Good government has not in many years
been SO conspicuously victorious as it now
seems to be In the city of New York Ever
since the board Of police commissioners, led
by Theodore Roosevelt and earnestly sup
ported by Mayor Strong. started out to en-
force the Sunday-closing law there has
been persistent effort on the part of a great
majority Of the saloon-keepers to evade the
provisions Of the statute, and, in a large
number of instances. to defy those who
were charged with the responsible duty of
enforcing the law. From the liquor deal
ers issued protests and threats in great
volume, but the pleadings and denuncia-
lions were alike In vain, and each succeed
ing Sunday found Manhattan Island much
drier than It had been a week before
But the strife was too hot even for those
who announced themselves as willing to
keep up their end of the campaign until
the coming Of another municipal admins

1t is possible that the Chinese will them
selves complete the work of Chna's disin-
tegration which was so successfully begun
by the military and naval forces of Japan.
careful Weighing of the information re-
Gently received from Chinese sources as to
the assaults which have of late, and still
are, being made upon the foreign residents
of China indicates that in the near future
some one or more of the great powers will
be compelled to interfere with Chinese
governmental methods in order that the
lives and property of foreigners In the Ce-
lestial Empire may be rendered reasonably
safe. Diplomatic history plainly records
the fact that China has never been honest
in its dealings with other nations; that it
has been consistently insincere and tricky:
that when 1t has ever done justly by an
aggrieved foreigner it ras done so under
compulsion. Undisputed testimony is to
the effect that missionaries and other phi
lanthropic or commercially-inclined eau
casians have been during the past two or
three months robbed, maltreated and in
some instances killed. 1t is not to be
imagined for a moment that any of the
civilized powers whose citizens have suf-
fered from Chinese misconduct will be
content with a superficial inquiry and with
Chinese failure to inf1ict the punishment
which is justly due

The thousands of people In Washington
who wanted to know how Saturdays boat
races were won and lost did not have to
seek far for the information; it was
brought to their doors in an extra edition
of The Star, which contained also the re-
suits Of the baseball and national cham
pionship tennis games and of the Fu.urity
race. Many extras" are unsatisfactory
because they do not attempt to present
anything more than the mere outlines of
the principal events, but the Saturday
evening extra" gave a great quantity OF
deeply interesting details and was appre-
ciated by many thousands of readers.

While 1t Is a matter of regret that the
magnificent trophies which are rowed for
annually in the Potomac river regatta
were severaiiy won by visiting crews, The
Evening Star cup being secured by the
Pennsylvania Barge Club, the Mason cup
by the Ariels of Baltimore and the Post
cup by the Baltimore Athletic Club. there
is also much comforting reflection to be
gained from the results by those who are
interested in local aquatics. The losing Of
SO much by the local clubs will spur each
Of them to extra effort to win next year,
and the outcome will be to increase the in
terest in rowing in Washington and bring
to the front many candidates, as stalwart
and muscular they are ambitious, for
seats in the crews who will wear Analos-
tan, Columbia and Potomac colors in the
contests for the row departed cups in the
regatta of 1896. 1t is scarcely necessary to
urge the home clubs to make up their
minds to get those trophies back. The or
CARNATIONS are composed of members who
will not rest until the oversight of this
year Is rectified. There is plenty of mate
rial in each club from which to form win
ming crews. Let it be SO handled and de-
veloped that the close of the next regatta
will tell a different and more cheering
story.

1t will be interesting to see Mr.. Brice in
the Senate during the coming session in the
role of a champion of the administration.
During the famous tariff fight, and at va
rious times, the Ohio Ser ators name has
been associated with anti Cleveland combi-
nations He was spoken of as one of the
wicked confectionery half-dozen who
blocked the tariff bill for sugar. His
friends protested against this injustice, but
protests seemed to do little good. 1t is in
wanted to be friendly to tho administra-
ton; that, in fact, he has never been any
thing but friendly. and that he has been
all this while falsely classified. Attention
is called to the fact that during the fight
for the repeal of the silver purchase law
he was enc of the most active workers for
just what Mr.. Cleveland wanted to ac-
complish; and yet that was not enough to
take him out of the anti-Cleveland CLASH
fication. 1t IS said that he has made
number Of tentative moves to secure the
confidence of the administration in his
friendly intentions, but has never been
successful. 1t Is believed now, however
that his loyalty has been fully demon
strated. The victory he won in Ohio was
in every way as important If not more so,
than that of Secretary Carlisle in Ken
lucky. 1t was more complete and should
be more far-reaching in it's consequences
Mr.. Carlisle's victory endeared him to Mr.
Cleveland: why may not Mr.. Brice hope to
find the same favor In The executive eyes?
Politicians believe he will and that lie will
be elected to leadership of that small
band of loyal Cleveland men in the Senate.

In cities whose Inhabitants have found
Professionalism uncomfortable by reason of
municipal neglect the public demand has
been for smooth sidewalks. There has been
such demand here, and there will con-
tinue to be until the present movement to
substitute solid granolithic pavements for
brick. and asphalt for Belgian block, is
wholly successful. Smooth streets and
sidewalks are. however, more than merely
comfortable; they are much more healthful
than the other varieties, which are now al
together too common. In the Engineering
Record attention Is directed to the fact that
recent examinations of the atmosphere in
Cleveland. Ohio. as we'll as considerable
work of similar character in other places
reveal unsanitary conditions of the air to
which the street pavcments contribute very
materially. The Record says:
TT is, of course. obvious that the waste
gases from chinneys and the vapors
thrown on by sewers and in some Industrial
operations will by their presence directly
vitiate the atmosphere. and in some cases
But in general We believe that the known
deterioration of the atmosphere in cities Is
largely produced by the unsanitary condi-
ton OF the street surfaces"
Discussing that atmospheric deteriora-
ton, the Record proceeds to show, as most
sanitary engineers Know, that street wash
ings are quite as deleterious to the atnlos-
phere and the health as is ordinary sewage.
Dirt, saturated with the foul liquids of the
street. finds an abiding place between the
bricks and the blocks. and this moisture.
constantly undergoing evaporation and re-
newal. must surely work injury to the
human frame. Gradually the filth sinks to
the lower level of the pavement, and in the
course of comparatively brief period of
time the earth upon which the pavement
rests is completely saturated and becomes
polluted to such an extent as to seriously
endanger the public welfare. The remedy
Is in the speedy removal of the unsatisfac-
tory single block pavements. whether they
are Of stone or brick, and the laying OF
contnuous-surface pavement that will
stand washing and prevent the saturation
of Garth which cuts SO much of a fisute in
Hrban vital statistics. In Washington the
brick pay ement is now being steadily super
se,led by artificial stone, so laid that a
fruitful cause of ill-health must surely
vanish as rapidly as the work of suosti-
tuition proceeds.

laudable conclusion that the time has ar
rived when 1t would be much better for
them to capitulate. Friday the excise
committee of the Central Association of
the Wine, Beer and Liquor Dealers pre-
scented to the court Of special sessions a
resolution which had been adopted by the
committee and which will tomorrow
be submitted to the association for Its ac-
ton. The resolution provides that on and
after Sunday, September /, 1895, all mem
bers of the Wine and Beer Dealers Asso-
citation shall close their places of business
on Sunday, and any member of the assocfa-
ton who shall thereafter keep his place
open In violation of this resolution and Of
the law shall forfeit all his rights, privi-
leges and benefits as member of the as
ISOLATION. That the main body will indorse
the action of its most important committee
seems to be certain, for all the more active
members of the association were consulted
before the resolution was framed. President
Tekulsky, of the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton, declares in an interview that the
resolutions are honest in every respect, and
that the organization Is powerful enough
to enforce its mandates. I'VE shall also"
said he, make 1t our business to see that
saloon-keepers outside the organization
close, as we do not want our business
stolen away" Which means in brief that
every member and employee of the Liquor
Dealers Association will be on the alert to
prevent violations Of the excise law. One
Of the prominent members Of the associa-
ton outlined the associations program as
fellows:
I'VE have got lot of work before US.
These outsiders will say when they hear of
this: Now is your chance to go in and get
business away from these fellows. Now
that they have closed, the police will be
less vigilant, and we can open q little
wider. People have got to get Sunday beer
somewhere, and with half the saloons
closed We'll get twice as much business, so
we can afford a little extra expense and
chance OF arrest These are the fellows we
are going to paralyze. I would not be sur
prised II a detective corps of volunteers
went to work next Sunday. 1t won't be
amateurish spy work, either. It will be
expert investigation, conducted by men
who know the business from A to T."
So long as the liquor dealers remained
solid In their opposition to the law and its
forces there was always probability Of the
laws violation. but now that the more
reputable dealers have arrayed themselves
on the side of good government and in
opposition to the non-association dealers
New York will enjoy. until the existing law
is repealed. the dryest Sundays ever known
In the history of that community.

1t would be reasonable to Imagine that by
this time there would no longer be any
difference Of opinion betwe an the authori-
ties and even one of the local street rail-
road companies as to fender equipment for
cars. A serious difference of opinion does
exist, however, as to the wheel guards used
en- the Columbia Company's cars. and the
courts will probably be called upon to settle
the difficulty.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 2.-The course of
prices this morning indicated a preponder-
ance of favorable influences. and re-
sumption of activity along broader lines
seems within the limits of reasonable prob
ability. The distinctly weaker tone of the
foreign exchange market supplied the d.
1ect incentive for the improvement in spec
ulative sentiment. A reduction in the rate
for demand accommodations to 4S7 ga and
supply Of commercial drawings consider
ably In excess of the demand removes TIE
most discordant influence in the street.
The apprehension incident to the steady
less Of gold since the middle of July will. in
all probability, be supplanted by feeling
of confidence based on existing commercial
conditions, basis of reasoning too long
overlooked.
The covering of short contracts and an
extension to the interest on the opposite
side of the market combined in making
substantial additions to first prices.
Sugar was the feature Of the day on good
buying inspired by a profitable business
and the advancing tendency of the market
Tor the refined product. 1t is likely that a
bull campaign has been determined upon
at this juncture in order to complete the
movement prior to the reassembling of
congress. Chicago houses were liberal
buyers of the stock of the Chicago Gas
companies on rumors that the reorganiza-
tion of the property will be undertaken
without delay
The current talk of the street is that the
Fidelity Trust receipts now being traded in
VIII De taken up by the committee, and
that new certificates will he issued under
the provisions of the laws OF this state.
The buying of Distillers was UNCHANGED
in character.
In the railway list prices were marked ur
uniformly on well distributed volume OF
business.
The coal stocks were all strong, but at
tracted little business, Reading being the
one active feature of the group.
The granger shares improved moderately
on trading in the interest of both accounts.
A further decline in exchange rates dur
ing tie Afternoon added emphasis to the
early predictions that the tendency of this
market was toward material concessions
from the export point.

Judges and Jurics Sat In Cold Rooms
in Baltimore.
Special Dispatch to Tie Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Nd, October 1.-The po-
litical engagement in the city which has
tied up the appropriations in the city coun-
Gil has seriously affected the courts, and
there Is no coal with which to heat the
buildings. and judges and jurors are suf-
fering during the cold weather. Today
Judge Wright of the circuit court had to
move his court room to the office of ex-
Governor William Pinkney White on ac-
count Of the cold. The temperature in the
other courts is so low that some of them
will likely have to adjourn before the days
session Is ended.
All the judges wore their overcoats, and
the jurors also had theirs thrown over their
shoulders. At the beginning of today's ses-
sion the judges asked the jurors if they
could endure the cold. and If not they
would adjourn court. None seemed TO care
to assume tile responsibility of causing an
adjournment. SO they answered they would
try to stand it out.
1t was stated that resolution will be in
PRODUCED in the council on Monday night for
the appropriation of sufficient money to
purchase coal for the winter. AS the city
treasury Is empty. however, there may be
difficulty in getting the money.
