Again the Fender.

There is something entertaining in the
compiacency with which the street railroad
managers and the inventors of the tenders
in use on the local street cars regard their
pet appliances in view of the frequency
with which these devices fail to fender
A few days ago The Star published a long
article rejecting the entire satisfaction CT
not only the railroad and fender people
but the authorities well, with the pres
ent conditions. Tuesday evening the latest
accident occurred. A wheelman CHANGED 10
steer In front of a cable car in Georgetown
and was run down. According to the
theory of its construction, the fender should
have picked hun up. and pushed him along
i'll front of the car. Instead, it rode over
him and passed him back to the wheel
guard, the last defense. This in turn pin
ned HIM down, and. had it not been that
the gripman managed to stop his car ex-
acty at this juncture, doubtless the man
would have been manned or perhaps killed
By a marvel he escaped from the fender
and the wheelguard with no more serious
INJURY than damage to his clothing. 1t ap-
pears that the Tenders and wheei-guards
are Ltirely satisfactory to everybody ex-
cept the people who are so unfortunate as
TO get in front of them.

The Commissioners and Days Labor

In view of the favorable attention given
last winter by the Senate District commit
tee to the bill proposing the substitution
OF the day-labor system in several depart
mentS Of municipal administration in the
District for the contract system now so
generally in vogue it is probable that the
Commissioners will have little difficulty in
persuading that body. at least, to grant
them the authority to erect school houses
ard other public buildings by days labor
during the next fiscal year. The announce
Ment enat they have decided to make the
effort to secure this permission will be un-
welcome news. of course, to the men who
Rave tnriven under the contract system
On the other hand. the great body of citi-
zens Will unquestionably be pleased for
there Is d strong and a growing belief that
better results can be accomplished by mu-
nicipal work, especially in this direction,
and The Star has repeatedly urged that the
powers of the &C mmissioners be extended
10 THIS end There are many features in
the present system that are obnoxious. not
only TO the taxpayers and the officials but
10 the iaboring classes themselves and il
Is significant that the influence of the local
organizations of workingmen has been
thrown squarely In favor OF the plan of
performing much if not most of the city's
work by days labor.

The RumOr as to Baron Fayu,

The run.or of the recall of Baron Fava,
the Italian minister, upon the ground that
he has not been sufficiently active in press
ing the investigation of the recent lynchiug
of Italian subjects in louisiana, seems TO
have no warrant. A similar story, 1t is
to be recalled, was put out at the time of
the Malta trouble in New Orleans several
years ago, and Baron Fava did. pending
the settlement of that question, make e
visit to Italy. which was understood to
have been suggested by his government
for the purpose of an explanation of the
Condition of things here. and this served as
the basis for a good deal of gossip. But
sharp as some of the correspondence be-
tween tue two governments was on that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-09-03

subject, diplomatic relations were not brok-
en- of, and Baron Fava, after his visit
home was over, returned to his post here.
A story like this would not live a day
II It we're not true that other foreign min
listers at this capital have suffered at home
by reason Of the inability Of their gov
errments to grasp the workings Of the
machinery of this government. Senior
MUruaga, the immediate predecessor of
Seror de LONE, retired from his post
largely because of Spanish criticism Of his
course in the Alliance affair. And yet,
as the matter appears here. there was no
justice whatever in that criticism. Senior
Muruaga could not have stayed Secretary
Gresham's hand had he tried. He did
what he could. and as much as anybody
else could have done. toward supporting
the Spanish side of that episode. But he
could not win, because Spain had no case.
The United States was in the right, and
Spain subsequently acknowledged the fact.
But not in time to enable Senior Muruaga
to save his bacon.
Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish minister,
after ten years service here is retiring
under circumstances beclouded with a good
deal of gossip. 1t was stated in the news
papers last winter during the debates in
Congress on the Armenian massacres that
the Turkish government was displeased
with its representative here because of the
freedom of that discussion at the expense
OF Turkey. 1t seemed to feel that had
he been little more active and aggressive
in bis communications with the State De-
rartment Congress might have been muz-
zied. Then the newspapers commented
with severity on Turkeys attitude. and a
number of them, including The Star, were
Dut the hla ck 1iSf IN
of this appeared ridiculous enough here
Mavroyeni Bey was no more to be expected
to control or even influence public senti-
ment in the United Stat ties oh the subject
or Armenia than to submit an amendment
to the Constitution. But he has been re-
called. Judged from the American stand
point, he has been very efficient man for
his country here. He is personally one
OF the most popular members of the diplo-
matte corps, and that Is full half Of the
diplomats game.
There would be little excuse for impa-
tience on the part of the Italian govern
ment with its minister here about the pres
ent matter. 1t is. far as diplomacy
goes. analogous in every way to the New
Orleans matter, and about that Mr.. Blaine
wlcte one of the clearest and strongest
letters he ever penned. In that letter
MIR. Blaine made 1t entirely plain to Italy
and to all countries that the United States
would not be unduly hurried in the trans
action OF business, nor forced in any cir
cumstances to proceed by any but its own
forms. He explained the forms in use
here. and showed both their completeness
and necessity. If they have mislaid this
letter at Rome. or forgotten its full pUr-
port, it would repay them to send for a
copy.

Petition to LII Hung Chang.

Petition to LII Hung Chang.
It's much to ask the ear OF one SO lofty in
estate,
But the culprit whom / mention will re-
spect none but the great.
Pray think of how you suffered for a yell
low jacket lost,
And then muse on the sorrow that my shirt
Of white has cost.
1t seems a very humble badge, but tits re-
spected here;
It's token Of good breeding which all
gentlemen revere.
And the manner Of its treatment by ma
tive of your land
Makes me fear that a dispute involving
nations is at hand.
Surprising. gentle Lii. that saffron jacket
To Mrs. Flynn. who washes well at prices
always just.
The hieroglyphics that would speak your
thoughts must needs be stout,
If she gave it back in tatters with the but
tons all pulled out.
And yet countryman of yours. cunning
foe disguised.
Who goes to Sunday school, it's true, but
won't be naturalized.
Treated our noble emblem with a rigorous
diSdain
Which makes me doubt If 1 can ever put It
on again.
1t must have been a rage that slit that
bosom high and low,
And nothing else than malice could have
torn the collar so.
And with these eyes 1 saw him, as by night
l CHANGED to stray.
When he spat in showers upon 1t in a most
coEtemptuous way.
So. while We willingly bestow the reverence
you hold due
To the jacket that is yellow and the feather
that Is blue,
Pray warn this saucy underling that it Is
wrong to slight
And treat with such indignity my cherished
shirt Of white.
