A great many people in this vicinity are interested in the cases of Messrs. Warner and Meloy, who have recently been en- deavoring to compel the courts of Mary- land to recognize their right to vote in that state based upon their residenc> and ownership of property there. In the nature of things it Is to be expected that many who do business in Washington should pre- fer the quiet of country life to residence in the city and should go over the borders of the District into Maryland in search of homes surrounded by more ground than could be easily obtained within the city limits. Again it is true that many Mary- landers should be attracted to the city for business purposes while retaining their residences in the country and thus there is established a large and growing class of citizens who are unquestionably entitled to the privilege of votigg In the state of Maryland yet who spend a certain part of their time here either In the pursuit of their business or for purposes of social advantages in the winter season. Messrs. Warner and Meloy, like all the people in- dicated who hav2 more or less int2cest in the District, are taxpayers in Maryland and are identified with the interests of the state. The decision of the judge at Rock- ville compelling the placing of Mr. War- ner’s name on the registration list is emi- nently just and is based upon a sensible interpretation of the facts and the law, but Mr. Meloy, with a longer residence in Marylard than Mr. Warner, had poor for- tune in his encounter with the courts and the result fs that two contrary judicial opinions are delivered on exactly similar premises in different parts of the state. ‘There is no question, even momentary, as to which of these two decisions is just and proper and if the court of appeals of the state, to which both cases will probably be carried, should do its full duty in the matter the Rockville decision will be af- firmed while the Mariboro’ decision will be overruled. Judge Lynch, who fs known as a lawyer of ability and high character, planted him- self upon higher ground than mere parti- san considerations. He held that the right of citizenship is cne that should not be dealt with by the narrowest construction of the law; that the statutes were made for the purpose of protecting voters and not to protibit them from the exercise of the elective franchise; that it was not neces- sary to reside twelve months continuously in the state or to remain any particular time, providing the entered into in good faith. This decision is not only in accordance with justice, but in the best interests of the state; for the state wants of all things to encourage men of energy, character and wealth to become citizens and help her on in the line of progress and prosperity, as Mr. Warner and others have so effectively done. —___-+ «+—____. Remedy for International Matches. ‘The forthcoming marriage of Miss Vander- bilt to the Duke of Marlborough has revived all the old-time feeling of protest against these unions of American money and foreign titles that is cherished by many kinds of people on this side of the ocean. One in- Gustrious chap in New York took the trou- ble the other day to go back and count up these occasions and to total the fortunes that are said to have been exported in pay- ment for the dubious honor of acquiring a matrimonial Men on a coronet or some uther form of arbitrary human distinction. He found that in twenty-five years no less than ene hundred and twenty-five American wo- men with fortunes aggregating $161,153,000 have married princes, counts, earls, barons, dukes, marquises, “honorables,” “right “honorables” or “sirs.” This would seem to indicate that this enormous sum of mill- ions had been transported bodily over to Europe. The impression given by such a statement Is apt to get twisted, and to lead many unthinking folks to disclaim against this “injustice,” and to cry aloud for legis- lation to prevent the flow of fertune away from these shores. The fact is that tnese figures are in very many cases exaggerated and that the real money is invested in home securities while only the interest, and in some cases not even that, goes abroad. Kut what jf the whole $161,153,000 has gone over the water? What can we do about it? A aw to prevent the marriage of a man who has no living wife to a woman who has no living husband and against whose union there is no other obstacle is among the inventions yet to be achieved and no man can today devise it with justice and a ghost of a chance of its being enforced. The only remedy is for American men to show the American girls that the nobility of true manhood is het- ter, more lasting and more self-supporting than that so-called nobility which springs from the scandals of departed courts, and that represents today the last stage of a rapidly passing form of social organiza- tion. —_—++=____ It is gratifying to see at the Atlanta ex- Position, and on all corresponding occa- sions, the pleasure which the negro in this country takes in showing that he is not an oppressed and unprogressive member of so- clety. ——+++_____ Mr. Chandler cannot be intending to es- tablish a regular tocsin-and-alarum depart- hhent in opposition to the foreign news en- terprise which has been a noticeable feature of current journalism. ————- +. __.

See Registry Frauds Uncovered. By an ingenious yet simple plan the gen- uine reformers of Baltimore nave absolutely demonstrated that the registration of voters in that city is largely dishonest. A suspicion to this effect has obtained ever since the registry lists were closed and the committee on elections of the Baltimore Reform League endeavored to obtain absolute evidence of fraud. To this end registered letters were. sent through the maus to certain persons whose names were on the registry lists, fol- lowing the addresses given by them in answer to the official questions. One of the rules of the post-office department is that a registered letter is never delivered without sceipt being given signed by the ad- or his duly authorized proxy. This ly insured the proper delivery of every one of these letters in every case where the person addressed could be located. Out of 1,152 registered letters sent to the residences of would-be voters only 1) per- sons were found to receive the letters, and of this pumber the committee has reason to suspect at least one hundred as fraud- practle: residence had been} ulent, leaving ninety presumably fair voters out of nearly twelve hundred. In the public report made by the league of ihe results of this investigation tables are given showing exactly where these frauds have been found to exist by designated houses. One list of thirty-three residences to which the registry lists accredited from four to seventy-two voters apiece shows that out of 692 alleged residents the postal officials found but ninety-five. In one house where forty voters were registered but one was found, while the same percentage of dis- crepancy continued throughout the list. Another list of eighteen houses is given showing a total registration of 140 voters to each of whom a letter was sent, yet not a single letter was delivered owing to the failure of the carriers to find the persons to whom the letters were addressed or to find any trace of them whatever. No more con- clusive evidence of fraud could possibly be obtained. There is no partisanship, ap- parently, in this investigation, the desire of the committee being to demonstrate that the registration of the city’s voters is this year, at least, unworthy of confidence. It-is prob- able that the committee picked out the places where it was known or suspected that colonization was being carried on, and thus the percentage of fraud demonstrated tray be greater than actually exists through- out the city. But even under such circum- stances the discovery that only from fifteen to eight per cent, approximately, of the registration in this quarter was honest is startling. —_—_ > _____ Sewers and Grade Crossings. ‘As long as the projectors of the new elec- tric line between Washington and Baltimore are disposed to avoid grade-crossings in en- tering the city the engineer department of the District government should be willing to surrender a trifle In the preparation of sewer plans and enable the rajlroad to be built in @ way that will prevent the accumulation of trouble in the future. The present disagree- ment between the railroad company and the Commissioners over the Rhode Island ave- nue sewer would seem to be unnecessary. A very little change in the line of this sewer would obviate the necessity of the electric Une crossing the steam road tracks on a level, and if the capitalists of the new line are willing to go to the expense of a bridge or a “cut-under” they surely should be al- lowed to do so. It is not a question of prior- ity of the charter as against the preparation of the sewer plans or anything of that sort. It is the consideration of safety that should actuate the Commissioners in taking this reasonable step to prevent the establishment of a dangerous crossing. In view. of their recent order the Commissioners can hardly desire to add to the evils now existing here, especially when it is considered that the crossing at Rhode Island avenue will doubt- less be one of the most dangerous in the District, if.the two lines of rapid-transit cars are forced to cross at grade. In such a case the electric road should be regarded in the same light as a steam road, for its cars cre intended to be run at speeds that are to rival those of the other company. ——__+ e+ ——_ Two Excellent Regulations. It is, of course, gratifying that the Com- missioners should accept the suggestion made in these columns in regard to the proper rule to he adopted in the case of the stops of rapid-transit Street-cars at street- crossings. Yet any decision of the question would be beneficial in view of the present mixed-up state of affairs. The wisdom of the “near side” rule, which has been from time to time advocated by The Star, appeals to all who stop to think over the advantages of having the rapidly-moving trains stop be- fore crossing streets, and the new police regulation, which, it is understood, will re- quire observance of this rule, will place this city still farther ahead than ever in the ranks of modern cities by ensuring a de- gree of safety in the streets enjoyed by few communities in these days of cable and electric cars. The Commissioners have done another excellent thing in deciding to adopt a regulation limiting the speed of bicycles, although it will be a difficult task to enforce this rule strictly. Few riders have any ac- curate notion of speed, in the first place, and quite as few policemen, yet the chief difti- culty is not one of judging the offense. It les in the chance that few violators of the law can be caught. To counteract this ad- vantage that the reckless wheelmen now Possess the courts should see that the maxi- mum pehalty ts enforced whenever a person is found riding a wheel beyond the lawful rate. A few convictions and punishments will soon convince wheelmen that “'scorch- ing” is unprofitable. ——__ 2 e = -__, — A Cry Against Long Campaigns. The Star is in receipt of a copy of the memorial recently adopted by the Cleveland chamber of commerce praying the two great parties to shorten the national political cam- raign. It is a convincing document and should préduce an effect for the benefit of the commercial interests of the country. ‘There is not an organization of business men in the United States that cannot consistent- ly subscribe to such a plea, and indeed the reasons that actuate them in their opposition to a long campaign should appeal strongly to the sensibilities of the workingmen who, through their trade societies and unions, could easily exercise a great influence upon the solution of the question put by the Cleve- land business men. The memorial declares: “The commerce of the country has not yet fully recovered from the effect of a com- mercial and financial depression caused largely by the agitation incident to the last presidential campaign, and experience has shown that the trade interests of our coun- try are forced into an unsettled condition by the attending excitement of a national po- litical contest; such a condition is threatened by the campaign of 18%."" No successful denial of these assertions is possible, and the campaign managers would do well to give attention to them. —___+ = —____ Some of the people most interested are disposed to regard South Carolina's pro- posed electoral qualifications as an unmit- igated film-flai se The Durrant case and the Holmes case terminate just when the newspaper space they occupied is no longer desired for cam- paign purposes. —__ + e+____ Once agair. the inclement weather has in- terfered with progress on the city post-office building.

From the Baltimore American. It is a discredit to the government that the printing office in Washingfon should be allowed to continue in such an unsafe condition. There is always a possibility of another catastrophe such as that which threw Washington into mourning only a few years ago. The incoming Congress should deal with the matter promptly. —_——__~ e =____ Presto, Change! From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Peanuts are said to be very scarce.

A mob of Mussulmans massacred more than one hundred and fifty Armenians in the Baiburt district; at Erzinjan several hundred Armenians were killed. An earth- quake caused a panic in Rome. Cardinal Fores, archbishop of Seville, died. In the District. A grade-crossing railroad accident, which, however, did not happen to result in the less of human life, occurred ai the R street crossing of the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. A delivery wagon was struck by an engine, killing the herse, the driver and boy who were the only occupants of the wagon making a marrow escape. All steam railroad trains will be required by a police regulation is- sued during the week by the Commissioners to come to a full stop before crossing a street occupied by rapid-transit cars. Owing to the refusal of the men to agree to a scale of wages fixed by President Grts- wold of the Anacostia street railway, the running of the cars was stopped by the ccmpary, and the next day the operation of the road was resumed under police pro- tection. Scenes approaching violence oc- curred along the line of the road, and cars were thrown from the track. By an order issued by the Metropolitan railroad the issue of free transfers with the Eck!ngton and Belt roads was stopped. It is stated that the Commissioners have practically decided to embody in the new police reg- ulations an order compelling rapid-transit Street railroads to stop their cars on the near side of street crossings. In the case of a saloon keeper charged with receiving stolen property information was laid be- fore the district attorney to the effect that an attempt had been made‘to corruptly jn- fluence the jury.
