THE EVENING STAM basa regul a permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium 1t has no competitor. 7 In order to avoid delay ~ count of personal absence, ‘There is a powerful argument contained fm the indorsement of Major Moore upon the request of certain citizens who asked that members of the police force be al- lowed to sell tickets for the benefit of the police fund. He gives his consent, which is approved by the Commissioners, and concludes with these simple but signifi- cant words: “Congress having failed to make any provision for the relief of re- tired policemen, widows and orphans.” ‘This is a_matter (hat should be taken up without delay by the committees of Con- gress having to do with local affairs. The policemen themselves do all they can to reinforce the fund, which, being small, is in constant danger of depletion. But their pay is meager and they cannot afford to give much from their incomes to provide thus for the future. They are willing, as * are the firemen, that If their pay be raised @ certain portion or all of the increase be set apart by law for the benefit of the tund. It is probably the best proposition that can be made. The present plan is to supply this fund from the jines that are imposed upon policemen who fall in dis- grace. This is a most precarious method of sustaining so important a resource. It is a disgrace that for a long thne the offi cers on the retired list have been without pay, owing to the fact that the principal of the fund has been exhausted. Police- men are entitled to the privilexe of retire- ment after long and honorable service quite as much as are officers of the army and navy, and perhaps more so. They are subject to constant danger, and their Ives are at stake every hour they are on active duty. It is to the interest of the commun- ity that they should be cared for and that the pension fund should not be allowed to vanish. It is a pitiful comment on the state of affairs that practically the only means of repleninshing the fund is by these entertainments, with their small re- turns. Congress will find It profitable to be charitable in this direction. — wee The New York Sun 1s troubled. Many disagreeable things can and do happen without disturbing the great journalistic luminary, but when preachers forsake doc- trine to warn their congregations against the everyday devil—particularly that Tam- many devil—The Sun loses patience. it says: Now mmunity is infested with a good rical bores. Some of them preach about ever: ting religion. Neither in manne: do these loose- tongued the twelve orig the Apostle to the ¢ k It is too bad that should exist, but it is perhaps just as well for The Sun and its political friends that Matthew, Mark, luke et al. are not actively engaged in the work of evangelizing New York City. It will be remembered by those who are familiar with t New Testament that “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon,” “Get thee behind me, Satan,” “For what is a man proiited, if he shall gain the whole wcrid, and lose his own soul,” “It ts more biessed to give than receive,” “For the wages of sin is death, et all things be done decently and in order,” “For the love of money ts the root of ail evil,” and many other utterances applicable to the situation in Gotham under Tammany were hurled at the public ear in the days of the Aposties. ‘The Sun should congratulate ‘Tammany because its most vigorous assall- ant is Dr. Parkhurst. How it would suffer if St. Paul were physically in the fight! soe Much good can be done by such revivals of patriotism as will surely result from the presentation yesterday of a portrait of Washington to the Central High School. The time has probably come for Amert- cans to absorb into their businesslike souls some of the elevating influences of historical memories, and there is now to be obtained a perspective on our own na- tional record that enables us to get a wholesome view of persons and events. Hero-worship has its uses, It stimulates in the breasts of good citizens a feeling of enthusiasm for country and for the men who made this great republic possible. Therefore no opportunity should be ne- glected by such means as those employed yesterday at the High School to stimulate this sentiment in the youthful mind. Pic- tures, statues and good books do wonders in keeping the memortes of the early he- roes of the republic fresh Im the mind of the coming generation, and the examples of these nation-builders will become more and more valuable as time grows apace. The day may come when the nation will need the patriotic spirit thus tnculcated. Such a spigit came nobly to the front in the six and though the ship of state is sailing on placid waters now, there 1s no certainty that there will never again be a storm. ee e forty-seven men employed upon the city p office building this morning. It was once supposed—and upon that decidedly liberal supposition The Star based its estimate—that forty-seven busy and capable artisans could complete the structure by April 1, 1808. Experience, however, has demonstrated the unrelia- bility of mere figures and points to the probability of a new post-oftice ready for business’ on or awhout August 17, 1906. It is two years, nine months and fifteen days since the work was begun, and the second of nine stories is still unfinished. —— President Cleveland's recommendation of a slight increasa in the regular mihtary forces of the country has stirred up criti- cism of a sort that might have been looked There we for from anarchists, but which, coming from sources such, for instance, as the Pittsburg Press, 1s remarkable. The Press calls attention to the presidential propost- tion that the army be strengthened to the full statutory limit of thirty thousand men, an enlarg: rendered adviseable by the increased requirements involved in the proper maintainance of the new sea-coast defenses, as well as by the frequent calls on Federal authority to suppress industrial disorder. The Press say ‘It 1s proper to man the new defenses thoroughly, but {t is a question if the Pre ident is pei in encouraging the menace to labor which might It from making Manufacturing cities Federal military head- quarters.” Perhaps the Press can logically support its contention that the consolidation of federal troops in the great manufacturing cities 19 a menace to labor, but the pr bilities are th done either by the P appointed spokesman for the toiling mil- lions, Some of the worst enemies the work- fngman has are those who are forever en- gaged in attempting to array the muscle of the country against the forces of law nd order, and it is unfortunately the that many of these disturbers hb fachleved more or less of prominence Jabor organizations. Se potent has the sum of the Influence exerted by these mischief makers that several of o 83 or any other self- ase ve in h a thing cannot be | an | Siac cresting, obetructtve, ganized bodies throvgh which the wage- earner seeks to defend himself from dis- honestly aggressive capital have placed themselves on record as unqualifiedly op- posed to the betterment and even to the existence of the National Guard—that semi- civilian force, the backbone of which is pure patriotism, and the value of which is not likely to be overestimated. The Star is as deeply interested in the real welfare of those who earn their bread by the sweat of thelr brows as is any newspaper or in- dividual in the United States; it believes in the man and the woman who work with their hands and their brains, it resents the imputation that the consolidation of fed- eral troops in accordance with the ap- proved plans is a menace to any, save to these who contemplate a serious breach of the peace. That werkingmen as a class have any such obejct in view can safely be denied; has, in faet, continually been denied by workingmen themselves. What- ever lot or part decent wage-earners have had in the preliminary differences of opin- ion that have led up to strikes and lock- outs, with their attendant violence, it may truly be urged that only a minority of the really industrial class has engaged actively in the slaughter and destruction so often consequent upon open strife between cap- ital and labor. A few hot-headed and noisy professional laborers have made just such a claim as is now advanced by the Pitts- burg Press, but their utterances have not been taken seriously; if they were, and if they had the endorsement of the organized labor of the country, then the state of af- fairs in this land would be more than alarming, for it would then be evident that labor was endeavoring to reduce the ef- fectiveness of a force against which it at some time in the near future proposed to hurl itself. And surely that cannot be. —___ +24 —_ How much of real reform is Congress going to give the District this session? There may be a lesson fcr our common council and board of aldermen in the fact that while The Star has no legislative power whatever, it nevertheless succeeded during the congressional recess in. bring- ing about a proper reduction in the price of bread and in sawing several obstructive inches off the crown and brim of the mon- strous theater hat. There is a good deal of uncertainty among the paragraphers of the country as to whether Mr. Lease Is entitled to most sympathy when Mrs. Lease leaves him to do the chores and take caro of things while | she lectures, or when she stays at home. ee eee Senator Hill is quoted as remarking: “Why should I put myself to the trouble of catching fish when the rarket is full of better ones than I could possibly take with a hook?” This certainly sounds lke @ quiet allusion to somebody or other. ———__+-e Sir Arthur Sullivan sprained his ankle while rehearsing an opera.

From the Chic so Evening Journal, In this day of iconoclasts nothing ts too sacred for the unhallowed hand of the crank with a legislation fad. This time the aggressor is a French deputy of the populist cast of mind, and his mis- sion is at the head of a corset crusade. His name is Plagnol, and he comes from the rural districts of the Salles-du-Gardon, He has undertaken to tax the corset out of existence, just as the Peffer contingent in the United States has undertaken to abolish rich men. M. Plagnol is backed, he says, by 500 women and 6,500 of his male constituents. The anti-corset crusade of this Dr. Parkhurst of the boudoir ts not, like our democratio income tax, a measure designed largely also for revenue, but is nt for a death blow aimed at the corset self the world over. For if Paris ceased to wear corsets of course it is plain the rest of the feminine world would, too. ——————— The Senate. m the New York World.
