EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ,TURDAY.............-August 24, 1895. E EVENING STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation yach more than the combined cir- tion of the other Washington gosto As a News and Advertising lediam it has no competitor. lm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = Secretary Morton has ‘ssued a call for @ goog roads parliament to be held at At- Janta Te October under the auspizes of the Cotton States and International Exposition. The movement is fraught with possibilities of important results, inasmuch as it will awaken interest in the subject of good roads in a portion of the country where there has heretofore been but little agita- tion of it, and will stimulate the attention of the public in those places where the good roads movement Is at present Ip an embryo state. Secretary Morton has made his invitation brcad enough to include every person likely to be interested in the subject of improved highways, and that means about every member of every com- munity; farmers, merchants, bicycle mak- ers, wheelmen, humane societies, carriage builders, boards of trade and transporta- tion and all the state and local highway commissions have been asked to put in appearance either personally or by proxy. A great many pecple who have never given the matter any particular thought may have an impression that they are really not concerned ir the proposed betterment of American roads, but, as a matter of fact, no reform could be more far-reach- ing and generally profitable to all classes of society than the good roads reform. Some of the states have made practical application of the best of engineering ideas as to highway ccnstruction, and as a di- rect result of their liberality have reaped rich reward. Pre-eminently has this been So in the wide-awake state of New Jersey, where there are to be found plenty of peo- ple who will never hesitate to invest a dollar when they know It will bring five in return almost immediately. Good roads always result in remarkable increase of farming-land values, for with easy wagon- communication the agriculturist has no difficulty in finding a market for his pro- ducts. Secretary Morton has chosen an appropriate time for holding his parliament. The exposition will attract many people from every section of the country and they Will be people of means and influence who can lend something more than theoretical ald to the movement. ee According to a statement made today by Superintendent Sailer of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, the biggest of this city’s street railroad cor- Porations has had ail its cars equipped with fenders according to regulations for quite two weeks. In an official report printed In Thursday’s Star it was an- Nounced that the W. and G. Company (which had been granted six weeks from June 13th in which to equip itself with fenders) was still engaged, to some extent, im avoiding the law. Now it appears that the report in question was written prior to the 14th Instant, so that editorial comment in yesterday's Star based upon that docu- ment wrought unfairness to the raflroad company, which, while a little behind- hand in completing its equipment within the time allowed it, is now, and has for some time been, in full compliance with the law. So far as the Washington and Georgetown road {s concerned The Star's comments of yesterday concerning fenders fall to the ground. How 1s it in the case of the Columbia Railway? ——___ ee The gentleman who appeared in this country endeavoring to secure recognition ‘as “The King of Trinidad” has disappeared from view.

James, ex-Postmaster Gen- eral, had recently resided in Washington he might reasonably have strengthened the statements made in an interview which ap- @ars In the most recent Issue of Printer's donk. Said Mr. James: “I think, in the near future, the evening mewspaper is going to be a much more im- portant factor in journalism than it is at Present. Very few important occurrences transpire after dark; nearly all the news of importance is based on something that is done during the day. When the evening journals can secure and present the news fore systematically than they do at pres- ent we will know at 5 or 6 o'clock in the" evening all that has transpired all over the world.” Observant readers of the dally records of events are entirely in accord with the con- clusion which prophesies the growing im- ‘portance of the evening newspaper; locally they have for some time been aware that he’ evening newspaper—and it is no breach of modesty to claim that “the” newspaper ts The Evening Star—has de- YVeloped so much of manifest superiority as B gatherer and distributer of news as to be jhead and shoulders, as it were, above those who would be its competitors, whether they are published in the morning or in the fternoon. It is not to be imagined, how- ver, that perfection has been reached, for gs there is improvement in the methods of news-collection, so there will be betterment fn afternoon newspapers whose man- gers are determined to be in touch ‘with the most advanced thought land achievement in active journalism. for years the morning newspaper was the persessor of practically every advan- tags; its reporters had so much more of time in which to hustle for facts and fab- ricate fancies; the press associations—own- ed or controlled mainly by morning papers —were careless as to the afternoon jour- als, deeming them of comparatively lit- le conseqvence; foreign news, unless it was of extraordinary tmportance, and then only in meager form, was rarely vouch- afed to the evening newspapers. But in Yecent yerrs there has been wrought a fevolution, and the evening paper, for- merly treated as a mere tender to morn- ing issues, a place of deposit for news dregs and left-over matter, or a sketchy nnd often inaccurate advance notice of the morning publication, has steadily moved toward the independent and commanding position to which the facts entitle it. In the leisure at the close of a day’s work the newspaper reader delights to learn what his fellows over all the world have been doirg during the same day. The news is fresh and both the news and the advertising are read more carefully and miore thcrougbly than in the morning rush of a busy man or woman. Nearly all the news of the United States and of the na- tional capital is made in daylight hours, and The Star provides the combination of skilled men and perfect machinery which conveys this news to its readers on a rapid transit system. Foretgn news is a factor of considerable prominence now in the Make-up of a wide-awake paper and in that ficld The Star and other afternoon epers that believe in printing the news have every advartage over the journals which are published in the early morning. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. Most of what may be termed foreign news comes to us through European channels. When The Star goes to press the business day in America and all of the ay in Eu- rope is done; very little intelligence worth cabling comes to the surface in Europe after nine o'clock at night, and it ts almost nine o'clock in London when The Star presses daily. commence to print the many thousands of papers which find their way into more thati fiinety per cent of the homes in the city of Washington. It must therefore be evident that the ideal evening newspaper—which to Mr. James would seem to be somewhere in the future—is already here and is being substantially ap- Preciated by people who know a good thing when they see it. The suggestion of the need of a more sys- tematic collection of the news by the af- ternoon paper is made by Mr. James, who evidently has in mind the old-! fashioned evening publication, a mere supplement to and echo of the morning paper. Through the vast resources of the Associated Press and of skilled special correspondents in the telegraphic field, through a marvellously efficient force of local reporters, and through the skill in the quick handling of news and the mastery of rapid-transit de- vices which spring from long experience in serving to the public the day’s news hot from the griddle, The Star is enabled to cover satisfactorily the day's history up to the minute of publication, and to per- form constantly feats of rapid and accurate Teporting which cause the more sur- prise and admiration the more the ob- server knows of the newspaper bus!ness. These achievements, constituting, in news- paper phrase, “scoops,” on local afternoon co-temporaries and forestalling and mak- ing stale no-ning priper announcements, are not confined to any one branch of rews, but cover the whole ficld, whether the late-in-the-afternoon nomination of Lowndes for governor of Maryland or of Campbell for governor of Ohio, or the with- drawal of the Defender in the latest yacht race is to be recorded, or whether there is occasion for a late announcement in the locat field, as at the District Building in a dozen recent cases, or in the departments, as in the matter of Secretary Morton’s abolition of the seed bureau, or in the mul- titude ef purely local happenings. - The Star do>s not merely distance its afier- recon cotemporaries. In its columns the rews topics of the day are treated as sys- tematically, as comprehensively and as accurately as in the morning papers, which have at their disposal ten or twelve times more of time for deliberate investigation end careful writing. The morning paper must necessarily be the paper of yesterday. The Evening Star is the paper of today. —_—__> eo —___ Candidate Hardin appears at this time to be the only democrat with a delicate and cultivated sense of humor. He thor- oughly appreciates the opportunities af- forded for the expansion of this quality by the democratic coinage declarations In the platform of 1892. When the finan- cial plank was adopted at Chicago, it was understood that a majority of the demo- crats construed it to mean the free coinage of silver. That, however, did not inter- fere with Mr. Cleveland’s accepting the nomination and construing it to mean gold monometallism. Since then President Cleveland's construction has been generally accepted, and to the Kentucky convention a reaflirmation of that plank meant a declaration for gold. A man with Mr. Hardin's sense of humor cannot reason- ably be blamed for taking advantage of a wide-open opportunity to at once per- petrate a practical joke and at the same time to present an object lesson, in which latter he proves without any difficulty at all that a declaration which means nothing may mean anything. He has therefore put upon the platform of 1892 the construction which those who reported it to the na- tional convention led most of the dele- gates to believe it would bear. The re- sult is a paradox which 1s the legitimate offspring of the financial plank constructed for straddling purposes. So far as that financial plank is concerned, Mr. Hardin may go on making free coinage speeches without fracturing the principles that the democratic party laid down at Chicago in 13: —---- + 0 e The English are in many respects slow, and in nowise is this fact more emphatically accentuated than in the neglect of the English people to take up and use the re- cent discoveries of science which have Ughtened the labor and economized the time of this and other advanced peoples in such a remarkable degree. There are more telephones in the northwest section of Washington than there are in all London put together, and the little towns of West Point and Columbus, Miss., have better electric lighting than the leading thor- oughfares of the metropolis of the world. Just now, several Englishmen who are evidently some centuries in advance of their brethren, are experimenting with ihe horseless carriages, run by petroleum, which have been so successful in France, and there is a great hue and cry going up that they will scare horses if used on the highways! —-—- +0 + —__ Now that the yacht designers have suc- ceeded in building hulls that can hardly be improved upon for racing purposes, a new field is opened, and there is demand for spars and rigging which can be depended upon to stand the enormous strain of phe- nomenally-large sall-area. Every little while even the best constructed of yachts breaks down at a crucial moment because some one of the spars has given way be- fore the great pressure exerted by the thousands of feet of wind-crowded sails which the racirg yachts of today are re- quired to carry. Accidents to the cup de- fender and the chalienger of the present season have been quite frequent, and there will doubtless be more of them before the concluding contest. It seems to be agreed by experts that neither of the boats could go through anything like heavy weather without being more or less crippled. -—> 0 -—__—_—_ Many people will doubtless be gratified to learn thd@t the Bannack Indians who were legally engaged in killing game in the Jack- son Hole country in Wyoming will prob- ably be released from prison within a few da; Of course it will be very annoying to the states’ rights advocates in Wyoming to be compelled to admit that the United States has power paramount to the powers possessed by Wyoming, but, if that lesson has to be learned, it could hardly be learned at a better time than now. The United States owes it to the Bannacks that their release from illegal imprisonment shall not elese the tucident; those who are responsi- Lie for the outrages perpetrated on the In- dians and who endeavored to start an In- dian war should be compelled to suffer for their. misdeeds. 22 There were employed on the city post-of- fice building today one hundred and nine men.
