The Race-Track Gamblers’ Fight at Richmond. It begins to look as though the race- track lobbyists at Richmond would come out temporarily successful in the fight now yeing waged for and against race track Nemblirg in the Virginia legislature. The @resent prosvects of the dill drawn in ac- cordance with Governor O'Ferrall’s mes- @age appear to be discouraging, and the Soverner has announced that he will veto any measure less comprehensive than this one. The Maupin bill, which at one time seemed to have @ good chance to pass the house, absolutely prohibits gambling on horse rac2s everywhere in’the state from, one cnd of the year to the other. It would put an end most effectively to the nuisance that has for many months existed at the very gates of Washinzton, and, if strictly enforced in eve-y provision, it would even- tually wipe out the cther places on the Virginia shore where the laws of morality and public decency are constantly being violated. The advocates of racing tried to compromise by giving the tracks "a chance to open for thirty days each in every sea- son, within certain dates that would pro- it winter racing. But in view of the governor's Tirm attitude this was reji as of course ed was another praposition to ys of racing at each track. Tke former plan would give two months at the tracks across the river, and the lat- ter four months. that if th: for it is to be presumed time were limited the tracks ‘ould not attempt to hold Of course {f the d to operate at ali it woald be far better for this com- nunity if the laws could be so amended as coafine the local nuisance within limits, the ‘narr the better. What the Dis- trict really ants is a complete effacement gf these neighboring tracks, if they are to continue to be ‘ely gambling hells, but failing this radi weuld be acceptable that confined all the racing to a le month and prevented mid-winter exhibitions of cruelty and all- the-year-round gambling. —_—_- eo ___ Fire im the Rear. Although prevented by the rules of the House from speaking at length on the sub- ject the other day, Mr. Grow succeeded in calling attention in a marked marner to the Persistent fire in the rear coming period- ly from certain pro-British sources in and around New York teading to discredit the American policy of this government. The offending matter of which he particu- larly complained was a paragraph in a pam- phlet issued by the New York Chamber of Commerce reflecting on the integrity and hoaor of Congress oa the ground that it has refused to appropriate the $400,000 alleged to be due on the basis of the awards of the Paris tribunal of arbitration on the Bering sea dispute. As Mr. Grow emphaticaliy stated, the arbitrators did not award a dol- lar in damages to any one, nor did they even indicate that any particular claimants were entitled to awards. Claims for damages were pending, and im preference to an drbi- tration which should examine and pass upon each ciaim Secretary Gresham agreed with the British minister upon the payment of a lwmp compromise sum, subject to the ap- proval of Congress. The National Legisla- ture did not approve, but, viewing the bulk of the claims as exaggerated and fraudu- lent, decided that it was better for the United States to stead its chances before an assessment tribunal.” The contemptible part ef the matter fs that such publications, from American sources, tend to give the impres- ston abroad that this country is prone to avoid its honorable obligations, and ‘to sneak cut of the consequences of an appeal te arbitration. Obviously the purpose of such insinuations is to discredit the request made by this government to England for 2 settlement of the Veneauelan boundary dis- pute by arbitration, and it is well that Mr. Grow has called attention to the attempt im such an emphatic manner. There is ab- solutely no truth in the charges. ——__ +++ ___ The Hearst Sehooel for Girls. The publication in Saturday’s Star of the design and plans of the’ Hearst School for Girls, to be soon erected in connection with the Episcopal Cathedral Foundation near this city, gives to the public interest- . ing information eercerning the scope and great possibilities of this enterprise, which is a@ worthy monument to the benevolence of one of Washington’s mest public-spir- ited women. The tuilding as designed will be an attractive ermament to the now un- oecupied ground secured for the broad pur- pescs of the Cathedral Foundation, and Will doubtless prove to be a harmonious memb>r of a great group of cathedral structures, which the future will bring forth. The actual work of erecting the school building will fittingly coincide with The coming of the rew Bishop of Washing- ton, who has already shown an active in- terest in the undertaking. If bequests and gifts should flow into the treasury at the expected rates for but a few years the en- tire equipment may be obtained in a rela- tively short time, including other schools than that now about to be begun, and . crowned by the Cathedral, the magnificent plan for which promises that Washington's architectural attractions will receive in it @ most welcome addition. —- 2 ae There is no doubt that the government could successfully establish a popular loan system by a slight co-operation with the Feople. ——_~ +o ‘The week was begun with seventy men at work on the post office building. —___-+ e+ --—__ Gas and Telephone Reforms. ‘There is a striking resemblance between gas and telephone companies fm thejr rela- tion to the municipality, and an equalty striking difference between those enter- rises and others dealing im commodities Beeded by the people, such as groceries, coal and clothing. In the case of the latter forms of busincss competition is powerful and direct. Rivalry between such estab- lishments serves to keep prices down to the lowest point compatible with profitable op- eration, and the more groceries, coal yards ‘and dry goods stores there are the better it is, as a rule, for the community. Not so, “however, with the more public enterprises of furnishing light and the means of teie- Phonic communication to the people, which ‘are and must necessarily remain virtual “inenopolies of the flelds they occupy. There competition, to be sure, in the ease of a gas company or a telephone curporation, though it is indirect. Then there is an- other form of competition; but it is between service pipes is furnishing a fair—only fair—quality ‘THE EVENING STAR [omy al remedy some el eause a generai increase in consumption that would more than restore the yet in- come from the bysiness. Other companies apply for charters, offering lower rates and promising bonds to secure a better quality. The question is whether the streets should be surrendered to such a corporation, to be torn up for mains from one end of the city to the other, for the sake of possible re- forms accompanied by all sorts of anoy- ancés; or whether the company owning the charter and the mains should be compelled by Congress to give better gas at modern Prices. The same fs true'in the case af telepnones. There can be no ccmpetition there, for di- rect rivalry means a divided patronage, which reduces the value of each service in a ratio regulated by the number of pa- trons taken from the old company by the new. Again the streets become the prey of new comers. Conduits must be laid un- less the abomination of unsightly and dan- serous poles is to be augmented. Once more the question arises: Is it profitable to add tc the public nuisances simply in order that the telephone seryice may be deter- lorated under the guise of lower rates; or should Congress compel the present holder of the monopoly to lower its rates while improving the service, in return for the privilege of further occupying the field? In both cases the answer should be plain- ly apparent. It should be easy to compel both the gas and telephone companies doing business here to reduce rates and give bet- ter service. Congress is often ready to charter rew companies, ang it has equal power to regulate the present holders of such favors granted in the past. —_—__~ e+ ___ A Chance for the Boys. In every large city there is a perplexing problem to be solved by workers among the waifs and children of the poor in the quest: “What shall be done with the boys as they grow up to manhood?” Trade conditions are cften such that they can net be apprenticed, or there may be no special antit in the lads warranting their being put to s mechanical pui- suit. Too few of them are capable of the mental development .renuired in profes- sional lines, and the field available for the majority of them to dccupy is, small in- deed. There is a feature of the administra- tion of a German line of steamers that of- fers a partial solution of the problem. This company recruits a great part of its service from the Germen public schools, taking fhe boys at the age of about fourteen years, when the majority of them, as is the case in many cities, are compelled by family cir- cumstances to leave the educational insti- tutions to help-in getting a living. They enter the steamer’s service as apprentices, so to speakand they develop into the skip’s officers. American passengers on these steamers testify that the staff of officers, who are in most cases graduates from the apprentice classes so formed, compare most favorably with those of other lines, and the men all show an unusual degree of in- telligence. The boys are trained in every branch of seamanskip, and are thus given a technical knowledge better than many trades and containing great and ever grow- ing possibilities for advancement and ex- pansion. The business of carrying passen- gers, mails and freight across the ocean is greatly on the increase, and the improve- ments constantly being applied to the mer- chant marine tend to widen the profitable possibilities of that calling. There is no American line of steamers now employing such commendable methods, but it is highly desirable that there should be some defi- nite movement to that end. There are thousands of boys in this country who tmaight most advantageously be placed in sueh Ines of work, and their employment thus would take a great burden of respon- sibility from the city, the church, the so- ciety, the individual charity worker, and in many cases the parent. lO Washington whist experts are forming to the front again. National laurels are ance more in sight and there ts evidently a re- vival of the interest in the game such’ as culminated a fev years ago in the conquest of the main trophy which marks the whist championship of America. The vietory of the Capital Bieyele Club team Saturday night over the strong Hamilton Club team of Philadelphia puts the local men in the rage for the challenge cup that must be won twenty times in order to become a permanent property. ‘This victory is the more creditable since the Hamiltons are at present the leaders with eight wins, while the Capital team has now two vic- torles and no defeats. It is desirable that this country do as lit- tle tatking where no emergency exists and as much fighting in case of a crisis as pos- sible. —< e+ __ A Chicago ;poetess of passion” lost her entire ‘ibrary by fire.
