4 _THE EVENING STAR. "WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR has a reqular and permanent circulation In Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper ia the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- ‘Vertising Medium it bas ne competitor. ‘The House of Representatives bas passed « bill which will, if it becomes law. control the sale of liquors within the District in a manner that will be measurably satisfactory to the diverse interests which have for some time past been clamoring for relief from the present un- comfortable and uncivilized conditions. As it was finally disposed of by the House the mearnre is more nearly a high-license bill than any of the legislative propositions which hav been considered im that branch of Congress during the present seasion and by amendments which were offered yesterday the regulations were considerably but not unreasonably stiffened. ‘These amendments wore offered by the repre- sentatives who are ever watchful in behalf of the principle of total abstinence—President Dingley of the Congressional Temperance Society, Morse of Massachusetts, Pickler of South Dekota and J. D. Taslor of Ohio— but so reasonable were they that they met with only slight opposition from those who are active in their advocacy of the legal and other rights of liquor dealers. It was the judgment of the House that applications for license abould not be considered when it is shown that After the passage of the present bill the appli- cant has violated either liquor or anti-gambling laws, and after lengthy debate it was agreed that the license fees should be exalted con- siderably. The bill, which was practically that introduced and supported by Representative ‘Timothy J. Campbell, had fixed the value of Wholesale license at $150 and a bar room license at $250, but when the House got through with that section the fees were respectively $250 and #400. Then the penalties for soiling liquor withont a license were raised. The District com- mittee thought that a fine which ranged from €250 to $500 would be all right, but in view of the fact that the value of licenses had moved up- ward the mazimum penalty was placed at €00. Proprietors of licenses who violate any provis- fons of license law can be punished by fines of not less than $50 nor more than $20) and should the fine be unpaid there may be im- prisonment for one month. A second convie- tion in any case would forfeit the license in- volved. It was also decided to continue the ene-taile no-saloon limit around the Soldiers’ Home—a conclusion which, with all due respect to Gen. Kelton, was eminently wise, and one in which the community will surely concur. Of course, nothing came of Representative Pickler’s effort to prevent the sale of liquor in the District on the Fourth of March, in spite of the fact that his endeavor was vigorous and to some extent logical There has never been any great disorder here on such an occasion and the number of drunken people has always been in- significant. It looked for a little while ss though the South Dekotan had score a point when he called attention to the fact that Con- gress had but a few days before appropriated money to be used in the preservation of order, and yet it would not aid in the work by closing the saloons. The extra officers, however, are not needed to prevent intoxication; their ener- gies will be devoted to keeping the avenue and other highways clear of obstructions while the great parade is on and to the detection of those pickpockets who are always to be found in « multitude. Washington knows how to behave itself and will undoubtedly do so. ‘There need be no friction between the sup- porters of this measure and those who secured the insertion of the Hunton license amend- ment in the District appropriation bill, and there ought not to be any objection to the ‘Will surely go through, and if the license see- tion is undisturbed then the local treasury and local morality will have a reasonable safeguard, but should that section be stricken out, and then in the confusion and rash which always marks the decease of a Congress, this House bill ‘would be in serious danger of losing much of its good name. If the measure which is now on its way to the northern end of the Capitol does become law, it has within ita provision that would repeal the Hunton amendment to the sppropriation bill. Let us hold on to the plank until the steamboat comes along. And now let the Senate attend to its share of the work which must yet be done, and done speedily, and for the result the District of ‘Columbia will be truly thankful. 0 Se far as the administration is concerned there does not seem to be any tendency toward undue haste in the matter of Hawaiian annex- ation, and this deliberation is to Le commended. ‘There is undoubtedly another side to the con- troversy, and this, weak as it probably is, bas not yet been presented to the State Department. It is coming. though, for Panl Neumann, who but for the recent revolt would still be Hawaii's Attorney-General, is on his way to this city and expects to be here by the end.of this week. He comes as the special envoy of the deposed queen and will do his utmost to prevent favor- able action upon the propositions made to the United States by the revolutionary commission- ers who have been in consultation with the State Department for several days past. Ac- companying the ex-Attorney-General is a member of the one-time royal family— Prince Lomi-Lomi. Up to this time Mr. Neumann hes talked only a little, but the Many rumors as to his mission bave com- pelied him to deny that he willendeavor to sell the throne of Hawaii to the United States | for cash. The denial was unnecessary, for no Fational being ever imagined that the United States would invest a cent in even the cheapest Kind of « well-preserved throne, andit certainly Will not put ap adoilar to buy the wreck of « Piece of furniture that could not possibly be set wp om this continent. Mr. Neumann's con- tention is that this government should “rein- state” ex-Queen Liliuokalani, but as this gov- ernment had nothing to do with her deposition St may not easily, and in the face of the ruling sentiment of Hawaii, endeavor to re-establish a monarchy which is very properly defunct. But these sentiments should not bar the coming of Mr. Neumann and of Prince Lomi-Lomi. ‘They should continue their journey if for no ether parpose than to witness the inauguration ef President Cleveland. They will see how a great nation accepts the results of a revolution. ——— Now that crinoline has come to be a subject of general legisiation the “politicianesses” will be expected to speak in clarion tones. This is ‘their goiden opportunity. ———— With legisiatnres doing their best to suppress is not coupled in any way with a re moval or elevation or depression of the northern belt of surface tracks which now cut and double the obstruction to travel and traffic offered by the existing band of no-thorough- fare railroad territory, and by diminishing the railroad need of extending its facilities along its present course it will decrease by cursed with a double line of surface tracks actors it, killing the value of the isolated prop- erty lying between the two sete of tracks. Plans for causing these two branches to unite outside of the city and to enter over a single street have been demanded for years by the people of this sec- tion and are now assented to and framed by the railroad itself. ‘This action of the House puts South Washington in Northeast Washing- ton’s present plight by girdling it with ite second belt of surface tracks. Relief for the one section is still mere matter of talk #0 far as Congress is concerned, while the imposition upon the other section is promptly crystallized into legislation by the House, pessnsastan ibe yess een om Iconoclastic practices as a rule are to be deprecated, but after being wearied for several days with wild stories of Indian outbreak—most of the romancers locating the probable blood- shed on the Pine Ridge reservation—Tus Stan feels compelied to call attention to the facts that a general insurrection among the Sioux is very far from probable, and that the famous chief Two-Strike had nothing whatever to do with the murder of the four cow-boys who were siain at Hamphrey’s ranch on White Clay creek on the 2d day of this month. The principal criminal is down on the agency rolls as Red Elk, alias Two Sticks. So it will be seen that gross injustice has beon done the ancient war- rior with the base ball appellation who retired from the slaughtering business when he handed his rife to Gen. Miles two years ago. There is' no danger of an insurrection for there are no causes that would bring about a disturbed con- dition of a One or two Indians and as many white people have been doing their worst in behalf of trouble, but the chances are overwhelmingly against them. From Fort Robinson, which is the army post nearest Pine Ridge Agency, comes the startling information that horses are being shod and harness mended preparatory to taking the field. Such alleged information is foolishness, pure and simple. Troops are not in the habit of neglecting horses and harness until there is prospect of strife and there certainly has been no such laxity at Fort Robinson aa the various correspondents have insinuated. Should there be necessity the en- tire garrison could be on the march in two hours with every horse in first-class condition andevery buckle in place. Settlers whose homes are in the vicinity of the reservation would, in most instances, like to see things stirred up, for then there is much freighting at good rates, but these will be disappointed.
