4 THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. TH WASHINGTON. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. —— ——— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circaiation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. divi: ected with the of- flee, but pont to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, te tenor or purpose. ——— ‘The rumor-monger is generally a busy person at all seasons of the year, but at this particular time he appears to be work- ing twenty-four hours a day. This was to have been expected. With the headquarters of the Army of the Commonweal less than fifty miles away and with brigades, regi- ments and companies moving in this di- rection from all parts of the country, it would be strange indeed if there was lack of surmise and consequent silence on the part of those who delight in gossipy prog- Rostications. During the past few days there have arisen from all manner of anonymous sources stories as to prospec- tive action by the local and national au- thorities in dealing with Coxey and his de- luded followers. Grand consolidations of the police, the National Guard and the reg- ular army were preached as though such action had really been contemplated; the Commonwealers were to be met at the Dis- trict line and scattered by bayonets and clubs; they were to be arrested and im- Prisoned in a huge camp located in some out-of-the-way spot within the boundaries of the District; the police were putting in all their spare time in drilling; the National Guard was maneuvering in preparation for riot duty and doing many other things, Which, as a matter of fact, it did not need to do. The latest canard made its appear- ance in the darkness of early morning and was to the effect that some of the troops from Fort Myer had been ordered by the Secretary of War to proceed to Hagerstown for the presumable purpose of intercepting the central body of Coxeyites now on the march, and, if necessary, to slaughter a few of those who want the bureau of en- griving and printing to work overtime turning out fiat money. Just as there was no truth in the hundred flights of fancy in- dulged in by the rumor-mongers in days past, so there is no truth in the statement that United States troops have today been injected into the situation. The precise truth as to that one com- pany of cavalry, not at present at the post, will be found in The Star’s news col- umns—stated with the brevity demanded by the untmportance of the item. There are in the city of Washington many who would, if they could, be mischief-makers, and would really delight tn bringing about a cenflict between the Coxeyites and the au- thorities. Unless they can compel the on- ccming host to violate law, they will fail im their ill-disguised efforts. So long as the commonwealers respect the statutes which govern other people they will be treated just as other people are. When they defy the law—if they do any such fcolish thing—they will be treated just as are all other people who construe the word “Wberty” to mean “license.” The author- ites are, of course, preparing, or are al- ready prepared to be in condition to enforce the law incase of any disturbance. They are not preparing to create this disturbance by overstepping the law themselves. If they had neglected to make this prepara- tion in view of all the circumstances they would have failed in an obvious duty to- ward Congress and this community, and the Public could justly hold them responsible for gross official carelessness and ineffi- ciency. —_~+ + +____ Cheaper and better illuminating gas is one of the things for which the District of Columbia has long pleaded. The House of Representatives has recognized the ne- cessity for reform and has provided for a @ecrease in the price of the gas furnished by the Washington Gaslight Company and for @ material betterment of the qualities it should possess. The bill in which these Gesirable things are provided is in the hands of the Senate, where it should claim early and friendly attention. There is no appearance of injustice in the measure nor is it likely that the existence of any can be shown. Testimony submitted by the corporation itself shows conclusively that a first-class illuminant can be made and sold with a sufficiency of resultant profit for $1 per thousand feet, and with this fact before it the Senate should move as rapidly as it can to make effective the admirable suggestions of the House. The Senate has never been careless of the in- terests of those so peculiarly dependent for legislation as are residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia and many times it has endeavored to do what would have been for the public welfare had the House been of like mind. In this matter conditions are to some extent reversed. The House has done its duty nobly and it now remains for the Senate to concur in the action of the Popular bedy which sits at the other end of the Capitol Good gas can be made and distributed profitably at the dollar rate. Experience has shown this to be so in sev- eral cities and Washington wants to share im that sort of an experience. — 9 hers ao Shamed by the activity of the United States, and compelled to action by British ship-owners, the government of Great Britain is about to go into partnership with our gcvernment to the end that ocean derelicts be destroyed just as soon as possi- bie after their existence becomes known. For some time past vessels of the United States Navy have been engaged in hunting up and destroying the floating wrecks that were off the Atlantic coast and in the line of traffic with Europe. The successful efforts to rid that portion of the Atlantic of the terrors which mariners fear most has been highly appreciated by English and American vessel-owners, but until recently the British government showed no disposi- tion to assist in the good work. Now, how- ever, the admiralty has promised to create & commission empowered to deal with the subject, and it is expected that in the near future vessels of both governments will patrol certain portions of the North At- lantic, and will remove every one of the floating dangers which have been responsi- ble for the loss of many a sound craft. ———+ + The time is not so very far off when the writer who seeks notoriety by an indis- eriminate abuse of this country and its in- stitutions will be given a niche next door to that of the actress who used to lose her dia- monds. It is one thing to be good natured and another to submit to being incessantly bored. ——_~ee—__ What Mr. Coxey wants is nice, economical money, that doesn’t cost anybody anything. + ¢ A bill is now pending before Congress which provides that every inmate of the Na- tional Soldiers’ Home, near this city, who draws a pension of more than $6 a month shall be required to pay the surplus for board up to $14 per month, and that any sum in excess of the latter amount shall be held in trust for the inmate until he shall leave the Home or die. From motives of fair- ness, justice and patriotism alone Congress should knock such a measure decisively on the head, but it happen. that there is no recessity for basing such epplaudable ac- tion upon merely sentimental grounds. The proposition contemplates nothing more nor less than a direct violation of the existing regulations of the United States army as well as the statute which prescribes the fegulations for the conduct of the Home. A paragraph in the recruiting regulations of the army, which govern every soldier when or sickness brought on in service, a com- fortable Home is maintained in the city of Washington. Twelve and a half cents per month is deducted from each soldier's pay to be supplied toward the support of the Home.” But outside of its illegality, the Proposed measure shocks the sensibilities of every fair-minded and impartial man who possesses a grain of grateful loyalty. There is nothing more pathetic than the bent and grizzled old men in blue who round out their lives in the beautiful park in the suburbs. The life of every one of them is an epitome of some chapter in the history of the country. They are living reminders of the martyrdom of the millions who gave their all that the luster of loyalty should forever shine from every forehead in the Union of the states. They are the benedictions of the battles where the Stars and Stripes were plunged into the baptism of blood to come forth purified and endowed with Life eternal and glory ‘everlasting. There is something wrong with the indi- vidual who would ask these poor old bat- tle-scarred and ever faithful veterans to give up a part of the meager pittances they receive to pay their board. It is so mean; so infinitesimally small that it is almost beneath serious consideration. The United States government is too great to be niggardly and too grateful to renounce the survivors of those who saved it. —>+>—___ A Washington clergyman yesterday re- marked that anybody can be a fool. He must admit, however, that some people do it @ great deal oftener and better than oth- ers. ——__ +e —___ South Carolina is now laboring under the apprehension that Governor Tillman will succeed in making her citizens take water— literally. —_+ ++ ____ Bismarck declares that he sees no sign of war, so that his new armor will be import- ant for bric-a-brac purposes only. It was good of Mr. Tillman to let go be- fore the julep season sets in. SHOOTING STARS. Fisherman’s Luck. "Tis now the sportsman has his wish, (But Hope's a gay deceiver,) He throws his tackle in, to fish, And catches chills and fever. Senate: “Excuse us; but we do not care to encourage competition.” mall. The young man from the city had been fishing. He hadn’t had much luck, but it was more than he was used to, and he looked very jubilant as he strode into the farm house kitchen with his catch. “What’je git?” asked his host. “Oh, nothing much. Just a few catfish.” “Mean them?” the farmer inquired, point- ing with his pipe stem. “Certainly. They're not very large. But there’s no doubt about their being cat- fish.” “Wal; mebbe they passes fur catfish out whur you come from. But here we calls them kitten-fish.” She Respected Sorrow. “Is the head of the family in?’ asked the woman, with something to sell. “No,” replied the tired looking man, with wilted side whiskers; “she left last week. But the man at the intelligence office says he hopes to find one that we'll suit inside of a week or two.” And the woman with something to sell was so touched with pity that she went away without another word. The Observant Young Woman. “Now, Miss Flipkins,” said the teacher of zoology in the seminary, “crustaceans wear their skeletons outside their bodies. The crab is an example; so is the lobster. Can you name another?” “A base ball player does, I think.” “A base ball player?” “Yes'm. When I went to the game yes- terday I saw the catcher take a set of ribs and hang them over his chest, just too easy for anything.” Un ibtedly a Joke. “My friend,” said the man who takes things seriously, “are you aware of the fact that you have referred to Coxey’s army in tones of levity?" “Yes,” replied the light-hearted man; “I “You should realize that Coxey’s army is Ro joke.” “I disagree with you. There’s no doubt in the world about its being a joke. But | its one of these practical jokes; funny enough when it starts, but liable to produce mighty serious results.” he enters the service, contains this lan- guage: “For soldiers who have become in- firm during twenty years’ service, or who The Consistent Kicker. “Whatever is, is right,” I've heard— I'll never sing that song; The modern motto, I'll adopt— “Whatever is, is wrong.” Just think of how delightedly ‘We'd bask in summer’s charm! What hours of sweet content we'd pass If heat were not so warm! What blissful comfort we could know “_In months that now speed illy! What weeks of indolent repose, If cold were not so chilly! Think of the rambles we might take, With freedom from regret, Consulting naught but our desires If rain were not so wet! And so by night and day I'll raise My wail both loud and long, To make this foolish world believe “Whatever is, is wrong.” ————+ + = ____ The People of Washington Will Be Protected. From the New York Journal of Commerce. One reason for placing the national capi- tal in the forests on the bank of the Poto- mac instead of in Philadelphia, or New York, or one of the southern cities, and the sole reason for giving Congress exclusive jurisdiction over the capital city and its Surroundings, was to protect it from just such mob demonstrations as Coxey and Fry are leading. Congress may see fit to en- courage this sort of thing now, but the peo- ple of Washington are certainly entitled to some protection. All power of protecting themselves has been taken from them by the people of the United States. They have no municipal or territorial government that they have any voice in creating or influenc- ing. They have not even a delegate in Con- gress, as Oklahoma has. Is it a decent thing for the rest of the country to unload its vagabonds on the people of Washington? ——-- wee A Confusion. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Political contingencies have certainly mix- ed the babies up when a newspaper can headline a news report “Reed and Hill Vindicated.” —— ee The Coxey Commonweal. From the Chicago Journal. The people of the United States have been laughing at a farce which threatens to become a drama of suffering and vio- lence, if not a tragedy. ---- > ee Physicians and Advertising. Frem the Omaha Bee So long as it is an unpardonable sin for a physician to pay for his advertising, just as men of other profesions do, the general public will refuse to take interest in dis- sensions caused by a violation of this inde- fensible privision of the medical code. A man’s medical abilities are not to be meas- ured by his adherence to this obselete cus- tom. —-- + 0 e A Practical View. From the New York Evening Telegram. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, speaking of a railroad management other than his own, says: “This cutting down expenses cannot last forever. It is like a man holding his breath—he can do it for a time, but must resume respiration after a while.” There is a hint of good times soon to come for multitudes in this wise observa- tion, PIERCE’S.
