4 ~ * THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1897-14 PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY............November 22, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation ch more than the combined ci © m of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any indivi: 1 connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to it Crossings. Last Saturday a collision occurred at the corner of Ninth and F streets between two moter cars of the Metropolitan road as a result of a misunderstanding of the signals that are supposed to give the right of way at such points to one car or another. Ke- cently a motor car of the same road collided with a horse-car cn Pennsylvania avenue from the same cause, a m/‘sunderstanding of the signals. These two accidents, which fortunately did not cause damage to passengers, point strongly to the need of an enforcement of the regulation adopted by the Commission- ers some months ego that gives them the power to compel the rapid transit street railway companies to station flagmen at points where two such lines cross. The original regulation on this subject was peremptory but was not enforced and an amendment lately adopted and promul- gated declared it to be unlawful for a rapid transit car or train to be propelled over such a crossing after the Commissioners kad directed the stationing there of a flag- man. Thus as far as the police rules now stand chere is nothing to prevent the en- fercement of the flagman system at once, and this should be done. ‘The siznai system upon which the roads have been running for some time is based on the theory that four intellects are more reliable than one, and that it is practicaily impossible for the series of bell-strokes given by gripmen cr motormen and con- ductors to be misunderstcod. The recent accidents effectually disprove this assump- uen. When such accidents occur as a result of misnderstandings it is practically im- possible to fix the responsibility upon one of the four men who form the chain of signallings. The solitary flagman, stationed close to the intersection of the tracks, has a clear view of all the conditions. He has but one duty, that of giving signs to the car that is entitled first to pass. He is not distracted by questions of gripping or loosening cabies, regulating currents, or avoiding pedestri- ans. Trained to the duty of dispatching the cars, he can be relied upon to a greater degree of certainty than can the four men who, in each instance of disputed headway under the present system, must distract their attention from their normal duties to work out a distinct problem. The railroads themselves should long ago ovserved the economy of the flagman |. especially in view of the possibility of such accidents as that of Saturday night, which act only destroyed valuable property but blockaded one line for an hour. That ent alone probably cost in damages and lost traffic more than enough to pay the services of the tlagmen necessary at that cressing for the next twelve months, but even if it did not, if the cost was trifling, it should serve as a warning of the danger that eventually this so-called system of signals will cause a collision with heavy money damage and perhaps a loss of hfe. The public's interest, however, is to be alone considered by the Commissioners in their contemplation of the matter. The safety of the passengers comes first and next the public convenience, which may, as on Saturday, te seriously interfered with by the blocking of traffic for ‘a long period. Under such circumstances, with the prac- tical demonstration of the inefficiency of the signal system now clearly afforded by the corporation that devised and strenu- cusly supported it, no time shouid be lost in the issuance of an order compelling the stationing of flagmen at every rapid transit crossing in town. This is all tne more nec- essary in view of the fact that the Capital Traction lines will soon be again running cn a repid-transit bas:s and the danger at certain congested points will be greater than ever before. ——_-_o+ + —__ Albert Ordway. The citizens of Washington will always hold the memory of Gen. Albert Ordway in high esteem for the good work that he performed in building up the national guard of the capital to its present high stage of efficiency. Gen. Ordway will be remembered, to be sure, for other works more or less closely identified with the city, but it was in his capacity as commander cf the District militia that he was best known here, and his death yesterday in New Yerk is cause for general regret and grief. Gen. Ordway’s military record was most brilliant and especially in view of the fact that he had attained high rank and had performed many deeds of marked gal- lantry before he reached the age of twenty- one years. His personal character was such as to enlist the affectionate support of those with whom he came officially or personally in contact. His gradually fail- ing health has been sorrowfully noted by his friends and now that death has come the city will feel that it has lost a friend and 4 faithful, energetic servant. hi —>ee—____ throwing of Honolulu was It is intimated that the flowers before Kaiulani at not a popular demonstrati office effect.

It is evident from the letters that are ap- pearing frum day to day in other columns of The Star that the theater problem has in this day of complex social conditions assumed ponderous proportions. The men and some women complain with justice of the size of women’s hats and of the wom- en's indifference while wearing those hats to the comfort and vision of all the rest of the world. The women and some men com- plain with equal justice of the men who are so rude as to leave the auditorium be- tween the acts from seats in the middle of rows and returning cause commotion and inconvenience to many others. Both sexes generally complain of the careless patrons of tne show who arrive late and disturb the other and more prompt patrons by crowding to their seats after the curtain has risen. All hands join in a protest against the chaiter of those who do not go to the theater to be amused or edified by what is portrayed on the stage, but who go merely to pose and to gossip with their neighbors. Fortunately this last fault is not as common in Washington as in other cities, but the other traits of humanity are all in evidence so strongly here as to suggest that a theater reform is necessary before the footlights, just as some critics of the drema now suggest that a reform is needed beaind them. The women of Washington are far more considerate now than they were some years ago in this matter of ob- structive head-gear, but as long as a few persistent women decline to recognize the trend of the times there will always be pro- tests from both men and women whose pleasure at the show has been reduced by reason of these useless obstacles to vision. The men who go Dut between the acts are worthy of the most radical measures of re- form, but the reform is to be directed at more than a betterment of their manners, as it involves the more difficult item of ad- justing the thirst. The late comers can be reached if the management should dare to adopt a radical remedy. The annoyance of these tardy arrivals is unquestionable, and they could soon be cured if all the man- 2gers were to close their doors promptly at the rise of the curtain and permit no entries while the stage was occupied. This step might provoke harsh criticism and would only succeed if it were taken by all the managers simultaneously. Even then it might be too severe. Yet prcbably the mest that can be done in the whole case is to appeal to the common-sense and polite- ness of all classes of people alike, the boys in the gallery as well as the ladies in the parquette. The theater is a dominant fac- tor in the amusements of the people nowa- days, and no pains should be spared to meke it enjoyable and free from the ann ances that detract materially from the, pleasure and profit of attendance. —___+ «+ ____ Curious Spanish Rensoning. General Blanco’s crder respecting the re- cencentrados is praiseworthy, but Spain is endeavoring to make impossible capital out of it. “See.” she exclaims, “how humanely we now are dealing with the non-combat- ants in Cuba! General Weyler's orders are revoked, and we are not only giving them their liberty ogain, but endeavoring to pro- vide for thefr necessities until they can sustain themselves. But see also how lit- tle effect it is having on the men in arms against us! They are absolutely unmoved by it. They are indifferent to our olive branck, whether it signifies humanity to the starvirg or autonomy for the whole island.” Why, it may be answered, should the in- surgents be moved by this thing? What has it got to do with the proposition upon which they originally took the field? The revolt against Spanish authority in Cuba is based upen the bad government inflicted upon the island, and upon the additional | Proposition that the only permanent relief frum that Hes in independence for Cuba. The matter of these helpless people—prin- cipally old men and women and children— unlappy as it is and a disgrace to Spain, is @ question entirely apart from the main question. The wants of every one of the reconcentrados might be fully and imme- diately relieved, and yet the cause of the revolt against Spain would remain as strong as ever. The men in arms against Spain are not figkting for the release of prisoners, but for the freedom of their country. But, sincere as General Blanco may be in this business, everything goes to show that it is not in his power to undo what his predecessor did against humanity in Cuba. He kas not the means to provide properly for his own soldiers. Their pay is months in arrears, and their daily rations are short. The island is a waste. The homes of the country people have nearly all been destroyed. General Blanco may divide rever so fairly the little that remains to- ward insuring hurnan comfort in Cuba, but large numbers must still be unfed. And, of course, outside of his immediate supervis- ion, in any dispute as to rations, the Span- iards with guns in their hands will not go hungry if there is anything in reach. The Sagasta program is shrewdly con- ceived, so far as appearances go, and so far as outsiders are concerned. But it is making no impression on the Cuban people. They are not being gulled even a little bit. —> +2 ___ The Marine Band. Prof. Zimmerman, it now seems, prefers to remain as leader of the Naval Academy Band at Annapolis rather than to come to Washington to be leader of the Marine Band. In reaching this decision Zimmer- man doubtless considers the recent history of the band, the martinet-like atmosphere that has surrounded it and the disadvan- tages under which its members have la- bored in the effort to eke out a respectable existence. They are miserably paid and are now threatened with such a stringent regulation that their unofficial sources of emolument will be materially reduced. Un- der such circumstances Prof. Zimmerman is wholly justified in deciding to remain under known and presumably pleasant con- ditions rather than to come here to par- ticipate in what it is feared will be the humiliation of the Marine Band. It will be difficult, in these circumstances, to find 2 leader of reputation and self-respect to take charge of the band. Few musical artists care to become identified with a mere gar- rison band and the past and present stan- dards of this excellent aggregation of mu- siclans can be maintained only under the direction of such an artist. For the sake of harmony it is to be hoped that the Ma- rine Band will either be quickly reduced to the grade that it is only too evidently sought to relegate it, or elevated to the po- sition that it has earned, that of a na- tional band, identified with the presidential functions and with the government as a whole. Congress should consider this ques- tion early in the coming session. ——~--__ _ Mrs. Levse did not think much of the w York horse show.

The disquieting reports about Mr. Glad- stone’s health, and the descriptions of the venerable statesman in retirement, call to mind that other eminent man out of office whose health ts so frequently discussed in the dispatches. Though so utterly unlike in their personalities, and in their methods while they were still actors on the politi- cal stage, Mr. Gladstone and Prince Bis- marck. in their latter day fortunes, are brought very close together. The great Englishman is in retirement by his own choice. His age called for repose, and he sought it in his brary surrounded by his books and papers. His surrender of the leadership of his party was one of the most striking episodes of the day. Prince Bismarck was forced out of office by his emperor, but he laid down his commission with a fine dignity, and repaired to the comforts of home with an expression of gratitude at having been relieved of a great burden. Doubtless both of these great men felt at the time a sense of freedom from care. Each of them probably saw some years of tranquility ahead. Mr. Gladstone turned to ris private studies, theology and history, and Prince Bismarck, with his pipe well filled and his beer close by, opened his En a eB S28 Ae Colic ll Bt et he the ENED a a ie RASS SEL a NP LA ih Ss UA ae LS a Sa in his mind, and he chafes under the ten- dency of things and his own helplessness. Prince Bismarck has not disguised his dis- gust with the management of German af- fairs since he left office. His repeated ref- erences to the subject have disclosed his continued interest in public business, and his total want of-confidence in his success- ors. He considers that. the power he did so much to establish is being frittered away. Thus ts filustrated again the fact that public men cannot lay aside care as though it were a garment. Retirement from office, even under the most flatter- ing circumstances, does not cancel interest in public events. It frequently, as in these two cases, emphasizes that interest, and makes the unofficial worry greater than the official worry. The veteran, as a rule, is a happier man in harness than out of harness, and lives longer. ———>+e—____ Fire-horses and Teachers. Apprecistion is very much of a relative commodity, after all. In New York a vet- eran fire horse has just been pensioned after nearly twenty years of efficient service, Leing quartered henceforth in a comforta- ble stall, with plenty of good feed and no work to do, in recognition of his hard work dvring a quarter of a century. The teach- ers of Washington include several men and women who have served faithfully as long a period as this fire horse and they ‘tre still at work at lcw pay without the opportunity to acccmulate a fund sufficient to provide for their own retirement. The contrast is pitiful. The fire horse well de- serves his good fortune, but all the more dces the school teacher deserve even bet- ter treatment. The teachers themselves have established a retirement fund, but this is lamentably inadequate, in view of the number of worthy teachers who should at ence be retired in their own interest and in that of the community. The amount now fa hand should serve as a nucleus for some official addition, if possible, and many private contributions. Give the teacher a standing at least even with that of the fire horses! —>e+o—_____ Modesty forbade mention in the various Thanksgiving proclamations of the grati- tude the inhabitants of the state ought to feel for having such a good governor. ———~>+e___ It remains to be seen whether what Mr. Mason proposes to explode in the Senate is real dynamite or only the usual bunch of firecrackers. 2 _____ It is alleged that socialism is making great advances in the United States. A good, reliable definition of “socialism” is now in order. SHOOTING STARS. A Reliable Test. “I am afraid that actors sometimes de- ceive us about the salaries they get,” re- marked the mild-mannered citizen. “No,” replied the keen observer; “they may think they do; but they don't. You never hear a man who is drawing more than $100 a week talking about the de- generacy of the modern stage.” Theory and Practice. The artist loves to paint a house In ivy-clad decay; But when it comes to living there, The landlord straightway must repair Or the artist moves away. A Mystery plained. “I thought that young man was un- popular.” “He Is,” replied the saturnine citizen. “But a number of people have invited him to take dinner with them on Thanks- giving day.” “Yes. He has been persuaded that he knows how to carve a turkey. Everybody enjoys seeing his embarrassment when he gets in the middle of the undertaking.” The Reason. “Golf,” remarked the young man who is wearisomely blase, “is one of the very few games that do not fatigue me?” “What is the reason for that?” “I never learned to play it.’ Waste of Energy. “It will not be long,” remarked the ami- abte old gentleman, “before corporal pun- ishment is wholly obsolete.” “Yes,” remarked the man with severe lines in his face; “‘when you observe what boys of all ages will stand without flinch- ing in a foot ball game, it really doesn’t seem worth while.” Holiday Hopes, “Folks does heaps o’ wonderin’,” Said Pickaninny Jim; “Everybody's guessin’ "bout Whut'll come to him. Knows I'll hab er dinntr fine An’ er appetite. Whut I's curious about Is nex’ Thanksgivin’ night. “Altus hab de turkey-bird An’ de gravy rich; Sweet pertaters, celery An’ mince pie an’ sich. Oftener you pass yoh plate, Mo’ you is polite. Whut I's wonderin’ ovuh, though, Is nex’ Thanksgivin’ night. “Squinch owl had er cake walk once; Rabbit wif a gun, Ridin’ on a spotted mule, Had me on de run. Eb’ry year dey makes me laugh, Spite ob all de fright. Wonduh whut I gwinter see Nex’ Thanksgivin’ night.” ——__+¢«_____ The Hip-Pocket Must Go. From the Charleston News and Courler. Human life is the cheapest thing in South Carolina. The dead man is always in fault. The juries are organized to acquit. The state is always at a disadvantage in prose- cuting those charged with murder. The administration of the law is affected by local and class considerations. We choose our victims. It is the man without influ- ence or money who feels the strong hand of the law. “Public opinion” is with the man who reaches the hip pocket first and gets the drop. The only hope of the state is in arousing public sentiment to a proper appreciation of the sin of bloodgulltiness. The pulpit, the press, the men who make and the men who administer the laws must be stirred up to a sense of their responsibility. The Eip pocket must go. The homicides must be punished. The state must be saved. ——————~22____ Where is Itt - ¥rom the New Haven Leader. Where is the solid south now?
