As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, i THE STAR should not be ressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to or Business Depart- Defying the Law. A spirit of defiance of the law seems to have been aroused ameng certain corpora- tlons doing business in and around the Dis- trict of Columbia. The street railway com- panies particularly exhibit symptoms of the presence of this virus in their cor- porate veins, and unless the most vigorous measures are taken to eradicate the germs an epidemic of contempt for the statutes and the authorities is among the grave possibilities of the near future. The Eck- ington and Soldiers’ Home road is respon- sible in a measure for this defiant attitude on the part of the corporations toward the regulations as they exist. It persisted in the effort to maintain the overhead trolley limits after the law their removal, until the threatened imprisonment of the active agents of the company. A few days ago the Washington and Glen Echo com- pany decided to take the law into its own hands, after the Commissioners had re- “1 to grant a permit to extend the racks from the old terminus to @ closer connection with the Chevy Chase road. This ¢xtension invelved the crossing at srade of an important public highway. It was the object, too, of a bill introdu poles within the city had commanded courts the matter S they were await the will of Congr the e3 to act. thstanding the lack of authority, the company by stealtiy, un the cover of darkness, m extens: is now enjoying the advar hat it affords. Inspired, perhaps. by the success of this defian of the authorities, the Washing- Alexandria and Falls Church Railroad Co ‘any assumed an attitude of superior- i to w. and the Police Court is how engaged in adjusting the responsibili- ‘* that have resulted. The last ¢: isa most flagrant specimen of contempt for all r tions and reason. The Aqueduct p is questionably in the direct line of the rapid-transit facil: that have ‘ovided on the Virginia side of the river. it is desirable that the railroads shoul! be permitted to cross it to accom- modate their s.

It is too narrow to allow vantry, and pointing the way, along a pathway of progress and duty. They speak soberly and advisedly, and absolutely with- out even the suggestion of selfishness.

Afier pe alone, stent refusals by the authori- ties, including the Secretary of War, to i the necessa: order, the company now attempts to lay its tracks upon the tridge without authority and by stealth, placing its officers cuted ue position to be prose- and severely punished. However much the public may be accommodated by this extension or by that of the Glen Echo road, the fact remains that there are two ways to accomplish an end, and that in “se instances the companies have chosen the wreng way. the illegal way, and the * that earns for them the condemnation who believe that public safety and neral security lie only in strict obedience io the statutes as they are written. —__+ eo. An American Jingo. nator Morgan of Alabama Francisco en route to Henolulu. the Hawaiian Islands servation is in San He visits for pleasure and ob- and there is every reason :o predict that he will greatly enjoy him- self. Pleasure and profit, indeed, will re- sult to the peopie of Hawaii quite as muca as to the senator. He will find in them s‘rongest elements of character and progress, and they will find in him the traits that go to make the representative erican statesman and patriot. Those who oppoce what is termed the «0 policy are pleased to refer to it as i represented some new-fangled, half- baked conception of American progres: One might suppose, indeed, from such de- scriptions that only very young and very mexperienced men were subscribing to it— a word, that a set of turbulent and reckless spirits were trying to seize the government and start it along a pathway of certain and very great disaster. But is Senator Morgan a young or an inexpert- enced man? On the contrary, is he not a type of the men who are behind the policy of which the annexation of Hawaii is to be an expression? Has not the policy been most carefully thought out, and by men who, like the Alabama senator, have given years of service to the government in posts of the highest responsibility? It is a cheering sign of the times, in- jeed, to see veterans of approved char- acter and the highest ability urging the secure. Theirs are not deliverances de- signed to attract attention to themselves the hope of personal preferment or any nd of political reward. They love the ountry, have faith in its destiny, and desire only to see it meet every emergency, great or small, as it arises. If men of that stamp and experience are jingoes, there 1s no offensiveness in the word, ‘however much may be intended by those who use it. + eo —___ Up to the present iime the Kansas cyclone is the only air motor that is re- lied on fcr results and tt is unpopular, —__ +++ —__ Seth Low's Candidacy. It may be possible for the situation in Greater New York to become more compli- cated than it now fs, but one hesitates to admit as much. Primarily, the proposition was for a non-partisan administration cf the new municipality. Why, it was asked, should not the affairs of a great city be cenducted without regard to national or state politics? Why not call men to office solely on the strength of their capacity for affairs and their character for probity and progressive public spirit? Why should aot all those holding to this view unite on a ticket and try to elect it? ‘The proposition was a geod one, and many influential men indorsed it. A citizens’ union was formed with that object in view, end the organization at once brogght for- ward Mr. Seth Low ss the ideal candidate for mayor. There was much to commend the suggestion. Mr. Low is a man of ability and of experience in the manage- ment of municipal affairs, and a citizen without reproach. He was consulted about the matter and replied that he would make the race if it appeared that he could unite all the forces in favor of the object aimed at. On the strength of this the Citizens’ Union—which, however, contains only a part of those declaring for good govern- ment for the city—pushes again to the front and formally tenders its nomination to Bir. Low, and Mr. Low, without waiting fer the nomination to be seconded, ac- cepts it. ‘The question now takes a partisan turn. ‘The republican organization complains of a disposition on the part of the Citizens’ Union to “boss things.” It resents what it characterizes as the premature and injudi- cious action of the union. Every corsider- ation of fair and wise dealing required, it insists, that it, the republican organization, should not be threatened in any way. Good government for the city is in the main comprehended in the purpose to prevent if possible the return of Tammany Halli to power. The fight, as the republicans sec it, is between Tammany and the foes of Tam- many, and as they will throw the great bulk of the vote in November against Tam- many, this attempt of the Citizens’ Union to coerce them in the matter of the mayor- alty candidate is regarded by them as an unfriendly act. They so speak of it, and while Senator Platt, who is at the head of the republican organization, does not de- ciare in so many words that the organiza- tion will not accept Mr. Low, the Indica- tions are that it will net, and that a repub- lican candidate will appear in the field. If a republican candidate is put up, sup- port for him, it is plain enough, will be solicited on the ground, paradoxical as tt may appear, that he is both a partisan and a non-partisan candidate. Non-partisan ends, it will be claimed, will be attaized by the defeat of Tammany Hall, while parti- san ends will be served by the clection of a candidate who represents in his own views as well in those of his supporters, the sound money cause, against which last year Tammany as a political organization cast its vote. if Tammany is to be defeated, the anti- Tammany men must get together. Divided as they now are, Richard Croker's smiling countenance is fully accounted for. ——>+e—___. Another Death-Trap. It is deplorable that the danger points along the lines of the steam railroads en- tering Washington are being discovered only by means of the deadly accidents that happen at these places. The wretched condition of affairs at Deanewood, caused hy the criminal economy of the railroad officials, was revealed by the death of Judge Claughton and Miss Custis. The fact that another road dares to violate the regulations as to the maintenance of safe- ty gates at two important crossings was brought to light through the Killing of a horse and the narrow escape of two per- sons a few nights ago. Last night still an- other death-trap was disclosed when a carriage containing a well-known citizen, his wife and two friends was demolished by a train ut a crossing at which -the de- vices for preserving™#ife and limb had be- come inactive an hour previous. The misfortune is that these facts are not discovered by the police or some other public agents before they causé destruction. However the latest accident” may resuit, whether it causes death or mere maiming, it should stimulate all the authorities, from the Commissioners down to the po- licemen on their heats, to the greatest en- ergy in seeking to force the railroad com- pany to hire the men whose services are demanded by common sense and a decent respect for life and limb. The present condition of affairs, with the railro, well-nigh intolerable, and in time it must cease, but meanwhile it is required that the danger be reduced to a minimum through the employment of every safety device possible. If the companies will not voluntarily follow the suggestions of prac- tical economy and provide means of pro- tecting the public that will surely save hundreds of times their cost in damages resulting from such accidents as those that have recently occurred, then the public authorities must take the matter into their own hands and through the penal laws force such action. Watclti® Schedules. The publication of the new ‘street sweep- ing schedules at length «should operate to increase the gfiiciency of the inspection service materially, by enroljing the whole community on the list of inspectors. With the information thus furnishéd, each citizen may know at once when a street or a block has been neglected and a prompt report of such neglect by him to the superinten- dent should be the means of preventing a repetition of the offense by the contractor's agents, as well as of punishing him for the lapse. It might be well for the superin- tendent to inaguurate a system whereby a daily report of the penalties imposed upon the contractor for such violations of hia specifications and schedules may be given to the public through the press. Thus, if a resident should report a case of neglect, he could later know whether his informa- tion had been acted upon by the authori- ties. This plan would, in effect, increase by many thousands the present inspection force. It would bring into use a small army of persons alert for omissions and poor work and a check would not only be im- posed upon the contractor, but upon the official inspectors as well. The latter have a large area to cover and may be expected to leave an occasional margin between per- fect and actual performance of duty, and in no better way could the system be made to insure a maximum degree of efficiency on the part of all concerned. As long as the contracting system must be maintained, it is proper that every effort be made to guarantee that the community gets good returns for his money. Therefore, the schedules that were printed in Tuesday's Star should be preserved by ail citizens for future reference, and as the basis of a complaint whenever the machines that are due to perform certain work, at a fixed time. do not put in an appearance. ———_+ ++ _____ Now is the time to jubilate over the re- cent rapid rise of the Washington base ball club in the ranks of the National League.

We must do our shouting now, for next week may, unhappily, tell another story.

Absolute destitution already thousands who are on t! pressed. The trails are lined with suffer- ing men and women. The camps at Dyea and Skaguay are described as filled with would-be miners, without means, and gamblers, thugs and the usual assortmeat of swindlers, eager for a chance to prey upon the lucky ones, and to get rid of the impoverished ones by sending them out on the trails. The mining camps themselves are filling up so rapidly that the food sup- plies are already growing scarce. Scurvy is reported to have killed half a hundred thus far, and this is but a tithe of those who will certainly fall victims to this dis- ease if the conditions are as bad as they are reported. Meanwhile the steamers are carrying hundreds more, even when it is known that a large proportion of them cannot possibly reach the gold fields this autumn. The working season is practi- cally over now, and there will soon be two most serious problems at hand, demanding immediate solution. One of these will be presented by the congested trails and camps on this side of the gold fields, where great suffering must necessarily prevail unless the thousands now waiting there can be returned to their homes. The other will be harder to meet, being the relief of the men who, if reports are true, will soon be in imminent danger of starvation and death from disease, and who will be be- yond reach for many weeks. The prob- lem is the more perplexing because of the scattering of the destitute ones over the territory of two nations. Presumably, the great majority of these men, who are likely to become subjects of national concern, are citizens of the United States, and at -pres- ent many of them are now on the territory of their own government, but it is not probable that if conditions should arise call- ing for radical relief measures there will be any hesitancy on the part of either the United States or Canada to do all that is possible to succor the starving and the dying. ——__ 2 0 _____ The unvarnished candor with which Sena- tor Gallinger addresses Mr. Schurz leads to the suspicion that he may be in training for the State Department. ——_—_+e=____ The success achieved by the Washington club on the home diamond is another refu- tation of the proverb concerning a prophet in his own country. ———__+¢»—____ Mr. Platt beleves that the right of a party organization to exist must be demon- strated.

Drawing 2 Fine Distinction. “Is this the town that you hate talked about so much as a summer resort?” in- quired the man who sneers. Yes,” was the reply of the man with a palin leaf fan. ‘You must recollect that we got through July and August very well. I never said anything about it as an autumn resort.’’ A Literal Mind. “It does seem to me,” said young Mrs. Torkins, ‘that some people are more for- tunate than they Geserve to be.’” “To whom do you refer?” inquired her husband. “That politician you were reading abvut.

An Unbiased Verdict. “What is this?” inquired the magazine editor, after some thought. = “It's a poem,” replied the contributor. “Are you sure?” “Well, of course, it is a difficult matter to determine at the outset whether anything is real poetry or not.” “Vl tell you what we'll do. We'll sub- mit it to an absolutely fair test. We'll send it to a compositor—a disinterested man— to whom neither of us will say a word, and let him set it up. If he chops it up into short lines and begins. at each of them with a capital letter, it’s poetry; but if he sends back word that you ought to study ptnctuation, it’s prose.” The Washington Nine. It started from the bottom place, A weakling in the base ball race. Men laughed its motto there to trace, “Excelsior!” But, like the youth extolled in song, As patiently it trudged along, it flung one answer to the throng— “Excelsior!” St. Louis, likewise Louisville, It passed; Pittsburg and also Phil- Acelphia, shouting with a will, “Excelsior!” Tell us, e’en though a pang It cost, Are you but climbing to get lost Like him and murmur, ’mid a frost, “Excelsior?” A Merited Rebuke. From the Chicsgo Times-Herald. Some of the newspaper accounts of the Luetgert trial disclose an apparent deter- mination to convict the accused before the testimony is all in. Some famous repor- torial word painters are turned loose on the prisoner as he sits in the dock. He is fighting for his life under a fusillade from the reportorial batteries of sensational jour- nalism. It is bad enough to make all sorts of deductions from the man’s gestures and facial expressions. It is cruel enough to say that the man is guilty because he does not smile. But to attempt to give a pic- ture of the man’s thoughts and make them @ proof of guilt is not only a violation of the properties of journalism as understood by reputable newspaper men, but is an af- front to public decency. In England the bench would not toler- ate for a mement such newspaper criti- cism on a pending trial. Ought not Judge Tuthill to speak a word of warning to these reporters? Give the man a chance. _——_ 0-2 The New Head of the C From the Utica, N. ¥., Press, The news that 8. N. D.
