“A THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. ‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON — THE EVENING STAR has a regular a permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington datiies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. Gln order to id delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to ‘The local labor organizations in their just indignation at the failure of the House committee to appropriate for the District's million dollars of the District’s estimated revenues under existing law have gone to the extreme of petitioning for a violation needs of the half of the District’s surplus, which is contributed by the individual tax- payers, absolving the nation from its ob- ligation under the law ta contribute an equal amount. It is hard that we of Wash- ington should through an excessively high the abandoned tunnel; it is hard that any part of the local taxes wrung from the comparative poverty of this season of de- pression should be locked up unproductive in the vaults of the treasury; and it is well that the labor organizations and all citizens against the 50 per cent law, if we encour- age Congress to make inadequate appro- priations under the law by suggesting a willingness to make up the difference from our exclusive contribution, the 50 per cent law being so far suspended. If the District pays in taxes a million dol- lars more than It is now proposed to appro- priate, the present expenditure of that mil- Non dollars, unaccompanied by a corre- sponding national contribution under the law, means a gift to the nation of a mil- Non dollars and a loss to District develop- ment of that amount. What is far more serious, the suspension of the 50 per cent law in respect to this million dollars would obviously threaten to be the forerunner of its permanent and universal suspension, that is to say its repeal. The District ought uct to be pinched, and hampered, and embarrassed in its progress in the manner which is threatened, but it is far better to endure temporary pinching and municipal stunting than to spend as a million a po- tential two millions, and to administer to the 50 per cent law the severest blow to which it has yet been subjected. We must not discount the glorious future of the na- tional capital for the privilege of spending - immediately a million doilars of our own tax money. We must not permit the distresses and exasperations of the present financial situation to cause us to wriggle from the frying pan into the fire. ——_ ee Some time ago there were statements promising that the Maryland legislature, now in session, would, before long, consider @ bill which had been framed for the pur- pose of having electricity succeed the rope as a means of legal execution. The proposi- tion should not be smothered. New York has given the mysterious destroyer all the trial it ngeds, ‘and now no one can doubt the eurrent’s efficiency as an agent of man’s severest law. Electrocution is no longer an experiment; it is the humane successor of a primitive method in which the chances were all against speedy and painless death. But little more than a week ago, at an exe- cution in such a well-equipped prison as Chicago’s, there occurred one of those awful mishaps such as not infrequently make the dealing out of justice a greater horror than it was ever intended to be. ‘The rope broke when the trap was sprung, and the condemned man fell to the stone floor, a distance of eight feet; he was pick- ed up unconscious, with hfs head fearfully cut and bleeding, and was hanged ten min- utes later in that condition. Maryland has suffered much in repute because of dis- graceful scenes attendant upon two or three recent hangings. The state legisla- ture should see to it that there are no fur- ther opportunities for the display of brutal rowdyism by the crowds that gather to watch the contortions of a slow-dying criminal. Establish an electrocutidn plant im one or two of the principal prisons, and @estroy the condemned ones instantly and im private. ——____+ «+ —____ ‘Will not some of the Senators or Repre- sentatives whose vocal organs and gestures are in circuit with the electrical timepieces at the Executive Mansion, make plain the Position of the United States as to Hawali? Official information of the most meager de- scription has it that the two powers are on friendly terms; that the United States has @ properly appointed and accredited min- ister resident in Honolulu; that Hawaii has & duly-recognized representative at the seat of this government. And yet when the friendly government of Hawali celebrated the first anniversary of its independence, the United States minister at Honolulu de- ¢lined to decorate the joyful occasion with his presence, ordered the United States warships in the harbor to be solemnly silent, and did else in his power to throw cold water (for which few Ken- tuckians have any respectful use) over the @ffervescently jubilant proceedings. It has been stated that the friendly and fully rec- ognized government of Hawaii was thus offended by Minister Willis in order that the feelings of a Mrs. Dominis—wtio in the old heathen days was a comic-opera sort of q@ueen—should not be ruffled. This remark- able care for the sensibilities of one of the most depraved of womankind—a wholesale murderess in heart, if not in deed—is affect- ing in the extreme. ——_roo>—____ The present is a great season for revivals, both moral and financial. —_roo____ The late George William Curtis once re- marked that “the test of civilization is the estimate of woman.” If that be really so then the highest forms of our civilization should be found in some of those out-of-the- way places where women are extremely scarce. After a feeble and perfunctory sort of a fashion woman is appreciated in the regions where she is a numerical majority, but the respect which is paid her in the Sreat cities is as nothing when compared | with the worship lavished upon her in the | desert places where vile man has for a geason been engaged in trying to run his household affairs, his private business and the public welfare at one and the same time. Such a piace is the Cherokee Strip— the land of milk and honey, which needs only lovely woman to convert it into a veritable Fden. This information reached Washington a couple of days since in The Star's special correspondence from Ar- kansas City. In the same letter—printed on Tuesday—was other information that should cause a general uprising, equipping and migrating of those ladies who are Weary of widowhood or singic ulesscuttcon, In the town of Ponca (and doubtless in other budding cities not uamed) are many men who have sworn to become husbands @t the first opportunity. Business inter- ests compel these anxious ones to remain at Ponca, and in the ordinary course of e¥ewis it Would be years before all of them could be provided with partners—by which time several of them would probably con- clude to stick it out alone. It was decided, therefore, to send an agent east to offer such inducements as would be most likely to tempt a sufficiency of girls out into the now benighted region. That agent is on his way to Boston; may, in fact, be there by this time. “I am going east,” said he to The Star's correspondent, “for two car loads of women for our town. We need ‘em and need ‘em bad. We want them to wash our dishes, mend our clothes, wash our shirts, sew on our buttons and, gen- erally speaking, to make life endurable in our town. You see, it’s this way: We've got a regular woman famine; that’s what's the trouble. I don’t pretend to explain how it happened that Ponca city was settled nearly altogether by bachelors, but that is Practically the case. It is a coincidence, I suppose. At any rate there is not more than one woman to every twenty men in our town and they are generally women who have their household duties to keep them busy. * * * To be candid with you, sir, we are going after these women with a view to marying them after we get better acquainted with them. I am confident that many of them will have offers of marriage before they are ten days in Ponca.” The expressed preference of this agent is for New England girls, and it is no more than fair to say that he might have reached a much worse conclusion, but why were the fair ones of the District of Columbia dis- criminated against? Here, if anywhere, are the women in whom are combined beauty, health, industry and great opulence of re- fined intellect! If they are half as enter- prising as they are entrancing four or five sc#re of them will move to Ponca in a hurry, so that when the agent arrives with his be-spectacled carloads all the best places will be satisfactorily filled, and there will be lamentation among the bereaved bech- elors of Washington. —__—__ ¢-«--—___ It is hardly possible to estimate the num- ber of people who will come under the in- fluence of the evangelists Moody and San- key during the month of daily meetings which opened last evening. Convention Hall, with its enormous seating capacity, ‘was completely filled; thousands could not secure admittance; many were accommo- dated at an overflow meeting. Each evening will doubtless witness similar gatherings. ‘The power of Mr. Moody’s presentation of Gospel truth; Mr. Sankey’s vocal magnet- ism, and the great choir, cannot fail to at- tract the multitude. Some people will go out of curiosity, and a variety of motives will influence the personnel of the attend- ance, but whatever may be the character of the audience, it cannot be questioned that the results of this series of meetings will be wholesome. Moody and Sankey do not come here to add to the number of drunk- ards, or to crowd the docket of the police court, or to drain the people of their sav- ings. Their motives are wholly good; they aim to elevate the moral sense and they are continuously successful in appealing to and arousing the higher natures of men and women. It is true that these meetings in- volve the outlay of money, but not one dol- lar will be taken away by the evangelists; they do not work for money; their sin- cerity of purpose and their rare qualities of intellect and heart have stood the test of the glare of public life for more than twenty years. Mr. Moody’s career has been one of almost unprecedented success. At this time Bo one questions his ability or his magnifi- cent equipment for touching the emotions and capturing the calm judgment of unen- thusiastic men. Coming, as he has, from the ranks of the common people, struggling up through a youth and manhood of pov- erty, with none of the advantages of edu- cation, he is a product of American life commanding alike the admiration and re- ‘spect of all who think well of self-reliant manhood. He has had many imitators, but he still stands pre-eminent. Possessing com- mon sense in an eminent degree, he suc- ceeds where a great majority would fail. Mr. Sankey’s qualities are well known; his voice has charmed millions, and has worked incalculable good. The combined efforts of these really wonderful men deserve and should receive the support of every good citizen—whether he be religiously inclined or not. —_~e+____ One great satisfying thing in connec- tion with the passage of the bill repealing the federal election laws is that it gives the New York Sun something to be really happy over. ———-_re-____ There may be solace for Mr. Peckham in the reflection that <here are many cases in which the attitude of persona non grata is distinctly creditable. ——_>+=_____ The bill in the Massachusetts legislature to make foot ball playing a crime should bring out a strong lobby from the barbers. ——++>—__—.___.

The counters ace everchanging. As fast as the remnants show we hurry them off to their special place, with prices 80 clipped that you'd scarcely recocnize them. That is the penalty of being remnant.
