THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895-TWELVE PAGES — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY . January 10, 1895. .-Editor. CROSBY S. NOYE:! THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delay count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any vidual connected with the efice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editerial or Busin Depart- meis, aecording to tenor or purpose. The United States ought not longer to play the part of dog im the manger in respect to Hawail. 1t should either make a definite movement toward closer political anid commercial relations, with ultimate annexation and the construction of a cable to San Francisco in view, or it should take @ positive step Mm the course which will permit the Islands to pass, commercially at least, under inglish control. The abroga- tion, at the request of the Islands, of a part of our treaty with Hawaii, which would doubtiess be welcomed by American opponents of that treaty as the forerunner of its entire abrogation, and consent to the construction of British cable communica- tion with the islands, would doubtless be construed as a step of the latter variety. But at the same time it would be unjust to the Hawatian republic to prevent the lay- ing of a cable to the English North Ameri- ean possessions if we are to continue to deny hope of a cable to the United States, and to prohibit Hawaiian political intimacy with other nations if we are to continue to Fefuse closer political relations with this country. ‘Yhose Americans who view the Hawaiian islands as already practically Part of the United States would doubtless favor some definite action by Congress which would prevent the grant of the cable lease, if made, from being construed as a surrender to the british interest in Hawaii; and then a decision of the request im respect to the cable upon the considera- tons which would arise if the island of which the tease is sought were legally American soil. ‘those who favor and ex- pect to see accomplished the annexation of Hawaii will vote for nothing which they would not endorse if Hawaii were already annexed, or which will interfere in any way with the project of annexation. The cable proposition will doubtless be sub- mitted by them to these tests. —-—_ ese There has been a remarkable develop- Ment of conscience in connection with the official canvass of the November election vote in Kings county, N. Y. There the work of officially canvassing the vote is done by the county board of supervisors. ‘The law allows the board to occupy twenty- three days in checking off totals, and as the compensation of each supervisor is three dollars per day, with mileage, each member of the board receives $72, although not once in twenty years is there any neces- sity for twenty-three days of legitimate application to the vote-counting business. Very few of the supervisors had more than @ little to do with the count, several of them took no part whatever, but each of them received as recompense an order for #72. One of the absentee supervisors was Harold A. C. Dahl, who was incapacitated by illness, and he not only failed to make application for cash in exchange for his orcer, but has gone to what the practical politicians regard as the extreme of cn- Rouncing that he will not present the check and that it is nothing less than an outrage that the public money should be so loosely handled. Some people may imagine that this is in no sense an extraordinary case, but those who are acquainted with the ways of the world must admit that it pre- sents unusual features. Men who would never dream of sharp practice in dealings with business associates, who pay their debts and who pride themselves upon being scrupulously honest, will not hesitate to take advantage of municipal or general government. Somehow or other there is a sentiment abroad to the effect that there is really no offending in getting the better cf the duly constituted authorities whenever such a thing is possible, but the sophistry evidently does not find a resting place in Mr. Dahl. toe The inhumanity of winter-racing was never more thoroughly exemplified than at the Alexander Island track yesterday. Every intelligent person in this vicinity knows how discomforting the weather was yesterday afternoon, yet the Alexander Island management — which voluntarily pledged itself at the epening of the season to refrain from racing when inclement weather prevailed—insisted upon the regu- lar daily program, With snow and sleet falling so heavily as to render it impossible at times to distinguish one horse from another, the unfortunate animals were forced through slush and mud at the more or less rapid rates of speed regarded as de- sirable by those who have control of such matters. Of course some of the horses fell, but fortunately, or unfortunately, as the case may be—for some of them had bet- ter be dead than live for such purposes as those which demand the sacrifice of every humane instinct—none of them was killed or seriously incapacitated. It cannot be claimed that there exists any necessity other than a financial one for continuation of the cruel practices complained of; the desired end could be reached just as speed- fly and less expensively by formal an- nouncement to the effect that such-and- such a horse would win the next imaginary race and that other horses named would secure places. By adopting that method the bookmakers and those who find great profit in subterranean business partnership with them would save a good deal of horse- flesh and reduce the amount of discomfort Yow suffered by the jockeys. oe Senator Quay’s proposition to make Brown to the country the names of all Who serve great corporations and receive financial recompense for their services ts capable of extension. The Quay idea, as developed by its author in the Senate yes- terday, was that it would be well “instead of smothering the names and salaries of employes in the reports made by corpora- tions under the income-tax law, to com- pel a publication in such form as that the list of names and salaries of such em- ployes shall be accessible to the public. Proceeding to make plain his object, Sen- ator Quay divulged an interesting scrap of inside Pennsylvania political history by saying: “A cireums ice which happened within the last thirty-six hours has called my attention to the probable importance of something of the kind. It happened that a who is very high in political | gentleman position in the city of Philadelphia, no less @ personage than a republican national committ an, in conversatic with a dis- tinguished member of the other branch of the X 11 legislature and a judicial of- ficer of the city of Philadelphia, and one of the ting members, probably the leading member of the Pennsylvania state senate, | when giving as a reason that he could not | » plighted faith, and could not do pr what ht to be done in regard to am tm- portant nomination to be made there toda: a salary, and hac stated that he was under been unde heavy salary from a corporation for the last three years— ary large enough to maintain his family— and he was compelled to do what the cor- poration wished him to do, and not what he himself desired and felt that he ought to do. “The amendment I suggest is pertinent simply in this respect, that men in such a position, with high power for good or evil, ought not to be permitted to masquerade as acting in the interest of the public or in the interest of any party, when in reality they are serving one of these great corpor- ate bodies. They ought to go about and meet their fellows fairly and openly, with the dollar mark of the corporation upon their foreheads, and I think such an amend- ment as I suggest should be inserted in the bill before it passes.” It is well known that the person whom Senator Quay thus pursued was “Dave” Martin, Philadelphia's republican boss and, until,very recently, Senator Quay’s trusted lieutenant. At a critical moment, Martin deserted Quay and now Quay wants the United States government to brand a large and conspicuous $ on Martin’s fore- head. Of course it is unfortunate that Martin should be so tied up by his prob- ably improper relations with a great cor- poration as to compel disobedience to Quay, but in view of the fact that Martin has no official connection with this government it is rather difficult to see how Congress can take any cognizance of the faliing out which seems to have touched a tender spot—the existence of which was not sus- pected—in the mental and it may be finan- cial anatomy of Senator Quay. But it is upon the possibilities opened up by the Quay proposition that people un- tainted by companionship with rings or combines will love to dwell. If the junior senator from Pennsylvania can figure out the propriety of imprinting dollar-marks on the foreheads of nonofficial personages who serve corporations, there can be no doubt of the righteousness of affixing such dis- tinguishing insignia to the brows of men whom the country pays to look out for its best interests but who devote themselves almost exclusively to the welfare of, it may be, just such corporations as those which succeeded in purchasing “Dave” Martin’s allegiance—so long the valued possession of Matthew Stanley Quay. Without anything like personal interest in the quarrels of state and city bosses, the general public awaits the coming of the benefits that are always said to fall to the lot of honest men under circumstances similar to those that have created so much of a sensation in Philadelphia. —__ — +e ___ Rudyard Kipling’s new girl baby has been called Josephine, after her mainma, and her nurse was imported directly from England, so that, as her father says, she will learn to talk “as a lady should.” If Mr. Kipling is so fortunate by and by as to be father of a boy we presume he will bring over a valet from the old country in order that the youngster may learn to talk as a gentleman should. There is nothing like preserving the unitiés in a family. —— re With many well-filled pages the Cincin- nati Post celebrates the commencement of its fifteenth year of existence.
