THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY March 13, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. .Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In 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 the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. Attorney General Olney has spared a lit- tle time from his defense of the odious in- come-tax law to make a soundly sensible decision in regard to the presence of troops in New Orleans during ‘the levee war. The New Orleans authorities, having taken no steps themselves beyond the ordinary and totally inadequate police .precautions to quell the riots, appealed to the government for ald. In the absence of the President, Mr. Olney decided without further consul- tation that the federal troops could not be sent until the state had exhausted all her resources to keep the peace. The reports so far received indicated that the state had practically done nothing, and the refusal for the present of the Attorney General to act Is to be commended. There is no ques- tion that the situation at New Orleans was very serious, and the governor had appar- ently been negligent. To appeal to the President for aid was a natural thing to do, but it was a too obvious attempt to shift the responsibility for the ordering of troops upon the shoulders of the national administration. When New Orleans and Louisiana have made a serious effort to check the rioting and to punish the rioters and have failed, the application to the United States for assistance should be re- newed. —- 2 In the absence of any explanation from the Cuban authorities of the action of the Spanish war ship in firing at the United States mail steamer Alliagca there is ex- cellent ground for believing that there has been a violation of international courtesy. According to the captain and passengers of the versel, she was considerably beyond the three-mile limit, within which she might be considered as being subject to the surveillance of the Cuban government. This last condition, however, would prevail only under a state of war, but the United States is not now officially cognizant of the existence of any strife in Cuba. It is at peace with Spain and does not know Cuba as being in a state of belligerency. From all the circumstances it would appear as though the act were that of a hasty, in- considerate commander who, imagining the Allianca to be a possible filibusterer, un- dertook to stop her by firing at first blank and then solid shots. The latter for- tunately did no damage, but this does not affect the question in point as to whether the Spanish government, through its agents, has not inadvertently or other- wise insulted the flag and endangered the peaceful carrying of international mails. It is altogether probable that when all the facts have been laid before both gov- ernments an ample apology will be made by Spain for what appears to have been a stupid blunder. ———_~ ee ____ By exposing an absurdity in the statutes, a Louisiana judge, while showing his dis- gust ior prize fighting, has been forced to decide that there is nothing in the law to prevent the Olympic Club of New Orleans from holding exhibitions and conducting so-called championship contests. This opinion settles a case that has been pend- ing for over a year and permits the club to resume its contests. The court concluded that the act ef 1890, which was supposed to be designed to punish prize-fighting in the state of Louisiana, virtualjy permits it by the uncertainty of its terms. He character- ized the statute as a piece of legislative fraud and mendacity, and said that it practically makes prize-fighting a legiti- mate business and a domestic industry. He found that a prize fight is a glove contest without gloves, and that a glove contest is a prize fight with gloves; that in each case there is a duel with fists, for a prize; in each there is maiming and blood-shed- ding, and in each brutality and danger to life and limb. Therefore he declared that the statute which prohibited prize-fighting while permitting giove contests is a mock- ery and he set it aside as useless. This de- cision will go far towards clearing the legal atmosphere in this matter. A bad statute has been denounced by a fearless judge and perhaps an effective law will now take its place. ——+ + +____ It would be hard on the zolons who re- cently investigated the gas question for the Senate if it should turn out that the new illuminant called “acetylene” can really be made, ready to be used, for about five cents a thousand cubic feet. After months of consideration the Senate Dis- trict eommittee came to the conclusion at the very end of the session that gas vannot profitably be manufactured in the District for less than $1.25 a thousand. The pre- liminary reports from the new gas, which is not a new gas at all, but an old friend with new processes of manufacture, show, it is sald, that it is In some respects super- ior to coal or oil gas, being of higher illu- minating power and producing only about one-half the heat. The gas, it is reported, may be liquified and sold in cans ready to be attached to the supply pipe. Perhaps the gas industry is about to be revolutionized. ——_ ++ + ____ In demonstrating the power of organiza- tion by Iabor the Springfield Republican calls attention to the fact that although the labor unions of New York state in 1894 had a combined membership of but 135,303, a small proportion only of the working people In that commonwealth, yet the unions combined have a considerable political influence. “And when they strike,” continues the Republican, “they make the industrial world stand on its head.” The industrial world did seem to turn a good many somersaults and to do a good deal of reversionary acrobatics in the vicinity of Brooklyn last winter when a few of the unions went on 2 strike because with good reasen they were not wholly pleased with the management of the local street car companies. Indeed it is to be feared that a large part of the industrial world of Brooklyn is standing on its head yet, and that the lebor organizations of the City of Churches have not succeeded in getting their feet on solid ground to this day. Combined labor will be a greater political factor when it begins to realize that the value of a strike is not in proportion to the frequency of such demonstrations, be- coming more effective with each recur- rence. Op the other hand, like any other powerful, radical remedy, it loses its force with each repetition of the dose. Physi- cians testify that medicine loses its power for good as the constitution becomes accus- tomed to its use. Were the ordering of strikes made a matter of more difficulty and responsibility there would be fewer of these agitations, which almost invariably fail to produce the desired result. The cus- tomary flocd of strike literature that has followed the Brooklyn troubles, which is always to be expected after each of these disturbances, brings to hand a great mass of figures to show the loss to the state, the community and the individual by reason of these elmcst useless struggles. The fis- eal cost of the Brooklyn strike fs estimated in the millions. Its real cost, however, will probably never be known, for there will continue to be suffering among the men THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY; MARCH 13, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, who participated end their families for many months to come, and in addition to the purely financial cost of the strike there is to be counted the great injury done to LANSBURCH & BRO. the children of the misguided men who lost their positions by following the bad advice of their leaders. The loss of the maintaining salary of the head of the fam- ily results in throwing these children out of school and upon the streets in an effort to contribute to the support of the house- hold. There they may learn to be self- reliant men and women, but the chances are far greater that they will yield to the other influences that lead to lower grades of life. So it is a moral as much an economic question that is yet to be answered when the query is put: Does it pay to strike? There is no doubt of the value of organiza- tien among all classes of laboring men; trades unions are as necessary as incor- pcerations of capital. Men of common pur- suits, instincts and testes banded together under good leadership will improve them- selves as surely as there is the natural tendency in man to better his condition, but with bad leaders and with mistaken notions of the functions of organization the workingmen of America cannot help themselves. It would seem to be true that few of the managers of strikes ever realize the ‘tremendous responsibility that rests with them when they begin to consider the advisability of ordering-out their followers. They are in a sense more responsible than the leader of a political revolution, for the latter attracts to his standard at first only the disaffected elements of society, and history shows that the men who flock to the first call of rebellion have little to lose and all to gain from success. On the other hand, the participants in a strike, which is a revolution against a corporation or an employer, are necessarily in a position to lose their all by failure and to gain noth- ing except in the rarest cases. The chances are decidedly against the striker. A strike is a lottery in which the tickets are ex- pensive, and which has no capital prizes. ——__ + = —__ Some valuable posthumous papers of the late unlamented Fifty-third Congress have just been discovered and printed, forming an interesting appendix to the records of that unique body. Number 69 of volume 27 of the Congressional Record, dated five days after the expiration of the session, has just been received. It is exceptionally thrilling, containing the final chapters of several hair-raising serial stories that have been running through the pages all winter. One writer, who signs himself “Hon. Joseph D. Sayers of Texas,” has two whole pages of figures designed to show that the budgets have been reduced under demo- cratic rule. This is supposed to be a speech that was delivered on March 4, as is also the next paper, written by “Hon. D. B. Henderson of Iowa,” two pages and a half in length, intended to show that the ap- propriations were really increased under the democratic rule. Next follow four pages of discourse by “Hon. James C. Mc- Dearmon of Tennessee,” on the currency, crowded out of the report of che proceed- ings of St. Valentine’s Day. It is not cer- tain who wrote the headline, “Beware of Obnoxious Taxation!” that stands uver the remarks of “Hon. Richard Bartholdt of Missouri” delivered on February 5. It may have been that mysterious man, the egitor of the Record. The index of the rest of this priceless relic contains such spell- binding names and topics as these: Mad- dox on the late Senator Colquitt; Tate en ditto; Springer on the Monetary Confer- ence; Boatner on the Pacific Railroads; Cooper (ind.) on Pensions; Grosvenor on Money, and on the Tennessee Centennial; and Pettigrew on the Hawaiian Cable. The gem of the lot is a delicate little brochure by Cooper (ind.) on the Tariff, in which that statesman dissects the entire subject in thirty-two brief lines. As a “left-over” proof sheet this issue of the Record is a success. ——__+ + +>____ It is stated that Mr. Cleveland’s outing is not costing the government a cent. That he pays for his own powder and provisions, and that the Violet was going into the ducking territory anyhow. But it will be very difficult to convince a large number of Ccngressmen that his abrupt method of taking leave of absence was justifiable and proper. eed Seventy-four artisans labored today on the city post-office building in a gallant ef- fort to discredit The Star's original esti- mate that the building will probably be completed by August 17, 1906. They do not appear to be equal to the task. —> ¢-—___—_ ‘There are many readers of the press who would be just as well pleased if the ambi- tion of the Goulds and Vanderbilts to keep their private affairs out of the newspapers could be gratified. —_—__++2-___ It will not be his fault if the American ycung man with money in the course of time makes a practice of marrying only European ycung women with ancestry. —__- roe Mr. Sibley is likely to discover that it is much easier to organize a presidential cir- ‘\ cus than it is to pay the freight. \ —_—__ = __.
