Washington's Acid ThroWer.

Another strange species Of criminal is
abroad in this city, throwing acid or some
other soiling fluid upon the light wraps Of
women in the shopping districts Thus far
the efforts of the police to detect the mis-
creant have proved unavailing, and reports
of losses continue to be received, indicating
that the fact that he Is being searched for
has not deferred him. 1t may not be
doubted that eventually he will be cap
tured, and his severe punishment should
promptly follow. 1t will be remembered
that few seasons ago a young German
was caught who had engaged in long
series of dress sashings, in some cases
utterly running costly garments and in
general causing widespread alarm among
the women Of Washington. He proved to
be mentally deranged, and he was ulti-
mately sent back to his relatives in Ger
many. 1t may be that the present male
factor is Of the same character as the I'M
fortunate Krebs, or he may prove to be
merely inspired by a brutal desire to make
mischief and to enjoy the sensation which
his mysterious and destructive anctlcs
cause. In the latter case, when caught he
should be given the extreme penalty Of the
several laws under which he can be ar
raigned A person like this Is public
menace and the sooner he is restrained the
better it will be for the community.

agitation as an instance of how the combi-
nation of capital and industry under a
single corporate head results, with wise
administration, in a reduction of cost to the
public. Its record has shone out in con-
spicuous contrast. as rule, with that of
the beef trust, for instance. But now, in
the day of a great public emergency. when
the people rely upon oil as a means Of res
cue from the intolerab-e conditions i'm
posed by the coal famine, the Standard
Oil Company shows signs of lapsing, just
as have other monopolies. and Of taking
advantage Of the country's necessities to
make a few millions of extra profits.
Under some circumstances an increased
demand for a commodity Is regarded as an
economic excuse for increased prices. The
consuming public has never fully Endorsed
this doctrine. pointing to its injustice when
ever necessity causes the greater demand
and at the same time diminishes the buying
capacity of the family. But even If the
rule prevail there are circumstances, like
the present, which cause it's application to
be no less than inhuman and monstrous.
The addition Of fifty per cent to the retail
price of oil can today be explained only on
enjoying a strict monopoly of the industry,
has the power to charge what it pleases. A
ruthless exercise of that power, depriving
the people of reasonably-priced substitute
for coal, can only mean an addition to the
public distress. Such spectacles as this ag-
gravatfng the peoples misery, can only
hasten the day of reckoning for all monop-
olies, whatever their past record may be.

Coal News,

By telegraph from Philadelphia today
comes an announcement which seems clearly
to indicate that the Philadelphia and Read
ing company does not propose to abrogate
the October schedule which fixes the Wash
ington price at SIPS ton. In all likelihood
that schedule, originally announced as ex-
tending only to January 1. will remain in
force during the greater part of 1903. Just
at present the public Is very little concerned
about the half-doIlar advance upon the nor
NAL rates which the October announcement
proclaimed. It does not altogether relish
the prospect of being compelled to pay
throughout next year an additional retail
price in order that the operators may re-
coup the losses suffered by them In conse-
Quence of the strike, but In the face of
threatened abrogation Of the rates to open
the door to unlimited competition for high
prices the maintenance Of the $7.25 rate will
be accepted by the consumers as a boon.
In this state Of comparative gratitude the
public is still further cheered by the an
nouncement which also comes today by
wire, that the Reading officials are prepar-
ing to spend large sum In opening new
mines and equipping them with machinery.
Yet there is little hope that this can be done
in season to have much bearing upon the
present emergency for coal mining and
sorting machinery cannot be picked up In
the general market at short notice. nor can
new collieries be quickly opened for work.
Ing. The provision of the machinery Is
likely to prove the most serious item OF
possible delay. Already the breakers at the
established mines are being worked to
pacity, and their limit marks the limit OF
the mines productivity. Even with more
mines In full operation there may be diff
Guilty III marketing the coal. as the track
age Of all the coal-bearing railroads is now
taxed to the utmost in the passage of fuel
trains
However, the disposition on the part Of
the largest coal producer to refrain from
joining in a rate-raising contest with the
independents and to spend large sums to in
crease the product is calculated to soften
the feelings Of the public which have been
harried to a point Of inexpressible indigna-
ton by the events leading to the present
fuel famine

Police Court Horrors.

It would be desirable If committee OF
leading members of the two houses of Con-
gress, representing the appropriations COM
tees, for instance, could be persuaded to
visit the District Police Court some Mon
day morning in order to witness the scenes
there enacted on that day of heavy calen-
dars. 1t is not to be questioned that one
such experience would suffice to inspire
every member to do everything possible to
obtain an appropriation at once for the
erection of a new building for that inn
portant court. In another part of todays
Star is printed an article descriptive of the
conditions there and of the makeshiftts
which are employed to keep the nuisances
at a minimum. Paint however will not
subdue odors which come from insanitary
cells, nor will limitless scrubbing cure the
evils which result from the over-crowding
of court rooms, witness rooms, prosecuting
officials offices and the other departments
of the courts.
This state of affairs has existed for many
years, and it is growing worse annually
The business Of the courts is increasing
and the facilities are steadily falling be-
hind. The building was never even a good
makeshift for court purposes, and today,
with all the money that has been spent
upon it to make 1t comparatively decent
and suitable for the transaction Of bust
ness, it is an abofnination in the eyes Of
progressive, self-respecting citizens. There
should be at once provided in its stead
commodious structure, with well-lighted
and well-ventilated court rooms, good-siZed
witness rooms, cells equipped with facilities
for preventing unspeakable conditions to
exist, conveniently placed and well ar
ranged offices, and, above. all, an interior
court for the reception and delivery of pris-
oners so that the melancholy spectacle Of
men and women passing in for trial or out
for Imprisonment may not be witnessed as
now by crowds of the morbidly curious
Washington has surely progressed beyond
the point where it must continue to endure
an establishment which. in the light of
modern progress and municipal means, is
a discredit to the national capital.

Congress and the Trusts.

The appropriation by the House yester-
day of half million dollars in aid of the
enforcement of the antitrust law was all
very well, but the stump speeches that &C
companied it are not likely to impress the
country seriously. The trusts, at any rate,
can afford to smile.
We are all familiar with the record. The
Sherman law was enacted while General
Harrison was President, and his admins
tration was severely criticised because the
trusts then in existence did not instantly
disappear. 1t was charged that the statute
was a mere bluff; that the party iii power
had no desire. and could not afford, to put
the trusts out of business; that it was
largely indebted to them for favors re-
ceived, and was hoping for a continuation
of them, and so on.
This cry grew in volume, and was heard
in the campaign of 1892. So that, when Mr..
Cleveland was elected, curiosity was aroused
as to what kind of man he would call to
the Office of Attorney General. Some of his
supporters demanded a selection which in
Itself would be a guarantee of an energetic
warfare on the trusts. Mr.. Cleveland ap-
pointed to the office Richard Olney, the
leading corporation lawyer Of New Eng
land, and a man of great ability in his pro-
fession. There was a loud protest from
several quarters, but Mr.. Olney was con-
firmed by the Senate and ent cred upon his
duties. The trusts continued to flourish and
to multiply in number. The Sherman law
under Mr.. Cleveland's administration struck
no more terror to the trusts than 1t had
done under General Harrison's administra-
ton.
Mr.. Mckinley appointed three different
men to the attorney generalship, and the
appointments were all good. Mr.. McKenna
served but a short time, and gave place to
Mr.. Griggs. who, coming from New Jersey,
the home of trusts. met much of the same
criticism that had been leveled at Mr..
Olney. Mr.. Griggs gave place to Mr.. Knox,
who, because of his corporation practice at
Pittsburg. was also vigorously assailed.
Mr.. Knox is still in office, and SO far from
showing a disposition to shirk responsible
ity has made some pointed observations as
to strengthening the law, besides invoking
the law several times as 1t now stands.
Now why, in the face of this record,
should there be any great partisan stir over
the matter? Both parties have failed with
the Sherman law. Why not strengthen it,
then. without more ado, and make common
cause against the trusts? By fighting each
other over the question the two parties play
into the hands Of the trusts.

A Gross Abuse of Trust-Power

Public Indignation is rising against the
Standard Oil Company because of recent
advances in the price of kerosene, for which
there is an increased demand just at pres
ent in substitution for anthracite coal. AS
far as The Star has been able to ascertain
through reportorial inquiry here in Wash
ington, there Is no doubt that the increase
has been caused by the corpora ton itself
merely adding to the wholesale rate. The
only explanation thus far vouchsafed is that
the cost of production Is now somewhat in
creased. In the absence of details and
specifications, which are clearly due to the
public, 1t is safe to disregard this explana-
tion unsa tisfactory. II is impossible to
conceive that 1t costs more to produce oil
because more oil Is produced. Usually the
fule works the other way, Diminishing the
cost as the product Increases. In fact, there
is no known exception to this fundamental
principle in manufacturing, and the only in
stance of a corporation setting up the con-
trary is in the case of the telephone COM
pany which declares that the cost Of the
telephone service increases with increased
use.
There has been no strike at the oil wells,
as one correspondent writing to The Star
today notes. There are no extraordinary
weather conditions causing trouble along
the pipe lines. There have been no losses
by fire. No large wells have been lately
exhausted. On the contrary, additional
wells are constantly being bored and a
short time ago the fact was circulated
without denial that the Standard Oil COM
pany was In some embarrassment because
OF over-productSon, which threatened to
force q diminution Of the price.
The Standard on Company has been

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Washington Evening Star Tuesday
reached the flftieth year OF its existence
and celebrated the event by issuing an
elaborate anniversary number of which its
publishers have a right to be proud. In adj
dition to the usual paper, always brimful
of news, there are several supplements and
a magazine section. which would do credit
to the most ambitious monthly publication.
The Washington Evening Star has always
aimed to be in the van Of afternoon publi-
cations, and today 1t has few, If any su-
periors in that field.

Mr.. Plat of Connecticut.

Mr. Plat of Connecticut is a candidate
for reelection to the Senate. The choice
will be made in January. His return Is as
sured, and his state and the country are to
be congratulated. He is, and has long been.
one of the most useful members of the
upper house of Congress. An excellent law
yer. wise counselor, experienced legfs-
lator, his value in law-making body could
not easily be overestimated. New England
is famous for properly rewarding when
once she secures the services of such a
man. and she has greatly profited in both
houses of Congress by pursuing that policy.
Her own interests are well cared for, and
she lays her sister sections under obliga-
lions. 1t is national service OF the first
order, indeed when any state or section
sends to the national legislature and keeps
in commission men who by their character
and ability illustrate the great possibilities
of free institutions. Mr.. Plat should be
reelected by unanimous vote.

The Coal Miners and the Holidays.

On every account 1t Is to be hoped that
there is no foundation for the published
statement that the coal miners In the an
thracite region propose to knock off, and
cease work for the usual period during the
approaching holiday season. Under ordi-
nary conditions that course would be SUBJ
ject to no criticism; but to do anything cal
culated to reduce the output Of coal at this
time, when the people of half q dozen states
are actually suffering for the want Of this
prime necessity OF life. would be heartless
to the last degree. 1t would show on the
part Of the miners such wanton disregard
for the welfare Of Industrial interests gen.
orally and for the health and lives Of thou
sands of men, women and children, as to
take from these workers In large measure
that public sympathy which they have here
tofore enjoyed In their stragsie for more
inst rslatious with their employer. It =

well enough for men to make merry and
enjoy themselves when to do SO entails no
hardship on others; but this is no time for
holiday junketing or anything of the sort
by mine workers. and If President Mitchell
and the other authorities of their unions
can do anything to induce them to keep
constantly and energetically at work until
the present serious crisis is passed they owe
1t to themselves and to the country to exert
to that end every shred Of their power and
every possible influence at their command.
The situation just now is too grave to JUS
tify any triftng on the part of anybody.

Vanished Impressions.

1 wonder what's become of things
1 used to read about
The gentle bard who lightly sings
Inspires my soul with doubt as
The pleasures of summer day.
Ne'er fell unto my lot;
merely gasped and paused to say
That 1t was very hot.
And when muse on winter rhymes,
OF air so crisp and clear,
OF careless glee and merry chimes
That echo far and near.
I turn amid my shiverings
Once more the bard to fiout,
And wonder what's become of things
I used to read about.
