WASHINGTON. FRIDAY. —..........-.....April 13, 1804. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. @HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly the combined circalation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. . ©7Im order to avoid delays, om ac- it of personal absence, letters to Fire ‘STAR should not be addressed to See. individual connected with t bat simply THE STAR, o' the Editorial or Business Department, @ccording to tenor or purpose. ‘There is apparently good reason for be- Beving that the floating population of the trict of Columbia will be increased ma- before the first day of May. Ordi- Yarily an inficx of visitors receives a cor- @ial greeting, but the multitude that moves {m this direction at this time (the sound of whose footsteps is already heard) will not de enthusiastically welcomed by their fel- Jow-creatures who reside here. To such an e@pparen’ inhospitable statement excep- tions son plier be taken by Washingtonians who sympathize with the Coxey movement, but the statement is none the less true. Whe only popular feeling that exists to any ‘extent is one of apprehension as to what may happen when the horde of discontented fen reaches the National Capital, and nds here neither work, nor sufficient bread, nor the desired legislation. The omponent parts of the so-called “army” are now fairly in motion, and although the ‘Visible streams that trickle toward the seat ‘ef government are smaller in volume than they were advertised to be at this time, they @re entirely too large now, and may easily @chieve torrent-like depth and breadth ‘without an hour’s warning. From the west ome three divisions: One, led by the ruling Spirits of the ‘senseless crusade, almost @cross the Maryland state line after a ‘wearisome march over the snow-covered ‘Alleghenies; another, originating on the Pa- eific coast, is in Illinois; the third, also from the continent's western rim, is moving rap- | idly im this direction down the eastern @lopes of the Rockies. Philadelphia's con- tingent is coming along in a hap-hazard Dut determined fashion, while the Boston €rowd has aranged to depart from its local Fendezvous three or four days hence. New ‘York and Baltimore are booked to contribute many unemployed to the grand total, and ‘will doubtless do so in ample season. Then it fs known that a large number of men— | who may be professional tramps or gen- ‘ine totlers out of work—are conveniently ear to the city, ready to swarm in with the main body when that approaches the District line two weeks hence, but who are at present restrained by a wholesome fear ef the District's vagrancy laws. The mul- titude may not be so great when it reaches Washington as Coxey insisted it would be, Dut that it wiil be large enough to cause @isturbance is evidert. even now. Reason- able estimates place the number of organ- ized marchers at present looking to Wash- fmgton as their goal at something like thirty-five hundred, and if that total is not increased by the addition of even a single Fecruit it will be an unreasonably large and heavy burden upon this community. But the probabilities favor the incoming of a much larger number. Thousands of men who have not identisied themselves with the @octrines advocated by Coxey, and who are more for free food than for flat money, @re expected to ally themselves with the Procession somewhere b: een Rockville and the District line. It is more than likely that many naturally curious strangers will $ourney to this city to see the “Common- Weal” demonstrate or attempt to demon- Strate before Congress, and the coming of all these elements wiil surely result in the @ppearance of every burglar and highway- man and sneak thief and tramp who sees Promise of better business here than any- where else at that time. To meet the con- ditions the local authorities are doubtless making the necessary preparations, which Should be ample and so planned as to pro- Wide for any emergency. The situation is a serious one and should be treated after a serious fashion. There is sufficient time in which to arrange a plan of action, and there will be no extuse for failing to do so. Especial attention will be need to be paid to the policing of the city, and every effort should be made to keep “the army” together from the time it enters the city until those who are in control of affairs decide that “the army” had better disband and move on. ———+ee—_ From the storm-swept coast of New Jer- sey have come horrible tales of shipwre-k and loss of life. and the horror is not de- ereased by evidence which makes it plain that ome of the unfortunate vessels was entirely unfit for seafaring business even in calm weather and smooth water. The schooner that went ashore at Manasquan broke up almost immediately after she had been driven on the bar and every human being on board perished. Capable and un- prejudiced witnesses have examined those portions of wreckage that are now high and dry and these testify that the timbers of the vessel's hull were black and rotten with age and that new timbers had been mailed in places upon an old frame. But for this rottenness it is not unlikely that the vessel would have held together until the gale subsided sufficiently to zive the life- saving crew, stationed at that point, a ehance to rescue some of the sailors who must have been on board when their craft went aground. Is there no law to hold to responsibility the owners of the schooner? They must have known of the condition of their property. Navigation is sufficiently Perilous even when ships are sound, but it 4s an awful thing—for which someone should be held accountable—to send men to sea in such an ancient tub as the ore that went ashore at Manasquan on Wed- —__ + +s ___ Pugilist Corbett declares that he will ac- eommodate Pugilist Jackson with a fight. This looks lik» a serious blow at the coun- &ry’s “Uncle Tom's Cabin” industry. ——__+ e+ - Prof. Garner is permitted to occupy a Sood deal of the public’s time with telling what he has not discovered about monkey talk. ——_+ ++ ____ France is much disturbed; is in one of those nervous paroxysms which so fre- quently upset that most voiatile of na- tions. And the peculiar thing about the dis- turbance (or it would be regarded as pecu- Mar were the ebullition elsewhere than in France), is that it has been caused by ut- terances intended to have a pleasing and Pacificatory effect. For some reason, satis- factory to himself, at least, King Humbert | of Italy has been interviewed by a corre.- pondent of the Paris Figaro. Interviews with European monarchs are not frequent happenings in journalistic history, so it is to pve presumed that when Humbert talked to a reporter he did so because he had an object in view. If his motive in the present imstance was other than commendable, the fact does not appear. Throughout Europe there is a continual dread as to the easy Possibilities of war, end in the many fore- casts that have been made Italy has alway: been given prominent place among the na-| 4 who were supposedly anxious for 4 strife. King Humbert has endeavored to | tions @isabuse people of that idea, and is being Vocally assailed for his pains. After stating very plainly that the attacks on Italy origi- mate principally with the Parisian press, his majesty said know very well that in France I am represented as desiring war. It Is asserted that Italy wishes to put the match to the powder mine. Nothing allows Italy to go to war—neither her budget, which is so badly disordered, nor our wishes, nor our plans, nor our rea- son. We are too young a nation to risk such an adventure. everything to conquer our national unity. That unity ts now twenty-five years old, & We have sacrificed | | | | | ‘Choice Spring Lamb. ' and it would be madness to stake it in al ws game the issue of which is uncertain for any nation engaging in it. Those who think we have any such projects little know us. ‘We have accomplished too much in the way of progress during the last twenty-four years to risk compromising our pacific con- quests in a single day.” Such utterances are entirely sensible, and why the French Tewspapers should take offense thereat is something not easily to be understood. It may be that they base their exceptions to the interview on the king’s statement that his pacific sentiments are also shared by the Emperors of Germany and Austria, and by the Czar of Russia; the omission of France from the peaceful combine may have been regarded as innuendo. The tone of Parisian comment would lead even the careless ob- server to the conclusion that France is really looking forward to a great European struggle in the near future. If that be not so, then the condemnation by the French press cannot be understood. That hatred of Germany and a desire for revenge is the Most prominent of public passions in France is being daily evidenced, and it may be that King Humbert is being abused because his country has an alliance with Germany. With such spirit as that continuously rampant, the great struggle is not likely to be long delayed, and when it comes even the pacific Humbert will probably find himself compelled to participation in what will un- doubtedly be the bloodiest warfare in all the world’s history. ——_ + +2. The jury that yesterday came to the con- clusion that George Taylor, allas George Jones, better known as “Jack the Slasher,” was guilty of housebreaking has nothing to apologize for. Failing all other pleas, Mr. Taylor’s counsel naturally did all they pos- sibly could to prove their client insane, and in support of the insanity contention they introduced a great deal of expert testimony. But there was expert testimony on the other side also, and that, combined with the com- mon sense of the jury, resulted in Mr. Tay- lor’s conviction. It may be admitted, for the sake of argument, that Taylor's mind was illy-balanced—most criminals «re—but there was not the slightest proof that Taylor did not know he was doing wrong when he committed the offenses which scared this community for months, and over which Taylor will have lengthy opportunity for thought. The insanity plea does not work as well as it did some years ago; it has been too frequently misused. a 2 It is a remarkable fact that Coxey’s army generally gets to a given point just about when it s it will.

An Explicit Response. “Did you tell the hired girl that you couldn’t put up with her work?” asked Mr. Slimmins at the dinner table. “What did she say?” “She said that there was nothing keeping me here if I didn’t like the place.” In Doubt. “It's very sad,” said the sympathizing friend. “I never thought she would jilt you just because your uncle disinherited you.” “Neither did I. I don’t know which is broke worst, myself, or my engagement.” Rapidity. By Cupid’s way The world is vex: Engaged one day; Divorced the next.
