THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. RVEDNESDAY......._..... April 18, 1594. CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne com- petitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, om ac- it of personal absence, letters to STAR should not be addressed to 'y individual connected with the of- but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editerial or Business Department, to tenor or purpese. ‘The board of trade by an overwhelming ‘vote reaffirmed last night its adherence to the principle of park protection. The cap- Ital’s strength, like that of woman, is in its beauty. The city’s attractiveness as a place of residence has been the main factor fm its material prosperity. Its park system Is one of the conspicuous features of this attractiveness, and this system has been preserved and extended and beautified only through the exercise of the most anxious and jealous vigilance on the city’s part. The action of the board of trade last night shows clearly that this wise policy is to be vigor- ously mairtained. It can readily be im- agined that a case may at some time arise when a great public enterprise, conferring Jarge benefits upon business Washington, may be impossible of realization without some sacrifice in the relaxation of the rule which protects every inch of the public reservations against encroachment. When that emergency arises Washington will undoubtedly weigh the considerations on both sides of the question thoughtfully, and, with both the present and future in view, will decide the delicate question on Practical and broad-minded principles, in conformity with the best interests of all the People of the capital. But no such issue is presented in the present controversy. The Failroad’s project offers no such large pub- ic benefits as those described to compensate for the public sacrifices; and any sacrifice ‘whatsoever on the people’s part is totally unnecessary, since the road can enter the city in such a manner as to accomplish all that it properly wishes without occupying the flats and without injuring the city’s in- terests in any particular. The public oppo- sition has not been leveled at the road, but at its proposed method of entering the city, and this company will be wise if it accepts the pointed hint given to it last night and decides to come into the city in the unobjec- tionable manne~ recommended by the Dis- trict Commissioners. —— > ____ After wasting a vast quantity of valua- ble time in inexcusable contention and shameful idleness, the House of Repre- sentatives has adopted a quorum-counting Tule, and now seems to be ready for the transaction of business. The conclusion reached is creditable to the intelligence of the House and no member who voted for She neve regulation need apologize for that act, although but a little while ago many of the democrats would have resented as an insult an imputation that they favored such a radical proceeding. The adoption of such a rule was an absolute necessity and it was demonstrated to be so before the Fifty-first Congress gave to Speaker Reed the quorum-counting power. The Present Congress erred when it failed at the outset to follow the good example set it without paying any attention to the non- material fact that the exemplar was a partisan opponent. It is interesting to note the great revulsion of democratic senti- ment on this important matter. The adop- tion of the rule by the Fifty-first Congress ‘was not accomplished without a great deal of vigorous objection. Its suggestion was denounced as revolutionary and one of the leaders of the then minority, but now ma- jority, in the midst of a turbulent scene asked the question: “Must the Representa- tives of the people remain silent in their seats and see the Speaker of chis House inaugurate revolution?’ This apprehension as to the manner in which the rule would ‘work also played a conspicuous part in that game debate. Even Mr. Crisp declared to the House that “the decision made with Tegard to counting a quorum, just made by Mr. Speaker Réed, if sustained by your ‘votes, will lay the foundation for the great- est legislative frauds ever committed in this country. * * * When you adopt it you stand on the brink of a volcano.” But ‘Mr. Crisp is richer in experience now than he was at the commencement of the Fifty- first Congress; he knows that a majority even when as large as the democratic majority in the present House—cannot be depended upon to attend to business. There 4s consolation for those who like to be considered consistent in the fact that much of the objection to quorum-counting was based on the action taken by Speaker Reed before the House had authorized him to count the visible heads and evidences of the presence of heads temporarily and for obstructive purposes in concealment. Some ‘who opposed quorum-counting ‘when it ‘Was operated by the Speaker ceased to @ppose when it was authorized by the House, and many others of the objectors acquiesced when the Supreme Court decided that it ‘was within the power of the House to make such a rule for itself. Of course, the action of the House is accepted by the republicans as a complete vindication of Speaker Reed's much-abused course, but that, to the Amer- ican people, is merely a minor something. Addressing the House just prior to adjourn- mert, in 1890, Speaker Reed said: “Time and distance are needed for a ripe judg- ment, and the verdict of history is the only werdict worth recording. Confident as I am of the verdict of time on what we have done, I am still more confident that the highest commendation will be given us in the future, not for what measures we have Passed, valuable as they are, but because we have taken so long a stride in the direc- tion of responsible government. Having demonstrated to the people that those who have been elected to do their will can do it, henceforth excuses will not be taken for non-performance, and government by the People will be stronger in the land.” A general verdict in favor of quorum-counting has been rendered by those who arraigned the Speaker as a revolutionist; and the peo- ple of the republic, without regard to party, are glad that it is so. —_~++-+ __ Plans for the reception of the many dis- contented and penriless men who are now on their way to the organization of the Commonweal “Army” which proposes to demor strate in the presence of the House and Senate on May 1 are plentiful as fi- nancial theories, but in most of them there is appearance of demagoguery, and as a rule thélr authors take no heed of condi- tions that must be hseded if law and order are to maintain supremacy. It is well enough to advocate hospital'ty and to plead that these invaders shall ve permitted to earry out their program, but those who suggest such things fail to provide for the susterarnce of the multitude, and are ap- parently blind to the dangerous precedent which Coxey and his supporters seem bent upon creating. Some who on paper declare themselves to be ready to welcome the commonweal are evidently impressed with the idea that the authorities here contemplate a military as- sault upon the Coxey cohorts and a scat- tering abroad of those who might survive the shock of conflict. If any such plan is in existence The Star Gees not know it, nor ‘would it approve of such action. It is un- questionably true that the movement of un- employed toward the national capital is peaceful In itz chaeacter and that most of those who are participating in it are hon- estly In possession of the idea that they can do no better than make a show of their con- dition before Congress, but it {s not well to lose sight of some of the probabilities which may change the Coxey program. There is good reason for imagining that Coxey may come to the District line with a present fol- lowing of several thousand, but whether Ghese thousands be few or many it is cer- tain that a large number of criminals will come to this city at the same time and will endeavor to create suck disturbance as will give opportunities for robbery. Washington will, therefore, be under the necessity of caring both for the commonweal and the criminal; the former must be fed and the latter should be imprisoned. To prevent @ mingling of the two ele- ents is the principal task, for unless they are segregated the city will practically be in @ state of siege; decent men and women will find the streets unsafe after nightfall. It must also be clear that unless the “army” is fed as an army it will beg as individuals, and the condition of affairs which would exist with thousands of hun- gry men scattered all over the city is one that must never be permitted to be. The plan that seems most rational and compre- hensive will therefore include an under- standing between the city authorities and Coxey; the encampment of the “army” in @ place where it will be under constant surveillance, and suitable provision for its sustenance. Before Coxey reaches this city he should be conferred with by a represen- tative of the District Commissioners, and should be asked to put himself in the keep- ing of the authorities, so that he could not possibly be held responsible for disorder or misconduct. He should be informed that precisely such a demonstration as he has planned will not be permitted, be- cause the law says it shall not take place, and if he agrees to the proposi- tions made him he should be treated as well as circumstances will permit. If, on the other hand, he persists in an effort to defy the law and proposes to give his fol- lowers the freedom of the city and individ- ual license to beg, the military forces should be called upon to escort the “army” into @ cemp, and there hold it until Congress—for Congress will have to take cognizance of this thing—comes to some disposing de- cision, —_—__+ ++ ___ It is to be hoped that the example of Mr. Smith of New Jersey as a frank and thorough-going opponent of the income tax atrocity will encourage other Senators to take a manly stand in behalf of sensible legislation. Mr. Smith’s reasons for oppos- ing the chimera of populism that has been attached to the tariff bill, are brief, cogent and forceful. He said yesterday, without mincing his words in the least, that he would do everything in his power to de- feat the income tax proposition for eight very excellent reasons. These are as fol- lows, and it behooves every member of Congress now drawing a pay from the gov- ernment that will be exempted from this 44x If it should become a law, to cut these reasons out and paste them in his hat: “First, because it is unnecessary; second, because it is unjust; third, because it is un- successful; fourth, because it is unpopu- lar; fifth, because it is undemocratic; sixth, because it is un-American; seventh, because it is unwise; and, eighth, because, on gen- eral principles, it is unworthy of an intel- ligent government, supposed to represent a free and enlightened people.” This is a strong indictment, strong in logic, strong in fact, and it will stand every jemurrer that may be applied to it. There is not a democrat or republican now in the Senate who can successfully deny these charges, and Mr. Smith deserves credit for putting them in such a concise form that even the Populist can grasp them. —>+e—___ The work of The Star’s special artist ac- companying the Coxey expedition is gen- erally appreciated, but it has received no more marked compliment than that given it by the Baltimore “Herald” in reproducing the sketches, though that paper neglects to mention that they were taken from the “Star.” —_+ > ___ Representative Swanson’s declaration that his bill for the repeal of the state bank tax will relieve the federal government from supervision of the state banks will not fail to remind a number of people that federal supervision came in very handily on sev- eral occasions during the recent financial crisis. —_—__++-+—____ It may be that Mrs. Shea Is using her ut- most endeavors to prevent the impression from going abroad, to the humiliation of our republican spirit, that the President pays more attention to the troubles of a queen than he does to those of a simple citizeness of his own country. —————- +e Mr. Reed’s arithmetic theory to the effect that one and one make two, regardless of the personal desires of the integers, was a long time in receiving official indorsement. —_++s____ It is a melancholy fact that the Brazilian rebels are not only objectionable to the pub- lic at large, but that they do not appear to think very well of one another. ——_~+=s—____. To Mr. Reed’s credit be it remembered that he did not attempt to mix financial considerations with patriotism, by copy- righting his quorum. ——_+ +s ____ Mr. Coxey has full confidence in the pro- priety of asking the United States to make itself the victim of its own flim-flam.
