THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY. oov--eee-May 5, 1894, CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor, ee HE EVENING STAR has 2 regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other W: ingtom dailies. As a News a Advertising Medium it has no competitor. der to avoid delays, om ac- it of personal absence, letters t STAR should it be a l connected with or ice. but simply to THE STAR, or to rial or Business Department, to tenor or purpose. ——_—__—___—_—. Of all the strikes that have ever taken place in this country no other one has had less of popular sympathy than the strike of coal-miners which is now on. Where are times when the exercise of the privilege of quitting work has in it many of the elements of propriety, for there are tyrannical employers, and protests @re occasionally necessary and right; but it passes the understanding of most people ‘why more than two hundred thousand Miners should go out on a strike just now. The past twelve months have been filled ‘with trouble for the business interests of the country. There has been and still is unexampled depression in almost every line of industry. Distrust has troubled the na- tiona] mind, money has hastened into profit- Jess and trade-paralyzing seclusion, and, as @ natural sequence, misery has taken up its residence in thousands of homes where its gaunt shape had never before been seen. And yet while the great popular outcry was for work, these miners forsook their em- ployment and deliberately entered the ranks of the idle and the suffering. Many of the strikers were doubtless illy-paid, and it is conceded by the operators that there are in- equalities in the wage-scale, but at this pe- riod it would seem as though industry which ‘was recompensed at from $2 to $4 per day ‘was infinitely preferable to complete idle- ness and @ condition closely akin to pauper- ism. But bad as ts this state of affairs for the miners themselves, there is a condition infinitely worse confronting a much greater number of people who are now at work and ‘who want to continue so. As @ natural re- sult of the coal strike, the price of fuel has moved upward, while the supply has dimin- fished to such an extent that in less than a@nother week very many manufacturing ¢stablishments will be compelled to shut down, many railroads be forced to discharge thousands of their laboring forces, many vessels remain uselessly moored to empty ‘wharves. No one who loves his fellow-man ¢an view without concern this probability of greatly augmented distress. Cannot some compromise be speedily reached? — oe The remarks of Judge Miller yesterday in the trial of Gen. Coxey and his followers, Browne and Jones, will receive the heartiest commendation and support from every fight-minded American, and yet the most outspoken Coxeyite could not take offense at what he said. He was just and fair to all classes of people, and when he declared that the safeguard of American institutions, Of citizens of all classes, of the workingmen and the poor, ijes in the observance of laws im their integrity, he gave utterance to a truth that is so evident that it ought not to escape the notice of the most near-sighted of law-makers. He successfully defended the court and its officers from the charge that the prosecution of these three men for violation of a police ordinanée was in any sense an insidious attack upon the inherent and constitutional rights of the American people. Senator Allen and the members of Congress who were associated with him in the case were courteously listened to, but Judge Miller hit the nail squarely on the head when he remarked that much of what they said had little or no bearing on the ease. They denied that Congress had the right to decide that there were certain places where the right to assemble and peti- tion might not properly be enjoyed. But as Judge Miller said, one might as well claim the right to assemble and petition in the Senate chamber itself or in Mr. Allen’s back yard, against his consent. “At this time above all others,” said Judge Miller, “it ‘would be weil for every man to study the ‘American Constitution, for that document above all things else urges obedience to law and order.” This ig true beyond all question and the more it is observed the better it will be for the country generally. —+ += —_____. Information from the land where Kala- Kaua once reigned, in company with other Kings and queens of a less animated kind, indicates that the royalists in the almost- republic of Hawaii—soon to be the state of Hawaii—the followers of Mrs. Dominis, Rave had a very enjoyable time for more than a year past. Hawaiian newspapers perpetually cali attention to the mental Buoyancy with which the ex-queen’s at- taches invariably regard the steamer which is expected to arrive “this evening or to- morrow.” The news for which they wait so patiently has never made its appear- ance, and the chances are that it never will, but the Dominis people will not give up. although they acknowledge to have been disappointed more times than they can remember. They must be lacking in intel- ligence—these members of the opium and lottery rings—or they would never con- tinue to imagine that the restoration of Liliuokalani was even possible—the Senate port made that so plain that he who runs might read with ease and without error. Annexation of the Islands to the United States may be long delayed, for there is division of opinion as to the wisdom of such a move, but it can be accepted as a settled fact, am unchangeable condition, that monarchy will never again control Ha- wail. Royalistic rumor-mongers may for a time contin nue to deceive themselves and annoy believers in good government by their senseless chattering and reiterated predictions of revolution, but such feeble agencies are powerless to injure even the present form of government in the Islands end will cease to be when the provisional arrangement is succeeded by the estab- lishment of a repubiic. ———_ + +e The Omaha editor who was jailed for al- Jeged contempt of court has not yet ex- hbausted all his methods of retaliation.

The manner in which Mr. Croker minds his own business would be admirable if it were only the right kind of a business, oe ‘The income tax may be divorced from the tarist bill, but it is not being accomplished with Dakotan expedition. soe South Carolina is as silent as a man with cracked ice on his head and repentance in his heart. ———_+ += ___ A few newspapers are strong in their condemnation of Senator Hill because he insists upon the entire abandonment of the fncome-tax proposition, now such a prom- fnent feature in the tariff bill. Some of these critics will have it that Senator Hill fs insincere in thi ter and that if the r e stricken out of the he would still be found with the opposition—not because he believes in the ciples to which most of those in the oppo- ition are pledged, but because he desires to embarrass the President and to discredit him and his supporters whenever an oppor- tunity to do so presents it In company with the criticism Is a great deal of abuse and many threats. The senior Senator from New York and other demo: ‘with him as to the tariff bill tax appendage are informed that the country is only w ng for a chance to spring at their throats and put a stop forever to their political usef e383 or mischief; it all de- pends upon the point of vi As a matter ef fact, the long end of the argumentative Jever is in the hands of those democrats ats who agree 1 its income- who insist upon material amendment of the measure now before the Senate. The oill does not in any way resemble the legislation which was outlined so clearly by the Chi- cago convention, and the income-tax feature, to which Senator Hill so strenuously and Properly objects, is not in accord with the declarations of either of the two big political Parties. The populists favor it, but there is no reason why any straight-out dem- ocrat or republican should do else than speak and work and vote against the most unfair and impracticable variety of taxa- tion ever proposed. Laying aside every other consideration and paying no attention to the charges that the tax would be a sectional one and productive of class differ- ences, it is enough to know, and to know beyond question, that there is no necessity for the revenue which would be produced. If the tariff and internal-revenue estimates as presented by Senator Voorhees are cor- rect, there will be a sufficiency of revenue without that which it is calculated would be Produced by the tax which Senator Hill and other democrats are being so roundly abused for opposing. Complicated official machinery will be needed before a dollar of tax can be squeezed from unwilling citizens, and out of this unwillingness, already very apparent, offensive situations will develop until the government, through its tax-col- lecting representatives will really become odious to good and loyal citizens who deserve much more of consideration at the hands of the law-making powers than they have Leen getting recently. Senator Hill is by no means invariably right—in fact, he is fre- quently wrong—but he stands on solid ground when he assails the income-tax Proposition. —— oe When arises the next big difference of opinion between the nation’s copper-tinted wards and the nation itself there will be at least one white man in the United States who can fairly claim exemption from the scalp-lifting operations of the sanguinary savage and who will have reason for re- garding himself as safe from the possible assaults of blood-thirsty hostiles. The fortunate individual is William S. Holman, chairman of the House committee on In- dian affairs. The average aborigine hates all manner of what civilized man calls edu- cation, detests the elements of mental pol- ish and regards with unconcealed disdain those scholastic acquirements of which Mmany cultured people are so properly proud; he believes in beef and blankets and to- bacco and whisky, and it is the most prom- inent of his cardinal doctrines that the gov- ernment should furnish him with as much of the two former as he needs. He hates with hatred almost limitless any institution which insists that his ancient ideas are wrong, but clings with all the fervor of an affectionate brother to him who agrees with him as to the utter uselessness of all efforts to improve the Indian mind. Therefore the old Indian wil dote on Mr. Holman, for Mr. Holman’s dislike for schools seems to be of about the same quality as the dislike which the Indian never hesitates to make appar- ent. The Indian appropriation bill for last year authorized the disbursement of $7,854,- | 240.38. This year the commissioner of In- dian affairs—instructed to economize wherever economy was possible—kept his estimates to $6,931,156.61. The amount ap- propriated by this year's bill is $6,611,260. or nearly $820,000 less than the extremely small estimate. It will be interesting for the student of Indian affairs to examine the estimates and the bill and see what branch of the service will have to suffer most. Of the three hundred and nineteen thousand odd dollars, more than two hundred and seventy thousand dollars have been saved by the elimination of educational proposi- tlons—a piece of statesmanship which will bring joy to the tepees of those with whom Representative Holman has joined hands. Just how the blithsome bucks will honor their friend in Congress for his opposition to the spread of the alphabet can only be conjectured; it is quite likely they will have @ big Omaha dance, at which the gentleman from Indiana will either personally or by Proxy be received into several tribes and be given many multi-syllabie and complimen- tary names. : ——_++—____ An important item in the management of any modern business establishment depend- ent for success on the patrohage of the Public is that of advertising. Merchants lay out money in advertising for the pur- Pose of getting returns by attracting the attention of the public to the goods they have to sell. An advertisement then is an investment, and a very good investment, if one uses the same judgment in making it, as he would ordinarily use in investing in real estate, or in any other commodity. No careful business man would buy a stock of goods without knowing exactly what he is buying, and a judicious advertiser will not invest in advertising without informa- tion as to the extent of publicity he will receive for his money. The Evening Star, for the benefit of those who are patrons or intending patrons of its advertising col- umns, has always published the fullest de- tails of its circulation, so those who made tse of its advertising columns could calcu- late for themselves exactly what they were getting in the way of publicity. There has never been any uncertainty about it; never a time when an advertiser was simply risk- ing money on faith in some general boast, unsustained by figures, of a large and in- creasing circulation. A comparison, which has just been made of the circulation of The Star during the month of April, with the number of homes in the city, makes a showing surprising even to the publishers of The Star, who while they knew that its circulation more completely covered the local field than that of any newspaper in the world, did not fully realize what is de- monstrated to be the fact, that The Star goes practically to every home in the city where newspaper readers, and especially the class of readers whom advertisers most desire to reach, are found. The interesting comparative statements are given in de- tail on another page, and are printed by The Star in fairness to its advertisers, who are entitled to know with certainty the measure of publicity which they buy. —__ - +++ —— People who read the newspapers quite closely will doubtless remember how fre- quently and willingly members of the New York police force commented on the ina- bility of their London brethren to capture that prince of murderers, whose only cog- nomen was “Jack the Ripper.” Indeed, if half the opinions expressed by Gotham’s blue coats were earnest, the average reader could hardly do otherwise than believe that all mystified and terrified London had to do to secure relief was to engage one or two of New York's “finest.” Just now it would be quite In order for the “Lunnon bobbies” to ask Superintendent Byrnes why it is that his sleuths, who were forever and at long range showing how easy it was to capture the “Ripper,” have failed to find out the truth as to three rather notable homicides that have occurred recently. A little girl well known to many people and clad in garments which could be identified beyond question lost her life at the hands of some villain, but for a million dollars the police could not tell who the villain was. Miss Martha Fuller, a typewriter, died from a pistol wound, and today, after weeks devoted to what seems to have been investigation, the author of her death is still unknown. Gottiieb Grob was mur- derd in a house, every room of which was occupied at the time of the crime, but the murderer is till free.

THE WEEK. a ‘The past week witnessed the arrival of the Coxey army at Washington, its march down Penrsylvania avenue and the vain effort of the leaders, Coxey and Browne, to speak from the steps of the Capitol. News having been received of the death of Senator Stock- bridge of Michigan, it had been intended to have merely brief sessions of both houses: of Congress, but in the House of Represent- atives the news of the Senator’s death was held back for an hour and not annouficed until the Coxeyites had left the grounds, that the early adjournment might not be misconstrued. Then the announcement was made and the House adjourned. The Senate has been engaged on the tariff bill during the week. The democrats claim that they have secured enough votes to pass the bill, though with concessions to various inter- ests. The strike of the Great Northern rail- Way was settled in favor of the men. Trouble was experienced at one time and troops were ordered out. Striking miners on the Mesaba range near Lake Superior were guilty of violence, and the militia had to be sent to the scene. In the coke regions there was a revival of the disturbances which seem chronic there and a fight oc- curred between the rioters, led by women, and the deputies. Several thousand idle men caused something of a reign of terror at Cleveland, Ohio. Workmen were driven from their shops and various excesses were committed, but soldiers and the police final- ly restored order. The various “industrial” armies that have been proceeding toward Washington continued their progress. Chi- cago started out a regiment of ten com- panies, numbering about 400. Julian O. Davidson, the well-known artist, died. Ex- Senator and Mrs. Dawes celebrated their golden wedding. The Pennsylvania populist convention sent a message of greeting to Coxey. Virginia militia had to be sum- moned to guard a negro named Spiller, ac- cused of murdering a little girl. He was convicted and sentenced to death within about eighty hours after his capture. Rep- resentative Johnson of Ohio presented a resolution for the investigation of the club- bing by policemen while Coxey’s army were at the Capitol on Tuesday. Miss Viva Castle, step-daughter of ex-Congressman Castle, was shot at Minneapolis by Mrs, Blake, wife of a restaurant keeper, actuated by jgalousy. Lieut. Maney will shortly be court-martialed for the oe of Capt. Hedberg. A mass meeting in Philadelohia urged councils to appropriate $10,000 for a survey for a ship canal across w Jersey. A petition was presented in the United States court at Philadelphia to reserve Gettysburg battlefield from invasion by a trolley road. The English racing yac: Valkyrie, which competed for the America’s cup, sailed for home. Abroad. The bill to disestablish the Church of Wales has passed first reading in the house of commons. The English royal labor com- mission reported against any general sys- tem of industrial tribunals. Four hundred persons were killed and 20,000 made home- less by the earthquakes in Greece. Fifty excursionists were drowned in the Danube by the collapse of a pier. May day passed without any serious disturbances. In Lon- don a number of anarchists were driven out of Hyde Park for advocating their doc- trines. A landslide along the St. Anne river in Quebec cost several lives and much damage. The Royal College of Music et Kensington, London, was opened, The in- ternational bimetallic conference op2ned in London. A telegram of sympathy was sent by a number of American Senators, headed by Senator Sherman. The reading of it cheered. Farrari and Polti, anarchist: 5 were sentenced at London to prison for twenty and ten years, respectively, In the District, The arrival of the body of men styled the Ccxey army, their location in camp at Brightwood, the march down the avenue to the Capitol, the frustrated attempt on the part of the leaders to speak from the steps of the Capitol, the arrest of Browne and Jones and their subsequent arraignment with Coxey, the occupation of the grounds at Ist and M streets southwest as a camp, have been some of the features of the Coxey movement during the week. The congresses of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States were in session. At a meet- ing of the trustees of the American Unt- versity it was decided that it was time to take steps toward the erection of the first of the proposed group of buildings, namely, the administration building and the hall of philosophy. Mr. Frank Hatton died on Tuesday, and his funeral occurred ‘Thursday. SHOOTING STARS.
