6 THE EVENING STAR. * WASHINGTON. THURSDAY..,,.4,,.0-.-August 22, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Adveftising Medium it has no competitor. tlm 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, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Everybody in Washington outside of the gas company wants cheaper gas. The Com- misstoners yesterday voiced the unfversai sentiment. When the next Congress as- gembles it is well understood that the ir- repreesible conflict in recent Congresses over the price of gas is to begin again But the community ought not to be com- pelled to wait for cheaper gas until Con- gress can be induced to pass compulsory legislation. Some months ago there was intimation by persons who have large finan- cial interests in the Washington Gaslight Company that during the present year, and probably prior to the assembling of the Fifty-fourth Congress, the company would voluntarily reduce the retail price of the illumirating fluld which It furnishes te practically all the homes in the city. Up to this time there kas not been any ap- parent movement in the direction of that implied promise, and now that the warm weather {s here many of those who will reed to Fe consulted before the company can take action are only in town occasion- ally. But neither the hot weather nor the press of other business should influence the responsible stockholders to indulge in unnecessary delay. The Star has again and again shown conclusively that the demand for cheaper gas is reasonable, and with that view there was sald to be a dis- position on the part of the gas company’s board of directors to acquiesce. It was pointed out that of the several reductions which had been made in the price of gas nearly all had been voluntary on the part cf the company. Of course, the company’s percentage profits will be reduced by a lowering of the rate, but the reduction will not be so great as a superficial glance at the situation might Indicate, for a lower rate inevitably means greater consumption, and greater consumption is necessarily at- tended by more profit. If those who con- trol the affairs of the gas company are wise—and experience has demonstrated more than once that they are not lacking in keen business sense—they will carry out the partially-formulated plan to which reference has been made. By so doing they will probably prolong the company’s exist- ence, for in the,near future there promises to be, the whole country over, vigorous agitation in behalf of municipal ownership of illuminating plants, whether gas or elec- tric, and this warfare will be the most suc- cessful wherever the prices are most ex- tortionate. In fairness to a great many peaceably disposed citizens, the District Commission- ers owe it to the community that they take speedy action adverse to the enter- prising persons who are engaged in oper- ating “merry-go-rounds” within the city. Opposition to such forms of amusement— amusement which fs doubtless enjoyed by a considerable percentage of the popula- tior—is quite reasonatle; for there gather around thém multitudes of persons whose inclinations are toward disorderly and tm- moral conduct and who frequently permit thetr inclinations full sway. In the days leng gone by when these “flying horses” were patronized by children and were found mainly xt places of summer resort, they were probably unobjectionable, but tn the midst of such a city as this they are entirely out of place and are prolific sources of real annoyance to people who deserve some consideration from the au- thorities. Not the least of the annoyances attendant upon the nightly performances with which some portiors of Washington are afflicted are the never-wearying hurdy- gurdies which grind out for three or four hours at a stretch tureless parodies on threadbare airs with an iteration provoca- tive of profanity and likely to rive rer- vously-inclined people to undue indulgence in intoxicating liquors. There will be plenty of applause for the Commissioners. if they will raise the license fee to pro- hibitory figures. ——____+ ++ _____ In the absence of direct and specific ac- cusation Librarian Spoffcrdts integrity does not need even to be defended in this com- munity where he is known and honored.

As a matter of fact the convention could hardly have done otherwise than it did without Putting itself cn record as an extremely foolish dssemblage. Having no direct local interest In the production of silver ore, the democrats of Ohio had no cause for move- ment toward demoralization of the national money system. Senator Brice's remarks on finance, which were well received by the convention, were just what might reason- ably have becn expected from him as a shrewd political manager. Said he: “I come to urge the party in Ohio to stand on the platform of 1892, on the money ques- tion; to let the currency remain as it now and not to change our ground without full deliberation at a national convention, and a deliverance from that body. I come to urge that declaration for free coinage would be foolish, because it would be an impotent, an idle declaration. It would separate us from the national demoer: It would drive from our support thousands hundreds of thousands of men who other- wise would act with vs. A declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver—I6 to 1—made by this convention wonld have no practical effect, and it would mean en abandonment and disclaimer of the splendid results of your democratic admin- istration.” The national convention is undoubtedly the better place to settle the financial differ- ences of opinion, for there the central forees of gold and silver will—no matter what is done by county and state conyen- tlons—meet in decisive combat. In postpon- ing the day of settlement, Senator Br ard the democrats of Ohio follow the ample of Senator Sherman and the rep licans of the same state. If it were not THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. best to delay the conflict, then Sherman would never have advised delay and Brice —a keen, practical financler—would have insisted upon having the fight out at once. There is intimation that when the demo- crats get together next year to nominate their presidential preference there will be compromise reasonably satisfactory to the east, west and south—to which matter at- tention is paid in the news columns of The Star—but meanwhile those democrats who are willing to be known as sound money men will make their campaign standing on the financial plank of the platform of 1892, which declares: _ “We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the coun- try, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage for both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or be adjusted through international agree- ment or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the par- ity of the two metals and the equal power of every doHar at al! times in the markets and in the payment of debts; and we de- mand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin.” The sentiments expressed will, if prac- tically applied, give to the people of this country about all the financial program they are looking for. A principal source of the business disorder which even yet prevails is to be found in the fact that we run too heavily to platforms and are quite careless as to the treatment of the platforms after the elections are over. —_—__~ 2 = ____ Altogether extraordinary and inexcusable has been the inactivity displayed by the municipal authorities in the matter of the trolley poles and wires which the Ecking- ton Street Railway Company is permitted to maintain upon New York avenue. Con- gress gave especial consideration to the petitions of this company for further delay in removing the unsightly, obstructive and dangerous nuisances and concluded that the best interests of the city would be served by declaring in a plainly-worded statute that the poles_and overhead wires should be removed atthe beginning of the present fiscal year. Ample warning was given the company, so that it might have equipped the road with a modern and altogether unobjectionable motor had it been so in- clined. But the company was not in a hurry to obey the law; it was sullenly de- fiant for awhile and then, through its chosen representatives, declared ‘flatly thai it would exhaust the last one of the law’s delays before it would do the righteous thing. Defeated in two encounters, the company is now whoily at the mercy of the District Commissioners so far as the main- tenance of trolley poles and wires is con- cerned. What are the Commissioners doing to compel speedy compliance with the law? They have the power to cut down the poles, and they also have the power, through accumulated police-court prosecutions, to force the company itself to remove the poles. Probably the threat to take either of these legal-steps, and certainty the be- gnning of police-court prosecutions, would speedily force the company. to action sat- isfactory to the community. President Newbold in his interview, printed exclu- sively in The Star, indicated that the new management had the means and the dis- position to harmonize promptly with the law and public sentiment. General Man- ager Gray in his letter to the Commis- stoners, also printed exclusively in The Star, repeated in general terms some of Mr. Newbold’s assurances. The people of Washington expect the Commissioners to make prompt use of their own powers and of the corporation’s good intentions, and to effect an immediate crystallization cf verbal pledges into definite, binding action. ‘The number of entties announced for the Potomac River Regatta which will take place next Saturday afternoon is surpris- ingly large, and the committee which has had the preliminaries in charge deserves much credit for its energetic and effective labors in making the local aquatic event of the year successful, as it cannot fail to be now. There 1s no more healthful, in- vigorating, clean and houest sport than boat-racing when it is managed. by gen- tlemen, and the regatta on Saturday will probably have the good effect of stimulat- ing renewed interest in boating as a pastime. ——_~+-+___ Newark, N.

Mrs. Margaret Treadwell of Milburn, Lorg Island, in an interview had with ber on the 24th day of May, 1895, said: “Two years ago I had the grippe, and since then I have never been real smart. Nothing that I ate seemed to set well on my stomach. I ain't been much of @ hand for doctoring, but I tried different kinds of herb teas, but they didn't seem to do much good—Catnip was the best, but I got kind of set dgainst that. One day a lady asked me if I would try some of her medicine—Ripans Tabules she called them. ‘They seemed harmless lke, and Richard he took some, too, and ~ whatever they are made of I don't know, but. they beat all the herb teas, and we ain't felt so well in years. We work-pnythe farm all day now and eat our three regular meals, and all kinds ot victuals seems to agree with us. My advice 1s, don't bother With herb teas when you can get these Ripans Tubules, and dqn’t hesitate, as I did, about tuking them. They won't hurt you.. (Signed) “Mi§.
