6 THE EVENING STAR, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY..........August 14, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular d permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has no compctitor. t7Im order to avold delays, on ac- count of personnal 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 Busiuess Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. When the equity ccurt refused to enjoin the Commissioners from cutting down the Megal trolley poles the Commissioners acted precisely as if they had been enjoined, and refreined from pole-cutting. When the criminal court sustained the police-court prosecutions of the illegal trolley poles, the prosecuting authorities acted precisely as if the decision had been unfavorable, fail- ing to press pending cases, beginning no new cases, and intimating that they had been called off from these prosecutions. Both the equity and criminal courts to the full extent of their judicial action, as dis- tinguished frcm their extra-judicial action, sustained the law and encouraged its en- ergetic enforcement. But the authorities have apparently declined to be encouraged in that direction. Now the corporation in controversy, speaking through its pres- ident in the columns of The Star, announces its willingness to promptly obey the law, and voluntarily deprives itself of its last excuse for delay by stating that {t has the ready means, through the bonds and resources of the Washington and Baltimore Company, to make these changes and improvements without waiting for the grant of a bond- issuing privilege by Congress. The corpor- ation says in effect that it has the money, the legal authority and the disposition to conform speedily to the law. Will the Commissioners take {t at its word and hold it to its word? The Eckington railway has enjoined the Commissioners from pole- cuttmg through a court decision refusing en injunction, and it has checked the police- court daily prosecutions against It through @ court decision sustaining such prosecu- tions;—will it be able to induce the authori- ties to accept and take advantage of its own voluntary offer to surrender? The matter is completely in the Commissioners’ hands. They can cut down the poles at any time, or they can pile up successful police-court prosecutions until the corpora- tion will be driven to remove the poles it- self. In the light of President Newbold’s efrank end important declarations, as print- ed in The Star, it is evident that to avoid any such action by the Commissioners the corporation will bind itself to begin speed- fly to make the changes which the law re- quires, and in addition other improvements in the public interest for the wisely and openly avowed purpose of working a change in public sentiment in respect to the corporation. With such cards in their hands as the equity court and criminal court decisions and the Newbold interview the Commissioners cannot lose if they play to win. Within a very short time the Com- missioners should easily convert President Newbold’s words into binding acts, and assure to the public the benefit of all the promised improvements in the conditions and service of the Eckington and Belt lines of railway. —_> e+ ______ ‘There ts a fiction which frequently gets into the newspapers and which has it that since the war officers of the regular army have never commanded any considerable body of troops. The New York Times said the other day: “While the Twenty-second Regiment and the Sixty-ninth Battalion were in camp last week, each evening at parade, after the officers had marched up and saluted the commanding officer, one of the sergeant- majors took command, marched the three battalions ‘n review, and finally dismissed them. He commanded each evening about 1,000 men. It is rather strange to think that probably no general officer of the army has commanded that number of reg- ular troeps since the war; and that most of the officers of the army have never scen 80 many men under arms at once.” Gen. Nelson A. Miles probably smiled at that paragraph if he saw it, for he had nearly thirty-five hundred officers and men at Pine Ridge in 1891 and more than two thousand at Chicago during the railroad riots of 1804. During the 70’s and 80's, Generals Crook, Terry, Miles and Mac- kenzie all commanded, at various times and in Indian campaigns, more than one thou- sand officers and men of the regular estab- lishment. —_- + + ___ People who are interested in the weather —and there are a good many such in the United States—will not be likely to find} fault with the chief of the Weather Bureau because of the changes he is making in the personnel of the service on account of the political activity of those who have been removed, transferred or suspended. In the first place there Is manifest impropriety in any marked display of partisanship by federal employes; in the second place—yet probably the more important consideration —the public service must suffer if public servants are going to give any consider- able proportion of their time to politics. Especially must this be so in the Weather Bureau. Much depends upon the accuracy of the observer’s reports, for there are times when an error of any considerable magnitude would change the entire appear- ance of the national weather map, and up- set the forecasts for half the country. ‘Tne Weather Bureau, therefore, reasonably proposes to exact exclusive service from those who have charge of its observation points, and it does so because such an ex- action will tend to increased efficiency and economical operation. —_~+e.____ Sir Jullan’ Pauncefote’s kind expressions toward this country are characteristic of stantially identical. As the Buda Pesth road bas stood the test of operation, win- ter and summer, under all conditions of weather, with profit to its owners and satisfaction to the public, there is every reason to expect the experiment at the national capital to be a business success. New York has a plan of dispensing with the overhead trolley without the use of an underground conduit, and this, too, prom- ises to be a practical success. In this case the current ‘s to be brought to the surface at points a few feet apart and is to be taken up by a long strip of copper beneath the car. Th2 length of the strip is such that wherever the car may be the strip will always be in contact with two “liveY points and be receiving current. Practical difficulties present themselves in the ap- plication of thts plan, but they are be- leved to have been overcome. In any cvent, the progressive cities of this coun- try, and Baltimore among the rest, will probably soon have before them to choose from two or more commercially practicable systems of propulsion by electricity with- out the odious and dangerous overhead trolley wire.” As the Sun so reasonably suggests, Balti- more cannot afford to permit the continued existence in its midst of such a kindergar- ten method of electrical propulsion as is there exhibited, in great profusion, in the overhead trolley, and which but for The Star’s persistent fight would now be afflict- ing Washirgton also. Within our city mits there still exists a short stretch of overhead trolley line—the only one that ever succeeded in establishing it- self within the bounds of the national capital—but either through the force of law or the willingness of the con- trolling corporation to conform to public sentiment, this line will soon cease to be, and in its place must come a road operated by just such methods as are so successfully working in this city and for which Balti- more will ere long hunger and thirst. -—+ 0 Very remarkable is the mental or racial obliquity now on exhibition in Twiggs county, Georgia. Some time ago Elizabeth Nobles, a white woman, brutally murdered her husband, and for that offense was tried and sentenced to be hanged at Jefferson- ville next Friday. Extraordinary efforts are being made to convince the authorities that it would be a proper thing to commute the sentence, the argument for the defense being based almost entirely upon the ground that the person most deeply inter- ested is a woman. Of itself, this enerzy in behalf of the condemned woman would not be extraordinary, for It has many times been duplicated elsewhere, and is even now prominent in New York city, where thous- ands of people are endeavoring to secure a pardon for a woman who cut the throat of @ man with whom she had been co-habit- ing, but the Georgia case has an uncommon feature. Mrs. Nobles had an accomplice— one Gus Fambles, a negro—and he, too, was sentenced to be hanged next Friday. The testimony in the case made it reasouabiy certain that this ignorant negro would never have had any part in the crime but for the instigation of Mrs. Nobles, yet, while there is vociferous demand for more or less clemency for Mrs. Nobles, no one seems to care what becomes of the foolish man who assisted Mrs. Nobles in commit- ting the crime for which she has justly been condemned. That Georgia will permit the execution of an accomplice while the prin- cipal enjoys life seems most unlikely, yet the news from Twiggs county indicates the probable hanging of Fambles and the pos- sible commutation of sentence for Mrs. Nobles. One of the main differences be- tween savagery and civilization is in the amount of consideration shown by man for woman, but it does seem as if our civiliza- tion were becoming much too fine-spun when it grants to woman the privilege of murder and practically assures her that the worst punishment will not be more painful than at most a few years’ imprisonment. If capital punishment is to be abolished, it should be abolished for both sexes. The Georgia case will be watched with a great deal of interest by people who are of the opinion that women are only deserving of extraordinary consideration when they be- have themselves as women should. ———__ e = _—_—_- The anxiety of Germany to get back two scamps who eluded the authorities of that country to come to this is encouraging. America has a great deal of damaged goods in that line which it would be willing to return to Europe. 2 An extra force of stonemasons was put at work on the new city post-office this morning, making the total number of work- men today engaged on that structure one hundred and five. —_~+ +___ This soubriquet “gentleman” with which the prize fighter loves to embeilish his name is demonstrated to be for the purposes of the three-sheet poster, purely. —___+ + +___ President Cleveland has nething to say about a third term. He is not the prompt and accomplished decliner that Wnitney is. the man. There is nothing caddish about him. If at any time he should take a no- tion that he would like naturalization papers this country would probably be only too glad to make especial arrangements for his accommodation. —_+++—__ The depth of Georgia’s interest in the Atlanta Exposition may be understood in its immensity when it is stated that it is greater than its in t in politics. —_ + ____ Trolley-worrled Baltimore has its eyes fixed upon Washirgton just now; which by the way is a good thing, for there are many conditions in Washington which could be reproduced in Baltimore, greatly to the comfort and material advantage of Baltimoreans. This time the under- ground application of electricity to the propulsion of street-cars is the shining spot upon which Baltimore optics gaze in- tently. Baltimore's business streets are extremely narrow, so the overhead trol- ley 1s more than ordinarily obstructive; it misappropriates valuable space and causes the fire department a great deal of anxiety. It is therefore not at all remarkable that Baltimore should watch closely the oper- ation of street-cars on the Ninth street and U street lines. Discussing the system which has teen adopted by the Metropoli- tan company, the Baltimore Sun says to- day, editorially: “The Washington method differs from the method applied practically and with suc- cess in Buda Pesth, Hungary, in 188i), chiefly In the location ef the slot. At Buda Posth the stot is in one of the rails, and rot between the rails, as at Washington. In other respects the methods are sub- It remains to be seen which will be more powerful in Onio poiitics, the western re- serve or the cash balance. SHOOVING STARS. An Explanation.
