4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY.........September 29, 1894. CROSBY S$. NOYES.. Editer. SHE EVENING STAR has a reguiar and permanent circulation much more tham the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. t7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to ‘THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Departments, according to tenor or purpose. In spit of the fact that there was seem- ing agreement between the police commis- openly that he Coes not want the police to act “like sneaks or spies” in getting evi- dence against the liquor dealers. The dis- tinction which Sheehan makes is one to which no good citizen can for a moment assent. Any breach of the law is an of- fense, and while it is possible for a police- man to do a discreditable thing in order to bring about the arrest of an offender, very few officers are guilty of misconduct when on the trail of a law breaker. Commis- sioner Sheehan will, of course, admit that it is perfectly proper for a policeman to doff his uniform and to wear almost any sort of a disguise while endeavoring to cap- ture a burglar or a murderer, but he draws the line when the police “act like sneaks or spies” in getting evidence against the liquor dealers. A liquor dealer who obeys the law is im no sense to be regarded as even a misdemeanant—there are very many men engaged in the sale of intoxicants who are im the front rank of prominent business men—but a liquor dealer who wilfully breaks and thus defies the law, stands on pre- cisely the same level as any other enemy to the well-being of the community and the country. Commissioner Sheehan and every one else who knows anything at all about police work must be aware of the impossi- bility of securing evidence against opera- tors of speak-easies and others of their kind by policemen in uniform; as well go hunting @ pickpocket with a brass band in a wagon on the sides of which the purpose of the expedition is set forth in large letters. Superintendent Byrnes is evidently doing the right thing at last. He has broken loose from unwholesome domination and will en- force all of the law so long as there is any law to enforce. —_~ 2 >_. South Carolina was much disturbed when the dispensary liquor-law went into effect, and from that day to this those who were @ minority at the polls and in the legisla- ture have done their utmost to annul the statute. At no time was there a prohibitive Proposition; the most rigid bill introduced made possible tle sale and purchase of in- toxicants. But Arkansas has gone a long step further than did South Carolina when it elected a legislature that provided for state barrooms. At the recent Arkansas state election the question of license or no license was directly voted upon. Complete returns have been certified to the Secretary of State, and those returns show that 47,622 people voted for continuing the license sys- tem, while 49,595 voted to make the liquor traffic iliegal. There can therefore be no dcubt whatever as to the sentiment of the majority of those who voted; it is unfor- tunate that the toial vote expressed in the above figures is only about 50 per cent of the state vote. It would be a surprise to a Steat many people if Arkansas should tegis- | late favorably to prohibition. Southern | State have, somehow or other, always been regarded as having decidedly alcoholic ten- dencies. ———~e+—___ A suit in which the people of the District of Columbia should, and probably will, be much Interested was filed today in the Bupreme Court of the District. Its object is to restrain an institution which calls {itself the Hahnemann Homeopathic Uni- versity from operating within District terri- tory. The prime mover in the matter is the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District and it has taken action because it regards the proposed university as a slander on homeopathy and because it believes the public welfare is threatened by the manner in which the so-called university is being run. The merits of the case will be fully discussed in court, but that there is reason for the imstitution of proceedings is evi- denced in a very interesting recital of experiences related by “Pauline Pry” in the news columns of today’s Star. It is unfortunate that there is really no law here by which illegal practitioners may be restrained, but it is possible that in spite of the absence of a specific statute some ‘way may be found to protect society from those who would prey upon it in the guise of physicians. ——- +0 ———_ ‘The Star's correspordent in Honolulu, who writes over the signature of “Kameha- meha.” contributes today a deeply-interest- ing letter on British and American inter- ests in the Island Republic. The Kameha- meha letters have done very much to make Plain the sitvetion in Hawail; this partic- ular letter is especially valuable. ~~ oe - There is dissensicn among the politicians ef the Tenth Massachusetts Congressional district. Many anxious and influential men have struggled for the nomination which will carry with the privilege of spending a good deal of money while searching for a majority of the votes in the Tenth District at the November election. In the hurly- burly which is almost necessarily a part of the primary proceedings, the democrats of the Tenth evidently lost sight of him who was once their favored son—Michael Joseph McEttrick—and nominated someone entirely unknown to fame. Naturally in- censed at such neglect, Mr. MeEttrick made up his mind to start out on his own hook, as it were, and has announced himself as an independent democratic candidate, and as such will run in November next. The true meaning, in all its fullness, of the an- nouncement that Mr. McEttrick will “run” | will not be appreciated by the great Ameri- | can multitude. Running for Consress does rily involve any great amount I exertion, ner is the race often course of training, but the be done by Mr. Me- ave athletic charac- al sketch furnished sional Directory If, it is stated, by speaking of Mr. Me etrical and splendid due to his taste for athletics, w yped early in life; by the time he had reached his majority he had won a national reputation for pow- ers of strength, activity and endurance, and a record for wrestiing, leaping and pedes- trianism which for a long time remained unbroken. He won the long distance pe- destrian championship of America in 1869, and during his long athletic career never met with defeat.” The regular democratic nominee may have behind hia a powerful organization and a trick, physi that THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY;: SEPTEMBER large campaign fund, but competition with Mr. McEttrick that involves “running” must surely result in defeat for Mr. Mc- Ettrick’s competitor. It cannot be doubted that the “independent” candidate is now in training: that he rises at a phenome- nally early hour in the morning and after a plunge in decidedly chilly water amuses himself for five miputes with a punching- bag. Then he eats a Iittle dry toast and drinks a cup of weak tea and trots away for a ten-mile spin; his symmetrical and splendid physique being largely concealed in a huge white sweater. Then, while his lethargic opponent swears at the trolley- car gongs, preparatory to turning over for forty or fifty additional winks, the Massa- chusetts Apollo is rubbed down, after which he consumes with avidity the large plate of underdone beefsteak and the chunk of stale bread permitted him by his strict trainer. All of two hours of each morn- ing are probably sacred to Delsarte, while at least as long a period in the afternoon is devoted to oratorical endeavor in the Presence of the best available instructor. In the evening a little later on in the race, the entire wisdom and grace acquired dur- img the day will be rehearsed before an appreciative audience, and when the tast faint echoes of popular applause have died away, Mr. Michael Joseph McEttrick, with undamaged physique and unimpugned sym- metry, and jaws in the hinges of which there is not even the suspicion of weari- ness, will retire to his hard mattress, there to slumber until the hour for the morning bath arrives. If preparation like this does not result in victory, then has Boston for- sakea the worship of muscle, and John Law- rence Sullivan and Michael Joseph McEt- trick are fractuzed idols. ee The expedition sent to Northern Labrador by the University of Pennsylvania is now on its way home after two months’ success- ful work. Details of the discoveries made have not yet been published, but it is an- nounced that three rivers of considerable size were explored, and a good deal of sur- veying was done. Two members of the party tramped 120 miles into the interior and found some most remarkable cataracts and rapids. Some of the geographical dis- coveries are said to be of great value, while the natural history collection of the expedi- tion is declared to be extremely interesting. A brief interview with Prof. Hite, who was in charge of the party, quotes the professor as saying that Labrador is a wonde-ful country. In the interior are deep valleys, large rivers and great forests; also indica- tions of mineral deposits. The timber lands and minerals, lakes and water courses con- stitute, in the professor's opinion, rich po- Tentialities It is generally understood that the scientist is a true cosmopolite; his la- bors are for all minkind. But it is never- theless somewhat strange that an American institution of learning should pay such attention to unexplored regions belonging to Great Britain, while there is so much of unknown territory beneath the Stars and Stripes. It may be, however, that some sort ef a reciprocal arrangement could be made by which the British government would ex- plore Aiaska in return for the energy and cash which is being expended by the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in Labrador. It does appear as though the United States was too stingy to do any more than sail around the coast of an undoubtedly valua- ble piece of property. Possessed by this country for rearly thirty years, Alaska is still practically an unknown land. A few of the Hudson Bay Company's trappers have see. a good deal of it, and Fred Schwatka opened some eyes with his story of the valley of the Yukon, but, with those exceptions, the interior has not been dis- turbed by either the scientist or the searcher after material wealth. The western edge, where tourists go, has been visited by a great many people, but the vast extent of inner Alaska, where valuable timber, rich mineral deposits and much else of conse- quence to a commercial nation are to be found, is an almost unbroken blank on gov- erument maps. oe More conspicuous than any other of the many eulogies of Senatur Hill made public since the Senator’s nomination for gov- ernor is that which was trumpeted across the continent and over the storm-swept surface of the world of waters by Mr. John cyd Thacher, who was himself a seeker after the lottery ticket which Senator Hill secured possession of. Said Mr. Thacher: “Senator Hil is the Henry of Navarre of the democratic party. The very sight of his white plume throws consternation into the ranks of the enemy, and wherever on the field of battle that plume waves, there the democratic hosts gather in confidence and hope.” Isn't Mr. Thacher in error about that plume business? Did not his mind's eye see the silvery waves that com- pose the crest of W. C. P. Breckinridge, or the towering pennon of fretful silk that warns of the approach of Constantine Buckley Kilgore? Senator Hill is well known in Washington by this time—has been a feature at the Capitol for quite a while—but not even those who have ob- served him most closely have seen the plume to which Mr. Thacher refers. It is generally understood that Senator Hill's metaphorically-level head ia bald even to an extreme—it certainly was when he left Washington; but it may be that since his departure for New York he kas fallen into the hands of a hair-restoring firm and been provided with a plume which is guaranteed to throw consternation “into the ranks of the enemy.” If Mr. Thacher knows what he is talking about, then the much vaunted enterprise of New Yor newspapers does not exist, for every picture of the Senator published during the past week represents him as being plumeless. +e The foot ball season is a relief, in spite of the dangers which attend it. While the young gentlemen who play the game may precipitate a great deal of riotous confusion and do one another some injury, it will be remembered that they never stop trains or burn freight cars. Chicago should give Mayor Hopkins his due. He has at least done nothing to pre- vent the gamblers from quitting business if they felt like it. ————_+4o— If, from the silence of Gov.

As the date for the fall elections draws near interest increases in nolitics. The event of greatest general interest during the past week was the holding of the New York democratic convention. Before the convention was held the name of John Boyd Thacher was most mentioned. On the eve of the convention a boom set in for ex-Secretary Wm. C. Whitney. The ad- journment of the convention from Tuesday until after Mr. Whitney was expected to arrive from Europe on Wednesday looked as if it were done to await his decision be- fore making up the ticket. When the dele- gates were informed that he positively re- fused to have his rame considered, the tide suddenly set toward Senator Hill, who was chairman cf the conventicn. He rcfused to be a candidate, but the corvention gut be- yond his control and he was rominated by acclamation. Two of the leading candi- dates for the nomination, Congressman Lockwood and Judge Gaynor, were put on the ticket with him. Gov. McKinley opened the republican campatgn in Ohio with a de- fense of his tariff bill at Findlay, before a large gathering. The Nebraska democratic Omaha split on the silver ‘bia, 8. C., adjourned without nominating a ticket. Capt. Howgate, form- erly of the weather bureau, who escaped from. the authorities in this city in 1582, was captured in New York. He was under Indictment ing ri mocked out Dan Creedon in a fight for the middle weight championship at New Orleans. Fitzsim- mons immediately challenged Corbett, but the latter regards the challenge with dis- dain; says Fitzsimmons is not in his class. The battleship Maine made a successful trial trip. Directum defeated Arion and Nelson in a race for $15,000 at Boston. Prof. Shortlidge of Media, Pa., who killed his young wife while insane, was acquitted of murder. The naming of Appomattox Court House, Va., “Surrender,” by the Post Office Department, has stirred up consider- able feeling in Virginia. Gen. Ezeta of San Salvador was released at San Fran- cisco and started for Mexico, it is claimed, to indulge in fresh plotting. A tornado swept up the coast, doing $1,000,000 damage in Florida. Meany sugar refineries were closed. Foreign, The ministry of Victoria, Australia, has resigned, in consequence of recent defeat in the elections. A Japanese army of 30,000 has sailed from Japan, it is said, to take part in an advance on Pekin. Japanese success in the Chinese province of Man- churia is reported. Distributors of leaflets advocating universal suffrage were seized in Vienna. Gen. Egusquiza was elected president of Uruguay. The French legis- lative chambers have been convoked for Octuber 23. The Irish National League of Great Britain returned the contributions to the parliamentary fund, claiming that they were obtained without authority. The London chamber of commerce dined Con- gressman W. L. Wilson, who described the probable effect of the new tariff. In the District. Street railroad matters have been locally Prominent during the past few days, for the District Commissioners have issued an order requiring the various companies whose cars are operated mechanically to make tests of street-car fenders; the Me- tropolitan Company hes practically com- menced operations to equip its 9th street line with a modified form of the Buda- Pesth underground system; the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Company has elected David Newbold of Baltimore president in place of Mr. Munnickhuysen, resigned. The only political event of note was the with- drawal of H. C. C. Astwood, chairman of the executive committee of the Negro Na- tional Democratic League, from the demo- cratic party; Mr. Astwood is once more a republican. Some of Washington's arctic explorers are home again. Mrs, Peary and members of the Peary party returned in safety, and so did Mr. Walter Wellman and those who accompanied him on his daring but unsuccessful “dash to the pole.” The Methodist Episcopal pastors of the Washington district held a very profitable three days’ convention at Kensington, Md. A local Chautauqua Union has been formed, with W. R. Woodward as president. A good deal of interest in an old story was stirred up by the arrest of Henry W. How- gate, who some twelve years ago escaped from an officer in this city, while under in- dictment for the embezzlement of funds in his hands as disbursing officer of the signal service; Howgate was captured in New York, soe SHOOTING STARS.

The Palais Royal “Opening.” Monday, October 1. - The Palais Royal proprietor and his staff of thirty “buyers’ _invite criticism of the 1894-’95 Autumn-Winter Gathering. To properly invest nearly a half million of dollars in Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Housefurnishings probably means an expenditure of more skill, time and thought than necessary to use in any other legitimate venture. Itis therefore hoped that the magnitude and importance of the “Opening” of this vast collection will be duly recognized. Since the public is affected financially and otherwise by the merits or demerits of its store service, it would seem that all those who can con- veniently attend this ‘‘opening’’ should do so. Criticism is invited. We ask praise when deserved and rebuke when needed. Both will prove profitable to us. The “Opening” Souvenirs. An explanation is needed when it is written that the Souvenirs of this - occasion will cost over $6,000. Here it is: The mew season’s goods are offered as souvenirs at the wholesale prices during the ““Opening’’ week. Assuming the daily sales to be only $5,000 and 20 per cent the average profit, and you'll find $6,000 to be the cost of the souvenirs—the week’s sales at wholesale prices.
