THE EVENING STAR IL . PAPER
OF TO-DAY, not Of YESTERDAY nor
OF LAST WEEK. IL prints ALL THB
NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign,
LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN
ING PAPERS.
This is conspfcuously true OF all classes
Of news, but especially 80 in regard to
Local News and District Affairs.
THE STAR has very much LARGER
and BETTER force Of LOCAL RE.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND

Its readers every afternoon the news Of

From the Spectator.

From the spectator
It was . justice Of the high court to whom, in
former days, was attributed the famous ex-
ordium Of charge to . jury in case of lar
ceny: ''For forty centuries the thunders of
Sinai have echoed through the world, Thou
shalt not steal This il also . principle Of the
common law and . rule of equity" When
Swift and Pope made their celebrated excursion
into the art Of sinking in poetry they never
contrived any bathos more perfect or COM
plete than this. Almost a. delightful, though
expressed without the same literary skill, 10
the sentence Of . president Of . court martial:
der, but you have run bayonet through the
brooches Of one Of her msjesty's uniforms"
Perhaps, however, the best Of all such judicial
utterances il that ascribed TO . rural justice Of
the peace; Prisoner, 2 bountifui Providencs
stead OF which you 60 about the country steal
ing hens."

The Big Window Glass Strike Settle,

The strike OF the window-light glass blowers,
which began last June and has seriously a.
fected manufacturers and 5000 employees in
the business, most Of whom are in New York.
New jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, was
settled Saturday In Baltimore. Delegates rep
resenting both sides met in the Office Of Baker
Brothers and an agreement was reached and a
scale to continue one year was signed. The
demand Of the blowers was for an advance of
10 per cent, but compromise advance OF 81
per cent was agreed upon. The new scale goes
into effect immediately.

another to the list Of remarkable performances

The advice of The STAR to the man who has
contemplated playing the role of Oklahoma
cOlonist and of entering upon a struggle with
Winchester rifles to be the lucky one of ten COM
petitOrs to hold an Oklahoma homestead, has
been the same that of Punch to those con-
templating matrimOny: '.Dontr' 1t has not
been able TO perceive the wisdom of abandon
ing homes and occupations in the east and
passing over cheap and good lands in the
immediate vicinity of their city in order to en-
gage in this dangerous scramble for prizes of
SO little value when won. Ii the west has ire
sistible charms, cheap lands can be obtained in
states and territories upon which rot all the
restless and floating population of the republic
Is descending. THE STAR has no disposition to
change its advice in respect to Oklahoma: but
for the success of any colonists who NAV 90
there from Washington it has nothing but good
wishes, and it will be pleased if in respect to
them its warning may be found to be uncalled
for.

The law against the importation Of labor m

The law against the importation Of labor IN
der contract is too broad to please most people,
since as construed by the courts it shuts out
such laborers as ministers; and is not sufi-
GENTLY broad to suit few people since it does
not protect such laborers as actors from for
eign competition. 1t is unsatisfactory to every
body. 1t is easily evaded by the class Of immi-
grants against whom it is aimed by the device
OF refraining from making formal contract I'M
til after they have landed and by caution on their
part IN answering questions concerning the
circumstances of their immigration 1t finds
Its most frequent application by being sprung
unexpectedly in cases where it can serve no
useful purpose, and which arise mostly when
the contracts with foreigners are Of such
character that it OCCURS to one of the parties
that there is Prohibitory law which must be
evaded. An English minister is forbidden to
come here under contract with New York con-
gregatiOn. A Swiss expert designing to enter
the service of an American manufacturing COM
pany. by the aid of whose superior knowledge
q certain industry is to be extended, so that
employment will be given to hundreds of addi-
tional workmen, is ruled out by Collector
Magone. The class of workmen whom it is de-
sired to exclude come by the hundred in spite
of the law. The law needs mending. 1t should
be less'comprehensive in scope, and be stronger
and better enforced in the cases to which it
properly applies.

The attention of the police department is
called to the complaints heard on every side
about the small boy with his new toy gun
This latest petty engine of destruction is a
wooden affair which propels good sized leaden
shot with tremendous force. 1t will kill bird
at quite distance, put out human eyes and
break window panes. II the boys would use
their guns in the proper places, and avoid
pointing them at objects which can be seriously
damaged by the missile. there would be no oc-
casion for stopping their sport; but the dam
gerous nuisance which this form of amuse-
ment has become through the reckiessness of
most OF the shooters, seems to call for prompt
and complete suppression. Several children
have already been hurt and much property
destroyed, and the new gun has taken rank as
the legitimate successor of the toy pistol
which was forcibly tabooed in every self-re-
specting community few years ago. An order
should 60 forth forbidding the use of the gun
within the city limits.

The illegal telegraph poles in New York con-
tinue to fall before the city's axe. Grant will
fight it out on this line if it takes all summer,
and as his battle is that of the people he may
find justification in precedents for dreaming of
q goyernorship or presidency as the victor's
reward. The great corporations when called
npon to obey laws regulating their conduct in
the interest of the public are ever
fertile in excuses for refusal and in grounds of
delay. The law must be enforced and boldness
under such circumstances is the great virtue in
municipal authorities. Chicago was compelled
to quicken the removal of the overhead wires
by active assistance to the telegraph company
in chopping down the poles. New York has
followed suit. Other cities will catch the idea
that to improve their appearance and safety in
the face OF resistance by interested corporations
''there is nothing so conciliating as a little
severity"

Robert P. Porter ought to make very good
superintendent of census. He is a trained sta
tistician, and obtained his first wide introduc-
ton to the American people through his mono
graph on public debts in the United States
Some of the southern statesmen found fault
with his figures as to the debts of their several
states; but as those have been matters of dis
pute ever since the era of reconstruction, one
