ar THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895—-TWELVE THE EVENING STAR. sults of this work will be a reorganization | WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY..........November 14, 1895. CROSBY S. NOVES...............-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 no competitor. ln order to oid delays, 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 De; = ments, according to tenor or purpose. An Unwise Course. The Commissioners will blunder if they persist in breaking up immediately the open- air market on the south front of the Center Market building. The offer of the market company to relinquish Its system of taxing the farmers who occupy places along the curb should be accepted by the Commission- ers as preventing even the slightest weak- ening of their claim to the territory in dis- pute through its occupation by the farmers. If they should insist upon a removal of this retail produce exchange to the mud-hole a block away before it is improved they will unnecessarily bring down upon them the protests of thousands of men and women who at present depend upon these outdoor stalls for a part of their supplies, as well as of all citizens who love fair play. If any in- jury to the street or to the surrounding business interests, or to the public health, should be demonstrated as a result of a con- tinued use of the street in this manner the case would be different, but as it now stands the Commissioners have the appearance of stubbonly adhering to all the details of a preconceived plan, merely because it has been formed, regardless of the public or private inconveniences entailed, and un- mindful of the public benefit to be derived from a slight modification of the plan, not involving any sacrifice of principle. Major Powell is reported as saying that the Com- missioners cannot be expected to discrim- inate between the farmers, giving some more favorable stands than others. It Is well understood that the haymarket square, even if improved, would not accommodate all of the farmers who come to town to sell their products, and thus an overflow into the street west of the market building is an- ticipated, and the right or propriety of the farmers’ use of the street, provided their occupation ts not permitted to become a nuisance, is thereby, affirmed by the Com- missioners, How the discrimination en- tailed by this separation is to be accom- plished is not certain, though the suggestion is made that the farmers are to be classed as wholesalers and retailers, and divided ac- cordingly. This classification could not be expected to prove definite, as the farmers would soon adjust their own affairs so as to be entitled to the most favorable designa- tion and reap the benefits of such a segrega- tion. If in any event some of the farmers are to use part of B street, why not, at least for the present, permit the use, under proper regulations, of that section of the street which is most convenient both to them and to the purchasing public? All of these farm- ers should be charged a small fee, to be used for the policing and cleaning of the occupied street. Why should not the District con- tinue the business, just as it 1s, assuming the role of landlord, so long occupied by the market company, until the legal question at issue has been settled and until it has its haymarket property in a condition to attract | tenants? ————_+ ++ ___. Wholesome Prosecutions. Those dealers in oleomargarine and but- terine who have been selling those products as butter and receiving for them the higher prices brought by the genuine article are about to reap the harvest of their illegiti- mate trading. According to the article that appears in The Star today the recent assault upcn them by butter dealers and the authorities promises to be wholly suc- cessful, and there seems to be no chance of escape for the violators of the law, who have recently grown very bold in their op- erations. What with civil suits by mer- chants whcse brands of butter have been imitated and with criminal prosecutions by the local and national authorities, the pros- pect Is favorable for such a raid on the bogus butter business thac In a very short time this product will not be offered for sale except in its own name. The Star is gla& that the treasury officials have under- taken and conducted such a vigorous cam- paign against the frauds, for the depart- ment will prove a powerful ally in this effort to maintain the law regulating the sale of these products. The District offi- clals, too, have been active and have un- covered impositions that will doubtless be Severely punished? The civil sults will be very interesting, as they bear directly upon the right of the legitimate dealer to pro- tect his custom, and upon the extent to which the individual purchaser may ob- tain redress for fraud practiced upon him when he buys the bogus article under the impression that he 1s getting the genuine, and pays the price of the latter. ——_+«+-__ _ Congratulations are due to the Board of Trade upon Its selection of a president in the person of Mr. S. W. Woodward, who will bring to the office the energy that has characterized his career as a business man. He will prove a worthy successor to the retiring president, Mr. B. H. Warner, who has labored faithfully In the best in- terests of the city through the organiza- tion at the head of which he has served with conspicuous ability and success. Mr. Woodward long ago became a thorough Washingtonian, and understands the needs of the city so well that an intelligent and aggressive administration may be expected from him. ek There are friendly suggestions to the ef- fect that Mr. Bayard is not as diplomatic in his relailons with this country as he might be. —___~+ e+ It might be well to amend the proclama- tion so as to base the thanksgiving upon the prosperity that the country Is going to have. ——__++<+— Ex-Superintendent Byrnes should not have accepted his vindication without a Guarantee of permanency. —~ e- There is every reason to believe that several styles of turkey are engaged on a farewell strut. 22 The Teachers’ Bazaar, Few ent ment projects deserve such hearty support from the people of Washing- ton as the teachers’ bazaar to be held in this city In December, whtch fs intended to swell the tund for the relief of the infirm and su- perannuated workers in the public schools. ‘The present preparations indicate that the Great fatr will be unusually attractive on it: own merits, but it will be doubly so to those who appreciate the noble motives that un- derlie the enterprise. Last evening The Star printed an Interview with one of the teachers interested in the bazaar who cited several cases of the kind that the relief fund is to reach and remedy, and the showing made, Incomplete though It was conceded to be, should convince every er of the ur- gent need of whole-souled, enthusiastic work in ald of this thy cause. The ordinary impulses of ay athetic humanity are in this case strengthened by moro saltish mo- tices, which should actuate every rent and taxpayer In the community to lend a hand to add to the fund, for one of the direct re- 1 of the teaching corps by the retirement of infirm yet faithful Instructors of the young whose continuation in the work is a drag on the efficiency of the public school system. The teachers themselves are conscious of their failing powers, and their realization of the injustice to the children of further ser- vice impels them to retire in favor of younger and more active men and women, but the prospect of poverty is too dreadful for them to face, so they remain on the lists year after year, losing ground with each Successive appointment, until they die in harness or, happier result, until they are re- Neved by their associates. The latter al- ternative is now just becoming possible. The fund of the association is wisely guarded from encroachments or use until it has reached a certain sum below which it would not be safe to begin the work of pro- viding annuities. It is to bring this fund up to the required point that the present bazaar is to be held and so the success of the great entertainment means the immediate com- mencement of the relief work. This fact alone ought to ensure a liberal patronage. $< ¢ —__ Assessment and Excine. The Board of Trade shculd actively press the proposition submitted in the annual re- port of its committee on taxation looking to a separation of the assessment and ex- cise duties of the present board of citizens who are by law burdened with both. The Star has never favored this mistaken method of saving money by amalgamating two widely distinct functions, to the pos- sible detriment of both performances. The recently submitted annual report of the District assessor Indicated very clearly that the work of adjusting the real estate taxable values was far too heavy during the past year for the board. In addition to this heavy task,there was imposed the en- tire work of adjusting the many difficult ex- cise problems, which in other cities give ample occupation in themselves to larger organizations. The complete dissimilarity of the two functions suggested at the in- ception of the act of August 14, 1804, that the legislation prorosed would not be as Leneficial to the District as though two separate boards were provided, each with complete jurisdiction over its field. The desire for this separation Is based upon the same reasoning which then suggested Itself. There is no complaint on the ground that the present members cf this dual board have failed in their performance of eithar duty, for they have wrought faithfully, to the full extent of their physical power, and to the entire satisfaction of a great ma- jority of the people in both lines. ——_++2_____.
