THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY.......Febraary 13, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES.... Editor. ee THE EVENING STAR has a regalar and permanent circulation uch more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to t Editorial or Business Depart- mefits, according to tenor or purpose. If the stim of $10,000 appropriated for charitable purposes is not directly availa- ble for the employment of those who suffer at this time because employment is lacking, it may nevertheless do much good; for it can be used in relieving those of the des- titute who, doubly unfortunate, are unable to work even should opportunity to labor be afforded. Every one who is interested in the deplorable condition of many of the residents of this city must regret uncer- tainty in the terms used in making the appropriation, for expensive experience bas established beyond question the desirability of saving as much as possible the self- respect of those who are compelled to re- ceive either from the municipality or from their more fortunate fellow-beings the charitable assistance which they need. It seems, however, to have been decided that this particular sum of $10,000 is to be dis- bursed in the old-fashioned way, and as there must necessarily be a good deal cf such disbursement it will take the place cf money raised by the canvassing committce of the citizens’ Central Relief Committee, leaving the direct contributions of the people to be spent to a corresponding amount in providing the work for which hundreds of Washingtonians are eagerly waiting. It is perhaps too late, for this season, to construct a fairly comprehensive system of relief in which provision will be made for the earning of every dollar dis- tributed—that should be work for the menths that will intervene between the present and next winter—but so far as pos- sible there should be adherence to the only charitable practice that discourages pavperism. It is not easy to preach against promiscuous giving at a time when there is so much of suffering as now exists with- in the District of Columbia, but-no one can reasonably take exception to the statement that many a good citizen in needy circum- stances was started on a career that ended in the alms house by the thoughtless be- nevolence of philanthropists whose inten- tions were beyond criticism. Most of the real sufferers in Washington want remu- nerative employment, not charity. som Elsewhere In The Star will be found an eloquent appeal by Frederick Douglass in behalf of the excellent industrial school for colored youth at Manassas, Va., which has just suffered a terrible loss in the burning of its main building. This school, which has been created and put into suc- cessful operation largely through the un- tiring personal exertions of Miss Jane E. Thompson, well known in this city as a teacher of the first rank, has had the earn- est indorsement and substantial support of philanthropists like Miss Emily How- land of New York, Rev. Edward Hale of Boston and others of like character in Washington and throughout the country. It is not doubted that this urgent appeal to the benevolent for funds to prevent the closing of this school, which promises such an extended career of usefulness, will meet with an adequate response. The Star will very cheerfully receive and forward any ecntributions to this most deserving object. +02 -— The raising of the Great Falls dam and the increase of the Capital's water supply, which the welfare of Washington urgently demands, are obstructed and delayed by the proposal of superfiuous investigation into the condition of the aqueduct. If, at the bottom of the unjust, unfounded and injurious doubt that has been thrown on the strength of the aqueduct that Meigs built, and Washingtonians have always been proud of, there is anything occult or selfish, it will all be known sometime, and The Star promises to assist its suffering readers on Capitol Hill and other high parts of the eity, in discovering and ex- posing the author of it, whether corporate or individual. No man and no corporation can afford to shoulder the responsibility for causing or aggravating the water famine which threatens Washington. + o« - ——_ Sunshine has succeeded storm, and where for days even the most active among man- kind have been compelled to inaction there is now evidence of renewed interest in labor. Today there were employed on the «new city post-office building twenty-five men. Should there be no serious inter- ference by the weather, the new post- office may be ready for business be- fore the clese of the present century, but unless there is speedy increase of the force the chances are that it will not be possible to purchase stamps or to procure money orders or register letters in the building prior to August 17, 1906. ———_ +e —___ The untiring efforts of the newspapers have not yet been successful in impressing the fact that speculation with borrowed money is almost as deadly as the green goods game. ——— + __. The thermometer in Denver went one day to 20 degrees below zero and back to 20 above. The climate in that region displays all the eccentricities of a populist boom. ——__ ++ —___ There are good grounds for a supersti- tion that it Is very unlucky for a man to be long in the market and short in his ac- counts at the same time. see Messrs, Debs, Pennoyer, Altgeld and Waite are at present giving great satisfac- tion in af glorious quartette of silence. ———__ + e + The judiciary department of the new Ha- wailan Republic starts in with a rush of business. _ ooo During the past week or so there have come into mushroom existence two local athletic clubs that have no other excuse for being than the financial advantage that will undoubtedly accrue tm case the pro- ceedings of these organizations are not In- terfered with by the police. These clubs have already given public exhibitions that were just ag brutal as any this city has ever known, and it is fair to presume that similar programs will be presented so long as the authorities permit. For such dis- graceful performances as were given re- cently in Marini’s Hall and in Georgetown the police alone are responsible, for it is nothing more than reasonable to expect that so long as those who are supposed to be conservators of law and order are care- less or wilfully blind, advantage will be taken of such an fmproper condition of affairs by those who are willing to violate the statutes, provided there ts little or no risk and a suffictency of financial recom- pense. It cannot be argued im behalf of the police that the department fs ignorant of the existence of authority for the sup- pression of these so-called glove contests, for recently The Star printed a copy of an order, issed some years ago by the District Comm ers, which provides “that the major and superintendent of Metropolitan Police D. C. shall prevent exhibitions which tend to brutality or assume in any degree the character of @ prize fight, or where money is wagered upon the result.” There bas been no revocation of that order, so It should be just as potent as it ever was. Is there any conflict in the minds of those who are responsible for the conduct of our police force as to whether the exhibitions that are criticised by all decent people do or do not tend to brutality? Is it imagined at police headquarters or at precinct head- quarters that those who belong to the sporting element pay two or three dollars each to see half a dozen or more sluggers spar for points? Is it police opinion that the men who issue from the slums to do within the apartments of so-called athletic clubs what would cause their immediate arrest in an alley do so for any other than knock-out purposes? “Or assume in any degree the character of a prize fight” is of the language of the order, yet the police who are present at these mills—there are always three or four of them on hand— evidently see no reason why they should interfere although the entire proceedings are precisely similar to those common at prize fights; essentially there is no differ- ence whatever in the details. Washington is a respectable city. It has no sympathy with anything brutal or degraded. Its tendencies are ever toward moral and ma- terial betterment; the two varieties being closely related. It wants its police force to do the duty for which that police force is engaged and paid. 5 ——- +e —___ Discussing “true American ideals” in the Forum, Theodore Roosevelt points out the @angers of inconsiderate wealth. Hereto- fore it has been a widespread and perhaps popular doctrine that our institutions were menaced by the lawless elements among the discontented of our working classes and by the ignorant poor who have always made unwelcome appearance whenever there was threat of physical disturbance, but Mr. Roosevelt has reversed the lever and sounded a note of warning which will surely not be unheeded. To him there ts not in the world a more ignoble character than the mere money-getting American, “Insensible to every duty, regardless of every principle, bent only on amassing a fortune, and putting his fortune only to the basest uses—whether these uses be to speculate in stocks and wreck railroads himself, or to allow his son to lead a life of fcolish and expensive idleness and gross debauchery, or to purchase some scoundrel of high social position, foreign or native, for his daughter.” It is a reasonable con- clusion that such men are “equally care- less of the workingmen, whom they op- press, and of the state, whose existence they imperil.” It is well that only a few of these enormously wealthy and extreme- Jy undesirable citizens are in existence, but it is an indisputable fact that a very large proportion of our population sees in such men only material for admiration and emu- lation. The mere fact that they have ac- quired vast property rights overshadows and hides from the average eye the means by which so much of wealth was acquired. Few sensible and upright citizens will take issue with Mr. Roosevelt's statement that the foes of order harm quite as much by example as by what they actually accom- plish, and when the truth of that allega- tion is admitted, there can be no disputing the proposition that it applies equally to the criminals of the wealthy classes and the agitators who seek by more than in- temperate language to assail the law and destroy even semblance of order; of the two, the agitator is the less dangerous—a rational belief, emphasized by Mr. Roose- velt, who says: “The conscienceless stock speculator who acquires wealth-by swindling his fellows, by debauching judges and corrupting legis- latures, and who ends his days with the reputation of being among the richest men in America, exerts over the minds of the rising generation an influence worse than that of the Tage murderer or bandit, because his career is even more dazzling in its success, and even more dangerous in its effects upon the community.” The lesson to be learned is very plain. Instead of exalting wealth for wealth’s sake, the educative effort should be first toward good citizenship, for when the good citizen becomes possessed of great finan- cial power he does not demand unreason- able tribute from those through whom and by whom much of his greatness is created. —___+ e+ ___—_ SHOOTING STARS, Compliments of the Season. A frosty lace upon the pane, Where rainbow fancies fleet and shine— So lavish Nature sends again Her pretty, useless valentine. A Conspicuous Figure. “Billy Blivens has won distinction in Kentucky.” “Of what kind?” “Nobody calls him ‘judge’ or ‘major.’ He is the only man in Fis county that people address as ‘mister.’”” “*Casionally,” said Uncle Eben, “er young man seems a heap mo’ willin’ ter spen’ money on valentines foh er young lady dan he fs ter settle de grocery bill after he marries ber.” The Great Regret.

He should have realized at the start that he hadn’t the capital for any such enterprise. Warning. For ages, Pan, your pipes’ rich chords Have varied with the varying season; What jocund majors spring affords! What minors wafl with wintry reason! But do not fail, good Pan, to think King Blizzard holds respect for no man; And even gods, perchance, must shrink When he declares himself a foeman. And so with care your pipes dispose Where they’ll keep warm until the sum- mer; Or, like ag not you'll find them froze— And then you'll have to pay a plumber. ——_+ += ____ The Honolulu Correspondence of The Star. From the Honolulu Advertiser, Jan. 30. ‘The admirable letter of the Honolulu cor- respondent of the Washington Star, pub- lished in that paper of January 15, stated very clearly the political situation here, at the time it was written, and the possibility of an outbreak in the near future. No statement could have been made more op- pertunely, as a prelude to the telegraphic news of the rebellion in Honolulu, which was published in the same Washington paper of the 19th instant. The public in that city had been so well posted in ad- vance, that when the news carried by the Alameda reached there by telegraph, the exact situation here was known, and the ccllapse of all the plans of the deluded rebels foreshadowed with remarkable ac- curacy. ————___~+ ++ ___. Fiat Money in China, From the New York World. It appears that in China the idea of flat money is about three thousand years old. In this ancient empire any banker ts per- mitted to issue his notes according to the per capita demand of those in the neigh- horhood who are willing to accept them. The great difference between the flat money of China and that occasionally proposed for adoption in this country is that nobody 1s obliged to accept the Chinese fiat money unless he wants to. In this respect China is about three thousand years ahead of certain parts of the United States. McKnew’s Daily Letter.
