6 THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY.......... October 7, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular ent Family Circulatior. ree as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. A Useless Office. The coroner's office is a District of Co- Iumbia institution which has outlived its usefulness. It should be abolished. Money spent on inquests in this city is in most In- stances simply wasted. In cases of sud- den or violent dcaths an autopsy is of use in future proceedings; but the coroner does not perform the autopsies. An inquest in this city is sometimes a farce and generally a thing io be ashamed of. In any case the result and verdict is of no consequence and the grand jury, or some competent court, proceeds to look into the matter without the slightest Indication of the knowledge that an investigation has already taken place. When Dr. Woodward was coroner he recommended the abolition of his own office. He did so because he realized its useless- ness. Since then The Star has strenuously supported Dr. Woodward's proposition that a medical examiner should supplant the coroner and that all suspicious or violent deaths should be Investigated by the police; testimony to be heard in Police Court. Suck reform would be highly beneficial. In the Ainsworth case the coroner's inquest was more than a farce, it was an unneces- sary opportunity for a dangerous outburst. The inquest over James Fitzgerald, who was killed by the falling of the Abert build- ing wall, has degenerated into an unseemly travesty. Fitzgerald was killed by the fall- ing of a wall during the great storm, and the coroner or a Jury if they find that such is the case should so certify and stop. It will not matter two penc= whether the jury- men say the wall was correctly or incor- reetly constructed. They are not in a posi- tion to decide such a matter and any de- cision they make will have about as much weight with a court of competent jurisdic- tion as the opinion of any other six intelli- gent gentlemen, and no more. Instead, however, of considering Fitzgerald this in- quest has been sitting on the wall. In- stead of an investigation the affair has be- come a trial with only one side represented. If the affair is a trial the lawyers on both sides should be alowed to participate. The coroner's office is the vermiform appendix of the District government. Vermiform appen- dices are useless at all times and occa- sionally are dangerous. ——__ ee Those Eastern Branch Flats. Public ayitation in behalf of the reclama- tion of the marsh-lands of the Eastern Branch has been resumed and will doubt- less continue without cessation until Con- gress adjourns next March, unless in the meantime the national legislature takes favorable action upon the broad proposition to protect the public health and enhance the desirability of Washington as a place of residence by proceeding to eliminate the Anacostia flats. East Washington is, of course, more deeply interested in this mat- ter than any other section of the city so It might reasonably be expected that the East Washington Citizens’ Association would re- open the campaign. But mere revival of facts and figures will not be sufficiently powerful to bring about the improvements which are so urgently needed; the testl- mony in the case must first be presented to the proper authorities. It ought not to be difficult to interest the chief of engineers in this general idea, which favors a plan that ought to have been in practical opera- tion years ago; that officer can see without any difficulty that the conditions along the eastern edge of the city are in some re- spects worse than were the conditions which compelled Congress to reclaim the marshes on the city’s west front. Every argument that was used to compel appro- priations sufficient to put solfd sofl upon the malaria-breeding Kidwell Bottoms ought to be available in behalf of the project which aims at the removal of health-assailing in- fluences along the line of the Eastern Branch. When the support of the chief of engineers is assured it will then be possible to push the proposition to a satisfactory conclusion. This, however, means lots of work, but inasmuch as work never had any terrors for earnest men who were bent upon achieving that which they had started out to do, there fs no reason for imagining that the people of Washington—who are all more or less concerned—will fall to do their whole duty in this extremely im- portant matter. —————_> «= —___ Senator Gorman’s appeal to the citizens of Maryland to vote for the democratic plat- form whether they approve of it or not is not likely co be as effectual as would an un- reserved advocacy of the economic prin- ciples at stake. The contest is one of be- liefs, not parties. pe A great deal of the interest of a demo- cratic Lomination in New York state hargs about the subsequent ascertainment of the candidate's political opinions. It has some of the excitement which attaches to tie purchase of a prize-package. ———- +e —__ Mr. Hanna has gone to Chicago. It may be that it was bad generalship for Gover- nor Altgeld to show his hand so early by boasting of what he intends to do with Jili- nols. - a oe Public confidence is the only variety of trust that has not been conspicuously brought into prominence in connection with the present campaign. = Sewall's Letter. Mr. Mr. Sewall’s letter of acceptance, which sppears today, is a distinct bid for popu- Ustic support. It is written throughout with the plainly-appearing desire to please those who up to this time have vigorously and bitterly resented his nomination. There is not a line in it appealing to any eastern democrat. But will those for whom he ts angling be likely to take his bait? Prob- ably not. The sentiments which Mr. Sewall ex- presses are the sentiments of an agitator. When uttered by men hke Mr. 3ryan they command some attention because Mr. Bryan and his natural followers are agi- tatcrs. They are accepted at no other valuation. For one reason or another— some because they are theorists and have their spurs yet to win; others because they have failed In Ife by the unsuecessful ap- Plication of the existing order—they are seeking to overturn established things and to set up new things in their stead.. But Mr. Sewall is not an agitator. Neither is he a theorist or failure in affairs. He is a hard-headed man of business, who has succeeded in life. And by what means? Strangely enough, by the very means which he now denounces. As banker, ship- owner, railroad president, all-round corpor- ation representative, he has applied the laws of business and the exchanges of busi- ness and has legitimately prospered. He is applying those laws today. He has con- tracts outstanding, and written since he was rominated at Chicago, which protect him with a provision that his receipts are to be paid in gold. And yet Bir. Sewall dencunces these laws and exchanges, of business as unjust to the great body of the people, and deplores results which he attributes directly to them. It may be claimed that because of Mr. Sewall’s thorough business education and conspicuous business success. his views about this matter are entitled to all the greater weight. But the new intelligence, to be effective, should be accompanied by an awakened conscience. Does Mr. Sewall propese to stand now for the people, with his pockets bulging with dividends derived from transactions conducted under a mon- etary system which he repudiates as grind- ing cn the people? Can he consistently do so? Shall he hold on to that which has come to him from such a system when 80 many of those who have worked for him are still poor? If what Mr. Sewall now con- terds for is true, he is the mere custodian of the wealth standing in his name. It is his only because unjust laws have made it his. Can he be accepted seriously as re- pudiating those laws as long as he keeps the prcfits of the selfish application of them? But Mr. Sewall is in politics now, and is trying to meet an embarrassing situa- tion. He could not be logical if he tried to be. He is the most illogical candidate ever presented for the suffrage of the American people. He flounders, and ‘s obliged to flounder. His home people have repudiated him, because he decries—as they think, for office sake—the bridge that has carried him and them over. The populist cannot accept him, because until he divests himself of the spoil of his gold transac- tions, obtained unjustly, according to his own corfessions, and cancels all of his gold contracts, he must appear as a man only of lip service, trying to make that service perform an important office for him in a close place. —_—__ + + + ___ The Czar in France. The Czar’s visit will develop to the full the accomplishments of the French people as a host. The program is elaborate, and includes details that would be impossible of execution in any other country. But the French will execute them, and with a grace all their own. The reserved and somewhat phlegratic young ruler will take back home with him recollections of such fes- tivities as for variety and frenzled cor- diality have not been celebrated in any man’s honor In many years. It is a chap- ter of history, indeed, which only France could make, and which as recorded by Frerch pens in the French annals of the day will be most readable in every line. The whole appreciative spirit of the people is aroused, and will manifest itself in the thetsand and one engaging ways of which its possessors are the masters. There might be noted an excess of this spirit ‘f France did not owe Russia so much. But she owes her a very great deal, and acknowledges it, of course, in her own way. The Russian alliance has been every- thing to France; has given her heart and confidence and standing again; has encour- aged her to assert her old claim to con- sideration in Europe without inciting her to go to war to have it allowed. It was « service which no other nation could have rendered her, nor would have done, even with the vower, but which in her misfortunes needed to be rendered. The Czar therefore as the friend in need irspires the offerings due to a friend in- deed, and with France as the beneficlary this means much. The general hope. ts— and even Germany claims to share in it— that the visit may in every particular be a pleasant one. Politics makes strange bedfellows, This, is true of nations as of individuals. Russia is a despotism—a form of government from which men of progress are withdrawing their sympathy. France is a republic—the form of government which all men of pro- gress deprived of its benefits are trying to establish, and all who enjoy its benefits are striving to maintain. And yet for. mutual good, and to help preserve the peace of the world, this despotism and this republic clasp hends. But this is not the first tlme that Russia has shown friendship for a republic. She has always been a friend of this country; and during our civil war, when England, and even France, then under the degrad- ing rule of Louis Napoleon, looked with cold eyes this way and hoped to see this government go down, the grandfather of young Nicholas, then on the Russian throre, gave open evidence of his desire for the success of the Unton cause. He even went so far as in a manner to offer assistance. The appearance of that Rus- sian fleet in New York harbor at a time when interference by England and France was thcught to be on the cards still re- mains the subject of interesting historical comment, and of grateful appreciation on the part of the American people. —_~- s___ Ninety men—only ninety—were engaged teday In the slow task of completing the long-delayed construction of the new city post-office building. ——___~e= The suggestion that Florida may find a successor for Senator Call is calculated to make that gentleman as blue as his once- famous hosiery. . —++e—____ Great Britain will kindly shift some of her anxiety that Venezuela shall remain Passive so as to cover British Guiana. ———__+ +e ____ SHOOTING STARS.

A storm was raging just as the Words which made them man and wife were about to be spoken. The reverberations of thunder shook the very hills, A gust of wind tore off the tin roof and sent It rat- uing into the next yard. A brass band concealed in the foliage played by request in order to remcve the Impressions created by the storm, but the melody was inter- rupted by a salute of firearms by a neigh- boring military company. Nevertheless, the report in the next day's paper benignly referred to it as a quiet wedding. Conflicting. “I think we are not cultivating the new neighbors as we should,” said Mrs. Blykins. “Well,” replied her husband, “there's no use of trying to do too many things at once. It stands to reason that we can’t expect to be successful in cultivating the neighbors and Millicent’s voice at the same time.” Advice. Cheer up, chillun, an’ move yoh feet!
