THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY................October 1, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES..... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Cireslation t7Im order to avoid delays, on ae- count of persunal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the imply to THE STAR, or to ial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Tiger in the Ring. Tammany, this time, has done the ex- pected thing. It has completely ignored the silver plank of the Chicago platform, Lut emphasized those planks relating to the Zressiveness of capital and the court: nd it has put up a colorless ticket with which to bind men inside the organ- ization end delude the unwary outside of it. The work bears the stamp of a shrewd boss, who plays some men for fools and others for siaves, and knows all the tricks for reaching out for plunder. Does the Tammany boss stand to win this game? The ticket is colorless, and the reports declare that it was tamely received by the great body of the convention, which rati- fied the boss's work. But, for all that, It may have elements of strength in a situa- ticn where the friends of good government are seriously divided and vigorously fight- ing among themselves. Tammany’s listless- ness at the convention is of small moment. The rank and file of Tammany can be whipped into the traces in support of any- bedy with the party’s brand on him. Nor necd the outery against capital in the plat- form be taken too seriousty. It will not be by certain capitalists themselves, who have axes to grind, and want such a gov- errment of the new municipality as they can easily manipulate to their own per- soral advantage. Not unlikely, therefore, from this source will come a substantial campaign fund, which will enable the cam- paign managers to work to advantage among such a contingent of the regular Tammany erganization as may hold out, despite the crack of the boss’s whip, for “some of the stuff.” Will the men behind Henry George cause Tammany much trouble? That remains to be seen. Some as staunch ver men Henry George himself participated in Tam- convention. Amos Cummings, who temporary president, was an en- thusiastic supporter of Mr. Bryan last year. What influenced him to overlook the slight to silver? The emphasis be- stowed on the arraignment of capital and the courts? And if that “goes” with Mr. mings, may it not before election day “go” also with Mr. George and his friends? ‘The democrats will undoubtedly labor on that line very Industriously, and may be expected to meet with some measure of success, even if Mr. George himself should hold out and remain in the field as a can- didate. But. regardless of Tammany’s troubles, the friends of good government cannot af- ford to take any risks. They have trou- bles of their own, which should be com- posed promptly and thoroughly. In fact, now is the time for a real effective Citizens’ Uxiou. It should be organized at once. ‘The situation is infinitely clearer now than it has ever been before. All the necessi- ties of the case are plainly outlined. The anti-Tammany resources are fully under- stood. Mr. Low desires good government for the new city, and so does Generai Tricy. Either in the mayor's office would give the new city good government. And there are others. To be the first mayor of Greater New York will te a great honor, but not greater than will come to the man who makes it possible at this critical time for all the friends of order and sound money to get together for a winning cam- Paign. ———++o— Careless Bicycling. Had Bicyclist Gray observed the police regulations respecting the speed of wheels at street intersections yesterday morning he would probably not have caused the death of Mr. Jones. The rules now permit a@ speed of twelve miles between street crossings and restrict the speed to eight miles or less at such points. There is very good reason for this distinction, as yester- day's sad accident clearly shows. The Street crossings are the places of real dan- ger, where drivers, pedestrians and wheel- men alike must exercise particular care, where they must slacken their speed and observe all the surroundings to make sure that there is no danger of a collision. Otherwise the streets would be most unsafe at these points, where travel is heaviest and accidents such as that of yesterday would become most common. It is not plain that there is even now a general ob- sServance of the rules in this regard. Ob- servation tends to prove that the regula- tion is obeyed only in part if at all by a large number of the wheelmen, and the killing of Mr. Jones should be followed by @ general tightening of the lines held by the police over all the street users. In the case of Mr. Gray it is shown that he was looking over his shoulder to observe the time as shown by a neighboring church steeple when he struck his victim, who was trying to cross the etreet. He thus contributed directly to the accident by fail- ing to note the safety of his course and thus he, as do many other wheelmen and vehicle users, put upon the pedestrian all the responsibility for avoiding a collision. It is plain that Mr. Gray is not a typical ‘orcher” amd that his was by no means s flagrant a violation of the regulations as those that are perpetrated hourly upon the most crowded thoroughfares by the hump-backed specimens whom the author- itles and the careful wheelmen are seeking to curb, but the accident serves as a warn- ing to all the wheelmen, whether they are normally careful or careless, that they must obey the laws in all particulars if p out of trouble. a avenue mule is in a ition confidently to challenge the air ‘or to # comparison of records as to re- Madility im an emergency. ——- + +«+____ >w Lurning censtruction” bids fair to ce “rapid transit” as a common mis- omer. mo re ui ———>+<-—____ Approval of the Air Motors. On the basis of the declarations of the oticials of the Eckington and Belt com- panies as to their desires, the experiments with the air motor conducted here and the report just presented by Engineer Commis- sioner Black on the subject, there is no geod reason now in sight why those roads should not forthwith proceed to complete thelr equipment on a rapid transit basis as soon as the formal permission to use the air system has been granted to them by the full board of Commissioners. It is as- sumed that the compantes really desire to use the air system. Any other presump- tion, such as might be suggested by the former actions of the companies, could up to this point have the strength only of sus- picion. The experiments have met with the ap- proval of the engineering Commissioner, under whose personal supervision they were In effect conducted, and who has .=iven to them the most careful thought. ‘They have shown that an air motor of the type ultimately selected for use in the tests can make the mest difficult run over the line under @ singte charge, with -Editor.° power to spare.. They have also shown that a single motor, under service condi- tions, can be relied upon to aida disabled motor to the source of power. They have, in @ measure, though tot to the entire sat- isfact.on of all observers, shown that the motor can be used in continuous service without halt or interruption. Incidentally, and perhaps to the discomfiture of the re- ceiver and his principals, they have shown that there fs no necessity under all the circumstences now known for the instalia- tion of a pipe line with frequent recharging stations to ensure continuous service. Capt. Black, whose report leaves nothing to be desired in the way of thoroughness and consideration for the proper Interests of both the companies and the public, can see no warrant in the law for the laying of pipe lines with their occasional projec- ticns for recharging on the route. He calls attention to the fact that this whole pipe- line idea has been sprung on the com- munity and the Commissioners, this pro- ject in fact never having been broached during the discussions before Congress and | being inconsistent with the plea for an “‘in- Gependent motor.” But Capt. Black is will- ing to offer a reasonable facility for the recharging of the storage bottles and sug- gests that it would be wholly proper to permit the erection of terminal stations, “with proper rechargirg machinery.” This suggestion can only mean the establish- ment at the various terminals of compress- ing plants such as that originally contem- Plated at one end of perhaps each line. In view of the Commissioner's failure to find “warrant in the law” for pipe-lines for in- termediate use it is plain that he finds no such warrant for pipe lines to connect the terminal recharging stations with the cen- tral plant, wherever it might be located. Under these circumstances there can be no public objection to the equipment of the Eckington and Belt roads with the air mo- tors of the type now in evidence, with the minor alterations that are suggested by Capt. Black in his report. In view of the language of the law and of the plain intent of Congress to compel these companies to provide rapid transit within the year end- ing with next June, there is nothing left for the companies after the formal permis- sion is granted save the taking of imme- diate steps to equip all their lines with air motors in sufficient numbers to provide a convenient schedule. Any haggling over pipe lines or other claims that may now be put forth for the first time will be accepted by the community and doubtless by the Commissioners and Corgre:s as indisputa- ble evidence of insincerity, such as 13 sug- gested even now by the former experiences of the community with these corporations. ——- 2 0 Japan’s Unwise Haste. Growing out of her widely-advertised plans for extensive armament, both on land and sea, the question presents itself, {s not Japan attempting too much? Is she not moving too rapidly? Does her present posi- tion, or do her early future prospects jus- tify such enormous expenditures as are id to be on her cards? Japan's rise has been rapid, and she has deservedly been much complimented upon it. Her people are brave and skilful, and if steered by sound statesmanship, they are certain to become in time a great people. But it will take time. “ven with the prom- ising start recorded, Japans further rise must follow well Jefiaed lines. A forcing process, if adhered to, will tend to set- backs and disaster. Is Japan pushing for recognition imme- diately as one of the leading powers of the earth? Is the orient too “pent-up” for her? Does she feel that it “contracts ber pow- ers,” now that she 1as discovered her powers? If such is her aim and ambition, one can understand her large crders for heavy guns and fighting ships and all that sort of thing. The game, as played by the leading powers, is for iarge stakes today, and it takes a big sum to come in, and more to stay. Can Japan afford a place at that table? If she will study the gen2ral situation she will find much to instruct her. Great Bri- tain and Russia spead large sums on tneir war establishments, but they can afford it. Germany is a great camp, but, rich and powerful as she is, the people complain of the taxation necessary to support it. Italy’s case is growing pathetic. She, too, keeps up a large fighting establisnment, but it ts rapidly pushing her toward bankruptcy. She is out of her lass, but is, in every way, Ieuch better able to keep such com- pany than Japan would be. The United States is extending her naval establish- ment, and with ease and with every reason. Her commerce is steadily growing, her po- sition in the western hemisphere is para- mount, and the obligations growing cut of it are heavy and almost sacred. She must be prepared to meet them az any time, and a@s against any challeager. But Japan's place is not alongside of these ‘powers now. Her development is in no degree to be measured by theirs. She is just beginning life as a nation. Her in- dustries are just starting up. In a sense, therefore, she is poor. In case of war with any of the great powers she would be at a national disadvantage. Her people are brave enough snd love their country well enough, but it takes more than that successfully to prosec1t2 war on an exten- sive scale. Where would the money come from, with her spare cash all invested in the mere implements for fignting? The pos- session merely of a big fighting machine dces not make a nation formidable, or in- sure it success In time of peril. It is an in- dispensable thing for a great nation, but other resources in abundance and a certain development go with it where tt !s effective. There is more than a suggestion that Ja- pan is forcing matters. Her plans appear to be altogether too ambitious. If she car- ries them out she will be obliged to bor- row heavily, and thea, to meet her obliga- tions, to tax her people heavily for the money lenders. Then her people, who, as a rule, are poor, will murmur, and her devel- opment accordingly will be hindered. The United States is a friend of Japan. She is, in fact, her sponsor in the realm of pro- gress, and anything happening with a ten- dency to swerve Japan from her proper ceurse naturally attracts attention here. Less preparation for war and more for the development of her industries and re- scurces would be a welcome sign to her real friends. She cainot with reason hope in her present stature to wield Excalibur, —_~+>—__ Dictator Barrios, in extorting money from a private citizen by hanging tim up by the thurabs, has proved that there may be things even more objectionable than the methods by which this government was some time since held up by a few cap- italists. : : ——>+e—___. Luetgert is the recipient of feminine sympathy and bouquets. The inexplicable tendency of human nature is calculated to take some of the glamour off the ovations which orators, pugilists and other great inen constantly receive. It is not improper for Washington to call attention to the fact that it is in the habit of doing things on a large scale, whether the matter in hand happens to be an inau- guration, a convention or a conflagration. —__+++___ A Small Margin of Safety. It is an old, old story now, this constant plea of the fire chief for more engines and other facilities for fighting the devouring element, but the remarks of that official upon the power house fire deserve to ne borne in mind by the Commissioners when sa eter gs remaindyr of the city unprotected. The» same condition existed during the Rink fire on New York avenue about a year ago, and it has existed as” well at practica'ly every other great conflagration that has visited Washington for years. It: will al- ways be true, in a measure, but it is un- safe that there should be so slight a mar- gin of reserve force as now exists. : ——__ +2 _____. Mr. Van Wyck of New.

SHOOTING STARS. An Opinion. “What I like to see,” said Senator Sor- ghum, “is 4 politician who depends on his own resources ” “You mean a man who writes his own speeches?” suggested the friend. “Well, I haven't thought much about that; but I do like to see him sign his own checks.” The Best Man. Go, fling the true reformers out And put machine lieuterants in; Then let the guileless public shout, “They're off; and may the best man win!” Consolation, There is no greater waste of time,” said the philosopher, “than complaining about the weather.” “But it is co variable!” hypochondriac. “There's just the point. Even if you don’t happen to like what you are getting you can be certain that it will change in the next few hours.” protested the An Ordeal. “Are you sure you love him?” asked the girl’s dearest friend. “Absolutely sure.” “But you have never put your sentiments to any real test.” “Oh, yes, I have, and I know that my affection for him must be supreme. I have watched him eat saddle-rock oysters and cream puffs, and my nerves weren't shock- ed a bit.” Not Up to Date. “Do you mean to tell me that the non- ecmbustible post office roof is constructed on the same principle as was employed in the late lamented power house?” inquired the stranger. “Certainly,” replied the bland architect, “But that ‘slow-burning’ building went like tinder!” “My dear sir, I am afraid you are a back rumber. We are living in an age of steam, electricity and bicycles. What might have been regarded as a quick-burn- ing building years ago would furnish a positively tedious conflagration nowadays.” Dollar Wheat. October smiles on us once more. To greet the welcome guest Dame Nature offers from her store Full generously the best. And though the birds are silent all, Than theirs a song more sweet Comes to the season’s jocund call— A song of Dollar Wheat. It jingles in the hardened hand With unfamiliar glee; It wakens smiles throughout the iand, Like sunshine on the sea. Hope's harmonies are on the wing When wish and prospect meet, And all the country joins to sing The song of Dollar Wheat. ——_>+e—___ Hawaii and Postal Banks. From the Chicago Record. If the United States annexes the Ha- waiian Islands it will add to its possessions @ country that in one respect at least is more civilized than itself. Hawaii has in ful operation a postal savings bank system. There is on deposit with the postal bank about $1,000,000, which is a pretty good showing for a country of 100,00) pop- ulation, mostly illiterate natives and for- eign laborers. If annexation of the islands were to carry with it the extension to this country of the postal savings bank system in opera- tion there, that would be a strong argu- ment for annexation. ——————+e2—___ The Kansas Seal Question. From the Norfolk Landmark. ‘That men who had “Sixteen to One” In- scribed on his gravestone would rejoice, if he were alive, at the heroic action of the populist officials of Kansas, who have in- dignantly discarded the vile and suggestive gold seals heretofore employed on- public documents and have substituted therefor a silver seal with a gilded ribbon, whose area bears the same ratio to the area of the seal as 1 bears to 16. Truly, a happy conceit, and one that should immensely relieve that excruciating mental dyspepsia to which Kansas populists are perpetually a prey. —— oe ____ Patient Fortitude Required. Carl Schurz in Harper's Weekly. If the union of dissatisfied republicans and sound money democrats who think substantially alike could be promptly formed, the problem would be solved. But if that cannot be, the national democrats, to effect anything, will have to stick to their work with patient fortitude, and per- haps also with a good deal of self-denial, offering a nucleus, however small, for grad- val accretion. They will have to guard their own identity with jealous care. They will have, above all things, to resist the temptation of combining with the ‘“regu- Jar’ democracy for the purpose of “electing democrats to office,” or of winning other local or temporary advantages with them in common—as some weak-kneed national democrats in New York city are now in- clined to do to the end of getting some municipal places. —+ee—____ Somewhat Hibernian, but True. From the Springfield Republican. Had Terence V. Powderly been in control of immigration when his own parents came to this country, they would never have got in. He declares himself to be next door to an absolute exclusionist. ——++s____.. Good Place to Go To. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
