4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. _SATURDAY..........February 10, 1894. CROSBY 5S. NOYES. Editor. ————— @HE 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- aetitor. eoent personal absence. letters THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, bat simply to THE STAR, or to Departmen’ Satisfied that the Wilson tariff bill is eapable of improvement, and possessed of @ belief that they are the people to do the ‘amending, the democratic members of the Benate committee on Finance have about “completed their revision of the House bill. (Changes have been made in many of the echedules, and, if the published forecasts are Feasonably correct, the measure is more nearly a revenue bill than it was when the House got through with it. But there is retained in the provisions a piece of legisla- tion that will cause the democratic party THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, inequality in social organization no laws or institutions avail, because it is nature's fixed decree that mind shail be the master and muscle the servant.” It ts pertinently pointed out that capital has in large meas- ure been often dissipated or destroyed. Ger- many lost almost al] its wealth during the thirty years’ war; France was nearly beg- gared by the revolution and the wars of the first empire; there was ly no capital in this country from 1780 until the mineteenth century opened up. Yet the fundamental principles of social economy were not shaken; mind subordinated muscle. Contending that, the only office that capital performs ts to increase human activity and productiveness, Mr. Peters directs at- tention to a scrap of sound doctrine that t+ | ought to be easily comprehended just now. “When labor can find no employment,” says he, “it is either because capital has been destroyed, or because intellect falls out or overreaches ftself, or because thrift becomes frightened and withdraws its store from use.” Comparison of the risks taken respectively by labor and capital show how much of safety there is for the first and how little for the latter—a phase of the question as frequently forgotten as that in which is displayed the indisputable truth that the creators of capital, “from the savings-bank depositor up to the director of vast industries,” are commonly sprung from the laboring class of society. The THE WEEK. At last the House of Representatives has taken action on the Hawaiian policy of the administration and has passed the Mc- Creary resolution denouncing ex-Minister Stevens and declaring against foreign inter- ference in Hawaii. The resolution was passed on Wednesday by a vote of 177 yeas to 75 nays. Mr. McCreary tried to get a vote the day before, but the republicans refrained from voting and the democrats failed to muster a quorum. Annexation was defeated by 90 to 155. Minister Willis was upheld by 138 to 98, and a motion to recommit was lost by 97 to 138. The in- tion by the Senate committee has been completed and the report sent to the printer, It is thought that the Senate will not take up the subject until after the tariff aecerion is disposed of. The subcommittee tee on Monday. The mmittee decided dur- ing the past week not to have any hearings on the subject and democrats expect the tariff bill to pass the Senate in March. It ig said that sugar and coal will be taxed and a higher tax put on whisky than that fixed by the Wilson bill. The income tax feature is to be retained. Mr. Bland on Thursday succeeded in getting the House to go into committee of the whole on his silver bill. In general terms his bill pro- vides for the issue of certificates against the seigniorage on the silver bullion in the treasury and the coinage of all the bullion purchased under the provisions of the She! rls!

It has been claimed that a majority is opposed to such extremely unfair class-legisiation the proposed tax, but the poll made was in- complete, and rather optimistic. Remon- strance with those who temporarily occupy high places seems unavailing, and as heavy but misguided politica) influences press con- tinually, it would seem as though the most ‘objectionable of all taxes may soon be fas- » »tened on this country. That it will fail to ‘Taise the revenue estimated is reasonably certain, and that it will arouse resentment ‘ef the bitterest sort is sure. If the revenue- producing amendments, which have been suggested as likely to be incorporated by the Senate in the Wilson bill, are passed by that body, the argument of necessity as a means of raising revenue, by which the im- position of the income tax Has been justi- fied. will be destroyed. The new tax will be unnecessarily imposed, and the hostili- ties engendered by it will be wantonly in- ‘curred. ++ “The Workers’ international Military Association” has met with a setback, and properly. That society, some time ago, made application to the authorities of Kan- sas for a charter, and in the application declared its purposes were “to organize and unify associations of laboring men, and issue charters thereto under the seal of the erder, to bear arms, equip and drill and discipline the same for martial protection pursuant to the Declaration of Indepen- dence of the United States.” The state's attorney-general gave the application care- ful consideration, and decided that such a charter could not, lawfully, be issued. The conclusion was as eminently proper as the application was improper. National and state laws (the former decidedly ancient, but better than none) make ample provis- fon for the organizing of all the armea forces this country or any part of it needs. ‘There are, in a few of the states, a small mumber of what are termed “independent military organizations,” most of which have the prestige of long existence, and are, therefore, permitted to bear arms and parade whenever they feel so inclined, but the number is steadfiy being lessened either by absorption in the National Guard or by legislative prohibition. The latter course has, at times, the appearance of in- justice, but broadly, it is right; the multi- lication of armed bodies not responsible to any one but themselves would be an evil of great magnitude, and, in many instances, | could not but threaten law itsgif. There is no valid reason why such an organization’ as an “Independent” company should con- tinue to be. If there was need of military force, its members would either have to serve with and as part of the National Guard, or else cease to have any claim upon the name of soldier. Washington has two admirable specimens of the independent companies—sound bodies and worthy of all confidence—but people who are interested in military matters wonger why they do not become closely identified with the National Guard of the District of Columbia. There ‘would surely be nothing lost by such a con- solidation, and there would be much gainea by all the parties concerned. ee Concerning the President's queen-restor- {ng. pro-English interference policy in Ha- wali, which has aroused public indignation | all over the country, the McCreary resolu- tion says nothing. But as it condemns the alleged interference of somebody else in comparatively ancient times and quotes ap- provingly the principle of non-imterference, it is easy to guess what it would have been compelled to say if it had said anything. The House ought to follow up this en- thusiastic indorsement of a presidentially announced principle, from which the Presi- dent has in action departed, by formal ap- proval through the votes of the silver men f the principle announced in the few scat- tered and guarded sentences of the Presi- dent which hint at permission of the further use of silver, and by republican indorsement of the principle announced in those sen-| tences of the President's message which squint at protection. The McCreary resolution presents the ad- ditional inconsistency of saying that we ought not, must not, and will not interfere in the domestic concerns of Hawaii, and of adding, Mm the same breath, that we will | interfere to prevent any one else from in- ; terfering. However, as this is really the | national attitude toward Hawail, and the | inconsistency is actual, its verbal state- ment can be criticised only on the possible score of excessive candor and unnecessary frankness, virtues that are viewed in diplomacy as crimes. +22 Econemic questions are now, and in this country, receiving more of attention than was ever given them in the past. Espectal study ts being made of the problems which cause the friction that in most lines of industry is forever superheating the two millstones—capital and labor. These great powers—although both essential parts of the industrial machine—lack everything that looks ke unity of purpose, and as the days go by the friction increases unreasonably. One of the recent efforts to bring about | @ better understanding of the situation with | the benefits which would surely accrue to| mankind by reason of the removal of a| too general misconception of facts is a Paper contributed by Alfred H. Peters to the Engineering Magazine, and dealing with what Mr. Peters calls “Labor's delusion | regarding capital.” The argument is based upon the belief prevalent among members of the laboring class, and more especially among the organized bodies therein, that the chief obstacle to their advancement, both material and immaterial, {s capital, or | wealth employed in the production of more | wealth."To overset this popular theory much argument ts brought to bear; proving in the main that the belief is without any | other than a sandy foundation. It is ad-| mitted that with the complete annihilation | of all money the purely capitalist class—| those whose incomes are derived from rent, | interest, or any other return that comes not through individual effort—would for a @ cease to be; but no thoughful person | I contend that capitalists will not appear * Soon as society commences to reorgan- ize. The brainy man of practical ideas and Purposeful methods would speedily be su- Preme while the man who owned nothing but muscle would toil for his intellectual @uperior. Aw dir, Peters suys “Agains? this | condemning the wolves in sheep’s clothing who arouse labor’s passion for purposes of personal aggrandizement and profit. If capital and labor would only awake to a realizing sense of their close relationship and if labor could but see that capital can- not afford te be and naturally is not its enemy how much of earth’s trouble would be eliminated. +o _—_——_ As to the real working value of the base- ball team which will represent us in the league contest during the present year nothing but that which is purely conjectural can now be said, but it is rot too early to make a suggestion to the management as to the comfort of a large class of prospect- ive patrons. The majority of those who are worthy and proud of the title of “ball cranks” witness the games from the rough- ly-constructed and completely-exposed ar- rangement known as the “bleaching boards.” Perched on seats that seem to be composed principally of aggressive and viciously- barbed splinters, and unprotected from either sunshine or storm, are the men and boys who keep alive the spirit of base-ball; the base-ball leaven of the community; the people who will uncomplalningly eat cold dinner six times a week so long as the home team does its best. These enthusiasts are deserving of more consideration than has yet been given them. The boards on which they sit should be planed, and over their heads should be stretched a stout canvas awging. When that has been done their cup of happiness will be full to over- flowing and only the umpire will be left them to kick at. ——_—+ +o —____ Unobtrucively, but with considerable real interest, the householders of this city have followed the proceedings of the investiga- ticn into the city’s gas supply and the relative cost of the product and its price to the consumer, The testimeny of the disinterested ones who were possessed of expert Knowledge as to gas manufacture indicated clearly that the illuminant which is used in almost every home in Washing- | ton could be furnished for less morey than | is now paid for it,.and that without cut- | ting the gas company’s profits down to an | unreasonably low figure. In Boston and |in Philadelphia good illuminating gas is | furnished at the rate of one dollar per | thousand feet, and in several other cities the ‘price is still lower. Why, then, may it | not be probable that in the near future the | Washington Gas-Light Company will sup- ply its patrons with all the gas they need on the dollar per thousand basis? Gas is | no longer a luxury; it should be supplied | a8 cheaply as possible, and of as good qual- ity as it surely would be were there two or three competing companies here. es The District of Columbia is deeply in- debted to those who have given freely of their time and money that the suffering | poor might be relieved. All the subscrip- tion books are not yet in, but, as has been announced in The Star, the amount collect- ed exceeds twelve thousand dollars. The sum is less than the estimate made when the work of collecting commenced, but its | comparative smaliness is fully accounted for by the extraordinary and long contin- ued financial stringency which still exists. The men and women who labored to can- vass and collect did nobly and are entitled to much praise. They laid aside business and social engagements with cheerfulness and entered upon their voluntary endeavors | with a spirit that knew no weariness until the respective tasks were done. > ¢-——____ The Excise Board yesterday declined most | emphatically to grant a lMauor license for | which the Sheas had made application. Fail- | ing to secure a license, the Sheas will, | therefore, be compelled to resort to the il- legal sale of Mquor which has been ihe cause of so much trouble. Then Sergeant Daley or some other officer of the law will | once more interfere and there will be more | assaults and more police court and more | jail, and, if the President is still determined | to defend poor helpless womanhood, more pardons. It may, in all friendliness, be sug- gested, however, that if the business of pardoning the Sheas be once taken up and be permitted to become a habit the Presi- dent will have but little time for anything else. ———_+ +s ___—_ Next Monday is the day set apart, under the rules, for the consideration, in the House, gf business presented from the com- mittee on the District of Columbia, if the chairman of that committee chooses to de- mand the day. It is suggested that there are a number of bills pending before the committee upon which the citizens would like to have action, and, inasmuch as Con- gress has been in regular session for seven weeks, and no District business has been transacted, the question faturally arises, is not this a good time to begin? —> oe The report that Sam Jones and ex-Senator Ingalls met at Nashville and organized a mutual admiration society is glad tidings to the lover of eccentric effects in language. ——_ +s __ If the ample reason for festivity in the Shea family should move Mrs. Shea to give a tea it would be no more than a gentle courtesy to ask Liliuokalani to assist. ee The lonely individual who held up a train in Nevada evidently saw no reason why the monopoly idea should not be extended to his field of endeavor. —__ + += -___ It is doubtless rather annoytng to Admiral da Gama to find Admiral Benham securing @ monopoly 6f recognition as a belligerent. —_~++- Mrs. Lease is not yet to be relegated to the stateswoman-out-of-a-Job class. —_—_ em Mrs. Lease does not belong to the three- round-school of political pugilism. ———— From the Atlanta Constitution lt is now plainly appafent that the Grana Army veterans are irciined to vote for At- lanta as the place for their reunion next year, if they meet with a fittie encourage- ment. ‘The railroads south of the Hotomac nave it in their power to control this matter.

It will be voted on next Monday. The repeal of the federal election laws was accomplished by the Senate on Wednesday and the President signed the bill the next day. The bill passed the House on October 10. The vote was a party one, with the ex- ception that Senator Stewart, republican, voted with the democrats, as did the three Populist Senators. The wreck of the his- toric warship Kearsarge in the Caribbean sea on February 1 was learned on Thurs- day and caused general sorrow. No lives were lost, but the officers and crew had an exciting time. A. J. McLaurin was elected U. S. Senator from Mississippi, to succeed Senator Walthall, resigned. Serious fires occurred at Omaha and Savannah. Some excitement was caused at Manassas, Va., over the report of a movement to lynch two colored rapists, but Gov. O’Ferral) called out an Alexandria militia company and the prisoners were protected. One was convicted and the other will be tried on Monday. Reports of reviving industries continue to come in. Abroad. President Peixoto of Brazil has decreed that martial law shall cease on the 26th and that the election of president ahd vice | President shall be held March 1. The nom- ination of Moraes is said to be favorably received by the insurgent leaders, and the election may end the revolt, for Admiral Da Gama claims that his revolt is prin- cipally against Peixoto. The coming. to- gether of Russia and Germany in the mat- ter of reciprocity in tariff duties is not relished by France, who seemed to think that the czar would stand aloof from the triple alliance after the expressions of friendship shown by the republic tast fall. French friendship seems to be prized by Russia more for floating a Russian loan than from sentiment, and as France failed to come forward with her coin Russia's friendship has undergone a chill. Vaillant, the anarchist who threw a bomb in the chamber of deputies, was executed on Mon- day morning and was defiant to the last. Russia is sald to be making preparations to seize Herat, in Afghanistan. , Another engagement oceurred between French and British outposts in Sierra Leone, Africa. French troops were defeated in the Soudan and fell back on Timbuctoo and entrenched. An investigation has begun of the. recent revolt in the German Cameroons of West Africa. It is said to have been caused by the governor flogging the wives of native soldiers. Religious riots have been renewed between Hindoos and Mohammedans in India. Lobengula, the former chief of Mata- beleland, is reported to have been deserted by his followers. The parish councils, or local government bill, has passed the com- mittee stage in the lords;*Salisbiry failed in his efforts to kill it with objectionable amendments. The price of bar silver reach- ed, in London, the lowest point it had. ever touched. Catholic prelates in Hungary have been encouraged by the Vatican to resist the civil marriage bill. In the District. In the size of the audiences, as well as in the interest aroused, the Moody meetings, which were begun during the week at.Con- vention Hall, are likely to be unique in the religious history of this city. The par- don by the President of John Shea, who was serving a term in the workho:se for violation of the liquor law, created @ good deal of comment; a warrant against Mrs. Shea, his wife, on the same charge, was nolle prossed in the Police Court, as it was held that the husband was responsible. The annual meeting of the executive com- mittee of the National Association of Demo- cratie Clubs was held at the Ebbitt.: The graduates of Dartmouth and Cornell ate their annual dinners and sang their col- jege songs and had a good time generally. The house-to-house canvass for contribu- tions for the relief of the poor has resulted in a fund of over twelve thousand dollars and all the returns are not yet in. At a meeting of the directors of the board of trade a bill providing for the revision and equalization of the assessment of property and a permanent board of assessors was approved.
