'- / clry AND DISTRICT. STREET CAK ABUSES. otreatment of Horses and i To the Editor of Tire I desire, tention of the pe which brates = to call the at- city to the way in ted by our nm yourself any ck, on the corner of 1 hour, avenue, exies of t straming, ont load wh. and gi ter packed with a is, in-bumauity. The same thing on the F street Ine. where there is but one wretched horse to do the whole work, except at what they call hilis—there are u) 3 and dow along the entire route—as bad to that animal with aear and thirt Capitol hill to three ho: Taken only fi int this is adiserace and a shame to us. It is a thing which. as a city and a people, we should not tol- erate among us. We should think and act for ourselves. and not wait for Mr. Bergh to tell us that it isa crueity which he can, and will, put astop to, ifwe can not, or will not. So much for the horses—poor creatures, they haunt me at this merry Xmas tide. How they must want to die and be made into glue. Then they could only stick to one thiag at a time, and not fifty or sixty. Now take seriously the other side—the in- side, the people's side of the question. Do you koow, Mr. Editor, of any other country where transportation is attended with so many dis- comforts and horrors ax with us? In London or Paria, where all the seats are taken in an omnibus or street car, no person may get in, thongh he express perfect willingness, to sit in your lap or stand on your toes all the way to his destination. Why should it not be so with us? Why not enact and enforce a law which would be at once protection to man and beast ? The companies would not lose by it in the end. More people woutd ride If they could be secured against collisions, broken toes, dislocated knee Joints. and shower baths of tobacco juice. One would not mind so much if the gentlemen who Indulge in a “fury of expectoration” could only see their way clear. so to speak; but as it is, there isno hope, no escape. The Americans who ride in the cars are the ones who make the lawe—so they say. There has been talk enough of “protection,” Heaven knows. Why not let Us protect our selves here in the District, since We have nothing else fo protect. From a sani- tary point of view alone the thing is wrong. How do we know that the manstanding so near us that his breath is puifed in our faces may not have one of a dozen diseases more easily communicated by that means than any other; that the woman clinging to @ strap over our heads, and brushing the whole length of her garments against us, may not have been dis- charged an hour ago from the small-pox hospi- tal. We are the great unwashed who ride in the cars, and we ought to have all the air possible, whereas, under the present system we get none atall. I repeat, the management of our street cars{s a disgrace to us, and we ought to take Steps to have it altered. Protests from the peo- ple in this country have always done good— they were heard years ago, when it was a ques- tion of a tax on tea: again, when the slave question caine up; and Mr. Cleveland knows that the people have been heard from this year. Let them speak on the street car question and they will be heard again. x Zz ‘The Proposed Evening Schools. Tothe Editor of Tae Evestxe Stan: Under the caption *-Notes on Education,” the New York Tritune of to-day contains the fol- lowing statement: “The night schools ot Cleveland are crowded with eager pupils, all of whom must show that they are employed during the day. A graded high schoo! for more advanced night scholars will soon be opened.” I might mention other cities in which nicht schools are an established and successful fea- ture. In Boston they have attained so great a development that a night hign school is already in very successtal operation. It has surprised me not u little to perceive through communications in Tue Star that there are in this city persons suificiently intelli- gent to write zood English who would like to see the capital of the nation left without night Schools a while longer, if not indefinitely. The reasons offered are (1) that night schools were tried here a zood many years ago and did not succeed. and (2) that as we have nota large Population of operatives like the great manu- facturing cities of the country we do not need ~— schools. in the first of these reasons there would, no doubt, be a good deal of force if the conditions whieh caused the failure of the night schools formerly in operation were still in existence, but there is good ground for beiieving that a mate- rial change has taken place in this respect. Last winter two entiemen, who knew of the exist- ence ofa desire for evening instruction on the part of certain workingmen in the city, visited the Linthicum institute. in Georgetown, in order to see whether the experience of that institution afforded any encourazement for the inangura- tion of a movement in favor of public evening schools. They found the institute well attended, and were informed by the teacher of one depart- ment that when the schoo! term opened the aisles of the school room were crowded with boys and young men anxious to be admitted to seats, and that many had to be turned away after coming a number ot nights in the hope that theymizht be among those fortunate enough to ain admission One reason why evening schools are Iikely to succeed better now than they formerly did is, that the day schools have by this time laid a better foundation for them. It is unfortunately true that those who (measured by their igno- Tance) are most in need of such schools, are often least disposed to avail thems benefits; but many boys and girls who are com- pelled to leave the public day schools, to enzage in some bread-winning occupation, would ea- gerly embrace the opportunity to continue their s. as far as their leisure might permit, in classes. . witha vy if divided in two Every seat, the cen- form and steps densely s. suffering mass of poor e over- yor forty people Anoi changed condition relates to the character of tue evening schools themselves. A nicht school kept up tor only tour months in the year does not give its pupils the opportu- nity to form habits of study, but, on the con- trary, leaves them altogether too liberal an allowance of time for the formation of habits of a different character. Then a night school taught by a jaded day-school teacher could bardiy have been taught with the Spirit re- quired to make it @ lice school, to which pupils would be likely to feel attracted. I have some Teason to believe that If night schools shoald be established now, the enterprise would be under- taken with a more liberal and enlightened con- ception of what night schoels ought to be in order to deserve suce: As to there being no large poputation of ope- Fatives here, that may constitute a reason why ferer night’ schools are needed here than in some other p pt @ reason tor needing none. The n nizht-school opportunities depends on the fact of being employed during the day, not upon the nature of the employment, and there are m: fewer hours. and who would, consequently, have more leisure for the preparation of their night- school lessous than the operatives of our manu- facturing cities.

The very appropriate title of the school, which has been put upon its beautiful banner, which the writer of this note was honored in presenting to one of the classes a few Sabbaths since, is this: “The Gospel Temperance Sabbath School.” The schoo! was first started and first held a few months since in the “old market hall,” a hall fitted and furnished for the express purpose of holding in it temperance meetings. And it may be well tor the moral and Christian Portion of our city to know, that this hall was thus fitted and furnished at’ some considerable expense, and almost wholly by our nobly re- formed temperance men, men who are still ardently working in the ‘great fleld of temper- face, and the whole work of temperance and the shoot that has wh out of it, may be looked upon, in no little di . as attributable to the Influence left behind bim in the name and memory of Bud Eagleston.

REND'S STATEMENT. “The Hocking Valley railroad company, together with the leading coal operators along its line, commenced over six months ago an onslanght of outrageous oppression upon the many thousand tiners employed in the great | central Ohio coal region. The miners com- mitted no offense and were guilty of no wrong. Their wages previous to the reduction offered were scanty enough, and aftorded only the barest subsistence. "To cut down men’s wages who had been earning an averaze of | NOT OVER $30 PER MONTH seemed inhuman and disgraceful, and I de- | nounced it as brataland cowardly to attack | them in the formed belief that they were too weak to offer resistance. A MERCILESS CORPORATION, however, thought otherwise, as it had Interest to earn on watered stocks and inflated bonds. To carrv out this selfish scheme a convention was called last spring in Columbus. In that convention. to which I had an invitation. and was present, I made an earnest protest against the reduction, and condemned what I con- sidered an attempted wrong inthe most em- phatic way.” Col. Rend adds that “something should be done at once to assist these poor people in their deplorable state of want and suffering.” The following-named gentlemen are author- ized to receive contributions: M.

To the Faitor of Tae Evrsine Star: During a recent visit in Battle Creek, Mich., (that active. progressive town, of which it has been said “You cannot turn acorner without running against some Ism,”) I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Frances W. Titus, a noble woman of Quaker descent, whose face reflects | her nobility of soul. Mrs. Titus will be more remembered as the author of that deeply x book, “Narrative of Sojourner Truth, a Bondwoman ot Olden Time,” and she gaye me many incidents of ‘“Sojourner’s” last lays, for she diedin Battle Creek, November 26th, 1883, at an age supposed to be over one hundred years, Thanks to Mrs. Titus and other kind friends, Sojourner’s last days were made comfortable by the proceeds of the sale of the book and the photographs of Sojourner, as Mrs. ‘Titus possesses the negatives and they are copy- righted. Mrs. Titus gave me a copy of the last photo, taken a year or so before her death, and one feels inclined to believe she must have dis- covered that “Fountain” for which ‘De Soto” and his followers so vainly sought, for her bright eye shows no signs of age, and when you hear her once defective sight returned and remained with her during her life, and her gray hair was supplemented by a thick growth of black, you feel sure she must have found it. Mrs. Titus intends writing a magazine article entitled “The Truth About Sojourner Truth,” for said Mrs. Titus so much has been written that is not true I want toset her right. Mrs. Titus intendsto have it illustrated by competent artists, and it no- doubt will be very interesting. Said Mrs. Titus to me, “Sojourner is gone, but my work for her is not yet finished. as there must be a stone to mark her grave, for’tis a grave which will be sought for in times to come more than now.” No one can read the “ Narrative” without teel- ing that Sojourner was a remarkable woman, one who lived on a higher plane of trust in God than is possible to most mortals. What could be more convincing of that than her ac- count of the sending away of her little boy to Alabama, by a former mistress, to be a slave to a daughter lately married? (The slayes had been emancipated in New York at that time, and it was an illegal proceeding.) Said So- Journer, “I tell you I stretched up; I felt as tall as the world. and said, * Missis, I'll have my boy back again.’ Missis said. *How will you do it? You have no money.’ ‘No, missis, but God has, and you'll see that he'll help me.'” And, said | Sojourner. “0, but I was angry to have her speak so haughty and scornful, as if my child wa'nt worth anything. TI said to God, ‘0, Lord, render unto her double.’ It was a dreadful rayer, and I did not know how soon it would answered ;” and shortly after. when word came that the daughter had been murdered by a drunken husband, Sojourner said: ‘0, Lord, I did not mean all that; you took me up too quick.” But she snowed her forgiving heart by caring | for her broken-hearted mistress, who died in | herarms. I told Mrs. Titus it seemed to me the placing of a stone over the grand old woman should be the work of ner own people, for they may well feel a pride and ownership in Sojourner; | and how easily it could be done. If they would | all give even one penny, it would make enough to place a suitable stone on the grave. ‘ Fred- erick Douglass” spoke to the people of Battle Creek Ist of August last, and he knows how whole-heartedly they greeted him there; and if \he or some one of their representative men would start the movement, it would grow as fast as a snowball when once you start {t rolling.

The author, J. Ranken ‘Towse, deserves a unanimous vote of thanks for the many “open” truths presented in describing the “star” system, which has for along period ruled supreme in the management of our thea- ters, and most thoroughly explains why drama- tie art languishes. The writer's graphic deserip- | tion of the “two-penny talent” of the many who style themselves “stars;” thelr voracity, and “their demand for their services eeems so exor- bitant that the manager can only make a profit by reducingal! other expenses almost to a point ofzero;” fees so exorbitant that nothing remains to pay competent stock actors, decent scenery, or anything else. This article in the Century suggests another improvement demanded from the patrons of the- aters, aud that is justice and a proper amount of applause giving stock actors deserving it, and not exclusively to the so-called “stars.” Another writer speaking of the too common practice of indifference to deserving merit, says: “It is 3 frequent remark of foreigners that the audiences of our theaters display a strange coldness even during the progress of some of the best exhibitions of theatrical talent unless it proceeds from the one single orbit—the star actor.” The remark istoo trae. Our people area calculating, meditative race, guided by maxims and rules to a considerable extent, and have, even in our amusements, allowed our general habits to govern our actions, and made us indifferent to do justice to many of the ex- cellent performances which we witness in our best theaters. These maxims and rules pro- claim that we must not extend applause to an actor unless fashion Sanctions, or the general sentiment sustains such an act. Hence, our “stock actors” become tame and frigid after being on the stage a few years, they fall, not on account of any want of zeal or k thelr profession, but because that stimulns, applause, Is denied them; a stimulus which ought to be as lavishly bestowed as good taste will permit. We are, Inanitestly, says another writer, “unjust to a larve class of our actors when we take our place betore them, with the interence Indicated in our habits that we expect them to play to the extent of their powers with- fence any Geom eal Us.

A Bad Season in the Amusement World—How Financial Stringency Affects the ‘High Prices and Low Prices—Government Em- ployes Hetrenching, &c. “This has been the hardest season on amuse- ments yet,” said Mr. Bixby, one of the Madison Square managers, to a Srar reporter, “and the worst is yetto come. The theater is the first to feet a stringency of money. When compelled to retrench people begin by cutting off their amusements. Now it is not the wealthy who patronize and support theaters. It is the mid- dle and working classes, if I may be permitted | to use such a distinction to convey my meaning. | The social demands upon the wealthy in their | almost endiess round of receptions, musicales, etc., no doubt prevent many from going to the theater, and then there isa feeling of exclusive- ness among monied peop! ops them away from any place whic ble to the masses. Now, | never saw that fee illustrated than at Coney Island last summer. Lulu Hirst play: izht in one of t amusement halls to $300. The price of ad sion was 75 cents. A week later she performed in the Casino at an admission of #1.50 to over 2800. Now the society people turned out in force to the last performance, because the price of tickets was high enough to exciude the general mass of people. A good many theatrical com- binations have been financially wrecked this season, and a similar fate is in store fora good many more. But all this talk about cheaper prices of admission to first-class thea- ters is based upon alack of knowledge of what it costs to give the public the class of amuse- ments it demands. Popular taste insists upon the best and upon having plays put on in the most expensive and attractive manner. It is simply impossible for a manager to maintain a first-class theater and present the class of amuse- ments the public wants at a less rate of charges for adinission than now prevail. “Have you observed any failing off among government officials as patrons of the theater?” asked the reporter ot Manager Kinsley, who was present. “Indeed, I have,” he replied. “We see It here every day. Men who formerly came to the box office and threw down a Dill, calling for the best seats, now slip up quietly, avoiding ob- servation, and whisper ‘up-stair: ‘They take their tickets and glide up stairs as if trying to escape the eyes of friends and associates.

Mr. Webster, no doubt, had the best com- mand of languages of any American author prior to our day. Those who have read his ponderous but rather connected romance known as “Webster's Unabridged Dictionary; or, How One Word Led On to Another,” will agree with me that he was smart. Noah never lacked for a word by which to express himself. He was a brainy man and a good speller. It would ill become me at this late day to criticise Mr. Webster's great work—a work that is now in almost every library, school- room, andcounting-room in the land. It is a great book. Tonly hope that had Mr. Webster lived he would have been equally fair in his criticism of my books, Uhate to compare my own books with those of Mr. Webster, because it may seem ezotig- tical in me to point out the good points in my literary labors; but Ihave often heara it said, and so do not state it golely upon my own re- sponsibility, that Mr. Webster's books do not retain the interest of the reader all the way through. He has tried to introduce too many charac- ters, and so we cannot follow them all the way shrough. It is good book to pick uy and while away an idle hour with, perhap: one would cling to it at night till the fire went out, chained to the thrilling plot and the glow- ing career of its hero. Therein consists the great difference between ir. Webster and myself. A friend of mine at ng Sing once wrote me that from the moment he got hold of my book he never left his room until he finished it. He seemed chained to the spot, he said, and if you can’t beli a convict, who is entirely out of politics, who in the name of George Washington can you believe? Mr. Webster was most assuredly a_ brilliant writer, and I have discovered in his later edi- tions 118,000 words, no two of which are alike. This shows great fluency and versat true, but we need somethin: és reader waits in vain to be thrilled by the author's won- derful word-painting. There is not a thrill in the whole tome. I had heard go much of Mr. Webster that when I read his book I confess I was disappointed. It is cold, methodical and dispassionate in the extreme. As I said. however, it is a good book to pick up for the purpose of whiling away an idle mo- ment, and noone should start out on a long journey without Mr. Webster's tale in his pocket. It has broken the monotony of many a tedious trip for me. | Mr. Webster's ‘Speller” was a work of less | pretensions, perhaps, and yet it had an immense sale. Eight years ago this book had reached a sale of 40.000,000, and yet it had the same grave defect, It was disconnected, cold, prosy and dull. Tread it for years, and at last became a close student of Mr. Webster's style; yet I never found but one thing in this book, for which there seems to have been such a perfect stam- pede, that was even ordinarily interesting; and that was a little gem. It was so thrilling in its details, and so diametrically different from Mr. Webster's style, that Ihave often wondered who he got to write it for him. It related to the dis- covery of a boy by an elderly gentleman in the crotch of an ancestral apple tree. and the feel- ing ot bitterness and animosity that sprang up at that time between the boy and the elderly gentleman, Thouzh I have been a close student of Mr. Webster for years, I am tree to say, and I do not wish to do ab injustice to a ureat ‘man in doing 80, that his ideas of literature and my own are entirely dissimilar. Possibly his book has a larger sale than mine, but that makes no differ- ence. When I write a book it must engage the interest of the readers and show some plot to it. It must not be jerky in its style and scattering in its statements. I know it is a great temptation to write a book that will sell, but we should have a higher ob- ject than that. I do not wish to do an injustice to a man whd has done so much for the world, and one who could spell the longest word without hesitation; but 1 speak of these things Just as I would ex pect people to criticise my work. If we aspire to monkey with the literati of our day we must expect to be criticised. That’s the way at it. BILL Ny P. S.—I might also state that Noah Webster Was a member of the legislature of Massachu- setts at one time, and, though I ought not to throw it up to him at this date. I think it noth- ing more than right that the public should know the truth. He Had Made the Round Trip. From the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press, “I have taken my last order.

The story of the Washington Literary Man and the ‘Iwo Congressmen is a melancholy one, but it is yerhaps better to tell it in the “Joyous Christmatide” than it would be to tell it in a season ofgloom and plumbers’ bills. It isalged that there recently appeared in the Congassional Record two speeches, one pur- porting t» be the speech of Congressman X and the otherthe speech of Congressman Y. What was pecular in regard to these two speeches was thatthey were identical. Congressman X appeared to have made preciseiy the same speech ar that made by Congressman Y, and neither dstinguished legislator gave the least credit tothe other. The exilanation of this phenomenon was sim- ple, yet jpwerftl. It is said that a Washington literary nan wrote a speech for Congressman X, who, afte accepting the speech, declined to pay the author the full price demanded for it. ‘Thereupot the literary man, who had retained & copy of the speech, sold it to Congressman Y, and both Congressmen, having obtained teave to print tleir speeches, were horritled at finding that each aad, by an unaccountable coincidence, printed the same speech. OF the wickedness of the literary man there can be noguestion. He 4s guilty of having tri- fled with the holiest feelings of two eminent statesmer, and of placing them in a position which they will have to spend the remainder of their lives in explaining. Moreover, the literary man was guilty of dishonesty. He obtained two price for one speech, which was extortion- ate and morally, if not legally, dishonest. What a contrag to this man was afforded by the noble South Cirolina colored minister who told his congregation that selling their yotes for $25 was wrong, aad that “ten dollars was all any man’s vote wasworth!” No man who reads the speech of the two Congressmen can honestly say that it was wath the $50 which the literary man is said to have charged Congressman X. “Had the literary wan charged only $15 for it, and had he sold it orly once, he would now be enjoying the comfort ef an approving conscience, instead of knowingin the depths of his heart that he has committed a dishonest act. The tvo Congressmen are now strong oppo- nents of the system which permits the printing of speeches that have not been delivered in the House, snd claim that itis a system essentially dishones; and fruitful ot abuses. Congressman X goes still further and thinks that no states- man should be required to pay for his speech until ten days after it has been delivered and printed in the Record, thus rendering it impos- sible fora literary man to sell the same speech to two legislators. This is certainly a good ane ne if Md., a great revival is in {would have had the courage to | From the suggestion, and it might be amended by the cir- culation among statesmen of a pledge binding the signers to give no more employment to the literary man in question, and to deal only with certain specified speech writers of known honesty and delicacy. + ____ wi the Reporter Needed. ‘From the Arkansaw Traveller. . “vou wil doubtless be a great news- paper man some day, but at present you write too plainly.

From the Sacramento (Cal.) Record-Union. No more incisive, or more timely, literary | critism has been recently made than that by Joel Chandler Harris in his paper in the Current on the ‘American Type,” wherein he declares that the American character is seen and known at its best in the rural regions; but it is a fatal weakness of American literature that our aovel- ists and story-writers can perceive ouly the comic side of what they are pleased to term cial life,” for it is always a fatal weak- ness to see what is to be seen.

He usually dealt with one hand, with scarcely a perceptible | movement of the arm, his long, muscular fingers enabling himto throw each card to_ its proper place. player. Like most fntellectual men ne played for the excitement. not for gain, andas a rule he was so careless about his bets that he came out loser. He hada passion for big bets, and he rarely failed to straddle the blind or raise the bet after the game got fairly started. So, if the luck came his way, he would win heavily as long as it lasted. But he was a great blutfer, and bet high whether he had the cards or not. The men he played with found this out, of course, and he never came out of a prolonged game without being fleeced. “For nearly two hours that night Clay had everything his own way with Bright. It he didn’t hold a king-full tour times hand ranning, followed by a jack-full, then I hope I may be shot for lying. Bright tried his best to catch Clay in a bluf, but it was nouse. Clay came to the front every time with a hand that nothing but fours couldphase. At 10:30 Bright had lost $1,500, and had borrowed $500 from John Han- cock. ' Atter that Clay’s luck deserted him, but he failed to recognize it. He continued to bet: as high on a pair of deuces ashe had been bet- ting on an ace-tull. By midnight he had lost all his winnings and $1,000 besides, all the cash he had with him. ““T guess we'd better quit," said Bright, ‘as you want to go to church to-morrow. “*Oh! biow the church,’ replied Clay; ‘do you suppose I want to hear a man preach right on top of losing $1,000 at poker? Notmuch. You Just lend me $500 and let the game go on.” “So the game proceeded, and at daylight Clay was indebted to Bright to the amount of $1,500. aud that _is the way it stood when the game ended. Iheard afterward from Hancock that Clay liquidated that debt by giving Bright a deed of 320 acres of Kentucky land and trans- fetes to him six shares of stock in a Louisville yank.” “So Clay didn’t go to church that morning?” the Old-Timer was asked. “Well, I was just going to tell you abont that, Iam not responsible tor the story, as I was not there and have no peptone knowledge of it.
