4 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 18983-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY 8S. NOYES... ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular a permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. In order to avoid de! count of l absen: personal THE STAR should not be y individual connected fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. When the northwestern territories sought admission to the Union as states the demo- cratic party made the mistake of resisting all these applications indiscriminately, and imputed to the republicans a purpose to create rotten borough states for partisan purposes. The effect of this partisan oppo- sition to the aspirations of communities, which tn certain cases had a greater per- manent population than the average num- ber of persons represented by eacis member of the House of Representatives, was to Prejudice that whole section against the democratic party and to counteract for a long time the tendency toward the demo- cratic position on the tariff issue, which had grown strong in these interior agricul- tural communities. Now the positions are reversed. The southern territories are seek- ing statehood, and the temptation to the re- publican party ts to oppose indiscriminately on partisan grounds, alleging partisan mo- tives in the democrats who favor admission. It is unfortunate that in both cases par- Usanship could not be set aside, and some general policy ard method of treatment sys- tematically applied to the aspiring territor- ies, On the one hand, it is unwise for the republic to retain its colonies in the colonial state beyond the moment when they become fitted to be states. On the other hand, a community prematurely admitted to state- hood, either lacking the necessary popula- tion or lacking the resources and capacity for growth which will give it an assured standing among the states, is an injury and discredit to the whole family of common- wealths. When a section of the territory of the United States of reasonably restrict- ed area has a permanent American popula- tion of average intelligence and morality approximating the number of persons— some 150,000-represented by each member of the House of Representatives, and this section also possesses varied natural re- sources, which give reasonable promise that this population will not merely be retained, but grow with the republic's average growth, then this section should be prompt- ly admitted to statehood. But we waat no more Nevadas. It is very difficult for Con- gress to pursue the safe, middie course in this matter, avoiding at once the Scyila of which existing Nevada gives warning, and the Charybgis of a repression of American espirations to full citizenship with the po- litical hostility and prejudice thereby arous- ed. It would clearly be of notable benetit to the republic to abolish the reproach of existing Nevada by consolidating this state and Utah. But in view of the political con- siderations which have been suggested it is hardly likely that this consolidation will be effected. The probabilities are that the ter- Titorles now seeking statehood will be soon admitted, as the northwestern territories were, substantially in the manner which they themselves suggest, and that the re- Public will be compelled to take its chances of one or more of the new states going to the bad after the Nevada fashion, just as it took similar chances in respect to at least one of the new states carved from north- western territory. Partisanship is mighty and ts apt to prevail. ——_>eo____. Never before perhaps has a more general interest been manifested in the condition of the poor in Washington than at the present time. This is due largely to the general Knowledge that many are suffering for lack of the common necessaries of life who or- dinarily are self-sustaining. It is not the chronic poor only who are to be relieved; but a large army of people who have been industrious members of the community and who would be such today if employment could be given them. The community has always responded generously to the appeal | of the poor; it is a matter of pride also to Washington that the city has never fatlea when is has been necessary to raise funds for any commendable movement, or to sus- tain the reputation of the city as a host. There can be no more creditable object to work for than that of caring for the many, whom the stress of hard times has forced into destitution. It is hoped the well-to-do people will make liberal contributions to the citizens’ relief fund. It 1s believed that | those who might not be classed as well-to- do, but who earn their living by daily toil, will do what they can to help their less fortunate brethren. There should be no wituholding from the fund, because the amount which one can give seems small. Let the man, who 4s fortunate enough to have a home, however humble, and to be able to provide food and clothing for his family, give Something if it is only a dime. Af all in the city would do as much as that, the aggregate would make many thousands of dollars. One difficulty in the way is to provide a trustworthy collection agency, that can reach all, or nearly all, to take the } contributions, however large or small they may be. The Star has proposed a plan that im a measure overcomes this difficulty. In fact The Star will take it upon itself to col- lect these contributions from such of its readers as choose to give. It will do so be- Beving that it will ve a service to its read-| ers and the community generally, as well @ to the poor. At any rate it provides an easy way of giving and it is the earnest de- sire of The Star to make giving as easy as) possible and to let no one's contribution be lost at this time, because facilities are not | offered him for getting his dime, or quarter, or dollar into proper hands, an —— ee ere is every reason for expecting the taritf legislators to be prompt. 1 ey will come fresh from the holiday vacation toa consideration of a matter in connection with which the need of quick decision is universally admitted. ed to give Wash- cing it is very inter would produce e the horses feel at winter doubtful whether this w: snow enough to m home im the sport. woe Gov.

Then the Novoe Vremya, a live Rewspaper, organized a submarine expedi- tion and found eck. But its enter- | Drise turned out to be valueless so far as} Bews was concerned, fer the government | forbade publication of the facts. The rea- son given by the autocracy for this proceed- ing is that there {s official doubt as to the ability of a mere newspaper to do that which was declared impossible by the Min- istry of Marine. In this country such in- terference is impossible. No administra- tion that ever drew salary from the United States treasury could do such a thing and live. But there have been tendencies to- ward governmental repression of news and it {s pleasing to ponder over the fact that the tendencies have never materialized to @ dangerous extert. Discrimination against newspapers that printed the truth and in- sisted upon having opinions of their own is as near as we have yet approached to Russian methods. That is near enough; too close, in fact. ——_+ e=+_____ One of the most practical suggestions made, as to methods of extending relief to the poor, ts that published in The Star by a philanthropic citizen, who proposed to contribute to a fund for the erection and maintenance of an eating house, where the poor could be provided with meals. Work on this line is already being done by the Central Union Mission and instead of erect- ing a building for the purpose it might be better to take advantage of the accommoda- tions already possessed by the Central Union Mission and make them the nucleus of the proposed charity. The mission has a large building centrally located. It con- ducts an eating room, where needy persons can get wholesome food at a nominal price. Meal tickets are printed and sold and char- itably inclined persons can purchase these tickets and distribute them among the worthy poor. The establishment is run eco- nomically and the purpose in view is to furnish the meals at the lowest possible cost. This eating room will furnish a nu- cleus for the work suggested by The Star's correspondent. Those who have money to give might give it to be used in enlarging and extending the usefulness of the institu- tion already founded by the Central Union Mission. The managers of the mission, it is understood, will cheerfully give all the room required to meet any demand that may be made. The central relief committee could well take up and utilize this sugges- tion. —_++e_____ A permit was taken out today for the erection of quite a block of houses in the eastern portion of the city. The business shrewdness of those at the head of the en- terprise as well of others which have been Placed under way recently is recognized by all who are at all familiar with local condi- tions as well as the state of trade through- out the country. As has been pointed out in this column, the present offers induce- ments for this class of investment which are somewhat extraordinary. Building can be done more cheaply now than for some time past. The market for building sup- plies is dull, the buyers are few, and those who appear are likely to receive careful at- tention. There is no doubt about the ex- istence of a market when the buildings are completed, if for no other reason than that the owners of buildings erected now will be able to sell under current rates if the need should arise. ————+ +> ____ Donjan the letter writer does not seem to be a very terriole fellow after all, but the threatening-letter writer is a nuisance and ought to be suppressed.. Donjan will not, so far as the facts known at present indi- cate, be likely to be directly or indirectly responsible for any bloodshed. In fact, men who write bloody threats are generally not around when there is likely to be any real blood spilt. But letter writers of his class, if they never commit any actual vio- lence themselves, may do a great deal of mischief in the way of suggestion to men of illy-balanced or depraved moral natures. So some stringent measures should be taken to prevent the exercise of their talents on missives of the kind attributed to Donjan. ——_+ e+ -____. One of the particularly pleasant features of this Christmas—when so many good peo- ple are dependent for the necessaries of existence on their more fortunate fellows— is the self-sacrificing spirit displayed by the children. Christmas to very many of these who attend Sunday school is closely connected with a liberal distribution of candy in conjunction with a seasonable en- tertainment. This year the little ones of Several schools voluntarily deprived them- selves of the treat that the money which would ordinarily have been used to purchase sSweetmeats might-be applied to relieving some of the suffering which afflicts this eity’s poor. Such conduct is worthy of all praise. ———_+++—___ Perhaps it would be just as well for Gov. Pennoyer to cut short his program of hol- iday wails with Washington's birthday.
