As the approach of a New Year is usu- ally chosen as an appropriate time for making promises for the future as well as for reviewing the past, The Star will doubt- leas be excused for taking its readers, or, in other words, the general public, some- what in its confidence, and giving them at this time a foreshadowing of some of its intentions for the coming year. ‘The various and considerable improve- ments made from time to time lately in both the appearance and character of the Paper have not been lost upon its patrons, ‘as daily complimentary assurances from Feaders and advertisers alike abundantly testify. Its material enlargement, its un- excelled typographical appearance, the in- creased quantity, larger variety and better quality of reading matter furnished, these have all been the subject of valued words of praise from widely separated sources. Following the same lines, keeping the in- terests and comfort of its patrons con- stantly in view, and determined that, as it has been in the past, The Star shall al- ‘ways be kept in the front rank of journal- ism, its management has ordered and has Row in course of construction, to be com- pleted and ready for operation on or be- fore the ist of April next, four newly-in- vented mammoth combination fast presses, of the class commonly called quadruple rotary printing and perfecting machines. ‘These marvels of mechanical ingenuity will include in their different parts all the latest and best improvements in printing presses, and are guaranteed to be without success- ful rivalry, elther in speed of execution or quality of work turned out.

Our own land has not escaped the distress that seems to have been the portion of the whole world. Other memor- able events, however, have occurred during the year. The World’s Fair was opened and continued six months, attaining a success that has had no parallel. The incoming of a democratic administration, the repeal of the silver law and the initiation of legisia- tion on the lines of tariff reform have been the chief events of national politics. During the sad events of the year must be recorded @ visitation of yellow fever in towns in Georgia and Florida. The plague, however, was confined to small limits by the efficient action of the government. The year has| 7), seen progress in science and has contributed its full share to the literature of the cen- After all, though its history may chronicle many deplorable events, there is much in the record of 1898 to be thankful for, and to indicate that the world is keep- ing steadily on its way towards the highest civilization. ——_—~o2—___—_ An interesting commentary on the possi- bilities of international marriages is fur- nished by the suit for separation brought by the stepdaughter of John W. Mackay against her husband, Prince Colonna. So many cases of a similar character have been brought before the public in the past few years that one would think that Amer- ican girls would get tired of trying the ex- periment of trading their position and for- tune for a title. Once in a long while the experiment proves a success and we are told that the wife is happy, but this comes so seldom that the case is but the excep- tion that proves the rule, If one-tenth of all marriages turned out as unhap- pily as do these cases of matrimonial barter one would be more than justified in believing that marriage is a failure. It is difficult to believe that two people educated and brought up under different systems of life and morals have a very good chance of living happily together. In the case in point it seems that the princess did not en- joy paying for handsome jewels that her husband had bought and had not even given to her. She did not object to paying her husband's legitimate bills, but when it came to buying jewels for other women to wear she naturally drew the line. Ameri- can men do not usually draw on their wives’ bank accounts for such purposes. Prince Colonna, with European ideas on the subject, thought his spouse was draw- ing too fine a distinction, and, in princely fashion, “kicked.”"He has ordered his mothe:- pers of the Federation of Labor recently struck the keynote of the song of the un- employed when he stated that a man had @ right to have work and consequently it was the duty of the state to give it to him. This has been echoed by others and in New York a mass meeting of workingmen went so far as to demand that the wages Paid by the state to those to whom em- ployment was given should conform to the union scale. The obligation of the state to furnish employment has not yet been rec- ognized by any of the authorities, but unemployed is now being agitated. ces of the state are in good con- dition and the roads are bad. It is be- Meved that the legislature could provide work for several thousand men improving the roads until spring. Suicides and mur- ders have interrupted the general merri- ment of Christmas week. Congress has not been in session, but a congressional. committee has sat at the Capitol, inquiring into the “true inwardness” of the Hawaiian affair. In Foreign Lands. The anarchists have been keeping the people in Europe from growing drowsy during the week. At Madrid a panic was created in the opera house by a rumor that anarchists had planned an outrage. The building was quickly emptied. Trial of anarchists charged with attempting to blow up the building in which the cortes meets was begun at Madrid. _ Infernal machines have been found in various cities and several innocent persons have been seriously injured by explosions.

About $2,000 of the fund raised by The Evening Star Santa Claus Club was distributed uring the week through the agencies of the club and expended for relief. The success of the club has suggested that much gooa may be done through small monthly contributions to the general relief fund and The Star has placed at tne disposal of the public its force of collectors, to whom contributions can be given.

This —— 1 very handsome amount, when added to the cost of the linotype machines and other improved and expensive appliances lately put in operation for the better equipment of the establishment, will foot up a total expenditure, in less than a single twelve months, of over one hundred and twenty- Sve thousand dollars. So heavy an outlay as this few papers in this or any other country are called upon to make in so short a period of time; and, with an expression of profound thanks for the liberal patronage always accorded to The Star, it is proper to add in this con- nection that the expenditure, large as it is, is rendered necessary in regular course by the legitimate business of an alert, well- printed, enterprising, clean, high-class, in- dependent family newspaper, whose returns are based on the values it gives to its cus- tomers, and whose success is not dependent upon or stimulated by the employment of any of the gift-enterprise, coupon, prize- package, nickle-in-the-slot, or other catch- penny devicer which are not unfrequently used nowadays by newspaper publishers to create a temporary or wholly fictitious cir- culation. Such expedients The Star has never felt called upon to adopt. It is en- tirely content to follow the newspaper busi- ness, as such, pure and simple, without en- tering upon other lines of trade in no wise @ennected with journalism. Other pursuits it is willing to leave wholly to those whose capital is invested therein: and it intends by using the legitimate methods and means hitherto relied upon, to make itself every year more deserving, if possible, of that gratifying measure of confidence and es- teem which it has always enjoyed at the hands of an appreciative public. ——_+e+ ‘The Hawaiian society reporter will doubt- less take pains to note that Liliuokalani will not receive on New Year day, owing to the difficulty she has had in getting the throne room into repair. ——> ¢ = —_____ It ts hoped that many will remember, on New Year day, that it is better to give than to receive, and that the relief funds may be swelled accordingly. —_ ree +__ There is a strong impression that Gover- .

The year wit- nessed the peaceful settlement by arbitra- tiem of the Bering Sea dispute. In England much progress has been made towards se- curing an extension of suffrage and the es- tablishment of Home Rule for Ireland.| Within a few months the Hawaiian queen has been dethroned and a provisional gov- ernment established in the islands by the people to whom a continuance of a rule upon degradation and profligacy had become unendurable. The appeal to Amer- ica for annextion has not yet received a final answer, though the sentiment of the American people in favor of supporting the existing government of Hawaii at least to the extent of not interfering with it has been manifested in a marked manner by the General disapproval of the course the ad- ministration was deluded into adopting, con- templating the restoration of the deposed queen. In many foreign lands there has been political and social disquiet. There has been rebellion in Brazil, and this ac- count will be carried over to the books of the new year.

The chief blot upon our legal and judicial systems has been the de- lays and sometimes utter failure of justice in cases of this kind. The Chicago jury was prompt and, it is to be hoped that no merely technical controversies will be in- terposed. The law of our country recog- nizes hanging as the punishment for mur- der, and while that law exists, the quicker the punishment ts applied the more effective it will be in deterring others from the com- mission of similar crimes. The many months of notoriety that some celebrated criminals are permitted to enjoy and the mawkish sentiment enlisted in their behalf, even if justice is done at last, serve only to offer @ premium on crime, in the minds of mur- derous cranks. oe Ferdinand Ward is now working in a lit- tle printing shop in New York. A few years ago he was known as the “Napoleon of Fi- nance,” but has done a turn at Sing Sing for his methods of getting rich quickly, and now is trying hard to begin all over again in an honest life. His employer and asso- clates know his past and he is said to be the best workman in the establishment. He is not making as much Money as he did a few years ago, but he certainly deserves credit for his efforts to live down the record of his former life. He learned his trade in the penitentiary and is making the best of it. —_—_ +e >__—_. The carriers of The Evening Star will leave for the subscribers whom they serve today a “greeting” which forms one of the prettiest New Year souvenirs that modern printing has produced. The address has been cleverly illustrated by Miss Elizabeth Miller and the whole neatly printed in colors. With the “Greeting” is a calendar, arranged by the seasons, so the souvenir may serve a useful everyday purpose dur- ing the year, as well as remind those who receive it that the carrier has been faithful to them in all seasons, in the heat of sum- mer and in the storms of winter, and com- mend him to their kindly remembrances. ——_—_- es The Post Office Department has given no- tice to the country that the Columbian stamps must go—that is they must all be sold before new stamps of normal size will be issued in their place. The stamps are on hand and the government is much in the position of the western hotel keeper who, it is said, had a large supply of hash on hand and compelled his guests at the point of a pistol to confess that they were fond of hash.

From the New York Recorder. Many of the anarchists in Spain are turn- ing informers. All the secret socleties that have started out to overturn the world by violence and crime have invariably struck that snag. The informer can always be trusted to appear at the right time. Atro- cious crimes cannot be kept a secret be- tween more than two or three men at most and rarely by so many. so. The Inquisitive Public. From the Waterbury American. Boss Tweed’s old question used to be, “What are you going to do about it?” In these days Tammany is more sensitive than it was then. The role of questioner and questioned is reversed, and today New York is asking Boss Croker, Where did you get your money? It is asking this question with persistency and pertinence. ——_ 0 No Sympathy for “Cranks. From the New York World.
