6 THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY sles 1895-TEN PAGES. ———— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY... July 24, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES ++. Editor, THE EVENING STAR hasa 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. C7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shonld not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- mentn, according to tenor or purpose. Fire early this morning wrought totat destruction of the Young Men's Christian Associatien building on New York avenue, therefore one of the most active institu- tions for good in the national capital is for a brief seascn in a state of paralysis. Between the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation and paralysis there {s not, however, any affinity, so it is as certain as any- thing mundane can be that within a few hours, or days at most, the Washington branch of a great religious and educa- tional organization will be working with More of vigor than has even here been displayed in times past. For awhile the association's offices and class rooms and other necessary appurtenances will be in temporary quarters, but the logical se- Quence of the conflagration of today !s a new building in which ample provision will be made for carrying on successfully the great work of the Young Men's Christian Association. For some time past there has been planning and praying and subse ing to the end that a more suitable struc- ture might be secured as scon as possible the burning of the old building hastens the contemplated improvement. That the improvement may be sufficiently compre- hensive it is essential that friends of the association should come forward as speed- ily as possible with cash contributions large enough in the aggregate to give the asso- ciation such a building as it ought to have in what is in many respects the most im- portant community in the United States. In a general way there ls some sort of un- derstanding as to the character of the work which has been and is being done ty the association, but only comparatively few have anything like a commensurate idea of the great good that has been ac- complished among the youth of the city by the persistently-active officers and mem- bers of the local branch. Operated with undenominational breadth, the association has become a semi-public affair. Thousands of young men have been encouraged to- ward noble manhood by this one subdivis- fon of the association. Nor has the asso- ciation neglected the physical welfare of those who joined themselves unto it; a fact freely testified to by the records of amateur athletics hereabouts. A body more practically influential for good than ig the Young Men's Christian Association does not exist. It deserves enthusiastic encouragement, and this is the time to do the encourag:ng. —- +0 One of those fenders which the street-car companies have always insisted were en- tirely urmecessary saved a life yesterday evening. In accordance with its generally law-defying methods, the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company has been rupning its trelley cars on New York avenue at rates of speed far in excess of the limit stated by law. Unavailing com- plaints have been made of this practice. Last night a west-bound car ran down a little boy who was crossing the street in the ection of home. Testimony as to the speed of the car is to the effect that it was running fourteen or fifteen miles an hour, at least. The little one was picked up by the fender and was carried safely over the considerable distance traversed by the car before that combination of vehicle and projectile could be stopped. But for the ferder the child would surely have been killed. The occurrence directs attention to the value of fenders on mechanically-propelled street cars, but, more than that, it empha- sizes the necessity for police vigilance as to car-speed on New York avenue. To say that the policemen on duty in the vicinity of that thoroughfare do not know that the Jaw has be2n violated by almost every mo- torman many times each day would be to charge ignorance such as no one who knows the police force thinks’ that body capable of. Until recently the police force in New York city was run mainly for the benefit of these persons who had what was termed political “pull.” It surely cannot be that any sort of a “pull” would amount to anything with this city’s guardians of the peace. —_—_ + e+ —___ There does not seem to be any good reason why the District Commissioners, in making contracts for the construction of District buildings, should not Insert in the contracts a provision which will make it certain that the contractor will pay to those whom he employs upon the job the maximum rate of wages prevailing in this city at the time the contract is made. The proposition that this be done comes from the Federation of Labor, and in view of the fact that there has been more or less of inferior work done on school buildings in recent years there may properly be much public interest in the amendment behind which are strong forces. Washing- ton does not want any inferior cbulldings, whether private or public. With the private structures, so long as they conform to regulations, the District authorities have practically little to do; as to public buiidings they have all the say. Keen competition has more than once re- sulted in failure on the part of the District to secure anything like its money’s worth; prcof that mere cheapness is not always true economy. Material of a certain qual- ity can be had by all contractors who can pay for it for about one price; it should be so also with labor. Sound material and the best labor being stipulated in the agree- ment, the successful bidder will be the con- tractor who Is going to be satistied with the smallest amount of profit. — + e+ ____ Thomas B. Reed is not vociferous in ral- lying his presidential cohorts at the pres- ent time. He has many admirers, how- ever, who believe that he will be fully equal to the task of counting a quorum when the emergency arises, ———_+ ++ ___ President Cleveland struck the nail on the head when In his tndorsement on the ap- plication of Thomas J. Taylor for commu- taticn of sentence he wrote: “This presents another illustration of the adv ation of murder into de grees in the District of Columbia, as has been done with good results in some of the states.” The Star has struck that same nail directly and heavily more than once, It did so most recently in editorially dis- cussing the popular effort for the commuta- tlon which came yesterday. The Star then said: “The need of a charge in the criminal law of the District which will recognize qifferent degrees of murder with corre- spondingly varying punishments, is em- phasized by the popular movement for the commutation of sentence in the Taylor case. In this case the ne'ghbors of the convicted man, who would be best ac- quainted with any extenuating circum- sta in the tragedy, contend most stly that the killing is not one which ves to be punished by the infliction of death penalty, and thousands of signa- been attached to a petition that the tures have the President in the exercise of the par- doning power do what the jury could not do, under the law, and reduce the penalty until it is adequate to the offense. As a rule when the alternative is presented to a Jury of convicting and hanging a man for murder or acquitting him, the case not being such as to adm't of a verdict of manslaughter, any doubt ts solved in favor of the accused, and an acquittal possibly injurious to the community follows. But the doubt may be solved wrongfully against the prisoner, and a man hanged who merits some punishment beyond that for manslaughter, but does not deserve the death penalty. Evil results are threatened in either case, and beyond all question the Jury should be perm'tted to make a nicer, more accurate and more equitable adjust- ment of the punishment to the offense than the existing law permits.” President Cleveland having based the commutation of Taylor's sentence on this Proposition, there is not likely to be any difficulty in securing his co-operation in an effort to secure such statutory amend- ment as may be needed to accomplish the desirable reform. The matter is one of considerable importance and, although Con- gress will not be in session for several months yet, it 1s not too early to plan a campaign which shall result in the much- needed legislation. —_——_ + > ____ The new woman will please take note of the fact that a Boston millionaire has married his cook. The millionaire in ques- tion is three-score years of age and a resi- dent of that select portion of Boston known as the Back Bay; the bride is a re- cent Importation from the Emerald Isle and has experienced just about half as many summcrs and winters as has the groom. Of course Boston society is very much shocked over the event, but the hap- pening will not be profitless to the coun- try at large if it convinces the new woman that the man who wants a wife is often an extremely-practical sort of a being who inclines to the belief that a woman who possesses health and beauty, as the lucky cook referred to seems to be blessed with, and who has well-developed taJent as a feeder of hungry mortality should have marital preference. The world will reck little of bloomers and will even welcome the new woman Into politics {f she will only keep In close touch with the needs of the household and especially of the house- hold’s tyrant—the old-fashioned man. ——ee The suggestion for a new cap as a part of the naval uniform, should-be submitted to Commodore Sicard, who may entertain prejudices as to headgear similar to those which {mmortalized him In connection with footgear.

Irritating. It is, we know, by means of woe That human beings wiser grow; But hard it is to realize That grief’s a blessing in disguise, When friends exclaim in sweet surprise. “We told you so! We told you so!” Easy to Be Grent. “I yearn to do great things,” said Mr. Doless, as he sat on the front stoop and gazed at the stars. “What kind of great things?” asked his wife a little sharply. “I long to be a benefit to my fellow man. To so conduct myself as to earn the respect and esteem of humanity.” “Oh, that’s easy.” “How'll I go about it?” “Order a new garbage can tomorrow—we need it—and see that the collector visits It regularly.” The Hotel Couch.
