Asa THE EVENING STAR has a reg- ular and permanent circulation near- ly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a @ News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Thoughtful men of the negro race | iscussing what !s commonly called the| negro problem in a manner that gives more | hope for the future than anything that has occurred in the history of the american since emancipation. The sentiment seems to be gaining ground gives of a second emancipation that will the negro from the chains put upon him by false notions of life, elusive dreams and errors of ill-advised educational sehemes. To the current discussion no more foreible and important contribution has been made than the ‘Thanksgiving day ad- Gress delivered by Prof. Hugh M. Brown} at the Lincoln Memorial Church, an ab- if been offensive if they had fallen from the lips of a man not of the negro race. The future in his own hands. No people was ever made strong and great except by its own efforts. Many mistakes have been made in the past by the negro himself and by those who have sought to befriend him. Now the pathway to an equal place in the world with those of other races has been pointed out, and it remains only for some practical colored men and women to lead the way. If the negro 1s to become valuable as a aitizen, and he must be that before he can emjoy in its fullness the equality so much brated about, he must begin his work from the ground up. He must seek those avenues of employment in which he is needed and fm which he can be of most service to the community,and he must strive to make him- self the master of such callings. When he has become master of one others will open to him. It is unfortunate that the negro’s ambition has been directed largely to com- peting with the whites tn the professions and in employments that should in the course of natural development become theirs only after they had mastered those pursuits in which hand and brain are equal- ly engaged. The situation is very much it would have been if the first settlers of America had insisted on devoting them- selves to professional life instead of turning to the ax and plow. Scientific industrial training may work out the problem and work it out within a generation or two, so the negro will no longer be considered as a nobody, to quote Prof. Brown, but will take his place as a valued member of society. With progress achieved in this way it is Probable that race prejudice and all its at- tendant evils would disappear. ——__ + e+ Admiral Mello’s escape from Rio has add- s@ considerably to the interest which is be- img displayed in the Brazilian situation. Two theories have been evolved, one to fit each side of the controversy. President Peixoto’s friends have it that Mello made his dash past the forts and out to sea be- cause he feared being penned up by the Nictheroy and the America. It is claimed by the loyalists that Mello’s flagship, the Aquidaban, is in poor shape, and that a voyage to some neighboring port where she could receive the attention that every big war-vessel demands was absolutely neces- sary. On the other hand Mello’s supporters declare that the Aquidaban was in excellent condition, well provisioned and provided with vast stores of ammunition, and that Mello has not gone south for repairs but is speeding northward to meet the converted merchant steamers that departed f-om New York a few days since. Should the forces | meet there will, of course, be a fight, but, the outcome of the combat cannot possibly be foretold. The Brazilian cruisers are officered and manned by Americans and of these a good account will surely be rendered. | Mello has all the adavntages of armor| and armament but his gunners are less skillful than those of the Nictheroy and the America and it may be that superior speed, seamanship and marksmanship will out- weigh the fact that the Aquidaban was! built for fighting while the two others were not. The result of the encounter, should it take place, may affect the naval policy of the great nations and save taxpayers many millions of dollars tn the building and equip- ment of new ships of war. If Mello has gone south there will be but little to pre- vent the government's cruisers from con- trolling the bay of Rio and in conjunction with the forts pzeventing Mello from reach- ing @ point where he could do the Brazilian capital any material damage. —.r 0s It ts not at all remarkable that the report of Secretary Hoke Smith is closely in ac- cord with the admirable forecast of that document printed several days ago in The Star. Not unnaturally an effort was made by some of the Interfor Department officials to discredit what was deemed by them a Premature publication, but the deadly paral- Jel is in evidence now and the accuracy of the forecast is beyond question. The President's message gives Mr. Cleve- land the first word in the approaching dis- cussion, but the question of who will have the last is a matter for profound specula- tion. ——_+ ++ __ New York's democratic machine has not yet fully made up fts mind whether it is booked for the repair shop or the junk sbop. + +-—_____ It is generally admitted that there is no eccupation more dangerous than that of those who “go down to the sea In ships” and human ingenuity has ever since the early days of navigation exerted itself to nullify the perils which threaten those who spend the greater proportion of their days on the ocean. Double hulls, watertight compartments, unsinkable life boats and a thousand minor devices testify to man's | interest in preserving the life of his fellow- | man, and day after day does evidence ac- cumulate to show how useful many of these inventions are. But now appears a theorist who desires to undo about ail the good that has been accomplished; his in- | strument of Jestruction is the trolley wire, | and the dangers he proposes to introduce are entirely new. The Boston Courter seems | to be impressed with the idea that the| “steamer” of the future will be operated | on a trolley plan by means of a subma- rine cable. “The advantages of this plan,” says the Courier, “would be great, as it would prevent the necessity of carrying immense quantities of fuel and of keeping the vesel loaded down with enormous en- gines. All he delay and difficulty and ex- Denee of maaaging furnaces and engines on board ship would be done away with by the oceanic trolley system, and the ships could be made so much lighter that they could go whizzing across the ocean in a couple of days. * * * There can be no Question that the proper means of crossing the Atlantic quickly Is by some system which will allow the motive power to be @pplied from the shore, elther by a tro’ oF @ cable. The limit of speed for ships that carry engines and fuel is certainly | practically reached on the surface, and| | there are difficulties tu the way of subma- | Fine navigation which it would be hard to conquer. The trolley system is capable of great extension, and we may yet live to get to Europe by its means.” But suppose the trolley-wire should break —as it undoubtedly would—what then? How would the engineless ship be controlled? And if a cable could be made that would withstand the strain of a winter's gale, how could it be charged with sufficient electrici- ty to make It effective? And what a horrt- ble thing it would be should a head-wind drive a trolley ship backward until it col- lided with the next following vessel! The “block” system would be absolutely neces- sary to satisfactory operation, but there seems to be at least one obstacle to the establishment and maintenance of signal stations in mid-Atlantic. If the Courier will only rig up such an apparatus as the one it so vaguely outlines, and then put on board the first of its boats the various trolley syndicates and their hirelings, The Star will contribute a reasonable sum to- ward the expenses and will send a rep- resentative to the starting point to wish the trolley-lovers “bon voyage.” ++ oe John Boyd Thacher, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee on awards of the World's Columbian Exposition, will, before he com- pletes his awarding task, be thoroughly convinced that “man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.” Mr. Thacher, who has many estimable qualities, has been up to his chin in hot water of the metaphorical sort for several months past and his suf- ferings are about to increase woefully. Ninety thousand exhibitors were represent- ed at the fair and it was announced some time ago that 70,000 medals would be awarded. Now Mr. Thacher comes to the front and says that there will be but 26,000 medals. For this reduction two reasons are given. The first is lack of funds and the second is the undoubted fact that no value is being attached to the medals because they have been promised to so many. The Star, some time ago, expressed the opin- ion that the awarding of equal-value med- als to a score of exhibitors in one line of manufacture would be unsatisfactory and must cause strife. Since then the sound- ness of the position held not only by The Star, but by nearly all the newspapers participating in the discussion, has been surely made evident. Half a dozen brewers are now claiming supremacy for their respective products, because they all have been awarded medals that are precisely alike. To be sure there are differences in the diplomas that accom- panied the medals, but the diplomas do not seem to be cutting any conspicuous figure in the advertising. A correspondent, who thought The Star had been illtreating Mr. Thacher in the matter of awards, calls at- tention to the legislation which provided for bronze medals and diplomas of uniform de- sign and in his letter says that “the par- ticular merits of each exhibit being proper- ly described by a jury of experts, and that description appearing in the diploma of award, it is evident that there will be a much wider difference in the value of the awards, when their terms are announced, than there would be in the giving of a few graded medals to invite the corrupt prac- tices which have heretofore prevailed in the unseemly scramble for exposition honors.” This argument approaches the incompre- hensible. If there have been corrupt prac- tices as to medals in other expositions why may not similar evil influences be operated as to the Columbian diplomas? if the juries of experts in the various departments were honest in the matter of diplomas (and everyone suposes they were scrupulously so) why could they not have been just as hon- est In the distribution of medals that would mean something, that would give superior- ity the eminence it deserves and put me- diocrity out of sight? Now the best and the comparatively indifferent are on even terms so far as the general public is concerend. For this Mr. Thacher may not be tn any sense responsible but many people will hold him responsible. He courted criticism, and disregarded good advice. He will doubtless be used as a scapegoat. + > In spite of the great abundance of school privileges and the widespread dissemination of truth, the fool and his money continue to Part company just as they used to do in those long bygone days when money, or something that, as a medium of exchange, was just as good, first came into exist- erce. Occasionally it is possible to sym- pathise with one of the sufferers, but it is waste of sentiment to even feel sorry for the fool who loses his money in an en- deavor to acquire wealth after such an im- possible fashion as that which is held out as bait by such fraudulent insurance com- panies as one that has just fallen under the ban in Pennsylvania. The state in- surance commissioner has completed a searching investigation into the business of what has been known as the Order of Solon. After stigmatizing the order as a fraud of the first water, the commissioner makes plain the whole scheme. He says that the society was organized in 1888, that it contracted with its members to pay them $25 a week sick benetits, $500 in case of total disability, and $1,000 at the end of seven years, less the amount paid out for sick benefits and disability claims—all for $2.50 per month, or a total sum of $210 for the entire endowment period. Ten thous- and six hundred and one men and women, who are permitted to transact business without the aid of a guardian, jumped at the chance, and now wish they had not. In four and a haif years the poor dupes paid into the treasury $595,244.52. The net 5: available assets amount to $144,549.06, and that sum is all that remains of the nearly $600,000 collected from the ten thousand and odd weak-minded beings who allowed them- selves to imagine that a slowly deposited capital of $210 could earn for itself $790 within the space of seven years. Of course the rascals who put up and operated this confidence game deserve punishment, but there should be no shedding of tears over the losses sustained by the so-called yic- tims. If these latter had not joined the Order of Solon, they would doubtless have invested either in silver bricks or green goods. —_+ += _____ There ts published in the city of New York a periodical which is styled “Once a Week.” Ordinarily it is given to accuracy of statement, but last week it blundered considerably as to something in which the District of Columbia is Interested. It stated that the United States cruiser Columbia— that peerless ship of war—was christened “Columbia” in honor of the town of Colum- bia, S.C. This newly-born claim is rather surprising. When the now famous cruiser was planned, Secretary Tracy intimated that he would honor the national capital by associating it closely with the new navy, and would honor this, the fleetest of the world’s great ships, by naming it after the District of Columbia. It is very unkind of Once a Week to torment the good people of Columbia, S.C. The folks of that burg really do not want thé honor which our illustrated cotemporary is endeavoring to thrust upon them. They are satisfied to live in the glory which is reflected from the person of their most distinguished resident— ex-Senator Wade Hampton—who, it will be remembered, once closed a belligerent, pis- tols-and-coffee-for-two sort of a letter with the statement that “My address is Colum- bia, South Carolina. ig ae It is understood that Queen Liliuokalani’s favorite occupation at present is waiting for the unexpected to happen.

It is the dazale of her unexpected skyward scoot and the dead thud of the subsequent back- ward flop that at once fascinate and nar- alyze her devotees. Strange THE WEEK, The event of the week at home was, of course, the publication of the propdsed tariff bill prepared by the House ways and means committee. It was accompanied by @ statement prepared by Mr. Wilson, chairman of the committee, giving an analysis of the bill from a democratic point of view. The bill was universally con- demned by the republican press of the country and variously commented on by the democratic apd the independent jour- nals. It was shown not to be such a radical free-trade measure as had been expected. In fact, it was similar in a number of its imposts to the tariff act of 1883, a republi- can measure. The deficit in the revenues which will be caused by the new tariff bill is estimated at from thirty to forty million dollars. How this deficit is to be raised is to be made the subject of another Dill. The strike on the Lehigh Valley railroad has continued, with the strikers apparently holding their own, although a number of defections have taken place in their ranks. The company has been able to run its trains only in an unsatisfactory manner. A number of accidents have been caused by the new non-union men, and traffic has deserted the road for parallel lines to a considerable extent. Interest was reawak- ened in the policy of the administration in its relations with Hawail by the publica- tion of a long reply by ex-Minister Stevens to the charges made by Paramount Commis- sioner Blount of intriguing with the whites at Honolulu to overthrow the queen of the isiands. In addition to contradicting many of Mr. Blount’s statements, Mr. Stevens revealed the character of the principal witnesses relied upon by the former to prove his statements. The long and ex- citing session of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor at Philadelphia end- ed with the election of J. R. Sovereign of Iowa general master workman. Mr. Pow- derly had been elected to the office, but on John W. Hayes’ election as secretary- treasurer Mr. Powderly resigned. Consid- erable of a sensation was caused by the publication of an address to New York democrats to throw off the domination of Tammany Hall. It was signed by many reputable democrats of New York city. Admiral Stanton, relieved from duty at Rio Janeiro for courtesies shown Admiral Mello, the insurgent leader, returned to New York Thursday. He contended that he had merely saluted the Brazilian flag. Thanksgiving day was as usual untversal- ly celebrated, the younger generation ob- serving it with foot ball contests. Prince- ton at New York defeated Yale for the first time in several years. Nearly 50,000 saw the game, which was the most im- portant one of the day. Abroad. This 1s a time of general political unrest in Europe. The premiers in France and Italy have been compelled to resign with their associates, and a fierce fight is being waged on the administrations in Germany, Portugal, Austria-Hungary and _ Servia. The report on the failure of the Roman Bank implicated the Giolitt! ministry in such shady proceedings that it had to go out, while the loss of confidence in the Dupuy cabinet forced it out as quickly. President Carnot was for a long time un- able to get any one to undertake the task of a new ministry. M. Casimir-Perier seemed most suitable, but he said to be an aspirant for presidential honors whose Prospects would suffer by his taking the lace. He was finally induced to yield. Vhat the bargain was has not been re- vealed. Rigorous prosecution of the an- archists by Spain has continued, and there exists an international understand- ing that things are to be made uncomfor- table for the bearers of the red flag. Ber- lin was profoundly excited over the send- ing of infernal machines to the chancellor and the kaiser. They came from France, but the kaiser promptly put an end to any international significance it might have by pronouncing it the work of a ‘“mad- man.” Anarchists are of course charged with the deed. An event causing pride to Americans was the unveiling of the Lowell memorial in Westminster Abbey. One of the worst railway disasters Europe has known for a long time occurred near Milan, Italy, thirty persons being killed and burned alive in the wreck resulting from a collision. A panic was caused in Rome by the suspension of the Credit Mo- bilier, a popular banking institution. In the District. Two rather notable fires loom up large in the perspective of the history of the week. Neither were costly fires, and in both in- stances citizens rejoiced. The fire at Jack- son City destroyed a number of the low gambling resorts located there, while the flames that consumed the buildings of the garbage factory accomplished the removal of what indignant citizens of South Wash- ington have looked upon as a nuisance. There was church going, foot ball, street riot drills on the part of the District mili- tia and plenty of turkey to aid in the cele- bration of Thanksgiving—an_ occasion which was duly observed. Chief of Police Moore started a crusade against winter racing in this city in a very effective way by arresting a lot of the hangers-on, who were, with commendable promptness, sent from the Police Court to the farm. A number of Senators and Representatives have arrived during the past few days, and by Monday there will be all the bustle or- dinarily attendant upon a session of Con- gress. —— see —__ HOOTIN STARS.

WHERE THE GOOD SAINT MAY BB SEEN. Boys and girls should know that St. Nicholas and Santa Claus are really one. St. Nicholas lived in the year 800 and is said to have been the bishop of Myra. So good was he that children were taught to love him. Santa Claus, or Klaus, fs really the Dutch name for Saint Nicholas, so you see the one saint has two names, Over one thousand years ago the good saint ts said to have supplied three poor maidens with mar- Tlage portions by secretly leaving money at their window, and as this took place just before Christ- mas all the children in Flanders and Holland put out their stockings Christmas eve in the hope that Santa Klaus, or Krecht Clobes, as they called him, would put in a present before the morning, and this custom has been observed for 1,300 years. The dear old saint, looking just like he did so many years ago, may be seen on Monday at the new Palais Royal, corner of G and 11th sts. A house has been built for him in the great show window and you may see him at work making the dolis and toys that you will find in your stockings on Christmas morning. To the rear of the house you will see the saint's garden, where his pet ani- mals will be playing. And you may observe that when he leavea his house by the front door he has only to walk a short distance to his store Toom, which is in another large window, and where you can see thousands of books, toys and games. Bicycles and what not for boys and everything girls like best. In another window is a view of a windmill in mo- tion and real water in the stream that runs under the bridge close by. When you visit the store be sure to go to the basement floor, where you can see and handle and be told all about the toys and games. And girls must not fail to visit the doll department. Easy to find, because you will see many of them climb- ing the two long ladders that reach from the first to the second floor, where is the main army of dolls—an army larger than ever gathered before in one store in Washington. But there ts no end to the surprises in store for you Monday. You will learn more in a half hour's visit than could be told of in columns of reading in The Star.
