THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

The financial situation is changed some
what by the apparent preparation of the
administration to sell another $40, 900, 900
in bonds. This alternative may not be nee
eSsary, but arrangements are being made,
and should emergency demand the Treasury
will again be replenished with British gold.
The balance-of-trade apology for making
our Treasury a raiding ground for gold
speculators is getting worn pretty thin.
The sudden export shipments of gold whep
opportunity is right, followed by bond sale
and the immediate return to the Treasury
of the same yellow metal in payment of
the bonds, is costly proceeding to the
public, and should be stopped.
According To the London interview of
Comptroller Eckels the fault is with Con-
gress, and it must be CONCEDED that he is
pretty nearly right. FEe~Treasury should
either be divorced entirely from the bank
ing system or greenbacks must be abol-
ished. Wnen times are good and revenues
exceed expenditures the disastrous weak
ness in our financial system-gold specula-
ton in the Treasury reserves not appar-
ent. But when the outgo is greater than
the income and the needs of the Treasury
are urgent, the balance-of- trade argu-
ment furnishes a prolific excuse for ex-
porting gold to force q sale of bonds.
Undoubtedly there is foundation for the
assertion that the balance of trade against
US creates a demand for Treasury gold, but
how is IL that speculators seldom use their
own yellow metal for export, but call on
the Treasury for their supply? Perhaps
some of the speculators will answer this
query.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

Contractor Frank Mcyaugh will probably
find that he has involved himself in con-
siderable trouble in conspiring with his
men 10 violate the eight-hour law, unless
he can prove an emergency. In order TO
work them overtime he caused the en-
ployes engaged in putting up the structural
iron work of the new Printing Office TO
sign an agreement waving their right to
claim eight hours as days labor, but as
the ofrense for violating the law is against
the government instead OF the employees the
agreement is absolutely worthless.
The eight-hour law reads plainly, that
any officer or agent OF the government of
the United States or OF the District Of
Columbia, or any contractor OF subcon-
tractor whose duty it shall be to
employ, direct, or control any laborer
or mechanic employed upon any of the
public works of the United States or OF
the District OF Columbia, who shall inten-
tionally violate any provision of this act
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and for each and every such ofrense shall,
upon conviction be punished by a fine not
10 exceed Sl,OUO or Dy imprisonment LOT
not more than six months, or by both
such fine and imprisonment, in the dis
cretion of the court having jurisdiction
thereof" And as Contractor McVaugh de-
liberately made an agreement to violate the
law, and, according TO the statement OF his
employees, really did so, II is difficult TO
see how he can avoid submitting to The
penalty.
II is claimed that organized labor has
for some time past been looking for an
opportunity to test the eight-hour law,
afforded But perhaps Contractor Nc
Waugh can successfully plead that an emer-
gency existed, and if SO he cannot be
prosecuted.

SHIELD FOR INSULTERS.

The Indignation of Senior Jose Andrade,
Venezuelan minister to the United States,
because Don Alberto Fombona Palacio, an
attache of the legation, was arrested and
finedi Ne W ork for insulting women on the
street, is an unwarranted expression of
diplomatic freedom. The unnamable i'm
pudence of New York magistrate in
filming such an immaculate exemplar OF
Venezuelan gentility is an offense that can
not be condoned. And as the law provides
that the magistrate, the policeman who
arrested Don Palacio, and the insulted
be imprisoned for three long years, 1t is
refreshing 10 learn that the high-minded
Venezuelan minister is. determined to have
4 enforced.
The outrage to the peace and dignity of
FeHezuela is too great to be quietly en-
Cured. The insufferable insult to the lega-
ton must be avenged. Even the wild horse
of her coat-of-arms IS on its hind legs in
angry protest, and the woman, the police
man, and the magistrate must go to jail so
that the horse can again get down TO all
fours. But before proceeding TO inflict
such harsh punishment it is always best
10 be in calm state of mind and as the
Venezuelan minister seems siperheated with
q corner in the cold d-storage room of the
Center market until he can cool down to
a normal temperature.

A COMPOSITE EDITORIAL.

Herewith find a composite editorial
made up OF extracts taken from the Star
bragatorial of yesterday, which are com,
men ted on ad libitum by The Times
The object of this unique method of quoting
a contemporary is to show up the royal
tmpudence OF a newspaper that relies upon
appropriating tie ideas of others for its
success and prosperity. The weakness of
the Star for this peDchant is a subject of
criticism in newspaper circles, and this last
attempt to conceal its hypocrisy by claiming
credit for defeating the trolley trust is a
fair example Of its Starlight methods.
ihe language within the quotation marks
IS taken from the Star editorial-that not
within the quotation marks is the comment

on the part of the Officers OF the Humane
Society. 1t is shameful to the last degree
that among people who claim to be civil
ked such things should be possible.
1t is bad enough to work an animal six
days and six nights out OF the seven,
worse to feed it SO poorly that 1t is
nothing but skin and bone; worst of all,
to so maltreat it as to make it mass of
sores and fit for nothing but the boneyard.
This is so brutal that the laws sevcrest
penalty ought TO be visited upon the
heartless persons who have no spark of
consideration for the dumb beasts whose
patient labor is the means whereby they
earn a livelihood.
The progress of invention will probably
soon relegatc the towpath mules to the
limbo of useless things, but while they
have to labor they ought 10 be protected
against brutality. Even n towpath mule
has some rights that man ought TO respect.

doing something 1t had neither the courage
nor inclination to accomplish 1t was the
suit OF The Times against the trolley trust
that caused the removal of the poles, and the
Star can with equal justice and fairness
claim credit for having enacted the last
tariff law.
THE downfall is not that only of a few
poles and wires; 1T is the overthrow of a
great conspiracy" proposition The
Times had advocated from the beginning
of the controversy, and now that the poles
are gone the Star is attempting TO make
out its case by appropriating that part
Of The Times trolley thunder. The pub
lie has only to go back to the files of the
Star and read President Newbold's in
terviews to learn its exalted opinion of the
great conspiracy before the poles were
ordered down. At that time the trolley
trust was the soul of honor and President
Newbold was its white winged keeper.
Perhaps the public remembers that guile
like gush.

STREET CAR FARES

The experiment tried by the city OF
Glasgow in operating her own street rail-
ways with greatly reduced fares has
proved a wonderful success. About "A
year ago new aud better cars. were put in
service, shorter hours were given en-
ployes, and a one-cent fare introduced.
In eleven months the gross earnings OF
nearly thirty-two miles of track were
81 1,104 ,911, and the gross expenditure,
including interest and the maintenance
and renewal of tracks, buildings. ma
chinery and plant, horses, harness, roll
ing stock and equipments, was S9S6,7s2,
leaving a net profit of S11S,12 1t is
expected that next year the results Will
be even better, as the authorities in
charge have profIted by experience ard
will make tue expenses lighter.
There is no good reason why the same
results should not obtain In any city.
With rapid transit The expense of operat-
ing street railways is considerably less
ened aud greater inducements are offered
for patronage. But as most railway COM
panies will not reduce fares so everybody
can ride, their receipts are necessarily
limited. 1t may be safely asserted that
IL Washington street railways would give
the public three-cent fare their--patron-
age would easily be dou bled, and it viii
be seen that with such q result they
actual profits would be Increased by about
one-fourth.
Wherever the experiment Of cheap rail-
way fares has been tried the result has
been highly satisfactory, aud, while there
is little prospect of reduction in this
city, the public should continue TO de-
mand it.

ut would be difficult for the Star to
express the qualification it feels" at being
given an opportunity to appropriate the
honor OF defeating the trolley trust.
''Thesta was asfirstandforemostin
the tricksters," but because ofits owning $50
shares of trolley trust stock the assaults
were abandoned as soon as Judge Cox's de-
cision made it possible to remove the trolley
poles, and its efforts were directed to ad-
vising the Commissioners not to be hasty in
ordering them down.
"A suggestion by the Star was taken up
in the Senate which limited the legal exist
eDce of the poles and wires on New York
avenue. The limit was broader than the
Star expected it would have been. but the
Star accepted the three-year regulation"
This acceptance is the first intimation the
public has had that the Star regulates the
action of the Senate, and possibly it may
account 70 theslow blunders hatbodymade
at its last session. ''The Star may fairly
and not immodestly claim the credit" for

NEEDS LOOKING INTO.

The statement by Health Officer Wood
ward that there is a considerable increase
of cases of typhoid fever will cause an
unpleasant sensation in the minds of the
Washington public. Our people are SO
accustomed to boast of the city,s sanitary
status, honestly believing that they have
a right to do so, that the health officers
announcement will come upon them like
a shock.
DR.. woodward is justified in insisting
upon an immediate investigation of the
trouble, and urging the employment, for
this purpose, of special inspector, for ii
is of the last Importance to the community
that the true cause be discovered. So that
the proper remedy may be applied. 1t is
altogether probable that an investigation
will disclose the fact that defective plumb
ing is largely responsible for the prevalence
of the disease. There are hundreds Of
dwellings in the city, especially those
plumbing has never been changed, that are
constant nienaces To the health. not only
of the people occupying them, but to those
In adjoining houses.
In dwellings of this character sanitary
plumbing is an unknown quantity. Sewer
gases and other mephitic exhalations are
the rule rather than the exception, and the
conditions generally are such as to invite
disease

cellars and Easements, is probably another
fruitful source of typhoid ever. Damp

is yet another of The evils to be looked

Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts OF
