THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY...........January 13, 1894. -++--Editor. permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other . Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne com- petitor. ee eee 67m order to avoid delays, om ac- ‘The administration acted wisely in sup- Dressing Willis’ dispatch, describing his in- terview with ex-Queen Lili, not, however, Because its publication would seem to be at all incompatible with the public interest, meaning thereby the American public, but Decause a knowledge by the people of its @ontents would have caused the policy of qQueen-restoring and its advocates to be instantly overwhelmed by a wave of public Andignation. In the first place, the President of the United States by proxy prostrates himself before Mrs. Dominis. The President makes known “his sincere regret that through the Unauthorized intervention of the United Btates she had been obliged to surrender her sovereignty and his hope that with her fonsent and co-operation the wronz done to her and to her people might be redress- ed." “The President not only tenders you Ris sympathy, but wishes to help you.” Then the President hints at amnesty, to the extent at least of questioning her royal highness as to her intentions. Her majesty 4s explicit upon this point. She will behead her enemies and confiscate their property to the government—that is, to herself. Truly a tiger Lili! The President's proxy thereupon intimates that he will have to communicate with the President before he can fully indorse the Proposed beheading of Americans, kisses the hem of the royal garments, and wriggles backward out of the royal presence. It is to be note@ that there is a difference @f opinion between the President and the ex-queen as to the persons responsible for her overthrow. The President pleads gullty for the United States. The queen hoids re- @ponsible the members of the provisional government and their supporters, the re- ligious, intelligent, civilized, property-own- ing element of the population. “These peo- Die.” she says, ‘“‘were the cause of the revo- Jution and the constitution of 1887. There will never be any peace while they are here.” She hates them because they have @ethroned her, notwithstanding Mr. Cleve- land assures her that they did not dethrone her. She will revenge herself upon these Christian missionaries, and American bus- imess men, who are the natural enemies of an idolatrous, profligate queen, seeking ab- solute power. She will confiscate their Property and cut off their heads. This is the woman in whose behalf the latest Don Quixote crusade has been un- dertaken. This is the woman in whose ab- solute power it was proposed to place the lives and property of the American colony at Honolulu. How verilously near to be- coming an accessory to the murder of Ameri- cans as well as to the destruction of Ameri- can interests, influence and credit in Ha- wail has the republic been led! The whole affair is a national humiliation. ——— +e- When the year 1900 arrives it will be in order to celebrate the centennial of the es- tablishment here of the national capital. “Twice during the past year has The Star suggested the propriety of such a celebra- tion, and, although this is not a particularly ptopitious season in which to once more di- Yect public attention to such a matter, it is, nevertheless, just as well to keep the idea im full view. The celebration should not be @ small affair, nor ought it to be a mere fleeting show—a day of processions, bands, banners and oratory. It should be an ex- position of what this nation has done im the hundred years since its seat of government ‘was taken possession of by the few oficials ‘who then directed affairs. But the word “exposition” isnot intended to convey the impression that-amything nearly so gigan- tie as Chicago's effort is intended. Magnifi- cent as the White City was, its very extent | Was a weakness, the multiplicity of its ex- | hibits an unnecessary and profitless tax on the human intellect that tried to see cven the half of what was displayed. Thous- ands of articles were practically duplicates, with no particular preponderance of merit ‘to be urged im behalf of any one of the pro- duets. The exposition of 1900 should be compact and select. Preliminary examina- tion by competent experts should determine the worthiness or otherwise of proposed ex- | hibits, and only the best ought to be given space. The mere securing of admission | would, therefore, be a guarantee of quality | and desirability, and the exposition would | not resemble the average country fair. An international exposition at that time would conflict with more than une European en-! degvor in the same line, but aside from that rather important consideration, it woyld un- doubtedly be better to make the a‘fair na- tional rather than international. The event to be commemorated is one that no other | people could he much interested in. For the next year or so it would be well for Wash- | ingtonians to discuss this idea, and to im- part enthusiasm to the millions of meri- :¢ans who never weary of singing the praises | of this beautiful city of which every Ameri- | can should be proud—the capital of the na- ton, Then, when the enterprise and its scope had been fully agreed upon, it would be time to organize and to build; not flim- sily or for a day, but solidly and with a view to permanency. ——_ + ___ The unemployed workingmen of the city might get the workingmen of Mr. Kilgore’s district to petition him not to oppose an appropriation, which is conceded to be a proper municipal expenditure in itself, merely because it is to be made at such a time to give work to the unemployed and thus relieve destitution. ———_+ +s _____ The memorial of the citizens’ associations in opBosition to the De Armond bill is an able and effective statement uf the facts bearing upon tne relativas of capital and nation, and will repay careful study both by our legislators at the Capitol and by the people of Washington. ——_-++_____ The President appears to be having al- scale of prices adopted by the workmen and there is naturally a great deal of rea- sonable curiosity as to what will be done by those who control the scale. The situ- it successfully—to entice frightened capital from its hiding place—extraordinary ments offered. It would appear as though the present stagnation must continue for some time longer unless some such move as that proposed is taken, but it cannot be done by any one of the petitioning in- tereste—they must be unanimous. pecullar emergency of today to give work than to give alms, Every one who within the next year or so proposes to make come improvement should anticipate the event, and put some of the unemployed at work upon it at once. Every person of means who has not so planned should immediately Proceed to invent some way of spending money for work, in the full assurance that in no other way can God’s poor be so wisely and effectively and safely relieved. The Star says with Washington Gladden: “The problem of making work and of bringing the task and the toler together is one that requires some thought and ingeauity, some trouble and pains, no doub:; but many of my readers can solve it, 'f they will give it half as much study as they will expend upon the costume of the next bigh tea, or the plans for the holiday vacation.” ——___++2s—____ State prohibition, local option, steady agi- tation and a great deal of rational argu- ment have combined to injure and com- press the traffic in into&icating lquors, but none cf those causes, nor all of them, have struck the business. such a terrific blow as was delivered by the supreme court of Indiana a month ago. Strangely, too, the decision has provoked much less of dis- cussion than it deserves, for it will revolu- tionize the selling of strong drink in Indi- ana, and surely in other states where test cases shall sticceed. The Indiana suit was brought in Indianapolis to recover the sum of $2,000 damages, said to have been caused by the establishment of a saloon alongside the property of the plaintiff. It was alleged that with the opening of the saloon the value of this adjoining property had been reduced from $5,500 to $8,500. The defense was that the board of commissioners of Marion county had issued the defendant a license to conduct the saloon in question. It was finally decided that “the legislative authorization exempts only from liability to suits, civil or criminal, at the instance ;of the state. It does not affect any claim of a private citizen for damages for any special inconvenience or discomfort not ex- perienced by the public at large. It can not be presumed from a general grant of authority that the legislature intended to authorize acts to the injury of third per- |sons where no compensation is provided, except upon condition of obtaining their consent. It is sufficient to maintain the ac- | tion to show that the building of the plain- tiff was thus rendered less valuable for the purposes to which it was devoted. The fact that such a saloon was licensed according to law is not a defense to such action.” Should this decision be duplicated in all the states (as it may easily be, unless, there is legislative action that will override thi common-law principle made plain in Indi- ana) its first effect will be to centralize the sale of liquor in all the cities; to drive sa- loons away from the residence sections to the business portions. Discussing the con- clusions of the court, the Wine and Spirit Gazette says “it is the most serious blow that has yet been struck at the retajl Hquor traffic.” —_—_~+e—____ It may be true, as the Duva. Athletic Club states, that “the sentiment of the peo- ple of the city of Jacksonville and State of Florida is in favor” of the Corbett-Mitchell prize-fight, but it would be safe to assert that if any northern newspaper should claim that Jacksonville longed for the pres- ence and association of the thousands of more than undesirable characters who are always to be found on such occasions as the one now being planned for in defiance of law and decent sentiment, there would be speedy and emphatic denial by those who are represented as anxious to have the fight come off in their midst. The real trou- ble with the Jacksonville folke is that their ; moral eyes have been temporarily blinded by glittering temptations; they were too weak to withstand the pressure of such as those who did their utmost to tempt this city into welcoming the bookmakers, the touts, the pickpockets and confidence men who are essential attaches of a winter- racing outfit. It has been said that every man has his price, but the imputation is un- just and untrue as to very many men, and as to some of the aggregations of men which may be broadly referred to as cities. But, according to the Duval Club, Jackson- ville is not of this latter class. There is, however, room for hope that the good name of the state has not been so seriously in- volved as the Duval Club has declared it to be, and that Governor Mitchell may be able to make good his promises of repression. —___ +++ ____ Postmaster Hesing of Chicago has writ- ten complaining of his quarters. Mr. Law- | ler is probably wondering how much of the earth this gentleman will want before he gets through. It is not likely that Mr. Simpson, with all bis ardor, will succeed in making the tattered overcoat hold the place in popular interest that the bloody shirt did. —_—__+ 0+ —___ Mr. Croker is now so financially situ- ated as to be able to afford any luxury that may strike his fancy, sensitiveness included. ——_++>____ If Cripple Creek is in earnest she will not neglect to open correspondence with Mr. Tracey and Mr. Boutelle, — — + « > ______ The tariff league is at all events doing good service in behalf of this country’s postal card industry. > + Vi at the Fatr Grounds. From the Chicago Herald. If the people of Chicago cannot behave themselves they ought to be shut out of Jackson Park until the last vestige of the world’s fair has disappeared. The vandal- ism, the riotous, wanton, useless destruc- tion and defacement of the buildings and statuary under pretense of relic-hunting is a disgrace to the city. And the spirit of de- vastation, unfortunately, seems to be all but universal. It pervades all sorts and most as much trouble with the Supreme bemeh as he had with the Hawaiian throne. ———_- += —___ Comventions and mass meetings are ordi- nary events in Washington, but the propo- sition by the Builders’ Exchange to bring about a consultation between representa- tves of the financial institutions of the city, delegates from the various labor or- ganizations, all manufacturers and dealers ia building materials, and “all others that the committee in its judgment may deem necessary,” is an uncommon one. It is a humane effort to relieve distress without the bestowal of charity and will surely therefore be weicomed by every self-re- specting mechanic, who, by the depressed fimancia! and industrial conditions has suffered as he never did before. The res- elutions adopted by the Exchange recite that “the Builders’ Exchange, desiring to | assist In the restoration of confidence, and thereby encourage those having capital to imvest in building to take early steps to that end, do hereby direct the president of this exchange to appoint a committee of five to draft suitable resolutions providing | for @ reduction in the cost of building for | @ period of five months, or until July 1, | 1804, the reduction to be for the benefit of | all persons entering into contract for work within the time specified.” Interest now centers in the prospective action of the labor unioas. The plan, so far as it has been | made public, provides for reduction in the | prices of material and doubtless coutem- | plates similar reduction in wages. Locally, this is the first test that has ever been conditions of men—and women. Urchins in knickerbockers and dignified, elderly citi- zens, tow-headed misses and matrons in sealskin sacks, tramps and millionaires—all are infected, and the result is a sort of razzia that would disgrace a band of bedou- ins. The park commissioners should put an end to it. If summary arrests and exem- plary fines will not stop the raid the park should be closed. It is outrageous that the people of this town should make a spectacle of themselves before high heaven after car- rying to a triumphant conclusion the might- jest artistic enterprise of the nineteenth century. ————_++ > ______ A Wholesome Rivairy. From the Omaha Bee. So long as the New York charity ball netted $12,000 as an offering to the destitute satisfied until its charity ball outdoes this achievement of New York. But healthy rivairy in this instance will be all the more welcome to the poor in both cities. Tern About. From the New York World.

From the New York World. Until all men are saints there can be no taxation without misrepresentation. It is sickening to think how wicked Lon- applied by a strong organization tw the don must be getting with Editor Stead away. we may be sure that Chicago won't be| Beyond the debate on the Wilson tariff bill in the House of Representatives the most interesting event of the week was the arrival from Honolulu of the steamer War- rimoo with advices confirming the report that the ex-queen of the Hawalian Islands had agreed to the conditions imposed by President Cleveland, and that Minister Wil- Ms had informed the provisional government that the President believed in the queen's right to the throne. It was announced that the “Hawaiian incident” was now closed, so far as the administration was concerned, and that instructions would be sent to Minister Willis to take no further action. Many industrial enterprises have started again throughout the country, but there ap- Pears to be little diminution in the vast army of the unemployed. In all the cities efforts are being made to relieve the dis- tressed. Public works are being advanced and charitable schemes pushed. Appeals come from all quarters to hasten the action of Congress on the tariff bill, many be- lieving that uncertainty is worse than any action for the industrial interests of the country. A war of the legislators has been ‘waged at Trenton, N. J., which has had more than passing interest. The democratic senators organized without the participa- tion of the republican members, who re- fused to recognize the action, and organized also by themselves. After the democrats had adjourned, the republicans proceeded to the senate chamber and broke in the doors and held the chamber. The following day the democrats again took possession. Since then each side has met, called the roll, and adjourned for lack of a quorum. Another interesting dispute has been waged down in Florida between the governor and the sporting men, the former declaring that the Corbett-Mitchell fight shall not take place, and the latter promising that it shall. The Jacksonville authorities have issued a license for the fight on the 25th, but as that was expected as a matter of course, nothing decisive has been determined. It is the general belief that the sporting men will endeavor to steal away quietiy ant hold the fight before the governor knows where they have gone. Meanwhile, the better element of the people is sustaining the governor in his determination. A destructive fire visit- ed the world’s fair grounds at Chicago early in the week, and the casino, music hall and the grand peristyle were burned, together with some of the exhibits in the manufac- tures’ building. Governor McKinley of Ohio and Governor Jackson’ of;lowa. were inaugurated. The Pennsylvania democratic convention nominated James D. Hancock for Con: isman-at-large, to oppose ex- Speaker Grow. The President and the Wil- son tariff bill were indorsed. Admiral Fair- fax died at Hagerstown, Md. Abroad. A report was received in Patis during the week that President Peixoto had resigned his position as executive of the Brazilian republic. It was not given much credence, and was promptly denied. It is believed that the Brazilian governmegt expects to shortly crush the rebellion. Its navy is be- ing increased so that Mello's Jget pari hard- ly escape if it doesn’t wish to’ risk battle. Meanwhile, Admiral da Gamia''betfays the weakness of his cause by igsuing ‘another manifesto. This time it is not a pronuncia- | mento in favor of monarchy, but a protest i against militarism in the persén of Petxoto. Vaillant, who hurled the bomb in the French chamber of deputies in December, was put on trial in Parts and convicted and sentenced to death all in one day. A move- ment has been started in France to abolish the public execution of criminals, and thus give condemned anarchists no opportunity to pose as martyrs. In the house of com- mons, Mr. Gladstone said that he feared a proposition for the disarmament of, Euro- pean countries would not be favorably re- cetved. The French chamber of deputies and the reichstag resumed sessions. Aus- tria-Hungary has begun preparations, to re- sume specie payments. im the District, - The feature of the week in local political circles was the nomination of Mn. A. A. Wilson to be marshal of the District.. The nomination was promptly confirmed, and so was that of Mr, Ross, whose mame had been sent to the Senate as Com- missioner of the District. A number of im- portant local interests were discussed in re- ports which were read at the annua! meet- ing of the board of trade. Representatives of nine citizens’ associations adopted memorial to be presented to Congress, - ting forth the. relations of the District to the general ‘ ment; this ection was suggested by Representative De Armond's bill, which proposes to do away with the present financial arrangement. The old Ford's Theater building was pronounced by a board ofvarmy engineers to be ‘unsafe. The work of relief, under the auspices of the central relief committee, goes on, and the details for the proposed systematic can- vass of the city for contributions of food and money are gradually taking shape. As a forerunner of the Moody meetings, which will be held. here hext month, Mr. Sankey came to the city and held a big praise meet- ing, and arranged for the organization of a choir of 1,590 voices. The District Commis- sioners completed thetr model street rail- way bill. A distinguished company sat down to the arnual dinner given by the Bowdoin Alumni Association, SHOOTING STARS.
