THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, MONDAY. serevecseres May 28, 1894, CROSBY $8. NOYES..,,,..,,,,,-,-Editar, = eae WHE 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. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- gount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should be addressed to any individual connected with ti fice, but simply to THE STAR, o the Editorial or Business according to tenor or purpose. of- to t, Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania is try- {ng to do the best possible thing in connec- tion with the coal-strike that afflicts the Keystone State more than any other of the commonwealths in which coal mining is carried on. Operators and miners have ‘been regarding each other as deadly ene- mies for some time past, and there was but Uttle possibility of a speedy settlement of the trouble had the two opposing elements left to work out the problem for them- In one or two counties the friction been so great as to result in bloodshed strikers and officers of the law having ‘been sacrificed—and there was every prob- a power, so he decided to talk the matter over with employers and strikers, and it trator, and the probabilities are that the operators will alsq agree to submit their case to him and abide by his judgment. Property valued at many millions of dollars is now threatened by the rioters; scores of industries are helpless from lack of fuel; men, women and children suffer hunger Without cause, and the good name of one of the greatest of the states is being tarnished. Governor Pattison is to be commended for his willingness and earnestness. Every good citizen hopes he may succeed in his Praiseworthy endeavor to put an end to the coal strike in Pennsylvania, ———_+ee - Within a few days the House committee on public buildings and grounds is expected to make a report upon the survey made by it, im accordance with the express desire of the House, for a site upon which could be erected that new Government Printing Office building ahout which mankind has been talking for so many years. Disgusted with the wrangling and lobbying of real estate owners, who were fighting to secure the purchase of their property, the House ordered the committee to find a site in one of the public parks of which this city is So proud. The committee unwillingly bowed to the decree of superior numbers and will make a formal report in which will sug- gest the sacrifice of that portion of the mall now occupied by the United States Fish Commission building. But the com- mittee will not vote for its own report—a conclusion that does the committee infinite credit. The committee, in common with all other persons who believe that the national apital should be the most beautiful city im the world, is opposed to every scheme that inclines toward vandalism. Legislators ‘who are of the “penny wise, pound foolish” variety may imagine that there is economy fm the use of parks for building purposes, but men who have had any experience in municipal matters know there is no better investment made by any community than the money expended in the acquisition and maintenance of many acres for parking purposes. Every visitor to Washington is im} with the value of these breath- ing p! of which a stingy few would deprive this city. That the House will in- sist upon the threatened trespass is hardly likely. ——_ 2024 —_ Minneapolis has followed the good ex- mmple set some months ago by Pittsburg und other progressive cities, and is now hard at work endeavoring to provide re- munerative labor for the many unemployed im that region. The matter has been dis- cussed for some time, and many plans were suggested, but the best one is the one that has recetved the approval of the city coun- cil, which has practically decided to issue Bonds to the amount of $100,000 at 2 per cent, the money realized to be used for Public improvements, among which a large ‘water-reservoir is conspicuous. There will be no trouble in disposing of the bonds, for the business men of Minneapolis have al- ready agreed to take the entire issue. Last winter Washington endeavored to do good to the unemployed of this vicinity by re- questing its city council—Congress—to an- ticipate by about six months an appropria- tion of $45,000. But chronic objectors in the House of Representatives made the best method of relieving distress impossible of local application, so the people who would have earned the $45,000 ad to be supported by charitable contributions. It is the poor- est sort of policy to make a pauper of a man who really desires to work, but the eongressional economists had no thought as to this. Minneapolis is to be congratulated on the fact that its municipal government is beyond the reach of those who did the unemployed of the District of Columbia so much of injustice when their need was dis- tressing beyond description. A dangerous rival to Mr. Coxey in the affections of voluntarily unemployed com- Tmonwealers appears in the person of William Boetler, a foreigner,who is now on his way to the Sandwich Islands for the purpose of establishing an ideal civilization. Mr. Boet- ler has money wherewith to carry out his cherished schemes, which are charmingly simple in their originality. He believes that mankind devotes entirely too much energy to the mere matter of living, and the fun- damental principles of his system are that those who join their fortunes to his in the great reform must determine to live upon Rothing but fruits and grasses; must wear Ro clothes, and must not indulge in any ether exertion than that of breathing. Mr. Boetler and his disciples will be known as fruitarians, and he has selected the Sand- wich Islands because the temperature in that vicinity is peculiarly adapted to the uniform they are expected to wear. There is little doubt that Mr. Boetler's tlea will commend itself at once to many of the commonwealers, and he may be sure of getting thousands to follow and stick to him—as long as his money holds cut. —_~+o—____ The Detroit Free Press has attained its sixty-third birthday, and is Properly being congratulated by thousands of well-wishing contemporaries. Age has not stiffened the Joints nor dimmed the eyesight of the Free Press—it is in every respect younger and brighter and better than at any other time im its long history. A new and perfectly equipped office guilding is evidence of its well-earned success. +o —___ Thousands of impressionable people have visited the strangely-conglomerate town of El Paso, but {t is not at all probable that any of them ever carried away with them the idea that El Paso was likely to achieve fame as a moral center. Of course there are many most decorous people there, people ‘whose instincts to do those things not in accord with public principle are restrained, People whose minds are pure and delicate and refined, but they have never been quite 80 conspicuously in evidence as their neigh- bors of the less particular varieties—the folks who were a trifie careless as to most of the commandments and frankly averse to the restrictions imposed by at least one or two of the more stringent regulations made known to man through the medium of Moses and the tables of stone. It is there- council has just promulgated an ordinance which prohibits the wearing within corpor- ate limits of that garment known as “the divided skirt.” Some years ago a town in declaring. the wearing of a Mother Hub- bard gown to be a misdemeanor, but the foolish legisiation never amounted to any- and it ts fair to presume that the law will soon be forgotten. There indecent in the wearing or the ap- pearance of the divided skirt. The garment itself is much more sensible than the dress now commonly used by civilized womankind and from the hygienic point of view de- serves only encouragement. ——_—-- + + —_ Very many times there has been popular demand for better illumination and more thorough policing of the Capitol grounds, and now has come strengthened argument for the expenditure of a little more money. Saturday morning at about 6 o'clock the body of a man, who had been dead for some time, was discovered near the grotto—a fa- vorite rendezvous for those who love dark- ness rather than light and whose desire for gloom is there fully gratified. The presump- tion is that this man committed suicide, and it is also believed that the shot which put an end to his existence was fired some seven hours before the body was discovered. Is it not rather extraordinary that in the heart of this city (but without the common juris- diction of th2 city’s police force) a man should die by the noisy revolver method and the act be unknown and the body unseen for so long a time? ‘In spite of the appear- ances favoring the theory of suicide, it might easily be that a murder was com- mitted, and if such was the case the mur- derer showed great sense in selecting the Capitol grounds as the place in which to commit his awful crime. More gaslight, more electric light, more able-bodied and vigilant men to preserve the peace are prime necessities in the Capitol grounds and the big parks of the city. —-+-—___. It has been declared by a Pennsylvania operator that he will import colored men to do the work of the miners who have struck. It is perhaps as well for his pro- ject that he watted until the final quietus was put on aspirations concerning the Re- corder of Deeds’ office, ——_~++s—___.

From the Baltimore Sun. Good city government is not an impos- sibility. It exists in Washington city, where the taxpayers’ money secures a maximum of practical benefits. It exists in many cities of Europe, where city gov- ernment is conducted on strictly business principles. It is practicable wherever re- sponsibility is concertrated upon persons selected without reference to political opin- ions, and with a view solely to their ac- quaintance with municipal problems. Un- der our system of selection the control of affairs seems to fall with certainty into the hands of a wholly different set of men, for the reason, pezhaps, that the men of intelligence and capacity neglect to use the ballot. They have not-the time to follow the ins and outs of politics, being engrossed in their private business and unwilling to face the experiences of the electioneer. Inevitably, under the circum- stances, city government comes under the management of men whom the New York Times defines as “of narrow intelligence, dull moral sense and sordid motives.” They are the uling class,” and under their auspices affairs are administered without regard to purity, economy or any other virtue, the object in view being to “make” the most possible out of a fleeting opportunity. ee __.
