4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY.... February 3, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES... «++. -Eediter. WHE 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 no com- petitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, om ac- letters to @ny individual conn 4 but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, Secording to tenor or purpose. ; In effect Senator Vilas, in yesterday’s or 1879. It is but a short step in logic this position to the belief that the Sec- retary has the right to anticipate appropri- ations that he knows are to be made by the issue of bonds for the alleged pur- pose of maintaining the gold reserve, but for the actual purpose of providing funds for the forthcoming drafts. What is to pre- vent the Secretary from drawing on the bend money, only to be drawn upon again for current payments? What reasoning can stand in his way if once the right to issue bonds for the indefinite purposes that his bookkeeping may indicate is conceded? This may be far from Mr. Carlisie’s view of the matter, or that of the President,but it will, nevertheless, be generally thought to be their ideafif Mr. Vilas, their spokes- man in the Senate, should be allowed to ad- ‘vance these propositions without qualifica- to see in this apparently simple theory of Mr. Vilas the threat of an assumed right om the part of the Secretary to raise reve- nue, despite the constitutional provision that places this right in the hands of Con- gress, together with that of making appro- priations. The popular sentiment is undoubtedly that in the emergency which has arisen through congressional inaction the proposed bond issue should, in order to sustain the eredit of the government, be defended and justified, even if the law be subjected to a slight strain of construction in attaining this desirable result. But if redemption funds in the treasury can be used at the Pleasure of the Secretary to meet current expenses, and bonis can be issued and sold at the pleasure of the Secretary to replen- ish these redemption and current expenses funds, & does seem as if an unlimited power to raise revenue might be exercised by the Secretary, notwithstanding that power 1s reserved to Congress. ‘The public would like this particular bond issue to be sustained as an emergency case in some way that would not involve the gerious permanent results that are appre- hended. Or it would like Congress to be- stir itself, to pronounce for or against the Secretary’s bond issue immediately, and, if the decision is agalust the Secretary's power, then to authorize the bond issue itself simultaneously with the denial of the Secretary's right to raise money for current expenses without the authority of + ¢ = —___ Of all the notabie men to whom death has come during the past quarter of a century none left a void of such magnitude as that caused by the departure of George W. Childs. Humble in origin and compelled to struggle for livelihood and education, he achieved success such as but few men can command and f2we- still deserve. With “Industry, temperance and frugality” as his motto, he coaducted large enterprises Profitably and established upon a firm foun- dation one of the finest of newspape> prop- erties—the Philadelphia Public Ledger. And yet his business interests, extensive as they were, never interfered with his social activ- ity or the benevolence for which his name will ever be renowned. Thousands of men and women were proud to call him their friend and through this multitude and the medium of The Ledger, George W. Childs id incalculable good. A believer in private virtue he unswezvingly advocated public morality, and for many years must have possessed the plessing consciousness that his reformatory effor:s had not been in vain. His generosity was as sensible as it was unbounded ani the mourning conse- quent upon his taki:--off will be sincere and long-continued. —_ ree ___ “The city of Brooklyn,” says the Wine and Spirit Gazette, “has just apportioned 985.000 of roasy received from liquor Mcenses among the charitable and benevo- lent institutions cf tnat city. This simply shows that liquor selling contributes largely to the maintenance of the great philan- thropic agencies of the land. How much does prohibition contribate?” If that is not &@ remarkable que¢ton, where will one be found? And how sany men are there in the liquor business who would put such a query? Without any desire to open up a controversy as to the merits or demerits of spiritous and malt lMquors and admitting the right of every sane man to eat or drink that which he believes to be good for him, it may not be improper to call attention to the fact that the philanthropic agencies of earth would have very little to do were in- toxicating liquors banished. Irrefutabie tes- timony is to the effect that strong drink 1s irectly responsible for ninety per cent of erime, more than forty per cent of Ameri- can insanity and a startling percentage of American pauperism. —~ += ____ Senator Gorman will doubtless appreciate the readiness of the Maryland legislature to make the opinion department of his sen- atorial business a sinecure. — > o-___ Admiral da Gama may ere long afford to the startled eyes of United States office- holders the spectacle of a man who would like to resign and cannot. — + = ____ Never in any age has there been shown so much consideration for the man of small means—the toiler on whose industry is solid- ly founded the wealth of nations. Not so long ago the world’s labor, even of the vari- eties requiring reculiar skill, was performed almost exclusively by slaves, and when most of slavery departed with the savagery of early Europe, the artisan commenced tu be @ distinct and valued class. His progress toward comfort was slow under the con- servative European conditions, and in many of the old world countries his position is still far from enviable in more senses than one. Keenly conscious of weighty fetters, and realizing the deliberation with which redemption could move in his direction while encumbered with class prejudices, the anxious workingman turned his face west- ward and in the new land achieved success and station with rapidity that cannot be regarded as wonderful when the surround- ings and opportunities are considered. The migrative stream has been of great breadth and astounding depth, and as a logical re- sult, very many of the later arrivals are but little better off than in the homes they left; these are they as to whose present and future the sociologists and the political economists worry themselves. Many are the plans formulated for the improvement and intellectual assimilation of those whose associations in their leisure hours are doing THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 38, 1894—TWENTY PAGES. them and the nation incalculable harm. The time spent in tofl ts nat, save in rare cases, laden with pernicious influences, but the reverse is too frequently true of the waking periods during which diversion is sought. To remedy a dangerous condition, Mr. Hiram M. Stanley, in the Century Magazine, suggests that the great need is that of more wholesome public amusement, and a large percentage of his statement and the argu- ment which accompanies it is sound. To him the problem is not how to elevate the tastes of the “masses”—which he seems to regard as a useless endeavor—but how to keep their sensuous pleasures from becom- ing sensual. He asks: “is it wise or philan- thropic to leave the purveying of the lower forms of entertainment so entirely to virtu- ally trresponsible saloon-keepers and man- agers of variety theaters, whose chief con- cern is to make money at all hazards? Is it not worth while to try thoroughly, and on a large scale, an amusement palace which shall directly compete with the lowest kind of resorts?’ Believing that the average workman will always go where he can get the most pleasure for the least money, Mr. Stanley proposes to give him substantially the same pleasures, more attractively pre- sented, and at a small cost. The institution which Mr. Stanley thinks ought to be found- ed in all our large cities, should, he specities, consist of a large restaurant, with a num- ber of private rooms; a bar for hot and cold, non-intoxicating drinks; a theater, which should furnish spectacles, dancing and music without lewdness, and athletic exhibitions without brutality; a hall for dances; rooms for cards, billiards and other games; private parlors for small social gatherings; while, as subsidiary features, he recommends a gymnasium, baths, bowl- ing-alley, shooting-gallery, reading-room, brary, picture-gallery and panorama. The Proposition has a reasonable and attractive appearance, but the question is whether American philanthropy has yet reached the stage where it will invest its money in efforts to amuse, even though those efforts promise to result in great good. Such an establishment as that sketched would not, of course, be a financial success for a long time. Besant’s Palace of Delight for work- ingmen, as pictured in “All Sorts and Condi- tions of Men,” has served by suggestion as the basis of an actual and existing London institution on the general lines laid down by the novelist. Which of our American cities will be the first to profit by a work- ingman’s palace? — + ee “Storage batteries have been weighed in the balance and found—too heavy.” So says Mr. George C. Maynard of this city, in the Electrical Review. Washington is interest- ed in the story Mr. Maynard has to tell, for the narrative is of the experiments made by the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and out of which it was hoped that a suita- ble street-car motor would come. At con- siderable length the hopes and fears of the Metropolitan Company are displayed and there is much interesting information of the technical sort; all, however, leading to the conclusion that the day has not yet ar- rived when the ideal motor can be regarded aS a commercial success. Mr. Maynard says that “the motionless machinery, the idle cars and valueless batteries, the enor- mous hole in the company’s bank account are full of significance. Kvery avatiable means to attain success was tried and fail- ed.” Yet the electrician is not discouraged. de is sure that the result does not justly absolute condemnation of storage batteries for railway use, nor destroy hope of an 1n- dependent railway motor. He says that such a motor is demanded by public need, the inventive genius of the world is chal- lenged to produce it, and there ts a growing faith that, “somewhere in the conserved forces of the universe, there is a power which shall wipe the unsightly and ob- structive trolley lines off the face of the earth, shall bury the power-wasting cabies im their own grave and turn the faitnful car horse out to the enjoyment of green pastures and well-earned days of rest.” ‘That the storage battery will work well under certain conditions is evidenced by the operation of the Second Avenue road in New York and by other roads in kng- lend and on the contipent. it may be that none of these roads present tne grade ditticulties with which the Metropolitan Management has had such an unprofitable wrestling match, but they have—in the New York instance, at least—succeeded in securing batteries and motors much less porderous than any yet seen in this city. The successful storage battery is one of the certainties of the near future. 7 Carping critics who accuse Minister Al- bert S. Willis of discourtesy toward the peo- ple of Hawaii because he refused to par- ticipate in the celebration of the first an- niversary of Hawaiian independence should close the flood-gutes of their indignant eloquence and think for a while. It was most natural that President Cleveland's representative should decline to take part in any of the joyful ceremonies. His every effort since he landed at Honolulu has been to upset the government to which he was accredited, so it was manifestly impossible for him to be the government's guest on such @ conspicuously great occasion as that of January 17. To have joined in those festivities with any shcw of interest would have been rank hypocrisy. In his declination, Mr. Willis writes that “The United States finds it impossible, at the present, to participate in the celebration of national independence.” The Hawatian people should not be literal in their con- struction of that remark. Representatives of the United States at Honolulu may have refrained from participation, but the United States—which, by the way, Is on this side of the Pacific-was in hearty sympathy with the oratory and music and parades and fireworks and feasting with which the in- telligent people of Hawaii celebrated their emancipation. ——___<os—______ Ward McAllister might contribute some- thing interesting to current political com- ment by discussing the question of whether @ man could dodge his income tax and still be a gentleman. —_—_—_s oo It is reasonable to expect that, after re- cent experiences, the fact that a Samoan monarch is in trouble will not tempt Uncle Sam to take his mind off the Wilson bill. —__+ e+ ___—__ If half of what is testified on both sides concerning John Y.

Never has such @ scene been witnessed at the Capitol as that on Thursday during the closing argument and vote on the Wilson tariff bill. Although the result of the bal- loting was universally discounted, yet that did not diminish the interest of the country in the event. Thousands crowded the cor- ridors of the big white building, and the galleries were packed. Ex-Speaker Reed, Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson spoke, being greeted with enthusiasm; and then the vote was taken, resulting in 204 yeas to 140 nays. Seventeen democrats voted with the opposition. The Senate will take up the question early next week. It is thought that six weeks will be consumed in the de- lberations of the finance committee, after which a long debate will follow before the vote is taken. The sugar men are hopeful of having the duty on sugar restored, which will render the income tax feature unnec- essary. Next to the passage of the tariff bill the government loan has been the prin- cipal topic of interest. Early in the week Secretary Carlisle went over to New York and met the leading bankers with a view of inducing bids for the bonds, for there had been a hanging back on the part of capitalists. The bankers plainly intimated that they preferred a three per cent bond at par to a five per cent bond at the premium exacted, but were convinced that they had to take what was offered or nothing. Con- sequently, on the following day, they wheel- ed into line and over forty millions of the fifty wanted were subscribed in New York, on Thursday, and be in the neighborhood of sixty millions. Meantime the Knights of Labor, through General Master Workman Sov and Senator Allen of Nebraska, had endeavored to secure an injunction on the issue of the bonds, but Justice Cox of the District Supreme Court held that they had no ores Mee court, and their plea was rejected. @ legality of a bond issue for the purpose of securing funds for the government's expenses was not decided either way. That the Knights of Labor are Bot alone in their belief was shown in the the issue illegal. Hoar, Dolph and others maintained that it was contrary to law, and even Sen- ator Sherman would not admit that the Sec- retary could raise funds for government ex- penses without authorization from Congress. The vote on the resolution will be taken on —. Ming ad on the ‘eng — ions law has been dragging along in the Senate, as has the investigation of the Ha- waiian revolution by the investigating com- mittee. Sporadic labor troubles continue. ‘The Bridgeport, Conn., street rail strike is still on. Cars are the eS are afraid to patronize them. The atters’ lockout at ‘png wae has bap ape many employes asking for their old places, but few being taken back. In ‘western Pennsylvania Hungarian and Slav striking miners have created something of a reign of terror, but the appearance of deputy sheriffs put them to flight. It was found that an anarchist propaganda existed among them. Reports of reviving in- dustry continue to be made, and the Iron Trade Review notes something of an tm- provement in that trade, which is taken by some to be an index of industry in generai. The election of Lemuel BE. Quigg in New York city by the bap ratanges in a demo- cratic congressional district esteemed good for 8,000 majority was a surprise to both parties. Isidor Straus was elected by the democrats in another district. Maj. 3. 9, Turner was elected in Virginia to succeed Representative O’Ferrall. Abroad. The action of the American Admiral Ben- ham at Rio Janeiro on Monday in escort- ing an American vessel to her wharf was the sensation of the week. There was a Uttle firing, and this was the basis for wild reports of a battle and the subsequent sur- render of Admiral da Gama, the insurgent leader. Stripped of all sensationalism, the admiral’s act in guaranteeing protection to American vessels while loading or unload- ing was one of no small moment, and will relieve all foreign veusels a8 well of the irritating obstructions placed in the course of commerce by the rebel fleet. Such con- flicting reports come from Brazil that it is hard to say which party has the advantage, though it is generally believed that Presi- dent Peixoto will be able to wear out the opposition, even if he cannot whip it in battle. A sensat was caused by the re- port of Gladstone's speedy retirement, which was not wholly allayed by the qualified de- nial of the premier, who admitted that cir- cumstances might arise : t step necessary. The cuar’s imperial bron- chial tubes have been suffering, but are now said to be all right. The morbid Paris rabble have been staying up all night lately for several nights hoping to witness the execution of Vaillant, the bomb thrower, in the morning, but have heen disappointed. The Ling 9 has heen debating the finan- cial reform bill, which has aroused the cppo- sition of the liberals. M. Lockroy, in the French chamber of deputies, made a violent attack on the administration of the naval department, but the chamber voted confi- dence in the government. It has been such a job to get a premier in France that the deputies are bound not to be too critical. Bur- glares broke into the American legation at Rome, and, angry at not getting any spoil, destroyed the archives. A revolt against excessive taxation broke out at Oporto, Portugal. News from Honolnlu arrived, with advices up to January 20. Minister Willis refused to take part in the anniver- sary_ celebration over the founding of the new’ government. In the District. The forerunner of the religious interest which the presence of Mr. Moody in this city next week will awaken was found in the union meetings which were held night- ly throughout the city, and which had an average attendance, it was estimated by some, of three thousand people. The ap- = for money and supplies for the poor been meeting with a response from the people throughout the city, and the amount of money contributed through the hor house canvass is reported to be over $10,000. A successful series of meetings have been in progress under the auspices of the Sal- vation Army, prominent officers from other cities being here. The work of mak! B compilation of the laws of the District been completed by Mr. W. 8. Abert. Th ex- ‘hibition given at the Columbia Athletic Club by hired sluggers has aroused a deal of criticism, and it {is predicted in the future there will be a change in the style of entertainment. A verdict ity in the case of Dr. , charged with abortion, was rendered in the Criminal have or- Court. The wheelmen of the city ganized an Sheociation of clubs of cyclers. An express messenger of a Baltimore and Ohio train, when leaving the city, shot and wounded a man whom he supposed to be about to attempt to rob the car; the wounds inflicted did not prove fatal. —__+ ++ ____ SHOOTING STARS. “Er man ob small capacities,” remarked Uncle Eben, “ginerally r’alizes dat he can’t amount ter much ’ceppin’ ez a nuisance, an’ stahts in ter make a record in dat line.” Often Identical.
