"Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR ould 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. = Unaccountable Inconsistency. If the District Commissioners—or a ma- fority of them—had wanted to stop the Washington and Great Falls Railroad Com- pauy from erecting trolley poles and wires within the western boundary of this city they would have had no trouble in finding authority for refusing the permission which, strangely enough, has been granted. Only a‘few days since, the Georgetown and Ten- leytown Company applied for a permit to extend a single track down Thirty-second street to Water street and was promptly notified by the Commissioners that the track extension was all right, but that no more pcles or wires could be put up. The contention of the Commissioners, that the legal status of the two companies is not on the same plane, because the Great Falls corporation is acting under its charter, while the Tenleytown company was merely asking a favor, which, perhaps, the Com- missioners had no right to grant, is unsound and unsatisfactory. The anti-wire decision in the Georgetown and Tenleytown case was precisely right, while the conclusion reached as to the Great Falls company was thoroughly wrong. Wrong because it is diametrically opposed to all recent congres- sional deliverances as to overhead wires of any sort; wrong because, even if there was no specific legislation adverse to the crea- tion or maintenance of such dangerously obstructive nuisances as poles and over- head wires are, it is the duty of the Dis- trict Commissioners to be firm in the pub- lic interest; wrong because the sentiment of the entire community is at war with the spirit which a majority of the Commis- sioners yesterday saw fit to encourage. It will indeed be remarkable if Congress does not call the Commissioners to account for their narrow action in this matter. The plain duty of those who compose the board that municipally rules Washington was to refuse the permit asked for by the Wash- ington and Great Falls company, but, as it fs, Commissioner Powell stands alone.in his opposition to the overhead trolley within the city’s bounds. Just what Congress will have to say before all the Commissioners are compelled to understand that overhead wires must not be strung at the national capital may not easily be guessed, for most Feople imagine that enough language has been put into legislation to remove the last lingering doubt from the minds of our of- ficials. Specifically there are the statute which forbids the stringing of additional overhead wires, the mandate by which the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home company ‘was ultimately compelled to remove ‘its poles and wires from New York avenue, and the many refusals of the national legis- lature to grant charters to railroad and electric lighting companies which proposed to make overhead wires conspicuous fea- tures in their respective equipments. Had the Commissioners been firm and refused to allow the Great Falls company to put up even a single pole they would have at least escaped the well-founded accusation of hu- miliating inconsistency. —___+ += ___+ ‘Will the Woman 2 Whether the next general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church deciaes favorably or otherwise upon the propost- tion to admit women as delegates, not even those who are most strongly opposed to the movement can deny that discussion of the question has developed more friends for the would-be delegates than even the would-be delegates themselves supposed they had. Each of the subordinate con- ferences has voted or will vote upon the proposition, and when the roll is finally called it will be seen and heard the world over that the ew woman is a great power im Methodism. In the working of the church she always has been one of the strongest forces, and, as a mere matter of cold fact, women have a clear majority of membership. Having served acceptably in all the humble yet extremely active po- sitions, she now reaches cut after an honor which has hitherto been exclusively en- Joyed by male Methodists. She claims that honor as a mundane reward for her fidel- ity in the class-room and the Sunday- school and the missionary societies and the mite societies and among the poor and the sick and the afilicted. If the living who have been Lenefited by her ministrations were now in possession of the privilege of the conference franchise, there would be more women than men in the front seats when the central body of American Metho- digm meets next year. > ——e. ———— Where Will Senator Gray Stand? That the Fifty-fourth Congress will be a ‘very interesting body seems to be generally urderstood. There are many reasons why the proceedings should attract more atten- tien than is ordinarily given to the doings of our national legislature. Cuba and Ha- wall, to say nothing of the forthcoming presidential campaign, will cut large figures in the debates of the first session. This brirgs up the inquiry as to what Senator Gray of Delaware is going to say or do when Cuban independence is being dis- cussed, as it surely will be. It will be re- membered that a number of Cubans were arrested and tried at Wilmington, Del., for alleged filibastering, and it will not be for- gotten—elther by the Cubans or by senators “sho are pledged to a vigorous foreign policy—that the principal instrument in se- curing the release of the prisoners was Sen- tor Gray. It has not been charged that the senator was moved by feelings of sym- pathy to defend the accused, but that he cid defend them with great success is a fact not to be overthrown. Popularly credited with belng the direct representative of the administration in all matters per- taining to foreign affairs in Congress, it is to be hoped that the senator will not be em- barrassed by the stand he has taken. 30s Senator Gorman and Candidate Campbell re both examples of the manner in which @ habit will pursue a man. —_ eo The job-looking-for-a-statesman continues Wo elude Mr. Ingalls. —___~ + =__. Sunday Saloons the Issue. It ts not unlikely that the campaign which will terminate in New York No- vember 5 will be as nearly non-political as any New York has up to this time known. Intimations from Syracuse--where the dem- ocratic stat» convention ts now In session— are to the effect that some of the stronger among the party leaders favor making the fight upon a platform the principal fea- ture of which will be an excise law which will permit the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays. This desire was voiced yes- terday by ex-Representative Perry Bel- mont, who, as temporary chairman of the convention, was required to give expres- sion to his views on the topics likely to have the greatest interest for an aggrega- tion which represents the party that has mostly controlled New York state. “What Gemocrats seek,” said he, “is legislation based on facts, experience and common sense. They would reconcile the premotion ef sobriety by the state with proper per- sonal freedom for those not intemperate. They cannot, and do not go along with the Puritan temper and tradition which up- holds a grinding tyranny in ‘the name of morality and religion, and yet they would try to regulate the sale of any article which, if improperly consumed; ~rapidly turns a man or woman into a nuisance or a criminal.” Senator Hill, who, perhaps more than any other man, is entitled.to the Gstinction of being the leader of New York's democracy, has several times made remarks much more radical than those ut- tered by Mr. Belmont. The democracy, therefore, is evidently willing to make the excise law the issue, and the proceedings of the republican convention at Saratoga commit that party to the maintenance of the Sunday law. Both as president of the beard of police commissioners and as a leading republican, Theodore Roosevelt is deeply interested in the fight which now appears ‘to be on, and his contrioution to the literature of the day is quite interest- ing. In a speech made last night In New York city, he confuted Mr. Belmont’s claim that the democrats are in search of legis- lation “based on facts, experience and com- mon sense” by saying that “the law on the statute books against the sale of liquor on Sunday was made by a legislature owned by Senator Hill, and was signed by a gov- ernor who was, the private property of Senator Hill.” It is quite evident that Mr. Roosevelt dees not regard the present law as ideal, but it hardly seems necessary for him to apologize for enforcing a statute of so much importance. That the law was framed in the interest of Tammany and blackmail must be admitted by all who are intimate with the political conditions in New York state, so it is not at all sur- prising that Mr. Belmont and a great many other friends of the tiger are opposed to its impartial application. In a little more than a month from now we shall know what kind of an excise law New York wants, and whether it wants the law en- forced or not. In the meantime Sundays will continue to be dry in Gotham. —___+ e-- —___ After recent experfences it seems almost like ungrateful impertinence to suggest to the weather bureau the possibility of over- doing even so good a thing as a cold wave. ee The fears for Paderewski’s success be- cause he !s losing his hair are without rea- son.

The supply of the luxurtous education ts made equal to the comparatively small de- mand for it, nay, it is more; but the pro- visions for primary instruction needed by the multitude are shamefully inadequate. The pecple of New York will be taxed nearly six millions of dollars next year for the schovls, yet many thousands of chil- dren who want to learn their A B Cs will be shut out of them simply because of lack of room. Th2 few hundred boys and girls who want to polish off their education with Greek and Latin, French and German, geometiy, trigonometry, and the calculus, philosophy, and polite learning will be Iccked aiter by expensive professors in spacious class rooms; but in all the crowded districts multitudes of youngsters who can’t read and write and cipher will be left in their ignorance because there are no primary schools for them, though under the law their parents are compelled to send them to.school. That is not the scrt of system of education for which the people car justly be taxed. The experience of many years, too, has proved that the Board of Education éannot divert any of its energies from the solution of the prob- lem of providing the simple and thorough elementary instruction universally needed without defrauding @ large part of the chil- dren of their rights. The only really essen- tial schools are the primary schools, of which there is so great a deficiency. —_—_+ e-____ A Good Game for the Young. From Life.
