4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. CROSBY s. NOYES — THE EVENING STAR has a regular a ««++.-Editor, er ton dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petit: ot be addressed to mected with the of- 'y to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. ——— After giving careful consideration to the Dill in which fs the proposition to “coin a vacuum,” President Cleveland has very properly returned to Congress, without his approval, the measure over which there has been so much discussion. The message eonveying the veto is a rather remarkabie ocument; remarkable mainly because it is Perhaps the first of President Cleveland’s contributions to national literature that Presents its author as two distinct charac- ters—Grover Cleveland and President of the United Slates—at one time. As Grover Cleveland, he says: “My strong desire to avoid disagreement with those in both Houses of Congress who have supported this bill, would lead me to approve it”—and then the President appears—“if I could believe that the public good would not be thereby endangered and that such action on my part would be a proper discharge of official duty.” Personally ke would like to sign the bill, but officially he disapproves of it so strongly that he withholds his auto- @taph. Unabie to satisfy the Presidential self that “the proposed legislation is either wise or opportune” he, with some show of regret, announces that “my conception of the obligations and responsibilities attached to the great office I hold forbids the in- @ulgence of my personal desire and inex- orably confines me to that course which is dictated by my reason and judgment and Dointed out by a sincere purpose to protect and promote the general interests cf our people.” It is well for the country that the President is so controlled by the importance of his office and the mag- nitude of his responsibility as to set aside considerations of the personal sort in order that his public duty be not in any way interfered with. The message is not the Product of partisan feeling, evidence to that effect being scattered all through it. No mere politician would admit that dur- ing the recent financial disturbance, which “was unparalleled in its severity and Gisastrous consequences,” there seemed to be “almost an entire displacement of faith | in our financial ability and loss of confi- dence in our fiscal policy,” nor is there any marked subserviency to petty political reg- ulations in the eminently proper comments ron the construction of the measure. Of @ bill that might reasonably be regarded as @ perfect specimen of legislative drafting, debated and passed upon by some of the brightest democratic minds, the President says, “nearly every sentence presents un- certainty and invites controversy as to its meaning and intent,” and in the analy- sis—the post-moriem examination, as it Were—the President shows quite conclusive- ly that had he permitted the bill to be- come law it would practically be inopera- tive. This conclusion will, of course, be @isputed by the disciples of silver, and as friendship for silver generally means op- position to bond-issuing propositions of any sort, the possibilities of heated controversy are increased considerably by the Presi- dent's suggestion that Congress hasten to grant to the Secretary of the Treasury a better power than now exists to protect our gold reserve “when for any reason it should be necessary.” In his remarks as to the ambiguous character of the measure, the President insisted that “the present perplexitizs and embarrassments of the Secretary of the Treasury ought not to be augmented by dev upon him the execution of a law so uncertain and con- fused.” It i tely not likely that the legislators who were hit by that shot will go out of their to assist the Presi- deat in bringing about the currency re- form for which he pleads. But the Presi- dent is, nevertheless, There are very few men in the United States, having sufficient of the politician's characteristics to secure nomination and election as President, who could withstand hich has just been applied to Grover Cleveland, and who could make the tame showing of freedom from the pliability and complaisant and time- serving qualities of the mere politician. Whe pressure for a signature of the bill has come from his own cabinet, from the Senate and House, from the great majority of the democratic leaders everywhere, and threats of repudiation by his party, of a Possible disruption of his cabinet, and of certain dismemberment and defeat of the democracy for which he would be held | personally responsible, have been dinned in| his ears, with more or less of tact and dis- | cretion in the form of presentation, ever | since the bill has been before him. The! Pressure for a veto, while very strong, has been applied lar; through the medium Of petitions by mail or telegraph from busi- hess bodies, and the effect of such appeals is rarely so powerful as the direct and per- gonal petitions of party leaders, praying | for the party’s life. Now that the bill has been vetoed it is possible that the demo- etacy will discover that the situation was mot and is not so bad as it has been Painted; and that the chances of the party for success in the immediate future, already conceded badly damaged by ether causes, will not be seriously lessened by the President's action on the seigniorage Bill. In a President has not stultified has not destroyed which has been con- esmanlike, by truck- to be him cial iy sound urposes to financial ~ whether he party, he has chosen the fo land gets started right on Grover Cleve- tion his firmness or obstin ccording to the vie is an e of the! greatest value to the publi people Of the Unit e to be congratulated that in th es in the financial world they 4 of the govern- ment a m y the interests of ref tion to the inadeq most jails for the Bumbers of people at ae President Cieveland may find some com- fort in giving his imagination full range with reference to what would have beep said {f he had not vetoed the seigniorage bill. 7m by calling atten- * provisions made by commodation of large —_—_ + «= Mr. Coxey’s army may Breat re! after all, prove a ief to cooking schools and house- Washington who ency on the com- y of unemployed and hough the roster should an a hundred thousand could look wit ing hither of a unemployable men have on it more mames; they would even contribute toward the maintenance of such a force could they only receive assurances that would scare away the rumors of a brass band, said to be orgar th ward of Pittsburg | the head of Toxey (for h gistence to th should see to th districts his may even be th sions to the ranks, well be understood Bone of the music: teenth ward in Pittsburg will be permitted THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, to enter the District of Columbia until after it has given up its weapons and been bound over to keep the peace. Wash- ingtonians have had a surfeit of classical ary music of the type of “After the Ball’ “Daisy Bell” and “When Nora Went ont for to Swim.” They yearn for silence, unless the band happens to be a good deal better than any band that can be organ- ized among General Coxey’s admirers in the fifteenth ward of Pittsburg. For those members of the Army of Peace who arrive here with insufficient clothing there will be sympathy and perhaps aid; for the hun- gry there may be bread; for the disturbers imprisonment; but to the band no mercy will be shown. What need ts there of in- strumental music? Why should the grind- stone-like eloquence of General Coxey be drowned by the thunderous bombardon or the raucous tones of Carl Browne be com- pelled to competition with a muscularly- operated bass drum? Why the misnomer of “The Army of Peace” when the fifteenth ward band {is scheduled to cry aloud for blood? —__+s____. Maryland's legislature is, through a com- mittee, engaged in investigating as to the causes of trouble with Virginia over the oyster fisheries. That those fisheries—tre- mendously valuable and capable of great growth—are without proper control at this time must be evident tc any faithful reader of the newspapers. Citizens of both states are continually trespassing in waters where they have no business to be, and the result is all-the-year-round strife. Did this war- fare but result in the occasional wounding or killing of one or more of the most brutal or dishonest of the pirates there would be little or nothing to regret. But it seems as though the innocent among the oystermen are the only ones hurt. The damage done to the oyster beds ravaged is very great— more than enough to justify the appoint- ment of a joint commission to inquire into the trouble and to suggest real remedies. The demand for oysters increases annually, and to supply the market with all it needs the oyster fishermen will, if uncontrolled, kill, so to speak, the goose that lays the metaphorical golden eggs. Maryland and Virginia should join hands and at once pro- ceed to preserve and to make more ex- tensive the vast oyster beds from which so much of wealth is now dredged. ‘The in- vestment of even a large sum of money in the establishment of an unmistakable boun- dary. line and the equipment and main- tenance of a capable police force to see to it that the boundary line means something could not be otherwise than immensely profitable. The protection, cultivation and development of the oyster beds should be the policy of both states. ee The movement to organize a cremation society in this city is deserving of encour- | agement, for of all the methods by which hu- ‘nan remains may be disposed of not one appeals more strongly to the possessors of latter day common-sense than does the body-burning proposition. The Star has for a long time agitated sweeping reform in burial methods; it is in line with the best and most modern of scientific thought on | that important subject. There is over- whelming testimony to prove that ceme- teries, no matter how well kept, are prolific | sources of disease and have no rights to existence in the polity of this advanced age. On most material matters the world has moved ahead with great rapidity, but the old-fashioned style of burial yet re- mains in spite of the fact that it is a con- tinual menace to health and the direct cause of easily-identified and manifold ad- ditions to the death list. Where is the substantial difference between prolonged crumbling into dust through the revolting | Processes of decay, and the speedy reduc- tion to ashes by the application of intense heat? The same end is reached in both jeases. The ancient means are unsanitary | and out of place in the midst of a wise | civilization; the modern way of cremation |is rationally unobjectionable. a Georgia will be well represented in the Sen- ate if Charles F. Crisp, now Sveaker of the House of Representatives, should decide to accept the appointment tendered him by Governor Northen. It seems possible, how- ever, that the proffered honor may be de- elined, for Mr. Crisp is much attached to the exalted position ne now occupies, and, furthermore, is loath, by resignation of the Speakership, to precipitate a red-hot fight for succession to that piace. Democrats in the Senate who desire the speedy passage of the Wilson Bill would be delighted to |have Mr. Crisp with them in the struggle which is about to commence, and Mr. Crisp would doubtless like to take a hand | in that conflict, but his action on the sena- | torial appointment will not be dictated by Personal influences. Mr. Crisp is a consis- tent democrat and will do that which, at this time, seems to be best for the party. peace The public might, after all, endure that St. Gaudens young gentleman with equan- imity if Justice, as at present personitied in the District court, could be more amply | draped. —__+++___.

The artist, Chin Zum Sei, the best Satreuma maker of Japan, was passing through Siam on a fete dey, and con- ceived the idea of modeling two beautiful Sat- seuma Vases in the exact form of the Siamese White Elephants. The two vases were, upon com- pletion, placed on view at the Coby local exhibi- tioa, where they attracted immense crowds. One of the vases was, with considerable difficulty, se- cured by bis royal higness, the Czarowiteb of Rus- sia, as the natives were bitterly opposed to its falling into the hands of foreigners. Through in- fiuential connections ‘n Japan, and by offering a fabulous amount, I have at last secured the (ther vase. They are the only vases of their kind in ex- istence. In order to give all lovers of art tm Wasb- ington a chance to view this rere curlosity before | disposing of it, I will place it om public exhibition at my Japanese Emporinm for TWO Days, Tomorrow, Saturday, and Monday.
