CROSBY 5S. NOYES................Editor. @HD EVENING STAR has a reculne and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. oe ee ee Im 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. ee A surprising revelation {s that which ap- Dears in the annual report of Acting Gen- eral Inspector L. P. Bradshaw, printed in yesterday's Star, who notified the Commis- sioners that two of the local street railroad companies have failed to comply with the law which provides that cable and electric cars shall be equipped with suitable fenders and wheel-guards. It will be remembered that after repeated efforts to persuade the ‘various companies that fenders were really essential to the public safety and to the Proper operation of the various roads, the District Commissioners took the matter into the courts in order that they might there secure a ruling as to what could be regarded as “a reasonable period of time” in which to make the equipment. It was decided that the Commissioners were fully empow- ered to make the police regulations compell- ing the use of fenders, but the judgo thought the companies should be given Biore time. The Washington arid George- town company was then offered six weeks more of grace, while the Columbia road ‘was granted two months. This was done ‘Thursday, July 13, yet the acting general “irepector reports that the Washington and Georgetown company and the Columbia company have failed to comply with the law, although the time granted them in ex- tension has long ago expired. It surely is mot necessary to point out the usefulness and the life-saving qualities of fenders, nor ought it to be necessary to prompt public officers to do their duty. A reasonable time has elapsed since the court warned the of- fending corporations that the law must be obeyed; it is now in order for the prosecut- ing authorities of the District to direct the cctrt's attention ts what may be the wil- ful disobedience of which the two roads hamed are reported to be gullty. ———____«-«_____ ‘The progress of a country may be best abserved in the !mprovement of its laws and the amelioration of barbaric statutory bitterness. The advancement of Russia to a higher plane of civilization is indicated therefore in the forthcoming promulgation of a new penal code in place of the crimi- nal and correctional, punishment that has been in force since 1845. The commission having the important work in charge made a close study, of penal laws of en- lightened countries, and had the assistance and advice of many experts in the matter. The commission has already succeeded in suppressing workhouses and houses of se- clusion and brought about the abrogation of corporal punishment in the prisons, while lawa against usury and the fraudu- Tent acts of public officials have also re- sulted from its efforts. These signs are hopeful for the-future of Russia. Radical socialism and its twin and deadiler brother, Nihilism, can only exist and get their fun- gus growth In the darkness of despotism. The beneficent light irradiating from just and sensible laws is death to them, rnd Russia will find it out. ——-+ ¢ = —___ ‘The District Commissioners yesterday heard arguments as to the points at which mechanically operated street cars should stop to take on and let off passengers. Remarkably enough, tha vocal bulk of the argument was favorable to cars stopping on the far stde of street crossings, but the weight of common sense is apparently with those who insist that the cars should stop before crossing the intersecting street. Reasons for stopping on the rear side are plentiful and are set forth in detail in a communication published elsewhere in this issue of The Star, The reason’ in which the public is most generally interested is the one which makes it very plain that stopping on the near side is much safer for those who do not happen to be riding on the cars than the crossing of intersecting streets at full speed and with great mo- mentum. The safety of the public, as well as the convenience and wishes of the rail- ways, are to be considered. The experience of other large cities apparently demon- strates that In the public interest stopping on the near side is preferable. —_ 8 It may be all true enough that a British railroad train has been run five hundred and twenty-seven miles in five hundred and twenty minutes, but publication of that fact should not deceive any one into im- agining that railroad trains in Great Britain run more rapidly than they do on this side of the Atlantic. Were the rail- road conditions in the two countries re- versed, the running of a train at the rate of speed referred to would not be cause for comment. Remove the grade-crossings, which in this land are so plentiful, fence in the tracks just as the tracks are fenced in England and strengthen the road-beds, and the bursts of speed that would follow would truly be phenomenal. It is alto- gether remarkable that the English have mot done a great deal of record-breaking with locomotives, for the track conditions are much more favorable there than in this couptry, where neither considerations of public safety nor of rapid transit have sufficed to abolish the grade-crossings. ——__+ ¢«____ ‘We may just as well recognize now as at any other time the fact that anything like an international bimetallic agreement with England 1s ifmpossible. The first lord of the treasury—A. J. Balfour, a bimetallist— has practically so declared. Mr. Balfour's utterances in the House of Commons settle for some time tc come a question which has been puzzling a great many Americans dur- ing the period of financial disturbance and commercial depression which now seems to be rapidly reaching its end. —____+ o-»____ Perhaps George Gould will have an op- portunity to get even with Zella Nicolaus by having her accised of disturbing the peace when she tries to sing on the ctage. —___ + e+ ____ There is a harrowing suggestion of the Jackson City track in the manner in which Campbell was shoved in to the Ohto po- litical race. —_—_+ ++ ____ An expecition against the Tuaregs, a Barbary tribe occupying a large area of the mountaincus region north of the Sa- hara desert, is a poasibility which Is being discussed in Europe. An Arab explorer named Diebari has just returned from a long stay with the Berbers and announces that while he was among the Tuaregs he saw three Europeans who have been held in captivity for a long while. One of the three is Miss Tume, a native of Holland, who was thought to have been murdered by a band of Tuaregs twenty-six years go; the other two were members of what ‘was known as the Flatters expedition, which was destroyed by the Tuaregs in 1881. Of these two who somehow or other have survived, one was Mr. Roche, the en- gineer; the other one was not completely identified, but is believed to be either Col. Fiatters or Capt. Masson. Despite the great lapse of time the prisoners are still care- fully guarded and cannot by any possi- bility, says Djebari, make their escape. ‘The horror of such an existence-may not easily be comprehended by, people whose lives have been devoid of ccnspicuous fm- cident, but no pen can depict the agonizing experiences of those three highly-refined people who for so many years have ‘been completely separated frcm their civilized fellows. All Europe will be disgraced if there is not speedy and energetic effort put forth to rescue from slavery the three suf- ferers. Years of association with the hy- brid Arab negroes have doubtless extract- ed much of the bitterness that must be'|_ felt by people accustomed to freedom who are suddenly immured and kept under ty- rannical control, but no one can easily im- agine that the last spark of hope has fled from the breasts of the unfortunate peo- ple; until they die they will always dream of the liberty they never deserved to lose. The Tuaregs are numerically powerful and they occupy a country practically impreg- nable to the assaults of European troops, Lut whether the efforts be warlike or dip- lomatic there ought certainly to be imme- diste endeavor to bring about the libera- ticn of the unhappy captives. The opinion seems to be strong among scientists that a vast subterranean lake or sea underlies Nebraska, Kansas and a part of Indian Territory, and many incl- dents are cited to uphold this. belief. The fact that several places in Kansas show where whole sections of land have disap- peared leaving only depthless ponds to mark their sites, and the tide-wells in sev- eral Nebraska ccunties which roar and ebb and flow with an unseen tide are pointed out as proving the theory. Per- haps, though, the scientists'-are wrong. Whole sections of Kansas land have dis- appeared, especialy from government maps, many times without leaving a trace, and it would seem easy to determine the cause of those tide-wells. They emit noth- ing but wind when exhaling. and take in nothing but wind when inhaling. Nature, in her grophetic wisdom, evidently provided these peculiar contrivaxces in. anticipation of what was going to.occur in that loca!- ity. She foresaw the rise of populism and its apostles and arranged to regulate the wind supply in accordance with the neces- sities. No one who accepts: this. theory needs to be a bit surprised if one of those tide-wells should some day belch fort « big assortment of long chin-whiskers. Oo _. The Pennsylvania Road, which the Chi- cago newspaper refers‘to in the Hovenden case, has done more to abolish grade cross- ings than any other road in the United States. It has been constantly seeking legisiation to enable it to go forward with hat good work. In that respect, as com- aiea with its competitors generally, it de- Serves great credit.—Phila. Press. The people of Washington hope that the Pennsylvania Road will add- to this de- served great credit by seeking legislation from the next Congress which will enable it to go forward with, or rather to enter upon, the good work of abolishing its &rade-crossings at the capital of the re- public. And they also hope that the Balti- more and Ohio road will not permit itself to be outdone in the matter of improving the terminal facilities of Washington's steam railroads. Both«roads..ara pledged to act; ‘and promptly upon the convening of the next Congress Washington expects them to act. —_—_++-____ One hundred and nine men were em- ployed today on the city post-office build- ing.

AGreat LOTHROP, |Famine In Garbage Cans. Never during the of the hardware business in Wash- ington has there been such a famine in garbage cans_as dur- ing the past few days. No other firm in Washington had them but us. As you may guess, we have been doing a tremendous business in this line. But in- stead of raising the prices and making a little “spec” out of our “corner” on garbage recepta- cles we took advan of this opportunity to show the house- keepers of Washington how low we could sell ’em. These are Positively the lowest prices ever quoted by any firm for these garbage cans. The Great Demand oo Steam Cookers —during the past week has set us to thinking that we could sell still more of ’em by clipping the prices a mite lower. You've probably already heard of these wonderful utensils—you can cook two or three or four veg- etables in them at once over one burner of your gas or gasoline stove. They not only save fuel, but they save the washing of so many utensils.
