2 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1895-TEN PAGES. EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY. -August 13, 1805. THE CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulntion of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. t7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal nbsence, 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 purpose. The interesting explanations and im- Portant promises of President Newbold in behalf of the E€kington and Pelt line rail- ways, as published exclusively in The Star, have the merit. of being unconditional. ‘They do not call for the surrendet of any anti-trolley advantage now possessed by the city, nor for any inactivity in enforcing the law. The Commissioners can still cut down the illegal poles just as soon as they please. The Commissioners can and ought te keep up the daily police-court proseeu- tions of the poles, of the kind which Judge Cole has sustained. The tendency of this course will be to hasten the conversion of verbal pledges-into formal binding action. Only these who have in good faith earnest- ly and fearlessly fought the trolley ‘or all the years during which it has threatened Washington can appreciate the satisfac- tion with which the announcement of the head of the trolley corporation is received that it abandons lis designs upon Wash- ington, promises to modernize the motive power and transportation methods on its local lines, and meets the suspicion that these assuginces are merely an expedient to secure delay by stating that means to Make the changes and Improvements are available without waiting for Congress to permit the corporation to issue bonds, and that words will speedily crystallize into acts. The Star is plecsed to belleve that Presi- dent Newbold is entirely sincere, gnd that he will not permit himself to he Stultified and his promises falsified. A few weeks will, it is declared, settle the matter defi- nitely. Meanwhile no obstacle ‘s interposed to the crusade against the poles. Or the contrary, the announcements of President Newtold give strong encouragement to those who favor energetic enforcement of the law, for they Indicate that there fs no danger in any event of even a temporary discontinuance of service on the Eckington road, and that a satisfactory substitute for the removed trolley will be supplied by men who have the ready means, the legal authority, and, it is claimed, the disposition to make the necessary changes at o1ce. —_-+ e + ____ In many places in Europe and In the United States the erganizations of jour- nreymen bakers are engaged in active en- deavor to bring about improvement in the saritary conditions of bake shops. It is stated by men who ought to know what they are talking about that in some bak- ers’ establishments there is so much of filth that the food qualities of the bread are impaired, and in seme instances give Place to anti-hygienic dangers such us would not be tolerated for one hour were the facts made known to the public. Tes- timony gathered by Baltimoreans who are interested in this variety of reform is de- cldedly alarming, and must surely result in the enactment of whatever legislation is needed to render impcssible the exist- ence of a state of affairs now permitted by the inattention of officials and the shertcomings of municipal regulations. That Washington bake shops are much more cleanly than most of the shops in other cities has been insisted upon by thcse who are on terms of intimacy with the subject, but perhaps it would be just as well for the health officer to see that the premises used by bakers and the bakers themselves while at work are cleanly to such a degree as to be beyond the criti- elsm of the fastidious. Elsewhere there have been mass meetings to protest against bake shop dirt; here there is not likely to be any necessity for public agitation or ex- treme action by the authorities whose duty it is to watch over the physical wel- fure of the residents of the District of Columbia. But the matter is worthy of some attention. —-- + e+ Comparisons are sometimes odious, but it is frequently possible to learn something from them. Americans may properly pride themselves upon the speedy, yet thorough manner in which their work is generally done, but in matters of great importance we are frequently much too slow. It would be a good thing for the United States if we would so rearrange our congressional elections and the commencement of -on- gressional sessions as to give those who are truly the people's representatives op- portunity for timely legislation upon im- portant subjects. Only a few days have passed away since the last member of the new English parliament was elected; yesterday the House of Commons assem- bled and proceeded at once to the transac- tion of business. In this country we elect members of Congress in November and then shut them ovt of their legislative privi- leges for thirteen months thereafter. In Tations to which we may at times con- temptuously apply the term “old fogy,” this extreme deliberation would not seem 60 strange, but it is difficult to find ex- euse for such extraordinary delay when Wwe contemplate what is generally believed to be the American character. 2 = It bes been suggested that if the Secre- tary of the Navy fs looking for an appro- priate name to give the ter” ship of the new Kearsarge, he pick up none better than “Paul Jones.” Sister Paul will not do. But are all ships feminine? —_ + ee —__ The Chinamen should be taught to feel scmething of the respect for an American citizen that he has for a japanese. —_— — + ++ ____ Heir to a record of contemptuous disre- gard of the public, of inconsiderate treat- ment of its employes and of what has been im many respects the worst parody on street railroad management ever seen In a y, the company which has absorbed the Belt and the Eckington roads must not be surprised to find that it has strong public prejudice and suspicion to overcome before it can establish rela- tions of confidence and mutual regard with this community. In view of the promises made in behalf of the consolidated com- pauies it is reasonable to imagine that there is soon to come so much of better- ment in the operation of the Belt and Eck- ington roads that those lines will cease to be the nuisances which they have so long been and will take rank with the Washing- ton and Georgetown and Metropolitan com- panies, both of which are now engaged in doing everything that rational people could ask them to do. The promise of a moderp motor and restoration of the Belt line we alr have, but there must be other im- provements befure Washington will be wholly atisfied with the rehabilitated roads, There must be a satisfactory and non-confusing transfer system, by means ef which passengers shall receive the maxi- mum of through transportation for the minimum of cost, and it must be insisted upon that there shall be ample shelter from atmospheric extremes at each of the trans- fer points where passengers are required to leave one car for the purpose of trans- ferring to another. Then there undoubtedly should be an increase in the number of cars used. Of course, the greater speed that will come as a consequence of such an underground motor, for instance, as is used by the Metropolitan company on its Ninth street line, or by the Rock Creek road on its U street line, will render unnecessary any extraordinary increases, but however that may be, there should be cars enough to make it certain that except in cases of accident passengers would not be required to wait at a transfer point for any longer period than three or four minutes. Another opportunity for radical reform relates to the attitude of the company toward its em- ployes. Under the old management—apd it may be even under the new—a great deal of petty tyranny has been practiced, and the immediate and lasting consequence has been friction undoubtedly unprofitable to the companies. Not so very long ago the local street-railroud men banded themselves together for the purposes of mutual pro- tection and assistance. Informally, but none the less forcibly, the employes of the Eckingten and Belt roads were notified that there was no surer way of rendering ex- tremely precarious their hold upon their situations than by joining the protective organization that had been instituted. There could be no poorer policy than that adcpted by the late management of the Eckingtcn and Belt roads. There is some- thing unspeakably mean in depriving a man of employment because he, with his own improvement in view, has chosen to associ- ate himself with other wage-earners of like purpose, and the new Washington and Bal- timore company should instantly rise above the weaknesses and prejudices and follies of its predecessor in this and in every other respect. The street-car millenium is prob- ably some years away, but if the new com- pany will only make the improvements which it has promised and the other im- provements asked for in behalf of the pub- lic, street-railroad conditions, so far as the Eckingten and Bélt roads are concerned, will undoubtedly be satisfactory for a long while to come. ——- + ee Corsequent upon the murdering of mis- sionaries in China has been criticism which insists that the missicnaries ought never to have gone to China in the first place; that there was more than enough for them to do in Great Britain or in the United States; that so long as there were sinners to be saved in civilized lands it was the duty of evangelistic Christians to carry on their labors at home and let the heathen take care of themselves as best they could. It is unfortunately true that in the United States alone there is probably enough of ignorance and unbelief to keep employed for a century or more every American man and woman possessing the missionary spirit, and while this condition is well Known to all the missionary societies they are nevertheless satisfied that the doctrine of high protection can never be applied :o true religious effort. It is a weakness of many reformers that their charities do not begin at home, but any attempt to place upon missionary shoulders any considerable proportion of the responsibility for such crimes as have recently been committed in savage China will be met with Scriptural command so powerful that the selfish plea for home conversion only must surely be overcome. Ever since the utterance of the mandate, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature,”’ un- selfish men and women have devoted them- selves to the uplifting of those Into whosq souls no ray of religion’s light had ever penetrated. If missionary courage were confined to the country of its birth and growth until that territory was completely cleansed of all sinfulness, millions of people who have strong claims upon Christian love would die without even the opportunity of experiencing the purifying infiuences of Christianity. ———_ woe It may never be definitely known how many Americans are in favor of the propo- sition that President Cleveland appoint ex- President Benjamin Harrison to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, but it can be taken for granted that a large number of republicans who expect to be heard of at the next national republican convention will provide Gen. Harrison with all the republican indorsements he needs. +--+ + = ___ The suggestion of Secretary Carlisle's name for the Supreme bench awakens a dcubt as to whether President Cleveland would be willing to lose the services of so able a sound-money orator as he, is. eo The size of the force of laborers engaged in the work of constructing Washington's city post-office building remains practicaily unchanged. Today there were ninety-eight men employed on the structure. > ¢ =_____ Kentucky will observe with satisfaction that the corn crop is all right, even if the democratic vote crop is a little prob- lematical at present. ——_+_ + e = —__ Holmes might have managed to kill a few mcre people by going into business as a lath-and-plaster building contractor. —_—__ e + _____ There is a wide-spread disposition to dangle third-term bait under President Cleveland's nose. —____+e =__ The Supreme Court is now flourishing some very substartial material for mid- summer gossip. —__~e+___ Holmes is writing his memoirs.

Why that man's so utterly unknown that he hasn't even been mentioned as a presidential pos- sibility. " said one “Georgetown.” ‘Though from the cold and formal map Your honored name may disappear, ’Twill still be heard and hearts be stirred While college-laddies love to cheer. Too Much Knowledge. “Some men,” said Farmer Corntossel, “is too well posted.

Cobb of 1034 Union avenue, Kansas City, Mo., under date of June 16, 1805, says: “For a number of years I have suffered from constipation in its severest form. My liver falling to act for a week I have tried any number of specifics and have also bad physicians prescribe for me, but only received temporary relief. During the early part of the past winter I had my attention called to Ripans Tabules by a small sign on a telegraph pole, which sald, ‘One gives relief.’ I procured a box and ‘was at once attracted by the neat form in which they were put up. Before I had taken halt a dozen doses I began to feel the good effect, especially from the pain I would suffer when my liver was trying to act. I have now taken three boxes and have no more trouble. My bowels act regular and free, and as a result my health 1s much tmproved. *“Signed) “D. M. COBB.” Ripars Tabules are sold by druggists, or by mall.
