Children Who Play on the Streets. The too-rapid street car, the furiously driven brewery and express wagons and the scorcher-urged bieycle are all subjects of daily condemnation. They are condemned because those who control them are care- leas of the rights of fellow-beings and fre- quently do serious injury to innocent per- sons whese rights to the occupancy of the streets are as good as any, and who in many Instances do not, through thought- lessness or lack of caution, contribute to the disasters in which they are the principal sufferers. But there is, nevertheless, another side to the question. Not all of the maim- ing and Killing colilsions on our streets are due to the drivers and wheelmen. In many cases there is at least contributory negli- gence and once in awhile injury results from the heedless presence of playing chil- dren upon highways that cannot safely or legally be used by little ones for purposes of amusement. Not a day passes by that does not witn cores, perhaps hundreds, of the narrowest escapes from mutilation or death of children; the wonder is that the number of casualties {s not multiplied many times. Little ones scarcely able to toddle ere permitted by parents to wander off the dewalks and on the roadway; older young- rs are turned out to play their games on vets where cable and electrically-pro- pelled cars are runring for twenty-one hours out of every twenty-four; boys ,or- ganize baseball teams and practice with as litcle regard for the rights of anyone else as Is displayed by the girls whose skipping- ropes are so frequently obstructive. These improper conditions are apparent to some pedestrians, but ‘y do not appear in their real magnitude until a few eventide at- tempts have been made to propel a bieycle or drive a horse over almost any residence street in the city. Years ago, when street cars were bobtailed and few in number, when bicycles were unkno and when there was no such business rush as now comparatively few children were ‘rty t9 use the streets about ag they but that has vanished Roys and girls who use our streets ounds do so at their peril, and ‘t should be deeply impressed bota s and n.

The Ideal 1 will be reached when the reckless e been discouraged, when public sroufids have been established in every section of the city, and when the children are banished from the travelled streets. ean aa SEE A Diplomatic Lmprobability. People who are versed in diplomatic af- fairs appear to find In the comparatively prompt response of Spain to the request of the United States for the release of Bishop Diaz evidence of Spanish desire to 80 conciliate this country as to deiay pos- sible recognition of Cuban_belligerency. ‘ation of Walter Dygert is also re- 1 as testimony indicative of a very. understanding between the Span- worities and the principal occupant 2xecutive Mansion. That such har- mony exists is quite probable, and that the President has pro-Spanish inclinations may not be dented, but it seems altogether un- likely that the recognition of Cuba for which the people of this country and their in Congress have petitioned ing delayed in order that justice may Americans who were improperly and inhumanely incarcerated. Whether Spain knows it or not, the fact is that this is a nation big enough and suffi- clently seif-reliant to demand for its citi- zens such treatment as they are entitled to under trealy rights and the unwritten rode of civilization. It is most improbable that President Cleveland is trading off Cuban recognition for something that Spain would be und to give us anyhow. +> Guns for Our Warships. y close attention to a letter written by Commodore Sampson, chief of the naval bureau of ordnance, in response to a request from the chairman of the Senate naval appropriations subcom- mittee for more detailed information as to the capacity of the Washingten gun shops. Commodore Sampson's reply, which was printed in The Star, places before the committee what seems to be sufficient in- formation and it shows very conclusively how necessary it is that there should be sufficient and immediate expenditure of public funds in the manufacture of guns needed for the new battleships and the auxiliary cruisers. An admirable plant has been established here; its output has been sincerely lauded by ordnance authori- ties in all countries. Mistaken economy has, through the scattering abroad of ex- perts for whom no employment had been provided, done considerable damage, but the injuries are not beyend repair nor do they in any way affect the magnificent equipment of machinery which is now ready for use. ——___+ e+ _____ “It can never be ter New York,’ Says the Philadelphia Press, patronizes horse cars.” Lesser New York, so far as population is concerned, if it follows Philadelphia’s example as to troHey-cars. ———_+ «+ ___ The art of backing down gracefully has come to be a very important feature of mod- n diplomacy. — Make the Roof Fireproof. Perhaps the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds will agree to accept the decidedly remarkable statements of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury as to the inflammable roof on the city post-offiee building, and it is within the bounds of pos- sibility that both branches of Congress may accept the government architect's definition of the term “fireproof,” but such a pro- cedure would not be likely to earn the respect of those who know anything about the building business. It was well enough, of course, for the House committee to interrogate Mr. Aiken as to his responsibil- ity for the objectionable and dangerous roof but there will be difficulty in finding any weed excuse for making him the only wit- ness. Why not call two or three experts— there are many such in Washington—and ask them whether the roof which Mr. Aiken disapproves but continues to con- struct is or is not likely to be a serious menace to life and property? It ts quite absurd for the Supervising Architect to {nttmate that because the plans for the Toof were completed before his administra- ‘as long as it And it will be tion commenced he must necessarily exe- cute them. There was no such argument heard when, mainly in the interest of the contractor, it was decided to change from ‘rough stone to dressed stone for the otter walls of the structure. It ts within the province of the Supervising Ar- chitect to make such alterations or amend- ments in the plans as he deems’ necessary to bring about increase of utility or se- curity, and in the great majority of in- stances his propositions or his acts will be approved by those officials to whom he is responsible. Mr. Aiken has admitted that if he had the job to do over again he would for the tindery cover which he would have Congress believe is “fireproof.” “It is fire- proof,” he says, “but it is not incombusti- ble." Why does he not confess directly the shortcoming he so unwillingly admits so that Congress may provide the compara- tively small sum needed to put the proper sort of a roof on a building of so much im- portance as the post-office building raust be? The roof which Mr. Aiken defends so weakly, yet so persistently, has been con- demned by the District inspector of build- ings, by the chief of the fire department and by a large number of architects and builders. Why does not the House Com- mittee look to proper witnesses for testi- mony Instead bf asking the defendant whether he is guilty or not? oe i Money Talks. America faith in the ability of Cuba to | set up a government on its own account was demonstrated very emphatically Sat- urday when bids for a two million dollar issue of Cuban bonds were opened in New York. The bids aggregated more than nine million dollars, and the average price offered for the entire {seue was sixty-two and one-half cents on the dollar. Capital is proverbially timid and it might well be excused for an extraordinary exhibition of timidity in cenneetion with the Cuban cause, In view of the position taken by this administration as to the recognition of the Cubans as pbelligerents. Financiers, how- ever, seem to have paid comparatively little attention to the President's attitude, pre- ferring rather to pin their faith upon the almost unanimous expression of American sympathy with the struggling revolution- ists. If Spain desires to institute a com- parison between its financial standing and the standing of those to whom it terms bandits and highwaymen it might try the eaperiment of a bond issue in the United States. The criticisms and reproofs’ which were showered on the coal barons during the winter can now be made, with very slight varlations, to apply to the ice dealers. —__+e= International arbitration would be an ex- cellent thing if England could be persuaded to forego the privilege of dictating the terms of every compromise. ——___ +e ——_—_.

Oblivious to all he does The world turns on its axis; You never read his name save when He fails to pay his taxes. His Wish. The young man has slangful proclivities. The girl who occupied the seat in front of him at the theater not only wore a big hat, but she persisted in being conversa- tional. “Don't you think Bernhardt fs lovely?” she sald. “I don’t know of anybody who can flop around the stage the way she does and not seem awkward; and I don’t care if she is thin, she’s real nice. Only I don’t see why she doesn’t play something funny ence in a while. I do detest those horrid weepy things.” The young man behind her had been dodging from side to side in his effort to see the stage, and his face assumed an ex- pression of anguish, as he heard the com- ments ceasing only to be renewed after @ pause of a few seconds. At last he sank back Into the seat and sighg. “It’s a great pity.” “What is a great pity?” asked the young woman with him. “The fact that a hat can't be seen through as easily as it can be talked through.” i Perplexed. « “I happened to be in the city,” he said to the watchman in the Agricultural grounds, “and I thought I might as well stop and ask you.” “Ask me what?” “About the weather. You're connected with the department that has charge of the weather, aren't you?” “Yes; in a way.” “Well, you will remember that started in chilly, as usual. Then blazing hot. At the present time cool as November, if not more so.”” ‘hose are all facts.”” “Is it going to get warm again?” f course.” “I supposed It would, and that is the cause of my present doubts. What I want to know Is this: When it does get warm again, will it be Indian summer, or just the regular article?” spring it got its as Unsympathizing. “It's terrible,” he sald, “to see the way one member of Congress after another gets “Well,” his wife answered, “it serves them right for giving in to the bicycle craze.” On the Ship of State.

From the Albany Journal. As a matter of fact, the provision for the abolition of the free lunch was incor- pcrated into the bill at the request of Mor- tis Tekulaky, a representative of the Ilauor dealers, who attends to their legislative business. The free lunch system had grown beyond all expectation and bounds. In the city of New York there are several large establishments that do nothing but supply lunches to the saloons. Every year the character of the “lunch” became more elaborate, and, If some check were not in- troduced, no one could tell where it would erd. Thus, in behalf of the liquor dealers, Mr. Tekulsky stepped forward and asked that the free lunch be abolished by law.
