THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY. -April 16, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES. —— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly 4 the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne com- petit: Editor. C7 Ie order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal a ce, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. A very large proportion of the dwellers fm the United States and a great many men and women who live beyond the bounds of this republic keep green the memory of the event which is inseparably connected with the 16th day of April; for on that @ay the negroes enslaved in the District of Columbia were relieved of their shackles by Presidential proclamation. That was the first material movement toward general emancipation, and wherever known—wheth- er in foreign lands or among those who hoped to be beneficiaries of a similar, but broader and equally forceful announce- ment—it created a genuine sensation and was applauded heartily by every human being who was opposed to the horrible doc- trine of property rights in human fiesh. Since the negro of the District of Colum- bia was declared free only one generation bas passed away, but the strides made toward civilization and financial indepen- @ence would be creditable to a people that had enjoyed the pleasures of liberty for m® hundred years. History does not record ® more rapid march from a condition of complete subordination to one that must command respect and admiration than that made by the negro race in the past thirty years. From being the chattels of others, many have become possessed of great wealth, hundreds of thousands have ac- Buired at least an average education, while More than a few occupy positions of emt- Bence in the fleids of science, religion, edu- Bation, sociology and political economy. It is unfortunately true that an uncomfortably large number of the generation just ar- riving at the age when they should be Most useful are vicious in their tenden- cies, but as the efforts of the faithful workers in their midst continue there must be speedy improvement. Elevating environment and the force of example will ¢@o their work; slowly it may be, but surely. There is a disposition among some, who Prior to 1863 were in bondage, to discour- age even rational celebration of this an- niversary. The tendency is unfortunate, for while every well-balanced American Gesires a cessation of the hostilities that apparently closed at Appomattox, the -or- inary instincts of common gratitude should move every American citizen of African descent to remember—publicly, if he is so inclined—that day when he or his Progenitors were lifted from darkness into light. + +< ——__ On Saturday there came to an end the ®elebrated case of Pollard vs. Breckinridge, which has occupied Judge Bradley's court ever since the Sth of March. No case of modern times in this country has attracted such wide attention as that which prac- tically ended with a verdict for the plaintiff. Perhaps the only modern parallel of this trial in point of public interest was the famous Beecher trial. The great increase of the facilities for transmitting and print- ing news since the days of the Beecher trial has been illustrated in the reports printed im the newspapers all over this land, and in other continents as well, of every proceed- ing ard of the testimony in the present trial. The general public in every corner of the land has been promptly and fully in- formed of all that has occurred in Judge Bradley's court room. The great promi- mence given to the case by the distinguished Position of the defendant in public life clothed it with an interest which no ordinary scandal could have had, and the newspapers responded to the general public desice to know all that was placed before the jury— for, as counsel on both sides have stated impressively, the public was an important party in the suit. No matter concerns the people more deeply than the morals of their public men, and it has not been wholly a prurient curiosity that has excited the great public interest. During the month or more that the trial has been in progress, so much testimony has been offered and so many matters brought up that it was not at all surprising that the people generally for a while lost sight of the main issue in the ase, which was whether a promise of mar- riage had been made by the defendant to the plaintiff. That question was answered in the affirmative on Saturday by twelve citizens who have given the testimony their closest consideration. The announcement that the case is closed will undoubtedly be welcomed by the reading public with a sigh of relief, for whatever the interest in it, every right-minded person surely believes by this time that the public has had enough of it — +++ ____ The bookmakers and their backers and Bssociates are now demanding a speedy trial of the cases against those who, in spite of warning, endeavored to uperate a betting-ring at Ivy City last winter. The anxious ones will undoubtedly be accom- modated. The defendants would have been tried long ago but for the fact that cne of their counsel was engaged in the Breckin- ridge case. It must not, however, be imagined that the bookmakers are suffer- ing from a spasm of virtue, that they offer themselves up to seek punishment for their offenses; they hope for victory over the statute and over clean public sentiment. But suppose the statute should be trium- phant, what then? The bookmakers who are indicted for violating the acts of 1883 nd 1891 might be imprisoned for five years and three months and fined $500, while the man for whom they acted as cats-paws Would, in the event of conviction, be Hable to one year’s imprisonment and a fine of $00. The bookmaking element professes to believe that one of the courts—probably the Court of Appeals—will not permit the in- dicted ones to suffer long, but it is difficult to regard as solid the premises on which the “sports” base their optimistic conciu- Bilas. ——_ + ee -—_ With women entering every branch of human endeavor and striving shouder to shoulder with men more and more as the twentieth century approaches, a discussion that has recently been started in the pages @ quarterly devoted to psy- ehological questions, upon the tople “The Exemption of Women From Labor,” has much of the interest of a post-mortem ex- smination. The participants in this de- bate are M. G. Ferrero, who started the ball rolling in January, and Prof. Lester F. Ward of this city, who replies in the cur- Fent issme of the magazine. Though be- lated, the debate is instructive and enter- taining. The arguments advanced by M. Ferrero are based upon chivalrous motives, While Prof. Ward, with the instinct of the true scientist, becomes intensely and point- edly practical, and claims that, whatever might be the ideal state of womanhood, the fact, supported by statistics, is that at least 2 per cent of the marriageable women of America are unmarried, and are therefore Without the natural protection and support that M. Ferrero presumes when he argues that every adult female in society is pro- vided with a husband, both able and willing to supply all her needs. With the aid of some census figures Prof. Ward picks this beautiful and ingenious ideal to pieces, and shows that many, many women are forced to labor in the fields of production, and oes on to prove that it is good for the world that they do so. Perhaps the most imteresiing portion of the debate is that which touches upon the matter of beauty. M. Ferrero claims that by exemption from work women are enhanced in beauty and grace. Prof. Ward takes up the cudgel here also. “He seems to refer.” answers the professor, “to mere physical beauty, and to ignore that higher beauty which beams from the intelligent eye, and makes one quite forget that it may be set in a plain face. While it cannot be denied, as he points out, tft ease and freedom from care produce grace and symmetry and conserve beauty and grace, there will nevertheless always be plain women, and unless these Possess something besides their ‘looks’ to recommend them their chances of securing partners in life will be small.” He goes on to show that the approach of age but adds to the beauty of the intellectual face, while it robs the merely pretty woman of her charms. “The female child of nature is a wax doll, pretty to play with for a time and then put aside. The enlightened woman be- comes the equal and companion of man, of whose society he can never tire.” Thus the battle rages, Prof. Ward seeming to get the better of his opponent on all sides, while he is comforted, no doubt, by the assurance that women are not only not exempt from labor, but are actually sought for in al- most every branch of production. The im- Provement in machinery, he adds, will add still further to the sphere of the usefulness of women, and increase their chances of happiness, for, he argues, that woman is happiest who is congenially employed to her own advantage or improvement. It is an interesting thing that science has at last begun to analyze the causes and effects of beauty. Prof. Ward should now be im- mensely popular among those women whom Nature may have slighted in respect to her outward graces, but who are well fur- nished with attractive mentalities. —_—__+ ++ ____ Organized labor has, to a considerable ex- tent, declared its sympathy with the crank Coxey, who is now on his way, accompanied by a multitude of supporters, to shout his petition for fiat money into the ear of Con- gress. But uniess Mr. Coxey changes his method of control, he must surely lose his friends in the Knights of Labor. Yester- day morning there was trouble in the Army of the Commonweal. Marshal Carl Browne and the “Unknown,” alias Louis Smith, alias E. P. Pizzaro, contended for commaad im the absence of the real leader. Tempo- rarily the “Unknown” was victorious, but as soon as Coxey put In an appearance he issued an ukase ejectipg the prophet from the army and conferring the honor of sec- ond place in the command on Browne. From the_beginning it has been Coxey’s boast that the army was run on a “mutual rights” plan, and supposing that Coxey meant just what he had so often said, the army appointed a committee of five to wait on the boss crank and tell him that their preference was for Smith; whereupon Mr. Coxey refused to have any dealings with the men as a committee, but said he would talk to them as individuals. Had this been done by an employer of labor, there would have been a great outcry against such tyr- anny, but as it was done by Mr. Coxey the act will probably not be criticised. —_ wee - Chauncey M. Depew frankly declares that the talk of his possible candidacy for Presi- dent is a joke. It is unquestionable that Mr. Depew’s reputation as a man of grace- ful wit and ready entertainment would hamper his campaign; not because of any fear that his after-dinner speaking would interfere with his efficiency as a President, but through an apprehension that veing President would spoil his after-dinner speeches, —____+ +._____ Senator Hill has been securing the warm- est praise and the bitterest condemnation ‘from the ranks of both republicans and democrats. If he had not committed him- self so unreservedly to the “I am a demo- erat” motto, he might go ahead and form a party of his own. —_——_+++—____. 4 Hereafter it might be advisable for a law- yer who-contemplates taking a jury into free and easy confidence to inspect the in- dividual characteristics of its members.

His beard was very shaggy; his clothes were very old, and his air was that of a discouraged man. “Mister,” said he, “if somebody’d give me ten cents I'd have just three dollars, even.” “Indeed?” “Yessir. It has taken me three weeks of economy to get that two dollars and ninety cents together. But I am now on the eve of realizing the ore great ambition of my declining years.” “What's that?" “I've been poor all my life, and yet I have always hungered for the sensation of riches. As soon as some kind-hearted man gives me ten cents I'm going to take my three dollars and mingle with Coxey’s army, and feel like a capitalist.” —_ +++ Open to Argument. From the New York Tribure. ‘The President's thick-and-thin defenders insist that Senator Hill's speech has not altered the situation in the least. That is a point on which there is room for a dif- ference of opinion. It was certainly a strong and striking speech, and it will be | strange, indeed, if it does not strengthen the feeble knees of some of the men who be- leve in the Wilson bill no more than Mr. Hill does, but have not the courage of their convictions thoroughly developed. —————__ ++ = Are These C.
