4 eS THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY. ...._..-...... October 6, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Eaditor. HE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has Re competit: o7 Letters to THE STAR should be so uddressed, or to the Editorial or Bust- mess Department, according to their If the intimations that are finding their ray to the public ear through the medium of administration organs are approximately accurate it can reasonably be concluded that ‘the President disapproves of good govern- ment in the only section of the earth out- side of the United States where his disap- proval is of much moment. For many months ‘the people of the Hawaiian Islands and other people whose material interests are dependent to a considerable extent upon political conditions in the one-time Pacific Kingdom, bave waited for an opinion from tthe executive branch of the forces that rule the United States, but up to the present ‘ime no word has been vouchsafed and as a matural consequence conditions in Hawail ‘mre far from tranquil. But, even as gas es- apes through imperceptible orifices, the rumor comes from what seems to be an authoritative source that President Cleve- Jand will urge non-action on the part of this country until the inhabitants of Hawatt —white, brown and yellow, learned and un- learned, clean and filthy, civilized and bar- darian, bond and free—express their prefer- ‘ences at the polls. This decision is probably im accord with that reached by Minister Paramount Blount and recorded in the re- port which Mr. Blount and Mr. Charles Nordhoff of the New York Herald went to Hawaii for the purpose of making. Spe- ctously presented to unthinking people, the general election scheme seems reasonable, but under the circumstances it is nothing more nor less than the only way in which ‘the United States government can place the ‘American-haging Liltuokalant on the thron: and that is what the administration seems ‘dent upon doing. It is estimated that there ‘fare about $,000 native voters on the islands; ‘the foreign vote is more than 3,000. Only 1,90 voters are of American descent, but this minority, interested in a modern form of government, owns much more than sixty per cent of the property and does over eighty per cent of the business. They would be outvoted by the employes of Claus Spreck- els on his sugar pi-rtations—beings, who are but one remove from savagery and whose condition is so closely akin to slavery inat the difference is not always apparent to the average beholder. ‘The immediate consequences of a return to power of Queen Liliuckalan! would be most demoralizing. For many years some of the most devoted religious workers the ‘world has ever known have labored for the selvation of the Hawallan people, and their efforts have resulted in an elevation of the moral tone as pleasing to decent people as fit has been disgusting to the leprous-minded horde that has ever surrounded the so-called royalty which once reigned at Honolulu. A relapse into the condition of barbarian mon- archy could not fail to bring with It such a Jowering of the moral tone as would prove to be much more of a burden than Presi- dent Cleveland could well bear. Honolulu ‘would become the headquarters of the great lottery company that so nearly succeeded 4m getting possession through the ald of the late queen. The opium smugglers, the gam- blers and thousands of other equally unde- sirable persons, who have steadily tried to ‘break down the missionary influence, would ome into control. Wholesale degradation of the natives would surely follow and, to sum up the almost certain possibilities in a sentence, the civilizing Influences of genera- tions of missionary effort would be wiped out instantly. Surely it is not President Cleveland's purpose to aid those unprinetpied wretches who would delight in the ruin of thousands because the demoralization and destruction would bring to the destroyers great financial profit. —_ + «= —__ That the effort to bring about the first race in the series for the America’s cup should hove failed because there was an in- sufficiency of wind was unfortunate, and viewed from the American standpolat, w doubly unsatisfactory ‘because even in tae drifting match which took place the Eng- lish yacht was victorious. There is gen- eral impression to the effect that the semi- contest of yesterday proved nothing, but experts who ought to know all about it say that several things were proven, and that some of them were quite surprising. One of the things shown—and it shocked many people—was the fact, says the New York Times, “that the Vigilant fs a faster boat than the Valkyrie running before the wind in a very light breeze. This is sur- prising because on this point of sailing the cutter has heretofore shown her superiori- ty to the sloop. Under these conditions the Genesta beat the Puritan and the Thistle beat the Volunteer. On the other hand the only bit of windward sailing that was per- mitted by the sudden shift of the wind, of which the Valkyrie took prompt advan- tage and the Vigilant did not, was the lat- ter part of what was meant to be the run down the wind.” The indications there- fore are that when sailing in a light breeze, and close-havled, the Valkyrie is the super- for. It yet remains to be seen as to which of the two boats is, as a whole, the better one. Another effort will be made to carry out the program that failed yesterday; it ‘will be made tomorrow. In all the yacht- ing history of this country there is no record of such intense enthusiasm as was apparent yesterday, not only in New York, but ail over the country. The contest is more important than any that has up to this time taken place, for it will probably Fesult in the establishment of a type of construction than which nothing more speedy is likely to be evolved. Resistance to fluid influences has been reduced to a minimum, and ability to capture and make use of every vagrant puff of wind has about the limit of human ingenuity. —_~+eo— No theosophist politician has yet come forward with an allegation that he saw Senator Hill's astral body at the New York democratic convention. —_+-+___ ‘There are intimations that the race for nominations at Saratoga partakes of the mature of a hippodrome. —e>—___. Possibly the President desired to get the one democrat who wears a monocle out of ‘the country. ———__~+e+____ The condition of those unfortunates who have suffered from the violence of unkind nature in the neighborhood of Charleston and on the gulf becomes worse daily. The general public seems to have failed to real- tze the extent of the damage done or it would surely have been more liberal in its contributions for relief. The Star has more than once called attention to the conditions which prevail In the south, and it does so again because it hopes by reiteration to im- Press upon the charitably inclined the neces- sity for prompt and liberal action. When there was famine in Russia thousands of people contributed with haste to relieve the starving ones of another nation, but there fs slackness now when our own are in need. In an official report to the executive officers of the Red Cross Society, Miss Clara Bar- ton, who has undertaken to direct the relief movement on the Sea islands of South Carolina, says: “This without doubt will involve upon us the heaviest and longest continued work yet carried on in this country. With winter approaching, with all crops destroyed over a space of forty by @ hundred miles tn extent, with 30,000 tn- habita one-fourth of them homeless, houses, cattle, fowls, tools and all accumu- lations swept into the sea, their little boats which would enable them to fish also THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, FRIDAY.

It ts not alone charitable work; it is sharp business work that {s called for. “It is a harder field than Johnstown; More people to care for; more destitute and helpless, spread over hundreds of square miles of territory, cut up by streams from ocean size to rivulets, subject to tides and full of malaria and fever. At Johnstown there were $6,000,000 to back up the work; this present work, all told today, could not show $80,000 in funds,”” ‘The headquarters of the association are now at Beaufort, 8. C., to which point all aid should immediately be sent. —++—__ If there was the slightest probability of Congress granting to incousiderate corpora- tions the privilege of operating street-cars through the medium of overhead trolley wires Washington would surely be interest- d in some of the many dangerous happen- ings that are common in those cities which have passed into the possession of the trolley men. Baltimore has fallen into their clutches and when the sensible people of that city stop to figure out their situation they generally indulge in vain regrets. Yesterday evening a trolley wire burned through, broke, and fell in the middle of Baltimore's most crowded thoroughfare. An unfortunate motorman was the only one severely shocked, but there were many Barrow escapes from contact with the squirming wires and the sparks they emit- ted. The resumption of traffic was long de- layed, but that, on an overhead trolley road, is a minor evil. In Philadelphia there is loud complaint because in addition to the other varieties of harm that are being done there is mutilation of shade trees to the end that poles may be erected and wires strung. Electric light men, too, have been equaily reckless as to foliage, and in discussing ex- posed wires the Philadelphia Press says that such conduct as the construction gangs are guilty of is “one of the evils of overhead wires which the city was promis- ing to get away from until the trolley line came down with a new invasion and poles and wires began to multiply without regard to the effect on trees or the wishes of indi- viduals. There seems to be no means of heading or curbing the trolley in this town. It will probably do what it pleases as it has done ever since the Supreme Court made it potential, and the owners of trees will hold them subject to the pleasure of any gang of men who want to erect a pole or put up a wire. ———_+++____ Some time ago a distinguished democratic Senator, in @ speech delivered upon the floor of the Senate, said that in ali his long ex- perience there never had been such accurate work by the enrolling clerks of the Senate as during the past few years. The compli- ment thus made public was called forth by errors in bills made at the other end of the Capitol and due entirely to the political insanity that demands a clean sweep in the offices whenever the political complexion of the majority undergoes a change. Times without number great embarrassment has resulted from the inexperience and ignorance of employes, until at last the blunders came to be known as “legis- lation by enrolling clerks.” Of this the Senate has known nothing for a long time— in fact, that body is indebted to its clerks for the correction of many errors that had escaped the senatorial eye and would have found their way into the acts, but for cleri- cal vigilance. To do the difficult work cf enrolling with the extreme accuracy that should characterize it, the clerk must be possessed of both natural aptitude and educated experience, and it might reason- ably be supposed that when these qualities had been found they would be valuable enough to keep. It seems, though, as if pastisan advantage weighs more heavily than mere merit, for the Senate authorities have been engaged in making changes that may easily cause embarrassment and con- siderable vexation. When a private em- ployer is fortunate enough to secure the services of a capable man he is not likely to make inquiries as to that man’s political beliefs. The example thus set ought to be good enough, even for such a body as the Senate. —__- + 0+ —___ In all this talk concerning Mr. Van Alen there has not been a word of sympathy for him. His monocle has been sneered at and the $50,000 price mark on his fame has been rudely pointed out and ruthlessly jeered at. It is stated and pretty well demonstrated that the salary which he will receive will not do much more than pay the rent of a decent residence for a diplomat. Therefore he can reap no pecuniary benefit from the appointment. If Mr. Van Alen were need- ed by his country at home there would be some excuse for trying to prevent his de- parture. But there is no evidence of such @ sentiment. On the contrary, there seems to be no great need of Mr. Van Alen any- where, and so long as he is willing to squander his financial resources for the sake of official position he should be re- garded with some toleration, if. not with compassion. It is true that he may do something to make the United States look foolish in the eyes of the world; but he would not be altogether a pioneer in such @ performance. The government has had a good deal of trouble with complaints from underpaid employes, and in Mr. Van Alen’s case it has at least the assurance that he will not find fault with the salary, ———_+ e+ ___ ‘The next man who goes into politics with @ monocle will doubtless have the foresight to take out a plate glass insurance policy, The newspapers might do something to- ward shortening debate by cutting Senator Stewart off the exchange list. ————__ + + > __ SHOOTING STARS, What Afled Chelly. “What's the matter with Cholly?” said one young man to another. “He seems very “Oh, he'll come out of it all right.
