4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY..............May 16, 1894. Editer. CROSBY 5S. NOYES. a THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7 In order to avoid delays, om ac- 4 THE STAR, or te Ed r Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. ———_—————————— The bill introduced by Senator Harris Monday morning should pass without any delay, and, indeed, without any question. This bill provides for the establishment of a system of marriage returns to the Su- preme Court of the District whereby all ceremonies performed within the District shall be made the subject of regular legal record. There should be no opposition to @ bill which has for its object the avoid- ance of one of the greatest ills that may befall modern society, the secret or the un- acknowledged matrimonial union. There is at present absolutely no means of preserv- ing legal records cf marriage ceremonies im the District. The license that is required by law is not evidence of the subsequent ceremony, for it bears no testimony that it has been utilized by the contracting par- ties. The marriage certificate which may or may not be given by the clergyman is, ef course, good evidence in court when proved, but it is lable to be lost or de- stroyed and frequently the marital rights of ‘husband or wife may be jeopardized by the @estruction of the certificate by one or the @ther in a moment of anger or as a means pf revenge. This is too important a factor 44 the social organization to be the subject ef such a loose system of ordinances when the remedy is so simple and so near at hand. It is a noteworthy fact that immedi- ately after The Star recently pointed out the necessity for such a law as that framed by Senator Harris’ bill, scores of citizens, anxious lest the negligence of clergymen may have placed them in false positions, visited the clerk’s offite to ascer‘ain by | scrutiny of the records whether or not their marriages had been properly certified. This | of itself shows how the matter has been allowed to go by default for many years and there is really no proof that there is Jegal record on file of a quarter of the mar- wiages performed in the District during, Bay, ten years past. The danger of trustirg to the license as evidence of the ceremor.y is shown in a case which came te the knowledge of The Star recen A man ‘ader the influence of liquor went to the elerk’s office and, upon payment of the fee, procured a license to marry, naming a wo- man. This, of course, was published in ‘The Star’s daily record of marriage licenses although it was afterward ascertained the ‘woman had never given her consent and the man had no serious’ intention of using the Neens®. According to the slip-shod custom of depending upon the licenses as indication of the marriages contracted in the District, this woman and this man now stand noted im the eyes of the public as man and wife, or as soon to be. Should the proposed sys- tem be carried into effect, it would, of course, be in order for the newspapers to publish these clergymen’s returns as reg- ularly and as inviolably as the licenses are now noted, so that the former would be in the nature of a check upon the ‘latter. As to the details of the bill there can be no objection. Thirty days are ample time for the clergyman to make his return. It may even be a little too long, for the act of visiting the clerk’s office or of mailing the certificate—which could be issued in blank in convenient form—would take little or no time, and, under the pressure of a possible fine, it is easy to surmise that clergymen would soon fall into the habit of prompt performance of this simple duty. — - see —__ Mr. Hogan has gone to jail—the Lewis Ynd Clarke county jail in Montana—and ‘will remain there for six months to come. How are the mighty fallen! But a few days ago it was “General” Hogan, and he was in command of an “army” of several hundred Coxeyites who were on their way to Washington. But unlike the army that started from Massillon on Easter Sunday, the Hogan contingent did not believe in pedestrianism, and as the hard-hearted Failroad corporations declined to furnish it with free transportation, “General” Hogan incited his fgllowers to steal a train ard to run it as far east as possible. The pro- gram was carried out satisfactorily until United States troops from Fort Keogh cap- tured the “army” while it slumbered and escorted it back to Helena. Hogan, de- prived of his title and of his command, was tried in the United States district court and has been awarded six months ©f comparative solitude, while the engineer | and fireman who ran the train and the| forty captains and leutenants through | whom Hogan's orders were transmitted | were given sixty days each. The balance | of the “army” will probably be released, | Provided each man pledges himself to re- | frain from train-stealing in the future. Of | course this interference of the law with | the constitutional rights of every man to steal all the trains he wants when on his way to Washington for the purpose of bull- dozing Congress will raise a howl where-| ever two or three Coxeyites are gathered | together, but the country will probably be | able to stand it. —_+-+s—___. The Senate did precisely the right thing Yesterday when it confirmed the renomina-| tion of Thomas F. Miller to be judge of the | Police Court of the District of Columbia. | During the term of office just expired Judge Miller has rendered this community most | admirable service and has earned more of| thanks than have been given him. The| court over which he presides is one of the| ost important institutions in the District. While Washington is blessed with great | @pulence of legal talent, something more | than knowledge of the statutes and the best | methods of their application is necessary to | make a successful police judge; and these | Qualities are possessed in an eminent degree | by Judge Miller, who is both an able lawyer | nd a clear-headed, courageous man. ——_<-.—____. It ts an unfortunate and sorrow-moving fact that there are at this time and in this country men who would plunge this nation | into all the indescribable horrors of a great | war in order that the present discontent and dangerous restlessness may have an outlet, and that industries now dormant| may be awakened. These thoughtless or Vielous advocates of strife see in their pro- gram conflict with Great Britain, occupa- tion as soldiers for the large number of -un- | employed, abnormal activity in agriculture | and manufactures, and vast opportunity for | political spoils. The inhumanity of the Propositign is brutally plain and it cannot but meet with the disapproval of the great mass of the American people—the same peo- pie who would, were there any sufficient cause, shed the last drop of their blood in | defense of a principle to uphold which the stars and stripes had been invoked. If any | foreign power had unrighteously offended | the dignity of the United States or had | Gealt unjustly with an American citizen and then impudently refused to apologize for the wrong, war would perhaps be the only means by which redress could be se- cured, but to insist upon a deliberate quar- Fel with some power (with which we are Row on friendly terms) solely because an{ ‘Internationa! disturbance seems to some to be the only thing that will uplift the generally ressed conditions from which | this country suffers is to do a very wicked | thing. Of course it is highly impropable that such advice will be seriously considered by those who have it in their power to bring about the disagreement for which these selfish ones agitate, but this does not | excuse the guilty ones for their activity in planning bloodshed. Hundreds of thousands of people in this country have experienced the suffering consequent upon warfare and these will be slow to follow those who see in the killing and wounding of armies and the grief of the widowed and the fatherless temporary advantage for the few. At this time there is absolute harmony between the United States and all the other nations of earth, and to invent some trifling cause for war would be nothing less than a crime. ‘The idea that the unemployed of the coun- try can do no better for themselves and their families than earn $13 a month by service in the army is absurd, for fully ninety per cent of those who now lack oc- cupation and desire it can find work on the farms and secure in return for their toil very much more cash and much better sub- sistence and quarters than fall to the lot of the soldier in the field, while the risk to life would be incomparably less. The trou- ble with too many of the idle men of the laboring class is their obstinacy as to the variety of cecupation they will follow; they have set up a wage-standard and do not Propose to deviate from {it no matter how much they and those dependent on them may suffer. Preparation for war is proper and commendable for the reason advanced by Washington, who said “to be prepared for war is one of the most effectual ways of Preserving peace,” but an aggressive effort | to force some nation to war with us could never be excused on the ground of national -expediency or party exigency. The evil would not be of the unmixed variety, how- ever, could the country be assured that the conscienceless ones who advocate causeless strife would be conspicuously located on the skirmish line at the opening of the first en- gagement. ——_-— + +2 — Senator Hunton having stated that an effort was made to bribe him with the sum of $25,000 to vote against the tariff bill, it is now in order for the Senate to inv: tigate the accusation made by one of its members and to lay the foundation for | Proceedings which will result in the pun- ishment of the man or men who proffered the bribe. Quite naturally, Senator Hunton will be disinclined to haye his name con- nected with any such disreputable affair, but in the Interest of all that is honest in legislation he should put aside his personal feelings in this matter and do everything in his power to expose those who would corrupt our Jaws where they should be | Purest. The “lobby” is nothing like as bold as it used to be, but to a greater or less extent it still exists. If Senator Hun- ton desires to do the national legislature and the people of the country a real service he will expose and punish the rascals who insulted him by their endeavor to purchase his vote. - —__ +++ —— It is officially stated that the Emperor William composes music.

R. bargains are new goods—choice goods bought of overstocked man- ufacturers to self at less prices than the earlier cost at wholesale. Thus P. R. bargains are superior to the offerings of those who are closing out early pur- chases, even if such goods are sold at the cost prices. Since ordinary clearing sales and going-out-of-bus- iness sales are but the dis- posing of such goods, it fol- lows that the Palais Royal bargains are superior to those “other bargains.” Seeing is.Believing ‘The Palais Royal is offering the sample summer Undergarments of the leadiug maker in the coun- try—Gowns made to retail at $1.35, $1.50. and $1.68 are offered ut 72 for choice.
