Viewed from any standpoint, the Fourth- of-July-fireworks-reservation plan is un- attractive. It angers the small boy and the big boy and the parents—to say nothing of the girls—and it will disappoint the District Commissioners, who are its authors and its only friends. It will doubtless be ad- mitted that a great majority of Washing- tcnians would welcome cheerfully any offi- cial action that had for its object the dis- couragement of dangerous explosions on the Fourth of July or on any other day in the year—patriotie fervor affords no excuse for malicicus mischief—but the Commission- nt with doing what they : they reach out into space and seek to accomplish the impossible. They propose to render the noises of the Fourth less obnexious to the public gen- erally by making the disturbance in- finitely more obnoxious to the dwellers in certain specified and unfortunate locali- ties. In this endeavor they will, to some extent, succeed, but when the casualty record is made up the Commissioners will not in all probability be proud of their success. The plan pays no need what- ever to the dangers that must accompany such aggregations of men and boys and fireworks as the regulation calls for; it merely provides places where the tough and the careless and the fooiish practical joker may congregate for their own amuse- ment; where the :nnocent and cmpara- tively helpless few will suffer loss of prop- erty and self-respect; where :he bursting of a firecracker must do infinitely more damage than it could do on the parking or an unoccupied scrap of highway. The reservation regulation will, if en- ferced, put a stop to one feature of the celebration to which ro reasonable being ever took exception—the display of harm- less fireworks at night. Parents have been ustomed to entertain their families with artistic samples of the pyrotechnist’s art; they have delighted all beholders and have never caused that vague something com- monly referred to as the general public even the slightest concern; legally there cannot be any of those displays this year. That some people will violate the law is probable and that many of the violators will go unpunished is sure, for with the police force on duty in the immediate vi- cimity of the reservations it does net now appear how the lawless patriots away from the reservaticns are to be captured At best, the reservation theory is un- sound; it has been materially damaged by at least two or three of the selections ofh- cially made and announced. There may be some excuse for encouraging children to assemble on the space between the railroad tracks at 7th and 9th sireeis and Virginia end Maryland avenues, or down near the railroad tracks in the neighborhood of Four-and-a-half street, but the excuse is not in evidence. | Perhays something can be said in favor of an organized pandemonium in front of the Sibiey Hospital, bui the piea may not easily be franeu by any one in whom there 1s consideration for the sick and the atilicted. Let us hope almost against hope that the reservation experimen: may now be disap- pointing and cosuy. 02 Cholera in Cuba. If it be true, as stated in a letter from Havana that appeared a few days ago in The Star, that choiera had made its appear- anee among the Spanish troops in Cuba, the situation in the island is deplorabie indeed. To add this dreadful scourge wo the small-pcx and yellow fever already so prevalent there is to make that beautiful region one vast pest-house, for there is an absolute lack of sanitary facilities in the island and the whole region is a breed- ing ground for disease germs. It seems early in the seascn fcr cholera to make its appearance, for the disexse does not usually develop in or reach these parts of the globe until the close of the summer. The information appears to core from a reliable source, however, and to be admitted by the Spanish sanitary officials on the island. Of course in the prevalence of a plague of any sort in Cuba the Spaniards ate the greatest sufferers, being unused to the tropical, moist chmate that is in- duced by the low latitude and the influence of the Gulf stream that sweeps around the western end of the island. The Cubans raturally rejoice in the advent of any new ally whether a fresh disease or a filibus- tering expedition. This is evidently going te be a most trying and costiy summer season for the Madrid government. wee It is said that Mr. Hobart only desired a position for the cabinet when he found himself put forward for the vice-presi- dency. This Incideut presents a powerful contrast to the oft-repeated cases where a man starts in for the presidency and is not even menticned for a cabinet position. oe Only two hundred and fifty men were employed today on the new city post-office building, although the weather was alto- gether suitable for building operations. ——_+ «+ -___ The Metropolitan Railway Contro- very. There is now pleas:ng prospect of the amicable settlement of the Metropolitan railroad difficulty. The compiny, in dis- charging a number of old and’ experienced employes, assigned as the cause of this ection the active opposition before Con- gress of the Street Railw Assembly, of which the discharged employes are cfficers ar conspicuous members, ‘o the road's ex- tension and other lez e prepositions which did not unfavorably affect in sny way the interests of these employes. The accuseticn by the company put the em- ployes im the light of « out of their Proper fleld of protecting. throvzh organ- ization, their own places and wages, and of attacking their employers unnecessarily in respect to legislative measures which did not at all concern them. But the discharged employes now declare that the cempany is in error in its belief that they have thus acted. They deny thet either personally or by signature to petitions have they opposed In Congress the road's extension or any other of its legislative prepositions, and through the friendly of- fices of Representative Babcock a con- action is unjust and If it should turn out that mistakem in regard to the attitude toward it of its former employes, the entire com- munity will doubtless incline to support the latter in their request for reinstatement. There ig general and proper recognition of the right of employes to organize for self- protection in respect to wages, hours, etc., and the mere fact of connection with such an organization is not recognized by the people as any ground of discharge. The general distress of the prevailing hard times intensifies public sympathy with all but tmperatively necessary discharges, and throws a greater responsibility upon em- Dloyers to exercise the most careful and conscientious judgment in adding to the army of the unemployed. The employes have acted judiciously in refraining from + strike and from threats of a strike. Two years ago popular sym- pathy fuliy endorsed the strike on the Metropolitan line, but then the employes in general were threatened with a reduction of wages already known of all men to be lcw enough. In this case the company claims that it is not oppressing anybody, but merely retaliating upon hostile indi- viduals for previous personal attacks upon it. ‘Ibe employes have wisely recognized that this is a controversy to be settled by regotiation and explanation, and not one wrich should impose upon the community the inconvenience, annoyance and injury of a strike. —- ee ____ Work for Idie Men. In all the great cities of this country are many thousands of unemployed men, men who have practical knowledge of various trades, and who, until the coming of this miserable era of hard times, had been ac- customed to earn sufficient money with which to support themselves and their families. There is nothing upon which to base present hope of speedy employment for these men in the trades with which they are familiar, but it does nct necessar- ily follow that these unfortunately idle men shall continue to be idle until our manufacturing industries now slumbering are reawakened by the coming of new leg- islative or commercial conditions. In every agricultural region in the United States there is room for many of these unem- ployed; in some plares the farmers find it practically impossible to secure the assist- ance they need to make successful crops. It is understood, of course, that agricul- ture is not universally popular as an avo- cation, but the man who is out of work and who is sincere in his desire to meet with an opportunity to earn a living ought rot to be over-particular; any honest in- dustry is henorable no matter how humbie it may seem to be. It-may be argued that farm labor is net attractive; that the hours are Iong and the life somewhat monoto- nous. If there was plenty for everybody to do there would be no impropriety in a man’s insisting upon his unquestioned right to work when and where he pleases, but in such times as these real men will not be too choice; they will take up farming until something more rearly to their tastes turns up, then they can return to their old trades, better off in maiters physical and moral for their agricultural experience. ——> e = -__ _ It was a Uttle cruel in Mr. Whitney to intimate, even remotely, that what pre- vented a sure triumph of the administra- tion’s ideas on finance at Chicago was the fact that the administration did not get somebody else to exploit them. The Emperor William would like to know what American statesmen mean by sug- gesting an international agreement on any- thing while he has his reputation as a war- lord to keep up. ——\~++e—____ H. C. Evans did not waste his time at St. Louis. He secured a good deal of advertis- ing that will come in very conveniently in the next gubernatorial campaign in Ten- nessee. ——_++e—____ Mr. Hill is willing to come to the defense of the administration on occasion, but he does not deveiop any great alacrity about booming it for another term. a Mr. Addicks could have had many little luxuries, such as are prized by the average for what his efforts to be a great ave cost him. > os ___ As a protege of the administration, Mr. Cartisie may suffer some, but he will never meet with the total eclipse that came to one James J. Van Alen. SS nee Mr. Hanna is having rather more difficulty than was originaily expecced in keeping his Stampede up to the maximum raie of speed. as —— G STARS. A Political Piaint. This life is all uncertainty, And triumph fosiers sorrow; The “sure thing” of today may be The “Jonah” of tomorrow. Her Inquiry. “There is no use in denying it,” said the young man, who uses slang indiscriminate iy, *Choily Chuggins has wheels.” Realiy said the girl from Boston. “Whose make are they?” The Soul of Musie. “I like the old old-fashioned songs,” re- marked the man with a bored look and an ungen al squint. “Why is that?” “Nobody sings them.” Smoothing His Pathway. “William,” said Mr. Meekion's wife, as she shook him by the shoulder at dead of night, “I am sure that I hear a noise in the .oement.” “Huh? “I say I hear a noise in the basement. If it isn’t there it's In the attic, and you'll have to get up and see what it is.” ‘There was a defiance in his tene which showed that he was still half asleep. “fll do nothing of the kind,” he said. “It seems a litde trying. But I'll let you ue the candlestick to the end of a waiking- stick, and get you your oiicloth cap. Then you can hold the light over your shoulder like a torch and sing ‘Marching Through Georgia’ at the top of your voice, while you tnake the rounds ef the house. You surely can't object to the exertion with these ar- rangements, for I've known them to keep you walking for six hours at a stretch when there was a campaiga going on.” A Deprivation. “f suppose,” said the policeman to the bad boy, “that you don’t think very well of the Fourth of July arrangements this year.” “No,” was the answer. “They're just a downright shame. We'll miss a lot of fun.” “You mean that you won't be able to do the sheoting around your own houses that you used to do.” “No. I mean that one of us, Instead of enjoying himself, will have to spend his Ume sitting up on the fence, looking out for you, while the rest celebrate.’ Bimetallism, Like silver is her voice’s tone, Whose cadences delight my ear.
