THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON SATURDAY..............Mareh 28, 1896. CROSBY 4S. NOYES... .............Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much mere than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington @ailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. &7Im order to avoid delays, on-ac- count of personal absence, letters io THE STAR jl not be addressed to amy indivi: connected with the office, ba imply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according te tenor er purpose. At a Standstill. Judge Cox's decision, declaring the high- way act unconstitutional, removed that law, at least temporarily, from the list of stat- utes for the enforcement of which appro- priations could reasonably be asked. Recog- nizing this fact the board of trade decided tg hold in abeyance for the present m the hands of a special committee the proposi- tion of a bond issue for street extension under the highway act, and to push vigor- ously at this time the project of a bond issue for sewers. The Commissfoners have now attached the street extension provision of the original bond bill as an amendment to the sewer bond proposition of the board of trade, coupling with it proposed amend- ments of the highway act which will, it is thought, make that measure constitutional and uaebjectionable. ‘The effect of this action of the Commis- sioners, which has the sympathy and sup- port of a part of suburban Washington, is as fatal to immediate action on the sewer bord proposition as Judge Cox's decision was in its application to the highway act bond tssue. Those who believe that either in the Court of Appeals or in the Supreme Court of the United States the highway act will be declared constitutional, either wholly or except in certain particulars not vital to the measure—and this number in- cludes a majority of the Commissioners— are not ready to amend the highway act until a final decision shall show what, if any. parts of the law are unconstitutional and need to be amended. Clearly the amendments of the highway act which are now submitted as amendments of the sewer bond bill will not be pushed by the Commissioners for immediate action, since they are hoping that certain of these amendments will be rendered unnecessary by an upper court affirmation of the con- stitutionality of the portions of the high- way act to which they relate. The effect at this juncture of hitching up the street extension horse, which cannot now move and is not expected to move, with the sewer bond horse, which is ready to take its chances in the race, is to bring the team to a hopeless standstill. This result is pleas- ng to those who are hostile to a bond issue of any sort, and to those who are un- ing that the sewer project shall ad- vance unless accompanied at each step by the street extension project. It is satisfac- tory to nobody else. If beth the Commissioners and the prop- erty owners would accept the decision sooa to be rendered by the Court of Appeals corcetning the corstitutionality of the highway act a forward movement of some sort In respect to street extension might be made at this session. But the indica- tions seem to suggest a divided court, an appeal by the unsuccessful party, and, pending that appeal, the continuance in- definitely in a state of paralysis of the highway act and of every legislative propo- sition which may be inseparably cornected with ft. The amendment of the highway act to eliminate the provisiens by which the na- tion virtually repudiates all obligations in respect to so much of the Federal District as lies beyond Bourdary street is absolute- ly essential, whatever the court's decision may be as to the sections whose constitution- alty haa been attacked. The Commission- ers’ amendatory prcpositions will therefore im any event strengthen the street exten- ston end of the project when the grand aggregation of amendatory, appropriative, bord-issue, sewer ard street extension legislative proposals gets ready to move. For the present ft might be for the public interest to test Congress speedily on the Proposition to amend the highway act, pushing it as an independent measure, un- hampered by antagonfsms, sure to be raised by the request of large appropriations through bond issues. If Congress will not amend the highway act in the vital point te which reference has been made, then the District cannot afford to have that act en- forced at all. Public enthusiasm in behalf of a bond-issue for street extension under the highway act will be largely increased, if at the time when the word to push the bond bill is given the threat to the local tax- payers involved In the present provisions of the highway act has already been removed by sultable amendment. —_—__++____ It is the publicly-expressed opinion of Senator Allen of Nebraska that Congress should rot adjourn until it has provided amply for the free coinage of silver and has deprived the Secretary of the Treasury of the power to issue bonds. If Senator Allen @an only persuade the Nebraska legislature to keep him in the Senate until his millen- nium arrives he will easily break the con- tinuous-membership record. ——__+ + +____ The cnveiling of the Hancock statue should not be a ceremony of the minor sort. Winfield Scott Hancock was one of the prcminent figures in the Union foreground during the latter portion of the civil war; his services to the nation deserve notable sideration. Troope should be paraded Provision should be made for the other essentials of what ought, practically, to be & public holiday. —__-+ «+ _____ Gov. Morton, by his reference to the Raines bill as “an experiment well worth trying,” implies that while circumstances over which he has no control may compel im to sign it, he does not feel justified in assuming an unreserved responsibility for the way in which it will work. -_——___+0 + ____ After the blood-curdling manifestoes that have been Issued by Gen. Weyler, it would be disappointing to hear compiaints from the Spanish army that the insurgents are not observing the ethics of warfare. —___+ + + —___- ‘The Raines Dill as a National Issue. Interest in the Raines bill is by no means ccnfined to to New York. Politicians of national consequence are discussing It, and evidently with some idea that it may be- cme—or rataer that the principle it in- volves may become—a national issue. Some of the republican leaders do not welcome it at this time. The excise question is always @ delicate one to handle, and in a presi- dential year, and on the eve of a great campaign, it may prove, they fear, very emtarrassing. ‘The democrats, on the other hand, are very glad that the question has been brought up, and are preparing to make as much use of it as possible. It gives them great hopes of carrying New York next year, and they are not without hopes of being able to introduce the matter advan- tageously into this year’s national contest. ‘The brewing and the liquor interests are being organized against the measure and ali that it implies, and this means abund- ant sinews of war for a stiff fight. The Raines bill as interpreted by the democrats ts not for the better regulation of the liquor traffic, but a step in the di- ” Fection of its suppression. It is as long @ stop, they assert, as the republicans are prepared to take at this time; but, {f um resisted and permitted to remain en the Docks, the law will lead to “something stronger, and that, in time, to something stil strerger, until Tillman's South Caro- whole liquor trafic be brought under the atsolute control of the general gov: nt. The suggestion is even thrown out that in time there may be an Excise Department— the Internal Revenue Bureau elaborated and extended—with its presiding officer en- titled ‘to a seat at the President's cabinet table. While this is characterized by the repub- licans as a flight of partisan fancy, they recognize in the topic something difficult to discuss before popular -audiences : along lines of ordinary debate. A great deal of sentiment enters into the subject on both sides. On the one side is. the. sentiment of temperance, and on the other the sentiment of personal liberty. The one sentiment is strong in the country districts and in the villages, and the other is strong in the towns and cities. Divisions, therefore, and in many instances very sharp alivisions, may be expected in New York state, and throughout the country at large if the is- sue Is forced into the national scale, with the result decidedly uncertain. « The republicans do not believe that the issue can be forced into this year’s cam- baign unless Governor Morton is the nomi- nee of the St. Louis convention... The Raines bill being of New York origin— passed by a republican legislature and sign- ed by Governor Morton—might ,in that case, prove troublesome; but not otherwise. Otherwise, as they contend, it must of necessity remain a local issue. But the democrats do not concede this. The bill, they assert, repablican of origin as it is, sbows republican tendencies. The party at large mvst answer for it, and the man put up at St. Louis, no matter from what state taken, must pay the penalty at the polls. The question is one, they insist, that rust be met, if successfully at all, at once, end while it is young. Zo permit it to strike its Toots in deeply anywhere would be a ser- fous mistake. Still, pleased as the democrats undoubt- edly are with the situation in New York as affected by the Raines bill, they are not really so very confident, as yet, as to the immediate application of the bill to nation- al politics. The measure will cut both ways, and for that reason every stroke will have to be carefully calculated. — e+e _____ Riverside Park. People who believe that the national cap- ital should worthily represent the greatness and wealth and art.of the American people will be delighted at the action authorized by the Senate District committee as to the creation of a park—Riverside Park—out of the raw material known as the reclaimed Potomac flats. From the time when the first dollar was spent on the reclamation of the marshes on the city’s western edge it has been the public idea that a park would be the result, but until now there has been complete absence of anything like a con- Sressional deliverance on that important subject. It it therefore extremely pleasing to know that the Senate District committee bas decided to-offer-as.an amendment to the District appropriatiof bill a provision which sets apart thé ‘entire 'réclaimed area, with the tidal reservoirs, “for the recrea- tion of the people.” The sum of money reeded to work the transformation indi- cated in the committee’s amendment will be very small indeed. Walks and drives will have to be laid and there must, of course, be considerable planting.of trees #nd shrubs, but such betterments are not expensive; and they are invariably worth a thousandfold their cost. The promised transformation will be especially accepta- ble to dwellers in the southwestern portion of the city, for as things now are there is very little in their vicmity that can be re- garded as decorative. It is hoped-that be- fore the park approaches completion some- thing destructive or remedial will be done to the Long Bridge; that ancient, disfiguring and flood-creating structure..would be en- Urely out of place in the neighborhood of aes pe ———~+e___ Applied Psychology. Some people may wonder why a scientist skould devote time and energy to the task of securing quantitative measurements of sensibility in persons of different ages and different classes of society. To the careless or the ignorant a thermaesthesiométer or an algometer fs of no consequende' Whatever but that such delicate aids to psychological study have great value will be evident even to the masses in the near future. Dr. Ar- thur MacDonald, who is a specialist in the United States Bureau of Hdueation, has de- veloped some interesting neuro-seciel data. Of especial moment are those that relate to School children, in this city;*éné thousand seven hundred and seven having,.been the subjects of the doctor’s simple experiments. Whatever may be the scientific value of Dr. MacDonald's measurements their prac- tical value amounts to much. A tabular statement of average sensibility as te local- ity, heat and pain has been prepared, pre- senting which the doctor says that any Pupil twenty per cent above or below these averages for its age should be reported to the family physician; ought, perhaps, to be taken away from school or if permitted to remain should not be required to do the average amount of school work Bright ptpils with weak bodies are now. toe'com- mcn, but with the assistance of the clever psychologist they may enjoy 4'‘measure of relief suflictent to give the physical-self a chance to catch up with the over-rapidly developing mind. Practical science is only the refinement of common sense. ———~+-___. Every one who knows anything about tainstrel pezformances has heard the an- cient sag about the shipwrecked sailor who washed himself ashore with a cake of soap. ecean freight steamer was saved quite re- cently by the liberal use of soapsuds, dripped over the bows as oil some- times is. The suds had an immediately- quieting effect upon the waves and there- after the ship was easily handled. After much delay and more than one fortunate escape from grounding the battle- ship Indiana has at last been docked at Port Royal. So far, so good. Now the naval authorities will have to’ wait until wind and tide serve together befora they ean get the Indiana out again. Some day our navy may have several docks that will be available at all stages of tide. ———_+ +s __.

A revolt occurred in Matabeleland, and British scitiers have been driven to the tewns from their farms by the natives; British reinforcenents are sadly needed, and the affair may become serious unless aid is promptly forthcoming.

The Turkish government issued an appeal to Russia and France to protest against the British expedition up the Nile as affecting the Turkish suzerainty over Egypt; the Egyptian debt commission met at Cairo and deciced to advance the £500,- €00 necessary to meet the expenses of the expedition against Dongola; the commls- sion paid the first installment of funds needed for the Nile expedition. ‘The French chamber of deputies, by a vote of 286 to 270, indorsed the principle of the govern- ment’s proposal for an income tax.

The Commissioners agreed to recommend} §: to Congress an increase in the Mquor license fees, making the price of a retail license $600, and that of a wholesale license $400. The officials of the Eckington and Belt Railway Companies made a propo- sition to substitute compressed air motors on all of their lines, and to accept certain extensiors different from those heretofore Proposed; the attorney of the District de- cided that the law, as it stands, will -not rermit the use of motors.
