THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAROH 20, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. 4 WASHINGTON. WEPNESDAY... -March 20, 1895. CROSBY 8S. NOYES..... +++.-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Was! ton dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. oid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR show! mot be a ed to any individual connected office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Dep: ments, according to tenor or purpose. There is no reason to doubt that Sccre- tary Gresham has indicated to the Ha- wailan government that Minister Thurston lias become persona non grata. The sever- ance of relations between Mr. Thurston end this government is unfortunate, for during a very trying period Mr. Thurston has demonstrated his great ability as the representative of the young republic at the capital of its nearest and most in- timate neighbor. The special action on Mr. Thurston’s part, upon which the re- quest for his recall is based, is not defi- nitely and certainly known. Nothing has been suggested, however, which compares in seriousness of violation of diplomatic rules with the recent action of the Italian minister in communicating directly with the governor of Colorado, or that of the Spanish minister in nis public expressions during the recent excitement over the Allianca affair, in respect to which Secretary Gresham has, properly enough, preserved his self-control. Until sometning is learned to the contrary the public verdict will be that Secretary Gresham's action is the culmination of a case of mutual and personal incompatibility between him and Mr. Thurston, and that the Secretary is making a mountain out of a mole-hill, in order to be rid of a minister whom he per- sonally dislikes, but whose entire course in this country has been marked by dignity, tact, ability and patriotic zeal for nis coun- try'’s welfare. If our government is to permit personal prejudice to cause it to embarrass the young and troubled republic, and no for- bearance or sympathetic consideration is to be shown in dealing with it and its rep- resentative, there is of course no reason to expect Hawail to pursue a more mag- nanimous course. It would be* reasonable for Mr. Willis to expect the handing to him of his own passport, for the American minister in carrying out the policy of Mr. Cleveland end his Secretary of State when they endeavored to restore Mrs. Dominis to the throne, and when they interfered with the recent treason trfals, has inevita- bly made himself obnoxious to the Hawail- an authorities. It is well understood, of course, that in any controversy over Ha- wallan affairs the administration does not represent the nation, and this fact robs anything that it may do‘in respect to Ha- waii of much of its significance. —_~+e____ To some minds it may appear that Jus- tlece went very blind when’ she convicted two West Virginians who had hoped to buy green. goods and who were disap- pointed, and then allowed one of the swin- diers to go free. The fault is not in convicting the former but in acquitting the latter. It must be remembered that men who try to buy counterfeit money, or who hope to get hold of gen- ulne money in the midst of the transaction are swindlers at heart just as are the men who lure them on. Every individual con- cerned in green-goods games should be put away from harm for a long period. It should not be that the law only permitted a trial of the men on the charge of carry- ing concealed weapons, though that is a serlous enough offense. The green-goods game is so old, and has been exposed so many times that there fs no excuse for any man of intelligence being caught by the glittering promises of wealth that the clever circulars sent out by the swindlers hold out to the greedy countrymen. A few more cases like that which has just been tried here, if the latter is pushed to the end, as proposed by Judge Miller, will go far toward breaking up the game alto- gether. ———__+++_____ Word comes that the Eastern Shore peach crop is not only safe, but that it promises to beat all records for size and quality. This is good news. No longer will the annual tidings from Delaware shock the fruit lovers of the country as of yore. With a new Delaware in the peach field that state’s yearly freeze will not be half so appalling. ———+ee—____ ‘The unyielding support given by his’ fol- lowers to the senatorial candidacy of Mr. Addicks affords one of the most fouching instances of devotion known to politics. It would be strange if even Mr. Addicks, worldly and calculating man though he may be, has not been touched. —_—_+++—____. Before going into an agreement as to. which is the wickedest city in the country, Chicago and St. Louis might do well to note the claims which Jackson City pre- sents for condensed immorality. —__+++____ Li Hung Chang Is likely to find the olive- branch which he is now carrying into Japan cne of the most expensive decora- ticns in which he ever invested. —_+ ++ ____ This is the twenty-eighth day over three years of work on the city post office butld- ing, and there were one hundred and thir- teen men laboring there today. —_—__~++____ The police force of New York city has been singularly active and prominent of late in providing business for the Grand Jury. ——++e___ ‘There are horrible suspicions in New York that Mr. Platt is camping on Dr. Park- hurst’s lecture trail with a literary bureau. —_+ eo ____ Another instance of the carelessness of legislation enacted at the end of a session of Congress has come to hand in the mat- ter of the provision in the sundry civil bill regarding the establishment of a children’s play-ground en the ellipse south of the fxecutive Mansion. As the law ngw stands in strict construction it carries no appro- priation for the preparation of this play- ground or for its care and maintenance during the next fiscal year. The item is as follows: “For improvement of grounds north and south of Executive Mansion, five thousand dollars; and the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds shall authorize the use of a portion of the sround within the circle south of the Ex. ecutive Mansion for a children’s play- ground, under regulations to be prescribed iby him.” The experience with the play- grounds that were established on the Monument lot about five years ago shows that watchmen and policemen are neces- sary for the preservation of good crder on the grounds and to prevent the encroach- ment of rough characters. Several thou- sand dollars should have been appropriated by the sundry ctvil bill for this purpose. It is probable that without a fund for the employment of patrolmen the grounds will be overrun by undesirable men and women, and by rough boys who will interfere with the rights and comfort of the little ones for whose use the grounds are evidently intended by the law. The White Lot is so tuated that it naturally attracts to it a ther rough element and special precau- tions should be taken from that very fact. If the public play-ground were in another section of the city there would be less need of regulations enforced by watchmen or policemen, but ‘under the existing condi- tions strong restrictions must be placed upon the use of the grounds: if the little ones are to derive any benefit from them. The old plate which was designed as a play-ground for children was usurped by half-grown men and rough boys who used them for base ball and foot ball games to the exclusion, of course, of all smaller fry. There is ground enough in and around the ellipse to give all ages of children every opportunity to indulge in all kinds of sport. Col. Wilson, in whose charge the grounds are put by law, well knows these facts and feels that the absence of an appropriation greatly handicaps him in his earnest desire to give the children of Washington a Preper place for relaxation and exercise. The expenditure of a comparatively small sum would result in the establishment of one of the finest recreation parks for chil- dren in the country and with very little care it could be made not a nuisance but a great source of amusement and benefit. As the case now stands, the children’s play- grcunds will, during the coming summer, be hardly desirable and it is not beyond resson that the President may find it a nvfgance, as it might easily become. A lit- tle forethought and care ii the preparation of the law would have saved this embar- rassment, whichscan by no means be at- tributed to Col. Wilson, for that efficient executive officer foresaw the difficulty and urged that an appropriation be made. ——_+ 0 It is early yet to organize for action that cannot be taken until the next Congress comes into working existence, but the Immigration Restriction League evidently believes in the advantage that comes from taking time by the forelock, for it has pre- pared a bill which is designed to correct some of the worst evils connected with in- discriminate immigration. The bill em- bodies but two of the many possible rem- edies, namely, an increase of the head tax to be imposed upon immigrants on entering the United States to $10, and requiring im- migrants between the ages of fcurteen and sixty years to read and write the English language. The present head-money tax of $1 is in practice collected from the steam- ship companies, who reimburse themselves by increasing the steerage rates. The ex- tremely low rates of steerage passage from Europe to the United States—from $12 to $18—make'it possible for almost any dis- contented pauper to come to this country, while the fares to Australia, South Africa and South America exclude most of such undesirable persons from those countries. The reading and writing qualification, it is claimed, would have excluded 19 per cent of the immigration during the year ending June 30th, 1894. The League regards this as the most important test that can be adopted as a necessary preparation for citizenship and claims for it the merit of being easily and effectively applied. —_~++—____. The adjournment of Congress has dam- aged the news crop some, but so long as the phenomenal poker-hand story holds out there ts no apprehension that it will be a total failure. SHOOTING STARS. Unheralded. When spring arrives the poets speak In most ecstatic terms Of flow'rets, zephyrs and the like, But not a word of germs. A Convert. “I had a long argument wiih Jinx this morning,” said the controversial man, “and I convinced him.” “So he told me.” “Ha! He acknowledged it to you, did he?” “Yes. He said he'd rather be convinced than talked to death, any day.” ° Comfort in Oblivion. “Well,” said a retired member of the Fifty-third Congress, “there's one satisfac- tion in the situation, after all.” “What's that?” “The amateur sculptors won't be tempted to try their hands on a statue of me when I'm dead.” Why He Paused. “I ought to have known better than to come here,” said the departing drummer to the landlord. “I was told beforehand that it was a one-horse hotel.” ell, there’s no use of kicking now,” was the placid response. “No. I just wanted to stop long enough to express my sympathy for the horse.” A Weleome From the Tramp. With joy I greets you, gentle spring; You bids us smile ag’in—- No wood ter saw; no snow ter sweep; No coal to carry in. That Spirit of Accuracy. “What time does the last train leave?” asked the traveler. And the gatekeeper at the Boston depot gave him a haughty look, and replied: “When the road quits business.” A Scientifie Problem, With tyrotoxicon in cream, Trichinae in the meat, . And microbes in the atmosphere, What shall we breathe or eat? ——___+ += —____ That Star Chamber Order. From the New York Evening Telegram. The President appoints the rulers of the natioral capital. They are beholden to him alone. It matters not what the citi- zens may want; the Commissioners, as the rulers are termed, do as they please, so long as they do not offend the President. Several grievances have occurred of late because of this un-American way of gov- erning the city, the last of which brought forth a howl from The Evening Star, the oldest, richest and most conservative news- paper in Washington. It comes of a rule recently passed by the Commissioners for- bidding any member of the city government but the secretary of the commission to give to the press any information what- ever concerning any subject whatever. When, in the exalted wisdom of the Com- missioners—there are three of them—tho press is entitled to anything concerning the way in which these three men run the national capital they will indicate it to their secretary and he will communicate it to the representatives of the press. Here- tofore these representatives have been ad- mitted to the.councils of the Commission- ers, at both the opening and awards of public contracts, and, In fact, to pretty much everything done by the commission. They have had free sway and have been enabled thereby to keep the people of the District fully acquainted with everything concerning the District, and general satis- faction hus resulted—save, apparently, to the Commissioners themselves. Just) why they have issued this remarkable order is unknown, and they decline to be interview- ed on the subject. Hereafter the repre- sentatives of the press wiil not be per- mitted to attend any of the Commission- ers’ meetings, and when bids are open and public contracts are awarded, the press will be most rigidly excluded and guards placed at the doors of the Commissioners’ room for that purpose. It leaked out recently that a case of smallpox had been discov- ered in town; but the health officer almost had a fit when a reporter asked him for particulars of it. When he recovered him- self, he expressed a personal willingness to imply, but said it might cost him his position if he divulged anything without authority from the Commissioners. Just how iong this sort of thing will go on it is impossible to say. When The Star howls about a public nuisance, however, some- thing usually drops. And old, conservative citizens say that either the Commissioners will rescind the obnoxious order, and there- by give the citzens of this city an oppor- tunity to observe the workings of the Com- sion; or the movement to restore the suf- frage form of government will roll on to a swift and certain success. +2 All Arranged, of Course. From the Philadelphia Press. The browbeating of Venezuela ts followed by the browbeating of Nicaragua, and yet Secretary Gresham assured the country that he had arranged the Bluefields matter and that England had acquiesced. Oh, yes, of course. Acquiescence is a British trait. Extraordinary ‘Sale of Notions. HighGradeSmall Wares Below Regular Prices.
