6 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES. =— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY..........- January 24, 1895.) CKOSBY S. NOYES. -Edltor. THE EVENING STAR has a reguiar and yulation much more permanent ce! vhan the combined circulation of | the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac~ i nbsence, letters to count of perse ot be addressed THE STAR should te wey Individual connected with the Otiice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tener or purpose. Public opinion in the District of Columbia is generaily in close accord with the amend- ment which Senator Proctor proposes to offer to the Distriet appropriation bill—an amendment which provides for the issue of bonds sufficient to bring about immediate extension of our sewer system and the opening up of streets and avenues In gen- eral accordance with the original and not- to-be-improved plan of the national capital. The bond-issue proposition has been criti- cised mainly because, in the shape in which it came from the House District committee, it absolved the general government, so far as suburban Improvements are concerned, from its duty of contributing, In Neu of taxes on property, one-half of the amount annually expended in and for the District of Colum>ia by the District Commissioners. ‘or Proctor’s amendment removes the principal objection by insisting that the United States shall carry out its just agree- ment with the District and shall bear tts fair share of the expense involved In doing all the unquestionably-recessary works for which the proposed issue of bonds ts to pay. It is probable, therefore, that the bond proposition in its amended state will secure the hearty support of an over- whelming majority of this city’s taxpayers; unanimity is not to be expected until we reach millennial days. Those upon whom the greater burden would fall have not hesitated to declare themselves In favor of the bond issue, not because a bond tssue per se is a desirable thing but because it is the only means to an extremely desirable end. Competent authorities have shown cenelusively that without such a system of sewers as that planned by the expert civil engineers whom Congress engaged to ad- vise It on the subject this city’s death rate will continue to be undesirably high, and to that extent must the city suffer depre- ciation of value as a place of residence. It has also been evident that a compre- hensive plan of street extension Is a pres- ent need; a few years hence the cost of extensions that must be made will be much greater than at the present time. The two points most worthy of consideration are the public necessity that now exists for these improvements and the double ad- vantage that will accrue from the opening up of great public works; consequent upon the bond issue will be employment for years for the many idle men in the Dis- trict; a large sum of money will be dis- bursed regularly and without fail among the peeple who need it most. Directly and indirectly, more than three-fourths of the money realized by the bond Issue will go into the hands and pockets and stomach of labor. _—_—+ «=_____ Representative Dingley has made plain a way by which the United States can look out for its own interests in connection with the rapidly-diminishing seal herds of Alaska. It is admitted by the administra- tion and by all persons who have any acquaintance whatever with the Bering Sea fisheries that the regulations which are supposed to protect the seals are en- tirely inadequate—this has been stated to Congress by Secretary Carlisle-so the nec ity for doing something and doing tt Immediately ts apparent. Mr. Dingley has evidently looked with care into the subject; he has gathered a great deal of informa- tion, and his views on this as on all other public matters carry with them great | weight. There is nothing In the Dingley | proposition to which Great Britain can | make reasonable objection. In view of the great interest which England has in the dressing and dyeing of Iskin, there is rational ground for the supposition that sooner than have the United States kill all the seals at one time and preserve the skins—to be sold when conventent—Her Majesty's government will join with this country In regulations that will regulate. +e One hundred and thirty-one men were en- gaged on the city post-office building today. This is a considerable falling off in the con- structive force as compared with the ree- ords for the past few days, but the decrease | fs not sufficient to deprive sanguine watch- ers‘of the hope that the post-office may be comfortably installed in the new structure prior to the commencement of the twentieth century. Two years, eleven months and one day have moved noiselessly Into the devouring past since the supervising archi- tect's office started out on the gigantic task in which Washington {3 so deeply inter- ested. —_ + + > —__. When so much of public interest centers on Hawail as fs the case just now, readers of The Star will find good matertal tn its able special correspondence from Honolulu. Today Kamehameha gives a concise story of the recent insurrection near Honolulu and makes some pertinent comments on the uses that encouraged rebellion. soe There is a good deal of common sense in one suggestion made by District Master Workman Simmons La! of the Knights of or in discussing the present stagnation ners resident in titis city. mmons says if owners of property in this city whose holdings need more or less of repair would have those repairs made tow the results would be extremely bene- ficial. Comparatively few houses are in such a condition as to need no repairs, and very few owners are entirely devoid of such circulating medium as would pay the repair bill. If each of the proprietors would proceed at once to have done the Kittle things that are really needed, em- ployment would be found for a great many Persons who are now walking the streets day after day in search of almost any kind of work. Relief of this sort fs what these men want; they detest charity and accept ft only when driven to acceptance either by their own personal suffering or by the @iscomforts that afflict those dependent on them. Mr. Simmons’ suggestion is one capable of speedy and practical applica- tion and indefinite expansion; it is one of the few things that can be done here with- out congressional action. Find or make work for some of the un- 4! Practical benevolence and bust- mon sense drive home this in- he nicipality through its urd and the proviston of temporary aning work does something to re- | spond to this appeal. If Congress would | permit it to anticipate some of next sum- | mer’s street and park work, it would do | more. It would accomplish cheaply much municipal improvement”and at the same relieve destitution tn a manner which no harmful consequences what- he passage of the bond-issue nt wovld confer the blessings of an opportunity to work upon thousands of the local unemployed. Citizens, as well as the city, must make work. Washingtonians are already in large pumbers acting upon this principle. The relief organizations, when it is practicable to do so, couple with their assistance the requirement of certain work. These op- fortunittes to earn should be enlarged, and es | individuals. In one of his books J. extended in suitable forms of employment to women as well as men. Other kinds of work are to be encouraged or devised and pushed, not only by organizations but by G. Hol- land states the case very clearly and con- vincingly: “If there is a time in a rich man’s life when he should indulge in luxuries, or, perhaps I should say, use his money in | such a way as to give people work to do, it is a time of depression like this. If he has building to do, let him build. Materials and labor are cheap, and he never will have so good a time again. He certainly will not if he waits for better times to arrive. Instead of this, he shuts up his purse, curtails his expenses and waits While the people sta! “The truth is that half the evils which the poor are feeling now come from the rich man's short-sightedness and coward- liness. Every luxury that he indulges in gives work to somebody. Every enterprise that he engages in puts bread Into hungry mouths. I should say that every rich man who cuts off his luxuries in a time like this, or falls to devise all possible schemes to keep the poor employed, and then sits down and doles ogt his money to keep them from starving, most lamentably fails of doing his duty. I’m not a rich man, but if any of my good friends have more money than they know what to do with, I advise them to spend it for something that will give work to ‘dle hands—to do this at once, and do {t all the time. The work that pro- duces a garment which you procure as a luxury ts to the person who makes it a necessity. The house which you build 'n a time of depression helps to bring the better time when you can get a good rent for ft. The fact is the good time we are all wait- ing for Is locked, In the form of money, in the coffers of those who refuse to use it to their own advantage and the advantage of those who are suffering for lack of labor.” ——__+ e+ —___ The green-goods’ men are again to the front with some original and effective ideas on the problem of how to make a little currency do a great deal of business.
