THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY,: FEBRUARY 12, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY 6. NOYES................- Editor. ————— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permenent circulation nearly double the combined circalation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo com- petitor. 0 Se a cre ee @7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- wount of Washington is suffering just now from ‘the presence of a multitude of professional beggars; more or less unfortunate or vicious individuals who prefer mendicancy to labor and strong drink to solid food. This evil, which in its rapid growth has become a problem of great importance, has never been so prevalent locally as at this time. In winters past the police have been prop- erly active in suppressing street-begging, but with the adverse financial conditions of comparatively recent development there has come a stronger tendency to be char- ftable and less of a desire to enforce the law in all its fullness. But the time has come when sentiment should no longer be permitted such swing as it has had for the past two or three months. Encouraged by overmuch of individual kindness and fully conscious of the efforts which have been and ere being made to relieve distress in this city, tramps have journeyed hither in reat numbers to the discomfort of a large Proportion of the District's well-to-do pop- ulation. Emboldened by success, the in- vaders have at length reached a point ‘where demands have taken the place of re- quests—e condition to which the police should speedily put a stop. For this serv- ice uniformed officers are practically use- Jess; only in citizens’ clothing can the rep- Tesentatives of the law succeed in ap- Proaching the burly vagrants, who have terrorized some of the most desirable res- idence portions of the city. In the work of ridding Washington of its tramp nuisance the citizens can do much, especially by re- fusing to give money to those who ask alms on the streets or in doorways. Ample Provision has been made for the giving of food and shelter to those who are unfortu- mate enough to be without employment or other means of support. There is no rea- gon why any one should suffer the pangs of hunger or the dangers of exposure. Any one in distress will be shown the way to at least temporary relief upon application to a police officer; cash contributions of the casual sort simply encourage the evil which is now causing this community a good deal ef trouble. Let every citizen who has money or food or clothing that can be de- ‘voted to charitable purposes turn it over to the Central Rellef Committee, through whose agencies it will be properly distrib- uted. Give no money to the stranger of whose need you know nothing and the tramp problem will speedily be solved, so far as Washington is concerned. —— +02 - — -Bad weather always calls attention to bed roads, and as there are several defective highways leading from Maryland and Vir- ginia into the District of Columbia there is a good deal of popular interest in the agitation which has for its object a great public betterment. The only persons who offer any objection to the proposed work are those who fear the expense and insist that very many counties cannot afford to invest heavily in the road-constructing business. Touching upon this important topic the Engineering News says that “the advantages of properly-built and well-main- tained dirt roads seem to have been largely overlooked in the movement for the im- provement of our country roads, and it has been said, with some reason, that the move- ment in favor of good roads has been ham- pered to some extent by a somewhat too enthusiastic advecacy of broken stone roads, either macadam or telford. The cost of such stone roads is absolutely prohibitive of their adoption in many parts of the country, where, however, improved roads @re urgently needed. Comparatively little is said about dirt roads in the discussion on improved construction, but it is certain that very excellent roads may Se made of earth by a@ proper system of construction.” This im undoubtedly the truth. The friends of geod roads should see to it that such an obstacle as that hinted at is removed by the advocacy of carefully-made dirt roads in regions where the more permanent high- ‘ways are not now possible. The cost of maintenance of a scientifi- eally-constructed dirt road is but small and the returns are large. But, as the Engineer- ing News says, the mere dumping of piles of earth in wet spots or low places is not maintenance; it is mere waste of energy due to carelessness or misdirected zeal. ‘The expert insists, and reasonably, that with good dirt road once completed it would be found economical and advantageous to in- trust its maintenance to a few skilled and intelligent men paid for their services, in- stead of leaving the maintenance to the spasmodic attention of the farmers and their hired men. ——__ = —___ For years there has been agitation in ‘New York city for a “greater New York;” by which was meant the consolidation of Brooklyn and much of its suburbs with the present Gotham, thus giving to New York city an area of more than three hundred and seventeen square miles and a popula- tion of about three millions. The consoli- dation may or may not take place—the Proposition must be first passed upon by the voters of the regions interested—but if it does there will &rise a new and perhaps more perplexing question: “Who will be “*boss’?” Just now the municipal affairs of New York city are controlled exclusive- ly by Mr. Richard Croker, while the run- ning of such of Brooklyn's political ma-} chines as were not captured by’ the citizens at the last election has been supervised | by Mr. Hugh McLaughlin. In the greater field who will be supreme? Will Tam- many’s very hungry tiger swallow its at- tenuated rival or will McLaughlin take a fresh grip and by timely dickering save for himself at least a portion of the profits whieh im some mysterious way accrue to those who are fortunate enough to be- come petty monarchs in this rather com- plaisant republic? —_~+e—__—_ The problem before a democratic Con- j gress in the Hawaiian affair is to check the President's queen-restoring, pro-English in- terference policy without seeming to directly | attack and condemn him. The administra- tion, through Minister Willis, meddled and muddied in the domestic affairs of the | Islands until it became involved in a hope- legs entanglement, and then it called upon Congress to help it out of its awkward posi- tion. Congress, for fear of the American people, dares not tell the President and Minister Willis to go ahead with the inter- ference policy. For fear of the Presidertt | and political disadvantage i. dares not teil | him directly to quit interfering. So Con- gress is not saying a word about the ac- tions of the President and Mr. Willis, but Deunces fiercely upon another alleged Ha- walian interferer who can be made a seape- goat with impunity, being of the opposing | Political faith, and warmly indorses the non-interference principle, ingeniously but Gisingenuously putting it in the President's | mouth. The English royalist, Davies, re- marked, when the President referred the Question to Congress, that Congress would be “subservient” to the President and re- store the Queen. It seems, however, that there are limits to congressional subserv- fency— The House’s verdict on the Pre: dent's queen-restoring acts, construed from what it says and what it refrains from saying, is: “You are a good boy on seneral | principles; but don’t do it any more.” it is easily possible to make the request of the President to quit interfering more definite and specific, and consequently more from the verbally eulogistic phrascology. For instance, the statement of the Mc- Creary resolution, “We heartily approve the principle announced by the President of the United States that interference with the domestic affairs of an independent na- tion is contrary to the spirit of American institutions,” might be rounded out by add- ing thereto, “And we therefore venture te express the hope thet Minister Willis will in dealing with the provisional government act scrupulously upon this principle.” The resolution _— also with good effect be amended Anserting 8. clause warmly paar President ‘Cleveland’ ‘8 recogni- tion of the previsional government, in- volved in accrediting: to it two full-fledged ministers, and heartily endorsing the manly words of encouragement to that govern- ment spoken by. the administration through Minister Willis in presenting his creden- tials to President Dole. Some such declaration as this will voice the American sentiment tm respect to Ha- wail, and give the needed hint as to the course to be pursued there without hurting unnecessarily the President's feelings, which is, of course, above all things to be avoided. ‘This Congress may trounce Stevens for alleged past interference in Ha- wail till political doomsday, but the Ameri- can people will not be satisfied without an expression of opinion and a command in respect to the present and proposed future interference in’ Hawaii by Willis. The! American mind concerns itself not so much } with what has been, as with what is to be. Se The {ndianapolis relief committee buys its supplies in large quantity at the cost | price to wholesale dealers, and it sells them at the same price. Sufficient is given, or rather sold, since the applicant pays in Promises to labor, to last for one week | with frugal use. The ration for a family of four or five pefbons for the first two weeks in January consisted of twelve Peunds of potatces, ten pounds of corn meal, ten pounds of hominy, five pounds of fresh pork, two pounds of pickled pork, eight loaves of bread, one quart of mo- lasses, one half pound of salt and one cake of soap. The charge for this combination was eighty-two cents. Compare the cost in this city of the same articles purchased at retail, and {t will at once be perceived how much farther in the direction of re- Heft a dollar ,contributed at Indianapolis goes, than one contributed here, if spent under the system which has hitherto pre- valled. —ro-———_——_—. Considerable comment bas been made on the fact that the military board of Virginia has ordered that the uniform of the Vir- ginia state troops be changed; that the State uniform be laid aside and that in| future the National Guardsmen shall be| clad in the regulation fatigue uniform worn ! by the army and the National Guard of | | other states. The action of Virginia's mili- tary board is far from extraordinary. There is no prejudice against the loyal blue :iff Virginia, so there is therefore no reason why Virginia’s soldiers should not wear the clothing which is ed satisfactory in nearly if not quite all the subdivisions of this country. Gov. O’Ferrall has set a good example, if an example was needed, by ordering @ radical change in the uniform of his staff. Heretofore the members of that organization have been attired in gray, but from this time forth they will appear on occasions in full dress outfits that will resemble in every respect the full dress uniforms of officers of the regular army. —- +e em Governor Waite and Governor Lewelling |-might get a little variety in their troubles by trading Mrs. Lease off for the Colorado legislature. ——___ + «= The politically disappointed can calm their feelings with the reflection that this is Lent, anyhow. —___ -+ e+ ____ The Russian flag is no longer included among the embellishments recommended by Parisian milliners. —-- +0 The Princess Colonna’s accent may be slightly faulty, but her French leave is all right. -—_-- + ¢ e_____ Possibly Mr. Peckham feels that the snow this morning was a@ little premature. —_+reo— The Wilson bill will now proceed to run the amendment gauntlet. + SHOOTING STARS. Discontent. “Oh, hang the snow!” the kicker roars; “My joys ‘tis e’er delaying; Too much for going out of doors, And not enough for sleighing.” Opposition. “How’s the trade in comic valentines?” asked the inquisitive man of the proprietor of the small shop. “Not very good. Too much competition since the comic cartoons got so numer- ous.” “So you proposed to Miss Jinglegilt?” Yes.” “Perhaps it was a hasty answer. “No. She teok care that it shouldn’t be. She sent it by a messenger boy.” Precaution. Quoth Cupid from his valentine, “A wondrous broil I note About St. Gaudens and his art-- Ill buy an overcoat.” The sympathetic world i¢ now filled with grief over the shadow that recently came into the ground hog’s life. “See that man?” said one of the two people who were talking about success in life. “He has left behind lots of people who struggled to overtake him.” “Who is he?" “Conductor on a cable car.” Seven to One. Out in a merry western state There dwelt an intellectual madam Who, when new fads werf® started ‘round, With great acuteness, often had 'em. Her chief concern was “Woman's rights,” And with a patience rarely noted, She cheered her little band along, Until, at last, she really voted. Her step was proud, when at the polls, She gave her principles expression. She went there with opinions firm, Ttesolved to hear of no concession. But good intentions often stray, Mistakes will win, while wise men wonder. She found—and shed a little tear— Her single vote was quité snowed under. Across the line, not far away, Another woman lived obscurely. She read the papers, a8 they came, And told her views, though most demurely. The scenes of public toil she shunned, But gave the love which tones and mel- lows To sons who sprang up, lad by lad, ‘Till they were seven manly fellows. And in the twilight of her life She pondered well, while she was resting, To make her mind up on some points The villagers were then contesting. She couldn't vote, but still they bud The benefit of her reflection; For seven men went mother’s way, And seven carried the election. —_~+<«. jut One Course Open. From the Buffalo Commercial.
