THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. CROSBY $. NOYES. ............... Editor. —= a SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more tham the combined cireulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Be ar oan O2 rene aetngn, om oe letters to might well and profitably devote attention in the near future. Wash- satisfied to be referred to as @ remarkable city—remarkably veautiful, re- markably healthful, remarkably desirable @s @ place of residence—but it reasonably PPiects to being remarkable as the only city any importance in the country that is the beneficent influences of a free and reading-room. Washington has the Congressional, the Departmental and the more purely scientific braries an enor- number of books, but they are as far the reach of the local multitude as they would be if housed in Chicago. The im question proposes to establish a that will overfiow with educative and to do it at a minimum of Did the measure propose an expensive Dufidmg on an expensive site and the ex- penditure of a large sum of money for the purchase of books, some of the ultra-econo- imists of Congress might, not unreasonably— ‘gccording to their views—oppose its passage. when it is remembered that about the thing asked for is a sufficiency of floor in the new city-post-office building any objection that might be made Bave but poor foundation upon which ‘The wage-earning element is per- sonally interested in this project; it is the toflers and their children who are to be Primarily benefited. —___+-+____. In the case of every other city and town nd community than Washington expres- gions of sympathy and more substantial contributions for the benefit of the Coxey- ites served the practical purpose of trans- ferring the army with the least friction TEE be il Mar charity here, instead of speeding the parting guest furnishes inducement for an indefinite prolongation of the v nl ex- tends an invitation to simi! uld-be guests in various sections of th¥gpountry. The little band of Coxeyites Mow in the Meighborhood of the capital need not, how- ever, be a cause of worry, if the more dan- gerous regiments of the army are prevented from combining with them. There is a rea- Sonable prospect now that the blaze of pub- licity thrown upon every dark corner of the Project of massing large bodies of penniless and despairing or desperate men at Wash- fmgton on the first of May for the ostensi- ble purpose of forcing certain legislation ‘will serve by putting the general public and ‘the authorities upon guard to eliminate the @angerous features from the scheme, and to fsolate the advance guard of Coxeyites and Tender them harmless. So far as this ‘branch of the army is concerned newspaper publicity has already given employment to the unemployed by enabling the army to support itself as a circus show, exhibited at @ fixed price. By making of Coxey a suc- cessful Barnum, and cutting off his lawless and desperate recruits, the newspapers may prevent him from serving as an American Lord George Gordon. and may prevent the movement from developing an imitation (Wat Tyler or Jack Cade. —__ - + ee Accidents to postal cars constitute a subject to which the latest issue of En- gineering News has given a good deal of space, with the hope, p-obably, that promi- nent publication might result in a diminu- tion of the casualties. A large percentage of the mishaps are due to causes generally deyond human control, and the lot of the postal clerk would be uncomfortable enough @id he have only these to fear, but when it is noted that much of the damage suffered is caused by fire, then those who are humanely interested tn the hard-work- ing railway postal employes and in the mail matter which is destroyed whenever there is a car conflagration have an un- doubted right to agitate for reform. A con- aiderable proportion of the fires that take place in postal cars originate with that ancient method of illumination, still common on most rcads—the oil lamp. It is Father strange that at this time, when oil is rarely used as an illuminant, except’ in agricultural districts and other regions re- mote from civilization, the most unsatis- factory method of car-lighting should still prevail. Aside from the danger which so eften makes serious appearance, much in- fury ia caused the contents of mail sacks over which the penetrating and pungent Muid is quite frequently spilled. This is the electrical age, or nearly so, but if there be too much expense in operating an electric light system on all trains hauling postal cats, there surely cannot be any difficulty in equipping these carriers of the world’s correspondence with com- pressed-gas outfits. The possibility of fire would then be very remote, indeed, and one of the most fearful risks to which postal employes and the mail they handle are exposed would be no more. ——_ reo Senator McMillan will have the applause of the community for his declaration that 4% Is time for Washington to have @ “good aidewalks” movement. —_—-o The dilatory methods adopted by the government in meeting some of its obliga- tions would give a private concern a poor Fating in B-adstreet's. ++. | When the historian of American progress | im the Nineteenth Century comes to con- sider the materials for his work he will be | wide of the mark if he does not carefully yead the record of the woman suffrage movement, which has probably made more advance than any other reform that has been instituted in this country in the past hundred years, with the single exception cf | the emancipation of the slaves. Whether it | 1s practical or impractical, the foes of the idea must admit that its agitators rave Made great advances, “not only in their actual achievements, but in winning over to @ more moderate sentiment those who | formerly seoffed at the thought of women Voters. It now appears as though the close | of the century will be marked by one of the | most momentous struggles on the part of the suffragists, for next week begin the | sessions of the New Yerk constitutional | conventions, which the leaders of the suf- | frage movement have recently made their chief target. Albany will be the field of the | Most important battle yet waged in this campaign. It is large game for which the ‘Women are gunning, but they now realize | that there was never a truer saying than that “faint heart ne'er won fair lady.” In | this instance the game is certainly worth the candle, for the time is ripe for a test | of the strength of the suffrage cause in the fairest field ever occupied by any force. With New York won the victory would | surely seem to be within the grasp of the | Jong-hoping, patient women who have labored so diligently for decades past. With | New York lost the decisive battle is yet to be fought. But this battie is not to ve won | im a single movement. There are two! enemies whom the women are to meet— first, the members of the convention, all | men, and therefore probably averse to the eral proposition to omit the word “male” | He from the suffrage provisions of the consti- tution; and, second, the voters of the state, provided the convention should agree to submit the question to their judgment. It | really seems an unequal warfare, but the women who are waging it are plucky, and have the courage of their convictions ard | the additional assurance that comes to the fighter who has nothing to lose and all to gain. The advance on Albany is to be made with statistical weapons. The lead- ers will declare to the convention that there | are 12,000 more native-born white women | than white men in New York city, and 56,000 more in the entire state. Yet there are fifteen males arrested in the state to to | campaign will go cut of the uncertain the campaign will go out of the uncertain field that has never been ploughed by the su! frage-reform blade and quote from the records of the states that have granted suffrage to women to show that contrary to the claims of their opponents the women are taking advantage of the privilege very widely, and that at elections where both sexes have voted the female vote has ranged from 40 to 50 per cent of the total. The most interesting reference is to the New Zealand elections, where 109,461 women were registered and over 90,0 voted. This proportion is far greater than the average among men in any eastern state in America. ——_- + That the law is no respecter of persons, that it draws no distinctive line between classes, that it is equal in {ts application, was evidenced the other afternoon when the statute which provides that no organized body of men shall march into the Capitol grounds was enforced against a section of the Odd Fellows’ parade that without the slightest thought of trespass endeavored to make @ short cut through the reservation to its abiding place in southeast Washing- ton. The men in line were all good sub- stantial citizens and their parading in com- pany could not even by the wildest imagi- nation be construed into.a threat against anybody or anything; they did not desire to bulldoze Congress, and .probably did not care the toss of a copper whether Congress was in session or-not~they merely wanted to get home by the most direct route. But the Capitol police would not have it so; they notified the marshal that he and his associates were violating law, and the un- conscious offenders immediately moved out into the street. Those men were and are possessed of just as many constitutional rights as Mr. Coxey and his followers ever had or probably ever will have, but as good citizens they recognized the propriety of the statute that barred their way through the Capitol grounds and they very cheerfully moved to the highway over which they had permission to parade. Had they done other- wise, had they defied the Capitol police and insisted on continuing their march through the grounds, they would have unquestiona- bly been arrested and punished as the law directs. The lesson of this little incident should not be altogether lost by Coxey and Browne and their many fellow-agitators. The law must and will be respected. ———- 0s. --— Oddity in art criticism has never caused much else than amusement in this country although occasional efforts have been made by over-prudish people to create sensations out of matters that were not at all sensa- tional, but it has been left for a Jackson- ville jury to declare that Peter Paul Hubens, the most famous of Flemish painters, Hmned the obscene. The facts in the case are that a book-seller in Jacksonville dis- played in his store-window a reproduction of “The Judgment of Paris.” The skilful drawing and the warm coloring attracted the attention of a police censor and as a result the book-seller was haled before the court and tried with judicial seriousness such as was not apparent when Corbett and Mitchell were prisoners at the bar. The county solicitor spoke of the painter more than once as “Mr. Rubens” and prob- ably imagined that the founder of a school of painting was also the progenitor of the “Reubens” who invariably accompany cir- cuses on their rounds. One of the witnesses testified that Paris was in France, and the prosecution to the satisfaction of the jury proved that anything emanating from the gay Frerch capital or bearing its name,could rot be otherwise than fearfully immoral. So the jury said “guilty” and the book-sel- ler is a felon, according to the law of Florida, and has a sentence of one year’s imprisonment hanging over him. Whether his appeal is successful or not he wili doubt- less cease his efforts ite make Jacksonville an art center. —___ ++ _____ Connecticut ts very much worried over the fact that its once-famous shad-fisheries are now no more, and that those people who desire to feed upon this popular and pal- atable product of the waters must content themselves with the shad captured else- where than in the Connecticut or Thames rivers. While it is, of course, too bad that factories and dams should have brought about the extermination of Connecticut shad, there is no reason why the grief should be more than local to Connecticut. From its source in the mountains to its mouth in the Chesapeake the Potomac flows unvexed, and is the home of shad more delicious than any ever known to Con- necticut. The supply is ample and the qual- ity unexceptionable during this season, and Connecticut can have all the good shad it needs by making arrangements with some of the Potomac fishermen or Washington dealers. The fish may be @ trifle more ex- pensive than the Connecticut article used to be, but the difference in flavor more than counterbalances the difference in price. There is but one variety of shad that will Tepay the labor and expense of cooking, and that variety comes from the Potomac, —---— = If Congress should make immediate pro- vision for the establishment of a National Bureau of Health it would do no more than it ought to do. Rellable information from Portugal shows that there is in that country an epidemic of Asiatic cholera, and that there were on Wednesday 225 fresh cases of that disease in the city of Lisbon alone. Dr. Montaldo, the chief medical director of the Spanish government, has traced the immediate cause of infection to a vessel from the Cape Verde Islands. With cholera prevalent on any part of the western coast of Europe it behooves the United States government to place its defenses in first- class condition. The warm weather is ap- preaching rapidly and the chances for transmission of the contagion are numer- ous. ——_—__ +++ The deft manner in which trains have been appropriated would indicate that the United Brotherhood of Bandits had con- cluded to take a hand fn the commonweal. —+ toe New York and Chicago get together in fraternal sympathy when it comes to a question of baseball. 0 If a man must be insane to write good poetry Citizen Train has proved his alibi many times. —__ += ____.

THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, THE WEEK. ‘The movement of various bodies of unem- ployed men, with Washington as their des- timation, has been the one topic of discus- sion during the past week. Although no violence has marked the progress of the | parent organization, that led by Coxey, who | is generally accredited with being the pro- | sector of the movement, yet the lawless ele- | ment that is always attracted by any pro- test against the existing order of things has | already cast odium on the undertaking by its excesses. Last Monday a band of strik- ing miners seized an engine and some box | cars at Butte, Mont., and started eastward. | A United States marshal's posse attempted | to capture them on Wednesday at Billings, Mont., and a fight resulted, in which one on each side was wounded and the deputies were driven off. The governor of Montana the t for the use of fed- eral troops, and Col. Page, at Fort Keogh, was ordered to apprehend the train steal- ers. At midnight that night they were cap- tured by the troops and taken to Heiena to be turned over to the civil authorities, More trouble is apprehended in the far northwest. Governor Pennoyer, when asked to call out the militia to protect railway property, re- fused to do so. Meanwhile fresh “armies,” as they are termed, are springing up hk day. Coxey and his followers are scnedi to reach Rockville today, and promise tobe at the Capitol on May 1 to demand of Sons gress the passage of his bills providing for the issue of greenbacks, or non-interest- bearing bonda, and for providing work for all who want it. Senator Peffer introduced @ bill to tax unimproved property in the District, and unsuccessfully tried to ha considered his resolution providing for committee to receive Coxey’s communic: tion. The discussion of the tariff bill has been the regular order in the Senate. Dem- ocrats now profess confidence in its in some form. The Supreme Court decided that fishing in the Pocomoke was amenabie to the laws of Virginia. The House coinage | TURES, committee decided to sidetrack the Meyer silver seigniorage and bond bill, favored by the administration, and to consider the Bland free coinage bill. Senator Jarvis was sworn in as the successor of the late Sena- tor Vance. The trial of Dr. Meyer for poi- soning an associate to get hia insurance money began at New York. Commander Heyerman and Lieut. Lyman of the Kear- sarge were suspended for one year for neg- lect in connection with the loss of the ves- sel. The California supreme court ended the famous litigation over the Blythe mil- lions by deciding in favor of Florence, the legitimate daughter. Third Officer Ryfko- gel was arrested for manslaughter in con- nection with the loss of the steamer Los Angeles. The Indiana republican conven- tion nominated a candidate for secretary of State and other officers, and adopted a plat- form setting forth the republican claims. Grand Chief Ramsey of the Order of Teleg. raphers was put on trial at Cedar Rapias, Towa, for interfering with the telegraph service of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern railway. A largely attended re- union of ex-confederates was held at Bir- mingham, Ala. Congressman Bynum's law at Indianapolis, Albert T. Beck, was murdered by burgiars. Quo warranto Proceedings against the Chicago gas trust were decided on. The strike of coal miners throughout the country continues to spread and a coal famine is threatened at Pitts- burg. The cruiser Columbia went into com- mission at Philadelphia. Foreign. A disastrous earthquake caused great loss of life in Greece. An outbreak by unem- ployed workmen in Hungary was put down by the troops. Ravages of cholera continue at Lisbon. An Italian anarchist named Fer- rari was arrested at London. He is believed to be the head center of anarchists in Eng- lard. He was betrayed by an associate. The Wellman polar expedition sailed from Norway for Spitzbergen. French forces captured a settlement in the Congo State, A Russian edict compels owners of vessels to put them at the service of the govern- ment in time of war. Many fish! boats on the southern coast of Ireland were wrecked by @ storm. The house of com- mons agreed to the budget proposals of the chancellor of the exchequer. Great Britain has demanded of Nicaragua an explanation British consul at Greytown. The eight-hour- a-day bill for miners passed second reading in the house of commons. Negotlations have been in progress for extending a pro- tectorate of New Zealand over the United States assenting. A bill for the dis- establishment of the church in Wales was introduced in the house of commons. The steamship Helvetia was abandoned in a sinking condition off pe Finisterre; the crew and passengers were taken to Gibral- tar. In the District. Precautions have been adopted by the authorities to guard property, both public and private, during the stay in this city of the expected army of the commonweal. The gradual approach of this aggregation of men has been watched with interest by the people. The multitude is expected to arrive at its camping ground in Brightwood to- morrow afternoon. Thomas Crumpton was hanged for murder in the District jail and | Frederick Jenkins was found guilty of mur- der. The celebration of the seventy-fifth an- niversary of the birth of the order of Odd Fellows was marked by @ parade, by exer- cises in Convention Hall in the afternoon and by a reception and hop in the evening. A joint session of the Washington City Dental Society and of the Maryland State Dental Association was held. The death of Mr. Wil- liam McGarrahan, the most famous of con- gressional claimants, occurred. George Francis Train made a meteoric visit to this city, delivered @ public lecture, was arrested for not procuring a license, was released and left at once for New York. The Wash- ington base ball team won a game. . —____+ ++ ___ SHOOTING STARS. Sagacious.
