THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. assesses October 9, 1806. CRosBY Ss. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulntior much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in W: tom. As a News und Adve Medium it hus no competitor. NOYES. .-Editor. wim order to avoid delays, on ac- count cf personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be nddressed 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. Action at Last. The Commissioners have made no mistake in adopting the suggestion so often made by The Star that the office of coroner should be abolisied in the District. If they had taken such a step years ago the many farces that have been enacted from time to time in the name of “inquests’’ would have been avoided. Few public calamities and fewer great crimes have occurred in the District of late years without affording practical demonstrations of the useléssness and worse of this relic of the ancient method of starting the judicial machinery in motion. Now that the Commissioners have decided to recommend to Congress the abolition of the office and the substitution therefor of the position of medical exam- iner, doubtless something will be done to- ward modernizing the judicial system of the District in this respect. Health Officer Woodward set the pace in admirable fash- ion several years ago when he urged the abandonment of the office of coroner, which he then held. [f it was clear to the incum- bent that the office was useless and super- fluous, it should have been an easy task for the authorities to arrive at the same conclusion. There is little disposition, how- ever, to complain of the delay, inasmuch as the proposition has now received the Cgm- missioners’ recommendation. It is known that when the Kreglo case occupied public attention last spring the attention of many members of Congress was so thoroughly arrested by the demonstrations of useless- ness of the coroner's office as to cause some of them to consider the advisability of pro- posing a law abolishing the office without waiting for the recommendation of ‘the Commissioners. Happily, the latter offi- cials have now acted, and prebably among the local bills passed next session will be this admirable measufe of reform. os = The Crippled Telephone Service. In Mr. Bryan's interesting explanation of the difficulties confronting the local teie- phone company in its effort to restere the ce to its former condition, published in last eve ar, unfortunately no dispo- are the cost of this directly traceable to the overhead sys of distribution, with the cost of maintaining an approximately com- plete system of underground conduits. It might be important to place these two ex- penses side by side and to calculate the ad- vantage of maintaining the present over- head distributing wires where they are or of substituting wherever possible the conduit system, which Mr. Bryan admits is far less to trouble in Washington than else- owing to the lack of electrolyzing here, such as the overhead trolley. It is reasonable to assert that in a city like Washington, which has been kept.free from t jon of the trolley by constant ef- on the part of the press and the pub- lic, a conduit system could be more cheaply maintained than in Baltimore, and yet t are fifty miles of conduit in the latter city to only about fifteen here. A thousand tele- phones out of order ought in equity to rep- resent a heavier loss of income to the com- the mere item of replacing poles whose breakage puts this large ge of the service out of connection. here seems to be no provision made for such a rebate in behalf of the discommoded subscribers who are the largest sufferers from the hurricane. Their rent runs on, agen without the compensating telephone service. Perhaps if this item were expressed in dol- lars, it would stand as a heavy set-off that other form of “dead capital’ Bryan complains is the main rea- son why the conduit system cannot be ex- tended. ——__ ++ —__ The Caban War Again. is evident from the numerous contra- Gictory reports recently received from Cuba that the fighting season in that un- fortunate island has come again, and prob- hout the winter there ef dispatches with nee, to the is on the pluble of compl lishmen: and to be over ad just now estab- about troch h of over 2 t in the same he t Spanish con insurgent cause by the ke he tr ground and the skirmishes magni momen ter effectually jer and that s been permanently of men and arms. usual Hes in middle been a series of y the interposition anish victories or t triumphs accerd- n which they were There seems to be no good reason hat the war will be ended this ven if Spain is able to obtain the or which she has now appealed ers of the werld.

The result of the town elections in Con- necticut is regarded by the republicans as Important beyond the indication given of hew the state will vote In November. It ts thought to afferd a pointer as to the labor vete, which is a very notable factor in the national contest. The democratic managers have been as- serting thet the labor vote ts almost solidly for Mr. Bryan, and wil! so record itself on election day. No particular reasons have been cffered. The declaration has simply eon made and reiterated, largely on the strength of the assurances of many leaders in trade organizations who are free silver- ites, that the Wage-eerners are for free silver, end that nothing can prevent their acting together in this election. Tne fact that many of them are members of Me- Kinley clubs and wear McKinley buttons if thelr coats has been brushed aside with the assertion that that is a mere to save them from importunity on the part of reputlican canvassers; that their loyalty to Mr. Bryan is pledged, and that the pledge will be redeenred. Mr. Bryan’s confidence of success is based, it is said, very largely on this as- surance of the democratic managers. It is observed that Fis arguments are frequently addressed directly to the wage-earners, and it is part of his program to speak in the labor centers of Indiana and Illinois. His particular solicitude is for the support of labor. He considers that the farmers are bis beyond the power of the opposition to draw away or estrange. When Vermont voted overwhelmingly against silver the democratic managers re- plied that the voice of labor had not been lifted in tne election. When Maine follow- ed suit the same reply was made. But now that Connecticut has followed Vermont and Maine and declares for the republicans, the republicans contend that the voice of labor has been lifted, and lifted against silver. Connecticut, as they point out, is ful! of wage-earners, It is one of the great- est of the manufacturing states. Labor !s pewerful there, and is well organized. And throughout the state on Monday, as the re- turns show, labor went to the polls and cast its ballots for the republican tickets. The contests, it is true, were local, but it was well understood that the result would count in the national calculations, and hence the national contest was kept in view. Now, es the republicans urge, if labor in Connecticut records itself against silver, why may not labor in other states be ex- pected to take a like stand? Labor has very much the same stake in the question everywhere. It finds different employment in the different states, but employment is the main object everywhere, and good pay for it. The Connecticut men want the milis open and running full time. And so do the men of Illinois, Indiana, and where you please. The republicans inquire with some show of reason: What is there longer to justify the claim that labor is solidly op- posed to sound money, when in one of the states where it is strongest it helps to achieve a pronounced republican victory? ——_+ = —__ ‘The death of Du Maurier takes from the public a man who will be sincerely mourned.

There certainly is no moths in them.” “I can't help my sympathetic nature,” he responded. “Sometimes it leads me to an absurd extreme. Of course, I'm glad that the moths are gone, but—and he sigh- ed deeply—it must have been a horrible death.” He Grew Satirical. “That's a splendid heating apparatus you put into my house last year,” said the il, sarcastic man.

But when a cool spell like the pres- ent comes on we realize that it has great possibilities. If you could regulate it a little {t would be all right.” “I guess we can regulate it almost any way you want it.” “That's good. I believe in always looking out for the future. And if you'll have somebody come up and regulate it so that it keeps the house as cold in July as it does in October, we'll burn fires in the grates all winter and never say a word.” A Plaint From the Highway. “This is a hard world,” said Meandering Mike, as the dog whom he had hit with a piece of pastry went howling away. ‘Whut'’s de matter?” inquired Plodding Pete. “Dem felks is too onfeelin’ fur anything.
