NOYES. . pe : THE EVENING STAR has a regular an permanent circulation nearly Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. &7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of al absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- Sce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Departm: according to tenor or purpose. Find or make work for some of the un- employed! Practical benevolence and busi- mess common sense drive home this injunc- tion to every man and woman whose re- ceipts bear that relation of superiority to expenditures, which, under Micawber’s theory, leads to happiness. é The municipality must do its part. It can ‘accomplish cheaply much municipal im- provement, and at the same time relieve destitution in a manner which involves no harmful consequences whatsoever by antici- pating next summer's work as far as may be practicable. Through its wood-yard the opportunity to pay for relief is already granted to a limited extent. If its local legislature, Congress, will pass the measure now pending, anticipating next summer's suburban grading, Washington will be en- abled to add its name to the list of Ameri- ean cities which have adopted this wise method of benefiting both the public and the individual. * Citizens, as well as the city, must make work. Washingtonians are already in large mumbers acting upon this principle. The building trades propose to reduce prices, and the suggestion has also been made of a slight temporary reduction in wages, en- couraging building operations and causing the same amount of money to furnish work to a larger number of the unemployed; and the building public is reasonably expected on its part to reciprocate these concessions and build extensively and immediately. Other kinds of work are to be encouraged or devised and pushed by individuals. In one of his books J. G. Holland states the v ease very clearly and convincingly: “If there is a time in a rich man’s life when he should indulge in luxuries, or, per- haps, I should say, use his money in such @ way as to give people work to do, it is a time of m like this. If he has building to do, let him build. Materials and labor are cheap, and he never will have so good a time again. He certainly will not if he waits until better times arrive. Instead of this he shuts up his purse, curtails his expenses and waits while people starve. “The truth is that half the evils which the poor are feeling now come from the rich man’s short-sightedness and cowardliness. Every luxury that he indulges in gives work to somebedy. Every enterprise that he engages in, puts bread into hungry mouths. I should say that every rich man who cuts off his luxuries in a time like this, or fails to devise all possible schemes to keep the poor employed, and then sits down and doles out his money to keep them from starving, most lamentably fails of doing his duty. I’m not a rich man, but if any of my good friends have more money than they know what to do with, I advise them to spend it for something that will give work to idle hands—to do this at once, and to do it all the time. The work that produces a garment which you procure as a luxury is to the person who makes it a necessity. ‘The house which you build in a time of de- Pression helps to bring the better time when you can get a good rent for it. ay fact is the good time we are all waiting for is locked up, in the form of money, in the coffers of those who refuse to use it to their own advantage and the advantage of those who are suffering for lack of labor.” ——_+-s Science has done much for the human stomach, and in a broad indeterminate sort of a way, mankind should be very grateful for many of the discoveries which have been made, but society has a distinct griev- ance against the unscrupulous men who deceive the unwary and often the most sus- picious and acute by counterfeiting articles of standard food and offering their imita- tions as original. Such conduct should be irore than frowned upon. It is nothing less than criminal, and cails for stringent legis- lation and feariess enforcement of the stat- ute. The constituent parts of oleomarga- rine may be healthful, their admixture cleanly, and the marketable result attrac- tive, but oleomargarine is not butter, and its sale by a dealer or ite proffer by res- taurant-keeper in place of butter is an of- fence not to be tolerated. That oleomarga- rine has merits—prominently that of cheap- ness—will be admitted, but what should be insisted upon is its sale and service as oleomargarine and not as butter. There are many apologists for glucose and for other well-known food adulterants, and oc- casionally such discoveries as are physical- ly harmless and palatable are lauded be- tause they reduce food-cost and bring within the reach of persons of small means suxuries that would not etherwise be avail- able, but there is no excuse in that fact for the deception which is so universally practised. Oleomargarine is not butter; Glucose is not sugar. —_+-+_____ Inconsiderate people are predicting the destruction of the world by collision with a comet. Novelty is evidently as scarce a quantity in modern prophecy as it is in the modern political argument. —__+ e+ There are ambitious and still hopeful can- didates who wish that even a fraction of the attention received by the Hawaifan trouble could be bestowed on the pie ques- ton. inf ——+ = _____ The Czar of Russia has a dangerous at- tack of the grip. This is one of the few ef his troubles which are not attributable te the efforts of nihilists. ———+ es It has been prophesied that if Europe is ever ruined, the ruination will be wrought by its warriors. If there is truth in that forecast, it must soon be discoyered, for Europe's warriors are already divided into hostile camps, and await but the word to spring at one another's throats after a wholesale fashion not pleasant to contem- plate. The European war cloud has been @ topic for humorists ever since the Fran- ec-Prussian struggle came to an end, but the situation Is no longer one to laugh at. Years of preparation of the most costly sort have resulted in the massing of armies more efficient in the art of killing than any similar aggregations known to history, and to prevent these forces from turning upon and rending those who fostered them and gave them their murderous education war- fare must speedily be provided. The aver- age newspaper reader has an idea that the vast armies now ready for instant service have diverted much money from channels in which it would have done great good, but only a few know how large a stream of wealth has been pouring steadily from the five countries most immediately interested in the impending conflict. France and Russia, now shoulder to! shoulder, have been more extravagant than | the triple alliance—Germany, Italy and | Austro-Hungary. Fourteen ye: ago France had a national debt of $3,750,000,- | 000; last year it was $6,105,000,000, and mos| of it was piled up to prepare for the day} of reckoning with Germany. In 1878 Russia | Owed about $1,754),000,000; now its indebted- | ness is $4, Germany in a some- from $44,000,000 t upward from $1 Austro-Hu 550,000,000. Such increases | 22 these, great as they are, do not tell the whoie story, for all the countries mentioned | eve increased t and, in Italy to such hational content, Without cree to raise increased Italy must either w life from its asso- eiates or reduce its military and ne very considerab’ an extent as to cau mbarrassment, great popular ening of the allia ple | ¢ by taxation, | nor Austro-Hungary—struggling constantly with Russia in a diplomatic war along the Danube—will hesitate to do anything within its power to keep the Dreibund intact, yet the limit must soon be reached. Delay will simply strengthen the Franco-Russian combination, for its resources are by no means gone, while the triple alliance, s0 far at least as Italy is concerned, can go but little farther. Logically, therefore, the struggle must come soon—it will be to the interest of the alliance to force it. If, however, Great _ Britain should an- nounce its intent to join hands with the triple alliance, the situation would be changed. The Dreibund would not then feel the necessity of immediate war in preference to a struggle at a later period with conditions to its disadvantage con- stantly growing. The Gladstonian policy is one of non-intervention, so this possible settlement is not probable unless England should suddenly reach the conclusion that Russia is too near India and needs a warn- ing of the practical sort. ——+ = ____. Some forty or more of the heirs of the late Col. Nicholas Lotz of Pennsylvania—no relative of the well known Job Lots—are on the heels of Congress with a patent exten- sion board bill amounting to the comfort- able sum of four million dollars. Said bill to be for board and lodging for G. Washing- ton’s army at Valley Forge, also in the state of Pennsylvania, furnished during a very chilly winter by Col Lotz aforesaid. Ordinarily no objection would be made by any person who has boarded in Washington during the winter to a four-million-dollar board bill, but when we come to think of the kind of board and lodging our several forefathers enjoyed -at Valley Forge we really are forced to protest that four million dollars is, to say the least, in some excess of value received. Either that, or the hand of the iconoclast must be brought to bear on one of our most cherished idols of tradi- tion and those forefathers of ours lived on the fat of the land and had plenty to lend to their neighbors. Why didn’t the heirs of the late Col. Lotz cut that bill to, say, $3,990,- 999.50, so it will not look so much like a put up job to net each one of the favored forty a smooth hundred thousand. Round num- THE WEEK. Unable to secure from Congress the authorization he so earnestly requested, Secretary Carlisle announced that he would, in accordance with the provisions of the re- sumption act, issue fifty million dollars worth of five per cent bonds; indications are that the entire issue will be disposed of at not less than 120. Congress has bus- ied itself principally in discussing the Wil- son tariff bill, but some time has been given to satire on the Hawaiian question and speeches on the proposition to repeal the federal elections law. The Senate— moved by Senator David B. Hill—finally de- cided to reject the nomination of Mr. Horn- blower for associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; the rejection has stirred up considerable ill-feeling with- in the democratic party. Investigation into Hawaiian affairs is being continued by a’ subcommittee of the Senate committee on/ foreign relations; the testimony appears to be entirely unlike that gathered by “Com-! missioner Paramount” Blount. Senator Walthall of Mississippi resigned his seat in the Senate. Forty of the heirs of Col. Nicholas Lotz have decided to file a claim against the general government for some- thing like four million dollars, indebtedness | alleged to have been incurred by the nation for the feeding of Washington’s army at Valley Forge. Democrats and republicans | have continued to quarrel as to which was right as to the organization of the New Jersey Senate, and the trouble is far from being settled. Bomb-building artists at- tempted to operate in Lancaster,Penn.,with @ very fine specimen of their product, but the fuse failed to burn, and the building which was to have been destroyed is still standing. There were several railroad ac- eidents of note, but the most lamentably Prominent was the one on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at Hackensack bridge, New Jersey, where ten persons were killed and more than twice as many in- jured. Dr. Parkhurst continues his prose- cution of the police authorities in New York city, and his latest efforts have been quite successful. Registration of Chinese resi- dents of the United States will probably commence in earnest within a week or 80, the Chinese authorities having decided to recommend compliance with the law. A train robbery near St. Joe, Mo., caused a little excitement in the middle west, while the Pacific slope smiles over the fact that the new cruiser Olympia made 21.69 knots on her trial trip and earned a premium of bers are always suspicious anyway and in | $300,000. the nature of things cannot be square. Granting that the traditions of that terrible winter at Valley Forge are true, isn’t it more likely that the heirs of those who suf- fered there have a greater right to sue the heirs of the late Col. Lotz for damages for furnishing such miserable accommodations to his guests. It is well known that they would have changed their boarding place on the run if theycould have done so,but circum- stances over which they had no control pre- vented their doing so, and the late Col. Lotz had a frozen cinch on them and worked it for all it was worth. However, this will all come up in the evidence, and unless the Lotz heirs can show that they have a good many votes that they can swing in their county, by the spirit of ‘76, they will be downed by Congress in the first round, and they may use their old board bill for a bill- board and whistle for their claim. ——__ ++ ____. In the midst of the mutterings of the war spirit in Europe there comes a single note of great significance. The international air has been filled of late with rumors of the coming disunion of Norway and Sweden, and now the facts are almost here that will either bear out this possibility or temporarily refute it. Certain it is that whatever may be the terms of any make- shift peace between the two nations there will always be reason to fear disruption. Though geographically destined for com- plete union, the two countries are peopled with such differing elements that discord is sure to be always present. There is now noted a marked divergence between the Swedish and the Norwegian character, the former being milder and more gentle and more refined than the latter, which still bears traces of the ancient tendency to rugged, aggressive existence. The elections that are to determine the question for the present are near at hand, and it will not be long before the world will see the climax of this curious struggle, that has been grow- ing more intense as the years have served to cause the two countries to drift slowly but surely apart, commercially first, and politically later. The reasons for this state of things are numerous, but they have all tended to stimulate the sentiment in the breasts of the Norwegians that they have long been the victims of the king’s preju- dices in favor of Sweden. There are sev- eral possible results of a disunion, among which not the least probable is the for- mation of the Norwegian republic. The prevailing opinion in Norway is that the republic is inevitable in case separation is secured, but there is also a monarchical element at work that seeks to create a sentiment in favor of the establishment of an independent throne, for which Prince Waldemar, son of the King of Denmark, is already a candidate. Whatever the re- sult of the event, the hope of this country im surely that the separation—if separation must come—will be accomplished in peace and that the new republic—if it be organ- ized—will be constituted on the lines of this. ———+22s____ Reputable Washingtonians will be de- lighted to hear that Governor O’Ferrall of Virginia has declared against Jackson City. The governor is blessed with strong moral sense and during his long residence here he was frequently shocked by the doings at the place which, he says, “is not surpassed in villainy by any town on the Mexican bor- der.” Jackson City is truly a disgrace to Virginia and although some of its abomi- nations—the pool rooms—have the support of a rather flimsy technicality there would be less of lawlessness there if some of the offi- cers of Alexandria county were less sym- pathetic. The governor has also announced himself opposed to glove-contests (the po- lite term for latter-day prize fights) and is going to use the law’s long and strong arm to make such affairs impossible or un- healthy in Virginia. If he fulfils his prom- ises several so called peace-officers not un- known to District of Columbia “sports” will have to live off their salaries; hereto- fore more than one of them has frequently turned an honest penny by driving ring stakes. by isting the master of ceremo- nies and by removing traces of the strug- gle when the mob bad wandered back to the city. ———_ ee The statement of the engineer of the train that crashed into the Dover express last Monday on the Hackensack meadows, and did such frightful execution, would seem to shift at least a large amount of the blame from his shoulders. Engineer Hoffman of the South Orange local claims to have been hot responsible for the disaster. From his bed of pain in the Hoboken hospital he says that when he whistled his approach to the | bridge he received no answering whistle and had no reason to believe there was an- other train ahead of him. His most import- ant statement, however, is that if the road had used the block system the accident might never have occurred. This is proba- bly true, and the fact that such reasonable precautions as are furnished by the block system were not in use on this road reflects anything but credit upon its officials. The day when, to encourage infant railroads, car stoves, coal ofl lamps in cars, grade crossing and other primitive methods were allowed, is long past, and the sooner railroad officials and legislatures alike rec- ognize this fact the better for the rights of the public, and it is the public that should be considered first, last and all the time. _—_——— ooo It is just possible that Mr. Hornblower will feel a throb of grim satisfaction as he pays his ferry fare from Jersey City to New York. ~~ = ——___ Mr. Dalzeil and Mr. Johnson might col- laborate on a free-trade catechism, to be used as a supplement to one of Henry George's books. 0 Mr. Tom Johnson's proposed amendment ecting street railway supplies appears to have slipped its trolley permanently, Abroad. The European war-cloud continues to peep just above the edge of the horizon, but its real size is not apparent, nor does any- one seem to have knowledge as to the speed of its movement. France's legislature is endeavoring to mollify the farmer element by looking favorably upon a proposition to lower the taxes on agriculture, while the German Reichstag is discussing the advisa- bility of making tobacco a little more cost- ly. Italy is having a good deal of trouble with its finances, its anarchists, its anti-tax- Payers and a great army of unemployed. At Carrara and at Masse di Carrara there have been riots and proclamations of mar- tial law. The Sicilian troubles have not materially abated, and there is considerable friction between the Vatican and the Qui- rinal. The presence of French coins in the pockets of some of the discontented who were killed or arrested gave rise to the rumor that French socialists were trying to make trouble for the Italian government and indirectly to bring about a conflict be- tween France and Russia on the one side, and the triple alliance 02 the other. Spain is still chasing anarchists, and during the past few days captured several prominent specimens. A threatened ministerial crisis in Belgium was averted. The British gov- ernment has decided to raise money on a loan on Suez canal stock, for the purpose of increasing the navy, it being estimated that the expenses of naval construction for the coming year will be $35,000,000 more than usual. In Liverpool large numbers of un- employed workingmen are demanding labor and wages, while in Africa British troops have continued to remove what they be- lieved to be surplus native population. Brazil's warfare with itself continues at the same old gait; much ammunition wasted, but very few people hurt. At Home. The Ivy City bookmakers must stand trial, Judge Cole having overruled the mo- tion made to quash the indictments found against them. Two conventions have met here, and their sessions still continue; one is the annual meeting of the American As- sociation of Masters and Pilots of Steam Vessels of the United States, and the other is the convention of the Christian Endeavor Union of the District. The acounts of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club were footed up, and it was found that the club has con- tributed $2,844.28 for the relief of the poor of the city. The central relief committee opened headquarters in the Central Union Mission, where the work of giving help to the needy goes on. Owing to the opposition to the selection by Mr. John W. Albaugh of a location for a new theater building in this city, he has abandoned the intention of building at all. ——_+ +s ____ SHOOTING STARS.
