6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY.............. August 7, 1897. Editor. CROSBY S. NOYES THE EVENING STAR a regular and permanent F: y Circalation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As 2 News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor, (7 Im order to aveid delays, on ac- to any individual connected with the bat simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = —— A Blo®@ for Spoils. There are,signs in several quarters of a disposition on the part of spoilsmen to make the civil service law an issue just now. The Star noted yesterday the rebuke of such an effort over in Maryland. Com- plaints from office-hunters are heard in Kentucky, and the suggestion has been made that the matter be brought forward at the republican state convention next week. The democrats are trying to use the President's recent civil service order as a factor against Mr. Hanna in Ohio. So far, however, there is not the slightest assur- ance of the success of the scheme, nor ary reason to believe that it represents the par- poses of any material number of men any- where. There have of course been disappoint- ments growing out of the distribution of the patronage. The task has never been an easy one at any time. It has been a very difficnit one this time. The extension of the civil service law had removed so many places from the arera where formerly they had been fought for that an entirely new situation was presented to Mr. McKinley. The places at his disposal were not numer- ous, but the crowd was as large as om any previous occasion of like character. In the absexce of any miraculous power, the Pres- ident was unable to make the few loaves and fishes go round, and some of those whe were not filled have gone home in a com- plaining mood. But resolutions offered either at county or at state conventions denouncing the civil service law, or criticising the President for administering it, will accomplish nothing beyond advertising individual discontent. Nobody has been misused. The law was on the books last year, and it entered into the national campaign. The republican party indorsed it, and Mr. McKinley as the par- ty’s presidential candidate indorsed it, and pledged himself if elected to uphold it. The full scope of its application was known, as also the fact that still further extensions were considered advisable and would be pressed by its friends. So that this law, which had been so frequently indorsed, was indorsed again last year at an election which brought out the largest vote ever polled in the country, and what the Presi- dent has done in the one order he has Is- sued to strengthen it in its application is strictiy in iine with what was to be ex- pected of him after a fair reading of his previous deliverances on the subject. If there are republicans anywhere who yoted their party ticket last year under an idea that their candidate, if elected, could, under pressure, be brought to violate his professions and pledges they made a mis- take which they ought to be ashamed to confess. ——___+++—______ “Wait Till the Car Stops!” Accidents to passengers alighting from and boarding street cars have been so fre- quent in Washington since the introduction of rapid transit on its principal lines that conductors have been generally warned by their employers to exercise great care in starting and stopping their cars. One re- sult of this precaution, however, is un- pleasant, and it is a common experience of the patrons of the street cars that while the conductors are cautious in one way, they have grown to be indifferent in an- other. When a passenger gives the signal for the car to stop rowadays, especially if he occupies a seat in a summer car, he will almost invariably hear from the conductor the familiar cry of “Wait till the car stops!” That warning is well enough. It is intended to diminish the risk of acci- dents by the haste of passengers, partic- ularly at crowded points. But it often hap- pens that almost immediately after this cry is uttered and the car is brought to a stand-still, before the passenger has had time to freely alight from the step, the conductor, with one eye on his schedule, gives his starting bell the double tap, on goes the lever of grip or controller, and the passenger finds himself with only a slight margin of safety. The care to be exercised by conductors, gripmen and motormen dogs not cease with the warning cry. The courts cannot in justice excuse the com- pany from responsibility for accidents that happen merely because the conductor has warned the passengers to “Wait till the car stops!” —+e+o—____ ‘The sending of one of our war ships to a foreign country to be docked for necessary repairs or overhauling, because there is no dry dock in the United States large enough to hold her, is a spectacle that ought to set Americans to thinking, and, possibly, to blushing, also. This performance, with some of the other late unsavory experiences with our naval vessels, is calculated to pro- voke the inquiry whether we really know enough to organize and run a navy. —- +> ___ The Evolution of the Bicycle. The annual meeting of the League of American Wheelmen, which has been held this year in Philadelphia, is growing to be @ great event. Since this organization was formed the conditions surrounding the use of the bicycle have materially changed. In the beginning the wheel was used main- jy for pleasure. It was not constructed on lines that permitted its practical daily use in business. It was at best a dangerous device, the large main wheel being too proné t> topple when the least obstacles were encountered, giving the rider serious tumbles. The falling distance, too, was much greater. The size of the wheel pre- vented its easy storage and in consequence of all these facts the machine was mainly utilized for runs into the country. The formation of clubs followed closely upon the introduction of the wheél and it wes soon fpund that there was a fascination about the swift, smooth riding that would have drawn thousands more into its use were it not for the dangers and difficulty attending it. The result was the gradual evolution of the “safety” machine, whichg with its lower wheels and its convenient arrangement, enabiing riders to mount and dismount with ease and without risk, has revolutionized many departments of human effort. , It ts probably impossible to state the number of bicycles now in use in this country. That number unquestionably yuns well into the millions. In this city alone it is estimated that there are over fifty thousand bicycles in constant use, at the very least, and some estimates place the number as high as one hundred thuu- sand. Men and women of all station ride. The wheel instead of being a mere pleasure machine is used to carry merchants, bank- ers, clerks, laborers and statesmen to iheir places of daily endeavor. Women have adopted the wheel, the former prejudice as to this innovation having entirely disap- peared. The device of the “drop frame” and the adjustment of garments have per- mitted this departure and it is asserted by some authorities that the use of the wheel by women is having in the main a most beneficial effect. There are, to be sure, some disadvantages arising from this wonderfully general adop- tien of the bicycle by all classes and both sexes. It has tended to make the strsets Tess safe for pedestrians. It has interfered seriously with certain Hnes of jegitimate trade. It has caused an appalling num>er of disastrous accidents. But at the same time it has added materially to the working time and the recreation time of the world. by permitting much more rapid personal transit than ever. This increase of speed and consequent diminishing of time used in passing to end fro-time which is ordinari- ly to be regarded as wasted, from the utili- tarian point of view—have necessarily lengthened the day of individuals without making @ corresponding drain upen their mvscular and nervous systems. In some Isolated cases, to be sure, this gain is more than counterbalanced by the bad physical results of the silly antics of the scorcher and others of his kind. Thus in its present stage the L. A. W., which is the great official body of the American “bicycle users, Is a type of the really marvellous development that has come about in a single decade, a transfor- mation notable in the pistory of human effort. ——\!_r+o—___- The Sale -af Poisons. The druggist whcse views on the subject of the sale of poisons were given in last evening’s Star will hardly find that he has struck a responsive chord in the local breast. He takes the ground that the sub- ject of the dispensation of potsons should be left wholly io the discretion of the phar- macists, who, as intelligent men, may be relied upon to use care in their sale of the deadly drugs. It is not a matter of senti- ment, he says, but of business. That is precisely the ground that the protesting public has taken in its demand for vigorous prosecutions and for more stringent laws if the present statutes are not sufficient. There is too much sentiment now about the need of supplying morphine and similar stimulants to the vi¢tims.of such habits. Those habits are evils, not necessarily con- fined in their effects to the individual vic- tims, but affecting the physical welfare of others. The matter is practical enough to werran. the mcst careful restrictions being pleced upon all branches of trade that con- tribute in the least to such demoralizing terdencies. It is to be observed that most of the drug- gists who have given their views to The Star agree that more severe statutes will Operate to their own advantage by reliev- ing them of undue responsibility and by re- moving the ever-present danger of prose- cution for what might be honest infractions of the present regulations. It will not do for the pharmacists or for any one of them to assert that in sq grave a matter the pecple and their authorized legal agents have no right to interfere with the details of trade. Such interference is practiced, as ‘The Star indicated the other day, in the case of the alcoholic liquor traffic, and is far more properly exercised when the more direct and immediately disastrous poisons @re under consideration. It is easy to cry “blue laws” when sensible restrictions are placed upon any branch of trade for the palpable benefit of the entire community, but it is difficult to sustain the objection in reasonable terms. The purpose of strict laws and their thorough enforcement along these lines is not, as the druggist seems to intimate, to prevent suicides, for it is plain that there will always be an abundance of means for self-destruction. The object rather is to enable the law and its agents to keep a watch over the traffic in these deadly elements and to guard against in- dividual errors of judgment. BS A Gi dian Champion. A Canadian rider won first place in the great bicycle races at Philadelphia yester- day, and the District competitors were not in the procession. This achievement by a subject of Queen Victoria, however, is not unacceptabie. The Canadians are virtually first cousins of the folks on this side of the line, and as it is a family matter anyhow the results do not matter materially. The renewed success of the American tennis players over the visiting Englishmen, which was made complete yesterday in the matches at Hoboken, makes the transfer of the bicycle championship to Loughead the easier to bear. The Gentlemen of Phil- adelphia have now finished their cricket matches ebroad and are on their way home, with a long string of defeats. That chapter of international sport, therefore, is closed for the season, and now the time is at hand for the accumulation of a margin on this side. In this effort Mr. Larned is doing good work. Mr. Ten Eyck has al- ready donated his share, and all that re- mains to make the season complete ts a match between British and American } yachts. It is safe to believe that in such an event the year's balance of success would easily rest on this side of the ocean. ——_--+e___ Value of the Bathing Beach. A young man was drowned the other day in Little River, flowing between Analostan island and the Virginia shore. Though he could not swim he went to this swift and treacherous stream with companions for a bath with a fatal result. This tragedy gives additional force to the contention that the public bathing beach is worthy of general support and liberal means for its maintenance. Had the young man gone to the beach instead of to this isolated and dangerous place he would probably have been living now. The beach is now too small, however, as a visit to it any after- neon during this heated period will demon- Strate. A few thousand dollars could profit- ably be spent to provide more floats and dressing rooms and to furnish additional safety precautions. In short, nothing should be left undone at this necessary in- stitution to make it so attractive to the boys and men of the city that the practice of bathing elsewhere in the public streams will be quickly reduced to 4 minimum, ——+ +s ____ Australia’s Attorney Genéral, after pay- ing £6,000 for the extradition of a mur- derer who would -probably have made America his permanent residence and given his government no further annoyance, is inclined to think that paying cash for trouble is even less excusable than borrow- ing it. —_>++2—____ The Armor Plate Inquiry. It is thought that the naval. experts who are to report on the advisability of estab- “ishing a government armor plate factory will be able to submit their findings in time for action at the next session of Congress if that body should see fit to move then in the matter. The inquiry will necessarily consume all the time ncw intervening, for there is much ground to be covered, many matters of first consequence are to be con- sidered, and the magnitude of the interests involved requires that the recommenda- tions should be based upon all of the perti- nent fats. The natural expectation is that if the board should conclude that it is ad- visable for the government to enter upen this work they will report in favor of the establishment of the factory in this city, thus following the excellent example set im locating here the naval gun foundry. There are many reasons why Washington should be chosen. It is naval authority, so that all the work can be carried on under the diréct of the Secretary and his civil sistants. The gun cellent nucleus for such machinery, of course, the Umit of its capacity, but there are tain accessories at I i eeke A to be of service in the manufacture of claimed that Washington the source of the iron and be convenient. ‘his. Fae e ad ? i H f vanced when it was first proposed to or- ganize a gun foundry here., The latter re- quires enormous freighting, and yet it is found that this is done without much cost and trouble. The plant should not be lo- cated at a considerable distance from the coast, for it should be within fair range of the waters frequented by vensels. Nor should it be too exposed to the possible in- Toads of an enemy from the sea. Wash- ington seems to present the proper combi- nation of accessibility, safety and conve- nience. It has been found to afford such a combination in the case of the gun foundry. On the general. proposition advanced in some quatters that the government should not engage in such e work it is urged that in order to produce reliable armor the serv- ices of expert men are required, and that to secure such men large salaries must be paid. It is recalled that the same is true of any private enterprise. Indeed it is found that tke private plants require a higher salaried force than the government insti- tution of equal capacity. The government's aim is first to secure trustworthy armor Plates for its naval vessels, second to re- duce their cost to the lowest limit com- patible with the requisite standards. This has been done in the case of gun-making, and it can undoubtedly be done in the case of armor manufatture. Again tt is to be recalled that the same argument was ad- vanced in opposition to the creation of the foundry, and experience has proved it to be false. But even if it should be true that the undertaking will require the hiring of high priced experts, it is also true that the government will save the large profits that unquestionably have been going in the past to the armor makers, and it can thus afford to pay good men good wages. The ultimate economy of the proposition is evi- dent. —_++2—___ After looking over the accounts and noting the amount of American money taken in, Great Brigain must feel some regret that arrangements cannot be made to hold diamond jubilees oftener. ——__-- 0 The only feature of the Spanish cam- paign that goes on according to program is General Weyler’s salary.
