6 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. MONDAY................ August 19, 1895. OROSBY 8. NOYES.............,.-Editor. —— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than’ the combined cir- culation of the other Washington @aflies. An a News and Advertising Medium it haw no competitor. 3 In order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal 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 Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ee If Artist Hovenden’s death shall be the Moving cause of a crusade against grade ¢rossings, then the heroic sacrifice will not have been made in vain. The details of that tragedy at Norristown, Pa., have ap- peared in the news columns and every newspaper reader is therefore aware of the fact that in an endeavor to save the life of a little girl one of America’s greatest paint- ers was hurried into the final stage of ex- istence. Reasonable precautions by the railroad company would have made the deaths of those two—the man of wonderful power and the child with all manner of possibilities undeveloped—completely unnec- essary. Railroad conditions at Norristown do not differ materially from railroad con- ditions in any other city in the United States; it is an American characteristic to hold life so cheaply that prior consideration is always given the other essentials in al- most any kind of an enterprise. By insist- ing upon the liberal use of safety-gates and the employment of the greatest possible number of watchmen, this city has of late suffered but few grade-crossing catas- trophes, but not even the many precautions which have been taken have removed from the grade-crossing the stigma of barbarous antiquity; its only merit lies in the fact that it is the cheapest arrangement that can be made and that merit is visible only to those whose financial interests have hardened their hearts and who will not be humanely considerate simply because in- dulgence ir what they term empty senti- ment will cut down the dividends. In some of the world’s older countries the grade- crossing has practically ceased to exist; here and there, perhaps, a few inconspic- uous examples still remain, but they are so hedged about with safeguards as to be almost unobjectionable. There are good and sufficient reasons for believing that Congress will, at its next session, take up, consider and probably dispose of the steam fallway problem which has for so many years annoyed and perplexed the people who reside at the national capital. Should the reasons referred to prove to be well founded, then we may look for local aboli- tion of the grade-crossing. Other reforms too are likely to come as the result of legis- lation on this topic, and some of the re- forms ‘are pf considerable importance, but none outranks the proposition to make grade-crossings within the city impossibil- ities. The Pennsylvania road will probably depress its tracks so that the cuts may be bridged at or near to the grade of the street. The Baltimore and Ohio road will, it is understood, run in on a masonry .via- duct. In either event the grade-crossing will be abolished, and while the abolition of that continuing menace will be exceedingly pleasing to the public at large, it will not be the only public benefit demanded. Public parks must be restored to the public; bet- ter facilities for the handling of great crowds of visitors must be provided; the entire, local equipment should be vastly im- Proved; but, more than all, the grade- crossing must be done away with. —_ +» —____ Every humane American resident of Washington who believes in the principle laid down in the axiom, “Charity begins at home,” should immediately follow the lead of Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, which body yesterday declared itself to be the practical friend of the women who are employed in the steam laundries rather than the supporter of the Chinese estab- Ushments by the operation of which so Many American girls are being deprived of the means of earning honest livelihood. ‘The action of Columbia Union is directly in line with The Star's suggestion that this Matter be considered and acted upon by the organized associations of wage-earners. It fs certain that anything like competition between the laundry girls and the Chinese who run laundries is impossible, for the Chinaman can live comfortably upon an amount-that would be much too small to provide a healthy American girl with merely suffictent to eat. Over a month ago, in discussing this question, The Star sald: “Most of the patrons of Chinese laundries are men who have to toil with their hahds; if they would only have a little practical consideration for the fellow-beings with whom they have racial fellowship they would undoubtedly do great good without working any injustice even to the China- man, who is here without invitation.” The “practical consideration” suggested by The Star has been given to this important mat- ter by Columbia Union and there shou!d follow a series of similar resolutions until every labor organization in town has placed itself on record as being entirely in sym- pathy with the movement to prevent the Chinese laundryman from dragging the American laundry-girl down to his own Plane of existence. - —___+ «+ _____ The history of England, the recent events in Hawaii, the victory of Japan and the stubborn struggle of Cuba combine to show that when an island {fs inoculated With the spirit of progress it is pretty sure to take. —__+ - + _____ One hundred and nine men were em- ployed upon the city post-office building to- day. Work was commenced upon the very far from complete structure three years, six months and one day ago. —___ += ____ It is hoped that if any contingency should arise which would cause the trolley people to wish to remove their poles, there will be no obstacles put in their way. —___ + e+ —-____ Friends of the American Indian will Watch closely the dealings of the Indian Bureau with those Bannacks who, elther through absence from the scene of dis- turbance or by some good fortune not com- on to Indians, escaped being slaughtered by settlers in the Jackson Hole country. That the Bannack ration Is insufficient to maintain life—that is, the life of a Ban nack—must be evident to anyone who knows what the normal Indian appetite is like and has seen the rations issued. It is, therefore, necessary that some one shall Provide food sufficient to make continued Bannack existence a reasonable probability, and this provision will be made by the In- dian in his own way and in accordance with treaty rights granted him by the United States unless the United States points out another road by following which the same satisfactory end ray be reached. Indian Agent Teter, in a report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, says that Many of the Bannacks will surely journey to Jackson's Hole within the next two or three weeks unless they are assured of suf- ficient sustenance without hunting. The agent makes sensible proposition to the effect that employment be given the In- diars, so that they may be able to earn money sufficient for purposes of sustenta- tion throughout the coming winter at least. Many of the older Indians will, of course, toke exception to the agent's plan; they fever have worked and they probably never will work; they gave up vast territory, their ownership of which was officially recognized, in return for @ reservation, raticns and the right to such game found upon government land as they might need, and they see no reason why any movement should be made to smash what they have always believed was a lasting agreement. The Bannack agent says that as soon as the irrigating ditch upon which he would like to have the Indians labor is completed the Indians will then be self-supporting, for, with a sufficiency of water on their farming lands, they can raise supplies ample to satisfy their needs. Even then, however, the Indians will not all be con- tent to remain on the Fort Hall reserva- tion the whole year through. Born to the chase and accustomed to it all their lives, they will not be likely to accept with calm- ness the dictum of the governor of Wyom- ing nor even of the Interior Department— stould there be one to that effect—that In- dians shall not kill game in the Jackson Hole country. It may be an extraordinary thing and one-almost without precedent in the history of our dealing with the red me, but it would nevertheless be the horest thing to compel the murderously- selfish white men in that vicinity to re- frain from Interfering with the Bannacks when the Bannacks are doing what the government agreed to let them do. ———~++s___ Following closely upon its consideration of the much-disputed question as to whether entrance to the conning-towers of our ships of war should be made iarge enough to permit the easy ingress and egress of the more rotund of our naval officers comes dis- cussion by the Navy Department as to the methods to be employed in removing to the “sick bay’’ such persons as may be wounded on the decks in action. The intimate con- nection of the two topics may not be ap- Parent at first glance, but the thoughtful student of naval affairs will doubtless see that there is a relationship. The principal point to be noted is as to the difficulty that would be experienced in removing from the conning-tower the wounded body of «ne of those obese officers who, when in the pos- session of all his faculties, could barely manage to squeeze his way in. By projecting himself edgewise, soto speak, most of the ultra-stout among our naval officers could manage to secure admission, but the get- ting of one of them out in case he should chance to be injured would be a serious undertaking. Matters like this have to be considered now in time cf peace; when a ship is in action and the unconscious form of her commanding officer is so tightly wedged in the slot as to make movement in or out temporarily impossible, it is then teo late to discuss the width of conning- tower doorways. A two-fold remedy pre- sents Itself: Either make the slot wide enough to admit easily the embonpoint cf a three-nundred-and-fifty-pound officer and the whole body of a twelve-inch sheli, or else insist that officers who cannot easily enter a moderately-slotted tower shall stay ashore and do bureau work or roam around on ships that are not equipped with towers or other uncomfortably-contracted living or fighting quarters. ———++-____ * If disgraceful scenes, such as occurred at the British electlons, were common in this country it would be a tremendous argu- ment in favor of women’s suffrage, for the sake of securing some restraining influence over husbands at the polls. ———- «2 ___ One good way to make some games of baseball really interesting would be to dispense with the umpire altogether, and let the players fight the decisions out among themselves. ——_—++»_____ Government employes who get their money in silver are luckier than a great many of Uncle*Sam’s honest creditors, who never get a dollar in any kind of coin. ——__+-___ It Is hoped that before the next joint de- bate occurs, our political economists of all schools will be converts to the theory that the short story is the ideal literary form. ——_+ 2 ___ Even the steady patrons of the police court in this city appear to be overcome by the heat, and indulging in a summer vacation—which nobody begrudges them. —_<_es—____ In paying his silverite employes in their own metal, it cannot be denied that Sec- retary Morton presented a weighty argu- ment. ~ ———~+ eo _____ If the new post-office cannot be of any value to the city it should at least be pre- vented from Killing off it’s population. —__+ e-—___ A piano for practice without noise has been invented.

A Good Deal Like It. “E don’t believe there ever was such a thing as a suicide club,” she said. “I don’t know,” replied the lady from Philadelphia; ‘you know the papers really say that it has gotten to be a fad for par- ties to charter trolley cars and ride in them by the hour.” The Threadbare Apology. “The officer arrested you for being drunk,” said the judge severely; “very drunk, indeed.” “Yes, your honor,” “but there were stances.” “What were they?” “Why, your honor, you see, I was under the influence of liquor at the time.” replied the culprit; extenuating circum- Her Inconsistency. “T'm sorry,” she said gently, “that I can- not be all that you wish in your life. But I will always think of you as a very dear friend.” “Thank you,” he said. “And if there is any way I can ever as- sist you by advice or endeavor do not hes- itate to call on me.” “That's downright kind of you,” he re- plied, greatly cheered. “You can help me.” “How?” “You see, so long as you have declined to be mine, I thought I'd propose to Miss Binkins, and if you'll see her ind put ‘n a good word for me, you know—” And that’s why she jumped up and went away huffy, and vowed she'd never speak to him again as long as she lived.
