Financial upheavals are brief af- fairs and not as a rule disastrous to any considerable proportion of the people, tar- Mff differences regulate themselves in the course of time, the political supremacy of ‘one or other of the great parties is not Pregnant with national disaster, but the Poison of anarchy needs the immediate ad- ministration of an antidote or the result will be disturbing to the last degree. It was supposed by very many people who have an idea that they are weil informed that anarchistic doctrines had only limited circulation in the United States, but every ition was wiped Editor. Plauding utterances of those who hate law and order should have gone unchallenged of the sound-minded workingmen by discontented or upthinking majorities. But majorities are frequently wrong, and ‘that they are so in this matter is proven by the author of the communication to which especial reference is being made— ‘John in has from the time bad Hy Eeeartitgles a Gea} HH: i | | | | bit lf i { | 8 & B f . l z i | if ‘Suppose that tn the course of river and harbor bill—a meas- ure of infinitely greater congressional mo- ment than Gladstone's home rule legisla- tion—Mr. Thomas Brackett Reed should sneeringly and emphatically address Mr. ‘William S.

Constantine Buckley and Commodore Clifton R. Breck- tnridge should espouse Mr. Holman’s cause and proceed to develop hostile intent, where male, ended their careers within an hour. None of the Ogallalas or Brules mentioned had anything to do with the fight; Big Foot was at the head of his aggregation of horse thieves, and when he and his medi- cine man, Sits Straight, were killed there was no leader. That night the seventh re- turned to Pine Ridge, and on the following day, while making a reconaissance in force, struck less than a hundred hostiles west of the Drexel Mission. The mission was not attacked and never was in danger from the Sioux. The latter were after the seventh, and had not Col Guy V. Henry arrived with his battalion of the ninth there was easy probability of a repetition of the Cus- ter defeat, for the Indians had split For- sythe’s command and were slowly and sure- ly closing in on the outwitted subdivisions. ‘The ninth did the fighting at the mission. It is most unfair to charge Young-Man- Afraid-of-His-Horses with being « leader of the hostiles; from the beginning he worked for peace, and to him, more than to any one else, was due the speedy cessation of hostilities. He is dead now, but Two Strike, reported to have been killed, is as much alive as ever. With these few excep- tions the Times has stated the conditions with admirable accuracy. oe Thoughtfully and with a thorot lucia comprehension of the subject the deiphia Ledger discusses “the trolley in Washington.” The Quaker City {is just now in the unyielding grasp of the trolley trust, and like all other busy centers finds it much more of a dangerous nuisance than ‘&@ convenience, and this expected discovery very easily explains the Ledger's interest in the renewal of a struggle which comes with Congress. It is undoubtedly true that the trolley companies in other cities are using their every influence to bring about the invasion of Washington by the “cheap and nasty” motor and the reason for this concerted action is evidently as plain to the Ledger as it is to The Star. “Trolley companies in other cities,” says the Ledger, “are anxious to break down the opposition to the trolley in Washington for a sub- stantial business reason. If Congress should remain firm, necessity, the mother of in- vention, will force the Metropolitan Com- Pany to devise and adopt a superior sys- tem of car propulsion, and the immediate fect of the adoption of such a system at Washington and successful operation on ® large scale, will be a refusel to grant trolley privileges in other cities and a de- mand that the trolley shall be abandoned where it is already in use. The success of any rival system at Washington would doom the trolleys elsewhere.” Of the truth of these statements there can be no doubt and it is the duty of every sensible and unprejudiced American—for this city is the nation’s capital—to protest through his Senators and. Representatives against any retrogressive congressional action such as the trolley companies are going to urge. This is a model city. Thou- sands of miles of wire used for electrical purposes have been buried beneath the street surfaces in response to modern law and there is not a single valid reason why Sreedy corporations should be granted per- mission to encumber our thoroughfares with poles and wires.

Then imagine the scene when Gen.

Who could withstand the onslaught? And when Private John Allen lands on the prostrate form of Corporal Elijah Adams Morse how may murder be prevented?

Foolish and partisan efforts to alarm the public mind have alleze4 that two hundred or more banks had failed and those same misstatements naturally result- ed in exaggerated ideas which in turn did damage where there was ro good reason for any disturbance. But un extenston of the scare is hardly possible, in the face of the information presented by the control- ler’s figures. There are 37% national banks in the United States. Of these 15 have suspended since January 1. Fourteen have reopened their doors, while 63 have made application to reopen and will doubt- Jess soon receive the necessary permission. ‘The calamity howler has heen trying to convince the thoughtless that most of the banks were either gone or goins; the con- troller’s exact statement shows that less than three per cent have been affected and of these a respectable proportion is once more engaged in the transaction of busi- ness. —_++-+—__ The Brooklyn trolley yesterday threw a Wan sixteen “feet, injuring him fatally.

Properly eulogizing the erection of a monument at Fort Riley to the United States soldiers—of- ficers and enlisted men of the seventh cav- alry—who were killed at the battle of Wounded Knee, the Kansas City Times Proceeds to play all manner of solemn pranks with the facts. It alleges that the battle of Wounded Knee took place at the Drexel Mission on the evening of December 29, 1890; that the Indians had gathered there for the purpose of destroying the Mission buildings; that the seventh cavairy arrived fm time to engage the Indians; that a ter- rifle encounter ensued; that twenty-four ‘United States soldiers were killed and of Indians between seventy-five and one hun- dred; that among the Sioux leaders were | High Hawk, Little Wound, Big Road, Two Strike, Fire Lightning, Young-Man-Afraid- of-His-Horses and Spotted Elk; that Two Strike and Little Wound were in command, and that since the battle~some months ago —Two Strike had been shot and killed. To be sure the matter is not of great im- portance, but as there will probably never ‘again be as big a ‘ight between troops and Indians as reddened ghe ground at Wound- ed Knee it is just as well to correct such Temarkable errors now. The battle of Wounded Knee took place near the Indian village of Wounded Knee and more than twelve miles from the mission. The con- fiict was the result of the refusal of Big Foot's captured band of Minneconjous to surrender their arms to Col. Forsythe, who fomanded his regiment—the seventh, cav- alry—in the field. Twenty-five soldiers were killed and others died some days later; one hundred and sixty Indians, male and fe- that he does not want. —_ + «= ____ SHOOTING STARS. An Adaptatior.

Saturday was a dull day in grade crossing circles. Only two persons were ground up. J, C. Campbell was killed at Rockwell and Hayward streets and Gawoll Ferelanski was fatally mangled at Canal street. The electric cars, however, which are becoming dangerous rivais of ‘the steam railroads, supplied a third victim in the person of John Parsons, who was instantly killed by a Calumet car. ‘This brought the figures up to the daily average of three, and there 13 little doubt that this number will be main- tained, 1f not increased, during the year. eee A Story With a Moral, From the Alphareta (Ga.) Free Press. Jim Smith has been trying to sell his hog this week. He borrowed a pair of curling irons and curled the hog’s tail to give him a thrifty appearance, but he got | the trons too hot and singed the hair pretty badly, which was a dead give-away. THE EVENING STAR: THE WEEK. After a period of great business anxiety, marked by the failure or suspension of many banks, there is now every reason for believing that the worst is past, and that within » little while there will be satisfactory resumption of that prosperity which has been such @ gratifying feature of American life for 80 many years. A large number of the banks that have suspended are now making prep- arations to resume business; a not very dif- ficult matter, because most of them, in fact, all of them, possess assets that are far in excess of the liabilities, but owing to the stringency of the money market found themselves unable to realize upon the se- Curities which were their main financial yereat has been pias in Colorado, but even there @ outlook is much more cheerful, for sev- eral of the large Colorado silver mines have resumed operations, and are storing the output in smelters, there to be kept until there is a better market for the white metal than seems to exist at present. Believing government one for the sliver bullion foveramen more for the silver bullion it ‘purchases than the same bullion was Worth in market, the Secretary of the has not bought even one-half of ‘the 4,500,000 ounces which the law calls upon him ‘to purchase every month. Next to finance, the topic of greatest interest is as to the suspension of pensions on the order of the Secretary of the Interior. A large number of veterans have been notified that they will not receive any more pensions until they have re-established their claims. ‘The world's fair closed its gates last Sat- urday night and kept them closed all Sun- day, a somewhat surprising act on the part of the management, and one which has brought about a renewal of the fight in the courts, for one of the holders is going to insist that the remain i all the week through. ie congrega~ Ive feature of the Columbian exposition has been the assembly of commercial trav- ellers, of whom there were not less than 12,000 ‘in session at one time.

The French government is looking after and protecting what it calls its interests and its dignity, but in the do- ing of this there seems to be no considera- tion whatever for Siam. Gladstone’s home- rule bill is now practically through the house of commons, and no matter what hap- ns to it in the house of lords it will long Be remembered as having caused the great: est row in the commons that ever took place over any measure, for on Thursday night many members engaged in a free fight because Joseph Chamberlain and T. P. O'Connor exchanged objurgations. ‘The naval court martial over the loss of Her majesty’s battle ship Victoria rendered a verdict which exonerates Capt.

From Japan comes a statement to the effect that Prince Yorobipo, a near and dear relative of the emperor of the Japanese, ts going to visit the United States within. the coming month. Information from Russia is to the effect that the Rus- sian legation at the national capital is soon to be raised to the rank of an embassy. Servia has a crisis, but it {s not of any im: portance—just the regular semi-weekly In Washington. The mercury in the thermometers has been about the only portion of the local community which has shown any especial energy during the past week. This ele- ment, however, has been active enough to make up for any shortcomings in other di- rections. On one day during the week the heat record for the year was broken, the weather bureau thermometer registering 91.2 degrees for a short time. There have been movements in other circles, however. The most important event of the week has been the rendering of the indictments by the grand jury against Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse for the loss of life in the Ford's Theater building collapse and the arraignment of the men in the court and thetr pleading not guilty to the charge. The resignation of President Pearson of the Metropolitan railway and the election of W. J. Stephenson to the presidency have drawn attention again to that road and started rumors in regard to the possible plans of the company in view of its failure to change its motive power as ordered by Congress. During the week the arrange- ments for the celebration of the centennial of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol have progressed materially. The saddest event in the week's history has been the death of Dr. Batchelor, grand commander of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite. iT 1 ih H 1=1-1-1-1-1-1-!
