THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DEQEMBER 28, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. ——— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY.............December 28, 1894. > CROSBY S. NOYES.. niaseii THE EVENING STAR hasa regular ana permanent circulation much more vham the combined circulation of the othee Was! dailies. Asa «++. Editer. THE STAK should not be to any individual connected with the oitice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or meats, necording to tenor or purpose. Prominent men are not uncommon at the national capital; in fact, there are but few days in the year when Washington has not within tts boundaries a greater number of really distinguished personages than any other city in the country. These remarka- ble people are of many kinds and some of them are noteworthy in the most broadly international sense, but it may be seriously questioned whether any of them have to any extent outranked him who is expected to arrive this evening—John Burns, the English labor leader. Men may differ with John Burns as to the methods by which the millions who toll with their hands may be uplifted, but not even the most critical can honestly doubt the straightforward sincerity of him who, from the smallest of beginnings and over obsta- eles calculated to daunt anything less than superhuman energy, has achieved distinc- tion of the most solid sort. There have been, and still are, labor leaders in whom even those who followed them had no con- fidence, and students of industrial condi- tions are more than inclined to the belief that the distrust has good reason for ex- istence, but It has never been charged that John Burns had any object other than the uplifting of the wage-earner. That he is, more or less, unpopular with certain classes has long been evident, but that the un- popularity is founded upon anything more substantia! than the dislike of some of the varieties of capitalist to sensibly-organized labor has never appeared. Occasionally Mr. Burns has given expression to views that seem rather startling, but the thought- ful people who realize how rapidly our social structure is being changed have not as yet had occasion to charge Burns with being a dreamer. The story of his career shows him to be an intensely practical man, not given to the seeing of visions, and although some of the theories he ad- vances are considerably ahead of our time, “while others arc of the improbable kind, the general average would show John Burns to be a man of forceful ability and by no means the dangerous character some unfair people have endeavored to depict him. Some of the things Mr. Burns has said since he arrtved in this country sound strangely to American ears and some of them had better have been left unsaid until there was more of intimate acquaint- ance with American institutions. We dis- like criticism and are much too ready to resent it, but when everything Is weighed up it will be seen that there has been said very little to which reasonable Americans can or will take exception. —__~ +> —___ The refusal of the Sultan of Turkey to permit independent investigation of the Armenian horrors by a representative ct the United States is more damaging to the ‘Turkish side of the story than the investi- gation itself would have been. Strangely enough the ection of the Porte is com- mended by Mr. Oscar Straus, who, during President Cleveland's first administration, represented this naticn at Constantinople. Mr. Straus advocates a suspension of th» popular verdict until the report of che com- mission that has been fixed up by some of the European powers is made public. Mr. Straus seems to be satisfied that “if out- zages have been committed they have not been done with the knowledge or approba- tion of the sultan.” He further states that the sultan “sincerely desires peace and quietude, and the inhuman deeds that have been attributed to his people, if true, must be a source of the greatest distress to him.” But if the sultan is so very much concerned and is such a humane, tender- hearted ruler, why does he put an insur- mountable obstacle in the way of investi- gation by a representative of the republic? ‘The remedy for such a condition as appears to exist if-Armenia can neyer be properly epplied until the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is fully made known. ‘To the average American it appears as though the commission which goes forth with the sultan’s power behind it, is al- ready provided with an ample supply of whitewash and the brushes with which to apply the opaque fluid. _-— 6 —___ Governor O’Ferrall of Virginia may be much annoyed at having his attention called so often to the improprieties which are so conspicuous Im that portion of the state which closely adjoins this city, but in view of the fact that all of official activity seems to be favorable to the law breaker and the inhumane, it is necessary to stir matters up with a good deal of*frequency. Every decent man and woman here and elsewhere has an especial grievance just now against those who are responsible for the winter racing which is a daily occur- rence at the Alexander*Island track. Wed- nesday the races were run in spite of the fact that snow was falling so heavily as to becloud the timer’s flags; yesterday they would have been run but for the fact that somebody neglected to salt the track and kecp the harrows at work; today the “sates” will be slid around by shivering Jeckeys—jockeys in gloves and mufflers. Of course it is understood that the racing at Alexander Island is in no sense intended to develop the noble animal who has so properly been termed “man’s best friend;” it is simply an excuse for gambling; a con- centration of the pool rooms, in touch with the other tracks in this country where racing is carried on no matter what the weather may be. It is possible that Vir- ginia likes the reputation which Alexander Island and Jackson City are building up for it; the authorities had better take action quite speedily or there will be general and well-founded belief in the decadence of Vir- ginia. —- «= Mr. Foster will serve China entirely in & private capacity, and it is hoped that the emperor will not, in one of his character- istic fits of displeasure, deprive him of the decoration of the salmon-pink salary envelope. ——-__+e-+ - If Governor Pennoyer feels it incumbent on him to send the President greetings of the New Year, he will have had compara- tively little time for holiday recreation. soe It was announced yesterday that the New Orleans authorities had released from cus- tody the prize-fighter Lavigne, who for some time has been under arrest charged with the killing of Andy Bowen, another prize-fighter. The circumstances attendant upon the death of Bowen have tgen fully described In the newspapers, and it was naturally imagined by the great majority of those who read of the affair that the law would hold Lavigne to accountability for what was undoubtedly his act. The de- ton reached by those who control euch matters in New Orleans is that Bowen met his death by concussion of the brain, pro- duced by collision between his head and the unpadded floor of the ring. If that ta the way the law is operated in the Crescent City it is not to be wondered at that lynch- ing parties are features of life in Loutsiana, for a more absurd ruling could hardly be imagined. Suppose, instead of Lavigne's striking Bowen on the chin and knocking him against the unpadded floor, he had hit Bowen on the back of the head with a piece of board. Is it Hkely he would have been released? If in a street fight a man were knocked down and had his head| fatally stashed by forcible contact with a hard sidewalk, would the offense be dimin- ished—would it have less of the character- istics of manslaughter—if counsel for the defense should argue that concussion of the brain would have been impossible had the knockdown blow been delivered while the combatants were wrestling in a mud-hole or on a pile of sawdust? If the decision in the Lavigne case is an exhibit of New Or- leans law, then that remarkable something at once takes rank with the “crowners- quest law,” at which Shakespeare poked so much ridicule. —— ++] ‘The official records of the post office building show that there were twenty-four men at work on the construction yester- day. As a matter of fact there was uvt a stroke of work done in the progression of the walls. These two dozen men were mainly, according to the official statement, drivers of the wagons engaged in hauling the stone from the wharves, and the “toters” on the site, whose duty it is to unload these wagons. On the same line of reasoning the crews of the vessels bringing the stone from Maine, the crews also of the trains bringing the iron from Pitts- burg and Indianapolis ought to be counted; the conductors, drivers and gripmen of the street-cars transporting the working men to the site each morning should aiso be included. But accepting this untrustworthy return as the Lasis of computation, the building would be finished, with twenty- four men working steadily, by about Janu- ary 16, 1905, according to The Star's old calculation, , ——> ¢ -__ Dr. Zacharin, the eccentric Russian phy- sician who attended the late czar during his last illness, is being sympathized with because it is understood that the present Czar Nicholas—displeased at the manner in which Dr, Zacharin treated his father—has suggested that in future the doctor con- fine his practice entirely to Siberia. The story may or may not be true. If it is true there will probably be a good deal of con- demnation very properly outpoured upon the Czar, but it does not by any means fol- low that Siberta is an entirely disagreeable place as a permanent residence. Some parts of it have remarkable attractiveness and pcsses3 climatic advantages not gen- erally recognized. Good society, too, is as- sured, even in the region where live those who because of political and other offenses have teen condemned to the seclusion, of penal settlements. Some of the best peo- ple in the Russian empire have their homes in Siberia, —__++-+____ Two hundred and seventy thousand men, women and children is perhaps a little smaller showing for the District of Colum- bia than was expected by estimators just prior to the taking of the police census, but there is nothing in the figures to complain of. The pleasing fact is evident that there has been steady growth—an upward “move- ment in which there is every appearance of healthfulness and stability. When con- sideration is given the conditions existing here it is really remarkable that the growth has been so considerable. Without any of the booming or speculative inducements that invite a populative influx, Washington has succeeded in attracting to itself, and without effort, a large number of extremely desirable residents. No other city in the country has done so well merely upon its own merits. ——__ ++ ___. It would not be at all surprising if An- thony Comstock were of the opinion that some of the exposures in the Lexow inves- tigation should be suppressed. see —— The weather experts have not as yet in- dicated how much of the cold wave was due to the Croker-Cockran chilliness. wee The King of Korea isn’t worried about public affairs even enough to provide him- self with a new sentry box. + «= Dr. Parkhurst does not propose to have a dash of whitewash in the Tammany trimmings if he can help it. ed Li Hung Chang has not yet entered a protest against ex-Secretary Foster's out- side interference. soe SHOOTING STARS. A New Year's Thought. “Anew,” they heard a statesman say, “This life I shall begin. Alas, why did I not swear off Before I was sworn in!” Double Entendre. “Will you remain awake to see the new year in?” asked Mr. Stalate. The yourg woman looked very thought- ful and replied: “I undoubtedly shall if you happen to call the evening before.” And he hasn't yet made up his .mind whether it was a compliment or a snub. A Perpetual Misi “There's no telling about this climate,” said the small boy, regretfully; “no telling a thing. Most winters it snows right up to Christmas; then you get a sled, and the next day it thaws.” “That's so,” replied his companion. “This winter it was different. It kept thawin’ right up to Christmas. Then you didn’t get any sled, and the next day it snowed.” A Baseball Recollection. All icy are the bleaching boards Where once they played basebail; And yet the “ffost’ seems not much worse Than that which came last fall. Work. “Pop,” said Farmer Corntossel’s son, “here's a tramp at the back door says he wants work.” “Wants work!” “That's what he says.” “Well, give ‘im one o° them mince pies thet wus baked fur Christmas, and tell ‘im ter eat it.” Right in Line. Some boys had put up a snow fort and were throwing the frigid missiles with a great deal of enthusiasm. The elderly man with a young heart happened to be pass- ing, and he paused to enjoy the scene. “That's it,” he said to a lad who hap- pened to pass near him with an armful of snowballs. “I lke to see the youngsters enjoy themselves. That's just the thing— a good old-time snow fort.” ‘There was patronage in the tone of the boy as he said: “Mister, didn’t you ever read about how Napoleon once had a snow fight?” “Why-er-yes; of course. “Well, this ain’t no old-time snow fort. This is a Napoleon fad, this is.” + e+ ____ Comfort for Bourke Céckran. From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
