4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ‘TUESDAY THE EVENING STAR has the fallest Local Clreslation of any Newspaper in the Werld, When the greatest of empires that ever ex- isted paralyzed individual effort by largemes from the treasury it was not long before the end came. Individual enterprise is the might- fest factor of society. When the Farmers’ Alli- ance fathered the subtreasury Dill it took one step toward the distribution by the government of money and food among the people. At the time when the Roman emperor scattered favors on the highways the spirit of the Romans had been broken; the repnblic had departed; decay bad set in, and ruin was not far away. When the democratic republic of the United States adopts the principle underlying the subtreasury plan the ax will have been laid by the people themselves at the root of the tree of liberty. Bat there is a difference between the Roman conqueror and the Anglo-American citizen. ‘The former subdued the world to civilize it on the Roman plun and perished with the excess ef such civilization; the latter would conquer the world by his free spirit of inquiry, his arts of peace, the rationality and beneficence of his civilization. The intelligent American citizen ‘sees, if he gets out of the shackles of prejudice, that no scheme of converting the government into @ warehouse agent and money brokers’ Office is practicable. He will reject the sub- treasury proposition as be has rejected the wild theories of finance that have’preceded it. ‘The republic bas come to stay, because the ro- public is founded upon the intelligence, the virtue, the manhood of the American people, who will not look to government for things which they can expediently do themselves as individuals. —— Whether the death of Sitting Bull opens a ‘new Sioux war or brings to a close the danger of such a contlict remains to be seen. He was the most crafty. ill-disposed and dangerous of all the wild Indians, and while his influence was not perbaps altogether so great as it was at the time he figured in the Rose Bud affair, ending im the death of Custer, still it was nevertheless extensive. He was at the time of his “taking off” believed to be on the eve of his departare to the hostiles’ camp in the Bad Lands, If the redskins indulge in the narrow but natural spirit of revenge and go to war with the United States. the preparations made by the War De- partment to meet the emergency are ample for the occasion. The misgnided Sioux will suffer, although they may make much mischief on the border before they snecumb. Respecting Sit- ting Bull the repubiie from end to end bears with extreme satisfaction the news of bis death under the apparently justifying circamstances. The public bave long believed that he was the assassin of the brave Custer. Even if le did not himself «lay Custer, after having ambushed and overpowered him, he was at least responsi- ble for the massacre at Rose Bud. No matter what indixidual opinion may be as to the cause of Indian outbreaks everybody feels re~ lief to hear that the sullen. suspicious and bru- tal savage, who has so long been the terror of the frontier, bas ceased to threaten the settler. +s Senators in debate the other day agreed that the District is under a “despotism,” but there was no concurrence of opinion as to the de- merits of a tyranny or as to who is the despot. It was suggested. however, that the Engineer Commissioner, exercising one-third of the insig- nificant, specially delegated legislative power conferred upon the Commissioners was from his military training especially to be dreaded as an actual or prospective enslaver of the peo- ple. But the real local despot, overshadowing all others, is evidently the Pennsylvania rail- oad. Congress has the power of exclusive leg- islation in the District and the railroad domi- nates Congress. Thus the railroad is Despot (with a» big, big D); Con- gress is §= sub-Despot, always talking loudly of revolt against ite lord and master, but obeying its commands promptly when the time for action comes; the Commissioners are sub-sub-Despots, with limited opportunities of playing the tyrant; and next to the ground, crawling Lilliputian-like between the fect of their ascending series of rulers, are the people of the District of Columbia. +22 —____ That Senator Quay should break from his party on the elections bill would not be in itself a matter of reproach. For “he now has good republican company in this course, ir the shape of Senators who believe sincerely anu probably with good reason that radical legislation of this character at this time would injure both the party and the republic. But when the motive of a disregard of party discipline is purely selfish, and involves the placing of the dictates of a corporation above the commands of party, then the case is differ- ent. The showing in another column in re- spect to the Pennsylvania railroad’s masterly campaign in bebialf of the Atkinson bill, and the part played in it by Senator Quay makes very interesting reading. — By its refusal yesterday to pass a vill appro- Pristing $100,000 for the erection of a monu- ment in Brooklyn to the memory of certain revolutionary soldiers, Congress has saved to the country sowething in the neighborhood of one million dollars on the original proposition. ‘The bill was introduced ninety-seven years ago, and €100,000 at 6 per cent compound in- terest for that time is nearly» million. New York is saving enough each year in this man- ner on the Grant monument fund to have plenty in ninety-seven years to erect & monu- ment at Stableside-on-the-Hndson. Governor-elect Jas. E. Boyd of Nebraska is in a dilemma with a big d. He has been elected governor and he is nota naturalized citizen, having come to Zanesville, Ohio, from Ireland With his father, Joseph Boyd, at fifteen years of age, and his father failing to take out his final naturalization papers until 1890. The young man never thooght of naturalizing either in Obio or later in Nebraska, and now some hindly disposed person is making it pleas ant for him. = eo _ According to the census enumeration Senstor- eect Brice of Obio ia a resident of New York city. Of course the Senator will contend that ‘this is utterly wrong and that the count is a re- publican sham, bat New York will have to take the otber side, because she cannot consistently sdmit that the federal census gave her even ‘ous population more than she was entitled to. ‘The attention of the Postmaster General is Tespectfully called to the stroug clement of chance—similar to the brand discovered in lot- terive—which prevails in, sticks out all over and predominates the “sight unseen” sale of Articles not ealled for im the mails and disposed of ander his orders at auction. ——— oe. Railroad rate wars are going to stop between the cast and the west—until they begin again. As long as rafiroads are controlled and guided by buwan motives and human hands so long will they try to get ahead of each other in some + eee Batter Colonel Watterson of Louis- ve w free coinage bill as a present for his silver wedding, which he will celebrate ext Saturday? — 9 New Hampshire politics is still the Ronors with news from Irland and the Indian disturbances in the west. —— ‘The legubriousness of tone of senatorial anti- elections bill oratory is just about as gloomy as the prospect of the pasage of the bill. =. American common sense will doubtless prove equal to the task of meeting American finan- cial necessity, and of dodging the American fiasocial crank ut the ume time. ee Financially speaking, it is a condition, and a great rasioty of theories which confront us.
