4 THE EVE G STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©; MONDAY. DECEMBER 4, 18983—SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY .December 4, 1893. CROSBY THE EVENING STAR has three times larger y other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. void delays, on ac- absence, letters to vidual connected with the of- mply to THE STAR, or to torial or Business Department, necording to tenor or pose. Owing to a blunder on the part of one of | those intrusted by The Star with the sig- naling of the release of the President's message, a few copies were issued prema- turely from this office a few minutes be- fore the actual release. The mistake was immediately discovered and every possible effort made to remedy it, but the mis- chief to the limited degree indicated was already done. The Star regrets deeply this apparent breach of faith. It would not for any consideration be guilty of intentional disregard of such obligations. No one who knows The Star’s high and de- served reputation for honor and good faith will believe for an instant that it could wil- fully offend in this matter. see The District Commissioners’ annual re- Port, submitted to the President today, will stand as a model of a concise and pointed narrative of official events. Many matters of interest to the citizens are discussed in the report. The need for public improve- ments which have been long recognized is again urged with brevity, but with empha- sis. The effective work of the Health De- partment during the past summer, which resulted undoubtedly in the reduction of the death rate, is conspicuously mentioned, and the moral support given to the Health De- partment by the Sanitary League is of- ficially recognized. The collection of gar- bage, the Commissioners say, has been more satisfactory than it has been for years. The Commissioners take occasion to urge the advisability of making an ex- periment of collecting and removing ashes | at the public expense, and express the hope that the estimates they have made for this purpose will be approved by Congress. Again attention is called to the need for a suitable building for the accommodation of the officers of this municipality. They ear- nestly recommend that an appropriation be made immediately avaliable for grading and improving county streets and roads, both because such work is needed, and because the appropriation would furnish useful work for the men who would otherwise be un- employed, and a charge on the community during the winter. Among other works urged as necessary is that of raising the dam at the Great Falls so as to provide for an increase of the water supply. The various recommendations made by the En- gineer Department respecting public im- Provements and which have been set forth in The Star, are approved. The work of the Police Department, and of the public schools and other bureaus of the District Government, which have been administered during the year with great efficiency, is commended. The hope is expressed that a solution of the difficulty attending the loca- tion of the contagious diseases hospital will be found which will give general satisfac- tion. A recommendation which will meet with the certain approval of citizens 1s that providing for all-night lighting of the streets. The Commissioners promise to sub- mit to Congress at an early day a measure which they hope will, if adopted by Con- gress, provide a satisfactory remedy for the vexatious state of affairs connected with the assessment of real property in the District. The injustice and general Viciousness of the assessment that now has the authority of law, and that can only be changed through legislation, is admitted, and the matter is brought to the attention of Congress in forcible sentences. Alto- gether, the Commissioners’ account of their stewardship is gratifying, and their recom- mendations deserve prompt and favorable consideration by Congress. —__+ e+ The President's message—containing about thirteen thousand words and most vom- prehensive in its treatment of national af- fairs—is not in any sense a medium of sur- prises. Ey most democrats it will be well received and lauded; republicans will en- deavor to belittle it; people of independent ideas will praise that which is good and condemn freely the unsound. Like other presidential documents emanating from Mr. | Cleveland it has in it phrases that will be in use when more important portions of the Message have been forgotten. He speaks of “the ill-defined fiction of extraterritorial- ity,” of “a conflict between a proper exe- eution of the law and private gain; of every name fraudulently put upon the pen- sion-rolis as “a wicked imposition upon the kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin;” and of the civil service law that has “flourished in spite of the covert | as well as open hostility of spoilsmen and {| notwithstanding the querulous impractica- bility of many self-constituted guardians.” To the District of Columbia the assem- bling of Congress is a matter of close per- sonal interest, for Congress is the District's common council and board of aldermen. The constitution gives Congress uninter- Fupted and supreme jurisdiction and for that reason the residents of the national capital are without power to govern them- selves. The District must therefore rely upon Congress for all its legislation and even for permission to spend its own money in making necessary public improvements. There are many such improvements pro- Jected and these will be presented for Con- gressional consideration by the District Commissioners. Broadly, it may be said that the requests are in every way reason- able and worthy affirmative action. It is hoped that activity will at once be appar- | ent in the committees through which local legislation is possible and that none of the too-few days which by rule are set apart for our uses will be allowed to pass by un- improved. Let it be understood at the out- set that the District of Columbia is not a suppliant, and makes no plea for charity. | It simply calls upon Congress for the full | and intelligent performance of constitu- | tional obligations. It is the capital of the nation, the home of enlightened Americans, and is and should be the pride of the re. public. It merits the best of treatment and its condition from time to dex of legislative int | me is a fair in- | ro President Cleveland evidently forgot to secure the advice and consent of Mr. Van Alen. Sian Not within the past tw has any Cong enty-five years Tess started out with a more weighty burden of responsibility than that | whieh encumbers the Congress that met at noon tod; For several m: ths the in- | dustriai conditions of the country have | been distressingly abnormal and, although | an extraordin session of t ational | lature removed what many befieved to be the ¢ of commercial somnolence, | Mt is evident thai the evil's root is yet un-} hed.

Surely be operated by al or commercial | Powers whose future depends extent up @enclusions of the pr to a very} the legislative | vent’ Congress. A considerabl great deal of unreasoning laughter greeted Gen. Hancock's affirmation that the tariff was a local issue, but in the debate on the Wilson bill the warrior’s estimate will be in accord with the views of nine-tenths of the Senators and Representatives. States that produce little or no coal will consent to the placing of that fuel upon the free list, but will rush madly into the fray when one of their own industries is threatened with foreign competition. Over such of these as belong to the now-dominant party the strong arm of the administration will be flourished, for it is certain that President Cleveland will support the Wilson bill from its intreduction to the hour of its final pas- sage. To be taken up—probably as a sepa- rate measure—is that other important mat- ter of wiping out a considerable deficit and providing for the lessened income which is to be the consequence of diminished tariff rates. The populists, whose incomes would as a tule be below the taxable minimum, are committed to an income tax and will urge revival of that unjust abomination; other legislators advocate increasing the internal revenue tax on whisky or the imposition of such duties on beer as would fill up the hole in the treasury. There will be much talk before the problem is solved. Then there will be more or less disturbance over Hawaiian matters and on that subject the democrats will be “a house divided against itself.” Partisan politics will not cut much of a figure in the debate, for the question is patriotic rather than partisan. With the extremely important topics in- dicated and the host of minor matters that make their appearance every session the time of this Congress will be thoroughly occupied unti' warm weather begins to make itself felt. Vital interests are in- volved in the present badly-tangled situa- tior. Will Congress prove itself equal to the demands that may reasonably be made by a disturbed people? ——>--e___ Capt. Marryat’s story as to the infant vhose coming was excused because It was “such a little one” has a parallel in that paragraph of the President's message wherein the revenue deficit is referred to. The committee on ways and means, says the President, “after full consideration, and to provide against a temporary deficiency which may exist before the business of the country adjusts itself to the new tariff schedules, have wisely embraced in their plan a few additional internal revenue taxes, including a small tax upon incomes derived from certain corporate invest- ments.” Of the nature and scope of this “small tax” the public has as yet no in- formation, but even should it prove to be infinitesimally diminutive the principle in- volved is the same. A tax upon incomes can never be an equitable tax until all men have taxable incomes and are alike scru- pulously honest. No sound reason can any- where be found by which Congress may justify class legislation. The man whose livelihood results from industry of a certsin and exempted sort should be financially in- terested in the government's support to as great an extent as another whose revenue is derived from a source upon which duty is levied. It is argued that a great burden will be lifted from the bending shoulders of the pcor man, but the logic is fatally weak, and the only rational conclusions are thor- oughly vicious; for if the rich who will con- consent to be taxed pay for themselves and for others they may properly demand greater consideration in all that pertains to public affairs. An increase in the number of internal-revenue taxes can be arranged without much difficulty, and It is safe to Say that they might be still further in- creased in number and extent without doing material injury to anyone. Of the Proposed income tax and the internal rev- enue additions the President says: “These new assessments are not only absolutely just and easily borne, but they have the further merit of being such as can be remitted without unfavorable business disturbance whenever the necessity for their imposi- tion no longer exists.” The grain of com- fort is very small and not at all nourishing. ——_ +02 In the Hawaiian affair the President is committed to the Blount-Gresham view of the facts and appropriate policy. “Upon the facts developed it seemed to me the only honorable course for our government to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us and to restore as far as practicable the status ex- isting at the time of our forcible inter- vention.” It is intimated, however, that ofte alleged forcible intervention wil not be remedied by another. Restoration of the former status is to be accomplished “as far as practicable,” and, “within the con- stitutional limits of executive power, and recognizing all our obligations and respon- sibilities growing out of any changed con- ditions brought about by our unjustifiable interference.” The President says further that he does not know what has happened in Hawaii, and that he is waiting to hear— like the rest of us. Let us hope that Min- ister Willis in view of the constitutional limitations referred to and in view of the new obligations toward the de facto Ha- waiian government which, as the Presi- dent recognizes, have arisen, may have found it impcacticable to overthrow good government and restore bad government in Hawaii! —— Mr. Van Alen’s letter of resignation leaves him in the pesition of a self-respe ng man who has suffered a good deal of needless humiliation through the actions of mis guided friends. Public sentiment has been vigorously opposed to his appointment un- der the conditions that existed, and his) resignation, in opposition to the President's appeal, shows that he saw more clearly than the President that he ought not to be minister to Italy, and gives the people a new and favorable impression of him as a manly and level-headed man. — ree The President's Hawaiian remarks have a somewhat conspicuous to-be-continued-in- our-next attachment. —> «> ____ SHOOTING STARS.
