WacHINGTON,. June 21, 1894. . -Editor. JHE EVENING STAR hase regelar and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washingtom dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. delays, on ac- bsence, letters to should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, o the Editorin1 or Business Department, mecording to ten: To those who realize how dear to the hearts of political parties is that power ‘which comes alone from absolute control of governmental machinery it must seem more than strange that Senator David Bennett Hill should have been called upon to preach the cardinal principles of democracy to a Gemocratic President, a democratic Serate and a democratic House. But that is whet Senator Hill did today, and those who heard his speech or who will read {t cannot but admit that as a preacher the senior Senator from New York ts a success. ‘The topic to which he devoted most of his attention and the greater portion of his argument ‘was the income-taz feature of the tariff bill—worthy the attention of all American ¢itizens. The subject was handled in a masterly manner, and those whom the Sen- ator regards as renegades were not spared in his treatment of what he evidently be- eves to be an offense against good govern- ment. The speech, however, will long be Femembered for the severe criticisms {t con- tains as to the policy or lack of policy of those who, according to the Senator, are Griving the democratic party to political ruin. It was a great opportunity for Mr. Hill, and he took full advantage of tt. He told his auditors what sort of a democrat he ts by telling what sort of a democracy he repudiates, and ho showed very clearly that he had no patience with leadership that ignored party pledges and sought to make compromises with mugwumps and Populists. Likely to be frequently quoted @re those two sentences which say: “Pru- dence dictated that this Congress should not attempt to formulate new democratic octrines to which we have never been com- mitted, but rather carry out the pledges we have already made. It is a wise party which does those things which it ougat to do and has promised to do, and leaves un- done those things which it ought not to de and has not promised to do.” The Sena- tor’s protest against “the repuflation of the promises of the democratic party in order to adopt and carry out the promises of the populist party” ts a forcible appeal to some of those democrats who thought- lessly or through demagogic influences have looked favorably upon the income-tax idea. —_~1eo—___ The warm weath:r and the departure of the Peary relief party direct attention to @ matter that has not been exploited as it seemingly deserves to be, namely, the qual- ities of Ellesmere Land and neighbor- ing arctic regions as a summer resort. Up to within a year or so the popular im- pression as to that country was decidedly frigid; the dwellers in that almost unknown regioa were supposed to wear Icicles all the year round, the only changes wrought by the seasons being that in summer the crystal appendages were a little. shorter than at Christmas time. This idea is entirely er- Toneous. Ellesmere Land ts a very delight- ful place during the summer months; the days are quite warm, the nights are cool, and there are only a few mosquitoes.” Na- tive fruit is of course scarce, but during the daytime there ts shade wherever there is a house, and of ice there is no lack.’ It there- fore appears that the coast referred to pos- sesses all the qualifications claimed for re- sorts that have considerable repute as de- sirable places of resijence during the heated term. People who desire to penetrate the country’s interior, and who start out to do So, will doubtless have opportunities for suffering and privation, but those who merely want a secluded spot in which to Tenew health and store up energy can hardly, in view of recent testimony, find| gnything that more completely fills the bill | than Ellesmere Land does. If the truth | has been told—and there is no reason why | arctic explorers should exaggerate in this | matter—it is an easy probability that in a| @eneration or so Ellesmere Land will have | @ summer population like the White Moun-| fin country or our seaside resorts. screams nanaas | While thousands of Philadelphians are| today rejoicing over the opening of that} y's public baths, a large number of | Wasbingtonians who would like to indulge in a daily bath in the Potomac—but who eannot because reasonable facilities are lacking—are merely hopeful as to the re- Opening and mainterance of the bathing beach.

The subject has been taken | up by many theorists and has been dis-| cussed from all standpoints, but there has! been an absence wis 1 applica- | tion. Latest among the m: inent con-} hat is prob- nt social question is re Problem of Char. * by John Graham Annals of the itieal and Social 4 Mr. Bre wants charity to be so applied that the of independence among those who are its recipients shall not be a d, and to support his position he calls upon ticians like Chamberlain, rst ar nter, trained workers in char. like Moor Ede and Samuel Barnett, « Char! nom ts like Marshall, statisticians like woth.” Of course there are great erences between the kinds of pauperism t in Great Britain and in the States, but there is a family re- that becomes more and more arked each year. Across the Atlantic! e fs now strong tendency toward the! adoption of an old-age pension scheme to take the place of the ancient system in which the workhouse and out-door relief have long been the prominent features; in| this country effort can more profitably be concentrated on those who have not yet Feached an age where physical disability compels to dependence upon public or pri- vate bounty. The work done by charities that give without asking in return is, while of itself commendable, extremely danger- ous. Emerson did not err when he said “Man ts as lazy as he dares to be.” Thou- sands of men and Women have sounded the deepest depths of degraded pauperism be- cause they found it easier to exist on char- ity than to toil for bread. Mr. Brooks says that the main diffiewlty encountered by those who sought to alleviate distress last winter was the fact that “the whole mass with which the problem had to do was mixed hopelessly through and through with the professional beggar, the tramp and the dead-beat element; so confused by this ele- ment that no human ingenuity could in the least tell what we were dealing with.” The principal remedy is the application of work tests, and these, it is argued, should be operated largely, if not entirely, by the city itself. There is, as Mr. Brooks says, no reason for fearing any evil consequences if the “right to work” is admitted, provided that those who are responsible for relief retain control of the conditions under which work shall be given. It is, of course, impossible to provide men with the kind of work they want, where they want it, and at the wages they may endeavor to insist upon. The comprehensive organiza- tion advocated by Mr. Brooks ts hardly a present possibility—it could only be the growth of years—but it behooves those upen whom the burden will surely fall to be up and doing in good season; to plan de- Kberately before the time for execution arrives, so that when distress begins to be apparen® the machinery for its relief and the discouragement of pauperism may be in thorough working order. A communication in yesterday's Star deals with a matter in which every parent of small children who reside in the citv should be actively interested. A pdicycle rider complains, and with reason, of the obstruction to traffic that results from the use of the streets as playgrounds for the little ones. In the complaint which was voiced by the wheelman every person who drives any sort of a vehicle—from the most stylish turnout to the least reputable-ap- pearing huckster’s wagon—will doubtless join. Of course there are many accidents for which a driver or rider is unquestion- ably responsible, but in the majority of instances collision of children and wheels is due to the carelessness of those who are generally the greater sufferers. A little of parental admonition judiciously repeated at intervals would probably save life and limb. ——__- +e - In spite of the fact that Congress ts here to enchant the intellect and charm the senses it fs unquestionably the case that people who can afford an out-of-town holi- day are preparing to depaft to the sea- shore and the mountains. Not that Wash- ington ts an uncomfortable place to live in @uring the summer—for it is pleasant as any city possibly could be—but because the human body and the human mind love va- riety. But by-and-by the rush will be in this direction and every last one of the wanderers will be glad to be home again. —_-- eo ____ There is no one so unreasonable as to deny that the fence around the new post office is a specimen of prompt and efficient workmanship. —__++-—___ The long-distance slow race between the tariff bill and Mr. Lawler’s appointment is being watched with unabated interest. +o.
