THE EVENING STAR has a regular 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. 7m order to avoid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should 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. = Quick Trialx and Their Fruits. With unprecedented ceterity a court of Alexandria yesterday indicted, tried and sentencel to death a youth who had com- mitte}, on Monday, a serious offense in*that community. Doubtless much of the haste sh-wn by the legal officers of the city was inspired by a belief that a lynching spirit was abroad, and that the lad might be hanged by a mob in the event of any de- lay. While the punishment may seem severe, yet a wholesome lesson is probably tauzht by the quick and comparatively eco- nomical trial, which completely tisfied the agitated residents, and the verdict of which, if the evidence were reliable, was quite in accordance with the facts. It is believed that many of the lynchings that occur in the south are due to the impatience felt by the people at the law's delays, and it was but a few months ago that in a more southern stdte mob violence was pre- vented by th> promise of the local judge to hy a special term of court to try the pris- crer against whom the anger of the citi- zecis had beev excited, If Alexandria should show as much enterprise and determination in the matter of ridding itself of the nest of thieves, thugs and gamblers now menac- ing not only the city down the river, but the capital of the nation, even more good would be accomplished and the fair name of the region across the Potomac would be spared from much ill repute abroad. —_——_ + += ‘The European Situation European politics cont:nue to present vary- ing phases. The war scare in London over the supposed Russian advances in China has been exploded on the receipt of news that the early reports from Hong Kong were erroneous, but Great Er‘tain is still en the alert lest there should be enough truth in these reports of Russian aggrandizement cn the Asiatic coast to threaten seriously the British dominance in that region. Mean- while the Turkish situation reaches an acute stage once mere, and reports of fresh mas- sacres are recetyed to indicate that the Sul- tan has either lost his control over his sub- jects or else has beet: deliberately leceiviag the European powers by his pretended de- sire to institute reforms. Intelligence comes from Constentinople that the Sultan is in fear of his fe and has become practically a negative factor in the administration of the affairs of the nation. The same reasons that influenced Great Britain in assuming an offensive attitude against Russia for Asiatic accéssions of territory and in‘luence prev.il in the case of Turkey. The difficulty that at present exists in France ov southern railway scandals, culminating in a resignation of the ministry, is not spt to have a marked effect upon the gereral Eu- Fopean situation, although it indica:es that the French republic is at all times subject to political upheavals on account of domestic matters, whereas, in the Light of the recent Madagascar cainpaign, it appears that there 4s little disposition to quarrel with the ininis- try because of an aggressive foreign policy. ——__+ «<.. —__ More Railway Shortsightedness. Yesterday's accident at Eckingion shows how the grade-crossing evil spreads when once it has become established, This pop- ulous suburb is really a continuation of ‘Washington, and yet it has absolutely no More protection from rapidly moving trains than any cow pasture in the farming dis- tricts. There should be gates and flag- men at every road ing the tracks all along the populous region traversed by this road, and until such facilities are pro- vided the slaughter and maiming con- tinue, to the exasperation of the people and the expense of the corporation that, with a false notion of economy, refuses to provide these means of preventing acci- dents. Doubtless the sums annually paid by the railroads for damages would quite cover the expense of maintaining complete systems of road protectioa, with a com- fortable margin over. % —_ + ___ Keep the Latches Down. Sneak thieves are growing bolder as the mercury falls into winter's ranges, and the householders of the District must take the usual precautions against visitations from the light-fingered folks. A stout latch on each outer door will discourage a great ma- jority of these unwelcome attentions, for few of the hat and ccat thieves are men of rerve, nor do they belong to the ranks of More serious offenders, such as burglars. The ease of pitfering is the main incentive for front-hall stealings. These offenses arg, most frequent at the dinner hour, when the upper portions of the house are untenanted, and a moment of carelessness may result in the loss of a hundred dollars’ worth of progerty that could have been easily saved by operating a fifty-cent latch. The police cannot be held responsible for the fre- quency of thee robberies as long as un- Iccked front doors invite the light-fingered passe-s-by to help themselves, rs The citizens of New Orleans are already planniag a celebration of the ceatennial of the Louisiana purchase from France. The project includes an expos‘tion to be held at the Crescent City in 1:03, and thus up- wards of eight years’ time is allowed for the enterprise to ripen. One of the local publications now booming the proposition de lires that the exper‘ence of Atlanta this yeur, of Baltimore in 1807, and of Pasjs in 1900 will be of great value to New Orleans, and will prevent any possibility of failure. It must be remembered that the success of such a project depends not alone upon its management, but upon the appetite of the peopte for such shows. A great exposi- tion every two or three years may prove to be more than the country can stand. -ee - -—— rain, there were no men at work today on the city post-office. Had the walls been finished and roofed over, as should have been the case months ago, at Jeast two hundred men might have labored onthe interior finishings. —_— 2 __—_ Mr. Coxey, Jr., by going to Cuba to do his fighting, creates the glad hope that his family has concluded that this country is fertile territory for raising cain. > «> _-___ Thirty Days’ Useless Delay. It is unfortunate that urder the law granting the District Commissioners power to make police regulations they are com- pelied to give thirty days’ notice to the steam railroad companies of their order compelling all trains to stop before cross- ing id-transit street-car lines. The grade- ted many years, with evils and the outcry them. The steam roads have in the past shown no consideration whatever for the people or for the authorities, and it is indeed a waste of mercy now to grant them grace for such a period, when full ccmpliance with the order ne only a few hours of preparation on the part of the several transportation companies en- tering the y. With the complete tele- graphic equipment ready at hand, and the perfect organization to carry out in every detail the orders of the railroad authorities, the Commissionefs’ regulation might with perfect ezse and without the least extra hardship have been put into complete effect last Monday, the order having been signed Saturday. The next thirty days thus need- lessly elapsing before an enforcement of the order may be expected to produce sev- eral accideni Indeed, the situation is such that the Commissioners would prob- ably be justified in requiring obedience to the regulation at the outset, holding this to be an emergency warranting the abroga- tion of the thirty-day clause. The clause was intended to prevent surprises by the local authorities, to give every one af- fected by new regulations a chance to be informed and to comply, but there is no need of such consideration in the case of three or four great corporations, reached by letter within a few hours, and already thoroughly informed of the state of affairs. —___ ++ + ___ The Anncostia Strike. Public sympathy will generally be ex- tended to the striking employes of the Ana- costia railway if they preserve order and stard upon thelr demand fer living wages, but that sympathy will surely be with- drawn if the men resort to viclence or per- mit their friends to commit overt acts while the railroad company is endeavoring, as it hae a perfect right, to operate the read. The men won the former strike because the citizens were on their side. The people of Anacostia refused to patron- ize the line as long as the company in- sisted upon maintaining starvation wages, and this influence proved a powerful aid to the employes. It is unfortunate that the community across the river should be so harassed by the frequent failure of its means of transportation, and the burden of responsibility upon those who order a strike is the greater because the towns- people are forced to depend upon one line. if the residents of Anacostia had any other means of getting into the city the case would be far different, but the striker as- sumes a grave responsibility in any casc whenever he interferes with any public agency, whatever may be iis final value to its patrons. ——> ¢ = ____ A Welcome Storm. ‘The skies have opened and the rain, so long delayed and so sadly needed, has come at last. There was an immediate and press- ing demand for the rain in the forest fires in this vicinity, especially in the Hock Creek Park, the chief beauty of which de- pends upon its trees. This blaze had yes- terday assumed serious proportions and menaced not only the park itself, but the surrounding property. But in addition the rain has brought relief to the farmers, the manufacturers and thousands of interests affected by the great water famine. The Grouth has been felt not only in this region but nearly the entire area of the United States, and the present storm is general enough and promises to last sufficiently long to encourage a belief that the costly dry spell has at last been broken. If this be the case, the country is to be congratu- lated, and it will approach Thanksgiving Day in the mood to fully appreciate the meaning of the occasion. —___ ++. __—_. ‘The wet weather means another day or so of delay in the completion of the post office building, but mere matters of weeks, days and hours are trifles in this magnifi- cent study in time-consumption. es Mr. Altgeld is evidently familiar with that oid principle in politics—that it costs nothing to refuse what you cannot get, and may make a good impression. —___+e = —--_—_ John L.

The Vagaries of Fate. One fertur.e shrinks while others swell, Some laugh while others serrcw; One man must purchase his umbrell, While others only borrow. All Sorts, “This country wants to show more con- sideraticn toward its trusted servants,” said the man who objects to the cartoonist. “Yes,” was the reply—“but the difficulty is that some of them are sugar-trusted servants.” Well Planned. “Jeremiah,” said the candidate's wife, “do you think your campaign has been success- “Well,” replied he, after figuring for two or three minutes on the margin of a news- paper, “I guess it's about as successful so far as the most of ‘em. If I am elected my saiary during my term of office will come within a few hundred dollars of paying the expenses I have incurred. A Comparison of Courtesies. I done had er compliment f'om Mr. *Rastus Pinkley,” said Miss Sophronia JIcnes. “Did yer, sho’ ruff?” was the somewhat contemptuous rejoinder from Miss Eu- phemia Snowflake. “Yassindeed. Mistah 'Rastus Pinkley jes’ Gone remzhk ter me dat I didn’ put ‘im in mind of nuffin but sweet sixteen.” “Go ‘long Dat ain’ wuf ’scussin’ long er whut he done tol’ me. He said he'd rather hab me comin’ roun’ dan seben-lebben.” The School Girl. A-down the street she gaily goes, This happy, careless maiden, With ceeks which might outblush the rose And lips with laughter laden. I: is not what this fair one knows ‘That renders ker so charming, Although a store she might disclose Of classic lore elarming. But she kas not yet learned to wear A hat with monstrous feather To theater, while strong men there All gnash their teeth together. She doesn't ridg a wheel as yet, Nor run to “modern” humors; She hasn't started out to get Herself a pair of bloomers. She rever halts to lend an ear To salesmen's guileful jargon; She doesn’t want to try whate’er She sees that's labeled “bargain.” Sweet school girl, let the others aim At queenliness and station; - Your triumph sure rests on the claim Of unsophistication. | | own strips!
