THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY................0etober 18, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regainr and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters tv THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, hut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorin! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — = Home Rule in the Case. It is doubtless the sincere hope of every local Episcopalian that there may be no truth in the rumor that the newly-created @locese of Washington may possibly be filled by an outside appointment. Such a rumor is in circulation at Minneapolis, where the triennial convention is being held, and there is as yet no refutation of the notion which It conveys, that, owing to the importance of the newly established territory, the choice of a bishop should not be limited to the local candidates, but that the whole field of American dioceses should be thrown open for the selection. This might be a reasonable suggestion if the local diocese were poorly equipped with men of talent and qualifications. But, on the contrary, the pastors of Washington’s churches are of exceptional capacity, and, indeed, it is to be doubted whether there Is a city in this country that can produce a gathering such as that which assembles on stated occasions in the District to discuss the affairs of the local Episcopal Church. ‘The home rule principle is quite as appli- cable to religious administration as to gov. ernment, ‘and in the present case there should be a strenuous insistence by the Washington clergy and laity that this rule be followed. While there is no danger that the interests of the Washington diocese would suffer in the hands of a bishop ap- pointed from without, or chosen by other than local votes, the influence of a prece- dent for home rule now established would be very wholesome indeed. The Contractors Are Not Wholly at Fault. It will not do for the Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury to say that the centractors on the city post-office building are eld fo a strict compliance with the terms of their obligations. The history of this building is filled with instances of neglects and delays on the part of the con- tracting firms that have been visited, ap- parently, with no disciplinary measures by the Treasury officials. Had every contrac- tor been held to his bargain the great struc- ture would be far more advanced than it is today and the probable date of its com- pletion would not remain a mythical date, as it does at present, notwithstanding the gran- ite promise in Roman numerals that the end will come in 1897. While the present fron contractors are doubtless very dilatory and their course has been exceedingly aggravat- ing, they should not be made to bear all the blame for the delay, which is largely + and primarily due to the neglect of the architect's office to let the contracts in am- ple season. Were this a commercial enter- prise it would have been completed in every particular months ago. If it were in the hands of a private architect and in the Present stage of erection it would swarm with workmen engaged in setting floors, filling in partition walls and completing the interior finish. It is an unpardonable exhi- bition of mismanagement to delay the con- tracts for these parts of the work until all the other sections of the structure have been fully completed. > «+ —_____ The Pingree Posy. Mayor Pingree is addicted to the bouton- niere habit which a number of other states- men of all degrees of eminence have prac- ticed with so much success in the attain- ment of notoriety. The mayor's devotion to the herbaceous adornment may be fraught with weighty results for the floral trade of this country. It is a matter of common but hitherto neglected Rnowledge that the potato plant produces a flower with no mean pretensions to aesthetic importance. Less stately than the sun- flower and less languishingly abandoned than the chrysanthemum, it has still a delicacy of color and a gentle grace of “form which makes it the rival of the prim- rose in its subtle appeal to the secker for the beautiful. It has been forgotten be- cause of the more practical product with which it Is associated; but, just'as great intellects have, in the midst of their sterner efforts toward utility, thrown off gems of poetic expression which would have stood alone as achievements had they not been overshadowed by more se- rious events, so the modest potato plant blossoms unnoted simply because we have been taught to esteem it for something else. Mr. Pingree will surely not neglect the potato blossom in his arrangement for bouquets and when he has introduced it to the notice of the world there is hope that it may bold a vogue with some of the far uglier horticultural products with which we decorate. —_——__-e-____ No longer deterred by a fear that the underground system of electric street-car propulsion might prove a failure the Metro- politan company is going ahead with com- mendable energy to start the work on the main line of that road. The prospect is that the entire plant will be installed within the two years allowed by Congress. This achievement will mark the end of the era of horse cars in Washington, and the complete success of the Ninth street line will doubtless lead the legislators to de- mand of the only present survivors of the old style worthy of consideratien—the Belt road and its associate, the Eckington—a modernizing process in all their branches. —__+ ++ ____ The Sultan of Turkey is very much he- hind in the march of civilization. The unkept promise is growing less and less tolerable in internation#! dealings. ———__+-e+ . Twenty men were engaged in odd jobs at the city post-office today, but not one stroke of work was done on the building itself. —__ + «+ —__ A Cane of Police Inefficiency. Our police force, though inadequate in numbers, is, for its size, a very good one, but there are occasionally lapses from tts general efficiency. A well-dressed man was found unconscious in the street in a high! respectable section of the city last night Al! efforts to arouse him were vain, and he was bundled into a patrol wagon and sent to a police station. No medical attention was given to him there and he was classed as a ccmmon “drunk” and placed in a cell. Later it was discovered that he was froth- ing at the mouth and was evidently ill, and then the station officers began to look more clesely {nto the case. Instead of calling a physician, as they should have done at orce, they tried for two hours to restore cersciousness and failed. This indicates incompetence on the part of the patrolman who found the wan, and of mismanage- iment on the part of the as peliceman who cannot determine whether a man {s intoxteated or not should be In- structed to use common sense in such an eriergency. But lack of ability to deter- mine the exact condition of the man not excuse this officer for his action. If there were the least doubt in the world he should have stmmoned medica! attention THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1895—-SIXTEEN PAGES. at once, or, as an alternative, he should have had tne patient taken to the Emer- gency Hospitai, provided tor just such cases. Even if the man were drunk it would do no harm to have him first exam- ised by the physicians at the hospital. A person so thoroughly intoxicated as to be- come wholly helpless is a fit subject for care- ful attention, in any case. But there is no excuse for the failure of the station officers, upon discovering their original mistake, in neglecting to stmmon a police surgeon without delay. Had the man died while in a cell—where he should’ never have been placed—or while the amateur physicians were working over bim, they would have borre a very heavy responsibility. Not long ago a man suffering from excessive arirk died. in a police station cell in this city, and although the policemen tried to shift the responsibility upon a physician to the poor, who could not attend, and whose duties did not require his response to such a call, the public generally placed the bleme upcn the members of the force for not exhausting every professional means at hand before dosing the patient themselves. There is always a grave danger that a biurdering policeman will construe a case of severe illness into one of intoxication, ard it is far better to err by giving the patient too much consideration and atten- tion thar by neglecting him and perhaps endangering his life. — 0 Title to the Flats. Now that the decree of the Supreme Court of the District in the case of the title to the Potomac flats has been signed and formalities have been observed looking to an appeal to the highest jurisdiction, there should be no delay longer than the already crowded ccndition of the United States Supreme Court docket absolutely en- joins. The statute by which this case was referred to the District court for settlement provided that an appeal should be advanced to early hearing, so that the doubt resting on the government's title to the land, which by its expenditures it had reclaimed, should not operate ,to delay the great improve- ments that must be*tarried to a conclusion before Washington can be deemed free from the malarial influences of tide-covered lowlands. The same c&mplications affect- ing the tille to the Potomac flats are likely to arise when the government undertakes, as it should socn, the work of reclaiming the marshes of the Eastern Branch, which have too long menaced the health of the residents of the beautiful territory lying east of the Capitol. There is no fear that the final decision will be delayed beyond the time when an appropriation for this neces- sary object is made, as the complete vindi- cation of the government's contention is expected within a fey months, &nd there appears to be no probability that the next Congress can be persuaded to undertake this needful task. The conviction of Edward Conover in the Police Court yesterday on a charge of writ- ing policy Is a good thing for Washington. This man has been a persistent violator of the law and has heretofore shrewdly man- aged to keep out of jail. Now, however, he will suffer. for his defiance to the statute, and his punishment may serve as a warn- ing to the few remaining pecple of his kind. With the big gathering of spiritualists in Washington this week there Is a chance for some good medium to make money by calling up the shade of the late Judge Holt and finding out just what he did mean by that will, anyway. If Turkey does not manage to behave with a little more decency a sense of ordi- nary pride may compel this country to hold an ornithological convention to pro- vide for a rechristening of our respected Thanksgiving bird. —__+ e+ ____ England is reticent about accepting the Monroe doctrine. But as the Monroe doc- trine was not originally prepared for the purpose of gratifying the British critics, this is not a matter for either surprise or apprehension. —_ 0 =+____ Belva Lockwood has been very roughly dealt with during her presidential cam- paigns, and on other occasions, but this is the first time she was ever accused of dia- lect poetry. en The announcement that the Queen 6f Madagascar chews tobacco shows how the new woman idea Is in danger of being car- ried to an absurd extreme by the uncul- tured. > ¢ = —____ SHOOTING STARS.
