THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDVESDAY Apri 24, 1589, CROSBY s. NOES. “THE EVENING STAR has the fallest Local Cireviation of any Newspaper in the Werid. and as an Advertising Me more than all the other papers published in Washington. Editor, The Oklahoma of the present is a place Where ove fights for his land and buys his water. Well populated towns are springing up on sites which are paved thickly with conflict- ing claims, promising a rich harvest for real estate lawyers. By wee has been had to the rifle as the umpire between land-claimants, and deaths have resulted, but not so far to such an extent as the numbers, passions and arsenal- bearing characteristics of the in-rushing mul- titude had suggested as probable. While the wonderful process of instantaneous state-mak- {ing is going on. contention, litigation and snf- fering may be expected as inseparable accom- paniments. In the end « progressive American community will develop to take its place by the Bide of its sister states. The rush for Okla- homa indicates that the area of unoccupied public land in the west has been reduced to very small proportions. Only a few such vents to superfluous Americ: y as that fur- ished by Oklabama are or can be available. But there is a vast expanse of land in the west the title to which is in the original grantees of the government, and which can be cheaply bought without the inconveniences attending the procurement of title from the United States. There are also great stretches of good and cheap lands in the southeast quarter of the republic. In spite of the threatening sug- gestions of the Oklahoma scramble the people of the United States are not in any immediate Ganger of being overcrowded. $a Sir Julian Pauncefote has shown his diplo- Matic quality at the outset of his career in the Tnited States by his treatment of the presa. It must seem odd tothe Englishman of any note, who at home is left undisturbed by the reporters, except when he chooses to place himself at the public's disposal. that the instant he reaches American shores he is pounced upon by agroup of young men with pads and pen- cils in hand, who want him to state his impres- sions of the country, the people, and eve thing else. Very often the young men meet with a rebuff, finding their victim a most un- sociable creature. At other times they are astonished to hear only criticisms upon the erudities of our civilization. the newness and veneer which strike him unfavorably at every turn. They faithfully set down all that is told them and all that is refused as well, and their readers form an opinion of the newcomer as without ideas because he is taciturn or sour- minded because he has reached his disagreeable conclusions so promptly. The first interviews are, therefore,a rather trying ordeal to the visitor. The new British minister has run the Gauntlet successfully. a A hundred years makes a great difference in the way of doing tl in a fast-moving coun- try. The people of Elizabeth, N. J., are in the midst of a celebration of the hundredth anni- versary of Washin through that on’s pa city on the way to New York tobe inaugurated. Washington passed through in a coach, in the course of a long and tedious journey. A Pres- ident-elect now- ys. if he has occasion to visit New York « by way of New Jersey, passes through Elizabeth on a vestibule train, and occupies the brief wait in getting his over- coat, umbrella and grip-sack down from the racks and into the hands of the porter for dust- ing. preparatory to disembarkation a few min- utes later at Jersey € and the only people who make any great fuss over him are a few applicants for office, who bring a brass band br a small cannon down to the depot and have hardly time to wake the echoes before their man is off again. SE The New York aldermen have voted down Jay Gould's scheme for taking more of the public park land for a loop for his elevated rail- way.. The spectacle of Hugh Grant in the ‘or's chair. Juehne in a striped suit at Sing Bing; the spring grass growing over “Ja Sharp’s grave. and a very large and choice lection of ex-New Yorkers in Canada, has pro- duced an effect upon the mind of even the Jeast sensitive to such a suggestion of the city fathers. 1- ——— += Human nature shows itself its true colors in situations like that of the Oklahoma settle- Inent, and the American human nature is pro- verbially gallant where the rights and privileges of the gentler sex are concerned. In the midst of all the excitement incidental to entering and locating claims, two young women drove into the new territory in a buggy, drawn by a sorrel mule, and with a tent dangling behind. ‘Their destination was King Fisher, and when they got there they staked out a cla: The men made way for them, and their claim is proba- bly the least liable to dispute in the territory. ~ ——- A perusalof Commissioner Wheatley’s exami- Bation of selected witnesses in the alleged in- vestigation of the management of the Wash- ington asylum is commended to every one who can secure a co; As a maste exhibition of “How not to do it.” it beats all the records, Even the so-called investigation of school-site purchases is distanced. Com- amissioner Wheatley is wnquestionsbly entitled to the leather medal as champion non-investi- gator and official calcimine and amusing The London Spectator, which never neglects Qn opportunity of saying something savage of America and Americans, says of Patrick Egan’s appointment as minister to Chili: “It is an unusual thing to scle an envoy a man who proudly acknowledges himself a fanatic and Fevolutionist.” As to fanatics, this is possibly true, for few persons who feel strongly on an: subject are willing to confess their interest a form of fanaticism; but as to revolutionists— well, we made the beginning a good while ®g0, with Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, ‘Thomas Jefferson and John Jay, whose revo- Jutionary tendencies nobody would venture to question, Certainly nobody in England then #elt inclined to object to the gentlemen on account of their political antecedents, and the time may yet come when even the Spectator will grant a reluctant respect to the men who have helped to fre Ireland, whether they appear in a diplomatic or any other capacity. —$—$——_—.—er Washington will secure an unenviable repu- (ation for murder mysteries if additional records like those in the Juenemann and Riley eases are tobe made. The local Vidocqs and Gaboriaus are furnished with « most promising field of operation in these two cases, in one of Which o railroad train is suspected of jumping upon and pounding and cutting a man to death, and in the other of which the pneumonia is sus pected of cutting a man’s throat and of throw~ Ing the body in a ditch. $< re ___ The brief of Pope Leo, establishing the Roman Catholic university at Washington, for- bids “the founding of any other such inistitu- tion without cousulting the Apostolic See.” The capital is to enj monopoly as the great educational center in America for Roman Catholics, who show a proper appreciation, @hich deserves to be imitated by others, of the advantages of Washington, in this regard. oo & No city in the world is so thoroughly Covered by the circulation of a single news- = as is the city of Washington by that of Evusrxo Star.
