NOYES................Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of al absence, letters to ‘THE ST. should not be addressed to ihe Raltorial er Bustuens Department, according to t OF purpose. ——_——_—— ‘The many appeals that have been made for local charity will be supplemented and strengthened tonight by the mass meeting called by the District Commissioners. Com- paratively mild weather has kept the suf- fering of the poverty-stricken unfortunates down to a minimum and the liberality of only a few of this city’s well-to-do people | has sufficed to make actual freezing or starvation impossible, but the period when old weather will be the rule and not the | exception is at hand and with it come multiplied opportunities to do real good. Every citizen who desires to aid tempor- arily distressed fellow beings should en- eavor to be present at Builders’ Exchange Hall this evening, there to participate in the discussion and action which has for its object the alleviation of distress. Tomorrow evening Convention Hall, spacious as it is, should be filled to the limit of its capacity by those who can at least afford a half- dollar contribution. There the Marine Band will do its best to please and will surely succeed. Every cent of the proceeds will So directly to charity. The same statement is true as to The Evening Star Santa Claus Club, which numbers more contributors by far than any other benevolent organization which this city has ever known. Already there are more than sixteen thousand mem- bers in the club and although their indi- vidual subscriptions have rarely gone much @aily. In response to the club's efforts there comes a steady supply of clothing, food and fuel, and these necessaries are being distributed through the best mediums. All the information, tending to effect a judi- cious distribution of the contributions, that is possessed by the police and the Asso- ¢tated Charities or that is collected through sidewalks or parking of the streets of Washington and further, to refuse permits for the erection of any such stands or stalls hereafter.” The words “by request” Printed on the bill indicates that this meas- ure did not originate with Mr. Cobb, and the fine Italian hand of some hidden enemy is traced in it. Whether the bill is the out- come of a fit of sudden wrath on the part of @ victim of banana skin or orange peel on the sidewalk, who thereupon rushed straightway to wreak his vengeance upon all dealers in skins and peels, or whether there is a deeper, more diabolical plot in it is only known to Mr. Cobb and the man who incited him to offer the bill. Is it a deep laid scheme upon the part of some monopolistic indoor dealers in fruit who want to expel their sidewalk brethren from the field? Can it be that the makers of street pianos and hand organs have con- spired to drive the swarthy-skinned exiles of the-sunny south from their sedentary pursuits behind the fruit stands and make them wanderers again? Time will tell. In the meantime the bill is before the District committee and will receive due and digni- fied consideration. —__+ e+ —____ The War Department evidently intends to return to the patched-up Ford's Theater | building those clerks of the record and pension division who were not killed in the awful disaster that made it a ruin. The | structure is perhaps reasonably safe, for great care has been taken in the work of repairing and rebuilding, but there is sound reason why the building should not be used for office purposes. To practically compel men who went down with the falling floors to return to the scene of horror is cruelty. Had there been a new building put up on | the old site there could have been no rea- sonable objection to the proposition which is to materialize in a few days, but when the government expends only a paltry sum in bracing up and rendering habitable the ancient house, it is not strange that men who but a little while ago learned to start and tremble when a board creaks should be disinclined to labor between the walis where they were so recently imprisoned and tortured. Heartless economists—misers would be the better term—may applaud the saving which is to be effected by the al- most completed plan, but men in whose breasts humanity has a resting place can only give utterance to words of condemna- tion. ——_+«+—__- The Star will receive and acknowledge charitable contributions—as it has done every year, and as it has already been doing this year—and will disburse these contribu- tions through the agencies indicated by the donors. The main distributing agencies are the Associated Charities, the police, the Evening Star Santa Claus Club and the committee which will doubtless be appoint- ed ta disburse the funds that will be raised through the action of the mass-meeting to- the schools is at the club’s disposal and _ Will be freely and intelligently used. —__r+oe____ In the beginning President Cleveland made up his mind that certain things had hap- pened and that certain conditions existed in conduct on the part of the Harrison admin- istration. Had his opinion needed boister- fact alone would have convinced he was right, such conduct being just what he might have expect- it he needed no corroboration of what himself thought, for he is not in the of mistakes. Then he sent a it commissioner to discover that were so, and this commissioner they were so. And the official it forth, immutable as the law of and the Persians: “These things great wrong must be undone!” these things had really been so, that the breath of President sa § ! ———— struck the provi- that alleged structure of the sands, erected solely interference and lacking would have disintegrat- But the President blew, in surprise, at lack of re- and harder.

But the ex-queen is amaz- Protection of this impotent sham—the pro- visional government. She really seems to think that it will not be safe for her, backed by the Hawaiian people, to face a hand- ful of conspirators, who opposed her success- fully only because the United States was behind them and from whom this support has now been withdrawn. For it is stuff and nonsence and a libel on Liliuokalani to say that the woman, who according to Blount with everything in her own hands her, the latter carefully assuring her per- sonal safety, why should she thirst for the provisional government's blood? if these things had been so, the President would not now find himseif in the attitude of a self-appointed unwelcome mediator, en- deavoring to give effect to his decision in an imaginary arbitration based upon an imag- imary condition of facts, one of the alleged parties to the arbitration resenting his in- tervention as an insult and menace, the ether unwilling to recognize and act upon his mediation because of fear. These things are not so. Every indication points to the opposite conclusion. The Presi- dent fs sound on financial questions, reason- ably conservative in respect to tariff legisla- tion, in touch with the people in respect to Civil service reform, but he is thoroughly and persistently wrong on the Hawaiian Question, and the people know it. In the name of national honor, on the Mimsiest of ex-parte evidence, he hastens to vilify the national honor. In the name of morality he endeavors to commit the re- public to a policy of wrong, striking down the cause of religion, morality and Christ- jan civilization, destroying democratic as- pirations and American influences, and bol- stering up a vicious, idolatrous, pro-English monarchy. As a protest against alleged na- tonal meddling in Hawaii in a good cause be himself meddies and muddies there in a bad cause. —_+ ++ ____ In order to understand perfectly what the | | President said to Mr. Willis, it 1s necessary | } to know what Mr. Willis said to the Presi- | Gent.

The corner fruit-stand must go.

From the Chicago Herald. Great expectations are rising over the hoped-for battle between the new ships of Dictator Peixoto and the rebels off Rio under Mello and De Gama. Judging by the success with which they have avoided hurt- ing each other up to this time, the expecta- tion is not likely to be realized. The people of Rio continue indifferent and inattentive, and probably would be surprised to have silence like a poultice come to heal the blows of sound. Business with an obligato of bombardment may be a little unusual, | but Brazilians seem to like it, 420, 422, 424, 426 7TH ST.
