things very uncomforta- ble for the Japanese. A temporary truce has been patched up between Bolivia and Peru, but the action of the Bolivians who stormed the Peruvian legation at La Paz is indicative of renewed trouble. At To- ronto the American Congress of Religion and Education@was in session, the congress being composed of 5,000 delegates. Notable deaths abroad were those of Charles Emanuel Schenck, noted in Swiss politics, whose death resulted from a runaway ac- cident, and the Marquis of Exeter, who died in London. In the District. After a suspension of travel on the Ana- costa street rairoad for about two weeks, owing to a strike of the employes, the de- mands of the men were compHed with and the running of the cars was resumed. Mys- tery still surrounds the fate of Rev. Dana Davenport, son of the rector of the Episco- pal Church in Anacostia, who disappeared from his home in Harrisonville, Baltimore county, Maryland, Arthur Wells, a young man, committed suicide by shooting. Action was begun in the Police Court by the Com- missioners against the Eckington railroad for street obstruction in maintaining over- head wires on New York avenue. Appoint- ments of the public school teachers for the ensuing year were announced. Bishop Paret has approved the selection of a site for the building for the Hearst School for Girls on the grounds of the Episcopal Ca- thedral foundation; the work of excavation will be begun next month. James Travers, colored, was executed in the District jail for the murder of his-mistress, Lena Gross. Ella Miller, a young whtte girl, committed suicide by jumping from the Anacostia bridge. “What's the matter?" asked the police- man, “haven't you any place to go?” “Any place ter go!” replied Meandering Mike, with contempt. “I’ve got the whole United States before me. I've got so many places ter go to dat it’s worryin’ me dizzy makin’ up me mind which way ter start.” The Dog Catcher’s Haul.
