In two pedestrians Were knocked down by wheeimen. As a Tole. the bicycle riders are careful. It Is as much to their interest to avoid collisions as it fs that of pedestrians or the drivers of Vehicles. But unfortunately there exists a large class of wheel-users who cannot be relied upon, who are either desperately reckl taking all manner of unjustifiable risks and jevpardizing the safety of all around them, or are else incapable of con- trelling their machines, beginners who ven- ture into crowded streets long before the Rave learned to maintain their balance. Between the scorchers and ihe novices, the Pedestrians, drivers and careful bicyclists have a hard time keeping out of the hos- pitals. In Berlin the governmeat under- takes to reduce the risk of accidents by permitting wheelmen to ride on the streets only after they have passed through a s were test of their ability to use their m: chines safely and se: iy.

The case of General Rivera forcibly illus- trates and emuhasizes the attitude of Spain toward all of the insurgents in Cuba, frem commander-in-chief to private in the ranks. All alike are under the ban of ouliawry and assassinations by betrayal, or the swift orecesses of a drum-head court, merk Spain's course toward them. And yet © men are not villains, nor are they serting to the practices of out- laws. They are soldiers, organized as sol- diers everywhere else are organized. Their commander-in-chief is a man of high repu- tation in beth military and civil Ife. He the humane methods art. He does not attack the weak defenseless. He treats his prisoners caring for the wounded, and those with whose presence he can- not afford to encumber his flying colu if he were an outlaw he would butcher in- discriminately all Spaniards falling into his hands, und especially since his own fol- lowers meet no mercy when falling into Spanish hands. if General Gomez were to be taken by his enemies today, it would be in order under the Spanish code to put him to death before Monday night. A day for so-called trial, and a day and night for prayer, and then the ignominious end. A veteran of seventy honorable years, with a world-wide Feputation, would have to stand, blind- folded, with his back to the firing squad, and be dispatched Mke a criminal. The ‘aptain of his executioners, giving the fa- tal crder, might be some Spanish officer whom in his successful days in the field he had captured and then released. ‘This is the spirit of Spain's procedure in Cuba. With two hundred thousand armed men in the islands in command of one of her most widely known soldiers: with her Burse thin almost to invisibility from sup- porting ihe enormous armament, Spain yet imsists that there is no war in Cuba, but only an uprising here and there of bandits, who are entitled to, and should receive, swift extermination. Unfortunately for the reputation of this government, it has been forced, against the wishes of Congress and the people, fmto an acceptance of this plainly false Qppraisement of the Cuban sttuation There fs war in Cuba, and on Spain's part @ war waged for extermination, and he ‘Who can bemoan the fate of Crete and Atrenia and yet remain indifferent about Meanwhile the street are is wecing war after of th €uba would appear to have rather a sin- gularly constructed besom—an adjustable sort of heart, so to speak. soe In view of the articss manner in mumber of states have uadertaken to Nish dow reforms by legislation, ‘laim a little consideration her position on the pri Ne- in a a country’s recent experiences, 1 be d*feult to convince anybody but oner that too much rev nue while ts a bad thing for a coun- a overmment Architecture. About a fortnight ago The Star called the atter of ary Gage to his splendid « introduce reform: into th office. ¥ terd jortee ti as again brought to his appeal of cert pugh the tors to of s archi oved from the scope civil service law, under which it was piaced by President Clevelar 3 ago. This opens up t é © question of just how vernment ought to construct its Dufidings, what sort of talent it should emp! deste: them and what meth- ots uid be adopted to prosecute the actual work. The record of results—both @rtistic and financial—shows clearly that the present sys ‘s undestrable. It causes of architectural atro- cities, it creates a dangerous politica! ma- chine and wastes ihe government's time @né money by the employment of unbusi- jmees-Iike modes of procedure. A more fdeally incompetent and unsatisfactory scheme could scarcely be devised. Secre- tary Gage, as a business man, must be im- pressed with these facts if he should give amples of construction afforded by the public buildirgs in the various American cities that he has visited. Their monot- onous lack of any other element than mere plainness and utility, save where they be- come absurdiy ambitions, is thetr con- splcuous feature. This fault could be rem- i at a slight cost. The very best tal- ent the world affords is none too good or too expensive for employment when the nation undertakes the construction of great public buildings, worthy representa- tives of the country’s progress in wealth and culture. It was summoned to effect when the Congressional Library was de- signed end decorated, and the consequence $a monument worthy of the great repub- le. The premiums that should be paid to encourage the leaders of their art to sub- mit plans would petty in comparison with the results achieved. At the business | end of the bureau enough money could be saved by the adoption of sensible methods and by their strict administration to pay such premiums many times over. The ele- ment of rents alone in the case of the Washington city post office building is sufficient to prove the point. Had this Structure been in private hands it would doubtless have been completed and occu- pied at least two years ago, and the lease money paid for the use of private quar- ters for the wasted time mounts into the tens of thousands of dollars. Mr. Gage needs no particular advice in such an in- quiry. The discrepancies and weakness of the present system are so plain that a mere cursory inquiry into.the matter cannot but convil him that there is something rad- ically wrong, and that it is not the interpo- sition of the civil service law, which, in- deed, operates rather to the betterment of the service by removing this office as far as possible from the field of practical poll- ties and tends to prevent it from degener- ating into a mere spoils machine. The Sec- retary should first of all reaffirm the prin- ciple embodied in the civil service order of President Cleveland, and then seek to sup- plement the good thus done. ——— The Pie Must Go. War has been declared in New York upon the pie as a means of replerishing the wasting energies of public school children. The superintendent of schools has put pie on the black-list and his denunciation has been echoed by the board of education. A reform is about to. be sprung and if suc- cessful in Gotham it may spread to other cities and the ple industry will be seriously threatened. Here is what Superintendent Jasper says of the situation: “Many of the children no lunch at the schools don’t bring their lunches from their homes, but instead bring a few pennies to buy it with. They are left, therefore, en- uirely to their own judgment. Their judg- ment runs to pie. They go out to the candy stores and bakeries and get a plece of indi- stible mince, custard, lemon or pumpkin pie, and eat it usually without any warm drink to stimulate digestion. Sometimes they invest their pennies in cakes and cook- ies that are equally destructive to their health, or in a big stick of poisonous red candy. It is a serious matter with us. I believe the board of education will adopt the plan suggested.” This plan is for the establishment in each school building of a lunch counter at which the menu will consist of hot soup and light, Cigestible articles of diet—pie being strictly tabooed—at a small, nominal price. The experimental counter will soon be started and future action will depend on its success or failure. The public school authorities of Washington have already had their atten- tion called to this matter. It is a serious question and worthy of earnest considera- tion. “A sound mind in a sound body” is one of the safest foundation principles of good educational methods. To encourage or permit promiscuous lunching by unthink- ing youngsters whose impulses are general- those of mere gourmands Is to assail this doctrine and to open the way to weakened constitutions. The mental stimulus must be accompanied by a steady, wholesome bodily stimulus and no reputable authorities can be found to classify ple among the recognized creators of bone, tissue or gray matter. — _____ Rowing tn England and America. Oxford has for the eighth consecutive time won the great annual boat race with Cambridge in the fast lime of 19 minutes and 20 seconds. This is exceeded only by the record of the race of 18%, when Oxford won in 18 minutes and 47 seconds. Today's race was rowed at flood tide, with a brisk breeze blowing down the course, so the good time is thus in a measure explained. Interest in the event on this side of the water was sharpened by the presence of an American in each boat. There is a tendency abroad—and even here—to pro- claim the British oarsmen as superior to the American and it is confidently asserted that a general test would prove the asser- tion. History does not sustain it, however. The average time of the Oxford-Cambridge races is about the same as that of similar races Here under equal conditions. The English course is four and a quarter miles in length, a distance practically unknown in America, the eight-oar races here being usually over four or five mile courses. No English college crew ever won a race in these waters, that being sent here to par- ticipat in the Centennial regatta losing every event, while two years later the Co- lumbie College crew won a race in British waters. Climatic reasons prevent fair tests betweeen representative crews and perhaps the question of aquatic superiority may never be settled in convincing fashion. se It is to be feared that there are many otherwise enlightened people in this coun- try who labor under the impression that all a President of the United States has to do is to sign documents and shake hands. ———_+ +e —___ It is to be hoped that the stand taken by a democratic Congressman against the dress coat will not use Kansas to under- take a revival of the Simpsonian theory as to costum see - about the blow deliver- ed by Fitzsimmons that it landed not enly under the heart, but in a vulnerable part of the theatrical season.

It was sem!-official- ly announced in London that it had not been decided to demand the withdrawal of Greek and Turkish forces from the fron- tler, such a course appearing impracticable at present. Major General Rius Rivera, who succeeded Gen. Antonio Maceo in com. mand of the Cuban insurgent forces in t Province of Pinar del Rio, was captured by the Spanish. Mr. C. E. Crosby of New York, a correspondent of the Chicago Rec- ord, was killed while watching with field glasses a combat between Spaniards and insurgents in Cuba. President Kruger sus- pended his grandson from office for making @ speech in which he insulted Queen Vic- toria and Great Britain.

The affairs of the inaugural committee were wound up and a surplus of $7,344.20 was demonstrated, which it was voted to apply to the centennial inaugural charity fund; a complimentary banquet was ten- dered to Chairman Bell by his associates. The Commissioners, after hearing argu ments, decided to grant to the Capital Rail- way Company a permit to lay a Brown contact system of underground electric propulsion, despite the protests of the Ana- costia Company. The preliminary steps for the extension of Connecticut avenue were taken, right of way aiong a portion of the line having been secured. The tak- ing of the District census was begun by the police. Interest was revived in the propo- sition to remove the general post office to the new city post office building, it being shown that there is not room enough in the portion to be given to this purpose by over 27,000 square feet. The Herdic Phae- ton Company wound up its affairs and withdrew its coaches from the streets. Representative republican citizens of the District terdered a complimentary banquet to Chairman Babeock of the congressional republican campaign committee. Charles G. Conn, formerly publisher of the Wash- ington Times, was placed on trial in the Criminal Court on the charge of libeling Commissioner George Truesdell; the indict- ment was own to be faulty and the court directed a verdict of acquittal to be ren- dered. Judge Keith of the Virginia court of appeals decided in favor of the board of police commissioners of Alexandria in their contest against the mayor of that city over a matter of authority. The treas- urer of the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany, while eating his lunch, was robbed of $1,676, which he had just’ drawn from the bank: the thieves were not caught.
