‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAX. February 9, 1895. OROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. —— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more vham the combined circulation of the othee Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor.

Americans will not split hairs over the amount of protection to be extended by the government to Americans. Blood is thicker than water. The administration will be sustained by the peeple in going just as far as it legally can in causing the two Americans among the Hawaiian revo- lutionists to be justly and reasonably dealt with. It is unfortunate that the government has tied its own hands in this matter by declaring that citizens of the United States by participation in Hawaiian civil commotions either on one side or the other “forfeit their right in that regard to the protection of the American flag,” and this wholesale repudiation of Hawatian- Americans has been defended and upheld by the administration's supporters in the Senate within a very few days. The exist- ing government of Hawaii is composed largely of Americans, it represents Ameri- can interests and aspirations in the Isl- ands. It is moving toward annexation to the United States, and it has the active sympathy of the bulk of this republic's population. Unless annexation is hopeless, it is reasonably certain that the Mmwaiian government will do nothing to alienate American sympathy and support. If, how- ever, our government definitely and irre- vocably rejects the annexation advances, threatens with forfeiture of “ American rights any who fight to maintain the ex- istence of the Hawaiian republic, and is with difficulty restrained from aiding Ha- waii's royalist, British and Asiatic enemies, the Americans who constitute the Hawaiian government, abandoned by their kin, must fight for their lives and property by meth- ods that will be effective, even though of barbarous simplicity and severity. But the Americans in Hawaii must not be aban- doned—neither the many republicans, nor the two royalists. The suggestion of the United States to the republic which will doubtless befpre long be annexed to It or under its avowed protection Is to temper justice with mercy. The murderer of Car- ter should suffer capital punishment. But the death sentences in the cases of those who conspired against the government and were constructively traitors, but who fired no shots and did no damage, could expe- diently be suspended, as long as the con- victed remained away from Hawaii, or be commuted into some other form of pun- ishment. Of course, if the Hawaiian gov- ernment took this course at the suggestion of the United States there would be in- volved a certain obligation of protection at least on the part of the latter to the former, and a complete abandonment cf the administration's policy of non-interven- tion when the interests of the island re- public would be advanced thereby, and of medclesome, hostile intervention when the ty has arisen to do the republic an injury. —————— Criticism of President Cleveland's latest financial message and of the policy which it outlines and represents is easy enough to those who are bourd to find fault with everything the admipistration does, but the calm business mind does not discover how, in the absence of legislative action, the President could do otherwise than he has done and is doing for the preservation of the nation’s credit. The inability of Con- gress tu take action was evident to the civilized world; something had to be done and the one thing possible to the execu- tive branch of the government was just the thing that the President has done. If his procedure has been and is improper it is in the power of Congress to make statu- tory declaration to that effect, but Con- gress bas insistently refrained from giving expression to its views—if it has any. In- stead of making a target of President Cleveland for authorizing bond issues he should be credited with having done the only thing he ‘s empowered to do in sucha @ situation as now exists; if he is ih any sense blameworthy it is because the bond issues have not been large enough. It may reasonably be asserted that issues of $5 ov,000 are too small to work the desired financial changes; what is needed is a bond issue of sufficient magnitude and so nego- tiated as to bring back from Europe not less than $100,000,000 of American gold. That Congress will accede to the Presi- dent's request for authority to change the character of the latest issue of bonds so as to effect considerable saving in the matter of interest is not at all probable. When there is indubitable evidence of Congres- sional indifference or adverse belief the President should take the bull by the horns and do most thoroughly that which he has sought to do by the comparatively small bond-issues. —— - + = ‘Among the many things to be considered by the conference committee on the Dis- triet of Columbia appropriation bill is the Serate amendment increasing the pay of the ambulance, patrol and van drivers to $000 a year each. This sum is smal enough to escape the condemnation of even the most picayune of congressional economists and will surely be provided for when the measure becomes a law. In other cities men performing similar service receive from $50 to $85 per month, so there can be ro reasonable objection to giving the local drivers the minimum rate. The men them- selves in their petitions have shown the necessity for the increase; the District Commissioners have unanimeusly recom- %unded favorable action on the amend- hent—which was offered by Senator Peffer; the ate committee on appropriations made the amendment its own and will take it into conference. It should go through witheut any diffieutly whatever. ———__ ee ‘The question that is beating against the intellectual bulwarks of certain commun- ities is whether a populist who is elected to Congress does not become a capitalist as soon as he begins to draw $5,000 a year salary. —_—__ + es -___ Philologists are somewhat at loss to se- lect an exact term to distinguish the pres- ent period from those that have preceded it, and a great many suggestions have been made. It has been urged that this is the electrical age; also the era of rapid transit. Many other notions have been advanced, but none seems more forcible than the idea that this shall be known as the camera epoch in our national development. So far has the camera enthusiasm progressed that the lens and shutter are beginning to super- sede the sportsman’s shotgun and rifle. A recent issue of the American Journal of Photography says that there are now many hunters out in the Maine woods armed with magazine cameras instead of guns, working for the chance to get snap shots at moose and other wild game. It is said to require quite as much skill, and often more, to get | within focusing distance as within shooting range. This may be all very well for the Maine woods, but the fad will never be| worked to perfection until some venture- some young man shall leave his rifle behind and go out into the mountain regions of the far west with a detective camera, seek- ing to surprise the festive grizzly bear ont | delay.” THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. his native heath in interesting attitudes. Such pictures would undoubtedly be most entertaining and would probably be of great value to science in showing the habits of life and thought of the grizzly and his companions. As far as can be ascertained, however, the grizzly, ike the Chinaman, has an antipathy to being photographed and has never yet been found to be a docile subject for the camera. There is a well- founded belief that he is as restless and hard to induce to “look pleasant’ as the average Infant when taken to the gallery by fond parents and is inclined, moreover, to be a trifle more belligerent. There are several characteristics that would be es- sential for the photographer who essays to secure such photographs. A quick eye and a steady hand, in the first place, would be needed to manage the camera, but most of all would be required an unerring judg- ment as to when to run and legs capable of instant response. There are possibilities in this new notion of the cameraists that are worth thinking about and developing. —_—__~+++___—_ Organizations and individuals devoted to the amelioration of human suffering in the District of Columbia have done and are doing very creditable work, but they are still much hampered by a lack of funds. There is now more of misery than has ex- isted at any time since winter began and while Washingtonians have, as a general proposition, done nobly in behalf of the suffering poor, they cannot and will not now close their eyes to conditicns the like of which are but rarely to be found in this neighborhood. It may be that many of those who have been practically con- cerned for the at least temporary comfort of their less fortunate neighbors have dis- bursed their surplus; for that they will undoubtedly be rewarded, but they should appreciate the fact that the very essence in the pleasure of giving has its existence in self-sacrifice; they should taste of the sweetness consequent upon deprivation for the welfare of others; those who have comfortable homes and a little more than a mere sufficiency of food and clothing should think of the thousands who have none of these things and who, in many in- stances, are so situated without fault of their own. It may be possible to give only @ little, but there should be no hesitancy on that account; the main point is to give speedily and as frequently as possible, and if the giving shall deprive the donor of some non-essential, some luxury, then will the charity be so much the more creditable. Truly has it been said that we are rich only through what we give; and poor only through what we refuse and keep. ——_ + 0 e The men with gold to lend say to the government that they will loan it at three per cent if the interest is made payable in gold, and at three and three-quarters per cent if the interest is payable in coin, for in the latter case silver may be tendered them. If the loan fs finally perfected at three and three-quarters per cent the lend- ers must of course be paid their interest in silver, for they have themselves made a discrimination to the extent of three-quar- ters of one per cent between a gold bond and a coin bond, and have protected them- selves in advancé against payment in the cheaper metal by the exaction of aehigher rate of interest. It will be impossible to say in respect to these bonds that “gold” and “coin” are synonymous, for the money lenders have themselves made the dis- crimination, and announced that only gold means gold and three per cent interest, and that coin means silver and three and three-quarters per cent interest. The United States gught not to pay more than three per cent, if, in fact, it is going to pay the interest in gold, no matter whether the word gold or the word coin is used in the bonds. The administration should see to this in its negotiations for the loan, for it is very evident that Congress will not legislate. ——__ +e Chinese diplomacy in recent dealings with Japan will probably cost the celestial em- pire a great deal in money and men. Had the Chinese government been sincere in its declarations of e& desire for immediate peace the war would by this time be over, but for some reason or other—not clearly apparent at this time—diplomatic manoeuv- ering was resorted to, and its outcome has been delay that does not seem to be worth anything and an expensively-fatal defeat of the Chinese ferces in and around Wei- Hai-Wei. There was a time since Japan and China commenced to war with each other when China might have made a graceful retrograde movement, and by so doing have saved itself much of material and sentimental damage, but Chinese states- manship failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and the consequences have been most disastrous not only to Chinese arms, but also to Chinese prestige among the civilized nations. —___-+ ¢ = -—__ In the death of John L. Stevens, some time minister of the United States to Ha- wail, this country lost a citizen who served it with all fidelity not alone in one con- spicuous instance, but during a long period of public usefulness. Fearless, conscient- lous, patriotic, he did the right thing at what seemed to him to be the right time. An American throughout, his name will achieve an honorable place in American history by reason mainly of the firm stand he tock in behalf of American interests when decency and indecency were strug- gling with each other in Hawaii. —___ + e+ It is sald that Carl Browne is to marry.

The prospect of currency legislation was given its quietus on Thursday, when the bill favored by the administration was de- feated in the House of Representatives by 135 to 163. It authorized an issue of $500,- 000,000 in gold bonds. The bill was de- bated. The Bell amendment to make the bonds payable in gold and silver was de- feated by 76 to 106. The Reed substitute, authorizing the issue of coin bonds for the replenishment of the gold reserve and cer- tificates of indebtedness to defray any de- ficiencies in the revenues, was lost, 109 to 187. The President then notified Congress that an issue of sixty millions in bonds would be made to replenish the gold re- serve. The worst storm since the blizzard of 1888 swept over the country, delaying traffic and causing great distress. An at- tempt was made in the House of Repre- sentatives to pass an omnibus bill for the payment of claims for stores and supplies confiscated from loyal people in the south during the war, amounting to $718,663. It excited much opposition, especially from Pennsylvania members interested in Penn- sylvania border war claims amounting to 000,000, and not included. The measure was defeated—05-148. The House commit- tee on elections decided the case of Belk- nap against Richardson, of the fifth Michi- gan district, in favor of Richardson, the sitting member. The President signed the act reviving the grade of Meutenant gen- eral, and sent to the Senate the nomination ff Major General Schofield, which was con- firmed. The laying of a cable to Hawaii was further discussed in the United States Senate, but no conclusion was reached. Jim French and Verdigris Kid, the two re- maining members of the original Bill Cook gang, were killed at Tulsa, Indian territory. Both houses of the Oregon legislature passed a joint resolution in favor of a con- stitutional amendment allowing women to vote. At Detroit Mrs, Nellie W. Pope was arraigned, charged with murdering her husband, Dr. Pope. The Denison Hotel in Indianapolis was burned, but all the guests escaped. The Lawson power of removal bill for New York has passed the senate, all the republicans and one democrat vot- ing for it; it had previously passed the house. Judge Grosscup of the United States Court, Chicago, ousted President Greenhut from the receivership of the whisky trust. Henry Clay Evans took the oath of office as chief executive of Ten- nessee, but the secretary of state refused to file the oath, and Gov. Turney remains de facto governor.

H. oretan: At the opening of the fourth session of the thirteenth parliament of Queen Vic- tcria the queen’s speech was read, in which it was stated that in Ireland offenses of all kinds against the law had sunk during the past year to the lowest level hitherto marked in the official records. The Queen Regent of Spain has signed the commercial modus vivendi agreed upon by Spain and the United States. The passengers of the wrecked steamer Amerique arrived at Co- lon. The mails and cargo of the steamer were lost, and one of her sailors was drowned. The steamer is a total loss. The Japanese rejected the Chinese peace com- missioners, on the ground that their cre- dentials were defective, not granting them plenary powers. By an explosion of fire- damp in a French colliery in the depart- ment of Saone at Loire forty or fifty per- sons were killed. In response to an in- quiry, it was stated in parliament that the Sassoun massacre in Armenia was even worse than had been reported. It is said that the powers will not intervene in the eastern war until China admits that she is beaten and sues for peace. Timothy Healy has resigned from the new parliamentary committee of the Irish parliamentary perty. The Japanese captured the defenses of Wei Hai Wei, sunk three Chinese war- ships and began a movement on Chefoo. In the District. The extrem2 weather of the, past week affected local affairs in a variety jof ways, causing a suspension and delay - steam and street railroad transportatidn, much discomfort to people who had ty go out of doors and great suffering to those who lacked proper food and clothing. On Mon- day the temperature was recorded at zero, and it has kept in the vicinity of that point nearly the entire week; high winds and driving snow were atmospheric features of the past three days. The sever- ity of the weather has caused the various charitable agencies to redouble their efforts and great generosity has been displayed by those who were in a position to give contributions of provisions, money or clothing. For two days travel on the sub- urban street railroads was entirely sus- pended. The river is reported to be frozen to an unprecedented depth, and in anti pation of the rush of waters when the break-up comes the Commissioners have asked for an appropriation to enable them | to clear the river of ice. Col. Elliot, the officer in charge of the Washington aque- | duct, declared that not only was the famine whieh he predicted imminent, but that it was already here, and that it would in- crease in degree until the remedy was ap- plied, namely, raising the height of the Great Falls dam. Officers of the various street railroads, after conference, submitte an agreement relative to transfer arrange- ments, which was sent by the Commission- ers -o Congress. A representative gather- ing of citizens met at the Arlington and after listening to an address by Dr. Busey and a letter by Dr. W. W. Johnson, on the need of sewer extension, adopted resolu- tions urging upon Congress the necessity for some action in this matter. The his- toric mansion of Oxon Hall, opposite Alex- andria, was destroyed by fire. The deaths of John M. Young, Col. F. A. Seeley and Abel B. Upshur occurred during the week. SHOOTING STARS.

THESE OFFERINGS ARE PROMPTED BY THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE, CLIPPED FROM THE FASHION NOTES OF AN EMINENT AUTHORITY: The Crepon Skirt. From the Philadelphia Times. One of the leading features of the season's fash- fons is. the black crepon skirt, which appears on all ‘occasions, at all hours and has completely usurped the place of the black moire so popular last year. It is an claborate example of crinkling in pattern and a work of art in the way it is cut and hung, but it is usually devoid of all trimming, and always the smart thing to wear for a morning call or a swell reception, being. equally suitable for maid and matron.. She has orly to live up to fashion’s privileges in the way of variations in the bodice, which has become such a continual experiment in untqne and striking combinations, and an appar- ently extensive wardrobe is accomplished with one skirt.
