THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, SE ‘PTEN {BER 19, 1894—TEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY. .... September 19, 1894. CROSBY NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a vegular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. c7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, ply to THE STAR, o inl or Business Department, Among the many virtues with which man Is biest, none can claim much, if any, greater altitude than love of country, and there are times when patriotism must be su- Preme or the ration in which it 1s not will surely fall. Pecple who have watched closely the conflict between China and Japan must have seen ere this that the disparity in the fighting forces of the ‘two countries is not merely one of training or equipment. The differences are by no means obscure, and to the student must surely be interesting. In Japan there is active public interest'im the war and a widespread desire on the part of the Japa- nese individual to ercourage and partici- pate; in China there appears to be an utter Jack of, enthusiasm, while most of the vis- ible effort is to avoid military service. That there is so much of dissimilarity be- tween the opposiag forces is by no means remarkable to men and women who have any solid information as to the histories of the two countries. Japan is, in every sense of the word, a nation; China is but an ag- gregation of Mongolian tribes, ruled by a ‘Tartar dynasty with which most of the subdivisions of the empire would delight to be at war. Not at any tire is China at peace with itself; discontent with the ruling forces is continually made manifest by up- risings in one portion or another of the vast territory over which an unpopular monarch reigns with barbaric severity. When these things are borne in mind, and when weight Is also given the unquestionable fact that the average of intelligence is much lower in China than in Japan, then the news that victory is mostly with the Japarese ceases to be surprising. In the land of the Mikado the war spirit has wrocght changes such as in the ordinary course of events might not have been brought about in many years. Sé¢veral of the dividing lines by which the population was Givided into classes hzve been almost en- Urely eliminated, and as the struggle con- tinues the wiping out of social distinctions proceeds with extracrdinary rapidity—the moving cause being loyalty the like of which rarely appears. It is in the history of warfare that troops have gone forth to battle inspired to deeds of daring by the tearful smiles of women and the hoarse plaudits of their fellow men, but it may fairly be questioned if there were ever more genuine demonstrations than those throvgh which Japanese soidiers have marcted to the front; at times it has been neceseary for the authorities to forbid the excited populace carrying into effect some of the hospitable plans by which the sol- diers vere to be assured of the support of those who have not as yet been permitted to fight. Up to this time only soldiers of the regular army have done such slaughter- Ing as seemed to be necessary, but the Jap- nese government could speedily put into the field heavy reinforcements of volun- teers who are capable of doing great ex- ecution. The authorities have endeavored to asscre the people that none of the volun- teer forces which have been organized are likely to be needed, but the work of prep- aration goes right along, nevertheless, and should Japan suddenly find itself confronted by a great Chinese army {ft will have an ample supply of first-class material with which to deprive Li Hung Chang of a few more garments and decorations. Fears have been expressed that Japan would not be financially able to carry on the strife for any considerable period, but the manner in which the rich and the poor—all sorts and conditions of Japanese—are contributing to the war fund makes it evident that there will be no immediate embarrassment as to the money phase of the situation. That Japan will win is the earnest hope of every true friend of civilization. The fight now on is between darkness and light, between superstition and intelligence, between sav- age hirelings and thinking patriots. Surely ignorance shall not prevail. et oe It was quite proper that the alleged in- tention of a committee of English anti- lynchers to investigate one of our unfortun- ate but disappearing soeial conditions should have aroused very rauch of resent- | ment. an Emanating from some sources, intimation as to necessity for speedy re- form would have been well received, but coming from a near and hypercritical rela- live whose reputation for humanity when commerce is mvolved is none of the best, the homily was merely an annoyance. But while we belabor our British cousins for in- terference of a purely personal and unoffi- cial sort it might be con} to cur own realth to bear in mind the fact that when- ever we thought tt proper to advise the British government as to how It should move in its conduct of irtsh affairs we have never hesitated to speak right out and use all the lang: hat was deemed ne sary. Of course it will be admitted by everybody on this side of the Atlantic that there is not any paratlel at all between the cases—and there probably is not—but the towering truth that we are always ready to dispens to be good ad- Vice, regardless of the other fellow's feel- ings, will not permit itself to be hidden. tee son has exhibited a very captious and dictatorial spirit. evidences of hauteur: of a feeling he ts too good for this business. It will not be surprising to hear it announced that he has ideas of following In the footsteps of George Gould and putting on the gloves with the Prince of Wales. Such a piece of generalship would strike a stunning blow to Mr. Corbett’s social aspirations. Let Pompadour Jim beware.

But it ts a great deal more prompt and There are nominee who can command the support of every democratic voter. It is unfortunate for Mr. Morton that he should be handi- capped with the friendship of Platt, who continues, with considerable success, to Play the part of republican “boss,” for there have been reasonably-founded charges of friendship between “Boss” Platt and “Boss” Croker. That there is any organ- ized combination between the republicans es represented by Mr. Platt and the thor- oughly-discredited Tammany organization is highly improbable, but the political friendship of the two leaders may easily operate to the disadvantage of the republi- can party if the democrats are shrewd enough to nominate an out-and-out re- former. Governor Flower's declination of the renomination which would undoubt- edly have been his had he desired it, leaves the way open for the democratic state con- vention. Will it walk in that way? —> «= —____ Really-modern people who have inter- ested themselves In municipal affairs have always insisted that the management of many municipal matters would be vastly improved if some of the work was taken out of the hands of machine-minded man and turned over to women whose tenden- cies are reformatory. Testimony favorable to such change comes from Chicago, where, instigated by a woman member—Mrs. J. M. Flower—the board of education has voted to equip a number of the school buildings with bathtubs. It is quite a com- mon occurrence in Chicago for children to put in an appearance at school with hands and faces that are visibly dirty and with bodies that while concealed from the pub- lie gaze are no less in need of the applica- tion of soap and water. For a long time the board discussed the condition of these dirty pupils, and wondered what could be done to make them fit to associate with children who were better cared for, but not until Mrs. Flower suggested bathtubs was the problem solved. The District Commis- sioners could do very much worse than ap- poiat one or two high-grade, practical wo- men to positions on the local school board. —+ 2 ____ Washington has a reason to feel a good deal of lecal pride over the fact that one of its hotel proprietors has just been nom- inated for governor of New York. ———_ wen Perhaps China will, after a few more signal defeats, quit worrying Li Hung Chang about his social rank and begin fighting. —— er Li Hung Chang is now confronted with the problem whether life is worth living to a man without a three-eyed peacock feather. —-— + +e Washington is one of the best governed cities in the world.
