THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON TUESDAY. -August 6, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................-Editor. = THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent ‘Family Circulation much more the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. 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 individunl connected with the ce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = = - Strangely enough there seems to be wide- spread local impression to the effect that the action of the coroner's jury last Friday evening interposes to prevent investigation by the grand jury of the shooting of young Green. The impression is entirely without support either in law or in common sense, for it is not within the power of a coron- er’s jury to so declare itself in a verdict that a grand jury may not investigate and pass upon the acts alleged to be illegal but condoned by the coroner's jury. The few men who are hastily summoned to act as agents, in tho first instance, of the commu- nity, are required to give expression to their belief as to the cause or causes which contributed to the decease of the person or Persons whose untimely departure seems to call for official inquiry before much of the material evidence is buried. Having put itself upon record as to what it believes brought about the sudden death, the coron- er’s jury has fultilled its duty; if anything ™more remains to be done it is within the *Province of the District attorney and the grand jury. In the present instance the jury found Ernest Green was killed by a bullet fired from a revolver by Miss Eliza- beth Flagler, but as the jury did not be- Heve that Miss Flagler intended to injure the little boy, though it believed that she had fired carelessly and indifferently, it re- turned a verdict which pefmitted Miss Flagler to remain at liberty so long as the grand jury should refrain from bringing in 4 true bill No one who is acquainted with the facts in the case can possibly come to any conclusion other than that Miss Flagler in discharging a loaded pistol in close proximity to a dwelling house and @ public street and in such a manner as to destroy life committed an act which must necessarily be examined as to its legal quality by some higher judicial tribunal than a coroner’s jury; by a body that will have an opportunity for investigation of the mest searching description. Unques- tionably the circumstances of the homicide will be brought to the attention of the grand jury. Felief that the severest punishment for her carelessness which Miss Flagler may suffer is her mental dis- tress at destroying a life should have and will have no tendency to cause a different method of procedure to be followed in this case from that which would ordinarily be adopted. ———_—_ ++ ee ____. “Las Ncvedades” is a Spanish newspaper Published daily in the city of New York. It is a curicsity. It believes and declares that governmental control of the press should be cncouraged and is evidently de- lighted at the action of Captain-General Campos in the matter of Cuban insurrec- tionary news; that official having ‘an- nounced that hereafter no news of the in- surrection emanating from any other than Spanish administrative sources should be printed in the Cuban newspapers. Las Novedades says: “General Martinez Campos has not gone through a dozen campaigns for nothing. He krows that while keeping a watchful eye cn the enemy in front, he must not neglect the enemy in bis rear, who 1s seek- Z to ald the insurgents by disseminating 1) sorts of rumors injurious to the Spanish cause. Take away their occupation, Gen- eral, and put a prediock on their lips.” If the situation in Cuba were turned up- side Gown and a Cuban general were to issue such a proclamation as that which Las Novedades now applauds, it is reason- able to Imagine that the editor of Las Novedades would, either publicly or pri- vately—as policy might dictate—regard such high-handed measures as infamously tyrannical and impossible in any country laying claim to superior civilization. In another column of the same issue it is said that “General Martinez Campos hav- ing, very properly, put an embargo upon the circulation of false and sensational news in Cuba, our readers may from now on look for redoubled efforts on the part of insurgent sympathizers in the manufac- ture of insurgent victories and expeditions from these shores. The sensation mill is set to work to grind out a plentiful supply of victories and filibustering expeditions. Parallel with that warning Is the an- nouncement that reinforcements to the ex- tent of 30,000 men are being organized in Spain and will be at once sent to Cuba. If the victories which the insurgents claim have in no case really been victories, and if the filibustering expeditions which ex- cite the sneers of Las Novedades have all been bootless errands, then why does Spain continue to send large forces of well~ trained troops to the little island in which just now there is bloody contlict between tonarchy and republicanism? —_—_+-++____ When the fact Is brought to light that a Wisconsin girl caught masquerading as a man had a curling-fron in her pistol-pocket, there is little need to fear that the new woman will lose her feminine traits. = ___ In denouncing the “spy-system” the In- dignant newspapers of New York should not entirely condone the naughty criminals who constitute the temptation, —_ + e = —___.

Progress toward completion may be sure, but it Is very slow. ——_+ + +__ ‘As was announced in yesterday's Star, work has been commenced upon the widening of G street, which has become necessary by reason of the steady change that ts going on in the character of the buildings, especially from Ninth to Fif- teenth streets. The District appropriation bill for the current fiscal year provides that a sum “not exceeding $14,000 shall be expended tn widening the roadway of G@ street from 10th to lith strects to a width of fifty feet, and paving the widened part; one-half of the cost of this improve- ment shall be assessed against and col- lected from the abutting property in ac- cordance with the provisions of the law governing assessment permit work.” There does not seem to be, nor is there, any pro- vision requiring the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railroad Company to con- tribute one cent toward the cost of widen- ing @ thoroughfare that would have been quite wide enough had not that particular corporation secured possession of thé major portion of the roadway. When the —Eckington company was a petitioner before Tongress, pleading for the out-and-out do- nation of a right of way that should have cost the company a large sum of money, some reference was made {n The Star to the fact that G street was not sufficiently wide to accommodate two car tracks; and that reference caused at least one of the officers of the road to protest agaiust ony such conclusion. - Time, “who makes all things even,” has justified the statement, that G street was too narrow to suitably accommodate the public and the railroad company. Congress, however, gave but lit- tle thought to the public, and with liberal- ity that astounds practical men of affairs even today, but which will be more astounding to those who a hundred years hence study us of the nineteefith century, Presented the Eckington company with al- most everything asked for by the ¢om- Ppany’s attorneys at the Capitol Would there be any injustice in requiring the Eckington company to pay a reasonable share of the expense now being incurred by the widening of a street that would not need to be widened had the Eckington road no right of way thereon? Property-owners | on G street are in no wise responsible for the condition which must be remedied by the expenditure of public and private funds, yet the law insists that there shall be assessment against the abutting prop- erty, while the real beneficiary of all that Congress has done or is likely to do on G street escapes without being called upon to contribute a cent, ——__+ e+ ____ A considerable number of the clerks em- ployed in west-end stores want to bring about earlier closing of the establishments in which they render to seller and buyer alike valuable service. An appeal has been issued to the customers who ordinarily patronize the stores in question, asking them if they will rot help the good work along by purchasing what they tieed at some time prior to 7 p.m. each weck-day evening and 1 p.m. on holidays. The 1e- quest should meet with hearty and afirma- tive response. Elsewhere in this city and in other cities it has been found not only possible but profitable to close nearly all of the stores at least an“hour earlier than the hour named in this particular request, It is just as easy for the buyer to get what is neeMed some time during the day as it is to postpone dealing until night. That any of the merchants will oppose the peti- n of their clerks is extremely improbable, for the wideawake man of business knows quite well how many are the advantages to be derived from a lessening of the number of working hours and the physical better- ment of employes. A shorter working-day means a diminution in the operating ex- Benses, while increased oppottunity for recreation surely results in a greater quan- tity of that vigor which those who pay wages naturally delight to control. Some of the biggest firms in Washington have given the early-closing idea a Icng «rial; those who have had the most experi2nce with it are the strongest advocates in favor of its extension; it is humane and it ts financially encouraging. : —_ ++___ There is no reason to fear that the “ploomer” will become a universal feminine garment.
