NOYES Editor. — = o®HE EVENING STAR has a reguiar and permanent circulation nearly double » the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and » @vertising Medium it has ne com- avoid delays, on ac- absence, letters to id not be addressed to uy individual connected with the of- fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or B: ess Department, according to te urpose. ‘The proposal, made to Congress by the . District Commissioners and urged yesterday ;before the House appropriation committee day @ committee of citizens, to make an ap- ~ev'propriation of $53,000 available at once for improving suburban streets and roads, the Purpose being to furnish work, when the need is great, to unemployed men, is by no means novel. In other cities the municipal authorities have put such plans into opera- tion and have hastened work, which would otherwise, in the course of municipal legis- Jation, be delayed some months. In Balti- more the authorities have helped the work Of relief by opening a stone-breaking yard. In Boston plans have been approved for Pushing municipal works. The Cincinnati -@uthorities have hastened the appropria- Uon of thirty thousand dollars for use in the parks, and the park commissioners have given employment for the most part only to those who were recommended by the citizens’ committee. In Chicago extra work 1s being provided by the street cleaning bureaus, and the municipal government has made provision for employing men at $1 per @ay om the drainage works and in the parks. In order to meet the emergency in St. Paul, public money has been appropri- ated to the work of grading streets and im- “proving parks, and employment under this @ppropriation is regulated by the citizens’ _@ommittee, the purpose being to make the ~mmoney go as far as possibie toward prevent- “ing destitution. In Pittsburg the Depart- “ment of Public Works has made provision -« 49T employing hundreds of men on the un- dmproved parks of the city, simply antici- *pating expenditures which would be de- “manded in the near future. In many cities the problem of caring for the unemployed— the thousands who have never been in need before—has been carefully thought out, and ft has been a unanimous conclusion that the best interests of the whole community, in- sluding the unemployed, required that help ‘be given in the form of work. It is believed ‘that a sum of money expended In work will , do more actual immediate good to the un- employed than the same sum disbursed out- Fight in alms. Men who have been seif-sus- taining ask for work, not for charity, and to give alms under such circumstances, rather than work, would have a debasing effect ethat would be lasting. The action of the “municipal authorities who have thus pro- vided for the employment of men without really increasing public expenditures is most sensible. That is all that Congress, the Municipal council of the District, has been asked to do, and the favorable reception given to the proposition by the House ap- Propriations committee yesterday encour- aged the delegation of citizens to believe that it will be done. The Commissioners estimated for an appropriation of $03,0U0 for a part of the needed work on suburban Toads, and ordinarily this appropriation ‘would be made, but not become available until after the Ist of July, at a time when tt is hoped there will be no such need as at Present to plan for the relief of the desti- tute. If Congress will permit the work to be done now, much destitution may be pre- vented, and that without adding a dollar to the District's aggregate expenditures. Such @ course might be shown to be in the ime of true economy, for not only can more ‘work of this kind be now done for the same money, but the incidental relief may pre- vent many from becoming claimants upon the public charity funds. ™ ——+e+___. Representative DeArmond of Missouri, ‘who proposed that the National Government should no longer pay its just share of the eapital’s expenses, now goes further, and s@uggests that the National Government withdraw itself altogether from the Dis- trict. This indicates a spirit of malice to- wards the District of Columbia that will go far towards discrediting the sincerity of the Measure which he has introduced regarding federal appropriations for the District. It Bo longer appears to have been offered from ®@ genuine desire to curtail the national ex- penditures, or from any honest, but mis- _ taken notion, that the government was un- justly taxed. In his dreams he sees some town in the Mississippi valley, it may be Butler, Missouri, become a splendid capital ~—perhaps a counterpart of Washington—ana in his waking hours, when Butler appears to him as it really is, his irritation at find- ing that his vision was unsubstantia! fills him with malice and envy. Washington has already had to encounter a number of projects threatening to deprive it of its dignity as the capital of the nation. There are two now offered for public considera- Uon, and it is doubtful which is the more formidable. One is that conceived by an association of political philosophers, who Propose to shrink the District of Columbia until its limits comprise only the Capitol grounds. The other is the revival by Mr. De Armond of the proposal which served to bring a man named Reavis out of obscurity into notoriety, —_—_——_++<____ The citizens’ committee appointed to ar- Tange for a general canvass of the city for money and supplies for the relief of the poor is hard at work endeavoring to fill the subcommittees to perform the work in the many districts into which the city has been divided. It is believed that the people of the city will meet these canvassers more than half way and make the task they un- dertake in the cause of humanity as light and pleasant as possible. It is hoped also, that no one chosen for this noble and im- Dortant duty will decline if he can possibly werve, as such declinations will only delay ® work which cannot be undertaken too secon, —~+o—____ For cool impudence the banner should be awarded to the thief who stole Judge Bradley's overcoat from the Criminal Court room yesterday.

The vanishing quorum appears to be a Permanent feature of the congressional ex- Aibit. —_—_+ + >______ It 1s doubtful if even the all-absorbing Question of the chances of war is today at- tracting more attention and consideration on the part of the governments of Europe than are the vicious threatenings of anar- chy. To say that the authorities are awake to the dangers that confront the people is to say that which all the news from Europe fer months has been telling. They are faced by a state of affairs whose most dan- Serous feature is that it is not understood and cannot be openly met. It is a great ad- vantage in any contest to know the strength and probable tactics of one's ad- versaries. In this instance the attacks are made in the most unexpected place upon the most unlooked for occas $ were banded in a common caus and had some sort of organization ti Problem would be a far simpler one to solv But the anarchist knows no rule fuses to submit to any authority his own class. This was shown in erai opposition that met the suggestion t hold a convention of anarchists durin late exposition in Paris. A conv would imply order, and order is preci what the true anarchist hates above @lse. A few years ago and it was estim and that all the avowed anarchists could } numbered on the fingers of one man. To- @ay they are believed to number at leas Gairty housaad. The contagion has spica with the most alarming rapidity, and it is with reason that it has been termed an epidemic of diseased ideas. An article printed elsewhere in The Star today sive: a most interesting and at the same time a most alarming account of what is doing in the world of anarchy. “Shuffle the cards of human existence and give us a new deal around,” says the anarchist. This,in a nutshell, is the substance of his cause. If anarchy were an honest striving for a Let- ter and higher condition of life it would meet with far more sympathy than it does today, but it is not that. It is simply an effort to destroy the existing state of things. The anarchists would tear down the existing structure of the state and cf society, but they have no suggestions to make as to the designs of a better one to take its place. It is an underhanded ard secret war against society. We are wont to speak of the leaders of the cause. It hag none, for the true anarchist will submit to no leader. He feels it his duty to avenge his fancied wrongs in a manner that best suits himself. Anarchy is individualism gone mad. The anarchist “sees red” and seeks to destroy. Europe has had her Rav- achol, her Pallas, her Leauthier, and it is but natural to ask, “Who and what will come next?” The danger is most immediate in Europe, but it is imminent in America. The nations of Europe are doing their ut- most to stamp out the pest. ‘They are seek- ing to expel from their botadaries all who are tainted with the disease. There 's u chance for the infected in London, but when they are driven from Franc? or Spain nothing is more likely than that they should seek a refuge on our shores. If th: were willing to be absorbed into the nation it would not be so bid, but they do not wish to enjoy the larger Iberty which they claim to have been striving for at home. They are here, as they were there, the foes of government and of order. They are the enemies of the “people who eat,” but they are not willing to labdt that they, too, may belong to that class. It is a significant fact that they hate the so-called mile classes more than they do the very rich. In France it is the bourgeoisie and not the aristocracy that come in for the greatest share of their enmity. They despise honest labor, but they seek to hide themselves beneath the mantle of the workingmen, and claim that their outbreaks are but the revolt of labor against the oppression of capital. This is untrue, and they know It to be untrue Honest toil, however ill rewarded it may be, has not the least in common with an- archy. How to meet the evil is a question that is absorbing the thought of some of the greatest minds of the day. That it can- not be dealt with tightly or in a half. hearted manner is patent to every one. It must be met as we would meet the ravages of cholera or any other plague. ~ 9 Washington has so frequently to arraage for big public events that a talent for or- ganization has been cultivated among the citizens. This is apparent in the thorough- ness of the arrangements for the Moody meetings. The plans adopted and now be- ing carried out will insure an orderly and effective handling of the immense throngs that will undoubtedly fill Convention Hall twice each day during the continuance of these meetings. When the meetings sre over and the work of the various commit- tees has been concluded Mr. Moody will un- doubtedly appreciate the fact that the cit- izens did their part toward making nis labors here successful. The return of Mr. Moody to this city after the lapse of some ten years wil) be notable in several respects. He will realize the change in the city when he faces an audience of ten thousand people in the great hall and compares it with the audi- ence, on his former visit, of some twelve hundred people, crowded into the largest church auditorium in the city. Mr. Moody has not stood still in the interval. He con- tinues to hold a pre-eminent position be- cause of his rare powers. Perhaps the quality that contributes most to his success is his common sense.. He is not a maker of polished periods or an artist in gesture or expression, but he knows the direct road to human consciousness and follows it; he deals with experiences common to every man, woman and child, and in a direct, earnest fashion he places them in relation with spiritual things and drives the applica- tion home with a power of homely Illustra- tion. It is Mr. Moody’s rule never to accept pay for his services while engaged in such a series of meetings as he proposes to hold here. Yet he has never lacked money to carry out great enterprises. It is a tribute to the force and purity of his character and motives that he has been made the agent of others in spending money in doing good. —- + 0+ —___. A few days ago a meeting of women was held in Detroit for thé purpose of discussing the question as to what women of moderate means could do to relieve the present finan- cial distress. As might be expected, a num- ber of highly impracticable speeches were made but the meeting as a body made a recommendation of such evident wisdom that it deserves to be thoroughly considered in every household, not only now but at all times. It was recommended that domestic economy be taught im the schools, so that women should understand how to cook and to practice economy at the same time. In this city a good work is being done in the matter of teaching young girls, the future matrons and housekeepers of the land, the importance of an understanding of house- hold duties, but there is room for more of the same teaching even here while in other places the need is far more apparent. It is evident to anyone that a fifteen dollar in- come is larger than a twenty dollar income provided the heads of the family that must live upon the former know how, by avoiding unnecessary waste, to live better and with more of the comforts of life than another family which, with a larger sum to live upon, expends it without discretion. As the popu- lation of the country increases and compe- tition becomes fiercer in every branch of life so must the economies of life be prac- tised more and more. It is said that a French family by good management could live well on the waste from an American household. It is very pleasant to feel that one can spend lavishly and even extrava- gantly, but just the same the time has come in this country as in other countries when the people must remember the advice of one of the greatest thinkers this nation has ever known—to take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves. ———_+e The death is announced of the author or “I Have Fifteen Dollars in My Inside Pock- et,” “MeNulty, You're a Daisy,” and cther popular lyrical compositions.

The good-looking and well-editea “Prince teorge’s Enquirer’ of Upper Mariboro’, Md., began its twelfth volume last week. Notwithstanding its Inaction Congress 1s resenting a very striking food-for-thought ibit. —~+ 0 THE WEEK. With the beginning of the new year a large number of industrial enterprises have been resumed, in many cases the workmen returning to labor at reduced wages. The Textile Record says that more milis are running today than were three months ago, and the Commercial Bulletin of New York is quoted as reiterating the statement. In some places the workmen have refused to accept a cut and lock-outs have resulted, the most notable being that of the hat makers at Danbury, Conn. Congress is with us again and the eyes of the nation are turned on the law-makers of the coun- try to see how they propose to ameliorate adverse financial conditions. The demo- cratic members of the ways and means committee, by a vote of 6 to 5, voted in favor of a 2 per cent income tax on in- comes of $4,000 and over. The republicai and a large percentage of the democrats oppose this tax on the ground that it is a war tax, inquisitorial and impossible of col- lection. It is believed that the support which the tax will receive in the House will come only from the south and the west, and both sections are vided on ihe subject, the south wanting a sugar tax, which the income tax would replace. Petitions against the passage of the Wilson bill, either in toto or in part, continue to pour in on Con- gress from many of the cities. The in- augurations of Governors O’Ferrall and Greenhalge have been held, and the annual messages of the various govern- ors have been submitted. Ex-Speaker Grow of Pennsylvania has been nominated for Congressman-at-large by the republicans, to succeed the late Gen. Lilly in the present house. In accepting, Mr. Grow denounced the Wilson bill and the Hawaiian policy of the administration, sounding the keynote for the republican line of attack this year. Dispatches were received by way of New Zealand that Minister Willis at Honolulu had informed President Dole’s government that the United States insisted on the res- toration of the queen. The news was re- ceived with incredulity. Toledo, Boston, Detroit and Buffalo were visited with dis- astrous fires, the Globe theater at Boston being destroyed. A bad wreck occurred in » on the Union Pacific, which cost six lives. Efforts for aiding the distressed have been made in all the large cities of the country. Sporting circles have been in- terested in the dispute at JacksonVille, Fla., over the proposed fight between Corbett and Mitchell, the governor declaring that it shall not take place, while the sporting peo- ple assert that it will. A dispute has arisen in Kansas between Mrs. Lease and the gov- ernor over the removal of the former from office. The notable deaths have been those of Bishop McNeirny and Col. Floyd Clark- son. Abroad. England and the north of continental Europe have been suffering fromthe coldest weather in fifty years. A number of per- sons have frozen to death, the mercury having gone down to nearly twenty degrees below zero. Violent gales have prevailed in the English channel. Just as violent a disturbance, though different in kind, has been taging in the Mediterranean. The Sicilians are still fighting the imposition of the octroi tax. The troops have fre- quentiy been called out to suppress vio- lence. In France, Spain and Germany the cbase of the anarchist goes on. Many pa- pers are seized and plots discovered, but not many captures of importance are made. The opening of the Manchester ship canal from Liverpool to Manchester was the most important event of the week. Twenty-five vessels went through and a hundred thou- sand persons witnessed the procession. Ger- many has had 4 little trouble in her colo jal possessions in Africa, the Cameroons, but a gunboat easily quelled it. The Mata- beles are still keeping up a guerrilla war- fare on the South Africa Company, and the Melilla question in Morocco drifts along. Nothing decisive has happened in the Bra- | zilian war. Honduras has invaded Nica- ragua and has gained some advantage. There has been no startling event abroad during the week. In the District. Local political circles were interested and people generally were pleased by the action of the President in sending to the Senate the name of Mr. John W. Ross to be his own successor as member of the board of Dis- trict Commissioners. The work of dividing the city into districts for a systematic can- vass for the benefit of the poor relief fund has made progress under the direction of the committee appointed by the citizens’ relief committee. At the meeting of the latter body during the week it was stated that a fund of some $4,000 was available for disbursement. The arguments on the motion to quash the indictment against the Ivy City bookmakers were concluded; Judge Cole reserved his decision. The importance of a hospital for contagious diseases. in this city wes strongly set forth in a report read at a meeting of the council of the Sanitary League. Preliminary arrangements for the great gathering of the Knights of Pythias in this city in August next were made dur- ing the week by the committee on public comfort. The committees that will arrange | for the Moody meetings next month were announced. The corner stone of the posed } St. Paul's Church was laid on Sunday. The death of Thos. during the week. — +e —_.
