“THE _EV ENING February 10, 1993. = Editor. = CROSBY 5. NOvES FMR EVENING STAR base reesiar and permencat circulation in Washington three times larger than that ofany other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Wediam it bas ne competitor. Americans generally seem to have been much surprised over the conviction and sentence of Ferdinand De Lesseps. That his son Charles | war guilty of all that was charged against bim mast have beeu evident to the most careless newspaper reader and that M. Eiffel, the famous ‘and now infamous engineer, behaved criminally Dae also been made plain, but no one seemed to fhaagine for a moment that the arm of the law, would reach out for the aged and world-bonored builder of the Suez Canal end the promoter of the scandal-breeding imteroceanie ditch which Bas beon the rain of both the innocent and the wrong-doer, And yet the elder De Lesseps was | undoubtedly aware of all the corruption which bas resulted so disastrously for France, and | his persuasive voiceand plansible statement con- tinued, so long ss possible, to draw from the poor of the country every available franc. That large proportion of the squandered capital came from the lower classes is shown by the fact that of the original issue of stock more | than eighty thousand people held from one to | five shares each. In all that original issue were but few more than one bundred thousand stockholders, and of these at least sixteen thoasend we men. This number inereased considerably with successive issues of bonds, aud when the crash came there was sudden end heartrending poverty in hundreds of thousands of homes. Every move in the en- tire game was made with the knowledge and consent of Ferdinand de Leseps. For « long while he knew the Panama Cunal was a failure, yet he continued to solicit eubseriptions and buoy up popular hopes until the babble burst. His fall has been great and he will probably die in prison, but that he deserves panishment cannot be doubted for « moment. A life of seeming success has been blasted by dishonesty and «name which might have been bright for centuries is honored no more. 2e2 In these enlightened days when every well- e@tucated child knows more than ite great grandparents did and when religious beliets are | about as broad as they are ‘ong it is somewhat surprising that actual cruelty should be prac- tised in connection with admission to any | branch of the Christian Charch. Years ago no Rioux Indian had standing in his tribe until he | bad undergone the torture of the sun-dance, | but the humane sentiment of the nation inter- | fered to prevent the self-inflicted torture and by force the sun-dance was suppressed. On Sunday last, near Marshall, M, Elder J. A. MeCash—charch not stated—baptized several converts in the iey waters of the river. One of these converts, « boy of fifteen named William | Deabl, while obeying the dictates of the organ- faation in which he desired membership, was | immersed and immediately dropped dead. No | one need be surprised at this, It was a proba- bility in connection with « number of bap- which took place in Baltimore recently. ‘That same sentiment which forbade the In- diane from indulging in the sun-dance should exert ite influence to prevent inhumanity and the unnecessary sacrifice of life even when they are alleged to be in the interest of religious growth, see Just why there should be a tendency toward the culogizing of Gov. Hogg of Texas because he has issued a wordy manifesto to the leginla- ture of his state on the burning at the stake of & negro criminal is something many intelligent people fail to understand. Simultaneously with the news of the horrible assault committed by the since-overdone villain was published the ennouncement that if enught he would be burned alive. Gov. Hogg knew this, just as did every newspaper reader inthe land, and for three days, while the search proceeded, heard the reiterated threats of the enraged inhab- itauts of savage Paris. But he did nothing to quell the tumult. When Smith was captured the governor became snddenly emphatic, cot manding the sheriff to do all sorts of then im- pomsible things. Gov. Hogg knew the temper of the gathering mob and yet beyond sending joud-sonnding mesages to unheeding and Dioodthirsty people the governor did nothing. His post-mortem expressions would be ladic- Yous were not the honor of Texas and of the! Ration #0 deeply concerned. — Every American and, unless appearances are very deceptive, quite a large number of Europeans desire to see the world’s fair a suc- cows from beginning to end. But thie success ie not powsible if the compiaints of many manu- fecturers are well founded. From several im- portant business centers the cry has gone up that Chicago houses have secured possession not only of the choice space but also of more space than they were equitably entitled to. If this beso the country will be deeply disap- pointed in Chicago and with good reason. The management was supposed to be of local prejudicesand unlesa reiess as to reputation it will rightsome of the errors which az» now lying at its door. It i © world’s fair and not « Chicago show. All of which lea: naturally and very directly up to the logical and incontrovertible argument that «national enterprise should be located at | the national capital and controlied exclusively | by national officers, wee Many of the Pennsylvania National Guards Men are not over anxious to attend the inau- gural ceremocies because they were away from | their occupations for so long « period at Home- stead. Washington wants the military featare of the parade wo be larger and more attractive than ever before, and therefore hopes tht Pennsylvania delegation will come in all its might. If, however, the Kerstone authorities find it impossible to bring with them the entire division and selection has to be made Tax Stan | meekly Ventures to suggest that the regiments which dingraced themselves here at inaugura- tious past are not absolutely necessary to the euecess of the celebration which takes plese on the Fourth of March next. on M.

He i « big broad-shouldered man, of exceptional vicality. The current knocked | place within easy reach a sufficiency of the mysterious current which even its familiars ad- mit may mutilate and shock to the verge of die solution. Accidents from a severed and fallen trolley wire are probably infrequent, but catas- trophes resulting from the crossing of telegraph | or telephone wires are too numerous. Between these there is @ general resemblance. Hore is one from Pottsville, Pa., which is a fair sample: “Joseph Powell, Joseph MM: and the | torso horse vere ‘hocked ‘end seriously bn De coming in contact witha live | Aerons the Schurikill electric railway trolley wire, carrying 500 volts of electricity, and came cl Moyer, one of the iporwans took hold of the ent wire and received a severe shock that threw him viclehtly to the ground. A fow moments inter Powell came along driring, when the end of the telephone wire became entangled in one of the wheels and a loop aright around the horse's right leg, eutting into the flesh and throwing the ani ing in agony. Powell jumped from the wagon and attempted to pull away tho wire from the horse'« foot, when he received the full voltage himself, Both Powell and Moyer are in doctors nds. How would Washingtonians like to have such system on the business streets of the national | capital, and how many Washingtopians are there who want to test practically and pain- fully their electrical resistance? wos Some of the over-excitable individuals who | have been engaged recently in discussing the | possibilities of an invasion of Canada have stirred up Canadian lawyer who calls fran- tically upon the minister of militia to arm and drill a large volunteer force to be ready for emergencies. Mr. Durand should not permit himself to become unduly excited nor should he, if he loves his fellow-man, demand the preparation of Canadian victims for the sacri- fice which would take place should the United States ever proceed to eliminate the boundary Such a proceeding is mero than improb- able, for untess all the signs fail it ia the Cana- dians who will first move to become part of the republic. There will be no bloody strife unless there should develop in her majesty’s dominion two or three million such shouters as Mr. Durand, daring the United States to come on, Tux Stan has not the honor of personal acquaintance with the minister of militia, but | it ventures to suggest that Mr. Durand be sup- | plied with a large two-handed double-edged sword and a permit to “shoot off his mouth” ‘until he is tired. —— The annual statistical number of the Puget Sound Lumberman, issned last month, is an excellent production, as to the character of ite matter, which is valuable to the business man and statistician, and as to its typographical and illustrative clearness, Few people realize what a tremendons affair the lumbering busi- ness is in the Pacific northwest. The Lumber~ man tells the story. ee No moralist can ever picture the evanescence of fame and the uncertainty of fortune with the completeness that De Lesseps’ career has done, ———~+e-___ It is sincerely hoped on many sides that in the wire pulling going on in connection with street railway deals now progressing in Wash- ington there is no trolley wire pulling. Se The world’s fair in fixing up its schedule of prices should not get itself confounded with a ebureh fair. +02 A most prosperous condition of affairs in Italy is indicated by the fact that people there are buying anthracite coal from the Reading people. ——_ +++ ___.
