C3 a THE EVENING STAR. ——— WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. -August 2, 1893. = CROSBY 5S. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR basa regular and _permanest circulation in Washington three tmeslarger than that efany ether paper in the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it hus ne competitor. Public discussion of measures affecting the interests of the city is always to be de- sired and the action of the Northeast Washington Association in calling a meet- ing to discuss the proposal to secure a loan of $10,000,000 to be expended in improve- ments of the city is to be commended. With a view to promote public discussion, and to afford means of arriving, as nearly Possible, at what the sentiment of the ‘The Star has given space to the both, of those who oppose and who favor the project. There were offered for effecting such a appealed forcibly to many. It t improvements which growth of the city, greater outlay if de- reached in the reg- tions, than they if they could be undertaken at once. loan has been urged as a measure my which would save the tax pay- wier burden in the future. other hand citizens more inter- the improvement of the elty within its present limits than in the proposed ex- tensions have urged with force that the! streets and sections yet unimproved inside the city deserve attention before any large outlay is made upon new territory. Then there are other reasons urged which have made labor organizations and other bodies more or less hostile to the project. An im- pression which seems to have influenced the Northeast Washington Association in its action, that the proposal, if not so -in- tended, would in effect, benefit more direct- Jy persons interested in property along cer- tain proposed extensions, has undoubtedly hhad much to do with creating a sentiment adverse to the loan. So far, the discussion to have developed an opposition to the loan project so strong that those who favor it must rally their forces and make @ good showing if they hope to win their at the bar of the public. At any rate that conducted by the Washington Association cannot & good effect, for if the conclu- reached happen not to be those that prevail, it will result only in bring- who can point out and honest discus- can hardly fail in the im benefit to the community. —___+ e=—____ Yachting enthusiasts on this side of the take some comfort from the the American yacht Navahoe yesterday in sailing away from itain’s fleet craft. But for the big con- nor were the Brittannia yesterday's competition; boats to be feared. With light breeze the Navahoe has, as the experts admit, every advantage. Commenting on the American boat the London Times says that it “must be ad- mitted that British yachtsmen thought the Navahoe an outre model and that they had only a moderate opinion of her abilities. She has fairly upset the preconceived opin- fons entertained in regard to her. She ts Femarxably fast. No doubt light weather will prove the Navahoe’s forte. Her cur- and far-from-taking lines seem per- designed for a vessel of the center- i SRBa5 Hilt ef iu et. in the ve i f I ian Herel!

Let the peo- watch and see whether init fee sg E : deaths from that dreaded disease, would doubtless be a feeling of panic, not the neighborhood bat in the country at large. Yet, in the face of the alarming fact that twenty persons were injured and seven Filled in that city by trolley cars during the month of July last, are powerful interests at work to se- introduction and use of that death-dealing device on the street car lines this ‘city. Human nature is a queer thing, isn’t it?—especially when in pursuit ——__+-+s____ Every law-abiding citizen—and there are many such in Washington—must commend those officers of the police department who by extraordinary vigilance are making things extremely uncomfortable for the eriminals who operate what are known on the streets as “speak-easies;” dens of the | vilest description in which men and women | —generally the most depraved—drink | surreptitiously-vended liquors and plan all sorts of deviitry. Washington has i ber of those undesirable places has doubt- | Jess increased. They are demoralizing in | the extreme and if permitted to exist will breed a most infectious and dangerous con- tempt for the statutes and for decency. The successful activity of a few of the city’s policemen should stir the majority to emula- tion and to the possesion, not only of a consciousness of duty done but a share of the praise which is being so plentifully be- stowed on the more alert guardians of the ‘peace. ————_+ +2 —_____ Senator Sherman appears to be as anx- fous as anybody to get rid of the silver law which bears his name. He evidently thinks that it is time to check the possi- bility of another Frankenstein episode. —__+++ Any utterances that corte from Senator ‘Hil will naturally be expected to show careful editing. Otherwise it will be hard to guess what the Senator has been do- ing with his time. 02 While the World’s Fair management is agonizing and worrying over a score of un-| solved problems the esteemed Philadelphia | Press is getting ready to boom another | great celebration—the first settlement at Jamestown, Va. The colony was organized in 1607, and the memory of the event would | of course be especially revived in 1907. It is possible that the three hundredth anni- versary of Jamestown’s foundation will be marked by such a mammoth industrial ex- position as is now attracting multitudes to the lakeside city. That aggregation of art and ingenuity, great as it is, will be as small, comparatively, as is the centennial when viewed through the eyes that have en- Joyed the wonders of Jackson Park. The exposition of 1907, if there is such a thing, ‘will be one in which the south must have espectal, but by no means exclusive, in- terest, so that the chances are rather favor- able to a location which while geograph- feally southern is politically national. As the Press says, “Jamestown will be ¢s much out of place for such a celebration as the Bahama islané on which Columbus landed, but Washington is near. * * * " Had Congress once more an opportunity to ex- press its judgment as to the place where the world’s fair of 1893 should be held the vote would be overwhelmingly in favor of this city, for here there would have been no divided responsibility, no disgraceful fric- tion between national and local author- ities, none of the many clashings which have hurt the people's dignity. Here the United States government is supreme, and here at the nation’s capital should all na- tional celebrations be held. The conclusion is not a selfish one. Washington has no great factories and is not therefore such a center as would be materially benefited by the presence of great crowds of visitors. A national celebration should be nationally controlled, and that desirable combination 4s only possible in this city of Washington. ——__+++——___ Tt may be all right for the World’s Fair Council of Administration to discharge some of its “secret service” detectives, but they should be careful to retain at least one good man. By and by the council will want to find out who it was that first coupled Chicago and the Exposition, and if they have no good detective talent at there will be no lynching. 2 —_> oe —____ Carter Harrison, in his address of wel- come to the silver men in convention at Chicago, remarked that they had been called “cranks” and assured them that he was something of a “crank” himself. It seems that there is almost no aspect which the protean and affable Carter is not will- ing to assume for the sake of sociability. —__+ +2 A Denver orator advances the theory that if there should be anarchy, the mil- Honaires will be to blame for it. This is a good deal like sympathizing with a burglar because the other man owned something worth stealing. , ———_+++___ Chicago may yet be able to refute the as- sertion that her commerce overshadows her culture, by pointing to the world's fair as an artistic success and a financial fail- ure. —_—_+++_____ The New York cable cars run away in a fashion which fully sustains Broadway's feputation for being a terror in the busy part of the day. ——__+++—___. ‘The blood-and-bridie combination is po- Utieally obsolete. It lives only in litera- ture. ——_+ ++ ___ The world’s fair should never admit that there is danger of its being hoisted by its own Midway Plaisance. ——~+eo___ Slam is possibly to enjoy the luxury of Posing as a disinterested party in its own affairs, ————~ e+ ___ ‘The Ferris wheel will feel less important during the bicycle meet in Chicago. oo SHOOTING STARS. ee An Unkind Inference. “I awsked her which she would pwefer to have me do,” said the conceited man, “sing to her or talk to her. . “And she said ‘talk,’ of course.” o. She said ‘sing’! “Oh—I say, now—that was an injustice.” “What do you mean?” a “Why, you aren't such @ bad conversa- tionalist as all that.” A Choice of Terms. “I’m sure we shall be on good terms,” said the man who had just moved into the neighborhood, to the corner grocer. “No doubt of it, sir. Especially,” he added as an afterthought, “if the terms are cash.” ‘The Easier Way. “What? Go to the ant?” said the sluggard; ~—— & waste of my strength it would ! To the plenic I'll hie and I'll sit by the pie, And there let the ant come to me.” A Question of Definition. “Have you been fishing?” said his father. ‘The boy was silent. There was evidently @ great struggle going on within him. ‘You must answer me, my son; have you been fishing?” . aryuilh father, will you tell me one thing “Yes. What is tt?" “Do you call it going fishing when you don’t catch anything?" He Suspected an Ad. “Oh! she exclaimed as she entered the Police station in a state of great anxiety; “you will help me, won't you!”’ ‘The officer in charge assured her that he would if it was in his power. “I have just met with a great loss,” she continued. “What was it?” Formac I had just finished rehearsal when”— “Excuse me ma‘am, but you're in the wrong place. This is police headquarters. It isn’t any newspaper office.” The Wise Bird. In dreamy contemplation sat A melancholy owl; He had a most impressive blink And awe-inspiring scowl. Some honest wisdom had the bird And, like some men today, He showed his greatest cleverness By what he didn’t say. Hard. “So, you decline to cash this Uttle note of mine.”* . “I'm sorry. But I cannot do otherwise.” “Well, I suppose many men have to come to it. But it’s hard when a man first real- izes that he has outlived his IL. O. Useful- ness."* ——_-e-—____. A Suggestion to Building Inspectors. ‘The indictment of the men who were held to have been responsible for the Ford thea- ter disaster, following as it does the severe finding of the inquest over the victims of the world’s fair holocaust, ought to prove | an_ incentive urging building inspectors throughout the country to exercise their wers with the utmost vigor. We always ear of the calamities that are due to neg- ligence, but can never know how many are averted by the conscientious work of pub- Kc officials. If the consequence of these in- dictments is to increase the latter number their mission will be well fulfilled —Omaha 0 No Difference. ‘There is some discussion as to the re- turning of pauper immigrants by tramp steamers that bring them here. There is ery little room for argument in @ case of that kind. The law requires that pauj be returned by the vessel bringing them here. This law’ is very well understood, or at least ought to be. It makes no dif- ference whether it be violated by a tramp steamer or any other kind; the immigrants must be returned.—Harrisburg Patriot. ree So It Is. Whenever Hawail is offered to Great Britain upon the same terms as to the United States up will go her flag, and no British Blount wi haul it gown, either. Americans who want United ‘States people to live on shore, “and never go to sea,” won't care; but people who are looking to the future of American commerce feel as if the present attitude of the United States toward Hawaii is perpendicularly asinine.— Intgr-Ocean. — +0 France Will Be Reminde ‘When France goes to war again with Ger- many and appeals to the world to remem- ber the high-handed way in whith Alsace and Lorraine were torn from her by the obber's right of force the world will laugh at her as it recalls the spoliation of Siam.— N. Y. Recorder. tee Honorable Politics. A political party can often take honor- able advantage of the blunders of its op- ts, we do not believe that a ‘ble republican hopes that the Blount’s mission to Hawail restoration of a prepesterous een to a patched -up throne—New York ribune. +e. Where the Tramps Go. New York, it seems, Is becoming a favor- {te summer resort for tramps. In the coun- try at this season there is too much work to be done to suit these modern lilies of the valley—New York Telegram. a Trolley Trouble. It looks as if Congress would have to meet the trolley issue. The poisonous serpent is making an effort to wriggle its way into the national capital—New York World.
