Asa News « Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to ‘THE STAR should be addressed to a Department, mccording to tenor or purpose. ——————— Scattered all through the city are many govert ment reservations—some large, some smali—which have become things of per- ennial beauty through the art of the horti- culturist. These parks are most grateful to man’s finer senses during the floral season of the year, which in Washington ts long extended, but the corbinations of emerald turf end multi-hued blossoms are less beau- tiful In many cases thaa they might be, for the flower thief is once more engaged in larceny of the meanest sort. But a little while ago, employes of the Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds set out a Jarge number of flowers and plants and shrubs of the most attractive kinds, and of these hundreds have already been stolen— deliberately torn up by the roots—while hundreds more have been trampled under foot by the thoughtless or vicious or by trespassing animals. Such occurrences are, unfortunately, far from being novel; they are part of the history of every summer In this city, and they will continue to happen until citizens generally take more interest im the preservation of Washington's park- ing system. Col. Wilson has again and again appealed for more of sympathy and inerease of appropriations; there have been Tesponses as to the former, and as to the latter there {s still ground upon which to stand and hope. In the meantime, citizens should be vigilant in endeavoring to assist the few whose duty it is to protect the Parks from such vandals as annually en- gage in the risky, but profitable, business of removing their more sightly features. If Congress wesuld only do what it really ought to do, ‘wtead of contenting itself with doing the few things it is compelled to do, it would make available a sum of money sufficient to give the parks all the personal police supervision they need. A crusade against flower thieves by the city’s guar- dians of the peace, and as many severe sen- tences as there were cases, would be highly appreciated by the community just now. — 202 New York's business men have planned a forceful demonstration against the income! tax proposition and will doubtless con- tinue their campaign against the obnoxious measure until campaigning is no longer nec- essary. Arrangements have been made for @ mass meeting tomorrow night, and the echoes of speeches there to be made will re- und through the halls of Congress for many days thereafter. It would seem as though, outside of the populist party and these who sympathize with it in the House and Senate, no American citizens can be found to favor the proposition which the administration insists will be forced upon the people. It was imagined at first by those who incorporated the inconte-tax prop- osition with the Wilson tariff bill that the only objections would come from men of wealth, but now that the workings of the provision are beginning to be understood, thousands of voices heretofore unheard are compelling attention. Income-tax advocates have endeavored in superficial ways to make it appear that the argument was empty which insisted that the tax would be a burden upon people of modest means who have invested their savings in some of the institutions that encourage financial sense. To this no better answer can be made than that which was uttered by President Town- send of the Bowery Savings Bank of New York. President Townsend said: “I base my op- Position to the income-tax on the ground that it attacks every thrifty man in the untry. It is wrong to say that it is an atiack solely on the rich. It is not. It ts an attack on every man. The man who has saved $2) out of his income in a whole year has to pay a tax on it. Every dollar in the savings banks must pay tax. In the state of New York the plain people, the thrifty, the saving people, the men and women who have the forethought to lay aside for a rainy day, have accumulated the vast sum of $1,000,000. This represents almost ex- elusively the manual labor of the poor. The @verage amount to the credit of each sav- irgs bank depositor is $00. When the in- come-tax was firs: proposed it was bad ough, but then it proposed to exempt shese savings of th: poor man. Now, though it has been amended and the poor people ‘who are getting $14 a year income on $400 Geposits must pay the income-tax on that i4. The savings banks of the state of New York have no capital. The only money they have ts that belonging to the depositors and the accumulated surplus of interest, which ds divided among the depositors. The in- come-tax is, therefore, a direct tax on the deposits of the people. It is unjust and un- called for. It should not be permitted.’ The Bowery, as everyone who has even the slightest acquaintance with New York knows, {s not the abode of millionaires. Posessers of great wealth do not put dollars Into the Bowery Savings Bank. This end of the argument has not, up to this time, re- ceived the attention it deserves. 2 —— soe It is unfortunate that at this late day— ‘wenty-nine years since the war of the rebellion came to its end—a southern orator should, with conspicuous publicity, and on a @ay sacred to the Union dead, revive and cry aloud the doctrine of righteous rebellion on the pert of those who upheld and fol- lowed the flag of the confederacy. Sensible Americans must deprecate such outbursts. For yearz the people of the south protested Joudly against northern waving of the Bloody shirt; they should, in all fairness, insist that their own representatives permit the ensanguined garment to rest in the soll to which all level-headed people have com- mitted it The day of strife is done—this Generation saw it not. Why then seek to Fevive issues in the veins of which life ceased long ago to flow? The Rev. R. C. Cave. who delivered the oration at the un- Yelling of the confederate monument at Richmond yesterday may, and probably does, believe that his utterances on that Oceasion were dictated by sincerity, but It would have been a much more sensible course for him to pursue had he, instead of Seeking to defend a lost cause, contented himself with lauding the magnificent valor of those Americans wh», in spite of the Gesperate bravery with which they fought S@sainst the odds, were the losers in the civil struggle. ——_— Seekers after decent government for Ha- ‘Wali need no longer fear the possibility of armed interference by President Cleveland im behalf of his truly great -ad good friend, the widow Dominis. From the day when the solid citizens of the Sandwich Islands refused longer to be governed by one of the most vicious of monarchies down to the Present time it has bee: possible for the supporters of the debased and debasing Queen to threaten a return to power of the idol from the worship of which they de- Fived so much of profit; but that possibility Bo longer exists. Royalist hopes were -le- vated very considerably when the contents of Paramount Biount’s report to the Prest- dent were made known, and there was ju- Bilation almost without limit among the venal minority when, through Minister Willis, President Cleveland requested the Provisional government to step aside in fa- vor of the oplum-smuggling and lottery rings. Fortunately, however, for the wel- fare of the Hawaiian Islands, the pro- visional government was not of a retiring Gisposition, and persisted in opposing every move made by President Cleveland and his agent; the opposition being not of an im- pudent or @ combative sort, but rather of the argumentative and appealing variety. Finding that Amertcan sentiment was al- most unanimously opposed to anything that looked like pro-monarchical interfer- ence, the administration settled down to @ policy of slience and tnaction—of which the Hawatian royalists took every advan- tage, insisting that the fatlure of Congres: to declare itself favorable to the establish- ment of a republic or to annexation to the United States meant that at the earllest available opportunity this government would, by force if necessary, restore Mrs. Dominis to her old-time position of promi- nence on a worm-eaten throne. Well-in- formed Hawaiians, even though they fi vored to some extent the cause of the ex- queen, have long been satisfied that physi- cal interference by this country was en- tirely out of the question, but there were many on the Islands who were not well informed and who cohsequently believed everything that was told them by royalist agitators. These agitators have predicted, with reiteration most convincing to the Ig- norant mind, the speedy return to power of the deposed Liltuokalani. The rumor- monger will, however, be out of a job as soon as the people of Hawail find out what was done by the Senate this morning, when, by a vote of 55 to 0, it was decided that Hawaii will be permitted to work out in its own way its political salvation. The action is entirely proper and cannot be ob- jected to by any reasonable individual. It cannot be denied even by the most en- thusiastic royalists that the provisional government has with it an overwhelming majority of all that ts best in commercial and social Hawaii. The organizers of the Hawaiian republic may now proceed with their laudable endeavors, confident that the big sister on this side of the Pacific will not throw any obstacles in the path of Hawalian progress, Se Some of Pennsylvania's medical men are earnest in advocating the substitution of | Poison for the rope as an instrument of | justice in cases where the courts have or- dered the infliction of the death penalty. The suggestion is not a new one; it has of- ten been considered In times past, and al- | though in these modern days it has never been accepted as the approved method, there is nevertheless much to be said in its favor. If applied in such a manner as to | be unknown to the victim it might be pref- | erable even to the New York system of electreeution. There would be no advan- tage in the administering of prussic acid or some other speedy agent of death if the criminal had to undergo the preliminaries of being strapped to a bed or a chair; in fact, electricity would under those circum- stances be preferable as being less person- ally applied. Medical science has reached @ very advanced stage and could safely be depended upon to provide the means neces- sary for the painless and secret execution of all who are, after fair trial, adjudged worthy of the extreme penalty. There would be nothing horrible in such a death; no cruelty, nothing to shock even the most refined. But the method, and the manner of its application—mysterious as it possibly could be—would certainly have more than a little effect upon those who have criminal tendencies. The gallows and the guillotine | afford far too many opportunities for bray- ado of a contagious type—opportunities that evil influences of public executions have | long been recognized. The tme has come when this nation—delighting to be regarded as the most civilized power on earth—should set the world an example by having all its | executions as nearly private as they possi- bly can be and conducted on principles far less crude than those that govern capital punishment as it is everywhere today ad- ministered except in the state of New York. ————_ + + +] ___. The public at large selects a few days from the calendar, such as Memorial Day and Fourth of July, and makes them dis- tinct and exclusive occasions of oratory. It is a pity that conditions do not permit the legislators for this country to adopt some similar method. It is a decided improve- ment on the continuous performance idea. ——_— 0+ The extreme ideas of Senatorial dignity, which there is an apparent effort to im- press, can never amount to a great deal.

We were talking about going away for the summer, and Charley said he didn’t enjoy it a bit; that there was no enjoyment in a fussy hotel.” “That's just like a man.” “Isn't it! So I got a paper and showed him an advertisement which said ‘All the comforts of home.’ * ‘Did he have anything to say then?” “Of course, he did. He remarked that he didn't see what use there was in traveling several hundred miles to get what we al- ready enjoyed. He ts getting to be just too brutal for anything!" Senatorial Relaxation.
