6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY. «s+..Febraary 12, 1895. CKOSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regalar and permanent circulation much more vhan the econ’ ed eirealation of the other Washington dailies. Asa News and Advertising Medium has no competitor. count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the offlee, b z TAR, or to - Editorial or Business Depart- meNts, according to tenor or purpose. An interesting addition has been made to the literature of suffrage in the District during the past few days by the introduc- tion by Mr. Peffer of Senate bill 2710 “To provide a representative assembly for the District of Columbia.” Mr. Peffer is so genial and good-natured that he often in- troduces odd attempts at legislation from all quarters of the country, but even Mr. Peffer’s complacence failed him at this point, and in self-defense he was forced to note the t that the bill was intro- duced “by est." By whose request is not generally known. It is not to be doubted that the enactment and enforce- ment of such a law would produce results wholly unsuspected by its authors, and little good can be ected to ever come from such an experiment except to demon- strate how utterly futile are many of the suggestions that have been made for local suffrage. There can be no fear that the “representative assembly” described in this bill would ever bring any serious distress or hardship upon the District. As outlined im the measure, it would be so delight- fully inconsequential that no possible harm could ever come to anybody. As men- tioned in the first section, this assembly is to “make recommendations to Congress as to legislation affecting the District, to rec- ommend to the President candidates for appointment as Commissioners of the Di: trict, and recommend to the Commission- ers candidates for appointment as subordi nate officers.” There is absolutely no hint whatever of any obligation on the part of Congress, the President or the Commis- sioners to accept or even consider such rec- ommendations when made, and there is a magnificent prospect of a state of utter frnccuous desuetude—of legislative impo- tency, so to speak—in this bit of propos2d law. Nor is there even the possibility that such an assembly would give rise to cor- ruption. The compensation of members of this assembly is certainly not alluring enough in tts magnitude to attract many of the professional politicians into the ranks of Idcal legislators, not at least for the mere money that is in the job. There may be any number of mem- * bers above one hundred. Each shall re- ceive one cent per month for each of his constituents. The present population of the District Is 270,000, giving a probable voting strength of 54,000 or one-fifth of the entire population. This would cause an expend- iture for salaries of $40 per month, and at the minimum strength of one hundred members this would give an average of 5.40 per month per member. By means of combinations the majority of the voting strength of the District might be cast for one man, who would thus receive the lion’s share of the $40 monthly. In that case the ranks of the legislature would have to be filled with mere dummies receiving only a few cents per month for their ser- vices. That they would be dummies is as- sured by the provision that “the voting power of each representative shall be equal to the number of his constituents.” So aiso in the matter of recognition by the chair. The representative having the largest con- stituency shall have the greater right for priority of recognition. The suggestion that this might possibly become a one- man power is but a feeble expression of the situation. In order to accomplish the tremendous work tmposed upon it and to adequately discharge the important duties created by law, this august assembly with- out any power would meet each Thursday evening during sessions of Congress and once a month during recesses of Congress. It Is a pity that in a body of which the only function could possibly be the exer- cise of ling power a strict gag rule should be enforced at the very outset. No repre- sentative is to be allowed to speak more than ten minutes in introducing a bill. On the debate following its introduction each side is to he allowed only thirty minutes. In a paraphrase of the language of the Texas statesman, What on earth would they be here for? But the gem of the en- tire measure is the third section, which qualifies the suffrage by requiring voters to be citizens of the United States, resi- dents of the District for one year, of legal age, and able to read that section. With a humane instinct the author of the bill has provided that if a voter be blind he may recite the section. But the dumb are disfranchised. Netthor Senator Peffer nor his friend who framed this most eccentric measure has any use for a voiceless man. —__- +e ———_ By no means averse to the celebration of holidays, the American people may never- theless be charged with something that approaches closely to neglect in connection with an anniversary which is today re- membered in a few places by compara- tively few people. It may at this time be too much to ask that the whole country, without regard to prejudices that are slowly passing away, should unite to har- Mmontously commemorate the birth of Abraham Lincoln, but it Is not unreason- able to suggest that there is profit in set- ting aside the twelfth day of each suc- ceeding February as a day for Americans who love liberty and righteousness to dis- cuss the character and admire the true reatness of one who in years to come will be awarded the most conspicuous place in American history in at least that period covered by the nineteenth century. Here at the national capital there should be re- Membrance and not forgetfulness; for it ‘was here that Lincoln arose in all the full- ness of his gigantic mental stature; here that he laid down his life in accentuation ef his devotion to a deathless principle. —_+ += At the present rate of progress the heirs of the survivors of the Ford Theater dis- aster will be apt to secure payment on their claims from the Eighty-ninth Con- gress. They threaten to constitute a whole generation of McGarrahans. 02 There is a strong suspicion that, with reference to the Armenian question, Turkey fs disposed to make a severe test of the Virtue of self-administered whitewash. —_—__ + ++ ____ ‘The Star’s interesting special corres- mndence from Honolulu, printed elsewhere this issue, gives an accurate inside view of affairs in the disturbed Isiand republic. ‘What ts id im this letter of probavle clemency by the executive in respect to the conspirators who have been sentenced to death is tm line with the hopes and wishes of thousands of Americans who have sympathized with the little Fepublic since its birth. Liliuokalant Jost the active support of the few royalists in the United States when she announced her inflexible intention of be- heading her enemies upon restoration to her kingdom. The Americans who con- Btitute the existing government are not Mkely to imitate the proposed policy of the barbarous ex-ruler, with the partial sitenation of American sympathy which it {nvolves, no matter how much just indig- Bation at the killing of Carter and the wurderous conspirings of dynamite-hand- ling ingrates, and considerations of policy in the discouragement of future revolu- ticns, may have impelled them for a time in the directicn of severity. The Star's correspondence also shows that the construction is placed in Hawaii vpon the administration’s stultifying order to Admiral Beardslee to which it was viewed as clearly liable when pub- Ushed in this country. The President was thought to be out-Heroding Herod or rather out-Britishing the British as a Ha- wailan royalist and hater of the republic when he announced that Americans for- cibly maintaining the existing government would forfeit the protection of the Ameri- ean flag. The British Commisstoner, tt is pointed out, pursued, on the contrary, the true American policy of informing his peo- ple that it is proper to lend aid to the existing government, and that no protec- tion will be forfeited by doing so. — +e ——__ With all the probabilities favorable to such a rise in the temperature as will thaw out the ice in the upper Potomac and melt the more than ordinarily large quantity of snow that covers the river banks and the valley of the river, the prospect for high water on the lower levels of Wash- ington is extremely promising. This city ral times suffered from freshets, of these has ever of itself achieved disturbing magnitude; but for the presence of the obstructing Long Bridge, the melt- ing snow and ice would have moved swiftly to the ocean without doing damage to any city property. The dam-like character of the Long Bridge has been evident for many years. Engineers have reported adversely to its existence and “there has been strong public demand for its removal and for the construction in its place of a bridge that would be regarded as reputable in a vil- lage. It is inexcusable that the District of Columbia should be compelied to spend a good deal of money whenever there is much ice in the river with the hope that ener- getic effort may prevent the formation of a gorge at the Long Bridge. ———+ «= —__ Everywhere are heard expressions of great joy at the arrival in New York of the long-delayed Atlantic liner La Gascogne with all its crew and passengers. Coming, as this delay did, so soon after the awful catastrophe to the steamer Elbe, it created more of general interest and anxlety than it perhaps would have done under normal conditions. For the past three or four days, Europe and America have waited eagerly for tidings of the missing ship and when the news of {ts appearance was spread abroad there was jubilation in thousands of hearts. The first Informa- tion in this city of La Gascogne’s being sighted was given out by The Star's bulle- tin; which was speedily the focal point of very many pairs of eyes. Local concern was stimulated by the fact that a Wash- ington family was on board the French liner and was safe. —____+++—___—_ It Is to be supposed that the Cleveland- Hill reconciliation is where the people in- terested can put their hands on it, should an emergency cause it to be needed. If Senator Hill applies to a menu the same keen analysis that he bestows on a legislative measure, his gastronomic in- dorsements mean a good deal. —__+++—____ The prediction of another blizzard for this month makes the weather-prophet’s well-established reputation for tnaccuracy a cause for general rejoicing. ~ —_—_<-+_- ‘The statesmanship of this country is suf- fering from an over production in criticism and a scarcity in the line of originative talent. > >—__ What New York claims to be striving for in her Sunday regulations is a good, quiet neutral tint; not too red and not too blue.
