6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. ........September 16, 1897. NOYES. CROSBY Ss. permanent Family C more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. c7In order to avoid delays, on ac- © of personal absence, letters to THE STA not be addressed 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. Mr. wis Letter of Acceptance. ‘The er addressed by Seth Low to the Citizens’ Union accepting the nomination of that organization for mayor of Greater ew York is a document so clear and so n@ as thoroughly to merit the very high praise that has been bestowed upon it. It ccvers all the questions involved in a frank and statesmanlike mahner. It is, indeed, worthy of its author, and out- policy which every good citizen within the limits of the new municipality ovght to assist in inaugurating. There can be no doubt that in the crea- tion of Greater New York the real intention was to secure for the people just such a vernm as Mr. Low describes. The population is very large, and the property terests are enormous. The question is od government—providing for the com- t of the people and fer the security of cir possessions at a reasonable cost and nusiness-like and straightforward man- fe ner. Mr. Low puts that construction upon ma and promises if clected mayor to exert himself to see that that end is ac- complished. He believes in a civil service divorced from “pulis” anq boss favor and based upon competency and good character, and he will see that the city enjoys such a one. He is a republican, but will not be gcverned by politics in administering the affairs of his office. He believes in good crder. but does not attempt to draw a dead line in any direction. He realizes that in a ity good order must be representa- tive good order, and hence in such matters as an excise law consideration must be given to all the people of the community. He thinks the Raines law capabje of being » the basis of wise and satisfactory 2 ordinances. And with praiseworthy tmphasis he points out the value of munici- pal franchises, and declares for such regu- lations on that score as will fully protect ¢ people's interests in and control over Such in general terms is the nature of Mr. Low's admirable letter. But, admirable as it is, its great value lies in the fact that iS a competent and altogether sincere man behind it. Mr. Low is no mere phrase- waker. He is not a politician angling for office with well worded promises. He has held office, and during his service demon- strated that not only his judgment but his integrity was entirely to be trusted. As mavor of Brooklyn when quite a young - laid the foundation of the reputa- ticn which has ever since insured him a place among the most highly respected and men in the state of New York. He is still a young man, in the prime of fine pewers, and stands for all that is necessary te give to Greater New York the govern- ment it needs and should have. It is no obtrusion of politics to point out that in his statement that he is a republi- n Mr. Low gives assurance that he ands at this time for sound money and the firmest maintenance of the public credit. The election of such a man, there- fore, to the mayoralty of Greater New York. although accomplished by a non- partisan movement and sclely for non- partisan purposes, would carry with it very decided comfort to the friends of sound money there and elsewhere. Z —___<+ ++ ___ Criminally Reckless Driving. A young girl was dangerously hurt yes- afternoon in this city as a conse- of the reckless driving of a boy. The victim of the accident, according to the statements of witnesses, was riding her bicycle carefully through a wide space when the wagon was brought down York avenue at a high rate of speed. ime way a collision resulted, and ally the wheel user re Her condition is critical and her ent unsafe rates of speed on the of drivers as well as of bicyclers. The ter are ng gradually taught the lesson of care and the number of seorchers seems »© growing smaller, while there rem: a large class of reckless drivers who ignore les of the road and the regflatio: Several accidents have oe. curred within the past year resulfing from the s of drivers, and yesterday's nly in minor ¢ » owners of veh tiem into the crowded streets in charge of all boys assume a share of the respon- the r for the actions of their agents, and wien an accident rs the burden must Test partly upon them. The danger is great at all times, but particularly so when high-tempered horses are placed in charge of youngsters who lack judgment, discre- tfon and skill in managing the animals. It is marvellous that more persons, on wheels and ‘oot, are not hurt by the horses and Wagons in delivery service that are urged at full speed by careless drivers without the least regard for the rights of others. ——_-+>____ This country is beheved io be well equip- ped for war with Spain.

Se Modern Kite Fly: The practicel value of the experiments now being conducted in this city in aerial photography through the medium of high- flown es does not appear, perhaps, at first glance, but there }s much of posstble value in the tests to the students of war- fare. Thus far the photographs obtained are mere novelties, showing the appear- ance of familiar objects when viewed from heretofore impossible altitudes. Regarded as sefentific efforts, of course, there is some value in these pictures, but it is to be remembered thag th object of the ex- perimenter is to pert borne ct a system of kite- cameras that will enable a person to secure a view of a distant area without ex- posing himself to the eccupants of that re- sion. In time of war this device would Le of great utility. Military balloons are now in use in most of the large armies of the world, and it is thought that by their means a great advantage would be given to their possessors in a campaign over an enemy not thus equipped. Lut the bal- loon apparatus, bag, gas machine, rope reel, ‘wagon and the various accessory devices necessary for euccessful flight, occupy a large space, require a considerable force of trained men to ensure satisfactory use, and ip general the outfit is cumbersome ang fore of far less value than the much Simpler system of kites such as thoss now fn uge in these experiments. Of course the balloon may be sent up in almost any ion of the atmosphere, “while the kite can be flown only while B°r4 A & sufficiently strong breeze and aaa i its use In securing a view of @ particular section of country depends upon the direc- tion of the wind. But this also ts largely true of the balloon, which is subject to the drift of the wind and may be blown out of the desired range. The value of. the kites depends upon their ability to support photographic cameras, or posstbly, accord- ing to one series of experiments, the weight of a man. The latter achievement has been accomplished under favoring circum- burg convention, but to point out the ir- regularity and uselessness of the proceed- ings. They still insist that a campaign this year, made upon confession of help- lessness and failure, cannot possibly do elther the sound money cause or the party organization in the state any good, but will merely give the silver men oppor- tunity to advertise another victory. And so they insist that the policy they are ad- vocating, that of helping where they can stances. If the camera is used it is sub- |-hope to be effective in the election of mem- Ject to a large percentage of failure, owing to the variations of light, the possibility that the shutter may not work just right, and the delicacy with which the apparatus must be managed to secure a good expos- ure from so movable a platform as that suspended from the cord of a kite. But when se2ured the photographic negative is permanent. It reproduces in detail fea- tures of the coutry that might escape the cbservation of even a trained observer. It is probable that the greatest value will be found for the Kite system as an adjunct to the ballocn. These kites are marvels of their kind, and by their means great Progress has been made in the study of the upper currents of air tending to uttl- ize them for man’s daily needs. The old- fashioned hexagonal kite of boyhood will’ be a thing of the past if the new sky- seekers are ever introduced to youngster- dom in such form that tney can be readily manufactured. ———_sto—___—_- The New Tariffs Operations. Those who are hoping that the Dingley \ill may prove a failure as a revenue pro- ducer are watching the returns under it very closely. They affect to be greatly comforted as prophets by the record up to date. They declare that signs of failure are unmistakable. And they ask, then what? The Star was one of the first of the friends of the new law to point out that returns under it for the first few months— maybe for six months—would necessarily be small—probably the smallest in its his- tory. Imports of all kinds had been run up to gigantic proportions in anticipation of its passage, and some time would be neces- sary to work these off before business through the customs houses could be ex- pected to take on its ncrmal stage. The present returns therefore are necessarily the result of that congested order of things. ‘Those who drew the bill did not work either in the dark or in a corner. They took expert advice on all the schedules, and they were confident in giving to the bill its finishing touches that in the matter of revenue it would upon fair trial meet the ends expected of it. But if, after trial, it should appear that the new law does not yield the returns from customs expected of it, the wishes of its enemies are by no means likely to be realized. Such a failure would not ‘afford the signal for reopening the whole tariff question. The defect could be remedied by the passage of a bill carrying only°one or two items swelling the revenue to the sum required. The Dingley bill is entirely satis- factory to protection interests, and has #lready justified itself on those lines. Mills and factories have everywhere felt the encouragement of the new schedules, and seme, under their influence, are in opera- on now for the first time in several years. The cry that the law has falied is alto- gether premature. There is apparently no warrant for it whatever. Business is every- where reviving, and conditions of all kinds are favorable to American interests. The effect of this revival will in good time show in the customs returns as elsewhere. But come what may, the country is so unmis- takably committed to protection now that no criss-cross work, like that characterizing the Gorman-Wilson bill, is at all likely scon again to show in any revenue meas- ure passed by Congress. —_~--__ Make the Streets Safe. A few evenings ago a young lady was as- saulted by ruffians on the Conduit road end escaped only after a desperate struggle in which her escort participated. About the same time there began a series of highway robberies in which women were the victims. One such case occurred Saturday night and the foot-pad not only secured a pocket- book but struck the young woman and caused considerable injury. Two similar cases are now reported and are detailed in today’s issue of The Star. Evidently the thugs and highway robbers. Letters have been received by The Star and published showing that the assault on the Conduit road has startled the community and it would appear from one of these communt- cations that there is more rowdyism on the cars running to and from the suburban re- Sorts than public safety and decency can tolerate. It is difficult to catch such ef- fenders, but they should be captured, iden- tified and given the full limit of the law in the way of punishment. Washington has always borne a high repute as a city where a woman was safe on the public streets at all hours, but these affairs tend to threaten its character in this regard seriously. ——_—_ ++ General Weyler sincerely hopes that Mr. Platt will succeed in getting President Mc- Kinley suffictently interested in the wrangle in New York to distract his attention from the fight in Cuba. —_———_seo—___.

Lynch law is exhibiting more and more of @ tendency to disregard arbitrary efforts to establish boundary lines for its operation. ——> eo —____ “Old Virginny. Never Tire.” The two factions into which the Virginia republicans are divided are now wide.y apart, and the situation is anything but promising for the future of the party in the state. Colonel Lamb, refusing to recog- nize as valid the action which deposed him from the position of chairman of the state committee, has called a state convention to meet at Lynchburg October 5 for the pur- pose of putting a state ticket in the field, and his friends and lieutenants, under his direction, are exerting themselves to try to secure a large attendance. There is no hope of success at the polls. The only point of agreement between the two fac- tions is the condemnation both pass on the election laws of the state, which both assert are a brazen swindle on an honest ballot and a fair count. But the Lamb fuc- tion insist that a campaign should be made if for no other purpose but to keep up party spirit and party organization, and hence the calling of a state convention. The other faction, headed by Colonel Brady and Mr. Agnew, hold to the posi- tion they recently took at Staunton. Colo- nel Lamb, in their eyes, has no official ex- istence. Having decapitated him they in- sist on being the best judge of whether or not he fs dead. They are, therefore, pay- ing no attenticn to the call for the Lynch- city is infested to an unusual degree by | 17 bers of the legislature favorably inclined toward the enactment of a fair election law, is the only wise policy in the circum- stances to purgue. Each faetion charges thé other with su- preme selfishness. Colorel Lamb and his friends accuse the Brady-Agnew people of trying to work a “corner” on the Virginia patrorage and declare that that alone ex- plains their attitude in the premises. The Brady-Agnew people are equally well ccn- vineed that Colonel Lamb and his friends are making what they characterize as this “bluff” merely for the purpose of impress- ing the country and the President with an intrepii spirit, never happy but when en- gaging the enemy, and securing as a re- ward, if porsible, a recognition to which they really are not entitled. Meanwhile the silver democrats are marching to an assured, and, with the aid of th2 election laws, probably a pro- nounced, triumph. ——_+ +e ____ It would have added to the picturesque- ness of the eccasion had the annouacement oi a change in the color of postage stamps from red to green been deferred until the seventeenth of March, ~~ oe _____ ‘The indictment of Mrs. Nack and Martin Thorn gives assurance that the coaclusion of the Luetgert trial will not cause an ab- solute dearth of harrowing details. ———_+o — The latest cargo of gold from Alaska amounted to $800,000.

From the Springfield Republican. Judge Cox declares that executive rules regulating and restricting the power of re- moval are not such as the civil service law authorizes, and are consequently without force and void. This, however, is only true so far as the courts are concerned, says the judge, and the point he makes must be ad- mitted to have some force. It is a family matter with the exécutive power, as it were. But there is this further considera- tien to be noted: The law leaves to the President the power to regulate removals. The President in pursuance of this power, and through the civil service commission—— duly created for just such purposes—puts in force certain yegulations. The head of the Post Office Department, as in this case, removes a superintendent of mails, in violation of these decreed regulations. Have these regulations, duly and lawfully made, no force which the judicial power can recognize? Mr. McKinley can, of course, abrogate those regulations at will. But while they stand, have they no force whatever? Have they no standing in court? If not, what real protective value do they possess to the subordinate office holder? We cannot, however, regard Judge Cox’s decision as of vast consequence touching the reform of the civil service. Had he reached a contrary conclusion and sus- tained the protest of the ousted superin- tendent of mails at Louisville, the effect would not have been to deprive the ap- peinting power or the executive of all right of discretionary removal. It would kave simply compelled the executive power to live up tp its own regulations wile those regulations were nominally in force. The executive would still have been left free to repeal the regulations or to modify them at will. ——_>+e_____ In the Sou From Hardware. Reports from the south are certainly of a reassuring nature. The south is rejuve- nating, is the verdict of all close observers. The wholesome influences of the new tariff @re apparent everywhere. The agricul- tural situation has never been so bright. Nothing lacks animation but the whisky industry, and that will speedily mend under the impetus of the generally improving conditions. A new commodity, cigar leaf, has been added to southern agricultural in- terests since the Cuban exclusion act, and very important it promises to become. —~> = —___ Prohibition of Docked Horses. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. “With a law against docking horses’ tails,” says the Boston Journal, “it seems strange to scme that the Back Bay stables contain so many animals that have been mutilated by this cruel process.

It ought to be the easiest kind of @ prosecution to punish the violators of the act that was passed to protect the dumb animals.” If the lawmakers are in ear- nest, why not prohibit the employment of herses that have been so mutilated.
