THE EVEMISG STAR has a regulne aud permanent Family .Cireulat! mueh more than the combined cir- culation ef the other Washington Advertising Medium it hus no competitor. lm order to avoid deinys, on ac- count of personal nbacnee, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individuni connected with the office, but simply te TILE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- menta, according to tenor or purpes: For a District Code. There is cause for congratulation in the fact that so eminent a jurist as Judge Wal- ter S. Cox of the District Supreme Court bas accepted the invitation of the board of trade and the bar association to undertake the important and long-delayed task of couifying the District laws. No more com- petent coditler could he chosen and It ap- bears that the time hds at last arrived when the work of codifying the laws of the District will be’ seriously and intelligently taken up with the best prospects that the code, whenever completed, will receive the Stamp of legislative approval. The meeting of the hoard of trade held in March last at whi addresses were made by Judges Cole, Hagner, Kimball and Miller, started | the present practical movement and the committee appointed as a result of that meeting has lalored diligently since then to find a way out of the wilderness of com- mon ‘aw, local legislative enactments and congressional statutes. The decision of the committze to seek to persuade Judge Cox to undertake this task was followed by the approval of the bar association and by Judge Cox's acceptance. There is little danger that such @ thorough and scholarly ecdification as Judge Cox is sure to pro- duce will meet the fate of its several prede- cessors on the ground of incompleteness or insufficiency, for he is thoroughly well ac- quainted with the great mass of incon- &ruous provisions of our law and the de- cisions of our courts, and his labors will undoubtedly be acceptable to the people of the District and im all probability to Con- gress. It is to be hoped that Washington will speedily be relieved of its burden of contradictory, confused, obsolete and obso- lescent enactments, and provided with a modern, comprehensive code of laws. ——+ e = The New Speed Regulation. The new policé ‘regulation concerning the speed and stops of street-cars within the city, which was promulgated by the Com- misstoviers Saturday, grants an increase of a mile an hour to, the rapid-transit line thus compromising with the request of one of the roads to run at the rate of twelve miles. Lt is a wise provision to require that the rate of speed of cars crossing the strevis shall not be greater than five miles an hour, for this reduces the danger of accidents v considerably. If the rapid-transit cars are so thoroughly under control .at all times that ais reduction by half in the speed of the car at.crassings can be insured, a specd of ten miles an hour elsewhere may not be objectionable. ‘The regulation regarding the near-side stops of cars is somewhat loosely drawn and there is a trifle too much vagueness in the exception that “where the mechanical appliances make it impracti- cable for it to do so” the car need not be stopped at the near stde. In a regulation that may form the basis for prosecutions this is too indistinct an exception and should be expanded and explained so that the pub- lic as well as the roads themselves and the courts before whieh possible cases of vi lation are to be carried may know exactly the nature and extent of the mechanical dif- ficulty authorizing the company to ignore the near-side rule... +, —__++e____ Colin's “Patriots of America.” The author of “Coin” has started a new party, headed by himself, with its subordi- nate officers named by himseif, and with i's principles dictated by bimseif. Indeed it looks at the start as thorgh he were the party. Of course the dominating doctrine is free silver. Anything less than such a platform from “Coin” would be a miracle of conversion. Secondary to this is the de- sire of the “Patriots of America” to elim- inate sellishness from politics. Then the “party” gives earnest of his own unseltish- ness by providing tn his constitution that no officer of the national organization shall accept any elective or appointive office, nor shall he acquire a property of more than $100,000. Such voluntary self-sacrifice is sel- dom encountered Im modern times. Of course if is a small matter that the chances of the “Patriots" ever growing to such strength as to eleet one of themseives to national office are infinitesimal. That ts nother story. The fact remains that the “party” Las eschewed wealth for himself— beyond $100,000—and power, and asks only for votes for free coinage. —_—__ + =] ____ Herr Ahlwardt’s unpleasant experience in New York, on the occasion of the first speech in his anti-Hebrew campaign In this country, has doubtless forced him to azree with Ambassador Bayard that the people of the United States are turbulent and un- truly.

Receipts and Expenditures. Secretary Carlisle’s report, submitted to Congress todey after an unusual delay cf a fortnight, commands wide attention from the fact that the President's messi although so largely devoted to a discus: of financial matters, was absolutely silent on the failure of the government's reve- mues to meet the current demands upon the treasury. There has uever been a doubt of the fact that a defictency would be created by the close of the fiscal year, but mo certain krowledge of its extent was obtainable. The year is now nearly half gone, and the Secretary estimates that the deficit will aggregate $17,000,000 by July 1, 1896, or over $25,000,000 less than that which was created tn the fiscai year just passed. The Secretary goes further, to sustain his declaration that there is no nee‘ of revenue legislation, and estimates that the fiscal year 1807 will produce a surplus of very nearly $7,000,000, or a gain of approximately @s much over the current year as tt is esti- mated wili be shown by this fiscal year over that of 18%. Thus it is readily seen that Mr. Carlisle has adopted a system of estimating that is based on a fixed scale of increas venue. The main item of increase is naturally found in the customs and internal revenue receipts, which together were about $25,580,000 in the aggregate in the fiscal year 1995, and are estimated to be 3$330,000,000 in 1896, and $360,000,000 in 1897. Here the scale of pro- Portionate advance plainly app The expenditures for 1805 were $435, t7! GAS, as Against an estimate of $48,007,107 Cor 189 and $457,881,193.92 for 1897, the latter figure being the total ef the estimates already submitted. In the Nght of the President’s refusal to recommend revenue legislation this show- ing ef a probatle surplus was generally expected. The figures will almost certainty be subject to great criticism by the ad- } vocates of such enactments, and the tariff question appears likely 19 become promi- rent at once. The Seeretary, to be sure, makes the bulk of his report bear n the recommendation that -he present evils that beset tae treasury throush its gold reserve should be reme tied by a permanent retirement of tne gol draining greenbacks and similar of , but his deliverance on this subject lacks novelty. He first Bave utterance to the podley-and the rea- sons animating it in his Chamber uf Com- merce speech in New York, and then the President in kisananul message went over much the same groind, io the same effect. The Secretary now, with ariel phrases, but with the same end in view, addresses Congress to urge the proposition that is by this time familiar to every newspaper reader in America. The result is to con- centrate attention immediately on the sta- tistical pact of the report, and the, advoeates of revenne-inevea legislation promptly forward with er ard speeches that thay lead ? turiff fight. The tenor of the ci be cted may be judged from 4 pre- k conthined in-this morning's issue of the Philadelphia Press. It calls at- tention to the fact that a year ago Mr._ Carlisle estimated that the deficiency would not exceed $20,000,000, while it really aggre- gated nearly $43,000,000, The Press argues that in the light of this dis: the Secretary’s present estimates ¢ accepted 25 infaliitele --— 02. A Trio of Remarkable Criminals. Harry Hayward’s confession, as jictated a few hours before ius execution for one of the most remarkable crimes of the cen- tury, should make interesting reading for those who believe in criminal degeneracy as propounded by sc'entific investigators. ‘The almost ribald scenes at his execution cast some light on the strange character to which the law has just given a timely end. Such men as Hayward are among the most dangerous members of society; he plotted to take human life han ingenuity worthy of better objects, and, according to his own story, a slight slip in his plans alone prevented the murder of his victim from being an unsolved mystery. It is very desirable that Holmes and Durrant, the other members of a trio of remarkable criminals, should make confessions of their guilt before their lips are sealed forever in death. They are both, like Hayward, men of more than usual inteiligence. Holmes’ motive, ike that of Hayward, was greed of gain. It is comparatively easy to un- derstand their crimes, but that of Durrant, Whose conviction rested upon circumstan- tial evidence, as in the other cases, is still a mystery that can only be cleared away by a confession. Criminologists contend that every unsolved murder is an evil ele- ment that is apt to give rise to other un- fortunate conditions. To reach the motive of a crime is to in knowledge that is necessary to deal mteiligently with the criminal classes for the purpose of reform; the cause must be found before the effect can possibly be cured. ——__+ e+ For the first time since the days of Paul Morphy a man of American birth with an Anglo-Saxon naine ‘has ‘achievéa “interna- tional distinction oh the checkered board in competition with the great masters of chess, Mr. Pillsbury is now ergaged in cne of the greatest tourraments of modern times at St. Petersburg, and although the contest is yet very young he gives promise of being able to more than hold his own with Lasker, Steinitz and Tschigorin. At pres- ent he leads the list with two victories and no defeats. It will be gratifying, indeed, if the title of chess champton of the world can be brought to the United States by a young American, as the successor after an interval of Paul Morphy. > ee There can be no doubt of the ambition of the Japanese to become a strong power among the nations when attention is paid to their new plans for a reorganization of the navy. The personnel is increased in a great proportion, and from three admirais of the fleet down <o 1,150 lieutenants the scheme is identical with that of Great Britain. If remains, of course, to Le scen whether the island kingdom of the east can develop a navy of the size and strength of the island kingdom of the west, buf if it should accomplish this wonderful feat all question of the eastern suprcmacy would be settled for a long time. Russia will doubtless watch this effort with jealous eyes, and perhaps will seck to thwart the purpose of Japan. ——_--+ e = _____ The Sultan of Turkey is a firm believer in the doctrine that a reform should noi be carried any further than its preliminary spectacular stages.
