6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1895—TEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY............... August 20, 1895. OROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. THE EVENING STAR has o regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culution of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [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 Fditorin! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = ecegm tetera on the Potomac is at this time so vastly supertor to that which was to be had ten years ago that com- Parison would be simply ridiculous. In Place of four or five ancient hulks we now have a fine fleet of boats that are mostly modern as to build and equipment. Care- fully handled, a rule, they have been means cf gratification and health to a very large percentage of this city's povulation, and they have in many ways added mate- rially to the pleasure of existence in this vicinity. But they lack one essential thing; they ure defective as to fire drill and boat drill. Perhaps’ it may be that there are people still living who have seen the steamer crews engage In these exer- cises, but witnesses, If there are any, are extremely slow in coming to the front. There is obedience to the letter of the law as to the number of hoats carried by each steamer, but the spirit of ‘the statute fs practically defied by the condition In which most of those small boats are today. To lower away one of the Ittle craft would rejuire the use of much more muscle and the waste of much more time than onght to be applied to such an operation. Ropes are painted until they cannot possibly run over the block-sheaves, while the tar- parlin or canvas with which the boats are covered from yerr’s end to year’s end fs lashed down tichtly and secured so as to make anything like speedy launching fmpossible. Then the crews are far from eapert tn boat-handling: Indeed, it may recsorably be questioned whether any steamboat on the river has three men on ft—outs!de of the officers—who could lower a toat from davits without capsizing It or Going other damage likely to result in serious loss of time when time is most val- vable. Conservative estimate of reliable witnesses Is to the effect that It took from fiftcer to elghteen minutes to lower one of th> steamer Macalester’s boats last nicht when the young lady passenger acci- dentally fell overboard to her death. Delay Vike that !s almost criminal; the greenest of landsmen would hardly have done worse. Of course, it may be that the unfortunate young lady was struck by the paddle-wheel and thus killed instantly. but the fact that the small boat when it was ready for service did practically nothing does not excuse the condition of affairs which maintains the ship's boats under circumstances that make practically cer- tain thelr uselessness In times of emer- gency. The Star feels certain that steam- boat proprietors and captains will not permit the objectionable conditions to longer continue: in view of the drowning of Miss Bursh last night the responsible officers will surely see to it that the boats are ready for instant use, that the falls are unpainted and that the members of the crew are regularly assigned to stations which they have been trained to fill. There may be only one such lamentable occur- fence as Miss Bursley’s drowning In the course of two or three seasons, but the infrequency of such tragic events cannot be advanced as legitimate reason for in- efficiency of men and equipment. — e+ ——_ A remarkable feature of the late elec- tions In England has received practically no attention in this country, although just row there is much more than an ordinary amount of discussion as to topics In which workingmen are particularly interested. In the last parliament, nine of the most prominent of Engiish railroad towns were represented by liberals, yet in the late elec- tlors those towns gave safe majorities for conservatives, a most extraordinary and unlooked-for result, for the liberals had 's been conspicuously friendly to the earners employed on the railroads, while the conservatives had never made any attempt to do even one of the many things asked of them by organized labor. For years there has been agitation in England against the overworking of rail- road employes; agitation that originated fm railroad accidents resulting from the sleepy carelessness cf men who had been on duty so many hours as to be practi- cally helpless for lack of slumber. Com- plaint also came from the railroad men themselves, most of whom insisted that the heartlessress of the employing corpora- ticns was rendering the overworked em- plcyes’ lives almost burdensome, to say nothing of the risks that were taken by trainmen and passengers whose existence might speedily be terminated by a mis- placed switch or an erroneous sigral. The Uherals in the last parliament applied themselves to remedy this undesirable and Gargerous condition and they finally did it by passing the Railway Servants’ Hours of Labor bill, which rendered illegal the re- quirement of this overworking and which also (and there’s the rub) made it fllegal for any employe to work overtime. Per- haps a few of the railroad men were glad of the protection set up by that statute, but the great majority of them resented what they deemed to be interference with their right to make as much overtime as they choose, or as they could get, and when the elections came off they upset a number of liberals who had honestly tried to be- friend them ard came very near to de- feating John Burns, who was one of the preminent advocates of the bill. There is probably a moral to this’story; those who enjoy moralizing may amuse themselves by finding it. ——~---___—_ Col. Breckinridge evidently conslders Miss Pollard the Delilah responsible for a probable overthrow of the democratic tem- ple in Kentuck: +> oe It fs beautiful and touching to hear these inent and able democrats vociferously declaring for one another for President. ——————— the mid- zed war hovers over ho’ matter a little fl and who knows what may co of a difference the tax department of the e' York and a mercantile house whose headquarters are about being cheated ect that the matter will fat once be Iaid before Ambassador Bayard with documents nough on which to base a gainst cverybody and culy or a slaratle tf directly e London- ment. The facts In ret New York tax com- ‘3 assessed during the pre: tyear p-resident English firm, which has a office in New York city. The New York agent of the house forwarded the ment notice to his employers in Lon- on, and they there made appearance be- fore the consul general of the United States, made affidavit to the effect that their firm was not assessable in this coun- try, and then forwarded the affidavit to the tax commissioners, and with that fermal document a letter calling the at- tention of the commissioners to the fact that the protesting firm had paid the con- sul general the sum of ten shilling and six- pence as a fee; the tax commissioners were requested to remit that sum with all pos- sible speed. The communication was the cause of much hilarity, for the tax com- missioners in New York—according to the custom of tax commissioners and assessors and collectors and such like officials in all parts of this and every other country— take everything they can possibly lay their hands on and never by any chance return any of it. Two or three days ago the Lon- don firm once more woke the echoes by de- manding the ten shillings and six pence, gravely informing the tax department that failure to remit would result in interna- tional complication, and announcing as a principle that Her Majesty's subjects will not permit themselves to be defrauded by the New York city tax department. The three tax commissioners insist that the law and all the equities are on their side of the case, and they are perfectly willing —probably because they are too old to be draftéd—to see the matter fought to a fin- ish, even if somebody's blood has to be shed. It is all very horrible. —____+ e +___ President Newbold, who {s at the head of the railroad combination which includes the Belt and Eckington roads, has openly moved to-make good the first of the prom- ises he made to the people of Washington through The Evening Star. Realizing the folly of attempting to operate a road after a fashion adverse to public sentiment, the new management has concluded to re-es tablish the old Belt line so that the circuit may be made without a transfer. This change will be appreciated by a large num- ber of Washingtonians and the apprecia- tion will doubtless take tangible shape. In connection with this much to be desired conversion, the railroad management re- quests permission to erect a temporary strvcture for stable purposes, alleging in behalf of that application that it is the in- tent of the company to operate speedily the Belt road and its other lines by a modern mechanical motor. It will be re- membered that another of President New- bold's important pledges in The Star in- terview was to the effect that very .soon both horses and trolley on the Belt and Eckington lines within the city ‘imits would be displaced by an unobjectionable modern motor. Why there should be request for a permit to put up a temporary build ing which would be out of accord with our building regulaticns is not quite plain; the Commisstoners may decide that there is no good reaso: why such a permanent structure as might be needed when the new motors are at work could not be erected at this time ard used for stables while the conéutts are being laid and all the other things are being done to give the Belt road a place among up-to-date street railwoy lines, The Star and the commun- ity will look with eager anticipation for the other improvements of the immediate future promised by President Newboid in his exclusive interview in The Star, wherein he Indicated that the company would not attempt to maintain its illegal trolley poles on New York avenue, and that the Eckingten and Belt cars would soon be operated by wires underground, as are the cars of the Ninth street and U street lines. Of course the Commisstoners will not grant any coricessions in the shape of per- mits or yield any advantage in the anti- trolley fight which the law gives to them without definite, specific and binding as- surances of prompt compliance with the law by the railroad company. This com- pany should at once either make provision for horses to run its New York avenue line within the city limits or commit itself prac- tically and irrevocably to immediate un- derground construction. When Congress meets there must be no illegal trolley poles and wires in use in the city of Washing? . _—> «= _____ When Congressman Johnson goes on record as hating Brice worse than he does free silver he makes the thrust indeed a cruel one. ——__+ e+ -—___ It is interesting but appalling to think of how much Grover Cleveland and the next Congress are going to hate each other. —_—_$_+ +2 ____ As a public official who attends to his business Theodore Roosevelt has proved a thorough surprise to Gotham. ae 0 Almost every man who has any enemies at all is getting suggested now as a presi- dential nominee. —_____ 2» —_____ No Pennsylvania campaign is really com- plete without a libel suit or two. ———- + ¢ = One hundred and nine men were working on the new city post-office today. ———————— Tom Johnson of Ohio is in favor of free- trade and free-fight. ——__~+ e =_____ SHOOTING STARS.
