THH EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY........0..,.August 31, 1805. GRosSY .Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medi it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not bé 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. Shall Curfew Ring Tonight? One of the biggest problems of this age of enlightenment is probably just as puz- zling today as it was six thousand years ago. Methods cf instruction have been so radically improved that they bear no re- semblance to early educative methods, and there has been wonderful growth of that potent force—moral suasion—yet in spite of everything that has been done in the great work of advancing our civilization the heads of families of today prohably find it quite as difficult to control their offspring as did those other heads of families of cen- turies ago. A fruitful cause of childish misbehavior is found in the laxity of pri- vate and public regulation as to the rights of juveniles to be abroad on the streets after the time of nightfall. The probabili- ties are that this world Is steadily becom- ing better, but so long as children are per- mitted to run uncontrolled on the public streets during the hours of darkness the forward movement will be seriously re- tarded. An altogether commendable effort to put a stop to the demoralizing wander- ings of boys and girls is that which is now being successfully operated in a number of towns of Minnesota, North Dakota and Scuth Dakota. The towns to which refer- ence is made have among their municipal laws a “curfew ordinance, which pro- vides—for they are nearly fdentical—that all children shall ba in thelr respective heres between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 am. The penalty for a first offence is to have the errant one taken home under po- lice escort and warned; second or subse- quent offences are punishable by fine, or imprisonment, or both. All the testimony is favorable to the law, and recent invest!- gation shows that at the sounding of the bell at nine o'clock each night those chil- dren who are out and who are unaccom- panied by parents or guardians immediately scatter for their nightly resting-places. No ore seems to have offered any oppost- tion to the statute or to its enforcement; in fact, public sentiment is unanimously in its favor, and the authorities have received from volunteer sources a great deal of ercouragemept. It does seem as thouch the ringing of the curfew must be strangely out of place at the close of the nineteenth century. Eight hundred years have passed away since the curfew regulation—framed by William the Conquerer—ceased to have force and effect in England, and now, in wide-awake, bustling cities of the greatest of republics, ft is revived for the benefit of the young, and is popular with all perhaps save those who {magine that at times the shoe pinches them a little. This matter of child life on the streets at night is one in which the people of Washington should be seriously concerned, for it is probably true that there is as large a percentage of boys and girls under sixteen who behave themselves about as they please on this city’s thoroughfares at unseemly hours as in any other great center of population. Not that Washington's boys and girls are worse behaved than are the children else- where, but the broad streets, and the trees, and the parks tempt them to remain out of doors much longer than is good for them. No rational being supposes that lively American children can be converted into earthly cherubim or seraphim by legislative provision, but it really seems as if there was general need of such curfew laws as are common and successful in the northwest. ————~++2____ The Equities Are Preserved. The very large proportion of Washing- ton’s population which desires to see the city achieve enlarged dimensions and greater beauty could hardly be otherwise than gratified at the decision of Judge McComas in the Tingle case denying the injunction prayed for. Every reasonable being will accord to his fellows the right to active effort to secure property and to hold fast to property already secured, but he will also agree with Judge McComas that the action of the Commissioners in filing and recording the section of the street extension map complained of 1s not only proper, but works no injustice, when the public interest is considered, to those who have appealed to the courts. “The filing of the map,” said the judge, “is a preliminary proceeding. This proceeding so far is not a taking of private prop- erty for the public use, or one that must necessarily result in such taking. It is only a preliminary, begun for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity and location of property proposed to be taken.” There can be no objection to defensive action by in- dividuals who believe that their material {nterests are being threatened, but it will be difficult to tmagine that the recording of the map will werk injustice to any one, While it 1s certain that whatever may hap- pen to property through the operations of the street extension aw there will cer- tainly be sufficient and satisfactory com- pensation made therefor in due season. It it evident, however, that the interests of both the public and the individual demand the speedy perfection of the street exten- sion plan, ending the injurious uncertainty which now prevails. The individual prop- owner should know definitely what sacrifices he is expected to make in the public interest, the municipality should de- cide upon, buy and pay for undonated street areas, and through prompt action by Con- gress, appropriative and otherwise, wise Street extension, fixing the lines to which suburban settlement must adjust itself, should be not merely planned and projected but practically and quickly realized. —_++__. Encouraged by substantial victory in the fight for street-car fenders the Commis- sioners will doubtless take specdy and de- cisive action for theremoval of illegal trolley poles. At any rate they ought to do so. ——-+-+—___ > It is a Caban Insurrection. Senor E. Dupuy de Lome is quoted at length in this issue of The Star on that in- teresting topic—the situation in Cuba. The talk is comprehensi: and, to some extent, instructive, but in dea ling with the main qvestion, it fails to throw any light into these benighted American minds in which fs the firmly-fixed impression that the Cu- ban insurgents have a real grievance and * likely, sooner or later, to crowd the Spanish troops off the island or into the se, the Spanish minis- pected to do anything likely to , but for his ‘ake he should not attempt to make it ar—within the confines of one interview t{ on the one hand the Cubans are a cctitented and prosperous people, and that on the other hand property is being de- ed by rebels all over the island, that the one hand the rebellion really ter is not bolster up the Cuban cau: own on amounts to nothing and that cn the other hand Spain will, by September 15, have u orted to Cuba more than seventy t! nd soldiers, and will have sent into Cuban waters at least fifty ships of war of izes for the purpose of quelling the trifling Uttle disturbance which Senor de Lome would have Americans to believe the revolution to be. Senor de Lome harps continually upon the negro string, and in- .Sists that those whom he terms the white Cubans have no sympathy with the present movement to oust Spain. The Star has in- fcrmation of the most reliable sort that those who may be termed the better class of Cubans are supporters of the revolution; are contributing money and arms to the Cuban cause, and have done so with the knowledge of 2 number of luke-warm of- ficials in the principal Cuban towns. Cuban planters have been depicted as intensely loyal to Spain because they equipped and maintained a regiment of cavalry and other forces auxillary to the purely Spanish troops, but the cold facts in the case make it very evident to those who know of the besis upon which the facts rest, that Cuban ccntributions to the Spanish cause have been made practically under compulsion. Believing that the time has not yet arrived for openly declaring themselves, some of the more prominent Cubans preserve the outward appearance of loyalty to their master, but careful investigation of the conditions even in Havana makes it certain that just as soon as the revolutionists have completed the organization they are now engaged upon, the better class of the island’s inhabitants will come out openly and successfully for the government in which they will have much larger share than they now enjoy. Preparations for Labor Day. Unless the indications are misleading, there will be much more general recogni- tion of Labor Day this year than has ever yet been accorded that holiday either by the wage-earners themselves or the gea- eral public. In all the leading cities and in many of the smaller communities there will be elaborate parades, in which the rep- resentatives of organized labor will make unostentatious display, and give to the un- informed a fair impression of the general character of the unions and assemblies and associations to -vhich they belong. Locally, the day will attract a great deal of atten- tion; in fact, it promises to be so generally observed—even in its infancy as a holiday— that ‘t will at once take rank with the More important festal occasions of the year. Looking back over the twelve months that have passed since Labor Day was last celebrated the working men of the country find good reasons to be encouraged and to turn hopefully toward the future. There has been a somewhat notable absence of large strikes, and many of the efforts to increase wages or reduce the number of working hours have been remarkably suc- cessful. In this city there have practically been ro labor differences worthy of note, and although the earlier poriion of the labor year now about to close was most unsatisfactory by reason of lack of local industry, the cloud has been turned inside out, and its bright silver ning is now on exhibition. Protection Against Just Debts. Many of Washington’s merchants com- plain because, under what seems to be a preconcerted move by departmental offi- cials, those employes of the Federal gov- ernment who are careless in the important matter of paying thelr just debts receive much more of encouragement in their neglect of obligations than should be af- forded them by those who, for the present, are their superiors. Time was—and not sc long ago—when the head of an executive department did not deem it beneath him to see to it that the clerks for whose be- havior he felt himself to be to some extent responsible made every reasonable effort to Nquidate their legal business obligations. Things-have recently undergone a “hange and now neither *the creditors nor their representatives have any recognized status in most of the government offices, and from some they are rigidly excluded as if afflicted with a pestilence. A vast ma- Jority of those who draw salaries from Uncle Sam are upright and honorable men and wemen, whose conduct is creditable alike to themselves and to the government of whose machinery they are parts; such as these do not ask the remarkable privi- leges which, by the anti-creditor action In several of the departments, are accorded the unworthy few. —__<---____ Starving the Marine Band. Every time the United States Marine Band is engaged to make a concert tour, or to leave Washington for the purpose of taking part in unoffictal celebrations else- where objections are raised in sqme quar- ter or another and discussions bordering closely on the angry, ensues. The constant repetition of this state of affairs could be easily prevented by Congress passing a measure, which is necessary and would be Just and equitable, providing for the pay- ment of salaries to the members of the Marine Band sufficient to properly support them, coupled with tre declaration that the band shou'd not be allowed to participate in other than national occasions, and then only under direction of the Secretary of the Navy. There is no dignity in the spectacle of the national band of the greatest coun- try on earth junketing around here, there and everywhere in order to pick up the few dollars necessary to keep the cxcellent artists who compose it from being con- fronted with the actual lack of the simple necessities of life. Indeed, a great many conservative and sensible people regard it as shameful. The remedy is simple end eary and there is no earthly reason why it should not be applied. —__+-2«___—_—. Chief Marshal McHugh of the Labor Day parade in common with others directly con- cerned in the big demonstration which Washington {!s to witness next Monday, doubtless feels indebted to The Star for giving him, in its capacity as a newspaper, timely Information concerning the proposed “school house” exhibit in the parade. The question that has been raised upon the basis of the facts printed in The Star can now be disposed of in a seemly and orderly manner before the labor of preparing the float has been performed and before the parade has begun to form on Labor Day. It is the business of the paraders to decide what shall appear in their parade, and it is the business of the Star to print all the news, in which labor it generally succeeds. —___ + = ___ President Cleveland's recognition of the home rule principle, to which the demo- cratic party is pledged, in the appointment of Mr. J. Nota “McGill as register of wills, meets, as might be expected, with popular approbation. Mr. McGill is one of Wash- ington’s bright young men and {s the pos- sessor of qualities that promise to bring him marked success. Mr. McGill succeeds a most excellent official, to whom retire- ment might never have come had not politi- cal considerations prevailed. Col. Wright's departure will be regretted by many of his friends, but there does not seem to be one even of that host who has any fault to find with the President's selection. ——_~ «oe The Marine Band may yet parade in Washington on Labor Day, performing a double bill and gratifying both the national eapital and Philadelphia. All’s well that ends well, and we may be happy yet. ++. ___ The secret of the success of many bosses is in the disposition of the people to bear the ills they have rather than fly to others that they know not of. —_—___< + = —____ This country has had a good deal of trouble with international regattas, but it may have a chance to cheer up over yacht racing. ——__ + e > ___ Mr. Quay must have been taking lessons in having everything his own way from the sugar trust.

District Cycle Co., 452 Penna. Ave. aul0-3m,28 Ripans Tabules. A gentleman of a methodical habit, who had adopted the practice of retaining a copy of every preseription fssuxd by his family physician, ne Interested as time went on to note that the same ingredients were pretty certain to be prescribed. at some point of the treatment of every case. For a poor appetite, or a sore throat, for restlessness which Aisturbed the baby’s sleep, and for troubles which beset the aged grandparents, the favorite remedy Was always turning up, although slightly modified from time to time and used often in conjunction with others. One day our friend happened to observe that the formula of a certain advertised remedy was identical with the latest prescriptioa he had received from his own physician, and in some surprise he stated the c&se to him, ‘The family doctor, after Mstening to what he had to say, replied: “The case Is about this way: Whenever there ls a disturbance of the functions of the body, no matter of what nature, it Is pretty certain to be accompanied by a derangement of the digestive organs.
