So THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY..............November 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. 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 ne competitor. In order to avoid delnyn, on ace count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individua} epnnected with the office, but simply to THE STAM, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpone. ——— The H Street Denth Trap. It was to be expected in all confidence that the grand jury, once it should ever official- ly inspect the death-trap on H street called by courtesy a printing office, would place upon It the seal of condemnation to swell the list of opinions against {ts further use. It is a pity that the jury could not have gene further to take some step toward compelling immediate abandonment of the dangerous sections of the building. Of course it is a gain to secure this strong en- dorsement of the public outcry against this menace to life and ilmb) yet the grand jury leaves the case exactly where it was before by recommending a corgressional investiga- tion. It may be that this will actually re- sult in a start being made in this direction, but all the investigations in the world will not demonstrate any new facts. The plain, simple and economical solution pf the whole matter Is to build a new printing shop at once, and to save the time and inoney ex- pended on an injury which would merely re- demonstrate the fact that the old building has for many years been unfit for use, and that its occupancy by the present tenants involves a terrible risk to hundreds of lives, not to mention great values in property. If the grand jury, without exceeding Its proper functions, could have instituted legal preceedings that would terminate at once the present use.of the building, much would have been gained and the chances of prompt action by Congress would be in- creased. But it does not appear that such powers rest with this body and its members have probably done all they could do under the circumstances while-feeling, doubtless, the fitness of further and more determina- tive action. This presentation by the jury should be laid before all the members of Congress in such a manner that they can- not avold realizing that the responsibility for any disaster that may occur rests firally and heavily upon them. 2 = —__—_ Justice Begina to See at Last. Yesterday the grand jury of the county ecurt of Alexandria found indictments against certain violators of the plain law against the maintenance of gambling re- serts that has been on the statute books many more months than the present dis- graceful state of affairs across the river has existed. The reason why these indict- ments have “been found so tardily is not officially apparent. It has been said, when- ever the officers of the county have been pressed for explapetigns, that ib was im- pessible to secure absolute and reitabie evidence ,of the. violation of any law. In this excuse the people of Washington have @never had any confidence. The case was too plain and the disgraceful disregard for the law was too open and apparent to jus- tfy even the least attention to the efforts of the officials to clear themselves of blame. But why should the trial of these offenders be postponed for several weeks? Their crime against morality was heavy and menacing, and yet they are granted time to prepare for their defense, to sur- rovnd themselves with shrewd attorneys, to cook up false testimony and to invoke every means to trick the courts and to evade their just punishment. The people of that vicinity showed the other day that they could force the wheels of justice to move with ‘a swiftness that was startling ard praiseworthy. Now let them show just as much consideration fer the rights of their neighbors as they did for themselves by compelling the courts to grant these ‘owners of' gambling hells as little grace as possible. —__ e+ _____ ‘To Keep Up With the Time. Modern: fashion 1s nothing if not novel. Old-time styles change with the seasons, yet even more uncertainly. ‘The elopement with the parental coachman was once o favorite form of social diversion, and only the other day a behind-the-times young w man in the far west was so old-fashioned as to unite her fortunes with the handler of the reins in her father’s establishment. She should have taken advantage of such a good chance to set a modern scyle and carry on a conclusive flirtation with her bicycle fustructor. ‘This functionary has comp!ately overshadowed the eoachman as a factor in domestic arrangements, and the new young woman cannot afford to ne: him. A few decades ago the style of proceed- ing that Corbett and Fitzsimmons have indulged in might have led some resolute governor to lock them up in the same jail and make the@ fight whether they wanted to or not. — Let the new post office building have full credit for its valuable qualities. It will be many, many years before there is any possibility of its being declared unsafe. —__+ «= —___ Seventy-one men only were at work today on the city post-office building. —_-+ «= __ The Danger of Secrecy in Divorces. For several years there has been in oper- ation in the District courts a practice that enables attorneys in divorce proceedings to cause the papers in all such cases to be kept Secret so that none but the barest facts concerning the applications become known. The purpose of this practice, which has the sanction of the courts, is to pre- vent undue publication of facts concerning this most painful of all suits, and to shield timid, shrinking women, justly seeking legal separation from unworthy or brutal husbands, from th2 distress incidental to such an expozure of their private lives and unhappiness. In this it is a humane pro- ceeding, and perhaps it has worked in y cases to the best advantage of the $s to such suits, But there has been me time a growing belief that per- L@ s the benefit to those directly interested in the cases is me an balanced by tain unforturate results that may spring from this policy of concealment. It ,is inent in their pro- very case of ap- and security from public: lures many a man or woman into a “for and obraining a divorce who otherw: would refrain from such a course. Th pprehend, at is to ine yS pri one re + which, while profita- s not of afvantage to the which is injured by every such ion of matrimoni: g the grave r and tending to lighten the thet, i burden of ould rest ¢ 2 union. lators on ‘ tke some provi- mis-mated couples under yet the constant ten- questio sion for voreii vocation, dency in this country, at least, is toward a reduction of the opportunities to secure such favors from tke courts. In many states there is but one cause for absolute divorce, while in others, notably the Dis- triet, there is a far wider range of reasons Tecognized by the law. Here there are seven. Hence if, under the operation cf this rule of practice, the papers are kept under lock in a divorce case, the grounds for the application being unknown, the public mind is left free to supply the omis- sion from its fertile imagination, and ex- perience proves that there is all too ready a tendency to suggest the worst offense and to ignore the chances of minor causes such as tne local law recognizes. In New York where the statute grants a divorce for but one cause, the rule of secrecy, there strictly enforced, operates merely to ke2p from the public view the intimate particu- lars df the unfortunate proceeding, while admitting the grounds without exposing the parties to the case to unnecessary pub- lic scrutiny. The courts or the public need have no fear that the newspapers will ever give ‘ave offense to the sensibilities of the community in taking advantage of an ab- rogation of this practice by publishing wn- recessarily personal details of such suits. Self-respecting journals will exclude from their columns all such matter as in the best interests of public decency should not de printed, while others seldom step widely beyond the bends of cleanliness, knowing it to be a disastrous enterprise. The news- papers can be safely entrusted with such of the facts in each case of that kind that the court itself must know in order to pass upon the application intelligently. Indeed it has been found that publication often serves the court, by bringing the issue to the attention of interested parties who may have been, accidentally or purposely, de- prived of information regarding the suit. In the interest of justice as well as of bet- ter marriages, ‘let the papers be made pub- lic and draw aside this veil of secrecy that now serves to whet the public appetite for gossip and to furnish a cloak for under- hand proceedings that should really be made widely known. —____ + ee __ Lord Salisbury's Deputy. Lord Salisbury may discover in time that he has erred in relegating the control of the Venezuela-America trouble to young Mr. Chamberlain while atteniing himself to the heavier departments of British diplo- macy. The Russian question may be trou- blesome, but it does not involve such possi- bilities as does a contempt for the Monroe doctrine and its present fitness, such as Mr. Chamberlain is understood to entertain. With all his cleverness, the secretary of state for colonial affairs is scarcely the right man te manage such a serious con- troversy as that in which the American position is heartily backed by nearly eighty millions of people, who have no particular love for Great Britain, and who have been so wearied in the past by luke-warm patri- ctism on the part of the men in power that they welcome the present manly stand of the administration with high favor. ———_+ + __- The grand jury's announcenient concern- ing the government printing office does not strike the community with the force of a discovery.

SHOOTING STARS. Her Preference. “Charley,” said young Mrs. Torkins, “this venture of yours into politics is going to cost you a good deal of money.” “Yes,” was the reply, “but I’m getting experience.” “I suppose 39," she rejoined, with a little sigh of resignation, “and experience is a great thing, I know, only my tastes don’t run that way. I'd rather have had a seal- skin coat and a trip to Europe.” Pot and Kettle. “You're pretty slow in going up,” remarR- ed the goverament printing office to the post office building, with a sneer. * “May be,” was the reply. “But I'm not as slow as you are ia coming down.” The Difference. The candidate again is here, With earnest speech that thrills; And This Is How He Promises, And this how he fulfills. No Use of Trying. “There is no use in trying to please every- beady,” remarked the Congressman. “You seem pessimistic.” “No; I'm merely resigned. I don’t expect any applause and so I won't be disappointed when I don’t get it. When you do nothing the public wants to know why you don't do something; and when you do sometiing they rise up in a chorus of indignation and want to know what In blazes made you.” For General Use.

From the New York Tribune. “So far as the Western world is concerned we must take it that the people of the United States have made up their minds, first of all, to prohibit—if need be, with bayonet and rifle—any extension whatever of Europzan domination between the North Pole and the South; and, secondly, that popular senti- rent in the United States {s more or less enthusiastically in favor of supporting any and every insurrectionary movement which has as its object the removal of a European flag from American soil.”—The Spea!
