THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY... ___._.._._ March 22, 1893. Saat sere aneee one--Falitor. ‘THE EVENING TAR bas @ regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper in the city. As « lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Yertisteg Medium it has ne competitor. ‘Mrs. Mary E. Lease is beginning to find out that while it is comparatively easy tocall the Afrite from the jar, it is more than even she eam do to get him back again and securely corked down. Followed by kundreds less elo- quent and therefore les dangerous, Mra. Lease has aroused in the Kansas mind what has been mistaken by many for asense of wrong. Ob- Jurgatory adjectives were freely applied to | those who as rational human beings could not agree with the revolutionary doctrines that were being scattered broadcast throughout the ‘west and southwest. Orators with theories— men and women whose ignorance forbade their recognizing the force of words—stirred up the evil passions of s multitude that would, had it opportunity, be as cruel as any aggre- gation of buman savages ever were. And for much of this Mra Mary E. Lease {s responsible. To apply the term “‘revolution- fats” to any considerable portion of the popu- Jation of this country may seem harsh, but threatening facts cannot be hidden beneath smooth words. Why is it thatthe adjutant general of Kansas travels all over the state ‘organizing companies of “‘provisional guards"? ‘What did this same officer mean when he said | ‘that by November, 1594, be would have 100,000 armed men at his back, ready to march at his | command and to shoot when so ordered? Who | tanght the people to read Ignatius Donnelly’s amarchistic murder-inspiring novel? Who stirred up discontent in every hamlet and home? ‘Who, literally, sowed the wind, and who fears welcome a statute which will affect only those sheets whose absurd claims to large circulation are “‘as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal;”” are like to the ultra-noisy drum and the shriek- ing Pandean pipes with which the fakir attracts public attention. When a merchant invests in advertising space he should know beyond» pusiowabees tai the circulation of the newspaper he patronizes, just as the purchaser of so much sugar or flour or beef should be sure he is go- ing to receive all he pays for. Those who claim to be on terms of intimacy with the newspaper situation in San Francisco look for some interesting developments. It is gen- erally understood that The Examiner, which is the author of the law to discourage the securing of advertising under false pretenses, will sooner or later charge one or more of its | competitors with breach of the statute, compel the defendants to come into court and there | prove by their books their precise circulation. It would be well if such » law were in force all over the United States. Tue Stan would wel- come it to the District of Columbia Tax Sran’s books are wide open toevery customer— present or prospective. Once each week Tax Stan publishes a sworn statement of the num- ber of copies “actually sold, delivered, fur- nished or mailed, for valuable consideration, to bona fide purchasers or subscribers,” and 1 also makes affidavit that “‘none of the copies 80 counted were returned to or remain in the of- fice unsold." That is the basis upon which ‘Taz Stan does business. ier Experts on immigration are of the opinion that comparatively few foreigners will come to this country to settle during the present year, aconelusion which must be rather surprising to those who imagined that the reopening of the gates would result in a tremendous inrush of those who by reason of the presidential procla- mation have been kept out. There are several good reasons why immigrative slackness will probably prevail during 1893. Steerage rates have been materially increased, the big steamship companies realizing that their the reaping of the whirlwind? Let Mrs. Mary E. Lease ask herself these questions and answer them trethfully, if she will She did more | than all others to make populism | | profits during the world’s fair period would come from the cabin passengers and that those profits would be com- pletely swallowed up should epidemic disease popular and now she shuddersas she contem-|be discovered in the steerage. Then the plates her handiwork. Her latest effort is to | European governments are cautious as to the undo much that was sccomplished last fall, | wholesale shipments of paupers and criminals, but the outlook is far from promising. She has | for they realize that public sentiment is wide- commenced to organize the women of Kansas | awake just now and that further imposition into peace association, the members of which | would not be tolerated. Information from across are bound by a pledge to do their utmost to prevent internecine war and to frown down the formation of those independent military com- | panies that are being formed by Gov. Lewelling and Adjutant General Artz. It is late to com- meace this work of reform and the probabili- ties are against anything like success, but Mrs. ‘Lease should not falter; if she cries “peace” for twenty years to come she will not more than begin to repair the wrongs she has inflicted upon ‘Kansas cr wipe out the injury she has done to the reputation of the United States. —_++-____ Gripmen employed by the Philadelphia Traction Company have been complaining loudly over an order which compels them to stop their trains at every street corner, and Even Saperintendent Porter will be compelled @ admit the inaccuracy of the eleventh census when his attention is directed to the fact that Dulletin Na. $66, which is supposed to tell all about the statistics of manufactures of Long Inland City, makes no mention of the Gleason ‘machine or ite product, —$\_<o__ If the Colorado Sun is not boisterously protd esty has indeed moved westward at rapid gait Thirty-two pages of news and advertise- ‘ments, excellent in quality and of more than sverage typographical merit, make upan ad- ‘tmirable epecimen of « wideawake newspaper. ——_++s____ ‘The enccessful politician of the immediate Present should not grow proud and haughty. ‘He-will be anct himself some day. ———_+2 ‘The objection to annexation with Canada (fered by Newfoundland probably will not ‘worry Canada o great deal.

It has the equipment of ® modern and model municipality. An official description of it says it has a combined water capacity of 54,000,000 gallons day, and will soon have 100,000,000. It has 25 miles of water mains and 291 hydrants. A hundred more will be provided. There are 3 steam fire engines, 4 chemical engines, a ladder truck, water tower, 40 hose carts, 26,750 feet of hose, 1,050 hand fire extinguishers, 2,500 fire pails, 3 steam fire boat, 65 firemen, 150 alarm boxes, 150 patrol telephones, 500 guards and very fine electric light and sewerage systems. No men- tion is made of grade-crossings or trolley cars, but as no modern city seems to be complete without these murderous appliances it is but fair to presume that the exposition city will have them also. aman An inspection of the tax one of the great American insti very small regard for social disti eae In spite of Mr. Cleveland's industry the of- fice seekers retain a very disproportionate re- lation to the office getters.
