EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washingten three times larger than that ofany other paper in the city. As = local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising ‘ately succeed the one which came to an end on the 4th of March. At that time there was gresemen todo the least possible amount of work for their salaries and the President's natural disinclination to surround himself with shost of hungry and persistent seekers after presidential recognition were sufliciently powerful to overshadow the argument and ren- der the approach of danger temporarily imvisible to themselves, The embarrass- ment thet has encumbered commercial operations during the past two or three months might have beer averted bad! the session been held when the necessity first | became clearly apparent. That Congress will do all that is being asked of it is out of the question and that it will secomplish anything like a fall solution of the great and extremely intricate problem is not at all likely. There is much raw material in the next House, many méen with many theories, and it must take some time to convince them that the reformation of all mundane matters is not their immediate duty. The repeal of the Sherman act is quite but even that will not happen until there has been a great deal of unnecessary dis- ‘cussion, and possibly not before the adoption of such repressive but basinesslike rules as were condemned in unmeasured terms by the party which now realizes the necessity for con- trolling a tarbulent minority. With the issuing of the proclamation President Cleveland has transferred all responsibility for the national finances to Congress, where it belongs. In good season he will advise the legislators as to what be believes should be done and then they will do as seems unto them best. —__+ ++ —___—_. ‘With much more than an ordinary degree of interest well-informed people the whole world over bave at least one eye looking toward South Carolina, where, today, s law that is revolution- ary in its terms has gone into effect. Hitherto the bibalously-inclined residents of the Pal- ‘motto State have purchased thetr intoxicants in saloons run by private individuals, but today, if they bought any, they were served by an officer of the state. The change is « notable ‘ome and as the law and its operations are purely experimental on this side of the Atlantic sociologists of high and low degree will be ‘especially watchful. In one or two points there is some relationship between the South Carolina statute and the Gothenburg system, but it is by no meanscertain that Gov. Tillman will achieve the success which has been achieved in Europe; by public sentiment, but the Tillman endeavor is far from acceptable to agreat many of those without whose aid enforcement of the law will be extremely difficult, although the energetic governor declares that violators of the act will be surely discovered and vigorously dealt with. ‘The bill which has created so much disturbance, and which will be a subject of dis- cussion for years to come, is the result of « compromise with South Carolina's legislative conscience. A majority of both branches of the assembly was pledged to the enactment of ® prohibitory measure, but when the oppor- tunity to redeem the promises arrived the legislators weakened. Out of countless sug- gestions sprang the Evans dispensary bill, and when the governor bad signed it the state served notice to quit on every saloon within its borders and declared ite imtention to sell, after July 1, all the liquor that should be sold in South Caro- lina. “The machinery of the law is complicated and must of itself offer considerable obstruction to enforcement, but as against legal and illegal technicalities will be arrayed the vital forces controlled by the indomitable if slightly erratic ‘Tillman. That newly discovered power declares that illegitimate selling of liquor will be pre- vented without much difficulty and he counts upon the assistance of nine-tenths of the tax- payers; something he will surely have if the scheme works on the planned lines, for the dis- pensary business should bring great revenue @2d decrease the amount of taxation to a con- @derable extent The sale of intoxicants in South Carolina has by an anti-monopolistic legislature been placed in the hands of a monopoly, but asthe peopie who built it up may tear it down if they so elect the experi- ‘ment is not likely to canse any serious damage. It deserves better treatment than unreasouing condemnation. —___ ++ —____ Very many among the millions who, within the boundaries of the United States, celebrate the Fourth of July have anything more than a crude idea as to why the day is sacred to pa- triotie disturbance, and with this lamentable feet staring directly in the national face the utterances of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in the July Forum are timely. Of the many who are fisted to diseuss the nation’s birtinday nune can claim supremacy over the author of “The Bat- ‘tle Hymn of the Republic,” and although some of her criticisms may arouse antagonism there will be general concord as to her recommenda- tions. Mra Howe takes issue with the concla- sions of John Adams when ne said of the Fourth that “tit ougbt to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be celebrated with | pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, gans, bells, bonfires and illuminations, | from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.” Mra. Howe is satisfied that the time which has elapsed has brough: into being a new society for which “pomp and parade, bells, guns and | bonfires” are less available for good than pleas | ures of © more elevated character, bas culti- vated the desire for acelebration which shall | speak jess to the bodily senses and more to the | amner sense. It is necessary, of course, that the | names and deeds of those who fought for free- dom should be recalled. bat, says Mrs. Howe, “if we would crown their conquest, we must give more attention to the good for which they died than tothe mere circumstance of thei death. The ordinary procedure of mankind is | quite the opposite of this. They are proud of the military success. careless of the civic and | ethical gain.” As Elizabeth Barrett Browning | once asked after witnessing a great Dante festi- “What will become of the new Italy it | her young men shall stand still strewing | violets ull the time?” so Mra. Howe wants to know what will become of our new republic | if the hours of its highest festival continue to be occupied with fustian oratory, gunpowder | enthusiasm and the exercise of every poor and goan trade, the saic of toys, bad food and. worse liquor. Not that she would abridge the ehbildish pleasure of the day, for explosi Accentuations are necessary and serve a pur- pose, but she believes, as all thinking people must, that the day itself is too important to be e of mere noise and parade, “It she urges, “be made highly valuable for impredsing upon the minds of the young the histoxy of their national liberty and its cause,” aid she then calls attention to the youth of many nations whose parents have come to our shores and who will form an i portant part of our future body _ politic, “im whose government today their cents are too easily able to partici- pate.” To combine the solemnity of a national festival with the amusement and in- struction of the young is not an easy matter, but it can be accomplished. Cultural and philanthropic associations should meet on that day and disenss the philosophy of freedom, mothers should confer as to their patriotic duties and for the maintenance of peace. Pro- cessions, civic rather than military, and prefera- bly religious, should be features. The cities and states should greet each other suitably, and as the device of the day is suggested the motto “In the name of the repablic.” Asan ideal program Mrs. Howe suggests quiet gatherings in balls and churches on the evening of the third—meetings in which true love of country should be explained and illus- trated. “The morning of the Fourth,” she continues, “to be ushered in by martial music, and a military display sufficient to recall the services of the brave men who gave our fathers liberty. At 10 o'clock orations in various public buildings, the ablest speakers of the commonwealth doing their best to impart the lesson of the day. At la Spartan feast, wholesome and simple. No liquor to be served thereat, and none to be sold during the day. From 12 to 4:30 in the after- noon I would have exercises for the children of the public schools, examination of classes in American history, prizes given for essays on historical and patriotic subjects. Later, a gath- ering in public gardens, and a tea, with fruit and flowers, served for the children of the city. In the evening, the singing of national anthems, tableaux vivante and fireworks, and in some form a pastoral benediction.” An unobjec- tionable and not unreasonabie series of sugges- tions, worthy serious consideration, and if put in shape certain of local support and approba- tion, ee Beloved for his philanthropy and esteemed beyoud most of his fellow-men, Authony J. Drexel leaves behind him thousands of real friends who will mourn his departure with all sincerity. Fow as prominent as he in the great world of finance have done so many generous deeds or have so successfully subordinated bus- iness interests to the promptings of a charity that never wearied and yet was unostentatious. His influence on the money market wus great, but no honest man can ever say that it was sel- fishly or improperly used. The feeling tribute paid him by the Philadelphia Ledger ac- cords with the general sentiment when it says that “upon the great multitude of An- thony J. Drexel’s friends, here and abroad, the intelligence of his death falle with inexpressible sorrow and anguish. Toall who knew him it will fall as a public calamity, far-reaching and inestimable. Mr. Anthony J. Drexel was one of the proprietors of the Public Ledger, the honored partner, the beloved friend and daily companion of the surviving proprietor, George W. Childs. The Ledger can here give no im- pression of the loss it has suffered, in all ways that make its loss most keenly, profoundly felt. Itcan bateeccord its love, its esteem, itsad- miration for one who stood so near to it and who sympathized with it and ite parposes of public good.” SS For the first time in the history of bicycling the relay idea was yesterday operated in» genuine news service.

Financial conditions, complicated toa serious | extent by the action of the Indian government | in ceasing the free coinage of silver, have kept the business men guessing for the past few days, and will doubtless continue to keep them occupied at least until the extra session of Con- gress meets next month. Asan immediate re- | sult of India's movement toward a gold stand- arda large number of our silver mines have shut down, while many others are preparing to suspend operations until the market bas a more favorable appearance. Thousands of men have therefore been thrown out of employment with- out notice and great suffering must result. Be- tween the coal mine ‘ietors of Kansas and thetr employes there has been and is much frie- tion and serious troubles are apprehended by those who should be able to gauge the situation. The World's Columbian Exposition was wide open on Sunday toa great many visitors: in one building five thousand people attended religious services, conducted by the Kev. Dr. Thomas.
