Evening Star Newspaper, December 26, 1888, Page 4

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: ‘WEDNESDAY CROSBY 5. NOYES. THE EVENING STAM has the fullest Local Cireviation of any Newspaper in the World, and as am Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. The marriage of Washington and Georgetown cannot be legally solemnized too soon. Con- gress ought, as promptly as possible, to con- solidate the two cities. The evils, inconveni- ences and absurdities of a diversity in the laws regulating the conduct of citizens on the oppo- site sides of Rock creek have been frequentiy noted. But in addition to bringing all parts of the District under a uniform and modern code of laws, all provisions or words in existing law which indicate that Georgetown is not a part of the national capital should be altered. Georgetown is now a suburb of the capital and should be legally recognized as a part of Washington, even though the local designation be retained as the name of a dis- trict or section of the capital. The same laws should prevail on both sides of Rock creek, the inconvenience of a separate system of number- ing for the houses on the west side of that stream should not be compelled, and the capi- tal should not be cheated in the next census out of counting in its pc, alation the people who live in Georgetown. The proposal for diverting Rock creek through a tunnel sug- gests that the topographical dividing line be- tween the cities may vanish in the future, and the irresistible tendency isto unify them in all respects. To undo what has been done in consolidating the two sections of the capital by a rigid interpretation of the law will be very injurious to both communities, and before that event happens Congress should change the‘law. To prevent an apparent decrease in the population of the capital or a notable ap- parent reduction in its percentage of increase this action should be had at last before the census of 1890 is taken. ~ — Yesterday's dispatches present the sharp con- trasts which are customary in a record of the events of the American Christmas. The merry-making of hundreds of thousands of happy, well-clothed and well-fed children in every quarter of the land breathes its joyful spirit into columns of this record; and, while the Christmas bells are still ringing, a child, the representative of countless others in our great cities, dies of exposure in the streets of New York, receiving as its only epitaph the printed lines of the newspaper record which tell its fate. From the multitude of happy homes in which the strong foundations of the republic are planted the day brings assurance of domestic joys, of innocent good-fellowship, of beneficence as well as benevolence. From another class, the dwellers in the slums, the miserable victims of hunger and vice, comes a wail. Their Christmas pleasure has been to madden themselves with drink and to wound or kill their neighbor. The faithful record is blood-stained with Christmas murders. Thus, recitals of comfort and starvation. beneficence and murder round out the day's story. It is to be remembered, however, that the evil receives more than its due prominence in the newspaper record; that bad-will towards men, culminating in violence and crime, forces itself. or is forced, upon the attention of the startled and curious public; while in thousands of the most admirable acts of good will to- wards men the left hand knows not what the right hand doeth. The good is the commonplace, the matter-of-ccurse, to be as- sumed, not to be dwelt upon in print. The bad is the exception. the unusual, demanding much space and numerous headlines. Unless this theory be adopted, the story of Christmas as told by the newspapers would furnish gloomy encouragement to the pessimist, and dishearten every one else. ee Mme. Bernhagdt has declined an offer of $4,600 from the sulten for a single perform- ance in his palace at Constantinople. The di- vine Sarah has no notion of being whisked off toaharem at the end of the third act, and there immured, like another celebrated actress, for the rest of her natural life. Besides, if the sultan is bound to see her, why should he not come where she is, instead of requiring her to seek him? The queen of Sheba, it is true, journeyed a long distance for the privilege of tallting face to face with Solomon; but times hav- changed since then, and Sarah Bernhardt plays to more royalties in the boxes ip one sea- son in Paris than Constantinople sees in its streets in twenty years. —— Colonel Eliot F. Shepard has succeeded in his Sabbatarian design of stopping the run- ning of the 5th avenue omnibuses in New York city on the first day of the week. Here- after, church-goers who live on the line of these vehicles may walk to their respective houses of worship, rain or shine—unless like Colonel Shepard they are able to afford a —— + Nothing more suggestive of the condition of things in New York city politics has been wit- nessed for a long time than the Christmas presentations yesterday in the office of Sheriff Grant, where richly-jeweled rings, cuff-buttons and lockets were the order of the day. ————— The fire fiend and the angel of death have, between them, had a merry Christmas this season, if never before. The burning of the steamer Kate Adams on the Mississippi, of the John H. Hanna on the same river, of the Lief Erickson on Puget Sound; the destruction of buildings covering some seven acres in the heart of Cincinnati, and the whole of the business center of Marblehead by fire, and the fatal crash on the Louisville and Nashville railway, have added about eighty names to the cata- logue of victims of accidental violence within ‘the last three days. Fires on the water, con- suming steamers and burning passengers, have been the characteristic disasters of the season. But fires on the land have not been wanting. Christmas day of 1888 has made a Fourth of July record in this respect. —$— Whatever else the recent change in the road may indicate Washington hopes that it does not mean any departure from the policy of double-tracking the Metropolitan Branch and of building up in every way suburban Washington by ‘ing the road's equip- ment and by increasing the accommodations for the local travel; or any repudiation of the retiring president's suggestion of an improve- ment of the condition of the part cf the city whose growth is obstructed by the #urface tracks of the road, and of a future removal of these surface tracks. oo The great exposition building at St. Louis was utilized yesterday in a substantial way for the entertainment of fifteen thousand poor children with a Christmas treat. Washington has ouly a fraction of that number of ehildren poor enough to receive a treat from public charity, but it has no hall capable of accommo- dating comfortably and well those whom it does entertain. St. Louis uses her exposition hall for great fairs when they are wanted. for national conventions when they are in season, and for charitable exercises in their turn. This shows that it is no narrow agwantage which the friends of the assembly hall pro- ject in this city claim for their scheme, oe Every o ne speaks for this Christmas weather on inauguration day. If public opinion is at all considered the weather bureau will see to it that no reaction from the present sunny, smiling mood of the weather displays itself on the 4th of March. $e ‘The Christmas razor and the Christmas brick failed to kill in Washington this year, and the customary homicide of the day is wanting.
