"AutOmatic" Safety Appliances

Officials of the street railway company
whose car loaded with people dashed
through an open draw in Cleveland the
other night. are explaining that the acct
dent was caused by failure of the auto
matte cutoff which is supposed to shut the
current from the wires for long distance
from the draw whenever it is opened for
the passage of a vessel. This. if true. IL
Illustrates still further the contention of The
Star of yesterday that there Is too little at
tention paid to the safeguards upon which
human life depends. There Is evidence to
show that this appliance which was the
sole protection against calamity, was out
of order, that it had failed to work at the
very time when it should have operated,
on a dark night with heavily loaded car
going at a brisk speed. 1t had probably
not been inspected for long time, and it
was presumably taken for granted that,
being automatic it could always be
trusted. The lesson taught by this dis
covery is that each piece of machinery that
is intended to protect human life should be
guarded by the most constant vigilance,
and that the fact that it is automatic in its
operation should not prevent it from being
subjected to unremftting surveillance.

A Monument to Eugene Field.

A movement has been inaugurated in Chi
cago with the object in view of erecting a
monument to the memory of Eugene Field,
who has been justly termed 1.-The poet
laureate of the American children" 1t is
proposed that the fund for this purpose
shall be raised by contributions from the
little ones, and already the list of givers is
long and the total of their mites begins to
assume adult proportions. The enterprise
is being managed by committee of the
editors of Chicago's great newspapers, all
men of national repute, with the venerable
Joseph Medill at the head The list of givers
is open to the children of the whole land,
without regard to states or towns for the
rhymes of Eugene Field have reached little
hearts in every nook and corner of the
country and his Little Boy Blue is today
& pet of the nation. The Star will gladly
forward to the treasurer of the monument
committee any contributions that the chill
dren of Washington may desire to make to
swell the fund. No sum is too small for
such purpose, and those now announced
range from five cents to dollar.

The Baltimore American takes occasion in
criticising Secretary Morton's annual report
to charge the Weather Bureau with being
$50 utterly inefficient and unreliable that
the people would have been more benefited
had the entire appropriation been covered
into the Treasury" This is not the fact
The Weather Bureau is neither inefficient
nor unreliable. Nor did the change in its
immediate management, as The American
declares, result in diminution of it's value
to the people. The same corps of forecasters
remained on duty, with few EXCEPTIONS and
practically the same system of making fore
casts is followed under Prof. Moore as under
Prof. Harrington. The annual value of this
bureau to the people Is very great, and the
ratio of accuracy in its forecasts, while
they may fail In some cases. is steadily
growing higher as the meteorological condi-
tiops Of the country become better known
Secretary Morton deserves credit for the
hearty support that he has given to this
branch of the public work, and it has flour
ished and improved under his administra-
ton as never before In its history.

The Public Library Project.

This seasons campaign for free public
library in Washington has opened in vigor
Gus and promising fashion. The report of
the board of trade committee, published
elsewhere in The Star. urges consolidation
of effort to secure legislation creating
municipality sustained library, which is
shown to he the only real public library in
the modern sense of the term. First sub
scriptions of money to purchase books and
magazines. conditioned upon the desired
legislation by Congress, are to be obtained
and then movement upon our legislature is
proposed to cause it to create a tax-sus
tanned library, and thus to make the private
subscriptions for books effective. Seven
thousand dollars, in a memorial fund and in
two direct subscriptions, have already been
promised, though no opportunity for sub
scriblng has yet been presented to the gen.
eral public outside of the committees mem
bership, and there are several citizens of
means and public spirit who await only this
opportunity to contribute. Washington may
have no single citizen to serve as its Carne-
gle, but by combining its men of Carnegie's
disposition though of less than his wealth it
can doubtless aggregate a small-sized Carne-
gle, and provide satisfactory sum from
private subscription to equip a municipal
library.

In Touch with the Popular Side,

Wash. Cor. Louisville CourerJournal
Judge Holman is out in long interview in
today's Star crticising the adniinistratio in
it's treatment of the Hawaiian question. The
Judge thinks that If Mr.. Cleveland had
recognized the republic of Hawaii in the
start it would have made the democra tic
party so popular that it would have won the
last two elections. Now Judge Holman
wants the insurgents in Cuba recognized as
belligerents and the Monroe doctrine strictly
upheld. If this Is done the judge thinks the
democrats will have chance to win in 1896.
There Is one thing that Judge Holman al
ways keeps in touch with. and that Is the
popular side Of any and all questions.

A Comic Opera in ConstantinopIe.

Divorced for the moment from its terrify-
ing aspects the predicament of the Sultan
Of Turkey reminds one of comic opera of
tho farcical type. This absurd monarch
surrounded by a ballet and clad in extrava-
giant robes, should now prance down to the
International footlights and MARBLE a topical
song about the great I-am-ness" of himself
and his realm. He should draw his scimetar
and make great bluff at decapitating his
ministry, headed by grand vizier, who has
shaking knees, knowing wink behind the
sultan's back and high hat surmountcd by
peacock feathers. Then the orchestra
should play martial measure and the sui
tan should order that an army of half a
million men be modified day after tomor-
row. No men? Then hire them! No funds ?
Then get money! on with somebody's head.
