eC THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO)D January 1, 1889. ‘THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the ether papers published Im Washington. The world has wagged with a reasonably even motion in 1888. Its crust was disturbed by the great earthquake in China and by vol- eanic disturbances in Japan. Floods in China, Germany and along the Monongahela in America destroyed property and life. Four severe storms—blizzards or cyclones—brought Joss of property, suffering and death to the Various sections of the United States. But on the whole nature has not been unusually rest- Jess, War, famine and pestilence have been infrequent visitors, Small forces of men have come into collision in Hayti and Samoa, in South Africa, on the coast of the Red sea, and on the Chesa- peake bay. Not war itself but the rumors of war have kept Europe op- Pressed with military taxation, expensive standing armies, and vast preparations for threatened hostilities. In America real peace has been enjoyed, and its afiliction has come in the shape of the yellow fever epidemic in the gulf states. The struggle over the government of Ireland has largely absorbed British political attention. ‘The lines of the contest are sharply drawn. ‘The drift of opinion, as indicated by the by- elections, is in the direction of magnanimity toward Ireland, but of the mainstays of the home-rule movement Gladstone is old, Par- nell feeble. Time fights for the conservatives in one way, while weakening them in another. Events in France during the year have tended toward a great and decisive struggle between the republic and a military dictatorship, with General Boulanger as the controlling power, by whatever name his office may be called. ‘The indications preliminary to the actual and final contest have favored Boulanger. Germany has suffered the loss of two empe- Tors, but retains the predominating influence of Bismarck. War preparations and peace talk have characterized the policy of the year. Denied war and fears of war, the United States have found excitement in a great politi- cal struggle, which, by its results, checks for the time a united and determined assault of the democratic party upon the protective tariff. The fisheries and extradition treaties and the Sackville-Murchison episode have made rela- tions with Great Britain the most interesting of our foreign affairs, In the states move- ments in opposition to saloon influence and toward practical temperance, whether by high-license, local option or prohibitive meas- ures, have been notable. Efforts have also been made, by various plans of ballot-reform, to purify elections. Notwithstanding the draw- back of an exciting national political campaign, with the general discussion of tariff changes, the storms of the year, the railway strikes, and the interference by yellow fever to activity in the south, the business of the year has been of extraordinary volume. On the whole, and comparatively speaking, the republic's lot has been a happy one. Sunn If the protesting, non-dancing clergymen de- sire merely to prevent dancing at the inaugu- ral “ball,” they can accomplish this end much more easily and gracefully than by demanding that the President-elect violate the established Social customs of the capital and affront his voluntary entertainers by absenting himself from the great popular reception to the people who have elected him, which Washington pro- vides, and which other Presidents of reasona- bly tender conscience have unhesitatingly hon- ored by their presence. Let these gen- tlemen and those who sympathize with them subscribe to the inaugural fund or buy tickets to the “ball.” thus securing the Tight to grumble at the proposed entertain- ‘ment, and then let them crowd to the “ball” in such numbers that the floor will be occu- pied, and dancing become impossible. Some such condition of affairs is likely to be exper- ienced even in the absence of the protesters. ‘The mass of persons present will not think of dancing, even if the temporary vacancy of a few feet of floor offers the opportunity. The center of attraction will be the receiving President. If, however, enthusiastic per- sons among the young people pres- ent disregard the jam in devotion to Terpsi- ehore, the protesters may be sure that they do not yield for the first time to dancing tempta- tion, but are confirmed and irreclaimable dancers who would be as liable to keep time to the music if the occasion were called a recep- tion instead of a ball, and whose reformation by long-range expostulation from Indianapolis is hopeless. These critics of the customary celebration of the incoming of a new Presi- dent are fighting a name, not a thing. The agitation is case of much ado about nothing. A-orrespondent in another column shows how to suppress the dodger nuisance by boy- cotting the dealers who create it. He makes it arule never to buy an article of thet. It isa matter of surprise to hear that the authorities allow the evasion of the rule against the nui- sance by permitting the perpetrators to hand the dodgers to people. This, as pointed out, authorizes the dodger distriputor to ring door bells and compel housekeepers to leave their work to answer the impudent summons. When the dodgers are handed to people on the street they are almost invariably thrown away by the recipients, and are tossed about by the winds to litter the pavements and frighten horses. No tolerance should be given to the evil in any form. ——— ‘The weather of to-day is almost an exact Feproduction of tae weather of January Ist, 1886, the first New Year's day passed by Presi- Gent Cleveland in the White House. It was ‘then set down to the credit of the all-pervasive “Grover’s lack.” From the popular point of Yiew, that luck appears to have failed last fall, Bat it bobs up again for the last great recep- tion by broad daylight; and all that is needed to keep its memory green with Washington is to have the 4th of March, 1889, Mr. Cleveland's parting day, as lovely as the 4th of Mareh, 1886, which saw him ushered into office, and became celebrated among inauguration days for the auspicious brilliancy of its sunshine and the perfection of its temperature. The review of the local events of 1888, printed elsewhere in Tux Star, chronicles many hap- penings which, though of the past, point with © prectical and useful suggestivences to the future, and condenses for convenient reference many notable matters of interest to the people of Washington which are not summarized in any other annual statement The year has been a prosperous one both for the readers of Tux Stax, to wit, the people of the District of Columbia, and for Tux Stan itself. May the Rew year, which we celebrate to-day, be equally Prosperous, and be fallowed by many happy oo The commercial agency reports show the Outgoing year to have been not exceptionally Prosperous in this country, but a marked im- were less by at least ten million, and the pro- Portion of assets to liabilities greater by some three per cent. Indeed, measured by the losses suffered by investors in mercantile en- terprises, 1888 may be said to show a better tecord than any year since 1885.
