4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, ...November 18, 1893. CROSBY S$. NOYES................ Editor. ———————— HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a Hews and Advertising Medium it has Be competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual comnected with the office. ee Causes which may profitably occupy the attention of statesmen who can spare a Uttle time from partisan business ha‘ brought into existence a condition the like ef which has not been known in this city for many years; a condition that calls for the immediate exercise of broad and equi- table charity. Throughout a summer that to the business world has been @ succession of financial disturbances, men and women, whose livelihood was imperiled, waited for the coming of the promised brighter day. Summer merged into autumn and yet in- dustries continued to suffer from the par- alysis consequent upon distrust and strin- gency. It was said that relief could only come throvgh legislation and when the House of Aepresentatives voted to remove what many declared was the depressing :n- fluence hope temporarily revived, only to dwindle away as the tardy Senate tor- mented a distressed people. Pressure that could not be resisted finally compelled a vote, but the delay had beea fatal to many interests. A small proportion of the closed factories re-cpened their doors and gave employment to as many as possible of the old hands, tut it was soon evident that rapid recovery from the shock of panic was out of the question. A trickling stream of the country’s hoarded capital found its way into circulation, but it was barely enough to moisten and give a little warmth to the shrunken veins of the man- ufacturing and mercantile body. It is true that the nation now moves steadily toward financial convalescence, but that fact will mot fill the stomachs of the thousands of men and women who today know not where to turn for a sufficiency of the plain- est food, who tremble hourly at the pros- pect of being evicted from once-comfortable homes, and who, if permitted to remain under shelter, for which rent cannot be paid, have no means with which to pur- chase fuel: How many such unfortunates are now in this city is not definitely known, but the number would startle could the figures be obtained and be spread abroad. And yet this community is ccinparatively fortunate. In every other American city there is much more of pinching poverty than is to be found within the District of Columbia. The ratio ox increase of those who must soon perforce seek charity or perish will be less here than elsewhere, but it will be sufficient to tax local benefi- cence more heavily than ever before. To relieve the present and prospective suffer- ing will be a work of great difficulty not only because of the magnitude of the un- dertaking but because also of the character of those, heretofore unaccustomed to being beneficiaries, who will need assistance un- til better conditions prevail. Thanksgiving is at hand and im very many homes the reasons for present gratitude will be few. It is a time when the hearts of the fortu- nate should be uniformly tender and their Bocketbooks be within easy reach. Indis- eriminate giving is frequently condémned and those who indulge in it are often right- fully accused of encouraging pauperism, so it would undoubtedly be best for those who desire to relieve real want to entrust their gifts to one of the recognized dis- tributing agencies. There will be use for every dollar. —_—_+s___ Queen Liliuokalani had not been restored when the Australia left Honolulu, and it 4s safe to say that she never will be restored, certainly not by the aid of American bayo- nets. President Cleveland has learned Amer- ican sentiment on the subject, and he ought to feel very much relieved to find that his administration has not by acts irretrievably fommitted itself to a forcible overthrow of the provisional government and restoration of the queen, and that there is still oppor- tunity for him to retrace his steps. Not only is there little danger now of forcible re- Storation of the queen, but the chances of despairing suicide by the provisional gov- ernment are also materially diminished. It would have been inexpressibly humiliating to every patriotic and self-respecting Amer- ican if the representative of the United States had succeeded, by selecting a time to threaten when the provisional govern- Ment was cut off from communication with the rest of the world, in terrifying that gov- ernment into yielding to the queen, backed by our marines. For the United States to Plan this secret and treacherous stroke against the government which had tendered to us the islands would be cowardly, pusil- Janimous and contemptible to the last de- gree; and to succeed would make the re- public infamous. Now every one can act with his eyes open. Hawaii can do as it pleases, with full knowledge of existing con- ditions. The no news from Honolulu {s the best of news—an unutterable relief to ap- prehensive and indignant American senti- ment. ——- +2 —____ The Star yesterday made some comments based upon a Washington letter of the New York Sun, which described Admirat John Irwin as a brother of Robert Irwin, the Hawaiian Minister to Japan and Com- missioner of Immigration. The Sun today says that this statement is a mistake, and adds: “Admiral Irwin and Mr. Robert Irwin, while members of the same Pennsylvania family, as we understood, are not brothers, end we hasten to correct to that extent the statement printed yesterday.” The Star, which reprinted and discussed the Sun's letter, now gives Prompt circula- tion to the correction of this statement. —_ +s It is hoped that there will be no occasion this month to chide the gentlemen of the National Observatory for neglecting to pro- vide a good article of moonshine on nights when the street lamps, out of deference to @& announced moon, are not lighted. ——_-+ + _______ It is understood that Gov. Pennoyer will follow up his Thanksgiving remarks with a refusal to wish this administration a happy New Year. —_—~-++—___ ‘Temperarce lectures are no longer novel, wut occasionally they have surprising origin and therefore excite comment. Only at Fare intervals do official documents deal with moral problems and that fact assists | ™aterially in giving to the annual report | of Gov. L. C. Hughes of Arizona a de- eidedly unique air. Arizona has never been Jeoked uron as the home of prohibitory | @entiment, indeed it has @ reputation that accords closely with fiery red liquor and ‘® great deal of it, yet its governor thrusts # clenched fist right in the face of terri-| torial sentiment by strongly condemning | the calocns and the gambling houses that | are invariably attached to the first-named | resorts. The governor uses figures rather forcibly. He shows that 77 out of 143 in- Mates.of the territorial prison clearly trace to indulgence in spirituous liquors the | erimes for which incarceration was pun- | ishment, while investigation of the county | Prisons gives John Barleycorn credit for | having placed behind the bars more than | @ per cent of the inmates. The average | of strong drink patients in the county hos- | pitals is also high. As an illustration th. governor states that the cost of maintain- ing the hospital of Mohave county for the | Quarter ending June 30, 180%, was $2,695.65, and “it is stated on good authority that | every county patient except one had been | brought to the institution by reason of @rink, and this county has the smallest | Population and least taxable property of | “ay in the territory.” After giving the re- | Party to a line of procedure which would THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1893—TWENTY “PAGES. cords of the insane asylum to show that 25 per cent of the insane became mentally diseased through intoxicating influences, the governor says “ft is also estimated that by far the greatest bill of expenses upon the county and territorial government is the result of the drink habit. This fact More than anything else explains the debt of the respective counties of the territory.” Bat Gov. Hughes is not satisfied with presentation of facts, he ascends to the highest point of the moral plane and talks loudly into the government's ears. “It is hard to understand,” says he, “why a gov- erament so enlightened and a people so Frogressive will license, protect, and en- courage a traffic which gives ré other re- sult than the ruin of its patrons in morals, health, and finances, and imposes grievous burdens upon every department of state, fills the fails, hospitals, and insane asylums and drapes the land in gloom. While in the states this traffic is beyond the power of the federal government, yet in the terri- tories it has the power to lay its hand on it and suppress it. If this were done two years would not have passed before the territcry would have cleared itself of its debt and have reduced its rate of taxation more than half.” Will Secretary Hoke Smith reprint this argument in his first annual report to the President? ree The secular newspaper comments with more or less of on daily happen. ings and {s particularly interested in po- litical affairs, but it takes a great deal of aggravation to make the religious publica- tions of the country display anything like real interest in a matter where govern- mental policy {8 concerned. But the re- ligious press is saying very much that is strongly critical of thé administration, be- cause of the administration's effort to re- Place the dissolute Liliuokaldni on the Ha- walian throne. The Star yesterday reprint- ed some vigorous opinions expressed by the Independent, and today it reproduces edi- torial expression from the Congregational- ist, The Outlook and The Watchman. The journals named are not given to exag- gerative statements, have no taint of parti- san prejudice on their garments and seek nothing but justice for morality, They have the country’s best interests at heart and do not hesitate to declare boldly that the ad- ministration has erred seriously as to’ Ha- wall, The Congregationalist is convinced that the President is using the national power and prestige “to impose on decent People the authority they had overthrown of a vicious, immoral, irresponsible woman, surrounded by knavish advisers, to the de- struction of guarantees of protection to life, liberty and possessions.” A party may for a time be careless as to purely partisan outery and may occasionally indulge in a grimace at its political opponents, but no party that ever did or ever will exist can afford to snap tts fingers at the millions who sympathize with the werks controlled by the religious organizations of the land, whose voices are the religious newspapers, er How much of cruelty is mere thought- lessness! The season of slippery streets and overcrowded public conveyances is at hand, and the present would seem to be the time to inaugurate @ reform that would surely receive the cordial support of all humane men and women. One of the most painful sights common on streets where horse cars are run is the straining of the horses in the too-frequently repeated endeavors to start the cars. The tugging and sliding are sufficiently distressing in the pleasant autumn weather, and they ap- peal strongly during the summer's intense warmth, but it is on the rainy, sleety and snowy days and nights that the sympa- thetic heart 1s touched by the struggles of the poor dumb friends that man so often maltreats. Why do not the horse car com- panies agree to stop their cars at one place only on each square—in most instances first crossing the intersecting street? If the cable company does it for economical and speed-producing reasons the other corpora- tions would surely find profit in following the example. Better time would be made, and there would be @ perceptible lengthen- ing in-the lives of the horses, for the haul- ing of the car is but slight exertion as com- pared with the starting. The change might for awhile be regarded as an inconvenience by some persons, who would be required to walk a few steps more than they now have to, but the great majority would give it hearty welcome, —————+ +. ____ Many allowances must be made for a man| who has in any way become the slave of habit. Ordinarily there is little use in reasoning with him. Even while he may admit the justice of the arguments which are presented to him, he finds that his will has become subjugated by custom, and he goes on in the old way, regardiess of his own welfare or of the discomfort which he! may be causing his fellow man. In view of| these facts there i8 little or no use of sug- gesting to Governor Altgeld that it would be only humane for him to restrain his pen- | chant for pardoning until the winter has Tun its course. Employment 1s scarce every- where. Even among the people in whose interests Mr. Altgeld chooses to administer his office, work is not plentiful. People are taking unusual precautions against being robbed or sandbagged, and the talent that is on hand to attend to all cases that may Present themselves is constantly receiving recruits. There Is at present so much com- petition in burglary and kindred occupa- tions that a living that depends on them is precarious, even with the closest attention to business. A member of the craft who is housed in a good, réliable penitentiary is much better off than he could be struggling in an overcrowded profession, with snow on the ground and coal very expensive. ————_—_+ +2 Some of the populists still fafl to see any good reason for the disaster with which they met in their recent encounter with public sentiment.

THE WEEK. Facts, possibilities and probabilities as to the efforts of this government to upset the Provisional government of Hawaii and to put the ex-Queen Liliuokalani on the throne have been the most fruitful sources of dis- cussion in the United States during the past few days. In the absence of any news as to the action taken by Minister Willis, public interest has been intense. The dem- ocratic sub-committee of the House ¢com- mittee on ways and means has about con- cluded its effort to formulate a tariff bill and the whole committee is considering a measure which will be presented to the House as soon as possible after the assem- bling of Congress next month. Americans are delighted with, and naval constructors the world over are astounded at the record made by the United States cruiser Colum- bia in two of the builder’s trial trips pre- Uminary to the official four hours’ run; the highest burst of speed was 24.95 knots, while the average on a run of forty miles Was 22.87. On the Pacific coast the United States cruiser Olympia also did very well, @ builder’s trip developing the speed of 21.26 knots, which will probably be eclipsed at official test. American interest in the trouble between Spain and the Riffs has been aroused considerably by the fact that ® Riff agent in this country has been pur- chasing a large number of Winchester rifles for use against the Spanish troops. The in- terminable Briggs case has made its appear- ance once more, but this time not upon its own motion, for the New York Presbytery has practically decided to boycott the Union Theological Seminary because of Dr. Briggs’ connection with that institution. Ex-Pre- mier Mercier of Canada is in hot water through his warm advocacy of Canadian independence, but he is defending himself with considerable skill. The business world is very dull, and prospects are not at all bright for the oncoming winter. Very many organizations of employes have accepted the reductions of wages proposed by their employers, preferring the necessary half loaf to the other possibility or even proba- bility of no bread. Abroad. Once more has the peace of Europe been declared safe, this time by President Lacour of the French senate, who insists that the extremely pleasant relations between Rus- sia and France make impossible any en- deavor to stir up strife on the continent for some time to come. Russia is, however, evidently endeavoring to make more ami- cable its relations with Germany, for the Grand Duke Vladimir, brother of the czar, is visiting the Emperor William and other Members of the German imperial family. Anarchists are raising a great deal of trou- ble, those at Barcelona and at Marselles being especially active; so far, there is no en against any of the suspects arrested, ‘ngland suffers considerably from com- mercial depression, but the burden will Probably be lighter within a few days when & large number of coal miners who have been on a strike for some time past will resume labor at the wages they deemed in- sufficient, and will leaye their cause in the hands of an arbitration committee in which the diverse elements will be satisfactorily represented.

From the Springfield Union. If President Cleveland lends his aid, even indirectly, the New York Herald declares he is ready to do, to the restoration of Queen Lilluokalani, it will be difficult for him to escape the charge of andering to British supremacy in the islands. So far as British influence {s exerted in the islands, it is against the provisional government and in favor of royalty. Queen Victoria herself has condoled with the ex-queen of Hawail in her misfortunes, and British agents in the {slands are her partisans. The United States government has officially recognized the provisional government, and to recognize the ex-queen now would be a erious violation of international law, and! contrary to all American precedents, so long as the provisional government main- ‘ains itself. The Was! “It is to be hoped tha earn for it more odium than even such a strong political organization would care to carry.”” It was a serious mistake for Presi- dent Cleveland to take up the Hawalian matter as a partisan issue. Until the ad- ministration came in it was never so re- garded, and democratic and republican ad- ministrations alike have looked upon the annexation of the Hawatian Islands as a welcome possibility, in telling you what will cure that cold.
