4 THE EVENING THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, ‘TUESDAY. November 14, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Was tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. 7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Basi- mess Department, accordi: to their character or purpose, not to any ind vidual connected with the office. Washingtonians who are interested in the United States cruiser Columbia—so named in honor of the District of Columbia—read with pleasure in yesterday's Star the ac- count of the warship’s recori-breaking trip from Philadelphia to Boston. The Columbia is to be officially tested as to the power of her engines and her speed, the trial trip to take place on Thursday over a course laid out between Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise. Prior to the developments of the voyage to Boston there was but little on which to base prophecy as to the seagoing qualities of what may prove to ne the swiftest fighting ship in the navy. An unofficial trial with machinery that was new and comparatively stiff failed to reveal anything phenomenal in the way of movement and perhaps caused a little disappointment, but the run of 407.4 knots from Cape Henlopen to Mimot’s Ledge in 21 hours 52 minutes opens up possibilities that are gratifying. An average of 18.63 knots per hour for such @ period gives calculators reason for be- Meving that the contract requirement of 21 knots per hour will be satisfied without the slightest difficulty. It would not b2 sur- prising should the triple-screw wonder beat 22 knots on the official run and thus eurn for her builders—the Cramps- bonus 2f at least $200,000. The people of the District of Columbia would not pe disvleased if the cruiser that was plannel to be tne swiftest warship afloat should more than fultill the expectations of its designers a-«i construct- ors. ——_>+=—____. A great many Americans may be made to believe that Benjamin Harrison erred in Judgment in deciding that it was wise to annex Hawail, just as they believe that his opinions concerning ‘elections legislation and a high protective tariff were erroneous; but very few indeed will believe that he entered a conspiracy to steal, defraud and oppress, and that to cover his crime he be- came a hypocritical and cowardly liar. Yet to justify its program the administration must convince the American people that all these accusations are true. Americans will be apt to believe and to place confidence in Harrison, Foster, Stevens and the repre- sentatives of the white missionary element on the Islands, sather that the corrupt and unscrupulous woman, who, backed by her paramour and a ring of lottery establishing and opium smuggling adventurers, attempt- ed with a show of force to overthrow the Hawaiian constitution and seize absolute power, and who lost her throne in the at- tempt. ———_ -2-e@ - -—— “There is not an anarchist in the state of Illinois," says Gov. Altgeld in an interview. What a cheerful person it is! The governor ought to be polite enough now to define an anarchist, and to teil just what Messrs. Fielden, Schwab and Neebe really are. It will next be in order for him to classify that freak of humanity, Herr Most, and to give a place in the social system to Enima Goldman, now reposing at Sing Sing. Per- haps the governor is keeping a weather eye to windward for the day when he shall be no longer governor—happily not far dis- tant, im all probability—so that he may go into literature. An essay on social re- formers from his pen should command a big space rate. — —- ++4<--___ When Liliuokalani overturned so far as she was able the Hawaiian constitution and government and sought to set up an abso- Jute imstead of a constitutionally limited monarchy she in effect abandoned the throne which she had occupied under the constitution and endeavored to mount an- other and a higher one. The white property owners and business men, the moral and Fespectable elements of the population, checked her movement toward absolute rule and again checked her when she sought to regain the throne which she had forfeited by abandonment. She cannot reasonably complain, any more than could the greedy dog which lost its bone by snapping at the shadow in the water. ——— +2 ___ Thirty years’ continuous service as pastor of one church, and that an extremely pros- Perous organization. is a record of which both teacher and congregation may well be proud. On Sunday last the Rev. John Ches- ter, D.D., announced his intention to retire from the pastorate of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church when, in April next, he completes the thirtieth year of his active association with the charge. The still ex- isting relationship is remarkable not only for its great duration but also because the church has never had any other pastor. Dr. Chester was the choice of the few who first composed the congregation, and the thousands who acquired membership since have imdorsed the selection again and again. The record is a notable one. —— + e+ ____ With every prospect of a winter during which thousands of the hitherto comfort- able must suffer from cold and hunger, there can be nothing but applause for the sentiment of Governor McKinley of Ohio who, when invited to attend a republican jollification at Akron, first declined, and then said, “These jollification meetings are expensive, and at a time like this, when there is so much distress, it has seemed to me that the money that would be required dent Vasquez had ordered the bombardment of his ship and the order was carried out until the Costa Rica steamed beyond gun- shot. The Honduras government had to lie a little but it was the cheapest way out. By and by Honduras or some other minute nationality will fire upon the Stars and Stripes some more and when called upon for an explanation will cable another apology, which will be received with great rejoicing by those who are delighted when both cheeks have been smitten and who become deliriously ecstauc when we are kicked hard. Sncrenoad SsbiGtij tas the abliaation: activity in the collection and ex- change of news sometimes leads the pessi- mistic among men to the conclusion that this world is very much worse than it was some fifty or a hundred years ago. The conclusion {s erroneous, statistics testify- ing that the proportion of criminality de- creases ag the world grows older, but the error is somewhat excusable because the record of misbehavior presented in the daily Press is so minutely complete as to hy natural birth to startling apprehensiot One hopeful sign—evidence of general pe lightment and a rapid growth of the better qualities—is found in the inability of Cor- bett and Mitchell to find a place within the United States where they can be at Uberty to fight before an audience sufti- ciently large to compensate the pugilists. Active agents have endeavored, but so far without effect, to find a suitable spot where the law and decency could be temporarily paralyzed, and it seems now as though the combat must take place, if it ever comes off, in some other country than this. Several sporting organizations—one at Butte, Mont., another at Denver, Col., and @ third at Jacksonville, Fla.,—have recently offered large purses provided the fight takes place on premises controlled by the respective organizations, but law officers have notified the would-be disturbers of the peace that Interference would be certain | and expensive. Should it be declared im- possible to find in all the republic's vast territory a place where a brutal prize fight may be arranged for and canducted, the condition would be most pleasing to re- spectable Americans. ——+2____ ‘The proclamation of the Hawalian revo- lutionists, which created the provisional government, in a first and distinct clause destroyed the Hawaiian monarchy. It de- clared: “We, citizens and residents of the Hawaiian Islands, organized and acting for the public safety and the common good, hereby proclaim as follows: (@) The Ha- waiian monarchical system of government is hereby abrogated.” The next section cre- ates a provisional government to control until the terms of annexation to the United States can be ascertained. If the United States rejects the advances of the revolu- tionists that are made in accordance with | the second section of the proclamation, the act does not legally restore the previously abrogated monarchy, ‘but merely imposes upon the revolutionary leaders the duty of framing some other permanent form of government than the one contemplated, un- der which Hawaii was to become a part of the American Union. The invitation of the successful revolution, recognized as the de facto government by all the great powers, was that the United States arnex Hawali, not that the United States serve as arbi- trator between the revolution and the ex- queen. The United States can accept or re- ject the offer of annexation and that Is all. It has no right to add to a rejection the overthrow by force of the government which makes the offer. The Queen of Hawai! could not have had a livelier time if she had been a member of the world’s fair board of lady managers. —_+ + _____ Up to date, Gov. Pennoyer’s effort to start @ bear movement in the turkey market has not had perceptible results. —__- oo SHOOTING STARS. “Some dogs,” remarked Uncle Eben, as he restrained his pet canine’s efforts to bite a peddler, “is mos’ like some human folks. Jes ez soon ez yoh gibs 'em nuff ter eat dey ‘gin ter git sassy.” The coat expansive that he wears Makes every draft a cause of fear; For well its tails Might serve as sails And waft its owner far from here. Very Neglectful. “I'm going to dischahge my valet, don’t ¥Yqu know,” said Algernon. “You don’t say or “Ya-a-s." “What has he pee doing?” “It's what he failed to do that makes me angwy with him. Theah was a weal good fog this mohning, quite as fine as the weg- ulah London ahticle, and the stupid didn’t know enough to wake me up so that I could get out into it!” In Hawaii. The queen now smiles persistently— The cause of mirth with ease we note; She rules the land,where, not long since, She didn’t even have a vote, An Exception. “Are you going to—to wear that big hat to the theater?” the young man asked. “Yes, George.” And after a silence, she added, “But I am going to take it off when we get inside.” And that is what confirmed George’s sus- Picions that she is an angel. Inconsequential. “Whutdje t'ink,” said the man with big stripes in his collar, “Do we’s want Hawail, er do we's want it? “Naw. We's don’t want it. Why there ain't enough of der place ter work up er respectable gerrymander in.” for a jollification could be better expended for the benefit of the unemployed and for those distressed.” Celebrations like unto that planned by the republicans of Akron are entirely proper, but in these times of depression the money could reasonably be diverted to another purpose. “Blessed is he that considereth the poor.” ———————+ee—___ If President Peixoto fails to carry through his alleged negotiations by which this country was to purchase and take pos- gession of the warships which Mr. Mello is using, he should not hesitate to offer them gratis to anybody who will agree to re- move the goods on the day of transfer. ———_+ es ____ Congressman Simpson’s allusions to luna- ties, in connection with the recent election, should not lead any of his enemies to at- tack him with remarks about similia simili- bus curantur. ——— +e —____ It remains to be seen whether a success- ful filibuster can be conducted against the One Hope. Since swells fight shy of politics, It must continue bad, Until, by one of fashion’s tricks, It gets to be a fad. Lutky. “Dah's great spoht in de Sandwich is- “Yoh doan say so!”” “"Deed I does.

That should be our pol- icy now. It is not our business either to topple over thrones or to set them up. If | the provisional government can maintaln | itself, well and good—but it must be with- | out the prop of our bayonets. If the roy- | alist party can regain its power we have | no right to interfere. It would be a mon- | strous sp2ctacle after this lapse of time to vigorous movement toward the uncon- ditional repeal of Tammany. ——+r+e2___ Nothing but another Paderewski tour of this country can save the chrysanthemum craze. —_—_+ +s —____ Rio de Janeiro appears to be booked for an indefinite Fourth of July engagement. ——+-s__ __ In spite of the fact that Honduras’ consul- general at New York declared that the forts at Amapala were merely saluting the Amer- ican flag on the steamer Costa Rica the government of Honduras has apologized to the United States for the insult. An official Statement by the State Department says that “the government of Honduras prompt- ly disavowed the conduct of its officers and expressed sincere regret for the occur- rence.” Reliable information from Hondu- ras is to the effect that the president of Honduras specifically ordered the comman- dant at Amapala to get the revolutionist Bonilla, who was on board the Costa Rica, peacefully if he could but by force if not. The Costa Rica’s captain having declined to surrender Bonilla was notified that Presi- see the great republic re-establish a throne —and such a throne! Such a course would give a finale of stupendous stultification to @ year of opera-bouffe diplomacy. ——++s—____. Unsafe to Assume Auything Now. From: the Indianapolis Journal. It is hoped by all patriotic Americans that President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham will not unite with Great Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy to restore monarchy to Brazil, but it will not do to assume that they will not. aninnnbasncnipe itis a | A Demoeratic Opinio: From the Hartford Times. The official letter of Secretary Gresham in favor of the use of the guns of the United States to restore and prop up the fallen and incompetent monarchy in Ha- wall, in the person of the fat ex-Queen Liliuokalani, is evidently approved by Pres- ident Cleveland, or it would not be thus given out. It will prove a very unpopular course for the administration. ————_+ +> __ Knew It All the Time. From the Detroit Free Press. i: McKinley carried Ohio and the Dutch have taken Holland. The latter is rather the more startling of the two statements. STAR: WASHINGTO . D. C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1893—TWELVE BAUM ’S GREAT STAR SALE.
