& THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY 5. NOYES....... +. Editor, ————— SHE 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 ne com- petitor. 7 Im order te count of THE games and gambling devices in the Dis- trict. If a man has a table with a set of ¢ircular grooves in it and sets a ball in mo- tion, and money ts staked on the chances of that ball stopping at one place or anoth- er, he undoubtedly becomes liable to punish- first and have at hand for the purpose all the paraphernalia of bookmaking. Does this constitute a gaming device? In the case of legitimate horse racing, instituted purely from the love of sport, at seasons when there is some popular demand for such Pleasures, when the racing involves no necessarily severe. But the Ivy City case seems to have no redeeming feature. There 4s no reason for horse racing in this lati- tude at this season, except to afford a means of gambling. The fact that the ar- may be taken by the courts as to the ap- Plication of the gaming law to the case, ‘there is little doubt that the general senti- ment of the community will sustain the District Attorney in his effort to rid the city of the curse of winter racing, which threatens to fasten itself upon the Capital. ————~++-+—___ “The announcement concerning Hawail contained in President Cleveland's. message has set the provisional government by the ears. Having got rid of —_ they refuse to have her back, and are for armed resistance. Ali this Tireee of resistance need not alarm us or Mr. Cleveland. especially as we now have a eruiser off the tsland."~Pall Mall Gazette. So the English cruiser is at Honolulu to co-operate with the American navy in over- throwing American and civilized control and American business interests and in- fluence in Hawaii in order to re-establish a barbarous, idolatrous, pro-English mon- erchy. John Bull knows what he is about and undoubtedly welcomes his American ally with joyful astonishment. But for Uncle Sam such an alliance in such a cause is most unholy and unnatural. The English may safely say that neither we (meaning themselves) nor Mr. Cleveland will need to be alarmed at the proposed re- sistance of the group of Hawaiians of American descent who have aspirations toward a republican form of government and the supremacy of morality and intel- ligence on the islands. These men may be overthrown, even murdered, with no dan- ger to “us or Mr. Cleveland,” so far as their own resistance is concerned. But the American people will never permit “us or Mr. Cleveland,” combined or separately, to perpetrate the outrage. For the purposes of this case Mr. Cleveland and Uncle Sam are not by any means synonymous. John Bull’s secret alliance to restore a pro-Eng- lish queen and to crush American interests and aspirations is with Mr. Cleveland and not with Uncle Sam. - +++ -___ ‘The common council of Philadelphia has voted In response to a popular demand to reduce the price of gas from $1.25 to $1. ‘The measure has still to be passed by the select council and to be approved by the mayor before it becomes a law. It was Stated by the chairman of the gas commit- tee that the reduction proposed in the price meant a loss to the city of $777,000 in re- ceipts. If the council believed the city could produce and furnish gas at $1.00 per thou- sand the figures given showed that con- sumers were charged nearly a million dol- lars more than necessary. In other words, if the gas were produced by a private cor- poration, that large sum would go wholly to the profit account. In a municipality, where the surplus over the cost of produc- tion goes into the general fund and is ex- pended for the benefit of the community, in paying for public improvements or defray- ing other public charges no grievous harm is done if the surplus happens to be large. It goes back to the people again in many forms. But in communities where gas is supplied by private corporations and the surplus goes into private pockets as profits, much of it perhaps going out of the city ‘whose people contribute to it, there is every Feason for insisting upon the lowest price at which gas can be profitably produced. see If a recent decision of the supreme court ef Indiana is held by courts elsewhere to correctly state the principles of the law, the difficulties which the saloon keeper has to encounter will be greatly increased. An Indianapolis woman brought suit for dam- ages against her next door neighbor be- cause he had opened a saloon, and thereby caused a depreciation in the value of her Property. The saloon keeper had, it ap- peared, complied with all the requirements of the law and his license had been properly granted. For these reasons the lower court decided in his favor, but the persistent ecmplainant has finally secured a decision in her favor from the state supreme court. The decision holds, in effect, that while the law may permit a nuisance, those injured by the depreciation of value of contiguous Property, should be accorded reasonable damages. This will give a new weapon to the anti-saloon leagues in their fight against the saloons. é ———__+ eo ___ Rio doubtless comforts herself with the Feflection that bombardments are much Jess likely to entail serious consequences than the anarchist demonstrations which have been occurring in European cities. —__ + eo -—__ Governor Waite will have to display a Great deal of alert ingenuity if he pulls the impeachment fuse out of his extra session bomb shell. —__ eo —_ One result of the work of the Central Re- lief Committee, and the inquiries it has set afoot, will undoubtedly be the strengthening of some of the excellent charitable institu- tions already existing. The committee naturally has given considerable thought to the lines upon which it can work to the best advantage, in distributing the money en- trusted to it. It has found institutions in the city already working on plans in line with the methods that have commended themselves to the committee. In such cases it is probable that the committee instead of creating a new institution will use the one already organized as a means to carry out its charitable purposes. In this way these existing institutions, or some parts of them, will become, for a time, auxiliaries of the Central Relief Committee. Not only will each of the institutions so acting be strengthened temporarily by an increase of its resources and by an extension of its work, but it will also be permanently bene- fited by the diffusion of knowledge respect- ing its merits and its claims upon the com- munity. The centrei committee will neces- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1893-TWELVE PAGES, expenditure of the money entrusted to it, In order to prevent wasteful duplications, but undoubtedly most of the good work which it has set out to do and which it will do, if the response of the public to the ap- peal for funds is liberal, will be done through agencies already existing. Several organizations in the city have already or- ganized efficient corps of visitors, and their members are experienced in dealing with the calls of poverty. All such agencies will, if they are available, undoubtedly be em- ployed by the central committee. The pro- posal to establish an eating house or a num- mitten, ready made, by the eating. Toor opened by the Central Union Mission, which can be easily enlarged so as to meet almost any demand. So in other respects, it is found there are institutions already well equipped to do some part of the work which the committee has considered necessary for the public welfare. By making use of them the relief fund can be more promptly ap- plied than would be the case if new agencies had to be created. All agree that the plan of giving relief through employment where Possible, is the best, and many suggestions are made to carry out this idea. The man who is given work suffers no loss of self- respect, such as is likely to follow the re- ception of alma The giving of alms out- right is likely to increase the numbers of chronic paupers. What the unemployed workingmen ask is work not alms, and efforts will be made to provide work. The unemployed and destitute women should also be considered and some plans made for their benefit. One suggestion made in to- day’s Star by the president of Wimodaughsis deserves consideration. This is to establish @ general mart or exchange, where women who seek employment either at their own homes or in the houses of others, would meet the women who are able to give em- ployment, and who in fact often seek for some special! serviee and are unable to finda woman competent to undertake it. —_—— +s —___ Mr. Corbett and Mr. Mitchell continue to receive ovations, and to be worshipped as heroes in whatever part of this broad land they may happen to turn up. It is very natural for Americans, however much they may condemn prize fighting, to have a sort of sneaking desire that Corbett should win the fight if it comes off. Corbett himself seems to have no doubt of his ability, and expresses a patriotic desire to thump the English champion very badly, just to please the American public. But there is still a Possibility that the governor of Florida will succeed in preventing the fight, in which case the six months of bluster will end in nothing. —++o—___ While no one will rejoice in the misfor- tunes of another nation, there is a bit of comfort in knowing that a review of the year’s trade in Great Britain shows a great falling off, and that the industrial situation there is gloomy. The comfort comes from the fact that this state of affairs in Eng- land offers evidence that the depression of business and stagnation of industries in this country is not due wholly to something vicious in our own business and industrial system. There may have been some things in our legislation that aggravated the com- plaint, but hard times appear to have been the common lot of manufacturing, commer- celal and agricultural people all over the world. ——_+ e > ___ There are numerous news paragraphs from various parts of the country concern- ing troubles which arose from the neglect of Santa Claus to visit ministers whose livelihoods depend entirely on their pro- fession. There is a brilliant opening for New Year's reform in this direction for many congregations. —_ > e2—___. It seems to depend just now a good deal on the source of one’s news whether one is to believe that the Brazilian revolution is about collapsed, or whether he is to enter- tain the opinion that Peixoto’s government is in the last ditch.

Uncle Silas at the Hotel. “T'll not blow out the gas,” he said, Before he tumbled into bed; “I've read enough to know ‘tain’t right.” And so he let it burn all night. A Calculating S$! re “I hope you will have a happy New Year,” said the genial man. “Well,” was the reply, “you know I’m go- ing to swear off.” “That won't prevent your having a happy New Year, will it?”* “It depends. If I swear, off in the morn- ing it will, but if I wait till night, I don’t know that it will make so much difference.” Hard-Sought Comfort. “I don’t know,” said the optimist, “that we should be altogether depressed about the increase of murderers lately.” a not?” “Because of the tendency it develops to elevate murderers in general.” Same Old Story.

Mr. Cleveland has won his greatest suc- cesses through his habit of planting him- self in a certain position and leaving the country to come to him. In several con- spicuous instances he has done this when he had the good fortune to be right, and the happy results have led him to believe that he can do the same thing under all circum- stances. He overlooks the fact that what he can do with safety and honor when he is right, may be disastrous when he is w-one If the Hawaiian incident can teach him wholesome respect for public opinion he w not have found the unpleasant ce sarily have to maintain a supervision over} altogether a misfortune, 22 Dif.
