Some of the people whose confidence In
the veracity of corporations is a little out OF
joint have of late been inclined to grunibie
because the Metropolitan Street Railroad
Company has given no outward and visible
evidence of commencing operations on Its
9th street line. An interview with Presi-
dent Phillips, published elsewhere In The
Star today, will probably convince the
doubters that the company is acting in
good faith with the public and will. by
next midsummer. redeem Its promise as to
one branch of its property. The company
has every confidence in the system which,,
at so great expense. it will install-it has
worked admirably In Europe and should
work quite as well here. many Improve
ments having been made by American cleo
tricians. The act of Congress authorizing
the improvements gives the company UNI
til August to complete the task on 9th
street. 1t IL not unlikely that the new sys-
tenn will be In running order some time
before the legal limit is reached.

field in the possession Of score or so of
contending elevens. The shrewdness with
which things were manipulated up to the
profitable point was remarkable and was
as devoid of the principles of honesty as
all such doings are The announcement of
Mr.. Havemeyer's alleged intention to shut
down the sugar refneries was one of the
"bearish' moves, and this was followed by
other remarks originating with Mr.. Have
meyer and calculated, like the bogus an
nouneement of a shutdown, to make the
unwary decidedly afraid Of the securities
with which Mr.. Havemeyer and his associ-
ates In the trust have done some of the
most extensive gambling ever known In all
of stock-exchange history. In obedience
to schemes born in a master mind, prices
dropped more than a little; dropped Tar
enough to squeeze a great many very fool
ish people who imagined themselves pos
sessed OF financial ability sufficient to cope
with that in hourly use by members of the
trust. A few days of manufactured depres-
sion distressed those operators who were
or the wrong side of the market, and en-
abled the trust to make effective prepare
ton for a Gotable Killing" then the price
moved upward in a hurry and to such an
extent that conservative calculators be-
lieve that Mr.. Havemeyer alone Melted
more than half a million dollars of profit
in few hours. In view of the ability dis
played by the trust during the past few
days. 1t is somewhat difficult to understand
why that corporation bothers itself at all
about tariff matters. There was a time
when the company was engaged In legiti-
mate business-when it operated sugar re-
fineries-but the refining of sugar seems
now to be a secondary something; the
primary object is speculation. 1t may he
that such selfish combinations of capital
shall be permitted to exist for a little while
longer but the chances are favorable to
their speedy dissolution. Extraordinary
and adverse agitation Is not necessary;
few more such exhibitions as have been
seen during the past week or so will hurry
things to conclusion quite fast enough.

The Georgetown Departure.
ON the New York World.

From the New York World.
The directors OF Georgetown College have
made no stand against athletic sports.
They have not undertaken to say that
foot ball is necessarily brutal They have
simply assumed that the present rules
permit If they do not encourage brutality,
and have declared that their students must
not play exhibition games or matches with
teams from outside the college.
This is a most important departure-one
likely to be of serious consequence In edu-
cation.
The length Of the average life at col
lege is short that the Georgetown fac
ulty IS justified in concluding there Is none
of 1t to spare for starring tours of any
kind through the country. The question
of whether or not the vacation can be ad-
vantageously used by college students for
amusing the public by exhibiting them
selves in their specialtes does not seem
to have been considered at Georgetown.
1t was simply decided to confne the sport
of the college strictly to an amateur and
non-exhibition basis.
What member of any college faculty in
the country will venture to argue against
the correctness of this position?

Occasionally and too often, there come
from Navassa Island stories of starvation,
of inexcusable disease, of cruelty, OF rob-
berry, and of unnecessary death. The latest
of these horrible narratives is told by three
colored men, sufferers from scurVy, VINO
are now in the Maryland University Hos
pital 1t appears from the revelations
made yesterday that party OF laborers
left Baltimore for Navassa early in August
last; that the seventy men who went at
that time were to receive 33 cents per day
each as wages; that the food furnished
them was OF such character as to be re-
sponsible for an outbreak of scurvy; that
the men who were unable to work were
locked 80 cents each per day, although
when they were we'll they only received IS
cents for their labor, that in less than
two months and half about twenty men
dicd out of total force OF not quite TWO
hundred; and that those who were forced
to return home by reason of their physical
condition received no pay for the work
that they had done while they were well.
1t Is not unreasonable to imagine that this
government could, IL II so desired, see to
1t that humane and just treatment be &C
corded to citizens of the United States
no matter what their social or financial
status-who have business at Navassa
Given the opportunity, many appar-
ently-excellent persons will develop into
tyrants. There seems to have been a good
deal of tyranny and a good deal Of heart
less inhumanity exercised by those who are
locally in control at Navassa. The per-
sons who have suffered and who still sur
fer are but humble citizens Of this great
republic, but IL the spirit of our institu-
lions still lives the cry of the lowly should
be as easily heard and as quickly responded
to as the appeal Of the wealthy and in
fluential
