6 tL —— THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 14, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY....2........ January 14, 1895. — CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. — ~ THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. be to any individ connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or ness Depart- melts, according to tenor or purpose. ~ = Governor O’Ferrall of Virginia has evti- Gently come to the conclusion that the state of which he 1s chief executive ts the worse for the presence of those who run the winter racing that has gone steadily on through snow and sleet and hail and rain and ice and mud and slush at the Alexander Island track. Many times has The Star, on behalf of the people of the District of Columbia, attacked those who are deeply Interested in the double-headed organization known as the Grange Camp Association of Northern Virginia and the Old Dominion Jockey Club. The former title was leased, for a consideration, and it 1s under the shelter of that lease that the gamblers expect to be able to continue their occupation. This hope is probably without good foundation, for neither Gov- ernor O’Ferrall nor the state’s attorney- general would be likely to institute legal preceedings unless they were reasonably sure of their ability to carry them to a successful conclusion. The gamblers take comfort out of a decision that on its face seems to favor their contention, but there 1s evidently better authority in existence; to be produced when the proper time ar- rives. By thelr presenca and their con- duct the winter-racing visitors have ren- dered this city a less desirable place of residence than {t was prior to their advent at Alexander Island, which by reason of its close proximity is practically a part of Washington. The better element of this city’s population has felt like resent- ing the migration hither of those whom even Gloucester and other sin-seasoned re- sorts cast out, but it has never been pos- sible to do anything more than protest since the occupation of Alexander Island. If Governor O’Ferrall makes good his Promise to put a stop to winter racing in Virginia he will be entitled to and will re- ceive the thanks of this community. ee As the Central Relfef Committee ts now ready to take up the local charitable work, announcement is ma that the collection of morey for The Evening Star Santa Claus Club Is ended. The good effects of this crusade against cold and hunger are still felt in every section of the city, and hundreds of children are atterding school daily with warm, solid shoes on their feet, who would have been utterly unable to go if the silver pins had not been sold in such quantities throughout the District. Very nearly $2,300 was raised for actual distribu- tion in the cause of charity. The amount actually subseribed was $2,311.02. Of this sum % was for the purchase of the pins and ribbons and the printing of the latter, and was covered by the amount given by The Star to the club at the very start. So every cent raised in the schools and elsewhere by the sale of badges, at ten cents each, and by contributions re- ceived at The Star office, was available for the purchase of food, fuel and clothing for the poor. Of the sum thus at hand for this good work $1,980 was distributed De- cember 2+ among the supervising princi- pals of the schools and the Associated Charities, according to the needs of the various sections. In the distribution the colored schools were cared for equally with the white, in the proportion of their needs. Later, on January 7, the sum of $316.12 was distributed in the same propor- tion among the schools, to meet the de- mands that the increased severity of the weather hact caused. Thus a total of $2,206.42 has been put out im these chan- nels and the good work, It is reported by the principals, {s still going on. This con- stitutes the final report of the Santa Claus Club for 1504-5. —_—_ + += ____ Elsewhere in The Star will be found a communication which deals with the propo- sition to use the piers of the Aqueduct Bridg2 for street railway purposes, the cost to be first pald by appropriation of public funds, the Treasury to be reimburs- ed and the maintenance of the bridge as- sured by the payment of a toll of not less than one cent fcr each passenger carried across. To this plan there can be no ob- jection, provided always that the tax is levied on the railway companies and not directly on the passengers as Individual toll, and provided also that the money thus paid by the companies to the authorities is understood to be in lieu of a fixed ren- tal for use of the structure; so that the control of the bridge will at all times be exclusively In the hands of the Commis- sioners. That there is necessity for tm- protement in the facilities for reaching suburban Virginia !s evident to anyone who gives the subject even little thought, for there is absolute lack of anything like cheap and rapid transit from the western edge of Washington to even such near-by places of public interest as Fort Myer and the historic national cemetery at Arlington. In the vicinity of and beyond the places ramed !s much of very desirable residence territory that has been neglected simply because of the remoteness given it by bad roads and the absence of inexpensive and speedy transportation for those who live and others who would like to live in tha locality. . o> —___ In the event of John J.

Indian— and, in spite of the treaty-smashing tenden- eles of Congress, there are very many such—can only regard with satisfaction the action of the Interior Department in call- ing to this city for the purposes of confer- erce a number of the more prominent Indian agents. The conferences are now over, but the results will surely make them- selves felt and be clearly apparent for many years to come. It was well enough to bring these responsible officials into con- taot with each other, if only to benefit the service by a free interchange of experi- ences and opinions, but the Interfor Depart- ment authorities seem to have had a high- er motive; their alm appears to be reform of the most practical sort and looking not #0 much toward improved administration as to real betterment of the personal Indian. The first movement to be made on that line is to completely divorce the Indian service from politics and thus make pos- sible the retention in government employ of the more capable civilian agents and employes who have been so falthful—men Ike Agent McLaughlin of Standing Rock and Agent Wright of Rosebud; with this should come severance of the unprofitable bonds that have so closely and so improp- erly bound the Interfor Department to the system of securing all supplies by contract a plan that gives the willing Indian ttle QF no opportunity to compete. Conscious of 16 good work that has already been done the large educational institutions which especial attention to the Indian, the its are, it is understood, a unit in be- Heving that more of real good can be ac- Somplished by carrying on the educative process on the various reservations; there the course of instruction will be more prac- tical and be desirably removed from the tendency that now. exists to burden the aboriginal mind with information that can- not by any possibility be of any value to the pupil. But the conference has done ™much more than discuss the welfare of Indian children, although they are by no means a minor consideration; there was earnest discussion as to the men and women who are now without occupation or hé@Pe of remunerative industry. From the day when the Indian first became depend- ent upon his conqueror, the dominant authority has insisted that the Indian should be a farmer whether he wanted to be or not. The fact that the land upon which the Indian was compelled to live was unfit for agriculture had no effect at all upon those who were responsible for the soil-tilling ukase. Competent investigators have again and again insisted that with all the good ara- ble land In the possession of the white man {t was unreasonable to expect the In- dian to be a successful farmer, but the In- terlor Department has gona on, year after year, insisting, for instance, that the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Sioux should raise grain and vegetables out of soil so dry and, without expensive frrigation, so worthless as to be uncoveted even by the frontier “land rus¢ler.’” From this time forth the Interior Department will, It is understood, set the Indian to stock raising—an occupa- tion for which he has natural ability and out of which he can at least get enough to support kimself decently. If that policy is adhered to, and ff, instead of cumbering the agency pay-rolls with political farmers, the department semads competent instruc- ters to assist the agents, the Indian will have a better chance to achieve independ- ence than has ever yet been given him by his greedy guardian—the government of the United States. But there is yet more to do: the boys and girls must be given seme useful avocation when they leave sckcol. The boys should be set to building wagons and to making tinware and to do- ing a great many things that are now be- ing done by contractors; the girls should mzke every piece of clothing needed by the government to keep its promises in the clothing line, and this could be done very vell were the agents supplied with mate- rials so that a cvumbination of trained girls—now viciously idle—and government sewing machines could make the needed garments. If this administration shall succeed in remeving the tense fingers of political selfishness from the threat of the Indian it will have done enough to entitle it to grateful remembrance and to a fair meed of lasting fame. +e. ‘The cold snap prevented the authorities in charge of the city post-oflice building from breaking the record as to the number ef men employed. Only fifty-two were at work today. Pending the construction of a new table of prophecy and possibility it would hardly be fair to mention any pre- cise date as one which would witness structural completion. People who demand a date will have to be content with the reasonable idea that the post-office officials will not vacate the structure in which they are temporarily located until somewhere in the vicinity of August 17, 906. —- +02 —_ When it comes to a question of electing Senators by a popular vote it is to be ex- pected that a number of the members of the upper house will be of the opinion that political suicide is a sin. With Captain Howgate, the New York policemen and Bill Cook all in the toils, the Pullman porter is enjoying a compara- tive monopoly in his profession. — e- Barbarous China is in a position to point the fir ger of scorn at New York's proposed whipping post and say she discovered it centuries ago. —_- + +e Senator Quay is in a@ position to reflect that a political boss runs a great risk when he takes a young man in and teaches him the business.

Even the man who is philosophical was disturbed by the cold wave. “There isn’t one redeeming feature about this weather,” he commented, disconso- lately. “It's too cold for a man to be com- fortable anywhere, and not cold enough to be worth talking about when you get to be an oldest inhabitant.” What She Enjoyed. “I love to hear you speak,” said she, With an entrancing sigh, “And what I love especially Is the way you say ‘good-bye.’ * A Guess. “I don’t see why Ethel has so many ad- mirers,” she remarked. “She neither sings, plays, paints nor speaks French.” “H'm’m,” he replied, reflectively, “maybe that’s why.

Tbe Illinois leg- islature will be asked to appoint an tnvestl- gating committee to probe into Chicago officialdom, and the Civic Federation of San Francisco has begun a fight there for de- cency and law and order. In San Francisco the situation is particularly desperate,since the governor has just flouted all respect- able people by appointing a notorious law- breaksr as pclice commissioner. Both in the clty of the golden gate and in Chicago there is no question about the terrible mal- administration of the police departments.
