THE EVENING STAR has a regular amd permanent Family Circulation much more ihan the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In 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, bi imply to THE STAR, or to the Editor. or Busiue: Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = - Associate Justice Cole of the Sypreme Court of the District of Columbia has de- cided that he cannot interfere with the prosecution as nuisances of the poles and wires illegally maintained on New York avenue’ by the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company and that they may be removed by the District Commis- sioners whenever the Commissioners feel in- clined to remove them. Justice Cole’s con- clusion—published in full elsewhere in The Star—that the poles end wires may be prosecuted under the ordinances as illegal obstructions is not surprising, but the ex- pression of an opinion to the effect that it would probably be well té delay removing the poles until that indefinite date in the remote future when the company will an- nounce that it is ready to substitute for the trolley some other motive power than horses was cntirely unexpected. If the Judge’s suggestion should be followed by the Commissioners the authorities would be placed in the position occupied by the Maine politician in respect to the Maine liquor law, wko announced himself as “in favor of the law, but agin its enforcement.” Justice Cole states clearly, however, that the extent of his judicial action is to sus- tain the ordinance and the prosecution, and to refuse the habeas corpus, and that the manner of enforcing the law is in the sound judgment of the Commissioners, over which “this court has no control in a habeas corpus proceeding.” The responsibility -of enforcing the law or of permitting it to be defeated on various pretexts is placed solely upon the Commissioners. The argument that because Congress in @ general way has not favored the use of horses as street railway motors, therefore the trolley, which Congress has directly and specifically condemned and made il- legal within the city limits, should be il- legally maintained, until some other motor than horses is provided as a substitute, is cleanly untenable. We ure not io violate the expressed will of Congress, crystallized into Jaw, on the ground of humoring Con- gress's imagined but unexpressed wishes. That Congress has ceased to smile upon propositions to operate street railroads by horse-power is undoubtedly true, put there is not or record any specific instance whert Congress even intimated that horses might not take the place of the overhead-trolley on New Yofk avenue; whereas on the statute beoks is unmistakable testimony to the desire of Congress to drive the trol- ley beyond the city limits. It is, there- fore, straining the argument almost to the point of fracture to claim that because Congress insisted upon an un- derground mechanical mofor on the Washington and Georgetown and Metro- politan roads therefore the Eckington com- pany should not use or be compelled to use horses on New York avenue. Several of the city roads use-horses. The Eckington {itself substituted horses for its storage battery on G street. If the road to save money can palm off horses on the public in the place of a superior motor, may not the public require that a legal motor, even horses, be substituted for the illegal and objectionable trolley? Had the Eckington company any desire to obey the law it would long ago have been engaged in equipping its New York avenue line with @ system similar.to that used within the city by the Rock Creek company—whereby overhead trolley-cars beyond the limits are run by underground-trolley within the city. Defiant inaction has placed the Eckington company beyond the pale of such maudlin Mercy as some people seem inclined to shower upon it. Undeserving of public or private consideration, its obstructive and filegally-maintained poles and wires should be removed as speedily as possible; the demands of its patrons will either compel service as good as the company has ever given or else encourage competition. The real point at issue is whether Jaw shall prevail and the trolley be moved befcre the next session of Congress. The farce of sustaining the law and at the same time defeating it by delaying indefi- nitely its enforcement has already gone too far to suit public sentiment. The munici- pal government can probably by daily prosecutions of the kind that Judge Cole has sustained bring the corporation to terms and effect an agreement with it for the removal of the illegal poles and wires and the substitution of some legal motor, the kind being comparatively immate-tial, and to be determined by the corporation itself. In one way or another the law should be enforced. ———_+ «+ ___ Minister Denby seems to have done all that could reasonably be expected of him as to the maltreatment of American mis- sionaries in China. His protest was strong enough in terms, and it was not delayed; two most important points In diplomatic ecrrespondence. That China will decline te make all possible reparation is not at all likely, but unless Celestial traditions are smashed there will be many efforts to re- tard a settlement. The State Department will have to keep hammering away at the irresponsibly ponsible officials through whose supineness, or, perhaps, active con- nivance the horrifying outrages took place. There cannot be too much of vigor or too much of insistence in this matter by the United States. —____ e+ ____ The far-seeing populist will depend mere on his agricultural resources this summer than on the vote crop. ——__ + e+ —_—___ The Chinese are terrific fighters when there isn't any war. + ¢ = -—___ Expressions of public opinion as to the action of the@oroner’s jury in the Flagler- Green case naturally bring to the surface the recommendations made by Dr. Wood- ward, now health officer, while he held the Position of coroner. Rarely indeed does an official insist that his office shall be abol- ished, but that ts precisely what Dr. Wood- ward did. In a report to the District Com- missioners the doctor said: “I would suggest that the office of cor- oner be abolished and in its stead be cre. ated the office of medical examiner, whose duty it shall be to investigate, from a med- ical standpoint, such cases as are now in- vestigated by the health officer and the coroner. Such deaths as are found by the medical eXaminer to be due to other than natural causes should be certified at once to the chief of police for investigation and reported to the district attorney. Should the district attorney find as the result of the police investigation that the circum- stances requir it, he should present the case to the grand jury at once and they should return the indictment upon which the accused is tried. Much needless ex- pen and y would thus be avoided.” There will be general agreement with the conclusion reached by the doctor tn the re- Port In question that the coroner's jury does Not serve any good purpose, and most peo- ple—coroners, of course, excepted—will agree with Dr. Woodward that the better pian would be to have the evidence given before @ police court Judge witheut any charge be- the ve- ing entered, just as it is at present given before the coroner’s jury. The judge could then hold for the grand jury anyone who might be implicated by the evidence. But the abolition of the present system cannot be brought about without legislation and legislation is ngtoriously slow. Present exertion should therefore be to the end that all possible improvement of the ancient system be brought about. A material bet- terment would be a radical change in the Manner of summoning persons for service as jurors. Selection is now entirety with one or two policemen, who may summon any kind of a jury they desire. That there are professional jurors is frequently alleged, and some of them do not even wait to be notified; announcement of a tragedy causes them to hurry to the sixth precinct sta- tion—where the inquests are generally held—there to volunteer their services. Surely a better method than that can be de- vised by the authorities. — +2 _—____ Washington will ask the Fifty-fourth Congress to do many much-needed things for the national capital. The tax-payers of the Distriet of Columbia have contrib- uted with righteously-unwilling liberality to the end that this city may be supremely beautiful and healthful and desirable as a Place of residence. A larger sum of money than any ever before raised by local taxa- tion stands to the credit of the District in the treasury and Congress will be request- ed to disburse that money under the terms of the congressionally-made agreement by which the national capital is perforce gov- erned. Among the matters of real import- ance to which the attention of Congress will be directed are the tree-planting and tree-preserving propositions of the superin- tendent of parking, whose annual report received exclusive publication in yester- day's Star. Superintendent Lanham re- peats the appeal of former years, and it is to be hoped that this time the cry will be heard. The petition resolves itself into a request for more money—not for very much money. because the entire estimate con- tained in the report calls only for $40,000— but for money enough to furnish protection from the ravages of human beings, ani- mals and insects, and to repair the damage done by storms, to the more than seventy- five thousand shade trees which usefully adorn the city’s streets and avenues. The request is entirely reasonable and will doubtless be acceded to by Congress if the matter is only properly. presented to the appropriate anl appropriating committees. ——_--+ e = —_—_ Song is resporsible for the extremes of soothing calm and bicod-stirring, blood- shedding excitement. Who can tell how much of a part was played in the late civil war by the songs that originated in the brain of George F. Root, who died yester- day. Millions of men kave chanted his “Tramp, tramp; tramp, the Boys are Marching; thousands went to participa- tion in the great struggle through the per- svesive influences of “Rally ‘round the Flag, Boys;” people of all lands have sung “Just Before the Battle, Mother;’ while the heart-tcuching pathos of “The Vacant Chair” Fas been felt in countless homes. Thirty years have elapsed since Lee sur- rendered to Grant at Appomattox, but the words and melodies of these aids to patri- otism are as popular as they ever were; less frequently sung, perhaps, but unques- tiored favorites still. —____+ + ____ One” hundred and one men were today employed upon the city post-office building.
