THE EVENING SFAR. WASHINGTON. WHURSDAY...........January 17, 1895. Editor. CROSBY 8. NOYES —— a WHE EVENING STAR hasa vegular and permanent circulation much more vham the combined circulation of the othee Washington dailies. As a News and Advert Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avo’ inys, on ac- letters to count of personal absence, THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- 9, according to tenor or purpose. ‘Tomorrow is to be conspfcuously “the” day when the people of the District of Co- Jumbia will be afforded extraordinary op- portunity to contribute generally such material as is suitable for the immediate relief of the many poor who are now suf- fering In this community. It was made known yesterday that The Star would to- morrow hold a gigantic pound party, the proceeds to be immediately distributed to the thousands of neeay Ones in our mids Already there is promise of great succes: already in many homes each member of the family is preparing to contribute his or her mite to the good cause. In the news columns of The Star will be found announcement as to the location of branch recelving-offices, the main warehouse being in The Star buildings; these depots will be open all day long, so that the workman going to or from his toil, the business man, the housekeeper, the shopper, the domestic, the school boy and the school girl, will all have ample opportunity to do at least a little something—which in the aggregate will be a great deal—to improve the dis- tressing conditions now existing in a large number of local homes. —__++=—__—_ Whatever may be the outcome of the strike on the trolley lines of Brooklyn, one interesting fact has made its appearance ag the result of the disagreement between the companies and their employes, and that fs that while the corporations were not al- lowed by law to run their cars at a rate of speed exceeding ten miles an hour, their schedules were so arranged that the cars had to run at a speed ranging from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. As a consequence of these schedules—by which, and not by the law, conductors and motor- men were controlled—nearly one hundred lives have been uselessly sacrificed in the ity of Brooklyn alone, while hundreds of persons have suffered injuries more or less severe. Such slaughter as that to which reference has teen made could not long continue without awakening the pub- lic to a work of reform. From the day when the dangerous and undesirable sys- tem first secured privileges in Brooklyn, there has been continuous protest, but not until recently were the prayers of those who protested heard by the authorities in whom was vested power to take action. Just now, however, there Is a good deal of anti-trolley activity, for the New York State Board of Railroad Commissioners has taken cognizance of the situation and after thorough investigation will do all that is in its power to apply exisiting remedies. In addition to what it may do, recom- mendations will be made to the Brooklyn common council vy a special committee of five citizens appointed by Mayor Schieren to conduct a most comprehensive inquiry. For years, the people in cities have cried with great vehemence against the exist- ence of steam railroad crossings at grade, yet in those same cities companies operat- ing by the overhead-trolley system have been permitted to run cars at steam rail- road speed through the most crowded thoroughfares. But the trolley seems to have had its day. — \ The discredited government of Newfound- land made a serious but unsuccessful effort to bring about the arrest and legal punish- ment of two newspaper men who had been sending forth to the world a truthful por- trayal of the conditions In the colony. This attempt at repression and suppression is entirely in line with the practice common among guilty people who are being critl- cised. Wherever there is a great public disturbance there are many people who desire to carry on their work in the dark and these hate the newspapers in an unde- fined way and are personal in their dislike of the newspapers’ representatives. Every big strike develops such situations and they are common in military campaigns. —_—__+ +e -—_ Official reports Indicate that there are employed on the city post-office today one hundved and twenty-two men. This is an excessively large number to be engaged at any one time upoa a building which ts be- ing constructed in accordance with the de- liberate methods much too common when the government goes Into the building bus- iness. If the total continues to grow In the future as it has during the past month or 30 the’ chances are favorable to completion of the structure prior to the year 14). The average up to this time, though, would indicate improbability of completion prior to August 17, 1906. The work has been in progress for two years, ten months and twenty-four days. ee ew York appears to belleve that by giv- tng a man a chance to go to church unmo- lested on Sunday morning, and to gratify his thirst illegally on Sunday afternoon and evening, It is making ample provision for all classes. It doesn’t seem to strike anybody that the saloon keepers thus limited by pledge to a partial violation of the Sunday law are getting a larger share of the day than the religious citizens. tee Among the Important problems now before Co for consideration and, perhaps, solution, few, it may reasona- bly be claimed, outrank that which has to do with the ret United States and th Territory. Based upon the report of a gov- ernment commission is a bill, now being considered; a vill that proposes to abolish all the treaty stipulations made with the five civilized tribes 1nd to s up in place of the present structure a cystem of land Hotment in severalty ixtent by a twenty years’ anti-alienation clause. Every pledge given to the Indians as to self-government and courts and coun- ceils is to be thrown to the winds without any regard whatev=r for the fact that the honor of the United tates is practically at stake. In support of the bill In question the argument is advanced that the effort to civilize by fsolations is a failure—that civilization is not caught by text books, but can only be acquired through absorp- tion. As a matter of fact—and the fact is admitted, even by the most strenuous ad- vocate for statehood for Indian Territory— the trouble with the five civilized tribes has been lack of Isolation; for at no time since the last of the three treaties was negotiated has this government made any gerious effort to keep its promise to shut out those who desired to intrude. On the part of the Indians the main agreement was that they should be limited in their habitation to within the territorial boun- daries; on the part of the United States the principal promise was that its power should be used at all times and freely to preserve inviolate the Indian right to occupation, and, as a coincident measure, to keep out all scheming white men. It is everywhere admitted that the present condition of af- protected to some THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1%, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. c fairs in Indian Territory is nationally dis- graceful. Crime is common, as it is in com- munities where there are no Indians, and in certain localities this is conspicuously so, but there is no reason that appeals to the well-balanced mind that can fairly be based upon the doctrine of Indian laches. It is mere nonsense to say that the Indian dragged into. his territory the two hundred and fifty thousand or three hundred thousand white men who are now permanent residents; absurdity _ could searcely go farther than the oft-made claim that the Indians petitioned railroad companies to come in and acquire rights of way through the ground which the United States once declared to be sacred to the Indian. The plain, unvarnished fact is that the United States government per- mitted those white men to enter the terri- tory, although it had solemnly covenanted to prevent such entry, while every wide- awake Senator or Representative or con- gressional onlooker knows how Indian Territory railroad bills were worked through committees and Congress until they found a place among the nation’s statutes. A contention of the advocates of allotment in severalty and statehood is that “the present growth of the coun- try and its present relations to this terri- tory were not thought of nor even dreamed of by either party when they cntered into these stipulations. * * * The resources of Indian Territory have been developed to such a degree and are of such an im- mense and tempting value that they are attracting to it an irresistible pressure from enterprising citizens. The executory conditions contained in the treaties have become itnpossible of execution. It is no longer possible for the United States to keep its citizens out of the territory.” If this is not a confession of weakness, where will one be found? It is also the milk in the cocoanut; the Ethiop in the woodpile. But it is the backbone of statehood argu- ment, nevertheless. It is a white man’s argument—selfish throughout and lacking in everything that possesses a conscien- tious characteristic. With one breath the so-called reformers tell us that the i1- blood Indian in the territory is degraded and poor; deprived of his rights by the tough element which unquestionably dom- inmates things in that neighborhood just now. In another breath we are informed that the best thing that could happen for that Indian is to burn up the already over- turned fence, mix all these thirty thousand poor ignorant savages up with white or halfbreed “rustlers,” and let the fittest survive. The real remedy—to clean out the unlawful occupants—is not suggested, for such a proceeding would leave one of the fairest garden spots on the continent in the hands of the Indians; it {s so much easier to confess that the government which we proudly claim to be the greatest and strongest o the governments on the face of the ih is not powerful enough to keep its word. That this gov- ernment is at liberty to abrogate the treat- ies is unquestioned, but it Is the liberty of might in the interests of the mighty. The Star has already printed excellent tes- timony as to the existence of a selfish conspiracy against the five civilized tribes; it is astonished that those who have la- bored long and faithfully in behalf of In- dian civilization should now play into the hands of land schemers. —___+ «= ____—_ The man who talks saucy to the Presi- dent of the United States is attracting far less attention than formerly.

SHOOTING STARS, A Matter of Principle. “Of course,” said Cholly Anglomane, “I’m going to the pound pahty. A dollar pahty would have been cheaper, but a pound’s English, and I'm going to do my share if I have to take my lawst $5 bill to the money changer’s.” Disparity. Ah, cruel, though fair one, my hopes you betrayed; At the play just behind you I sat; More generous treatment you must have displayed, Had your heart been as large as your hat.
