2 THE EVEN! NG STAR: WASHINGTON, . C., THURSDAY, MAY 11. 1893—-TEN PAGES. “THE WASHINGTON. THURSDAY May 11, 1893. | EVENING STAR. ‘THE EVENING STAR basa regular aed permanent circulation In Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper ia the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competitor. Unless there is great disturbance in some other portion of Europe public attention will, until after the coming elections to the reich- stag, be centered upon the German empire. In that powerful subdivision of the old world struggle has just commenced which may re- sult in startling but not unnatural govern- mental changes. The Emperor William's ef- fort to secure the passage of a bili which would largely increase his army having been frustrated by the reichstag that refractory body was dissolved. Now another reichstag bas to be elected, and when it sits it will have to deal with the problem that brought about the present uncomfortable con- ditions in the Fatherland. Then should it also try to defeat the imperial desire Germany will probably experience such a sensation as it has not known for many years, for the Emperor bas determined to win. To an assemblage of many officers, gathered on the Tempelhofer paradeground, the Emperor said: “I was obliged to dissolve the Reichstag in the hope that the new Reichstag would pass the bill. I am determined. in case this hope also be dis- appointed, to stake all in my power to obtain the enactment of the measure, for [am too thoroughly convinced of its necessity as a guarantee of the peace of Europe to allow it to be finally defeated.” ‘That sounds as though the ruler of a great people was preparing to proceed to «xtremities, even to the extent of unconstitutionality, but the probability of such procedure is denied at the outset by an official who represents the emperor and who said that his majesty desires the most scrupulous adherence to constitu- tional forms. “The emperor,” continues this officer, “feels strongly, however, the urgent need of reforming the Reichstag. He cannot govern with a Reichstag split into ten political parties, among whom, through chance or partisan agreements, majorities are constantly forming against the Government on vital issues, His Majesty does not wish to rule absolutely He is willing to rule conditionally—even to allow the parliamentary majority a share in the government—but what imperial cabinet could work with Bebel, Lieber and Richter? Not one of them has under his control a positive work- ing majority; not one of them can get together & majority combination. Few things would please the emperor better than a consolidation of the parliamentary factions into two or three large parties, with whom he would be able to reckon in determining his policy. Then he would be happy to govern in harmony with the parliamentary majority.” To those who view the strife from afar it would seem as thongh this latter statement was born of that sober second thought which is not visible in the address made to the generals in the morning. The Emperor is undoubtedly a shrewd monarch and knows that every move- ment he makes toward the personal despotism of Frederick the Great but hastens the coming of the German republic. i ao Of the many valuable truths uttered last night at the banquet given Controller of the Currency Eckels none can be more gratifying to lovers of this beautiful city than those made by non-residents who have their fingers on the pulse of national opinion and who took occa- sion to comment upon the real importance of financial | im every time of distress in maintaining the nation’s credit. I am aware that no legal reason exists for sucha course, but having drawn so much of wealth and power to disarm a thousand critics who are loud in their denunciation of it and reconcile them to a sys- tem which they charge with being the recipient of special privileges denied to them.” Mr. Eckels is undoubtedly right. His senti- ment is patriotic and yet businesslike. ——__+oo___—_ Discontent among the waiters employed in hotels and restaurants seems not to be confined to asingle locality, for within aweek or so the rebellious spirit has made its appearance in a dozen cities. That these sometimes active mediums between hungry humanity and the realms of the chef have reason for revolution hae in many instances been made surprisingly manifest. In Boston one hotel required its waiters to work seventeen hours each for three days in the week, fourteen hours on three other days and nine hours on the one day re- maining, the men bad no breakfast except such as they could steal, were compelled to do porter’s work when the dining room was closed, and had to wear dress suits on Sundays, all on the tremendous salary of six dollars per week. Men who would not strike against such an op- pressive aggregation of wrongs should be re- garded as worthy of dime-museum fame. While the strike in New York was at its height one extremely “distinguished” proprietor told reporter that « waiter who had refused to go ‘out captured more than five dollars and a half in tips within three or four hours. He should have been ashamed to mention it. No other ¢lass of employer looks to the public to pay his help. —_+e+____ ‘Mrs. Lease disregarded her politics in order to cast her vote as president of the Kansas state board of chanties for a certain candidate for asuperintendency, because he cared for her two brothers who died on the battle field. It was a case where sentiment completely got the better of practical motives, and a vast majority ‘of people will not think less kiadly of Mrs. Lease for tho incident. ——— The editors who are now holding a conven- tion at Martinsburg, W.

Less than ‘& week ago there was sounded the last note in a long drawn minor strain to which one man’s life had been attuned tor nearly thirty years. An unknown man was knocked down by a horse that ran away in a Pittsburg street. Two or three hours later he died, but before the end came he said his name was John McGray and that he had served with the ninth Lllinois eav- airy during the war. In 1862 John McGray, then @ prosperous Chicago merchant, enlisted | in the Union army and went to the front, leav- ife and two children. After three years of faithful effort in behalf of the flag be returned home only to discover that his wife had abandoned him and had taken the little ones with hez. ‘Ynose two children were very dear to John ‘ox Populi” and “Veritas” | some serious consideration. These public | | McGray. In camp, on the marck and amid the | roar of conflict their images were often before | his eyes. He would not give them up. Dis- | posing of his remnants of property he started | out to seek his own. Patiently and with fidelity that knew no wavering he continued his quest, but without any appearance of encouragement. Then his money gave out and tho search moved less rapidly but without diminution in its per- | sisteuce. With but one object in life the sol- dier worked at whatever occupation could be | found, scorning charity, until funds enough had been saved to make another movement pos- sible. From state to state he wandered, occa- sionally believing he had a clue, but more fre- quentiy groping in the dark. He was looking foremployment in Pittsburg when that run- away horse came along, and then, perhaps, John ‘McGray found his children. —— +e | _ Gov. Flower has affixed his autograph to the bill which will probably make things uncom- fortable for newspaper proprictors in the state of New York who misrepresent the circulation of the journals they control. The law isas necessary as it is healthful, and it would be a good thing if it prevailed all over the United States. Dishonesty is everywhere reprebensi- ble, but nowhere is it more so than in a news- | paper. The financial backbone of a newspaper is its advertising, and the consideration for which advertising space is disposed of is based entirely upon the paper's circulation. To mis- represent circulation is to cheat, and thestatutes of California and New York very properly make such roguery an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment. The merchant who has goods to sell displays his wares to every customer, and is punishable for certain mis- Tepresentations in respect to them.

During the latter portion of his life Joseph Francis was highly honored, but not more so than was bis due. Had he been a military or naval hero to whose prowess large number of corpses gave silent testimony a grateful country would have exaited his name and paid him liberally, either through the medium of the retired list or the pension roll, or both, but as he was merely a clever civilian who devoted his talents to the preservation of the species the debt on the part of the United States was liquidated by the presentation of a gold medal and the formal “thanks of Congress.” He will be buried with- out sound of trumpet or rattle of musketry, but the absence of ceremonial grief will not lessen his greatness nor will it indicate any lack of popular esteem. rd Marietta College of Marietta, Obio, has just [adopted an interesting and somewhat novel idea in connection with the medal system which bas played so important a part in edu- cational advancement. Medals will be pre- sented to “the best al ‘round fellow,” the right to the distinction being determined by the votes of both classmates and faculty. This step toward making that a general popularity, which can only be attained by a combination of the qualities which are commendable in a student, a matter for tangible recognition is well worth attention. aa oe The collection of explanations which Uncle and extensive.

Buta good deal of what they produce seems to be worked over.” A visit to the theater is sufficient to convince a man that while a hat may be talked through it cannot be looked through. ‘THE PLAINT OF THE TOPER.

No wonder that the marks of care Are gathering on my brow, For soda fountains naught may sell But soda water now.” He had seen trouble before, had this Kansas farmer, and 8 little more or less didn’t seem to make a great deal of impression on him. He placidly watched the wind trying to use his barn for a corkscrew, and then remarked: “Well, there's nothin’ like keepin’ up with the times an’ runnin’ yer farm on fan de cyclone principles.”” The following, obviously, was written by a man with both slangful and dyspeptic tenden- ‘Just little sunshine,” The serio-comics sing.

But it wasn't as much of a political pie bakery as I thought it was.” ——__oe Trolleys and Damages. When a railroad takes or injures a piece of property it is bound to make good the dam- ages. The proposed elevated railroads occupy the center of the streets. They take no prop- erty. Property holders contend, however, that | they are injured, nevertheless, and they expect and will receive damages. But how is it with | the electric railroads which are putting up | poles all over town? If an elevated road is an | annoyance can it be claimed that « trolley road is not? The Znquirer yesterday related the in- cidents of a case where a trolley pole had been planted upon a sidewalk in front of a property which was protected by an awning worth $140. The partial Uestruction of this awning was necessary in order to place the pole in position. Is it possible that this man can claim no dam- ages? A trolley isa nuisance. The running of a trolley car is certainly a nuisance if the run- ning of an elevated car is. There is danger in the wires. There is annoyance in the buzzing | noise. Why should one road go free while an- | other should be made to pay heavy damages? | Itisentirely proper to assess damages for the building of an elevated structure. Is it not | | just as proper to make the trolley company pay | damages as well?— Philadelphia Inquirer. —— Susceptible Chicago. ‘The Dahomans spent a week in Paris while on their way to this country. ‘They say they found the climate of Paris much worse than that of Chicago.
