THE EVENING STAR. —— WASHINGTON. = CRosBY 8. NOYES. Editor. ‘HE EVENING STAR has a regular and bermanest circalation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the ety. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- rertising Medium it has no competitor. SSS ESS That there are many, too many, unem- Ployed men in the United States at this time is one of the saddest of facts, but let no one permit his or her mind to run away with the idea that all the men who pre- tend to be im search of employment are Feally anxious to iabor. This season of comparative depression has been a most Successful one for the worthless specimens of mankind who professionally shirk any- thing that looks like manual labor. Of all the many cities that have suffered from claimed that they also lacked bread and it agreed that employment should be for all or nearly all the able bodied who, by daily assemblages on the front and the continuous use of in- cendiary language, threatened the peace of the World's Fair city. The first effort to make that promise good was a complete failure in one respect, but viewed from many nien. Last Monday 46) of the idle ones were given a chance to earn brea‘ and butter by assisting in the canal con- struction. Only 320 responded and reported on the ground, but the toll was too much for nearly a of them. The big, broad shouldered fellows who had been posing as miners who were accustomed to all manner of hardship in delving for deep-bidden ore laid down their picks and shovels, forsook the wheelbarrows with which they had been provided, and proclaimed themselves too tired to even finish out the day. When the time came to quit, but five of the 330 ‘were there to receive the tickets which are Gistributed every evening to those who stay with their jobs until the day {s done. Better proof of the freely-made charge that the greater proportion of the most demon- strative of Chicago’s so-called unemployed are simply “tramps” could not be found. ‘The cry for work of such imposters is a deceit and their demand for bread as im- pertinent and unreasonable as the request of a burglar or a highwayman. ——_~+ eo ‘The public schools will not be open on Monday, September 13, so those correspond- ents who have been giving utterance to ex- Pressions of fear as to children who would have no opportunity to witness the impres- sive ceremontes that are planned for that day need worry no longer. It bas been de- creed that Monday next 1s to be a public holiday, and for the schools to remain in session would be impossible. The little ones ‘are to be at liberty to see everything they ean and to hear as much as they want to hear. It has been suggested that they be siven an opportunity to join in the parade, but a few minutes devoted to thought should convince every one that the youngsters will be better off on the sidewalks and in the ‘windows and doorways than they would be in the great column. No matter how short the route or how brief the program at the Capitol the children would suffer from weariness such as is not likely to be theirs if they are merely spectators. To move them in line would be practically imposs!- ble unless they had previously been well- drilled, and did they march less than six- teen or twenty abreast they would make the procession much too long aither for their own or any one else's comfort. The present arrangements are all right. The big folks will parade and the little ones may*look on and applaud. —~+-o—____ Every man and woman in this city who can possibly scrape together a sufficiency of cash—and the sum need not be very large— should make an effort to visit Chicago while the World’s Columbian Exposition remains open. Of course, there will be other great expositions, here and in other lands, but none of them will materialize for several years, and the chances are that for half a century to come the magnificent fair at Chicago will not be eclipsed. Astounding inventions, some of them half revealed even now, are going to be central objects of inter- est in future aggregations of the beauty and utility of human skill and energy; but taken as a whole it is hardly probable that Chi- cago’s glory will be dimmed by any com- petitive effort of which the coming genera- tion may be capable. Even a week in Jackson Park will add to the intelligence and give breadth to the knowledge of anyone who will journey thither. Many Washingtonians have visited the fair and are with us again. ‘They unite in declaring that living expenses are moderate and that the trip is worth many times the modest sum which must be expended. Go to Chicago. a An Italian proverb has ft that it Is a fucky household where the first-born is a sirl. Mr. Cleveland may be regarded as doubly fortunate. — e+ Canada in developing her resources should see that the smuggling industry does not Bet too much attention. —_+e-___ All the world’s a stage and the Senate 4s giving us a good imitation of a Chinese play. ——_+ + ___ In this age of acrid debate it ts hardly possible that lovers of controversy who are also enthusiastic bellevers in the supremacy of those so frequently regarded as weaker in point of sex, will permit even the bril- Nant argument thet Helen Watterson makes in the September Forum to pass by without essault. With keenness the like of which Dut few men could equal the highly gifted authoress discusses “Women’s Excitement Over Woman." ‘his hysterical subject she handles with marked ability and with an evident and most refreshing disregard that conventional politeness which clothes thought in misfit garments that make recognition almost impossible. Her treatment of womankind is fairness itself and frank to an extreme. Starting out with the text that “When God made man and prouounced him good, woman, it is humbly but firmly maintained, was includ- gd im the divine approbation.” Mrs. Moody—| for that has been Helen Wattersoa’s name for fully two years—insists that “it is well to recall this fact, since to any thoughtful ebserver of women today, this half-and- more of humanity which is not man seems smitten as with an uneasy sense of having, with cousiderable ostentation, to account for itself and to justify its creation.” It ts admitted that in the beginning woman Probably shared with man that wholesome Faluctance to work which he is still natural enough to manifest, but the day wo- | men’s {dling has gon and now, says their friendly critic are in the pro-| fessions, in commerce, in trad. politics, | im finance and in men's attire. ‘They own ships and run them, they raise live stock on western farms and make fortunes, they speculate in stocks and mu vast philanthropie kers, butchers, barbers, a S. poets, seulp- | tors and lady managers. There is probably Ro reason why they may not yet be tailors | and teiegraph linemen, the two trades which a thoughtful man has recently foted as the only trades in which women ‘gre not at present visibly employed.” Woragn may Bow do almost anything that her physical se for es, they are ba-| ' ologist insists that the individual wrongs from which individual women suffer are not to be righted by papers in congresses, nor can the sex-wrongs from which all women are supposed to be suffering be otherwise than aggravated when made the subject of excessive consideration. In the matter of unequal payment for equal work her argument is unanswer- able. Anything that helps to emphasize the fact that women are newcomers in any field of work, says Mrs. Moody, tends to lower directly the wages of that work; any- thing that helps to arouse the prejudices of men, and so keeps up an unfair discrimina- tion against women-workers, tends direct- ly to depress wages; anything that intro- duces a false distinction into work—and the sex distinction 1s a false one—will lower wages; any sentimental consideration that serves to obtrude the fact that women are not equal to men in units of horse power, is sure to lower wages. “The fact is”—and here there can be no doubt about the em- phasis—“women-workers are at a consider- able physical disadvantage in comparison with men, and the less said about it, the better.” Mrs. Moody thinks that intangi- ble affair called the “Woman Question,” is something of which men are already very tired, and of which wamen ought to be; she sees no reason why there should be a Woman's exhibit at the world’s fair, and 1s evidently satisfied that to make a separate exhibit of woman’s work does no honor to ‘women, no matter how good the work may be, for “it seems to make a marvel of what is no marvel at all, namely, that women are as capable as men in most things, more capable than men in many things, and ut- terly incapable of a few things that men do very well.” Such an exhibit, she claims, does great injustice to womankind, for “with all their wide opportunities for work outside the home, the majority of women elect the work that keeps them within its walls, They neither paint pictures, nor carve statues, nor write books, nor invent things, but they rear their sons in the ways of upright men and teach their daughters the glory of womanliness. They are the friends and counselors of their husbands.” Who shall successfully dispute Mrs. Moody's conclusion that the real emanci- pation of woman will come only when she is emancipated from herself? ° ++ —_—_. Steadily and surely the business condi- tions in this country are improving and al- though many manufacturing establishments —some of them very important concerns— are still idle and unprofitable, it is easily probable that before many months the growth of healthy activity will restart every wheel. That stocks are stronger is a less satisfactory sign than the fact that many more works opened up during the past week than closed down !n that period. In some instances resumption has only been brought about by the co-operation of employes who, recognizing the forcefulness of the truism as to half a loaf being vastly superior to no bread, accepted reduced com- pensation and promise to be content there- with until industrial affairs are more buoy- ant than now, In the money markets there is evidence of returning confidence snd al- though the volume of loans is as yet far from what it was six months ago it is large enough to be seen and refreshing enough to irrigate what for some time have been arid lands of commerce and investment. Extremely rapid improvement need hard- ly be expected at this time. This is an elastic sort of a country, but it cannot re- cover instantly from such depression as has existed throughout the summer. “An even upward tendency 1s all that should be looked for at this time. The causes which Tesulted im such distress as will make 1993 & year to be remembered were sjow in their operation and recovery has been and prob- ably will be no less deliberate. ——_+e+___ The city police force is just thirty-two years of age today. It is not nearly as large as it ought to be—a condition natur- ally consequent upon a lack of nourishment —but it is healthy and active and generally @ credit to the community. Of those who were sworn in thirty-two years ago but five are now In the department—thoroughly good officers and worthy the respect every- where paid them. Police methods have changed considerably since the Metropolitan force began to exist but Washington’s pre- servers of the peace have kept pace with the march of progress and are fully capable. Congressional attention has often been di- rected to the deficiency as to numbers and in a hesitating, grudging sort of way there has been about twenty-five per cent of a response. More money and more men are the principal needs of the department so ably commanded by Col. W. G. Moore. The city grows rapidly and with its extension should be commensurate increase in the important matter of police protection. —_+ ++ —___ It would be interesting to know just what kind of retaliation China meditates for the pictures which have been published of her prominent people in this country. — +> The Omaha Bee unkindly intimates that Mr. Peffer not only has long whiskers, but is hatr-brained. ——_+-+-___ ‘The question before the House of Lords appears to be “what are you going to do about it?” , SHOOTING STARS. A Theory. P “Why are the skies so blue?" she quoted from a piece of poetry. And the young man who is in the milk business answered: “That's easy! Just go out after any rain storm and think of the quantity of water that gets into them.” A Difference. ‘Those songs about Promethean fire One day were doubtless right; But now the kind that men desire Is made of anthracite. Preliminaries. “We are going to be very busy from @ew on,” said the weather department employe who has some sporting proclivities. “At what?” “Fixing up the climatic conditions for the coming conteyt between: the public and the coal combin«.” Hamlet's familiar remark to the effect that he wes reading “wonts, words words,” gives rive to the suspicion that Denmark had a Silver debate somewhere in its leg- islative history.
