4 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, = SEPTEMBER 24, 1897-14 PAG THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY............September 24, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Cln order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the = STAR, or to Mr. Chapman’s Debut. ‘The news that the prespects of the demo- cratic state ticket In Ohio are poor seems fully explained and confirmed in the speech of Mr. Chapman, who heads the ticket for gevernor. He opened his campaign yester- day with a deliverance which, if one may by the telegraphic report, deserves te take rank among the most absurd of the times. It is pitched in the key of silli- ness and insult, and it ought to cost him votes in every county. As the people of Ohio are among the most intelligent in the y. a fair assumption is that it will. yman sees a likeness between the enlisted in the cause of sound 4 Benedict Arnold.

But he forgets that he is addressing people who last year fave an enormous majority for sound meney. How was that majority obtained? By the use of British gold? If that is the explanatior, Mr. Chapman ifs wasting his on a people unworthy of them. ot the explanation, he is affronting whose support he e. y cause of t of last year, same me pu that is ‘The and is be- and cham- If thos mei purposé honest last y and Mr. their mouth and ¢ would do alt of sound mon r.

The pro. y advanced Jt may pos- encounter the opposition of the com- ies that are now generally obedi- ent to the law as well as those that are in- different to its provisions, but this opp: tion should not deter the Commissioners from pressing the recommendation or Con- gress from enacting a good law on the subject.

A reassuring clash between the yellow fever reports and the weather report may be expected very soon. —— +302 That New York Division. The division among the anti-Tammany forces in Greater New York is all the more deplorable for the reason that, by a Ittle concession here and there, it might easily have been avoided. The blame is not justly to be saddled upon one faction. Both fac- tions share it. The ‘e cannot be properly stated with- out reference first to the action of the Citizens’ Union. The idea of favoring a citizens’ anion was an excellent ane. It orig‘nated in a desire for good government for the city upon a non-partisan basis. But very early in the campaign the movement became associated in the public mind with @ committee whose members =howed a dis- position to cut out and direet all the work necessary to be done. In this way the union, for practical purposes, ceased to be a union, and became only a faction. ‘Then it became a very aggressive faction, and, refusing all conferences with forces lutely essential to success, nominated a candidate for mayor. The selection made was in every way admirable, except in the Way it was made. Against Mr. Low as man or citizen nothing whatever can be urged. But his very excellence and strength ard availability made him the man not for faction’s candidate, but for a real urion'’s candidate. In appropriating him to itself, therefore, this faction injured the general cause and embarrassed Mr. Low. Conference with the republicans was re- fused, upon the ground, as understood, that the republican organization was under the controi of Mr. Platt, and that as Mr. Platt stood for nothing but machine poli- tics his influence if yielded to would give to the whole movement a machine twist. This was not good reasoning. Mr. Platt himself is a machine man, as Mr. Croker is, but his machine is not of the same kind at all as that of the Tammany leader. The rank and file of the republican organ- ization helped to put Mayor Strong in Cffice, and therefore have shown them- selves worthy to be trusted in the matter Seems t of a movement for good government. Be- sides, conferring with the republicans would not have been yielding to Mr. Platt. «access at the polls was not to be thought of without the republican vote, that vote and its representatives were en- titled to every consideration. So stands the cese with respect to the Cttizens’ Union. But should the “previous- ness” of a few men ruin a good cause? Has Mr. Low been made unavailable by reason of the enion’s nomination? Cannot Mr. Platt and his friends afford to accept so strong end estimable a man without re- gard to the mere matter of “who found him first?” He has character, ability, a good purpose, well stated tn several de- liverances as to Greater New York, and he would make a model mayor for the new town. The whole -country is interested in the outecme. If an effort for good govern- ment for the greatest city in the country results in the return to power of the most consummate band of brigands that ever held up a.free people, the cause of rood government elsewhere and everywhere will be affected. Tammany was driven out by an organization of the responsible people, and it can be kept out by the same instru- ——_>+»—_____ An Age Limit for Drivers. There is no doubt as to the wisdom of writing among the police regulations a rule that restricts the freedom with which the owners of delivery wagons and other ve- hicles that make frequent use of the streets place them in charge of small boys. who jack the skill, judgment and experience necessary to ensure a degree of safety to other occupants of the thoroughfares. The proposition now under consideration by the Commissioners places this age limit at sixteen years. The New York ordinance which fixes upon this age might safely and reasonably be adopted. It appears that there is already in force in the District a law which makes it a misdemeanor for a Wagon or other vehicle to be driven by a berson less than twelve years old, but this nas evidenily become a dead letter, with disastrous results. In unearthing this law well for the Commissioners to con- sider that the conditions which surround the use of public streets have changed materially since tne old law was framed. There are more street cars and they are much more dangerous. There are many ands more street users. The popu- of the bicycle has added to the of the pavement between e hundred per cent, while vth of the city has added Thus there is a pressing reed for modernizing all ancient rules that affect the si all The mana; in the streets its proportion. one espec is ne such it may have been when the traffic was light and was not cowplicated by ihe presence of many men, Women and children upon bicycles and by the pas: of rapid transit street cars. Under these. circumstances the sixteen- init is the lowest that can safely be ed. It involves no parti hard- upon the horse owners, but rather to protect them, inasmuch as it atly reduces the chances of accidents that may involve the owners in he dam: In framing the regulation ¢ ibe taken to place the burden of re- sponsibility directly upon the person who sends forth a vehicle in charge of a driver who is under the stated age. A few fines administered by the courts will soon give the new rule positive effect. Modernized Croquet. The modern game of croquet, as will be seen by a visit to the tournament now in Progress here, is such as to attract many mere devotees than did the game in its criginal form. Indeed it bids fair to assume among the lovers of gentle out-door sports a popularity approaching that of golf or of lawn tennis. It has long siree ceased to be a slow, unscientific game, for the late developments have given it a hard, smooth playing surface, with nicer éistinctions in the rules ard wider possibilit for strategy. The gamé as it is new played fs in effect the enlarged equivalent of open- air billiards, with the same chances for Gelicate touches, caroms, position strokes and other points of supericr play. The strrounding of the ground by a cushion that not only retains the balls within beunds but gives the jPayer a chance to prolong his play by deflected shots is an- ether clement tending to increase the popu- larity of the sport. Croquet resembles golf in that the action is never violent, the strokes are szparated by intervals for rest and calsplation, and the interest cen- ters upon the work of one player at a time. In base-ball, foot-ball and tennis the action is more violent, and continuous. In tennis, to be sure, the interest alternately upon the individuals, but these alternations are so rapid that the sport has the characteristics of a continuous play in which all the participants are ceaselessly occupied. Croquet appeals to those seekers of out-door exercise who are not stro erough for the constant effort of other games. The game has the advantage of Leing relatively simple in its rules, though the modern tendency is to multiply the reg- ulations. Washington has taken a stead- ily increasing interest in the sport of late, and now has the honor of including in its population both the champion and the sec- ond best player in the United States. One feature ef the sport is the number of very yeung men who become devoted to it and develop expertness in the play. ‘The custom of salutation followed by the German emperor is made more tolerable to the average observer by the fact that it is impossible for a man to kiss and talk simultaneously. —>+e—__. Chicago's concern about the yellow fever is limited to a mild curiosity as to what the old-resident germs of the Chicago river would do to any interlopers. ——~++e—___ The amount of industry that he ts called upon to devote to Ohio politics enables Mr. Hanna to sympathize with the working man more than ever. —++e—_____ For some reason John L. Sullivan would rather be known as a politician out of a job than a pugilist hors de cumbat. —_~+e—__ The Virginia Senators. When the democrats cf Virginia met in state convention at Roanoke a resolution was introduced proposing a direct vote of the people, after the South Carolina pri- mary plan, in the election of United States senators. Senator Daniel opposed it, and after a sharp debate, during which he threw the whole wefght of his influence In- to the scale, the resolution was defeated. The debate, however, disclosed the fact that both Mr. Daniel and his colleague, Mr. Martin, would stand for re-election, and thereby the object of the resolution was, In a measure, as applied to them- selves, accomplished. Both are practically now before the peopl@ as candidates—Mr. Daniel's case to be disposed of this year, and Mr. Martin's two years hence—and the people will have opportunity in many ways to signify their wishes in the prem- ises. Both men have taken the stump, and evidently will exert themselves as vigor- ously as though primary boxes were yawn- ing to receive ballots as to their particular candidacies. Mr. Dantel’s re-election looks, at this time, well assured. He is not only in full sympathy with his party on all the leading rational issues, but he possesses many ele- ments of local strength. The Virginians lke oratory, and he is the Virginia orator without a living peer. They treasure deep- ly thelr memories of the confederacy, and Mr. Daniel was a brave soldier in that war on the side of the confederacy. Moreover, centers | he has long enjoyed their favor and has never abused it, and they are slow to desert a faithful standard-bearer. For these reasons Mr. Daniel is very likely to succeed himself in the Senate. Mr. Martin, on the other hand, though with strong points in his favor, may find his row a hard one to hoe. He lacks the personal charm of Mr. Daniel, and, besides, has but recently come around to his party’s pesition on the silver question. His prac- tice as a lawyer had brought him into close centact with the leading business interests of the state, and this inclined him original- ly to the sound money side of the financial contention. But when the party formally declared for free silver at 16 to 1 he changed front and supported Mr. Bryap for President. Still, he occupies the uncer- tain ground of a convert, and if, two years hence, silver should appear on the down grade as a national issue the effect will be certain to tell against his fortunes as a leader. Opposition to Mr. Martin is reason- ably within ordinary calculations. If Major Tyler. Who will then be governor, is eligible he may prove a formidable factor in that race. ——_>+e—____ Mr. Bryan trusts that when the New York democrats get through with their worry over the torn-up streets they will bestow some attention on the marks of wear and tear the Chicago platform is beginning to show. —>+o—____ While contemplating the sufferings of the London Globe, the English public can congratulate itself m the fact that spasms are not contagious, ——__~+>___ The lavishness with which Andree has liberated pigeons indicates the absence of apprehensions concerning his food-supply. —~>+e_____ SHOOTING STARS.

It is hard to understand how Mr. Low be kept in the ficid with an f the republic y. Mr. Low’s lette: that he regards his candidacy as hoyeless unless the republicans nominate him. If it were not for the fact that there is the greatest danger that the forces of the democracy will be so split that they will be unabie to make a successful cam- paign there would be little in the condi- tion today to give the honorable and pa- triotic citizens of New York any hope that the new and great municipality would not be administered for the next four years by the representative of Tammany Hall and McLaughlin's Brooklyn democracy. ee Another Change in the Situation, New York Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger. A new and surprising change in the local political situation is Senator Platt’s deci- ion to withdraw District Attorney Olcott as a candidate for mayor and to name ex- Secretary of the Navy Tracy in his place. Mr. Olcott, although a clean and bright young man, did not measure up to the standard demanded by the situation. It was soon discovered that he was not strong enough to force Seth Low out of the field, so General Tracy has been asked to stand 4s the party candidate, and it is under- stood that it depends only on the ex-Secre- tary himself whether he will be nominated. It is announced that he has decided to take the question under consideration. It is tion would introduce a new element of doubt into the campaign. ——____+«—____ rained Colored Nurses. From the Charlotte iN. C.) Observer. Charleston got some reputation a_ few menths ago by replacing the white labor in the cotton miil there with colored labor. That city now comes to the front with an- other project concerning colored people, and this time one that appears to be com- mendable and reasonable. It is the estab- lishment of a training school for colored nurses. Instruction is given the pupils by eight well-trained colored physicians, all under the management of Dr. Lucy Brown, a colored woman from Philadelphia. The more intelligent women of the colored rece make the most faithful nurses in the wcrld. To this particular field of work they are well adapted,'and there is no reason why the nurses turned out in\Charleston should not be able to find steady employment. ——_+ +2 _____ Cerebral Protection.
