4 TON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 8. 1893—TEN PAGES. _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. Himes larger than that ofany ether paper in the clty. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competi Congressional opinions that precede Congres- sional debate and the trading or log-rolling, which is in these times Congressionally com- mon, are not always to be relied upon, but where there is marked preponderance of belief | it is safe to accept the guidance of the majority and march toward a conclusion that, while | premature, will probably be about correct. ‘The New York World has undertaken to poll the members of the next House on three important matters. The questions asked were: “Do you, with present informa- tion, favor repeal of the Sherman silver law?" “Do you favor an income tax?” “Do you favor the repeal of the State Bank tax?" In response to the first query there is practical unanimity; as to the income tax there is much evasion; on the proposition to repeal the state bank tax the “noes” seem to have it. A large proportion of the membership bas not yet been heard from but all the probabilities are favorable to the present proportions being Preserved. If the result of this poll is accepted | as a reliable forecast of legislation the country may begin to congratulate itself. The repeal of the Sherman law is evidently most desirable. evasion or outright defeat should certainly be- fall the income tax idea, while the effort to en- courage an enormous output of greenbacked | himself and before the pressure is severe Promises to pay that may never be fullfilled ‘ought to be promptly sat upon. ——_ ee Having without difficulty gauged public sentiment in the matter of a long-distance horse race—from Chadron, Neb., to Chicago— the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has scattered throughout the states of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois an- nouncements to the effect thet a reward of $500 will be paid for the arrest and conviction of ‘any participants in euch race. That the con- test is a cruel and foolish affair cannot be doubted. The proposition was that some thirty or forty cowboys should start from Chadron on the 13th of this month, mounted on “broncos,” and from that point should race to the World's Fair, a distance of more than eight hundred miles. ‘The contest would not prove anything, amd could not possibly result in good of any description. Nebraska laws declare the overdriving, torturing or overworking of horses to be heavil is able, and it is also e misdemeanor to racing on the public highway. Iowa w at least ‘as strict in its efforts to protect dumb brutes from the brates who are not dumb, while Illi- nois has a very comprehensive statnie. In view of this activity on the part of the S. P. C. A. the race will probably never be run, but if it is then every participgnt should be promptly prosecuted. oo Is it not about time that the expenses which the government are paying for the entertain- ment of the “Nation's Guests” should cease? ‘The south contributes largely to the sum de- manded for their entertainment. and not only will never see the guests, but will never get back a dollar of the money so expended.— Richmond Times. This broad-minded and patriotic deliverance is based upon the assumption that the south does not intend to visit the world’s faic, where the nation’s guests are to be seeu, and upon the assumption that no national expenditure is to be countenanced by the south which does not ehow a sectional reimbursement dollar for dol- lar. Exactly the same complaint might be made by the Pacific slope, and in fact to a greater or less degree by every community ex- cept Illinois and Chicago. Itis there alone that the nation’s guests, viewed as dime mu- seum spectacles, reimbursing by gratuitous ex- hibitions of themselves the national outlay on their account, play engagements of any satis- factory length. What a miserable, picayune affair this nation would be if it pursued the narrow, sectional lines proposed for it by the Times! —_+-+____ That is a pleasant little story in which the Inte Edwin Booth figures as having saved the Bfe of Robert Todd Lincoln, son of the man who was murdered by Edwin Booth’s brother. Mr. John T. Ford, well known here, vouches for ite accuracy and says that about March 1, 1876, while Robert Lincoln was waiting for a train at Bowling Green, Ky., he was dragged outof the way of « rapidly moving engine by Edwin Booth. So narrow was the escape that Mr. Lincoln's feet were grazed by the cow- catcher. Mr. Ford was an eyewitness and his testimony will hardly be disputed. The savior and saved were unacquainted with each other and it was not until after the occurrence that ical attempts to remove the seat of govert- ment, and such removal would have meant, of course, the death of Washington. * * * To neglect the infant, to threaten it constantly With destruction, and then to urge its conse- | quent feebleness as a reason for killing it out- right, was a favorite policy with its enemies.” During the ten years preceding the removal to Washington, for which time the capital re- mained at Philadelphia while prevarations for the government's reception were made at the infant capital on the Potomac, there was much desperate scheming to prevent the government from leaving Philadelphia by those who after- | ward plotted for a second removal of the enp- ital. It was in the midst of these hostile schemes that the capitol’s corner stone was laid. Bat Washington's years of peril have long since passed away and the national capital is here to tay. From astraggling village it has grown to conditions of greater beauty and desir- ability than may elsewhere be found on all this hemisphere. Mud and structural wretchedness have been succeeded by avenues of incomparable smoothness and buildings that jack nothing of magnificence. It is a city of which the nation is proud, and the jubilation that marks a century of life since the home of American legislation first rose above ground should be commensurate with the victories which local pluck and local pride and local cash have achieved since the year 1793. ——_+«e With an eve single to its own welfare Yam- many is preparing to make an assault upon the New York city post office. After much watch ing and scheming and impatient waiting the greatest of political organizations has the pleasure of seeing a representative member ap- pointed to what is really the most important federal office in New York city. Speaking for enough to be felt Mr. Dayton opines that but few sudden changes will be made in the force which operates the great mail exchange, but be- neath the velvet paw—in this case, fitly repre- sented by the new postmaster—is the tiger’ claw, ever ready to bury itself im republi- can or mugwump flesh. Tammany men who, know what they.are talking about say that every man who can possibly be removed—aud they do not admit that any are anchored—will be displaced bya loyal follower of Richard Croker. It is to be hoped that President Cleveland will see to it that the public service at such an important point is not demoralized by the horde of dollar-seeking politicians who but few months ago could not find language harsh enough in which to criticise the princi- ples be represents. en Kansas people have now turned their atten- tion to rain making. This is a simple, harmless pastime, which, even if it does no good, is free from the temptations to disorder that infest Kansas polities. It is spectacular, noisy and generally satisfying. By all means let Kansas stick to rain making. as Tee It has been telegraphed to New York that President Higginbotham of the Columbian ex- position directory appeared at a breakfast to the Infanta ina dress suit, Ward McAllister Will, no doubt, seize upon this and upon it baso a claim of complete vindication in all that he has said about Chicago. +o Mr. Quay declares in an interview that he is not interested in state politics. To many people Pennsylvania politics in this condition will resemble “Hamlet” with the title role omitted. oe Secretary Gresham will now spend some time in discovering the whereabouts of that execu- tive session in the State Department. +02 — Controller Eckels stepped into a busy season. Anda busy season appears to be his element. —__+ e+ SHOOTING STARS. “Well!” exclaimed the liquor dealer who had just won a suit in court, “‘the law and the profits both appear to be on my side.” We soon will have, if pugilists Keep up their wordy chaff, A prize fight asa feature of The sidewalk phonograph. A CONFLICT OF SEASONS. F ‘The man who invented poetry was very care- less. Otherwise he would never have made an article of summer wear like the bicycle rhyme with “icicle.” A young woman of this city whose quick wit is responsible for the loss of a number of friends has just seen another retire from the list. ‘The young man was in a philosophical mood, and remarked: “Self study is a bad thing.” “I shouldn't be surprised,” she responded flippantly. “Now, I am sure that if I were to devote time to thinking about myseif I should become very Booth became aware of Lincoln's sdenti Surely the law of compensation was working at Bowling Green that day. — The collection of garbage at this season be- comes one of the most important features of a city’s service. A slight neglect may bring about disastrous results far exceeding anything that could be foreseen. The time of year is at hand when climatic conditions often aggravate ailments which might ordinarily be inconsider- able to serious proportions. The most that can be done to keep the city clean and wholesome will not be too much. — oe * The promptness with which a jury was ce- eured in the Borden case is an indication that people in and about New Bedford are more broad minded than others, or else that they do not read the newspapers, or else that the Massa- chusetts jury law is an improvement upon that with which Washingtonians are familiar. + South America will probably arrange for a guessing contest in which competitors will strive to locate the next revolution. [t would be a merry and picturesque style of diversion ——__seo President Cleveland evidently believes in Promptness without haste. = ‘The public meeting held last night assures ‘every one interested that the one hundredth anniversary of the laying of the Capitol corner- stone will be properly celebrated. From the time when the original proposition was made the idea was popular and during the past few weeks it has grown in favor to such an extent that its successful realization is certain. It is Feasonably correct and not immodest to state that Washington eclipses all other cities of the United States in the character of its gala occa- sions and it is within the bounds of reasonable | Prophecy to aver that the display of enthusiasm and decorative sympathy will be greater than bas been witnessed here for many years. The celebration means more | than © mere remembrance of the fact that on September 15, 1793, the northeast cor- ner stone of the Capitol was lowered into place; it will be a cumulative sort of rejoicing which will take cognizance of the struggles that so frequently threatened to destroy the handi- work of those who founded the city by first preventing the government from coming here and later by causing a removal of the seat of government. From time to time Tar Stax in historical sketches of Washington's growth has noted the antagonisms which promised serious results. “From its tenderest years,” said Tux Srax, “its nerves have been unstrung. its growth retarded and its constitution under- mined by a well-founded terror, due to the attempts upon its life and the threats of sudden and violent destruction made from time to time by its guardian. Like the hero of ‘Great Expectations,’ the capital was bronght up ‘by hand,’ and its guardian was forever ‘on the rampage.’ From the day in 1800 when the archives of government were Drought from Philadelphia in ‘seven large boxes and four or tive smaller ones,’ and an @rmy of fifty-four officeholders swelled the narrow-minded.” “Oh, vos; you'd probably have to in order to grasp the subject.” And for the time he really felt as small as she had pictured him. Unele Eben bad been reading a newspaper, and as he laid it down he said: “It sutn’y do beat ail how many reformers dah is gittin’ ter be now-a-days. It do beat all.” “What isa reformer?” asked Aunt Chloe, as she paused in the midst of ner ironing. “Am hea member ob one ob de learned perfes- sions?” No,” was the reply. “Ter my way ob thinkin’ er refohmer mos’ allus am des somebody dat's hankerin’ after er new deal.” SAVING TROUBLE. Are you going away for the summer?” No,” replied the crabbed man; “I ain't.” “Why not?” “Because I don’t have to. There's every reason to believe that if Istay here the sum- mer'll be brought to me.

Every stranger who visits Washington is struck by the courtesy and refinement of even the poorest of the people. There are various reasons for it, but one of the weightiest is that the poorest man in Washington can enjoy means of culture that the richest in San Fran- ciseo cannot have without leaving home. In whatever part of the city he may live.he is within sight of the s:ately public buildings in which he feels a proprietary interest. The streets are broad and smavoth, with shade trees and lawns liming their sides, Parks and parklets are seattered everywhere, each with its exquisitely kept dower beds and its statue or fountain.
