4 . THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. THE ‘EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. —— = —= - THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more whan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 71m order to avoid @elays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to ‘THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the ice, but at simahe to THE STAM, or to bree rt er Business Depart- mefits, aceeneee to tenor or purpose. In & quiet way the people of Washing- tom who have more than they actually need to supply their daily Wants have done well im caring for their less fortunate fellow- beings during the long period. of depres- sion which, affecting the whole country, has been severely felt in the District of Columbia. But what has been done is in the past, ard today this community stands face.to. face with the ghastly fact that in this freezing weather there are resident at the national capital thousands of people who lack even the cheapest of the neces- saries of life. But little of this poverty is apparent on the streets, for the great ma- jority of the sufferers must perforce re- main indoors and there, unless help is speedily sent them, many will undoubtedly perish. That the well-to-do of Washing- ton’s population will permit continuation of this most unfortunate state of affairs not at all likely now that their atten- has been directed to it. There will doubtiess be prompt contribution of money and food and fuel and clothing— so great as to-make it certam that physi- cal suffering, will be reduced to a mini- mum—as soon as the good pevpie of the District of Columbia realize the situa- tion; which is, it may be said, much worse now than it has beer at any time for ten years past. It used,to,be that the ma- jority of those who needed assistance were of the class that has never known anything but poverty, but industrial con- ditions cf late have forced into the ranks of the hungry and cold a large number of people who until recently knew nothing whatever of the miseries that are conse- quent upon lack of employment and ab- sence of any substantial support. Unfor- tunates of this sort do not parade their woes; they bear the pangs of starvation in silence and make useless endeavor to preserve an appearance of cheerfulness wholly out of accord with their distressing circumstances.” The charitable instituyons of this city afe utterly unable to meet the exigency presented; the police fund has been disbursed; the Associated Charities and the Central Union Mission peopie, more than willing as they are, must soon fail to reiieve a tithe of the suffering they are brought in contact with every hour; the funds of the Evening Star Santa Claus Club have practically been distributed. It will therefore be seen that an emergency exists which calls for prompt and hberal action. This is no time to sit down in warm apartments and discuss what may or may not be done next week or next moxth. The time to give is now! The Star is willing to receive and acknowledge Such contributions as the charitably-inctined may make; more than this The Star will See to it that the material entrusted to its care is distributed as expeditiously and as equitably as possible. in this matter and @t this tume procrastination ts cruelty, for while the possessors of siow-moving good intentions promise themselves that tomor- row or Monday or sometime next week they will subscribe something, the stom- acts 6f the nesdy are painfully empty and * their bodies shriveied by the worse than freezing temperature. The moment for action is now! —_~0=__ Taken altogether, it is safe to say that the exposures made by the Lexow investi- gating committee in New York are the most disgraceful and discouraging that the whole history of municipal corruption can show. Where all is bad, and much of it very bad, as appears to be the case with the pelice department of that city, it is a little difficult to indicate exact degrees of turpitude and criminality; but, juaged by his own testimony alone, Inspector Will- jams must be regarded as about the very worst of the lot. in short, it begins to look 8s though the biggest rascals on the force Were promoted to the highest places, and that increased capacity for usefuluess was exercised wholiy in squeezing and protect- ing criminals, instead of bringing them to punishment. The low temperature that prevailed in Convention Hail last evening and the dis- comfort and possible injury to health which the large audience assembled to en- Joy the Choral Society's rendition of the “Messiah” endured and were exposed to, _ Presents condition of affairs that ought to receive prompt attention, Whatever the cause, and wherever the responsibility Hes, the remedy should be applied without de- lay. It is an outrage to compel delicate women in evening dress to pass through such an ordeal as the members of the chorus as weil as those in the audience experienced last evening. ee Senator Cameron has assumed a grave refponsibility in declaring that there shall be no new government printing office “nless the site in which he and Gen. Mahone are interested is purchased. Suppose that the always threatened collapse of the rickety old building now occupied should occur, and @ number of the 2,000 employes caged there- in were killed; would not Senator Cameron be chargeable with their death? A Wash- ington jury would be very apt to say he was. The senator should reflect upon this matter. —— + --____ Nerway has been struggling for over forty years with the liquor problem, and the record of this course cannot but be cf great interest to Americans who believe that there is yet room for improvement in the system of liquor selling in vegue in this country. The effect of the latest law enacted in| Norway will be watched closely on this side of the water. It was placed on the statute books of the nation had time to demonstrate its effectiveness. It is the continuation of a policy of deal- ing with the question that has been more or less in force for four decades. The first object of the movement was to décrease the consumption of ‘lquor. Subsequently came the secondary object of making the @rink traffic iess profitable and therefore less attractive to deaters.” By a national statute in 1871 towns and cities were given the right to grant monopolies of the retail trade to companies tnat pledged them- selves to conduct the business in the in- terests of temperance. The great prob- lem, of course, was the oft-repeated cry of “vested rights.” Fortunately for the successful trial of the experiment, the privileges of private dealers had never been regarded as such, and thus the move- ment was not met with that formidable opposition that always confronts such ef- forts, coming from the moneyed interests of the liquor men. But this law w de- fective in that it permitted the distillers and merchants to conduct a pernicious wholesale traffic, which was untaxed. Un- @er these conditions the new law of 1804 has been passed. Details of it are con- tained in the January number of the An- pals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. It regulates the whole- gale traffic, making the wholesale limit two huridred and fifty liters, and enforces the monopolies granted to the companies. But the most important provision is that which provides for locat option, so secured, however, as not to allow action to be hastily taken by the people. This’ option 4s placed in the hands of all taxpayers of twenty-five years of age and upward, male and female alike. They vote upon the question of establishing a company, which is given a greater control of the traffic in the locality than under the old law. The Proceeds of the sale of lMquer by these companies was formérly taken wholly by the state and expended an objects of pub- lic utility. This method, as is pointed out in the magazine referred to, involved a temptation to increase the sales that the communities might be benefited by larger expenditures. Under the new law the -om- panies are” allowed to retain twenty per cent of the net profits, to be expended for total abstinence societies and other philan- thropic institutions; fifteen per cent goes to the municipality in lieu of the former tax on consumption, and the remaining sixty- five per cent is placed in the state treasury to constitute a fund for the insurance of working people and aged persons. Thus there is no individual profit. There is no mention made of dividends, and it must be assumed from this division of the “net earnings” that the company is composed wholly of persons who are striving for the eradication of the traffic. This meas- ure pauses half-way between individual control and socialism. The saloon is man- aged not by the state, yet the state makes it possible that the saloon shall be man- aged by its adversaries. It is estimated that under the new law the consumption of distilled spirits will fall off twenty per cent. Sweden and Finland have both been struggling with this problem for many years, but it would appear that Norway has taken thé lead of these nations in de- vising at Jeast a unique system, which the future may demonstrate to be successful. —— +02 Philadelphia has been awakened by the recent storm to a realization of the fact that there is danger in overhead wires. Many of these electric conductors were blown down by the wind or weighted down by the ice accumulating upon them, and many serious accidents have occurred within the past few days. It usually requires such visitations as this to convince cer- tain people that institutions that common sense teaches to be dangerous are actyally @ menace to human life and safety. With characteristic impudence the trolley peo- ple of Philadelphia are loud in their asser- tions at this time that the danger is all in the overhead light, telephone and tele- graph wires, and not in their own. They contend that there is more danger from these other wires falling on their own and so making connections that give out the deadiy current to men and horses round about, than from their own wires, and they give as a reason the fact that they have an amazingly strong construction, and in- stance several occasions when heavy weights have fallen on their wires and the iatter have sustained the shock. This is all nonsense. Any current of electricity, whether of high or low potentiality, is dan- serous when conducted through a wire suspended in the air, liable to be broken and lowered by the wind or the weight of ice or by the ordinary accidents of the streets. More especially is the trolley wire dangerous, for by their own statement the advocates of this system admit that it is through their wires that the other wires receive their deadly currents. Put all wires underground, for both winter and sumimer. Let there be no discrimmation, Save the appearance of the streets and the lives of the people. 0 If it bab come nothing else, the examina- tion of Inspector Williams has brought forth valuable material for the Folk Lore Society. it is the inspector Who enlightens tne world on the reason for calling by that name the district known as “the tender- join” He explains that the christening oc- curred when he was moved from a less de- sirable quarter to that gilded region, and he faceuously remarked that he was going to jeave the rump steak and have some of the tenderloin, The inspector deserves to be remembered as a bobby who handles a metaphor, a club and a financial investment ali with the easy grace that many attain ouly through long experience.

Fancy the new republic under the protection of a British ship! ee ___ Senator Cumeron’ Wash. Cor. Phila. Press. General Mahone of Virginia and Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania are jointly inter- ested in a site for the new government printing office, which they have been trying to foist on the government at a sum a hundred thousand dollars in excess of what a better site can be secured for. Because of their inability to secure the passage of an act to purchase their site, they have, through the influence of Mr. Cameron and Mr. Quay, prevented the passage of a bill to purchase any other site. As a result the rotten old structure, which has been denounced by every public printer who ever occupied it, and by unani- mous congressional committees, remains in use. There is not a soul in Washington who does not admit the pressing need of a new printing office. But Mr. Cameron stands in the way by asserting that the government must take the site in which he is interested or else the 2,000 employes in the printing office can continue daily to take their lives in their hands when they enter that structure, as no bill shall go through excepting for the purchase of the Mahone site. that the THE WEEK. The announcement that it was to be the closing of the Lexow committee investiga- tion in New York gave the sessions of the past week general interest.

The com- missioners of Brooks county, Georgia, is- sued a statement saying all the trouble there was caused by about twenty-five white men, only about four of whom lived in the county. The statement says, there has been no race riot. In New York Sam- uel C. Seely, the defaulting bookkeeper, was sentenced to the penitentiary for eight years. In the sixth Virginia coxgredsional district Col. J. Hampton Hoge, republican, has served notice of contest on Col. Peter J. Otey, democratic Representative-elect. Gov. Mitchell of Florida honored the requt- sition of Gov. Hogg of Texas for Henry M.

The czer reduced the num- ber of police charged with the duty of protecting his person, but he has not abol- ished the secret police, as rumor had it he intended to do. A bill to make treason punishable with death in time of peace passed the French chainber of deputies af- tera heated debate. The pope received the officers of the cruiser Detroit, which re- cently arrived at Naples with the Vatican relics, made a speech to them and gave them his blessing. The Corean government has decidd to borrow five million yen from the Japanese government. The Japanese parliament was opened.
