THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY............April 25, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. = = = THE 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- tenor or purpose. The bill providing for the erection of a municipal building for the District is now before both houses of Congress. It has been referred on each side of the Capitol to the proper committee and there is reas- onable ground for hope that before many Weeks the national legislators will have the subject brought before them by reports from these committees in a form that will not permit them to ignore it without doing violence to their consciences. These re- Ports, if they review the matter, cannot help directing the attention of Congress to the miserable manner in which the District government is now housed, and has always been housed, in inadequate rented quarters: It has been virtually a homeless vaga- bond ever since its existence. The re- ports can hardly fail to mention the great @anger to which many of the most valuable records of the District are subjected by being stored in unsuitable places; nor can they overlook the humanity of the case, which demands that the officials and em- ployes of the District should not be crowd- ed into a building where the conditions are Geclared to be dangerous to health. It seems probable, too, that a committee of Congress that carefully considered the mat- ter could hardly avoid dwelling upon the fitness of having the municipal govern- ment of the District, in which the nation takes so large « part, sheltered in a build- ing of its own that would not suffer in comparison with the city government build- ings erected by cities all over the land that im point of population and importance can- not be ranked with the national capital. Every consideration, either of sentiment or utility, is on the side of a new and decent municipal building for Washington. It seems hardly likely that there can be any @ispute as to the need for such a building. The pending bill is the result of a long dis- cussion of the matter. Those who might Prefer a location elsewhere than in the market reservation would not, it is believed, oppose that location, if by such opposition they incurred the risk of defeating altogeth- er the effort to secure the building. The need has been so long felt, and is so urgent, that citizens of Washington will not, it is Delleved, quarrel with Congress over any Feasonable location, so long as Congress Provides promptly for the erection of a building. ———___+++-____ Whenever Coxey’s Commonwealers ven- ture to describe their organization they in- variably refer to it first as an “Army of Peace.” This has been done so frequently that readers of the newspapers must have been somewhat surprised at the character of the expressions uttered by the leader of of this “pacific” crusade wnen he was con- fronted by the proclamation so properly issued by the District Commissioners. Prior to that collision Coxey had been strident in his declarations of amity, and forcefully Ron-combative of language, but® when a Plain statement of principle and law and reason was placed before him his anger ‘was aroused and he hurled defiance at the statutes and at those whose duty it is to apply them whenever the occasion requires. Wholly forgetful of the doctrines he has preached to the public, and casting off the hypocritical mask of suavity, Coxey avowed his intent to redouble his efforts “to bring every unemployed man, woman and child to Washington,” even though his agitation result in tumult and bloodshed; he will de- mand what he terms his “rights,” and will support that demand with physical force, if necessary; the cry for the issuance of fiat money will be continued so long as he has breath. It has been stated again and again by Coxey and by many of those who believe in him, that he and all the members of his army are law-abiding citizens, but the in- temperate language of the reformer from Massillon will, doubtless, be regarded as indicative of another and much less desira- Ble state of affairs. It is well that the au- thorittes have this warning. —_\—- ++ —___ It was to be expected that this House of Representatives would incline toward the @conomical in the matter of appropriations, and especially those appropriations which Promised small political profit, but even those who looked for a reduction of the es- timates did not anticipate such a crippling of the Indian service as is contemplated by Chairman Holman. The estimates submit- ted by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs were almost $200,000 less than the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year, but the committee has cut the amount down until it is clearly insufficient for the ful- filment of treaty stipulations with the vari- ous tribes. Stinginess is always poor policy, but im this case it has the additional dis- advantage of being dishonest. If Congress really wants to be wise, it will treat the Indian fairly, if not liberally. Four years hence the Laramie treaty with the Sioux nation will terminate, and that means ces- sation of clothing and ration issues; then there will be danger of Indian troubles the itke of which this country has not known since 1876-77. It is poor policy to crowd a man to the wall, and it is cowardly when he is less powerful than yourself. ——qjs+ee—____ Everyone who has enjoyed the pleasure of acquaintance with Editor Frank Hatton of the Post, will regret sincerely the affliction which has befallen him, and will join with The Star in hoping that he may speedily be restored to health and friends and ac- tive newspaper work. ——_+ «+ ____ The good roads agitators having dis- @evered by actual experience the bad con- ition of the highways will be particularly Feluctant about undertaking the return trip. ——___+ +e ____ There ts no desire to hurry Col. Coxey in his journey to Washington, but it is only fair to admonish him that he is missing some very good base ball. ———~+es—___ Senator McMil!an will do the city of Washington good service if he pushes through Congress the joint resolution intro- @uced by him yesterday, which has for its object the preventing of sitreet-railroad companies from paving or repaving between their tracks with cobble-stones. Ours is a city of smooth streets and Is being accepted as a model for all other American centers of population, yet permission has but re- cently been given a street-railroad company to tear up smooth asphalt and put down in its place some of that ancient and at this time discreditable paving known as cobble- stone. The result is that New York avenue east of Seventh street—once a beautiful thoroughfare and noiseless under traffic as all asphalt-paved streets are—is a disgrace to the national capital. There would be a semt-reasonable sort of excuse for cobble- stone where horses were used as motive Dower, but inasmuch as there are no horses used on the New York avenue line the presence of the unsightly and obstructive. paving is nothing more nor less than a nuisance. When the Eckington road re- ceived its charter from Congress it did so with an understanding—promoted by its agents In both the House and Senate—that the company would make New York avenue “a thing of beauty and a joy forever.” Nothing was to d'sturb the smoothness of the broad thoroughfare and at night hun- Greds of incandescent lights would shed their illuminating influence from the top of every trolley-pole. How those promises have been fulfilled can be seen by anyone who cares to examine New York Avenue for himself. The day of cobble-stones and horse railroads has gone by and if corpora- tions will not move up to the times of their own accord, they should be prodded by the local legislature, which is the Congress of the United States. The excuse offered for cobble-stones on New York Avenue is the fact that the poles and wires must come down not later than July 1, 1895, and that it would therefore be causing the company unnecessary expense to compel it to repair the asphalt to any considerable extent. It may pertinently be asked why the company has not made ostensible preparation for the change which the law says must take place. Why has it not, instead of filling in be- tween Its tracks with cobble-stone, put in the conduits necessary for the operation of one of the underground systems which are unquestionably destined to drive the over- head trolley out of existence? Does the company propose to operate its overhead nuisance until the last moment the law al- lows and then put on a horse-car service? —_ wee - The proposition advanced by a Washing- ton merchant in a communication to Pro- gress, the advertising journal published in this city, 1s entirely in accord with the doctrine which The Star has persistently preached. The wide-awake merchant in question suggests that the Ad-writers’ As- | 9 sociation appoint a committee of three or five members to investigate as to the cir- culation of this city’s daily newspapers and thereby obtain information of value to those who invest large sums in newspaper advertising, and who therefore are entitled to all information as to the probabilities of their investments proving profitable. This idea has been endorsed by the Times, and The Star deems it but fair to believe that the other daily journals will speedily fall in line. For many years it has been the practice of The Star to print once a week @ sworn statement of its circulation for the six preceding days of publication, and it must be remembered that the word “circulation” when used by The Star has reference only to the number of papers actually sold, delivered, furnished or mailed, for valuable consideration, to bona fide purchasers or subscribers; that none of the copies counted in the circulation-totals were either returned to or remaining in the office unsold. In this practice of making its circulation a known quantity, The Star has been locally alone, in spite of the fact that either silence or vociferous general Statement of a totally irresponsible sort could not but be unjust to the business man who purchased space in the columns of Washington’s daily newspapers. The Star sincerely hopes for the appointment of the committee of ad-writers—the men who would naturally represent the big- gest advertising houses in town—and for the most searching sort of an investigation. The Star’s books and its premises are wide open for inspection, and the committee will have as many opportunities to see for itself the real situation as it would have were its members possessed of proprietary in- terests. No test will be too severe, no in- quiry impertinent. The committee will see that The Star has spoken truthfully as to its own peculiar and locally supreme value as an sdvertising medium; that its circula- tion is entirely of the “paid-for” variety; that it does not scatter abroad thousands of gratuitous sample copies; that its aver- age circulation is reasonably believed to be much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies, and fully five times that of its afternoon contemporary. The investigation cannot come too soon nor be too rigid to please The Star, —_>+s—___- The peculiarly hopeful feature of the Wellman polar exploration, now fully under Way, is the fact that an effort has been made by the travelers to carry their own relief expedition with them. ———— +2 The Princess Colonna declares that she and her husband are neither divorced nor reconciled. This permits the experts in rumor to continue, entirely unhampered. —__~+eo—____ Dr. Parkhurst’s reform movement in New York keeps him so busy that he hasn't even time to write a book about it. —_—_++-____ Mr. Coxey’s motto is “faith, hope and justice.” The towns en route are enjoying @ monopoly of the charity. ——_+-+ —__ Couldn't Mr. Coxey’s band play “There's no place like home?” —rooe—__. SHOOTING STARS. The Reason. “What makes so many people move on the first of May?” “It's the love of variety. They like to experience new kinds of domestic discom- fort.” oT You So.” South Car’lina’s goin’ it— Told so at first; Nothin’ stirs a feller like Accumulated thirst. A Conversational Failure. “Don't you like Professor Thinkins?” asked one girl. “Oh, dear; ni replied the other girl. “He's so fatiguing.” “He has the reputation of being very brainy.’ Just the trouble. When he talks you have to listen to what he is saying, or you can’t reply to his remarks.” Expensive. It is certain that Coxey, the commonweal man, Would have stuck, with his present up- rising, In some faraway place, If he paid for the space That's devoted to his advertising. Sarcasm. He was a very impatient man, and he @id not think the train was going fast enough, by any means. “Conductor,” he said, “did you say this train was — to Cincinnati?” “Sure?” “Certainiy.” “Well, it may; but there is only one way of getting it there that I can see.” “What do you mean?” “I mean that if you want to get this train to Cincinnati, you'll have to take it apart and ship it as freight over the other road.” Maybe. The Giants are truly a glorious lot. The country applauds when they come to the spot Where the bat points the way of the hero, to fame, Through the arduous paths of the na- tional game. So sturdy and strong, as for bases they stride; With biceps that Sandow might show off with pride, They are victors whose conquests no lim- its confine— Except when they play with the Wash- ington nine. Ah, these men trom New York! Each our reverence claims, And tn awe-stricken accents we murmur their names. We love them because of their home of renown, That hamlet adjacent to Hcboken town. We love them because of their deeds in the past, And the fame which will surely for cen- turies last; The laurels they’ve won they will never resign— Except when they play with the Wash- ington nine. — --- +02 ____ Nucleus for Another Army.
