4 THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAROH 28, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY...........March 28, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly ible the combined circulation of the other ‘Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. 71m order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- Bce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, Secording to tenor or purpose. —— Se The board of trade meeting last night was interesting and satisfactory. The board is dealing energetically with live subjects, and is causing a notable Increase of interest, both among citizens and legis- lators in deserving projects for the ad- vancement of the capital. Action was taken at last evening’s meeting urging the creat- img of « free circulating library, with read- ing rooms open at night, for the benefit ef all Washington, and the erection of a much-needed municipal building. Every Washingtonian should constitute himself a committee of one to carry into effect these Projects. The reports of the committees im respect to them furnish all the facts nec- essary to convince the most skeptical of their absolute necessity for the public wel- fare. Armed with these facts, every resi- dent of the city should make clear to those of Washington's legislators with whom he has acquaintance the wisdom of the pro- posed legislation. The establishment of a publie library of the kind now recommended by the board of trade has been frequently urged by The Star, and, as the need of it and the great benefits to result from it are manifest, and as no money appropriation ts asked to arouse opposition, The Star is hopeful that if the people will now give a long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together, the library may be obtained. A new municipal building ts also one of the most urgent needs of the capital, and every effort to secure one should be made. ——— + «= The Coxey movement has at last as- sumed an interesting phase. Heretofore it has been rather amusing than otherwise, Dut now it is full of lessons. For instance, what greater moral could be taught than that of a Providential interposition of weather to test the courage and the inten- tions of the Army of Peace? What could be more edifying than the coming of a cold wave, bringing with {t gusts of snow and hard roads and frost-bitten toes and noses? Nothing in the range of the natural could be better fitted to the occasion. Should the march prove a fizzle now, as seems quite likely, the faithful can contend, with some show of reason, that the grand progress fatled to function because of the elements. ‘They can assert that “Old Probs’ was on the side of the plutocrats and the govern- ment, and that the day is yet to come for the grand demonstration. Of course, a feeling of disappointment is sure to prevail among them, but hope is not gone, if the ful! and interesting bulletins from the seat of war are accurate. To be sure, there Rave been grumblings and murmurisgs mong the common herd in the army, whom Senator Peffer is fond of calling the “groundlings” because of the luxurious tendencies of the grand crank, Coxey, nim- self. This enthusiastic individual has not contented himself with the ordinary hard- ships of the march, but has even been so bold at to tempt fate at hotels on the way- side. Ohio hotels at that! While there may be some of the followers who cannot discern gust the peculiar quality of Mr. Coxey's sacrifice, yet history will doubtless survive the shock of the invasion to record this peculiar demonstration of “equality” and freedom that has been made by the leader. There is one interesting fact to be noted. Coxey is henceforth to be known as the gentleman who was blighted by the same frost that ruined a Delaware peach crop. America would tremble with apprehension Were @ season to pass without the spoiling of a few peach crops, and this year of Ha- Wailan policies and seigniorage bills and @ther curiosities is not to be without its @istomary pomological ruin. The slangy might be tempted to allude henceforth to Mr. Coxey as @ veritable peach, but that is beside the mark. Coxey deserves a great deal of sympathy, and that is something that the peach crop never gets in this skeptical land. ————+ ++ ____ There is no longer any question as to the identity of the once-mysterious individual referred to with fear and trembling as “Jack the Slasher’—the criminal is safe in Jail and about as sure of a large dose of legal and well-earned punishment as any mortal possibly could be. Now that every- one interested knows who and what he {s, there are heard many expressions of sur- prise that an ignorant negro of the bucolic variety, with no burglarious skill except of ® native and unpolished sort, should so Jong bave defied detection. Not for many years has this city been so thoroughly ter- Forized as it was by the mischievous “slasher.” The entire police force—much of it in citizen's clothes—was continually on the alert, and it had the active assistance ‘ef at least one organized body of residents who, not unreasonably, were too scared to @° to sleep. But the “Slasher” continued to plunder and to slash until his course was run. Of the many clues that seemed to promise a capture while the excitement was at its height, not one, it ts now seen, was even reasonably founded; the cunning Negro was too sharp for the brightest of our thief-capturers. Had it developed that the man who held this city up by the slack of its garments and shook it so vigorously was a clever cracksman engaged in a meanly-jocular raid, the police could have forgiven themselves for their failure to catch him, but they find it quite difficult to offer a rational excuse for not being able to ppt their hands upon this agricultural and inexperie d negro amateur. With fourteen good ¢: against him, however, the ex-slasher fs not likely to disturb this or any other city for some time to come. ae Mr. St. Gaudens has relented and pro- Doses to allow the young gentleman the luxury of a spring suit. — e+ _____ It ts feared that both the peach crop and the Coxey crop will have trouble with the frost. ———+ ++ It Is more than possible that for once, at least, Governor Flower of New York has indulged in misplaced frankness. For some time past there have been suspicions that the governor was gradually but surely deserting the independent principles which have hitherto marked his course in the Empire State and was moving into the camp of the bosses. Testimony to that effect has been more direct and more plentiful during the past three weeks; or since the murder of Robert Ross at the latest Troy election. The crime in question—for which “Bat” Shea now awaits trial—aroused the decent People of Troy to non-partisan combination in order that the good name of thelr city misht not be permanently damaged. A com- mittee of public safety was organized, and this committee,composed of the best citizens, eame to lusion that the assistant district attorney was not the Proper person to conduct the ecution of a murderer who was operating in the interests of the ring to which that assistant attorney is alleged to Yesterday etghty-one membe ommittee of One Hundred journe to Albany to present rial which asked that state take charge They did not no nearer aim | © chamber. : governor that he would not . but would consider | eft the maruseript | informed the Srant them an fon made individual | efforts to reach the gubernatorial ear, tut all failed. Yet while the reputable delegates from Troy were shut out from the gover- nor’s presence, the door was open to less Gesirable visitors. The New York Times says that “heelers and tuppeny legislators Passed back and forth to the executive ehamber unheeded. James Dougrey, super- intendent of the Champlain canal, a notori- ous ballot-box manipulator of Troy, a regu- lator of cock fights and of dog fights, had free ingress and egress to the governor of the state, while the Committee of One Hun- dred was kept anchored in the anteroom.” The situation so disgusted General Palmer ©. Ricketts of the governor’s staff—and a member of the Troy contingent—that he wrote out his resignation and sent it to the governor by the most direct route. Gover- nor Flower does not appear to have read correctly the signs of the times. There will doubtless be much that is disreputable in New York polities for several years to come, but the chances aze that the man who sympathizes with it will fail to achieve official position through the popular vote. ‘The request of the Troy committee seems to have been reasonably based and the com- mittee itself—the governor’s so-called expla- nations to the contrary notwithstanding— deserving of more courtesy than was ac- corded it. —__~++—___—_— ‘That foolish prejudice which narrow- minded man so frequently puts in opera- tion against women who are endeavoring to earn an honorable livelihood has once more cropped up in Virginia. Belva Lockwood desires to qualify as counsel before the Richmond circuit court and her application has been taken under advisement in a man- ner that prophesies rejection. It has been stated that the refusal foreshadowed will be based upon announcement to the effect that the laws of Virginia are opposed to the granting of the bread-earning privilege to women who are learned in the law. Th Star has no acquaintance with the statute which is said to contain the absurd prohi- bition, and has a doubt as to the existence of any such measure. If, however, Virginia has a law of that sort, the sooner it Is re- pealed the better it will be for Virginia's reputation as a civilized state. Woman has shown capacity in every line of mental and many lines of physical endeavor; she is en- titled to all consideration and should not for @ moment be hampered by such old-fosy ideas as are alleged to be in the statutes governing practice in the Virginia courts. Doubting the existence of specific prohibi- tion, The Star sincerely hopes that the Richmond court will bear in mind the fact that this is the latter end of the nineteenth century. —_—_—_ +e —__. Had the House of Representatives devoted itself yesterday to the consideration of business from the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia it would surely have made &@ better record than it did. The entire day was practically thrown away, and it is only fair to presume that very many more days will be as completely wasted before the session comes to an end. Would it be entirely out of order for the District Com- mittee to ask the House for a few hours in place of those lost by the early adjourn- ment on Monday? Several bills of much importance now await action, and, in the ordinary course of events, will be untouched for almost two weeks. —-+o—___. ‘Yesterday, in The Star’s report of the Pol- lard-Breckinridge case, an effort was made to say that Mr. McKenney was the only one of Col. Breckinridge’s lawyers who was without a title. What appeared in the pa- per was that the Washington lawyer was the only one who was “worth” a title. It is hoped that this explanation will be ac- cepted and that there will not be a deep, unquenchable Kentucky thirst for innocent reporterial blood. —++e—_____ The determination in Rio not to shoot prisoners without trial would indicate a disposition to nfke the punishment some- thing lingering. —_—++s—____ The flaunting cold wave fiag has set quite at rest the fears that we would not enjoy the usual spring weather. ——_+++___ Mr. Prendergast is doubtless becoming skeptical concerning the talk of Chicago’s rapid way of doing things. ——~+s—____.

Oh, Willie, Willie, Willie, did you really write the plays That have made us all your worshipers so long. Or were you just a fakir, A dishonest credit-taker, Like the modern bard, who thrives on borrowed song? Oh, Willie, gentle Willie, were you friendly with the muse, Or just a portion of another’s plan; Did you wield a pen satyric, Philosophical and lyric, Or were you Francis Bacon’s hired man? Inform us, can’t you Willie, why in history we find Of facts concerning you a certain dearth; Did you have no intimation That while you took that vacation Mr. Bacon would be mortgaging the earth? Say, Will, are you the Willie who has put the world in tune, To music which must thrill forever more; Or just a malefactor, An uneducated actor?— For they do say that your acting was a bore. *Twould be hard to lose you, Willie, for your name we've long revered, And the depth of our affection makes us pause; Ere you're dumped into the chasm Of a vast iconoclasm Along with William Tell and Santa Claus. Steadfast. “You can always depend on the news- Papers,” remarked the man who was un- pleasantly notorious. “What do you mean?” “No matter how naughty you may be, they will never turn your Picture to the wall” Supreme Fidelity. “Do you believe in such a thing as un- swerving devotion to an ideal?” asked the young woman who has thoughts. “I should say I do,” replied the young man. “Woodby Witte has it.” “I don’t quite see how.” “He's so confident in himself that he is going to edit a newspaper at his own ex- pense.” ‘Taking Great Chances. “What makes you look so uncomfort- able?” said one young writer to another. “I'm thinking about what I shall put in my next article” “Thinking?” “Yes." f “Good gracious, man! You.musn’t do that. ‘You'll spol your style.” Not Qualified. “Mandy,” said Farmer Corntossel, “I'm thinkin’ ’bout goin’ inter politics.” “Fur massy sakes! Alr you crazy?” “Nope. I'm talkin’ right in my sober senses. I could run fur Congress jes’ ez well ez lots of others. I might even git ter be a Senator.” “You kin run to the spring fur a bucket of water—that’s what you kin run fur. The idea of you bein’ a Senator.

The Palais Royal has times of elevation and de= pression. to acknowledge failures. Glad to tell you of triumphs, honest enough The triumphal opening of the season in the Wrap and Suit Department has met with a sudden check this week.
