4 THE EVENING STAR. VYASHINGTON. SATURDAY. CROSBY 8. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany other paper in the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competiter. [Se What will Congress do? How long will it take to do.it? These are the more im- portant questions asked In financial circles today, but of course they remain unan- swered, and so long as that dublous con- ition remains there is but little chance for @ material improvement of the situa- tion. A considerable increase in national bank circulation may be looked for, and it ‘will relieve many pressing necessities, but until there {s undeniable announcement of Gefinite congressional action on tariff as ‘well as finance there will ve more or less of disturbance in the business world. The national banks are doing their utmost to increase circulation, the unwonted activity in United States bonds showing that con- clusively. Two weeks ago United States four per cents were wanted at Ill, but as the market tightened and money became more scarce those securities were forced out of the savings banks—then searching everywhere for currency—and they dropped more than three points. Since then they have moved up to 1091-2. These dealings have naturally increased the national bank circulation. It is stated authoritatively that the banks in New York city have about $35,000,000 outstanding in clearing house loan certificates, and it is entirely reasonable to suppose that if the savings banks of that city will co-operate the result will be the adding of not less than $10,000,000 to the na- tional bank circulation within twenty days. fuck a move would be in the right direc- tion, but ft may not go beyond compara- tively narrow bounds. Congress must act. ‘The repeal of the Sherman law, coupled with the removal of the tax on the circu- lating notes of state banks, would result in @ largely increased and amply secured cir- culation, but there is strong dissent from that proposition. Basing our conclusions on many inter- views with members of Congress, it would seem as though the tendency was much too heavy on the side of financial discussion and too light as to the tariff problem. It must not be forgotten that during the last campaign the democratic voice threatened complete destruction to protection, and al- though many of the rather alarming prom- ises have not yet been made good, it is only natural that manufacturers should be shaky and that many“ once productice manufactories are shutting down. A very large proportion of the purchasers of the country await the coming of the low price era prophesied by so many stump orators last fall, and their waiting policy in the matter of purchase, except for present necessities, has aided the stagnation and helped the stringency. Congress should not hesitate. It should declare itself as to what it is going to do about the tariff at the earliest possible moment, and by this course either relieve the painful and dangerous suspense or else give business men an op- portunity to so readjust themselves as to fit new conditions. —_—__ +++ Minister Paramount Blount fs a most in- considerate and inconsistent man. From the day when he first stood on Hawaiian soil he has associated closely with the ruins of an absurd and rotten monarchy, evidently deeming inferior those who were endeavoring to build up a strong, clean and honest government for a misgoverned land. In many ways and at various times he has caused the provisional powers much discouragement and inconvenience the while he was Injecting hope into false hearts and bringing smiles to the faces of those whom the decent majority had prop- erly deemed unfit to rule fellow beings. When Correspondent Nordhoff of the New York Herald, willfully maligned the tempor- gry government and charged its members with offenses the like of which royalty alone had been guilty of, it was the para- mount representative of the United States who stood between the ex-queen’s cham- pion prevaricator and justly-offended law. Some little time since Claus Spreckels de- parted from Honolulu for San Francisco, and, as has previously been detailed, was the recipient of a gold headed cane, pre- sented by Liliuckalani and her closest friends. The inscription on the cane head referred to the provisional gove-nment as “the murder society,” and to this senti- ment the ex-queen and Minister Blount’s names were first inscribed, the one tn close Juxtaposition to the other. Now Minister Blount claims that his name was used without authority, this is denied by such @ prominent foyalist as Charles Creighton. The provisional government wants Creighton to apologize to Minister Blount and that Creighton refuses to do, alleging that the minister is not offended and does not ask for any apology. Mr. Blount ought to direct the provisional government to shut up. He should at least stick to his friends. ee ‘The celebration of the Capitol corner- stone centennial bids fair to be a credit- able and imposing demonstration, Active and intelligent work 1s being done by com- petent committees and these labors promise mos: satisfactory results. Especially prom- iment at this time are the efforts which are being made to bring together and train a chorus of not less than one thousand singers—an undertaking of considerable magnitude to which the musicians have heartily addressed themselves. Success is an easy probability, so those who attend the exercises on September 18 may expect to be thrilled by the aggregated and har- monfous force of a thousand trained voices rendering the airs that are so closely associated with our history — patriotic compositions of which this nation will never become weary. Washington is a musical city. There are more good musi- cians here in proportion to the population than in any other city in the country, and the standard of excellence is very high. Knowledge of this fact emboldened the committee to attempt the organization of such a grand chorus as has been planned. It ts hoped that all the really excellent singers in the District will promptly tender their services to the sub-directors—whose have been printed in The Star—arid thus facilitate the work of rehearsal. The musical enthusiasm has spread to the sur- rounding country and each of the suburban towns within easy reach of Washington will contribute of its vocal powers to the chorus. The eighteenth day of September will not soon be forgotten. ——- - +02 ‘The Portland Oregonian rejoices in the possession of a new building. and as a fea- ture of the celebration which properly at- tends on the completion and occupation of such a magnificent structure as the building in question is, has issued a most interesting and artistically illustratet pamphlet in which is told the story of the paper. The Oregonian has every reason to be proud of itself, but it will never stand as high in its own estimation as it does in the esteem of people who love a good newspaper. —_~ e+ While the people of the United States are anxiously awaiting the appearance of Pres- ‘dent Cleveland's finance-shaping message to the extra session of C which con- venes on Monday next some of Queen Vic- torla’s subjects are at 46 reading in that document the ground plan of a largely-extended Civil Service reform So says the London Daily Telegraph. it declares that the President, who is eulogiz- ed for boldness, signs of his determination to wrestle with a number of i tablished usages in the domestic policy of the country; usages which he and a considerable party who hold his views declare to be so many public evils and perils to the national prosperity. The remedy is an extension of the civil service and the adoption of the main fea- tures of the system as pursued in Great Britain. And at that point the Telegraph er-enthusiastic and as an easy ce trips over Its own feet and falis all over itself. It is merely the plain truth to sta » President has been the enormous ring for place, iting Mr. Cleveland With the possession of angelic attributes has given not a few | when it says that he has expressed himself as distinctly in favor of the employment of those who are best qualified to fill situations in the government offices, “quite regardless of any political consideration which may be pressed on his notice." The President's appointments have, in the main,been good, but up to this time political considerations have prevailed with what most democrats would regard as praiseworthy unanimity. ‘The new plan, as it comes to us from Lon- don, provides for the examination of can- didates by a board “as completely a stran- ger to partisan influences as the Supreme Court of the United States, the President only reserving to himself the right to ap- point to the very highest offices.” This scheme—rather pleasing in appearance to those who believe in the application of bus- iness principles to governmental employ- ment—is said by the Telegraph to be sure of warm democratic support in Congress and will not meet with any very active hostility on the part of republicans. The conclusion that democratic Congress- men would endorse any such proposition is surely erroneous. The millennium is still out of sight. ~-— --_+ ++ ___ Washingtonians who are inclined to be critical have for some time past been giv- ing free and unlimited utterance to sarcasm which was aimed at the local base ball team, and as the unfortunate aggregation sinks slowly but surely into the only place to which it has the shadow of a title the sarcasm becomes more venomously voluble. This is wrong; it is inexcusable. Some years ago a trooper of the ninth cavalry was driving an ambulance team tnrous= the roughest portion of South Dakota and by his overcaution while on a slippery hill- side upset the conveyance and wrought injury to a couple of the occupants. He was profuse in his apologies and would probably have been apologizing yet had not one of the overturned officers said: “You needn't beg my pardon, you were not re- sponsible. Your Creagor never intended that you should drive an ambulance; He meant you to shovel dirt.” And that !s the situation as to the ball team which beara this city’s name on its aggregative breast and yet manages at the same time to drag that name through the mud. If the men were naturally fitted for such violent ex- ercise as the national game calls for then they could be held to accountability for failure, but in view of their evident unfit- ness for even mediocrity in the field of athletic endeavor ft is extremely unfair to charge them with responsibility. If the management will entertain one or two practical suggestions we will endeavor to show how the situation may be readjusted so that the nine could do themselves credit and at the same time contribute to popular pleasure. Instead of prancing over the diamond and its turf-covered vicinage they might each be burdened with a full-size hod and, a sufficiency of Indders having been provided, then be called upon to prove which could carry the most brick in the least time from the street to the top of a five-story building; in this way they would limber up thelr muscles and do real good. After a few days hodcarrying might be monotonous (although there would be va- riety in the releasing of men who slipped off the ladder near the top floor and the engaging of others more sure of foot), so it would be well to give the players a chance to show folks how they could handle picks and shovels and wheelbarrows in the work of excavating foundations and cellars, and once in awhile arrangements shonid be made for a great competitive exhibition of wood-chopping and sawing in the tall grounds. This popular idea that because our team cannot play average ball {t is of no account is most unfair. —__+ 2 ____ Compelled by congressional niggardliness to dependence upon individual lMberality many companies of the District National Guard this year go Into camp at their own expense. Some will go to Virginia, some to Maryland, others to New Jersey; all have it on their program to add to their store of military knowledge; all will shed luster on the reputation of the local brigade. That the command fs effective is most creditable, for there has been a succession of adverse circumstances which would have discour- aged men less actively tenacious than Gen. Ordway and his faithful coadjutors. While wideawake states have been appropriating reasonably large sums for the support of their soldiers, Congress has been unfairly selfish as to one of the best brigades in the country. Sufficient money should be pro- vided for the establishment of an annual en- campment at Fort Washington. When men are willing to devote the time necessary to make them fairly proficient in military duties, the governing power—whether it be state or national—will, if it is sensible, meet them at least half way. The time may cme, and probably will, when this re- public will have urgent need for every na- tional guardsman. If the appropriations were made in a business-like way the en- campments could be had for the sum now expended in other directions. Evecy year so much money is set aside for armory rents, and from this one item alone enough could be saved for a brigade camp did Congress only build a suitable armory for the entire command. Capitalization of the amount paid for rented premises would do very much more than erect such a building as is needed. To be truly economical Congress must spend a little more money at one time. —_+ ++ Congress in session means a great deal Washington. This time it means the poke ing up of many congressional homes at least three months earlier than usual and with the probabilities that once the domes- tie machinery {s set in motion it will con- tinue to operate until June roses bloom again. The cabinet families either are or soon will be here, and in the ordinary course of events must remain here for sev- eral months. With the presence of the gcv- ernment’s official heads and of most of those folks whose personality and hospital- ity assist in making the national capital one of the most unique and interesting cities in the world there is no good reason why that undeniable power commonty call- ed “society” should not have a great big inning. It will have much to 9, for politi- cal asperities must be tempered, and there are clouds that need to be brightly lined. National legislators are going to be called on for a more than ordinary amount of of- ficial labor, but there is here every tempta- tion for the tired man to rest and enjoy himself. It can be stated on the authority of the greatest travelers that so far as phy- sical comfort is concerned it is tmpossible to strike a better average—climatological or otherwise—than in this clty by che Poto- mac; a fact well worth remembering. With- in the city limits are thousands of beauti- ful homes, without the boundary but eas! to be reached are places of reaidence every whit as desirable. Of formal social events there will be none during the present month, but in September there will be ant- mated social life; and the activity will know no cessation until the coming of mid- summer heat almost a year hence. —_~++____ It is to be deeply regretted that a sense of duty compelled lady managers of the World's Fair to behold dances on the Midway Plaisance which they afterward denounced as degradingly indecent. It 1s also a sad reflection on masculine veracity that no man could be selected to make the investigation upon whose report the lady managers could rely. —_—__++--__—__ ‘The anarchist paper, “The Flaming Torch,” will not find a periodical worthy of its exchange list until Colorado comes out with “The Bloody Bridle.” ‘The arrival in Washington of Congress- man Champ Clark guarantees that ele- ment of picturesque originality without | which no Congress is complete. — An Indian chief in Florida has broken out into war, The fact that he is known as Little Tiger may entitle him to some as- sistance from Tammany. —— Health Officer Jenkins of New York has declared a rigid and sensible quarantine against the cholera scare. en It {s a question as to whether Theodore ‘Thomas has produced more harmony or dis- cord at the World’s Fair. ——_++o____ If Europe will send back America’s gold and keep her cholera to herself the coun- try will do very well indeed. ——__ + +2 The South American revolution shows more persistence than novelty.
