THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, _ AUGUST 6, 1894—TEN PAGES. THE EVENIN G STAR. WASHIN GTON. BONDAY. sececeee ss August 6, 1594. ¢ «..- Editor. near Ss. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a veauien a permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of ington dailies. As a tising Medium it tecand no Sener, ein order to avoid delays, on ac- bse: letters to Id not be addressed to ivideal connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. It is rumored in police Star has already announced—that there will soon be a wholesale transfer of officers from one precinct to others, and for the reason that some, perhaps many, of the officers in one particular precinct, not erly will not work harmoniously with a superior, but sre hourly intent vpon doing everyihing they possibly can to render useless his ef- forts in behalf of iaw an. order. To rem- edy this unfortunate and disgraceful condi- tion of affairs those in authority have, it is sabi, agreed upon so many transfers as may be necessary to carry into effect plans that have the suppcrt of the statutes and the indorsement of all good citizens. The Star ventures to suggest that the remedy Proposed is merely another disease, which of itself will need heroic treatment. If off- ecrs have deliberately thrown obstruction: im the pathway of justice—no matter what the excuse tney may offer in abatement of their offending-—they shovld be promptiy and permanently dismissed. That a police- man—who has sworn to be an enemy of evil and who is liberally paid for keeping that oath inviolate—should permit his preju- “dices to interfere with th> faithful perform- ance of his duty is something not to be countenanced. There has been overmuch of leniency in dealing with offending offi- cers. There Is need of discipline and this is as good a time as any to apply it. — 2 ___ “Womankind” is a publication which pays especial attention to the, sometimes, gentler sex, but it does some of Its cilents grievous injustice in the comments it makes as to the women who are employed in the govern- ment departments. It would have people who are ignorant of the facts believe that women in the departments are most unfor- tunate creatures whose condition is but lit- tle above the plane of slavery. “Woman- kind” declares that “the mcst pallid, the most exhausted, the most unhappy set of women” were the department clerks in Washington at 5 o'clock of a very hot day, but fails to give any reason for the alleged unhappiness, uniess the intimation that it ‘was especially warm could be ro considered. Students of industrial conditions will find it difficult to account for the excessive pal- lor and exhaustion. “Womankind” hes, however, an explanation to suggest: “Rent for rooms in Washington is very high, the clezks mostly eat at cheap restaurants, and two meals is sald to be the order of the day with most of them. The woman on the farm who has plenty of milk and butter and bread would stare at the small modicum deemed sufficient to feed a government clerk. She would declare that the ‘interest- ‘ug pallor’ was an ‘interesting starvation,” and there is much truth in the idea.” How extremely absurd! Rooms are no more e*pensive in this city than in any other big Jown; most of the clerks do not eat at cheap restaurants, and the big majority eat at Jeast as much as is good for them. There doubtless are women who live on two meals ® day; some because they deem two meals sufficient, others because an invalid mother or sister, or a half dozen growing children make demands that can only be met at the cost of much self-sacrifice. The’ frequently- made effort to belittle the woman who works in the departments, to disparage, to assail, to insult, is discreditable to its au- thors. The woman clerk, as a rule, renders faithful service, enjoys health a trifle better than that possessed by women engaged in other varieties of sedentary employment, and eats a satisfying quantity of good food; mot enough, perhaps, for a woman who arises before daylight and dces a woman's never-ending work in and around a farm house, bet plenty for the wellbeing of a elty-dweller whose toil demands more of mental than of physical energy. ——“ +e A paper read before the recent Whist Congress, and published in “Whist,” ad- Voecates the establishment of chairs in uni- versities and colleges for instruction in whist, on the general ground that such in- struction would have educational value, as it would exercise and strengthen the men- tal faculties. Without considering the objec- tions that might be raised by those who are orposed to card playing of any kind, it is likely the proposition will be opposed by the many who are addicted to other games than whist and think their favorite games as much entitled to a place in a college curriculum, There are men who regard poker as the great natioral game, and who would probably appeal to the patriotism of Americans to secure the appointment of Professors of poker. Then old maid, pe- muchle, euchre, seven-up, and a score of other games would doubtless have their ad- Yocates. The proposition will probably have to be amended so as to make card playing ¢ourses optional. Then students can strive for degrees in whist, poker, seven-up or any other game which, in their opin- fon, would be of most advantage to them. ——_ +e Perhaps New York will step poking fun at Philadelphia's grass-grown streets until peo- ple have forgotten that a flock of geese and a@ couple of cows were captured recently on one of Gotham’s thcroughfares, ——__+ + + —___. Mr. Debs’s proclamation to the effect that the American Railway Union “needs money, needs it badly and at once” reads like a Plank from the Coxey platform, —_ ee Mr. Li Hung Chang should take comfort from the fact that among the devotees of superstiticn the yellow yest ranks as an un- B itigated hoodoo. —————— The tariff is feared to be in the soup that was spoiled by too many cocks, A remarkable display of affection for the National Guard fs now being made by some of those who are opposed to any increase in the size of the regular ermy, but whether the affection is real or merely a conventent subterfuge from behind which to fight army enlargement does not yet clearly appear. The National Guard is composed of admirable material, and, according to the light it has in various sections of the coun- try, is doing its utmost to become thoroughly efficient. But Congress. and state legisla- tures and the people generally must bear in mind the necessity for more of encourage- ment than has yet been given. If the Na- tional Guard {s to do such duty as the regu- lar army does, and do it as well as the pro- fessional soldiers do it, there must be a decided increase in the annual appropria- tions. It costs, roundly, $25,000,000, to sup- port the army and the military academy for one year. Toward the equipment of the National Guard the government contributes the munificent sum of $400,000, the balance— Which has never been anything but insufii- | cient—being appropriated by the respective states. Until very recently pot more than | three or four states gave tangible evidence of | appreciation of services rendered by the yolunteer fortes, and even now the en- @eavers of men who struggle to prepare for the exigency that may arise at any mo- ent are hampered by a financial policy sc ardly that no reasonable tre offer mn afi éxcus¢ for it, In this city excep- | iis labofs tnally Ane rene of ope has. ben oath for the public good, but the train- ing has beep, and is being, conducted in the face of difficulties sufficient to discour- age any but the most courageous of men. Year after year the appropriation has Veen barely sufficient to keep the organization alive. That prosperity, in the military sense, is an existing condition is due to the Kberality of officers and enlisted men, who have spent freely of their own money to make possible that readiness for duty to take advantage of which the government will be quick enough, although it averts its head when the hat is being passed around. For three years the District National Guard has been without a brigade encampment, and only through phenomenal persistence has there been secured from Congress an appropriation to make sure a camp in 1895. Throughout most of the states national guardsmen are confronted by such ob- stacles. The pleasurable fact that the guard survives is creditable to the patriotic energy of a leavening few. If there is to be no Increase of the regular army, then ore attention should be given those who devote so much of their time and their in- comes to public purposes. All told, there are about 110,000 officers and enlisted men in the National Guard. If an army of about 27,000 receives $25,000,000 annually, how much should be expended in the edu- cation of an army of 110,000? ~ 2 The thermometer gives no indication of It, but if one belleves Maj. Gen. A. W. Drayson, F. R. A. 8. to be right in his calculations, we may hope for the return of the tce age in a few thousand years. Gen. Draysen is en Englishman, an army officer, and as stated above, a F. R. A. S., so it fs not surprising that one gets an impression from his article on the ice- age in “The New Science Review” that he alone of all scientists knows what he is talking about, and that he discovered years ago everything worth discovering. Maj. Gen. Drayson has, through his mathemati- cal calculations, found that the earth wob- bles a good deal more than science has generally given it credit for, and that con- sequently there have been greater changes in the arctic and antarctic circles within a few thousand years than has been be- lieved to be the case. He finds that about 18,500 B. C. the circles extended 12 degrees further than at present. The same cai- culations convinced the mathematician that there was a period of about 18,000 years during which extreme cold prevailed in winter down to much lower latitudes than it does at present, and that this extreme climate terminated between 6,000 and 7,000 years ago. These are discoveries which Gen. Drayson claims to have made through geometrical astronomy years ago, although Seologists are just now getting around to pretty neazly the same figures. Gen. Dray- son had the satisfaction of sitting down and having a long rest, while the scien- tifle world was catching up with him. There is an interesting suggestion in the fact that the date fixed by Gen. Drayson for the close of the ice age is not far from thet given for the creation, according to the Jewish calendar. Another ice age can be expected in twelve or fifteen thousand years, not soon enough, however, to cause any important changes at present in modes of life, or to justify refrigerating com- panies in going out of business. If Li Hung Chang does not soon suc- ceed in pleasing his emperor the war cor- respondent may have occasion to refer to him as Li Chang hung, or words to that effect. —— soe Perhaps the distinguished tariff legis- lators have been unduly impressed by the admonitions against overexertion in hot weather, —_ ~++e——__ Russell Sage can stand being slandered a gcod deal, but when he is accused of giving away money, he feels compelled to draw the line, —__- +e —__.

He never thinks of going home before midnight.” Unsatistied. Oh, life is a season of dire discontent; Of sorrowful watching and waiting; In winter we sigh for the Fourth of July, And in summer we're eager for skating. His Theory Hlustrated. “And you would prefer to have me visit you less frequently,” he said. “Yes,” she snswered. “Father objects to my recelving so much company.” “And you won't wear my engagement ring?” “No. Father objects to my receiving pres- ents from young men.” “And you decline to meet me occasionally at the front gate?” “Yes. Father has just purchased a buil dog, you know.” His face tok on a shadow of deep an- noyance, “It is as I feared,” he muttered. ‘The ecuntry is going all wrong through too much paternalism.” Li Hang Chang's Alternative. I no longer feel dressed since they've taken my vest, Of the beautiful aureate hue; For the jacket was won by the deeds I had done, And its loss leaves me frightfully blue, It's a terrible test, to be robbed of your vest, If you live in the flowery land; But, though bitter my cup, I will try to bear up, For inyention brings comfort fo hand, Il envelop this breast, since it's minus B@ vest, In @ garment of worthier note; It is practical, too, for, between me and you, T'll invest in a bullet-proof coat, No Room for Disappointment, From the Detrolt Free Press, Carnot’s murderer says that he was re- sponsible and would accept the con: quences of his brutal and cowardly act.
