THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, MONDAY 4, 1894. eee ee ce eccnccce cone Si CROSBY = a THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation much than the combined circulation ef the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. i-4 order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but iy to THE STAR, or to the Editorin] or Business Department, mecording to tenor Fpose. ——————————— After all manner of trials and tribula- #ons, and in the face of unreasonable oppo- @ition, the effort to provide this city with a @ park worthy of the nation’s capital has Feached triumphant conclusion, President Cleveland having approved the recommenda- tion of the Rock Creek Park Commission as to the final purchase of the necessary lands. This concluding purchase exhausts the Money which Congress placed at the dis- posal of the Commission, and although the total acreage of the park is about three hundred acres less than the Commission hoped to be able to secure, the results as & whole are highly satisfactory. With the acquisition of the several tracts referred to im the reqtest of the Commission (printed elsewhere in The Star) it will be possible for these who will control park improvements to provide an artificial lake, which will at once be a source of pleasure and an ald to sanitation; for, without material lowering of the lake waters, lower Rock Creek—now nothing but a sewer—may be flushed as frequently and as effectively as the au- thorities desire. The Washington of today is grateful to those whose energy is re- sponsible for the creation of the park; the Washington of fifty years hence will be much more grateful. The work of improv- ing the seventeen hundred acres or there- abouts now within the park limits will necessarily proceed with deliberation, for Congress is slow to recognize the fact that no better time than the present could be found at which to expend considerable sums of money on public improvements that would give employment to many men who are now almost crazed by compulsory idle- = and the sufferings that are consequent reon. = Chicago came to the front a few weeks ago and waged a successful municipal war against the sale of candy containing alcohol. The variety of sweets most persistently at- tacked was brandy drops, which were par- ticularly affected by school children. An analysis of these attractive little things dis- covered that,a dozen of them contained as much alcohol as the average morning cock- tail of the confirraed tippler. New York has Now followed the suit of its big western sister, and the board of health has decided that brandy drops are bad for the health of minors, and the police have been instructed to see that their sale is discontinued. It would seem as though the manufacturers of brandy drops and similar alcoholic confec- tions would object to such a summary stoppage of the sale of their articles, but Such is not the case. On the other hand, they are fairly overwhelmed with pleasure, and are preparing to meet the demands of @ large country trade, which the wide ad- Vertisement of their peculiar wares has created. In the numerous communities where local option and prohibition compel a permanent thirst on the part of the bibu- lous, the announcement that surcease from sorrow can be procured in a solidified form has caused a consummate satisfaction, and candy stores which have hitherto led but & precarious existence are about to bloom out ‘n new paint and plate-glass windows, while the customers, who have hitherto been confined to the small boys and girls, Will become adult citizens, whose sweet teeth have suddenly been cut. It may not be surprising, indeed, to see the familiar gum drop and jujube paste of happy child- hood relegated to rear shelves, and their Places taken by Tomgin tablets, Curacoa caramels, compressed cocktail cakes and other similar creations. In view of these facts, it would be well for the District Com- missioners to institute inquiries In Wash- ington, and take summary measures to compel the discontinuance of the sale of such sweetmeats, if they are displayed any- where for purchase. —_—_+++—____ There ts something about a pistol or a gun which seems to inspire the average man and the average boy with an appar- ently irresistible desire to point the weapon @t some one and to pull the trigger. The thousands of lives that have been snuffed out by this habit—for such it appears to be—and the daily additions to the list of casualties, point out the necessity for some Systematic method of dealing with this Particular form of peril. Accurate knowl- edge as to {ts nature and origin may be Uifficult to obtain, but it is worth trying for. If the tendency Is one which the nat- ural will of the possessor vainly endeavors to overcome, or has been inherited, then there should be movement toward the es- tablishment of institutiona similar to in- ebriate and insane asylums, where people who “didn’t know it was loaded” could re- ceive such treatment as would appear to be beneficial. If, on the other hand, the ‘tonclusion is reached that the person who in this way kills or maims a fellow-being does so simply because he or she is thought- less and reckless, then the offender should be catalogued with criminals, and com- pelled to suffer criminal penalty. ‘The insults offered the American flag by @runken roysterers in Canada are of slight Consequence. it is in Nicaragua that gen- ‘ine humiliation Is to be apprehended. — + —— Potomac water resembles the celebrated goung lady of fiction, who, when she was cod was very, very good, and when she was bad, was horrid. —- +02 it seems that the American in Corea 1s Rot as popularly picturesque as is the Cor- ean in America. S. NOYES +e Mr. Gladstone will soon be in a position to go into politics with both eyes open, if; he chooses. —__ +++ Not in many years has there been such a &reat popular demonstration against pro- posed legislation as that which took place fu New York last Friday evening, when | Carnegie Hall was crowded with citizens| who were intent upon Protesting vehe- mently against the fncome-tax proposition which has been tacked to the remnants of | the Wilson tariff bill. The rich and the| Poor were alike represented—tor the poor who are inclined to be thrifty are more deeply interested in the Dili than those whose incomes exceed the imaginary an- nual limit of $4,000. The Star has already commented upon the infamous manner in which the law would squeeze those of mod- est means who put their slowly-acquired thing the income tax bill does is to come Der cent every year out of these invested funds, in order, if possible, to check the ac- cumulation of the money by which the widows and orphans are to be paid when the breadwinner dies. Is this all? Oh, no. It says, further, that the company itself shall pay two per cent on all its income over and above {ts ordi- nary expenses. Whatever is saved and in- vested you must pay two per cent upon: if you receive too much in the life insur- ance company, if the premiums are larger than the expenses of the policies to be paid, the money Is returned to the policyholders. That is called dividends. dividends, it is only returning to the owners that part of their money which is mot needed for the purposes for which it was contributed. But the law says that on all this you must pay two per cent tax. Does It stop here? Oh, no! There is an- other provision in this income tax law. It Saya the indtvidual taxpayer shall pay upon all money or personal property ‘received by inheritence, bequest, or otherwise.” Why ‘otherwise?’ life insurance compa- nies are in the habit of paying to widows and orphans sums of money to keep them out of the poorhouse, and to educate the children when the breadwinner is dead, and lest this should escape the taxgatherer two per cent is taken out of the pitiful sum from the widows and orphans under this beautiful law. “And this is the income tax which was supposed to be leveled at the rich! This income tax which singles out for its shin- whom it ra poverish—the widows and orphans.’ The American people do not want an in- come tax. The party that is temporarily. successful in compelling such a levy will surely be a minority for many years after the assessing effort is first made. —- + es Washington is deeply interested in the American University—the wisely-planned educational institution which is to do so much for American civilization—for it is now certain that the university will be one of the most conspicuous among the many elevating influences the fountain-heads of which are or are to be located within the District of ‘Columbia. Some little time ago it was announced that the general conf enee’ of théMethodist Episcopal Church South,“in quadrennial session at Memphis, had unanimously indorsed the university idea. Now it seems certain that the Meth- odists of the south will enter with enthus- iasm into the project and do their utmost to make the university a tangible something at the earliest possible period. Already there has been much of liberality displayed, and it seems certain that within a year or two the first of the big bulldings will be erected. With the aid of the southern por- tion of the great Methodist body progress can hardly be otherwise than rapid and gratifying. ee Perhaps Tailor Dowe of Germany might consent to make a few bullet-proof over- eccats for warships and so obviate future aimculties with armor plate, —— The Senatorial symphony now being per- formed would be more satisfying if it were less forte in some places and less plano in others, ed No doubt the Senate desires to close the Goors through fear that another tempta- tion may wander in. —_ +++ —_— Senator Gorman 1s on the road to recov- ery, but the Wilson bill is not even con- valescent, —__+ ++__ —_— SHOOTING STARS. Early Rising. It is fine to see the sunbeams overtop the eastern hill; Bards have ever sung of sunrise, and, most likely, always will; ; But he who loves that morning nap, will certainly agree That the jolliest kind of sunrise is the kind you do not see. A Thorough Confession. “Herbert,” she said, “tell me one thing, and tell me truthfully, Were you ever in- toxicated?”" “Well,” replied the young man, “I was air-tight once.” “What do you meen?” “I had a tooth pulled and took laughing gas.” Bette: “Do you think that Col. Shuffies is the right kind of a man to get Congress to ai tend to our business?” said a capitalist. “He doesn’t seem energetic.” “Oh, he’s all right.” “But has he a great deal of push?” better than that—he has a great deal of pull.” Let Well Enough Alone. Fond youth, though summer bids you shirk, For picnics ne'er forsake your work. Close to your office duties cling— Don’t undertake to push a swing. A Wide Distinction. “What a beautiful flower the poppy is," said the stately girl. “Yes,” replied the young man; “they get opium from poppies, don’t they?" “Really,” replied the stately girl, “to me Poppies are purely matters of aesthetics— not anaesthetics,” An Optimistic European. “Some time a change will come about— It can’t come in a minute; Some time we'll see a week without A single crisis in it.” The Difficulties of Tact. “It's hard to please everybod: aid the man with the mild disposition. “I was do- Ing my best to be agreeable to the man who Sat in the same seat with me in the street car this morning. I saw that he had grief in his heart, and so as to be sure of not recalling anything unpleasant I just talked about the weather.” “That was certainly a safe topic.” “That's what I thought. I commented on the m‘ldness of May, the delicious and um expected coolness of the weather, and was growing positively eloquent when I noticed that he had gotten gloomier than an under- takers’ trust. I was speechless; and in a moment he said, as he choked back a sob, ‘Mister, won't you stop that kind of talk and switch off onto base ball, or something? I'm in the drug store business, and May is the month we count on for the soda foun- tain to pay our running expenses for the whole summer.’ ” —_—__+ ++ ____ A Forthcoming Local Competition. From the New York Sun. We record with genuine interest the fact that Gen. Thom: Launcelot Rosser, the great Virginian spouting geyser, is in per- fect erupting form again. At Richmond, on Wednesday, he sent into the air a word stream 220 feet long and two inches broad, and so hot that it fried im its own adjec- tives. Gen. Rosser has taken the contract for heating the state house next winter. His next exhibition will be in a_competi- tion with Eagle, Number Six, Volunteer Fire Company of Alexandria. It will be a contest of wind against water. Gen. Ros- ser’s friends are confident that he will win the prize—a silver-gilt spanner. ee Chicago’s First Hepudiation. @ollars in savings banks.
