THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. .......,November 29, 1894. CROSBY 8. NOYES. - Editor. eae a SaaS e eR THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent circulation much more than (he combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium 1t has no competitor. 7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- Tt is the Gillani habit to pay but Uittle heed to the saprmann krypt the President and the members of his cabinet. ‘This is the practice even when the legisla- tive and executive branches of the govern- ment are politically harmonious, and while there may sometimes have been wisdom in the ignoring of executive ideas the chances are that the country would have been much better off had Congress taken the advice tendered it by men who, in the ma- jority of cases, had a reasonable compre- hension of the subjects they discussed. ‘What the approaching session of Congress will do with the recommendations of Sec- retary Herbert of the navy, has not yet been foreshadowed, but there is solid rea- son for hoping that the Secretary’s recom- mendations as to a steady increase in our raval foree will receive favorable consid- eration at an early day and be crystalized into appropriative law before the Fifty- third Congress comes to an end. Several notable additions will be made to our float- ing defenses within a year or so, but un- less authority is given and money provided for the construction of additional ships of war, we shall fall considerably short of having the navy that really ought to be ours. The first class battle-ships, Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon are approaching completion, especially the three latter; the second class battleships Maine and Texas will probably be tn serv- fee before the summer is over; the pro- tected cruiser Olympia is about ready, while the armored cruiser Brooklyn should be in condition for commissioning within a year or so; the double-turreted monitors Puritan, Monadnock, Terror and Amphi- trite are all being steadily pushed toward completion, while the armored ram Katah- din will surely be afloat within six months. ‘This is a good showing, but it must be re- membered that the greater portion of the work that is now being done upon the vessels named is finishing in its character —that when “these ships are commissioned there will, unless Congress does what the Secretary and the country want It to do, be an untimely cessation in the matter of construction. Secretary Herbert's argu- ment in behaif of additional ships is one that will doubtless appeal to every thought- ful citizen who has the national interests truly at heart. Says Mr. Herbert: “Without considering the effect of the cessation of this work on industrial condi- tions, and disclaiming all obligation of the government to engage in public works for the sole purpose of giving employment to any class, however deserving, I respect- fully urge that from the standpoint o! tional defense it will be unwise to stop en- tirely the work of naval upbuilding; that wisdom and experience demand that the Present well organized, highly trained and exceedingly efficient body of mechanics and skilled laborers engaged in the work of naval ship building shall not, at least, be entirely disbanded. With the stoppage of this work many large plants now at work for the navy will have shut down either completely or in part, and their corps of skilled workmen employed in the various phases of naval construction and develop- ment be discharged and scattered, while the plant and machinery for the produc- tion of vessels of war must of necessity become idle and be allow®d to deteriorate.” The necessity for battle-ships has been made plain again and again; history has shown their value, and in the school of bitter experience nations have learned les- sons that the United States should take ad- vantage of. In his report last year, the Secretary sketched some of the more im- portant chapters of latter-day naval his- tory, and contended with unassailable logic for more battle-ships and torpedo boats. This year he recommends that Congress authorize the construction of three battle- ships of about ten thousand tons displace- ment each, to cost, exclusive of armament, mot exceeding $4,000,000 each, and twelve torpedo boats of from one hundred to three hundred tons each, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy, to cost not exceeding an average of $170,000. —— + 0 Of the many improper and oppressive combinations of capital with which this Ration ts afflicted none is in worse odor Just now than the sugar trust. Admittedly guilty of offenses odious in the sight of all honest men, the sugar trust now seeks to add to its profits by heartlessly throwing out of employment a large number of people, for by the decrease in production will come an increase in the price of sugar. The shutting down of the in New York, Boston and Philadelphia means a cheerless winter for quite two hundred and fifty thousand people; for the number of persons employed in the establishments in Question is not less than fifty thousand. It is not improbable that the trust has taken this inhuman way of arguing with Congress as to what the trust believes would be the folly of agitation favorable to free sugar. ‘There has of late been a great awakening as to trusts, and while the day is not yet here in which legislation of the most rabid anti-combination sort is to materialize, that day is nevertheless not very far dis- tant, and such cruelty as is being practiced by the sugar trust will materially hasten its coming. ————— ‘There is much to be thankful for on this day on the part of the citizens of Wash- ington. In the first place, they should be glad for the beautiful day. Then they ought to appreciate the fact that the taxes are no higher. Next they are sure to be gleeful over the fact that the small-pox epidemic {s over and that the patients are happily convalescent. But most of all they should be thankful that the city post office building has reached an altitude where it can be seen above the fence. That does not signify so very much, to be sure, but it is something. This being a legal holiday there was no work done on the site today. Perhaps this was fortunate, for it gives the men, who have been laboring at a frantic pace for the past elght weeks, a chance to rest. Too much work is not good for the race. If the law had not stepped in to furnish a check on the over-eager tendencies of the’ workmen on this remark- blo pile there might have been an epi- demic of apoplexy to succeed the small- pox. oe - —___ Indefinitely and through sources not en- tirely satisfactory to those who seck after the plain truth, there have for some time past come to this country rumors as to the treatment accorded the two Japanese stu- dents who, in response to China’s demand, were surrendered to the Chinese author- ities by the United States; it being alleged by China that the students were spies. Information from Japan as to this case has generally been to the effect that as soon as the prisoners were turned over to the Chinese they were horribly maltreated; the Chinese insisted that they were being admirably cared for. As appears to be the custom, the Japanese were the truth- ful ones, for now the whole story and the shame of our government is spread before the world. Elsewhere in today’s issue of The Star will be found a reprint of Julian Ralph's letter to Harper’s Weekly. Mr. Ralph, who is one of the most relinble of correspondents, ts at Shanghai. In his | thorough way he investigated that which turns out to be a most disgraceful pro- ceeding on the part of whoever may be responsible for the action of the State De- partment. The helpless prisoners were tortured most horribly before execution in spite of the fact that the Chinese au- thorities gave many assurances of kindly treatment; and with these assurances our consul-general was compelled io be content. It was a blunder to order the surrender of the two unfortunate and probably in- nocent men. The question now is: Will the other possible blunder—that of failing to hold China responsible for the broken pledges made prior to the surrender—also become a matter of record? —___ +e - ——__ While it is ufidoubtedly true that this country has less to be thankful for than it usually has at this season of the year there yet remains the consolation that things might have been very much worse than they have been or are. If there is general indulgence in philosophical reflec- tion of that sort, the day will be one of Pleasure to a very Jarge proportion of the seventy millions of people who know of and appreciate its annual recurrence. The number of those who will find it difficult te be exuberantly glad is considerable, but that fact should arouse charitable posses- sors of more than they actually require to hospitable activity more marked and broader than ever before. In his Thanks- giving cron pam President Cleveland said: “And tn ae of worship and praise, as well as in the happy reunions of kin- dred and friends, on that day, let us invoke divine approval by generously remember- ing w poor and needy. Surely He who has given us comfort and plenty will look upon our relief of the destitute and our ministrations of charity as the work of hearts truly grateful and as Proofs of the sincerity of our thanksgiving.’ The happiest people in the country to- night will be those who have followed the President's advice. —. - ++ ____ Possibly some of the gentlemen who were so fortunate as to make large sums of money in sugar speculation, either by ad- vice or on their own judgment, will feel moved to start a subscription for assist- ance of the discharged sugar-refinery em- ployes. +++ —__ The fact that Champ Clark was defeated by a singing teacher may be a suggestion to Congress that the public is tired of comedy and melodrama and would like a little music for a change. —__ + e-» It is a scientific fact that the gout dos not under any circumstances improve a man’s temper.

SHOOTING STARS. “De gret beauty "bout Thanksgibin,” said Uncle Eben, “is dat ef yoh wants ter you kin take it outen de almanack an’ keep it in yoh heah’ts de hull y’ah roun’.” The Fatr Enthusiast. “I trust you are interested in municipal reform,” said the woman of serious ideas. “Oh, yes indeed,” replied the New York girl; “I couldn't help being. It’s such a fad nowadays, you know.” Thanksgiving. Perhaps for jewels, ‘pomp and worldly place Or only for a smile from some dear face, Our thanks arise; howe’er our lots may fall, Love points the way to gratitude for all. “Clothes don’t compensate for every- thing,” said the surviving hen turkey; “I wouldn’t be in that gobbler’s place for all his lovely chestnut dressing.” Styles. “Full sleeves are still very popular,” said thé girl who was designing a new dress. “Yes,” replied the girl who enjoys foot- ball; “but not as popular as full backs.” Reasons. Let us be thankful because: The American eagle is still boss of the menagerie; The next session of Congress is a short one; The new post office isn’t any smaller; The industrial revival is big enough to give even the statesman-vut-of-a-job work if he wants it; Custom doesn’t put a theater hat be-. tween a hungry man and his turkey; It’s Thanksgiving day instead of the first Monday in December; People don’t have to enlist in a foot-ball team unless they want to. —__ + es __—_ A Sociological Nightmare. From the Detroft Free Press. Yhe appearance in Detroit of 2 woman tramp is calculated to alarm the com- munity. Of course, it may be @ mere spora- dic instance of feminine trampism; but on the other hand, it may be an Indication of a coming change and of the addition to the army of male tramps of a new army which will be even more difficult to contend with. If the latter supposition is correct the sit- uation {s indeed fraught with danger, not to say terror. For it is a very mild way of stating the proposition to say that the fem- inine tramp will be more difficnlt to deal with than her brother of the scarecrow ap- parel and roscate nose. The fear ig that she will prove impossible to deal witb, and that the community may have to surrender at discretion. —__++____ ‘The Deadly Trolley. From the New York Sun. ‘A man was run over and killed at dusk last evening by car 135 of the Seventh avenue trolley line at the corner of Jorale- mon and Furman streets, Brooklyn. The cars are not provided with safety fenders, but a wooden ber runs across in front of the wheels. ‘his bar passed over the man. Both his arms and both his legs were cut off. Mrs. Mary Emerson, aged sixty-five years, who was struck by a trolley car in Brooklyn on Tuesday night, died last even- ing of her injuries in St. Mary's Hospital. ———__ +++ —___-_ A Sugar Query.
