THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..................Jame 11, 1894. CROSBY S$. NOYES. — — THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of «he othe? Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. eae ee ee ee [7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of perso: bee ‘THE STAR sho On the 14th day of June, 1777, the Con- tinental Congress passed the following res- olution: “Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen states be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” With this as a senti- ment and guide, the Pennsylvania Society of the Colonial Dames of America inaug- urated the movement to have the 14th day of June known as Flag day, and to be ob- served by the display of the American flag from every home in th2 land. Certainly no more patriotic observance could have been inaugurated than this, nor could thers be one which would appeal more directly to all people, for it is so simple and so inex- pensive that even the poorest patriot among us can fling his bunting to the breeze on that day. It is not that one shoyld make @ grander display than another, but that all should have at least some showing, so that it would be Flag day in fact as well as in resolutions. Flags are plenty, and all that is necessary to be done is to think of the day and run the flag up at window or door, Sate-post or gable. “Go fling the starry banner out” is the motto of the day, and whether your flag be of silk or of cotton, it is the emblem of the free, and rag or ribbon, no man will dare to haul it down. The apparel doth not preclaim Old Glory, and the pride of the people of this nation is living In its tattered battle flags. Remem- ber, then, the day, and let every house float a flag on Thursday, the 14th of June. In line with this the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has issued a call to the peo- Ble to observe the day. “+ +e __— Dispatches from Uniontown, Pa, tell a ‘story that should heat the blood of every good citizen and stir to indignant protest the many men who love fair play. Four coke-workers were yesterday made the prisoners of several hundred strikers at New Haven. There the captors covered their victims with chalk and decorated their pezsons with big placards, on which im large letters insulting terms were in- scribed. For several hours the unfortunate Quartet was compelled to parade through the streets of New Haven and adjacent settlements, exposed to all manner of in- dignity and suffering actual physical in- jury. Hooted and jeerei at by.the escort and thousands of riotous on-lovkers, bruised with stones and club, and spat upon by women and children, the captured four ‘were exhibited to their own families and ‘were then taken away and hidden so ef- fectwally that the tardy officers of the law last night failed to find them. People un- acquaimted with the conditions now exist- ing im the coke regions may ask of what crimes were the prisoners guilty? Some will be astounded to learn that their only offense was a desire to work. ‘The majority of those ordinarily emplojyéd in the coke re- gions have—for reasons sufficient or in- safficient—decided to remain out on strike; the minority, represented by the four tor- tured men referred to, elected to labor. The individual who occasionally rises gnd wants to know whether our boasted lib- erty is a reality or merely a name has good excuse for his inquisitivenesa, —_—__~+ e+ —__ A most misleading paragraph is going the rounds just now to the effect that there is in the District of Columbia the largest @math rate from consumption known in the ‘Urited States. If the statement were tras, it might be in order for the District to make no comment on it, but as a matter of fact ‘Washington can comfortably compare mor- tality statistics under this head with any “ether city on the continent. The death rate from tuberculosis last year was 2.7, and very much of it is not fairly chargeable to the District, because a large percentage of the deaths were those of patients who naturally made Washington a stopping- place while on their way to or from south- ern resorts where consumption is said to be easily cured. The latest figures as to the Geath rate from tuberculosis in all the prin- cipal cities in the United States are not im- mediately available, but it is certain that San Francisco reports 3.3, New York 3.2, and Boston 3.0. Washington is one of the most healthful of cities, and within a few years will be second to none. +e. The District Commissioners have tssued a call for a citizens’ meeting, to be held to- morrow afternoon, to devise a plan for co- operating with the Knights of Pythias ia arranging for the comfort of the thousands of visitors expected encampment of the order is held here in August. These visitors are coming from every quarter of the country, and it is important for the good of the city that no element of hospitality should be lacking in their reception. The Knigh:s of Pythias Parade and encampment nave prvved great attreetions in other cities. Whea the en- campment was held in Kansas City two years ago the railroad reports showed that 116,000 visitors were carcied to that city. It has been thought that the parade and encampment here, plus the national capital and the inducement of low rallrcad rates, may bring even a greater number of visitors to Washington. At any rate, it is incum- bent upon the city to give the visitors a hearty welcome. ' soe It has been common to compare the trol- ley to the juggernaut. In justice to the juggernaut it is proper to say that that vehicle made its appearance only at long intervals. ————__+ e+ __ Mr. Coxey and his comrades of the com- Monweal should exert themselves to the Utmost to mitigate the common woe which ingly organized. —_~+ es _—. be observei that while Mrs. Lease has personally beaa on the sick list, her Views on things fa general possess all their Wonted vigor. ++ Gov. all of Virginia has at last Feached the conclusion that the common- wealth of which he is chief magistrate has too long been trifled with by her neighbor | on the east—the sovereign state of Mary- | land.

Yet Maryland laughs: most improper cachinnation, ill-timed hilar- ity, levity without cause, misplaced mirth. Suppose the Virginia navy, wearying of vain attempts to prevent, should start out upon & voyage of reprisal; should steam up the Chesapeake, stopping occasionally to mow down the whitewashed trees of Maryland's pet summer resorts and using up sufficient ammunition to even scare the sea-nettles off the Bay Ridge bathers; then bombard Annapolis until it was wide awake; and finally land Gov. O’Ferrall and defend him from an infuriated but conquered people while he delivers an oration on the inalien- able rights of every Virginian to defend his property in the valuable soft-shell-crab orchards of which the state is properly proud. If Washington can do anything to avert hostilities and save Maryland from humiliation, the sacfifice will cheerfully be made. It would, perhaps, be impossible for the people of this city to abstain entirely from crab consumption during this season, but the populace generally will doubtless consent to purchase and eat only those brachyurans on whose backs Gov. O’Fer- rall or some trusty servitor had with a rubber stamp impressed the great state seal. Let us have peace! ——__ +2 Prompt attention should be paid by the parents of this city to the appeal of an eighth-grade lad, who writes to The Star in behalf of the free bathing beach in this city. His letter, which is reprinted in another part of this fesue, indicates the great interest v ~h the young nen of the Capital take ir is institution. Washing- tcn needs such « beach, just as it needs a Health Office. The people of this city have never been unwilling to support the beach out of their own pockets, and would have done so were it not for the necescity of Congressional action before a cent could be spent. There is now pending an amend- ment to the District appropriation bill, mak- ing the needed allowance, not only to re- habilitate the beach from the wreck of last autumn’s storms, but to maintain it throughout the coming seasons. This itera, however, even if it should be favorably en- tertained, cannot possibly become availavie for at least two months, and jn the mean- time the boys of the city will be sneaking off to their secret swimming holes, and, sad though it may be to predict, drowning in the deep places and the swift currents. where they are out of reach of help. The best authorities have estimated that the free bathing beach has saved scores of lives to Washington, and they have been lives vell worth saving in every case. Aside from the merely sanitary considerations of the case, the humane view of it demands that action of some sort should be taken at once. Let the citizens rise superior to Con- grees, and follow the lead of the young ran who starts the list with his dollur, urtil the needed fund is secured. There are several items of work to be dcne at the beach that will take at least a fortnight, and sp no time is to be lost. —-- ee .-_— Washingtonians have no need to be ashamed of their benevolence and benefi- cence in the Chewning case. Whatever the character or history of the man he was clearly suffering and needy, and it appears that his family are fully worthy of every- thing that may have been done for them. ‘There was no reason why the facts concern- ing Chewning should be suppressed, as if the city by relieving him had given him im haste an indorsement, intellectually and morally, which must at any cost be made good for all time. On the contrary it was desirable in the public interest that the truth should be known, in order that no mcre of contributed money should be placed unconditionally at Chewning’s disposal, but that all should go to his wife and chil- dren. It was also necessary to learn the exact facts in respect to the Chewnings in order to ascertain the measure of additional aid, after their immediate wants were re- Meved, which could properly be rendered to them, without doing injustice to* other unemployed and suffering people in Wash- ington, who were fully worthy of relief, and in respect to whom local charitable impulses could safely be gratified. —__ +++ ___ The sugar inquiry is slower than the average investigation of its kind in reach- ing the “What are you going to do about it?” stage. —_—__+ + ____ Davis H.
