Evening Star Newspaper, April 23, 1889, Page 4

4 WASHINGTON: HE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published fp Washington. Prohibition by constitutional amendment is overwhelmingly defeated in Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, which is soon to vote upon the question, is likely to decide in the same way. The secret of the series of defeats which prohibi- tion by constitutional amendment has recently suffered is found in the opposition of temper- ance people, who think that the adoption of prohibition as part of the organic act would be followed by the negleg$ and practical nullifica- tion of the law in cit and other localities where public sentiment is os yet op- posed to it, and that all practical means of regulating the liquor traffic in such places would be sacrificed without com- pensating advantages. They adopt the Greek lawgiver’s principle, that the best laws are not the best absolutely or abstractly, but the best that the people can endure. the best that will be enforced. The discussion of the liquor question in Massachusetts has been thorough and instructive, and. asin other states where prohibitory constitutional amendments have been defeated, information concerning the evils of the liquor traffic and the necessity for its strict regulation has been spread broadcast, and the result, it may be hoped, will be the adoption of such practical restrictive measures as local public sentiment will enforce. Every such defeat is, of course. to a certain extent a vietory for the liquor men, who have used the ultra-prohibitionists to defeat high license and the high-license temperance men to defeatcon- stitutional prohibition. But from the indica- tions of various phases of the controversy over the liquor question public opinion seems to be hardening into the definite conviction that for the large cities of the country high license is the most effective temperance measure; but that prohibition is the best in such counties or other limited districts as under a local-option system decide in favor of prohibition, for in them the prohibitory law sustained by local sentiment will be enforced. The happy effects of the local-option system are illustrated in neighboring counties of Maryland which have yoted for prohibition under this system, and which see to it that the law of their own delib- erate choice is obeyed. It turns out that Commissioner Wheatley’s secret examination of selected witnesses in re- spect to the management of the Washington asylum was not the mere preliminary to an open, formal inquiry, but a full-fledged investi- gation, on the strength of which the intendant is found “not guilty” and admonished not to do so any more. Of course the public is not satisfied with such an inquiry which avoids the witnesses who know the most about the charges, which sub- jects to a hostile cross-examipation only those who testify unfavorably to the intendant or matron, and which is avowedly based upon the evidence of persons in the employment of the persons accused, and excludes the evidence of all who are alleged to have been ill-treated. ‘The poverty which sends one to the poor- house is 2 novel ground upon which to pro- nounce a witness mcompetent and unworthy of belief. The intendant himself has reason to be dissatisfied with a decision which dismisses ebarges against him, but tells him hereafter to get better meat and to obey the law in re- spect to the disposal of property. There isa suggestion in this injunction that some of the charges are not to be dismissed. Both the in- tendant and the public must look fora really satisfactory investigation to the new Commis- sioners to be appointed. who will probably not be embarrassed in an open and thorough pro- secution of the inquiry. on The President added no small increase to his personal popularity in Washington yesterday when he ordered out the Marine band to enter- tain the congregation of juvenile egg-rollers gathered on the White House lawn. Between the strains of martial music wafted into their ears, the varied methods of extracting pleasure from many-colored eggs, and the glimpses of Baby McKee on the portico, the little folk had enough enjoyment crowded into one afternoon to last them for a week. oo Since the day they were first laid, the asphalt pavements of Washington have perhaps never been in a worse condition than now. No time should be lost in mending them. The fine grit which the wheels of vehicles grind off the edges of cracks and holes is altogether too attractive to the winds of April, and the street-cleaners never pretend to get itout of the way. Car- riage-springs, too, find the gulleys in the road- beds impossible to escape and dangerous to cross. ——— + Emperor William is agitating for a further restriction of the liberty of the press; he has refused to receive « papal nuncio as a perma- nent guest at his court: and he has forbidden his sister and sister-in-law to buy any part of their wedding trousseaux outside of rmaby, especially condemning the use of French silk aud lace. A ruler who deliberately invites the ill-will of the newspapers, of a powerful church and of the women of his own household must have either an absolute assurance of his ability to take care of himself, or the skin of a rhi- noceros, $< Corporate elections make strange bed-fellows. Col. Daniel 8. Lamont and ex-Senator Thomas ©. Platt have been chosen directors of the Ten- nessee Coal and Railroad company. They will have a fine opportunity. when the board meet- ings are dull, to discuss the character, career and future prospects of Gov. David B. Hill. a personage who bas given them both a good deal to think about in times past. a ‘The Canadians have at last awakened to the necessity of doing something for their own pro- tection against the horde of thieves and black- legs who pour across the border from the United States. Their proud dominion has played at Botany Bay long enough, to the injury of her credit among good people outside of her juris- diction and the demoralization of her native Population. In the absence of an extradition treaty covering this class of offenses, what is to prevent the enactment by Canada of a law to rid her soil of imported criminals, if she is in earnest in desiring to stop the existing prac- tice for her own sake? $+ It is to the credit of Comedian Crane that he has celebrated his retirement from partnership with Mr. Robson by buying two new plays of American life written by American authors, Now if his old associate will do the same, the home market will receive a grateful stimulus, ——<$<<$<— a Everybody was right about the Danmark ex- cept those who feared the worst.
