THE EVENING STAR has a regular end permanent Family Circulntior. much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning: or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. o7Im erder to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Of Interest to Labor. The report of the committee appointed by the Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago to investigate the wages and gen- eral condition of labor in Mexico under statutory bimetallism and practical silver monometallism is a document worthy the perusal and acceptance of every friend of labor in this country. The facts presented are true to the very letter, and they show @ svate of case which the wage-earner has only seriously to consider to enable him to do his full duty by himself and his neigh- bor at next month's election. ‘That the opening of the mints of this country free to the silver of the world would result in lowering the finances of the United States to a silver basis admits of but little, if any, question, and that silver monometallism would affect business conditions here as it does in other countries where it operates is equally certain. Noth- ing could prevent the immutable laws of trade and finance from operating here as they do elsewhere. The very size and im- portance of the country would contribute to the overwhelming disaster. The larger the field, the greater the destruction, and the greater the fall thé more severely shaken would be the institutions of the government. We are now using the best money in the world, and, hard as the times are, the general condition of the people is the best in the world. To give that up for money worth only half a3 much would be to drop from the top to the bottom and wrench every bone in our fiscal body. But that would only inaugurate the diffi- culty here. Accustomed as he is to a good house, to good clothing, a good meal, and change in his pocket and a balance in the savings bank, what would the temper of the American wage-earner be after a short wrestle with a policy calculated to reduce him to the American equivalent of the con- dition of his Mexican brother? The fact is well recognized that the American work- irgman would not in any case permit him- self to be forced to the level of the Mexican peon who has no aspirations beyond the supply of the bare necessaries of life, and who is content with starvation wages paid in a depreciated money while his employer is paid for his products in gold, the world’s money. But why should the American vorkingman fasten upon himself a system which threatens him with a fierce and protracted struggle before he can even regain what he now enjoys? The Mexican peon is not what he is merely because Mexico uses silver mcney, but he is held where he is naturally by a financial system which is adapted only to cheap-labor coun- tri and which is utterly unfit for a land in which a people of wage-earners legislate for themselves. —____ + «= -—____ Millions in Danger. Valuable property was destroyed by fire in the southern portion of this city yester- day morning. Perhaps the destruction would have been as great had the fire alarm system been in good working order, but the chances are all in the opposite direction. Jt is well, of course, to be thankful because the flagration failed to assume vast pro- porticns, but mingled with the gratitude there may reasonably be much apprehen- sion at the wretched condition of the fire alarm Nearly two weeks have one by since a hurricane blew down many poles and destroyed the usefulness of a large number of wires, yet the alarm sys- tem upon which we depend for speedy noti- fication of the fire department is disorgan- ized to such an exient as to be practically valueless. That this should be the case at all 1s extraordinary. Congress has been asked to appropriate sufficient cash to make possible the substitution of conduits for poles, but the requests have always been denied, therefore the ancient pole method is still in vogue and is at this time an al- most total wreck Superintendent Miles says he has done everything in his power to repair the damages. But the effort should be redoubled and the Commissioners should set the system In order within a day or two, no matter what the cost. It is stated by Superintendent Miles that strenuous endeavor will be made next win- ter to secure congressional approval of the conduit plan. All Washington pledges itself to support that effort. Meanwhile everything possible should be done to hasten the conclusion of the repair work. Every hour of incompleteness is a menace to millions of dollars’ worth of property. —— Coasting and Scorching. A New York magistrate has just dis- charged a prisoner accused of scorching on his bicycle in the public streets, the defense offered being that the man was merely ceasting, and he excused himself by saying that it was hard on the wheel to back- pedal, appealing for confirmation to the service. magistrate, himself a wheelman. The court dismissed the case with these defini- tions of “coasting” and “scorching:” “Coasting, with the feet off the pedals, is not scorching. Seorching is when a man bends himself double and works the pedals like mad. Coasting is distinctly letting the machine run itself. If the prisoner ha while rapidly coasting, run into somebody he would have oeen liable to arrest for careless riding or driving, but not as a bicy- scorcher even then. The local regulations do not prohibit “coasting” except as far as they put a penalty on wheeling beyond twelve miles an hour on stretches and tive miles an hour at street crossings. There ts, in addition, a regulat‘on requiring riders to keep their wheels under control at all times, and it has been held by some authorities that this is not the case in coasting, although the testimony of riders is to the contrary. —_- e +__ John J.

If any question has existed as to the size of the vote to be thrown this year it is now being dispelled by the registrations for November. They have begun in a num- ber of the states, and they show a pro- found appreciation on the part of the peo- ple of the importance of the issue pre- sented. There is every indication, indeed, that the vote will be the largest ever casi. Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky are among the debatable states, and varying stages of registration have been reached im each. The figures presented are being studied with an eager interest. The cities and towns are responding in a way to leave no doult about the influential part they are to play in the great drama. Bai- timofe, considered the Key of the Mary- Jand situation, shows extensive prepara- around the house instead of hiring a man,” tions. St. Louis, standing not so influev- tially to the Missouri situation, but still a great power in the state, will throw an. enormous vote. Louisville stands to Ken~ tucky about as St. Louis does to Missvuuri, and gives assurances of eclipsing all pre- vious records. The towns are in line, with similar results. All have set new pegs ahead of the old ones. The significance of all this is necessarily at this time purely a matter of conjecture so far as the parties are concerned. Both parties claim to be encouraged by the figures. The democracy, claiming to be as- sured of the support of organized labor, sees in them the sign of triumph. The cities and towns are the seats of labor, and labor, the democracy thinks, is getting ready for the work. The republicans afe equally confident of benefitting. With the manufacturer, the merchant, the commer- cial traveler, and the railroad men from manager to track-walker, all shouting for McKinley, the republicans are unable to see how it is possible for them to lose. They have been unusually busy in the cities and towns, and their club area are evidence of their industry. The argument favors the republicans. The business world undoubtedly supports Mr. McKinley, and any unusual demon- strations in business centers are fairly attributable to business influences. The business men are bestirring themselves. Feeling that everything is at stake, they are exerting themselves to make their influence felt. That they are men of in- fluence in their homes is open to no ques- tion. Who better deserves the respect of any community than the men who by their industry, their careful investments, their public spirit and enterprise, bulld up and advance the community? They are among the community’s most tireless laborers. A policy designed to strike them down is aimed as well at and would disastrously affect every wage-earner in the land. ———_——_+ «»—____ While Archbishop Ireland has his doubts about the propriety of a political sermon, he reserves the right to be interviewed as a citizen, and in that capacity he has made one of the clearest and ablest arguments of the sound-money campaign. ———_+ = ____ Tom Watson is now protesting his af- fection for Bryan.

In an instant he had leaped into his clothes and started down stairs. “My diamonds!” she exclaimed. hide them?” “You might hide “Shall I them if you want to,” he arswered, pausing at the door. “But I don’t think diamends would be much inducement to them. My theory is that they've somehow found out about that ton of anthracite coal we bought yester- day.” Just as Efectual. “I don't see why you object to helping she said reproachfully. “I should think you'd rather enjoy it.” “Enjoy it!" “Yes. You can lose your temper just as thoroughly putting down a stair carpet as you can talking sixteen to one.” His Preference. Her father is a physician and an ad- mirer of culture. But he grows weary row and then of hearing Mabei play scales and five-finger exercises. After a half-hour of work from her exercise book she turned and said: “Father, I have taken up the study of theory.” “Have you?" “Yes. This,” she went on, striking a chord, “is a tonic.” “Mabel,” he answered in a tone of pa- tience sorely tried, “I’m ever so much obliged, but I don’t think that is what I need. But if you had a sedative that you could try on me I'd appreciate it more than tongue can tell.” Over. ayed. “Er man kin keep ergoin’ an’ an’ ergoin’ on, makin’ bluffs, foh er long time,” re- marked Erastus Pinkiey. ‘But somebody's gwine ter call im sooner or later. “Who's de tex eb dishere sermon?” “Razzer Joe.

The challenge sped, and thousands heard ‘The boid defiance hurled; These men, whose bosoms fierce were stirred, Would fight before the world! A difference of opinion led Their ire to corruscate; The populace stood by in dread And watched them toy with fate. “How shall we fight?” inquired the first. “We'll use the modern mode,” Came the reply; “we'll do our worst, With grammar as the code.” % And there was fearful carnage there In that arena vast, For each one brought an army fair, And valiant to the last. At morning, when the sun shone red, Ah, what a sight was there! The janitor affrighted fled, A creature of despair. For wounded subjects met his eye, And predicates, hurt sore; And various kinds of verbs Hmped by, Or writhed upon the floor. - The ghastly glimmer of that dawn Revealed a hideous score Of epithets impaled upon A barbed metaphor. . “We'll meet again,” the generals sald; “The victory is not clear. What though our cohorts there lie dead? Recruits are ever near!” And then the publie took a stand, And stoutly shouted, “Nay! We need the English language, and Y¥ou'll fight some other way!” . = . . .
