lo THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY.........September 26, 1805. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. ———————— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation mach more than the combined eir- eulution of the other Washington @aflies, As a News and Advertising Medium ft has ne competitor. Im order te avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, hut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial er Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. a Should Be Enforced. ‘The movemsnt originated and promoted by the labor organizations to shorten the hours of toil has always had the warm sympathy of those who in the Christian sense love their fellow-men. By those who give wise consideration to socia! and scon- omic matters the movement has been ap- Proved because of its promise of better conditions, of better workmen and better citizens. Opportunities for leisure and for cultivating the greces of life are likely to produce a people much more intelligent, Much more manly and much freer from vices than the old system of overworking men, whereby the masses were kept al- Most in the condition of brutes. Many forcible arguments have been made in favor of the eight-hour day, and in many communities public cpinion has been thor- cughly educated to regard eight hours as the proper limit of daily toil. One result has been the distribution of employment among a greater number of men. The agi- tation for eight hours will undoubtedly be kept up until the principle is recognized end abided by in every community. Here in the District of Columbia, a federal dis- trict, the principle has been incorporated imto national law. After many years of effort, in the face of great discourage- ments, the committees representing labor organizations secured finally in 1892 the enaetment of a statute believed to be op- erative. It is not at all surprising that these labor organizations should guard Jealously a law that ccst them so much effort and that means so much to them and to mankind generally. Several pros- ecntions have been begun under this law, ard defeated through technicalities. The defence made in a csse now pending is un- derstood ‘to be that an “extraordinary emergency” existed, the law permitting longer hours of work in such a case. The facta in the present case are yet to be de- termined by court, but the suggested ce- fence gives force to the appeal of the workingmen, set forth in an interview pub- lished elsewhere in today’s Star, that the law be made more effective by closing up the various avenues of escape now opened by its peculiar wording. Emergencies jus- tifyiag a suspension of the law should be plainly defined by the law itself. The matter should not be left to the whim of an official or the determination of an in- terested contractor. The workingmen’s organizations seem to have good groypds for complaint against the government gen- erally for its nactivity in enforcing the eight-hour law. If federal officials were alert in this matter, perhaps contractors would not be so ready to attempt evasions, if not direct violations, of the statute. ed °Tis the Same Roosevelt. It is amusing to note what a hard time the friends of “wet Sundays” in New York are having with their campaign. They had @ great parade yesterday—the procession of the thirsty—and it was Intended to be a tremendous rebuke to Commissioner Roose- velt for his enforcement of the laws which, through no fault or credit of his, were cn the statute books when he assumed office. Mr. Roosevelt was to be the Guy Fawkes of the occasion. But, with characteristic pluck and sagacity, he pricked the bubble of their desires and took the “go” all out of the entire demonstration. Having been invited to attend the ceremonies of re- viewing the parade by a polite but hardly discreet committeeman, Mr. Roosevelt promptly accepted, took a bold stand on the front of the platfofm, and showed such good-humored appreciation of the affair, and such grit in standing before his sup- posed foes, that ere long the humor of the situation broke upon the paraders, and the police commissioner was cheered again and again. As an effort to counteract the influence of Mr. Roosevelt with the citizens who love order and peace the parade was a failure, and he stands today more com- pletely than ever the master of the sit- uation. oe An Unnecessary Nuisance. There is not much solidity in the argu- ments made before the District Commis- sioners in behalf of the scheme to locate & garbage crematory at the end of South Capitol street; such as were presented at the hearing yesterday. It fs not enough for the centractor to say that the garbage must be carried somewhere, that it has got to be disposed of within the city, or that it is not a fit subject for municipal inter- ference before the establishment of the nuisarce. If garbage burning is a nuisance it should be performed far beyond the city’s limits. It is folly for the contractor's counzel to insist that he knows there is nothing in the cry that the furnace will be a menace to health and comfort, be- cause, forsooth, a resident of Philadelphia tells him that two miles away from the plant there fs no trace of bad odors. Two miles, indeed! The people who are making the fight live within a radius of half, even @ quarter of a mile. This citation of the experience of a Philadelphian indicates the entire futility of the whole defense of the proposition to offend the citizens with an unnecessary nuisance. —_—__ +e = —__ Gen. Horatio C. King, nominated by the New York democratic convention for sec- retary of state, is a Washington boy, the son of Hon. Horatio King. He is a hand- some, soldierly-looking six-footer, a good lawyer and a good newspaper man. He is very popular in New York, and will be apt to give strength to his ticket. ee People who somehow cr other imagined that President Cleveland has no confidence in Senater Gorman should have their at- tention directed to the fact that the Presi- dent's horses have been pastured in Mary- fand all summer. 0} -__ ‘whe garbage plant promises to rival the @urysanthemum as a topic for autumnal consideration. Se Perhaps a Misunderstandl An earnest sympathizer with the Cubans who are endeavoring to achieve self-gov- ernment, The Star ts not willing to be mis- understood or misrepresented even a little as to the stand it takes in the controversy in which Spain and Cuba are so deeply in- terested. The organ of the Spanish govern- ment in the United States is Las Nove- des, published in New York. In that Pewspaper there recently appeared an ar- Uele from the news columns of The Star. In the introduction thereto, Las Novedades says: “The article, as our readers will perceive, is couched in careful and conservative language, and appearing as it does in a Washington newspaper of such great prom- irence and supposed te be In elose touch with official sources, it may be regarded as peculiarly significant at the present time. ‘We are inclined to believe that the article is irtended as a reply to the recent hysterical eppeals for recognition, which have ap- in various of our contemporartes. Our Spanish cotemporary suffers from @ ~ THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES, bad case of misapprehension when it im- agirves that the news story in question was intended as a reply to the recent so-called “hysterical appeals for recognition.” If Teccgnition of the Cubans by the United States would be a really good thing for the Cuban cause, then The Star will give its aid to the consummation which many friends of Cuba deem important; if Cuban movement against Spain would be hamper- ed by some of the preliminaries to recogni- ticn—such as capturing and holding one of the principal cities—then The Star will do what it can im their behalf along other Ines. We do not sympathize with the Cu- ban patriots through ignorance. We know that Cuba has thirty representatives in the imrerial Cortes; we know that the forms of law are apparently respected in the deal- ings of the Spanish officials with the Cuban | people; we know that there is alleged to be freedom of speech and of the press and that by statute there is provision for free puklic assemblage. We also know that Spain's only interest in the island is a pure- ly selfish one, save perhaps for the pride which js felt in preserving the last remnant of Spanish monarchical power on a conti- nent where republican principles and prac- tices are almost supreme. American sym- pathy goes out to the Cubans quite natur- ally for the reason that they are striving to achieve a government of their own and that they are opposed by a nation whose faraway ruler claims the right to dictate, directly or indirectly, to millions because he was “born to the purple.” The ready-made morarch is quite unpopular in the United States. —__« +2 ____ The dilapidated something which is oc- cesionally referred to in a complimentary manner as “our Indian policy” will lose a few more of its rags unless the federal gcvernment sees to it that Indians receive just as much protection from the law as the law affords to white men. The Com- missiorer of Indian Affairs, in his annual report, calls attention to the fact that the white ruffans who, without shadow of reasonable excuse, maltreated the Ban- tack Indians who were hunting in the Jackson Hole country in Wyoming, have not as yet been even seriously threatened with the likelihood of purishment. Had the Indians been the aggressors the trials would have been over long ago. If the operations of law are to be controlled by racial prejudice, then the term “law” is a misnomer. —_——_ «s______ Among the many influences for good which have been potent in the District of Columbia one of the strengest has been the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, which is now engaged in locally celebrating its twenty-first birthday. Successful as the union's work has been, there is every rea- son for believing that in the immediate future it will fully accomplish some of the great moral reforms to which so many truly noble women have earnestly devoted themselves. —___++«_____ If Tammany really wants to have a good time at a convention it should see to it that People who are not in sympathy with its practices are rigidly excluded. Several of the tiger-feeders were very much annoyed at Syracuse yesterday, when, in response to the assertion of a Tammany speaker that Tammany had steadily upheld the de- mocracy for one hundred years, a well- informed disturber loudly inquired: “Who slaughtered Winfield Hancock?” —_—__++=_ Pension statisticians will, of course, take note of the fact that the number of those who draw pensions from the United States has increased about one thousand during the past year. It was supposed’ some months ago—ard Commissioner Lochren ex- pressed himself to that effect—that the limit had been reached and that henceforth steady reduction might be looked for. —_——_—_~e2-___ The next yacht race should be free from the obstructions which were complained of in the last.

He has studied medicine and has a habit of analyzing the ingredients of every medicine about which he 1s asked to write, refusing to write advertise- ments for medicines which he cannot indorse. He says of Ripans Tabulest “I bad the formula and went through it from the ground up. I found that every one of the ingredients was put 4m for some special purpose, and was good for the purpose intended. 1 have as much confidence in Ripans Taboles as I bave in anything I ever wrote about. I take them myself when I have eaten a little too much or feel nausea or symptoms of headache coming on, and I find them quicker to act than any medicine I ever took, I know some people who think they can't possibly get along without them, My wife went to call one @ay on some friends she bad known always. She found they swore by Ripaps Tabules. They did not know {hat she knew anything about them or that I bad written anything for them. By the way, if you swallow them properly you don't taste anything in the mouth. Swallow them quick enongh and you are all right. You can feel their action im the stomach almost immediately— @ very pleasant sensation.” ee eta ar LS ST Bae Cyemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New York. Sample vial, 10 cents.
