4 — THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1898—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, MONDAY. -November 20, 1893. CROSBY s. NOTE! Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular ana permanent circulation in Washing- three times larger other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has me competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editortal or i= mess Department, according to their eharacter or purpose, not to any indi- ‘vidual connected with the office. Ss Remarkable activity on the part of a re- markable criminal, who may be assisted by others as recklessly vindictive as himself, has stirred up this community to a most uncomfortable degree. Night after night have the homes of decent citizens been rav- aged by burglars whose delight it was to destroy clothing and furniture and food, and day after day have the unvisited ones wor- ried themselves over defenses with which they hoped to keep the vandals out. There has been a great boom in the sale of locks and bolts and window fastenings and burg- lar alarms. while watchdogs acquired pre- viously unsuspected values. The alarm was mot unreasonably founded, was not a “seare.” People who would not have been greaUy disturbed at the loss of a few speci- mens of silverware or jewelry were horri- fied at the thought of such destruction as has been wrought almost nightly. From the time when the first of these remarkable offendings became known the police have been vigilant, and during the past two weeks have undoubtedly done all in their Power to capture the villains, but it has not yet been established that any of the parties arrested are the guilty ones. Natur- ally there has been loud public demand for such an increase of activity on the part of the police as would meet the cunning and agility of the vandals, but there was no necessity for such prodding; the worst- frightened woman in town was not more anxious to hear of the arrests than the Police were to make them. Every available officer was put on duty during the hours when the greatest force would naturally be needed. and all that could be accomplished by the patrolling of ununiformed men was apparently done But, may it not be asked whether the public has not expected too much of the police force? Has not the solving of this succession of mysteries been work for clever detective faculties, such as sre not to be expected in men who do ordinary police duty? This slashing busi- ness is decidedly abnormal, and the eccen- tricity of the thing, combined with the evi- dence left at various houses in the shape of cast-off clochitz ani written communi- cations, would be vaiuable and identifying testimony were tne cas? pleced before a highly-skilled scientist in the detection of crime. The services of such a man would of course be more expensive than the en- gagement of one who is quite capable of dealing with averase misbehavior, but the people of Washiagton would not begrudge a liberal salary t> one of the princes of the detective profession if the authorities will only secure one who is capable of cutting short the careers cf such as thos? who have bothered Washington for the past month. An increase in th: number of policemen— @ greater increase than the department has asked for—and a decrease in the number of officers detailed for special duty, such as at the Executive Mansion, for instance, should take place at the earliest possible date and with that increase ought to come provision for additional detective ability of the high- est and most practically-successful type. ——__ + ++ ___ Delayed publication of the report made to President Clevelan? ty his special commis- sioner, Minister Paramount Blount, reveals no facts that astonish, no statements that have not long ago been discounted. But after all, even supposing, for the sake of argument, that American influences assisted in the dethronement of a most corrupt queen, the question which interests the American people is not the one of veracity between Minister Paramount Blount and ex- Minister Stevens. The point is whether the administration is justified in doing all and more than it condemns the Harrison admin- istration for doing. If there was—and this is the most airy of suppositions—any tech- nically wrongful interference by agents of the United States in Hawatlian affairs, that interference was morally right, for it con- tributed toward the downfall of as rotten a monarchy as ever disgraced this earth. Can there be an assumption of virtuous indigna- tion on the part of the Cleveland administra- tion when it proposes to upset a government of the property-owning and respectable peo- ple of the islands, the existence of which government has been recognized by all nations, and re-establish the old and un- speakably vicious conditions which prevailed prior to the revolution? —— +e The question of what the citizens of the District are going to do to honor the splen- did naval vessel that has been named the “Columbia” becomes very pertinent just now that she has broken the world’s record and is surely the fleetest of cruisers. Here is a chance for Washingtonians to show their public »pirit and to keep up with the pace that has been set by the people of other places that have given names to ves- sels of the navy. In no instance has one of the modern ships gone abroad on her first cruise without bearing some token of the esteem of tke citizens most interested im her. There are many ways in which the people of Waskingtcn can show their ap- Preciation of the compliment, and there should be no lack of suggections. Uther cities have made presents of bells, clocks, silver services, punch-bowls, o-naments and Mbraries. What {s Washington to do? There is no time like the present. Who will head the list of subscriptions for this purpose? ee If Liliuokalani is wise she will take ad- Vantage of the present boom in the throne market, resulting from the acts of Blount, Gresham and the present administration, and dispose of her wares at the high Premium which can now be obtained. If she refrains from negotiating now with the provisional government a reaction may soon be expected which will leave her throne a worthless commodity on her hands. As she has always been a queen for revenue only, there is no impropriety in this financial suggestion. ———++s_____ Chicago now proceeds to get even with comes a decrease in the crew—two men can do all the navigating—and an increase in the carrying capacity of the beat; the lat- ter advantage resulting from the removal of the stables that now take up so much space. With the facts developed during the experiments Gov. Flower proposes to ask the empire state legislature to equip the state’s great waterway with the cheaper and more effective motor and as the propo- sition is in the interest ef true economy there will hardly be any considerable op- position to it. Railway companies whose business will be affected by the competition may try to delay the reform, but the chances are favorable to the speedy en- actment of the necessary legislation. Wash- ington and the state of Maryland should be quick to see in this projected improve- ment an opportunity for reviving the traffic of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and for converting that waterway into a commer- cial artery of greater importance than even its projectors imagined it would be. With the cost of coal transportation reduced to one-third the present rate the river front at the southwestern edge of the city should be enlivened by the almost continuous pres- ence of great fleets of ocean going vessels being laden with almost numberless tons of “black diamonds.” The Cumberland coal region would have every advantage over competing territory and the result would be great and profitable growth. —_—_> += _____ The folks who sneered, some years ago, at the idea that this country should have a modern navy, are now receiving several object lessons that ought to convince them of their folly. At no time in the peaceful history of the United States has a navy been of more service. With large interests in Hawaii and Brazil, both troubled to our danger, we cannot have too many ficet, well-armed ships afloat, manned and under orders. This a bad time to raise the cry of economy in this direction. There is not an expenditure that has been made toward the establishrrent of the navy on a broad and generous basis of late years that has not been amply justified, and even today, after millions have been spent, it were well if there were more cruisers like the Phiiadel- phia and the Columbia afloat. The magnifi- cent performance of the latter warrants the belief that this country is well able to keep up with the rest of the world in the matter of speed, and perhaps even to set the pace. To be sure, it is barely possible that the naval force in Hawaii at this time ma: soon engage in a work that does not receive the approbation of the American people, but it is carrying out the wishes of the govern- ment, nevertheless. In Brazil, there may be even more need for trim, staunch fight- ers before this curious warfare is over, for with the kaleidoscopic changes that happen there it is impossible to foretell what may turn up. The navy is now well started; let it not be allowed at this time to rest at the stage of excellence to which it has been brought, for there should be kept in mind the fact that in these days of progress there is no such thing as completion, and that only by constant watchfulness and judicious expenditure can the best be ob- tained and maintained. oe Perhaps Mr. Van Alen was afraid to leave his address at the State Department for fear such an act might be misconstrued fhto a social recognition of the American eagle. ——+-—____ Mr. McKane of Brooklyn is evidently pre- Pared to offer vigorous resistance to any movement to have his tailoring done on the zebra pattern. ————.+-—____ The German Emperor’s effort to pre- scribe forms of worship may enable him to obscure his eccentricity by his imperti- nence. ———_+ + = ____ If the worst comes to worst, Mr. Loben- gula can hire out his name for use as the title of a patent medicine. —_—ree—___ Ward McAllister has some mortal enemy who persists in encouraging him to write Pieces for the newspapers. ——_—_+++—____.

The gratifying results were not, how- ever, surprising, for there was no reason known, even to the mossbacks who favored @ continued vse of the mule, why the mys- terious current should not be as available en water as on land. With machinery of the simplest sort, the power beihg supplied throvgh an overhead wire, the experimen- tally-equipped craft moved at the rate of} four miles an hour and furnished data upon which to base estimates of operating cost. The primary expense—that of fitting each canal boat, erecting poles and stringing wires—is no more than the cost of an ani- mal outfit sufficient to run the boat. The running expenses are much less than those under the present system. Horse power calls for from $2 to $3 per day, while elec- tricity will do the work for less than sixty cents for each twenty-four hours. On the Erie canal each boat needs the services of at least six and often as many as e@zht Men, but with the displacement of the mule game. .
