Dermaxent circulation the combine4 circulaticn of the other Wastangton dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediu. it has no com- petitor. of. THE STAL, or to siness Department, “Charity gives itse’f rich; covetousness hoards itself poor,” is an old German pro- verb, to the wisdom and absolute truthful- ness of which public attention may season- ably be directed. Christmas influences are already abroad, and there is promise of more extensive liberality toward “God's poor” than this region hus eve~ before ex- perienced But there ts, nevertheless, dis- tressing probability that the righteous de- mand will exceed the supply, and it is to prevent the appearance of such a deficiency that efforts are now being -nade to awaken the beneficent to full sense of their respon- sibility. Ore organization that propoves to tofl without ceasing throughout this winter to the end that the hungry be fed and the raked clothed is The Evening Star Santa Claus Club. A year ago the club did good work, although it was but an infant. ‘Through channels that were unquestionably equitable, it distributed vast quantities of the things most needed by poverty-stricken residents of the national capital, and now it proposes to be more active and more use- ful than before. With the more than forty thousand school children as its mem- bership and missionary mainstay, it has planned the doing of great good, and if the men and womon of the District supplement, s honorary members, the charitable con- tributions and labors of the children, the ¢lyb is going to accomplish a vast deal to meet the distress of the hard times as well es help to educate the children in the gener- ous spirit of Christian beneficence. Between it and the other organized charitable asso- ciations there is complete harmony. It pro- poses to use the machinery of the Associated Charities and the police department in dis- tributing the food and clothing and fuel which so many citizens are ready to con- tribute. Hitherto the club has made a spe- clalty of children’s wants; its present plan kriows no age-limit. Thoroughly responsi- ble Washingtonians have charge of the club management, and The Evening Star Santa Claus Club feels itself prepared to play a con- spicuously useful and creditable part among ‘the Samaritan agencies through which the contents of pocketbooks and other things reedful may be transmitted to the unfortu- rate. ————-_.+ > __ Frank Lawler has nearly all of the male @emocratic adults of Chicago on his peti- tion for appointment as postmaster of that city. How many Washington signatures could he obtain indorsing his application for the purely local position of recorder of @eeds of this city? Has he come to the con- clusion, after his failure to get a place for which he had an imposing local indorge- ment, that he will be more successful if he applies for a position for which he has no local indorsement whatsoever? As a demo- erat Mr. Lawler ought to respect the home- rule declarations of the democratic plat- form, end as a man he ought to respect the American home-rule sentiment. If a Wash- ingtonian had applied for appointment as postmaster of Chicago that city and Mr. Frank Lawler would doubtless have con- sidered the application as an impertinence and an absurdity. It is even more imper- tinent and ridiculous for a Chicagoan to ap- ply for the position of recorder of deeds at Washington than it would be for a Wash- ingtonian to apply for the position of post- master at Chicago. The latter is dis- Unctively a federal office and its salary is paid by the nation out of national taxes. Washingtonians as well as Chicagoans con- tribute to the payment of this official. The recordership of deeds of this city is, on the contrary, a purely local office, performing jocal furctions and supported exclusively by fees paid by District property owners. The nation has nothing to do with the office ex- cept to appoint the man to draw a salary toward which it does not contribute a cent. Neither Mr. Lawler nor any other self-re- Specting democrat hailing from any other Place than the District of Columbia ought to be willing to accept this office if it were tendered to him. —__+++—___ A few newspapers that really ought to know better are worrying themselves and thelr readers by wondering why a number of Massachusetts towns elected democratic mayors at the recent elections, while the State itself went republican by a surprising- ly Jarge majority. Fall River, Fitchburg, Woburn, Quincy, Chicopee, Malden, Law- rence, Northampton and Pittsfield have all Voted themselves democratic mayors and as these places—like almost all other Massa- chusetts towns—are deeply interested in mapufactures there seems to be some diffi- culty In understanding the people supposed to be interested in protection should support men who are politically in accord with the @uthor of the Wilson tariff bill. The situa- tion is not, however, at all enigmatic. Clearly local and not national! issues were fought over in these municipal elections. The merits of the candidates and not pro- tection or tariff reform, or republicanism or demidcracy were in the minds of voters. This is as it should be in municipal elec- tions. Partisan considerations enter to a far greater extent than they should in the choice of men who are to spend the money of taxpayers for the protection and develop- ment of a municipality, and whose func- tions are of a business and not a political character. The result of this intrusion of Rational iasues into municipal politics is invariably demoralizing. It is a hopeful oc- currence when in municipal elections the best men win no matter what their political predilections may be. —_——__-++___ Anarchists who throw bombs do not rea- fon (and they cannot be expected to, as they ‘are essentially unreasonable) that by their horrible deeds under mild governments they are helping to raise an impression that it is easily possible to be too liberal and too lenient. soe It is sincerely hoped by many people that the President does not cherish any resent- Tent toward the District democracy for its well meant effort to haul him down Penn- sylvania avenue with four white horses. —s Ex-Commissioner Johnston has learned that it is dangerous for any man to so far Violate tradition as to refuse to “point with pride.”” — +e Three times has Mr. Cleveland carried the banner of national democracy into presi- dential contests—twice to victory and once to defeat. On each of those occasions there was inscribed on that banner doctrine to which attention may very Properly be di- rected while discussion as to Hawaii con- tinues. The platform of 1884, on which Mr. Cleveland was first elected, said as to for- eign affairs: “This country has never hada well-defined and ex 4 foreign policy Save under democratic administration. ‘rhat Policy has ever been, in regard to foreign ations, so long as ¢ do not act detri- menta! to the interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens, to let them alone; that as the result of this polic we recall the acquisition of Louisiana, ria and California and of the adjacent Mexican ter- ritory by alone, and contrast these grand acquisitions of democratic statesmanship with the purchase of Alaska, the sole friit of a republican administra- tion of neariy a quarter of a century.’ in the plxtform of Isss—when the republi- can party won—the democratic party, speak- ing of liself im the third person said: “it Res adopted and consicte “Uy purried a mm and prudent foreign policy, preserving peace with all nations, while scrupulously main- taining all the rights of our own govern- ment and people at home and abroad.” Four years later democratic announcement was made at the Chicago convention that “the democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compeiling respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliances, it has aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other nations, and especially with our neighbors on the American continent,whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm the tendency to a pol- icy of irritation and bluster, which is Hable 9* any time to confront us with the alterna- tive of humillation or war.” How do these utterances agree with re- cent administrative action? Of course the project of restoring the queen is not in line with any American policy, declared by any representative of any political party; but it is interesting to note that even in his general policy of op- Position to Hawaiian annexation President Cleveiand is not in accord with the tra- ditional policy of his party. When the Louisiana purchase was being discussed Jefferson said: “There is no constitutional didiculty as to the acquisition of territory, and whether, when acquired, it may be taken into the Union by the Constitution ae it now stands, will become a question of expediency.” Jefferson also advocated the annexation of Cuba. William L. Marcy, of whose democracy there can be no question, when Secretary of State, wanted Hawail as long ago as 1853 and thought its con- trol by this country inevitable. The nation itself was very positive when it had a chance to express itself as to the annexa- tion of Texas, for it was upon that issue that the democrats, led by Polk, defeated the whigs in 1844, —————_r+e—____ With commendable appreciation of the Poverty that now afflicts so many people in this city, Col. Heywood of the United States Marine Corps has proffered the services of the Marine Band for concert purposes, the proceeds to be devoted to the relief of the poor. With willingness of the prompt and therefore doubly valuable sort the Convention Hall management has declared its desire to aid in the philan- thropic design by lending its great audi- torium rent free, and it is expected that the illumination necessary will also be con- tributed without cost. Col. Heywood sug- gests that the three daily newspapers of the city take charge of the project and work it to a conclusion, a suggestion which The Star, speaking for itself, accepts with cheerful alacrity. . ———_e+____ Trouble in CentralAmerica is less frequent than formerly and it is feared that the revo- lutionists are growing careless about filing their reports. —_+> ++ ___ The only Christmas gift that Congress desires from the President is in the nature of information. ———_>+-____ Master Workman Sovereign has entered actively and acceptably upon his duties as @ speechmaker. ——_ ++ = ____.

Ye Poet of Xmas. A fauncie strange my sense doth grete Midst Christmas throes; Each poeme, now, upon its fete Hath mistletoes! He Has to Be Careful. “You don't seem to think the story I just told you is funny,” said the raconteur. “Oh, ya- I do,” replied Willie Wibbles. ‘Weally, I think it's verwy funny indeed. I'm going to tell it to my fwiends.” “But you didn’t laugh.” “No. I was afwaid to lawf. If I lawffed, don’t you know, it would disturb me so that I might fohget the storwy, and then I couldn't tell it to my fwiends.” After the ow Ball. “Well,” said one market man to another, cheerily. “How did the snow strike you?” “In the back of the neck mostly,” was the reply; “but it depended a good deal on the aim of the voy that threw it.” How He Spends His Time. “I understand that Binkins is no longer the model husband that he used to be." “Neglecting his family?” “How did it happen?” “He was seized with a desire to read all there was in the New York Sunday papers, and he's gotten fixed in the habit." Thoughtfal, but Discreet. “Well, sir,’ said Nero to the musical feritic of the Rome Daily Herald on the morning after the famous fire, “did you write a piece for your paper about my con- cert last night?’ “I did,” replied the critic. “I suppose you were conscientious in your leritictsm,’’ Nero went on, with a dangerous {gleam in his eye. “It is sometimes better, you know, to mingle caution with con- | science, you know.” “I realize that.” What did you say?" “t simply remarked that your performance was very warmly received.” Plensantry at the Pole.
