THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY......... January 16, 1895. crospy S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a re: elar and permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies.

To meet the insistent demands of the day The Star proposes a gigantic pound- party, and will do its share in endeavoring to make the popular idea a complete suc- cess. The party is to take place Friday and invitation is hereby extended to every man, woman and child im the District of Columbia to bring or send to The Star office at an, time on Friday a package of feod or clothing or fuel that shall weigh at least cne pound or an order representa- tive of the minimum weight. The pack- ages may be as much larger or as much more weighty as the contributors desire to make them, and the orders may be as comprehensive a3 seems proper to the donors. The main point is to have every- body give. It will probably be that pack- ages will also be received at a point in Esst Washington and a point in George- town; in which event there will be no ne- cessity for the resideats of the two quar- ters mentioned to make a pilgrimage to The Star office. Let us all combine to make the pound- party a succ — President Durlop of the Washington and Georgetown Street Kaiiway Company is re- ported as saying vefore the sub-Listrict committee of the House yesterday that there is no probability of that corporation secking to run its Mt. Pleasant vranch line directly down lith street to Pennsylvania avenue and making its junction there, in- tead of by the preseut New York avenue ard 1cth street route. ‘This is doubtless true. is, however, a strong probabil- ity that some of these days it may be re- quired to do whether it seeks the change or not. The time must come, and Probably will come at no distant day, when pubiic safety and public convenience will be regerded by Congress as of more im- pertance than the wishes of any corvora- tion. The issue involved in this matter— that of public safety—is a very serious one, and is becoming more grave every day that the population of the city incre Pit- teenth street between New York and Peun- syivania enues ig the channel through which the great currents of city travel wiil always flow, aad the pressure is constantly increasivg. This will reach a point by and by, if that point has not already been reached, when relief must be aiforded, and when that time comes it will not matter very much what. the railway seeks or does rot seek. » as wise as it is lucky, it will keep a little in advance of public demands, imstead of be- irg forced into making ed improve- ments. It has about the best thing in the ferm of a free franchise in the United States, and it ought to be willirg to volun- tarily give evidencs, in addition to that fur- nished by past improvements under careful and progressive management, that it ap- preciates deserves its good fortune. a ee Believers in a strong foreign policy will doubtiess be delighted to learn that- the United States gunboat Castine has been sent by the administration to Madagascar, that faraway and much-disturbed kingdom around the boundaries of which the Indian Ocean ebbs and flows. ‘Ihe reasons for this action by the powers that be originate in the fact that there is serious disagreement between france and Madagascar, and that this country has large commercial interests in the threatened realm. As a precedent, the sending of the Castine to Madagascar will be joyfully accepted by that exceeding great majority of the American people which delights in asserting what it believes to be its rights. It ts barely possible that if the executive branch of our government deems it necessary to look after the rubber concessions, which are alleged to be im- periled, it may after a while consent to the sending of a warship to Honolulu, where American Interests are greater in the ratio of something of like 1,00 to 1 than they are among the Hovas. It Is not regarded as at all probable that Madagascar will ever achieve intimate relationship with the United States, so there is nothing un- Yeasonable in imagining that bye-and-bye the administration will display at least as much interest in Hawaii—which will surely, sooner or later, be ope of the states of this Union. ——- ee Everybody has a good word to say for Senator Frye upon the occasion of his re- election. His renomination by acclamation by the republicans of Maine was not a matter of surprise to those who know the high estimation in which his abilities, both brilliant and solid, are held, and the warm personal affection felt for him in every quarter of the state from Kittery to East- pert, and from the Atlantic to the St. John. —- 02 The French President lacked nerve. He should have put up a sentry-box and stood his ground. ——__+ «+ Senator Hill as a diner-out fs attracting more attention than Chauncey Depew. += A political crisis is no rarity in France; in fact it Is of such frequent occurrence as to be often unnoticed save by these who are most deeply interested in the events which lead up to and surround those ordi- nartly hysterical occasions. But the crisis which comes as a consequence of the resig- nation of a president ef the Republic is by ro means of the common sert. Casimir- Verier’s abdication reveals a hitherto-un- wspected phege of his character; shows conclusively that he lacks the patient cour- eee of the scldier who stands unmoved while waiting orders under fire. It ts al- leged that in his message to the Chambers the President will say: “I had the single- minded wish to be not a man of party but a man of all France, to defend order, seek- ing Imspiration from the example of the l.mented Carnot. But to my deep sorrow 1 found that I pleased no party. I was at- ticked on every side. The attacks varied ia form, but all showed a personal ill-will.” Jt was his Inability to directly defend him- self from the assaults of which he com- jlains that compelled the President's resig- ration, Had he been anywhere but in the ctatr of the chief magistrate and been a target for general attacks he would have been at liberty to defend himself; but, con- strained by what he deemed to be the dig- nified limitations of his office, he was com- pelled to silence until the pressure became unbearable. That he has been attacked vi- ciously may not be disputed; that he has failed to please many who are still found im the ranks of his supporters is an indis- putable fact, yet his popularity cannot be questioned; if he will permit his name to be presented to the national assembly when that body meets for the purpose of filling the vacancy which this sensational resigna- tion has caused, he will probably achieve re-election. H+ repres2nts the anti-socialist element and was believed to be one of the most couragcous and vigorous of those who are devoted to the welfare of France. It bas been hinted that a revolution impends, but there is no such possibility indicated just now in the news that’comes from con- servative sources. Of course §here will be more or less language disbursed by the roy- alist faction, and the chances are all in favor of some sert of a demonstration by a descendant of the Bourbons, but the odds are not in favor of any serious outbreak ror is there the slightest reason for be- lieving that the French Republic {s in danger. —_——___+ + —___ There should be inspiration for many wealthy men and women in the notable contribution toward the relief of the poor made yesterday by Mr. John R. McLean. That his great liberality is warmly appre- ciated not only by the poor, but also by those who have been carnestly endeavoring to relieve distress, is clearly evident. The example thus set ought to be the foundation upon which a great structure of benevo- lence may be upreared. Who will be the ext conspicuous contributor? —_—__~+ «+ _____ Casimir-Perier should have sought the advice of President Cleveland before let- ting go his oilice.
