THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY...... -April 7, 1894. CROSBY S$. NOYES................ Editor. ——- @HE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation nearly double of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. 2 SS ee ee [7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of absence, letters to not be addressed to Leonnected with the of- ly to THE STAR, or to Business Department, Next Monday 1s, under the rules, District @ay in the House of Representatives. It ts hoped most sincerely that neither personal obstruction nor partisan consideration shall be allowed to interfere with the transaction of business that to the people of the District of Columbia is of very great importance. First on the calendar is the bill In which it 1s proposed to bring about a change of the motive power of the Metropolitan street- railroad and which incidentally deals with the indebtedness of the Metropolitan Com- Pany to the District. ‘There is every reason for believing that the overhead-trolley forces are gathering and concentrating their influ- ences for a final assault and that they will let no opportunity escape which promises Profit to thé greedy and unscrupulous cor- poration which they represent. The Metro- politan Company is on record against the overhead-trolley and in favor of one of the underground systems now known to be eminently satisfactory; supertor, in fact, at every point of comparison to the “cheap and nasty” motor which selfish or thought- less legislators seek to impose upon the people of this city. Fortunately for the gen- eral welfare, it seems certain that those who would willfully do so much of injustice are in a minority, both in the House and Senate, but even had they greater numbers, it does not seem possible that Congress could be persuaded to indorse the cumber- some and dangerous mechanism of which so many cities are now doing their best to rid themselves. of $50,000, two of the greatest overhead- | trolley manufacturing corporations in the country have admitted that there are under- ground systems far superior to the over- head abomination, and of this conversion— brought about by dollars and not by moral suasion—Congress should take note. Behind the Metropolitan bill, and needing imme- diate attention, are many local measures that cannot be acted upon until {t is dis-| ‘The amount to be exacted from | posed of. the road on account of its paving debt to the District, and the character of provisions concerning motive power which will with certainty protect the public, ought by this time to be reasonably clear to our legisla- tors. Let the House devote as much as possible of Monday to consideration of local affairs. The District of Columbia is not permitted to legislate for itself. May it not ask that those who do its legislating treat | the National Capital as fairly as they would their respective districts? ——- ree -— ‘Washington is often called the Paris of America—and Paris is the art capital of the | world. Will Washington ever be the Paris of America in this sense? Art in France is not a thing of centuries any more than in America. We may say modern French art | rests on what preceded it, yet in effect the same foundations underlie all modern art. There now live more than one generation | ef Frenchmen who remember easily when under the Empire the salon became the protege of the state, and the splendor and dignity of what we now include in modern French art rose slowly above the world’s | horizon to fill the afternoon of this century with its pervading force and beauty. It is not impossible to believe that such a period may dawn in the American art world. And if this awakening should come, by force of all things consistent this city should become its center and capital. Should there be an American salon? Most decidedly there should be, and there are many who argue that it should have the sanction of the gen- eral government as a part of popular educa- tion. Locally considered, a national Amer- ican Salon has been suggested for many years. Mr. Corcoran’s great gift, if nothing else, would have furnished this suggestion. Latterly the annual exhibition of the Wash- ington Society of Artists distinctly empha- sizes the idea of a great yearly exhibition, to which, under necessary conditions, should be admitted the works of artists from all parts of the country. the practical organization of such a salon might best be made under control of Con- &ress, precisely as that of the Smithsonian Institution was made and is maintained. The nucleus for a jury can be found in| those American artists who have received distinctive honors abroad, and citizens emi- nent in the art world are certainly avall- able for the offices of trust and the execu- tive duties connected with such an institu- tion. This idea of a national salon does not | necessarily require a great outlay of money. | France, through her state and municipal | governments, spends annually four or five millions.of dollars to buy pictures and stat- | wary in order to encourage her artists; but | this is not a necessary consequence of the | salon. American artists have at least the | Fight to ask and expect a standard of judg- ment, a criterion, which shall rest on firm foundations and be a source of wholesome incentive. The world’s fair furnished an excellent illustration of what in a small | and transient way the effect of such tutel- | @ge under the state might be. es The study of the Bible possesses fresh interest for each generation, in spite of | the countless numbers who have in the past enrolled themselves in the ranks of | biblical students. For the past five years | the American Society of Religious Educa- | tion has been in existence, and now it is decided to locate the society's headquarters | in this city. The decision is a good one, for not only is the capital city becoming | the center of intellectual thought and re- search, but it possesses in its libraries and | In competition for a prize | It is suggested that | one considers what these armies are com- ing to ask Congress to do there seems really no necessity for such pedestrian exertion and such risks of rheumatism. If Mr. Coxey desires to have $500,000,000 issued in flat money why should he con- sider it necessary to have the government do it? Why cannot Coxey pause now on the western slope of the Alleghanies, be- fore wearying his army with the hardships of a mountain march, and discuss the ad- visability of setting up his own printing press and issuing his own money? He might even distribute his money without requiring any consideration in the way of work on roads, a proposition that might be more generally approved by his follow- ers than the one to be presented to Con- gress. It may be that Coxey and his fol- lowers, for the form of the thing and in view of a possibly unfavorable construc- tion of the law against counterfeiting, pre- fer to have the government issue the notes, but, as a matter of substance, the notes printed by Mr. Coxey would be no more objectionable as printed lies, and the prob- lem as to their distribution would be less difficult. A government is, of course, only an aggregation of individuals, and its declaration that a certain piece of paper is worth a dollar will be no more effective in making it worth a dollar than would the declaration of one of the members of the aggregation composing it. No indi- vidual, not even Mr. Coxey, could, it is believed, possibly succeed in making money grow on a tree, nor could any aggregation of ingividuals composing a government perform such a miracle. It is doubtful, indeed, whether, in matters of magic, a government possesses one bit more power than the humblest individual. So, if Mr. Coxey considers the matter, it is fair to presume that the logic of the case will convince him that he is unnecessarily wear- ing out much sole leather, and that he can accomplish more quickly what he wants by issuing the paper himself. ——- wee In an ultra-hasty fashion, indicative of a | lack of such deliberation as should be had on an important topic, the esteemed Balti- more American says that “those who have | favored a National Guard to be uniformed | and equipped by the general government as @ supplement to the regular army, will not | find encouragement for their scheme in the | events transpiring in South Carolina.” The Premises are defective; the conclusion out of accord with reason. It is true, as the American says, that the South Carolina volunteer forces have been demoralized and | disintegrated as though they had been over- | taken by an earthquake and it is ulso true | that there was similar disorganization in | Kansas when Governor Lewelling tried to | be both governor and legislature, but the conspicuous failures to which the American directs attention are really arguments in favor of the proposition condemaed by our Baltimore contemporary. Neither the Kan- Sas nor the South Carolina militia were ever anything more than loose-jointed aggrega- | Uons of “tin-soldier” companies, lacking in | about everything they needed to be efficient | troops. The independent commands had | Mever been welded into a homogeneous | whole and were organized largely for social reasons and without much thought as to the possibilities of actual service. Few of their officers had anything like a sense of responsibility burdening them, and the chances are that the men were entirely un- educated as to their duties as soldiers and the nature of the relationship they bore to the state. This weakness would not exist or would be minimized to the utmost if the | troops were officered by men who realized | the importance of the oath that precedes the commission, and such men would speed- ily come to the front were the national guard of the country more nearly under the tuition of the War Department. The Amer- ican calls attention to a well-known fact | when it says that the volunteer militia of the United States was useless as an organ- | ized body when the war broke out in 1861, | | but it makes no note of the tremendous | Strides taken by the treops in many states | during the past fifteen years. Pennsylv: | nla, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, | Colorado and other states have had reason | to test their soldiers in times of trouble, | and nowhere since the riots of 1877—after | which most of the reorganizing was done— | has any command been found wanting. The old order of things—the ancient mili- tia—has passed away in the states men- tioned, and where once there was but little else than “fuss and feathers” there is now unquestionable efficiency. Until 1887, the military forces of the District of Columbia were feeble and because they lacked organi- zation, unreliable, but with the enactment of the new militia law there sprang into existence a brigade of soldiers, of all arms of the service, that to-day in point of efficiency is second to none on this conti- | nent. How things have gone in Maryland, | the American probably knows all about, | and if the state troops are no better there than they were in 1877—a quite improbable possibility—that is but an additional reason for the adoption of the plan to which the | American has hurriedly taken exception. “I am a democrat!" With the vibrations of that assurance still ringing in the air, the republicans of the Senate are today welcoming its author to their arms as a friend and a comrade. The alliance be- tween Mr. Hill and the protectionists against the peace and comfort of Messrs. Voorhees and others marks an interesting era in the history of the Union. It may mean much or it may mean little, but in the ight of the present state of things in the Senate it does not presage well for the pr {pect of an early adjournment of Congress. The events of the last two or three days show that the opposition to the tariff bill in the Senate will be bitter and strong, and if Mr. Hill on Monday should declare with any clearness his purpose to strive for amend- ments to the measure it may as well be considered certain that the June bugs will have come and buzzed themselves away long before the presidential pen touches the tariff parchment, if, indeed, that interesting document ever reaches the White House. The republicans have demonstrated their determination to fight every inch of the ground, and to force the democrats to keep a voting quorum presen: in the chamber at all times. Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy, aided THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. THE WEEK. ‘The disturbances in South Carolina have occupied attention during the past week. ‘They now seem to have been composed at least for the present. They were occasioned by the affray that followed the visit of a score of constables to Darlington a week ago yesterday for the purpose of searching for contraband liquors. The visit had been completed and the constables were at the railroad depot when a dispute with some citizens arose. Arms were drawn and fired and men on both sides fell. The angered populace pursued the constables to the swamps. The governor called on the militia to go to the protection of the officials; sev- eral companies refused obedience and were disbanded. Under the statutes, the govern- or took charge of the railroads to prevent assistance being sent to the citizens of Darlington, and established a censorship over the telegraph to prevent the spreading of alarming reports. ‘That night the liquor dispensary at Florence was wrecked by the people, angry at the governor's withholding from the town the dispensary’s proiits. Mar- tial law was declared in the disturbed re- gion, and troops were sent there. Quiet was established and the inquest over the slain citizens was held. Two of the constables were held to be guilty. They were sént to the penitentiary at Columbia and the troops withdrawn. The pursuit of the cunstabies was, in the meantime, given up and they were unmolested. he whole state was for @ time highly excited. Quite as exciting an occurrence took place in the coke region of western Pennsylvania, where large numbers of coke workers, tiuns and Slavs, commit- ted a great amount of damage, which cul- minated in the murder of the chief engincer of one of the works. Deputy sheriffs were sworn in and many of the rioters were ar- rested. The strike finally collapsed. The “commonweal army” of Coxey, which has been marching on Washington to demand the issue of government paper to build roads and give work to the unemployed, has slowly progressed toward the capital. The farmers along the route have been liberal with food, evidently thinking it better to hurry the army on than to detain it in their neighborhood. A large body left San Fran- cisco and “Gen.” Frye’s detachment from the southwest also progressed toward Wash- ington. The debate on the tariff bill was opened in the Senate. The bill to carry into effect the provisions of the Bering sea | award passed the Senate. The deadiock in | the House was broken by the unseating of Charles F. Joy and the seating of John J. | O'Neill of St. Louis. Another deadlock fol- lowed on the Hilborn-English case from California, but the latter was finally seated. There were several sharp encounters be- tween Indians and cattlemen in Oklahoma territory over the latter using the former's grazing land without payment and the for. mer retaliating by stealing cattle. Troops were called into the field. An attempt was made in the House to pass the seigniorage | bill over the President's veto, but failed; yeas, 144; nays, 114. The bill was passed | March 1, by 168 to 129. On Wednesday 120 | democrats, 18 republicans and 6 populists voted in the affirmative. The silver men were 74 short of the necessary two-thirds. | Town elections were held in many western | | states, resulting in sweeping republican vie- | torles. The republicans also carried the state election in Rhode Island by over 5,- | O00, the first time an election by plurality | Was valid. Judge Caldwell, at Omaha, hand- ed down an important opinion on the pow- |ers of the Union Pacific receivers, holding that they had no right to reduce the schedule of wages. Foreign. Owing to the defeat of the British minis- | try on a private bill and smail majorities | on other measures, the downfall of the | Rosebery government is predicted by the | tories. A resolution was passed in the | house of commons declaring for home rule | ‘in Scotland. An infernal macnine was ex- | ploded in a cafe in Paris near the senate | chamber, causing great excitement. Several bye-elections have been held in England, | | resulting favorably to the liberals, The bill | to carry into effect the Bering sea award | Passed second reading in the house of com- | mons.

A pew | Panama Canal Company is to be established | to complete the canal. Admiral da Gama and his fellow officers are being taken to | Portugal. Pondoland, in South Africa, has been annexed by the British without opposi- tion.

The action of the President in naming Charles H. J, Taylor, a colored citizen of Kansas, for the position of recorder of | deeds in this District elicited unfavorable criticism; a quorum of the Senate District | committee voted against the nomination, | but the question is still open, so the other | members of the committee may record their | votes. The sessions of the conference ‘of the |_M. P. Church continued during the week. | The National Council of the Colonial Dames | met here. Death removed two citizens, Mr. | Charles M. Matthews and Rev. J. A. Wal- ter, who have been more or less promi- nent locally.

The Commissioners reported ad- | versely on the bill chartering the Falls Church electric railroad, mainly on the ground that its proposed route was across | the reclaimed flats. The board of trade, at its meeting, referred back to the committee the report relative to the proposed railroad | occupation of the flats. Having disbursed | during the past winter the large sum of nearly $25,648, the central relief committee met and wound up its affairs. ee —___ SHOOTING STARS, Sequence of Ideas. “Hello!” exclaimed the telegraph editor. “Here's a first-class article from Ken- | tucky.”” “You don’t say so, minded city editor, screw?” responded the absent- “Who's got a cork- The Statesman to the Cartoonist.

Mr. Hill is known to thirst for the gore of the income tax proposition, and as this is generally considered to be the weakest point in the bill as it stands before the Senate, he is not s0 apt to go thirsty as certain enthu- siastic supporters of the measure would At all events, whether these conspirators against the peace of Messrs. Voorhees and others succeed in their design to amend or to kill the bill or not, they will most probably succeed In nau- eating the country with tariff talk, sched- ules, facts and figures until the leaves have begun to turn.
