4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY. ......December 13, 1893. CROSBY s. NOYES. «+. Mditor. — SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent cirealation nearly d. le the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. f7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of THE STA raonal absence, letters to should not be addressed to ected with the ply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, to tenor or purpose. It may be that by this time the promoters of wirter-racing who have planned to de- Moralize Washington by locating them- selves at Ivy City are aware of the fact that Washington and Gloucester do not re- semble each other in any way; that the law here is a live something to which decency never appeals in vain. But the bookmakers and the other varieties of pro- fessional gambler are not to be the only objects of legal and moral missiles; those who patronize will also be arrested and brought to trial. That there is ample law for such procedure is most gratifying and it is hoped by the great majority of the peo- ple who reside in this city that the statutes may be so operated as to put an effective and final stop to such alleged “racing” as 1s an the Engemann program. A care‘ul survey has determined that the greater part of the track and grounds is within one mile of the city Nmits, and as the act of Corgress, which was approved March 2, 1891, rakes it unlawful “for any person or association of persons within the District of Columbia, within one mile of the boundaries of the cities of Washington and George- town, to het, gamble or make books or pools on the result of afty trotting or running race of horses,” District Attorney Birney is fully justified in notifying the police that an infraction of the law is contemplated and should be attended to. Spasms of virtue in other portions of the ccuntry have resulted in the arrest and almost immediate release of law-breaking bookmakers, but the fights have generally been brief. We do things differertly here. The bookmaxer and the bettor will be hauled in not only on ong day,but on as many days as they transgress. Col. Moore will see to that. He will have a sufficient force of officers on hand and will know that none of them are in sympathy with those for whcse repression they are | engaged and paid. There is good and suffi- ¢ient reason for believing that the way of the race track transgressor in the District of Columbta is going to be especially hard this winter. ++ Monarchy is dead in Hawaii. Dead as the traditional door-nail. Dead in spite of the shallow friendship of Paramount Com- missioner Blount, the support of Secretary Gresham and the ardent efforts of Presi- dent Cieveland. Prior to the arrival yester- day of the steamer Arawa, it was feared by} the sixty-five millions of anti-royalists who reside in the United States’ that either by hints or threats, or even an actual display of force, Minister Willis had succeeded in carrying out the instructions given him by President Cleveland, and that the provi- sional government was no more. But all ground for fear has now been removed, and unless Minister Willig makes actual war upon the powers row in control of the Isl- ands there will not be much, if any, of ser- ious trouble. In full possession of the gov- ernment buildings and records and with a well-armed and determined force at their command, President Dole and his associ- ates are undoubtedly able to make good their promises of independence. Should they be called upon to defend the cause of mor- ality, decency and civilization against the assaults of Cleveland-supported savagery they will have such sympathy and practical assistance from America as would naturally be expected of this people. Offers of the Services of several thousand volunteers made to President Dole from the Pacific coast, while not accepted because the pro- visional government dees not need outside assistance to sustain itself, indicate unmis- takably that it is only the executive of the republic and not the republic itself which seeks to overthrow good government and restore savage royalty in Hawail ——_> += —___ The Commissioner of Immigration—who Probably is not im need of a stirring up— would do weil to be especially watchful just now. Im all the Buropean countries there is at this time strong governmental effort to get rid of all anarchists and anarchistic sympathizers. France ts expelling the mur- derqus disturbers at a great rate, and, as their movements will be closely watched so long as they remain either on the continent or in Great Britain, it is probable that they will turn their faces westward and seek shelter in the United States. To this none of the European powers will offer the least objection; they have been dumping their refuse upon this country for many years and will continue to do it so long as we offer no protest and take no obstructive meas- ures. We have too many anarchists here now—most of them imported. Two or three have become governors of states, a few—too few—have been hanged, some are in Jail, the others are unmitigated nuisances, who need | “THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1893-TWELVE PAGES. public has; but it is also true that the pub- lic has, on the most interesting of the Ha- wailan topics, no information whatsoever. It is exaggeration of the wildest sort to say that the administration has been open and above board as to any phase of the Hawaiian matter. Secrecy of the most fool- ish and least excusable sort has been the rule and no truth has been given out of- ficially until it was either squeezed out or Published as a matter of poiicy. The Times asserts that “in dealing with foreign com- plications there is a wide difference be- tween patriotism and partisanship,“ but neither its own utterances nor those of the administration which it echoes seem now in accord with that educational intimation. ———__ += If men would only profit by the experi- ences of others very many serious blunders that have brought unnecessary suffering in- to existence would never have been heard of. But there is too much of pervergeness in human nature and too much self-confi- dence. The man of today is so easily satis- fied that he can succeed where others have failed ignominiously, so certai@ of his superiority over adverse circumstances, that he is frequently deaf to friendly warning. When the Lancashire coal miners were about to go out on strike it was evident to onlookers that failure was assured, but the strike leaders would not see the truth, 30 the struggle commenced, For sixteen weeks more than a million miners were purposely idle, and then they returned to their em- ployment on the terms to which they had for nearly four months objected strenuously. It has been conservatively estimated that the workmen lost over ninety-one millions of dollars, while the mine owners, tron masters and railroads lost about sixty-eight millions. There may be some satisfaction to the strikers in the fact that their dogged- ness caused their employers great loss, but the gratification could only have been of the empty sort, for the strike did not bring starvation to the employers’ homes, as it did to the cottages of nearly three hundred thousand strikers. There is a lesson in the combat and its consequences, but those who are most interested will heed it least. —__ +4. Two or three recent railway catastro- phes, fortunately of the minor sort, have di- rected public attention to the fact that the use of coal stoves for heating purposes and ofl as an illuminant fs still indulged in by ancient and mossbacked corporations, to which the safety of passengers is appar- ently a minor consideration. Public senti- ment should be strong enough to work the necessary reform, but the trouble about Public sentiment is its failure to declare | itself until some frightful combination of collision or derailment and conflagration arouses general indignation. The Pullman and Wagner companies—worried over even the small quantity of oil used for cooking purposes in their buffet cars—have complete- ly banished the dangerous fluid and will in future do their cooking with gas, thus re- moving every element of danger that can | Possibly be gotten rid of. The public should | insist strenuously upon the universal adop- tion of every safeguard, and the time to insist is in advance of and not after a great railroad horror. —_—_—+e—_____ The Hawaiian ex-queen has appealed to the provisional government for protection, and it has beem granted. Against whom is she to be protected? Not by the pro- visional government against the provisional government. Possibly against President Cleveland and other well-meaning royalists at Washington who have apparently been endeavoring to foree her into an untena- ble and desperately dangerous position. ———__+ es —___ The mildness of the present winter would indicate that the squirrels who have laid up an abundance of nuts and the geese who have been cultivating variegated breast bones have after all been misled by the severity of last winter. ———_~ +e ___ Lawyer Bourke Cockran is particularly opposed to the tax which that adventurous young woman is seeking to levy on young Mr. Gould's income. ———_+ +s ___ Kansas is infested with tramps and the question now agitating that community is as to whether the product is domestic or imported. ———+> e>____ France has decided that Anarchists are not to be permitted to publicly organize and invite recruits to criminal enterprises. ————_~-e____ There cannot now be even a “didn’t-know- it-was loaded” apology tn connection with | disasters that may ensue in Hawaii. ———_+ = -___ Few propositions to legislate have pro- duced more enthusiasm, both for and against, than the Wilson bill. ——_+ «= ____.

In- tent on doing his duty he sacrificed his life and leaves behind him those who may have material and unsentimental reason for mourning his untimely decease.

Members of the | District fire department are paid far too little for the services they render. At any moment—day or night—they are ready to combat one of nature's most destructive forces, and in so doing put themselves in Jeopardy for which mere money can offer Ro recompense. The fire department pen- sion fund needs strengthening, and needs it now. It may not be possible to prevent Joss of life in the department, but it should be as easy, as it ts right, to see that de- pendent survivors are properly cared for. —+e > —____ At last the Chinaman is started on the Foad to a comprerension of the goodness | aud greatness of this country’s institutions.

It Is more able that garrulous masculine Senators would immediately undertake to <nake her a Scapegoat in connection with ‘ne executive session gossip that floats so jreely. oe The New York Times, Aiscussing the reso- fution offered on Mondey by Senator Hoar, Says: “The Senate hgs ali the information about the appointment of Commissioner Blourt and the object and results of his mission to Hawall that the pubiic has, and Ro secret has buen made of any of it. The administration has been open and above board in its position and conduct in this Derplexing matier, and the President an- nounced his purpose of subraitting the full- est Information to Congress as soon as it gould be arranged and made complete.” This annountement would, like many other Snnouncements, be important if true.

The money to be sent Thursday morning to the District Commissioners for distribution. The suffering of the poor at this season of the year is only too apparent. To devise the best methods of relief is the subject uppermost in our minds. The Palais Royal proprietor thinks that his plan for tomorrow should result in raising a considerable sum, and that no one need be a cent the poorer. The many who will be induced to select Christmas Presents tomorrow instead of some future day will surely not be the poorer, and the increased number of sales will make up for the lessened profits to the Palais Royal proprietor.
