NOYES................Editor, THE EVENING STAR has'a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washiigton dailies. As a News and lvertisiug Medium it has no competitor. Im order:‘to: avotdidelays, on ac- count of perabual ase: THE STAR ‘should ‘hot to y individual connected with the office, but uimiply to THE STAR, or to i Editorinl or Business Depart- is, necording to tenor or purpose. A caretwi perusal of tke statements con- tained elsewhere in today’s Star concern- ing the race track and. gambling evils in Alexandria county. Va., cannot but con- vince a great majority of readers that something is*radically wrong in the pollt- ical or personal organization of that county. For months these vile growths upon the social organism have flourished on the south bank of the Potomac until there fs no moral plague spot'in the world more dangerous or more to be feated: It ts lo- cated in Alexandria county for two reasons: the District of Columbia will not tolerate it and Alexandria courty will. What the District has legislated from its borders by Persistent sete of Congress cur neighbors have apparently welcomed and harbored and !ts officials have winked at to the scan- dal of the gocd pecple of the county and the disgust of the rest of the state as well as to the menace of the morals of the Dis- trict. Located as it is.in another jurisdic- ‘Yon the community of thieves, thugs and _gamblers is out of reach of the District au- thorities, who can only apprehend them when they cross the river on casual er- rands and then merely on suspicion. There is almost a total lack of reciprocal effort on the part of the Virginia state and county authorities. The childish pretence is made’ that it is impossible to obtain evidence ugainst these Tesorts, a pretense that is laughable in the light of the numerous complaints that are made to*the Washington police by the vic- tims of the swindlers who are now thriving at Jackson City and at Rosslyn. There is no lack of evidence on this side of the river and there should be no difficulty on the other side in securing evidence making cases against every resort that now runs in open defiance of the law at the south end of Long Bridge. The judg2 of the county is thoroughly aware of the situa- tion, but.in the absence of efficient ma- chinery he ts powerless. The gamblers have Léen located“in the plague spot so long that they have achieved a certain amount of political influence in the county which they use as a weapon with which to defend themselves against possible assaults. It would seera from comparisons that the colony of sharpers grows in size and in power for evil each weck. Jackson City is rapidly becoming a national name. It is getting to be known as the mecca of evil doers, and confidence men and sharpers of every Gescription are coming to it from ali parts of the country knowing by the re- ports sent out that Alexandria county in effect welcomes them within ita borders. The recent upturning of corruption in New York city has undoubtedly driven many from that metropolis, and they in common with the outcasts of other cities and with the hangers-on at winter race tracks ex- pelled from New Jersey and other states are coming. south, glad of this golden op- portunity to suck at the veins of so large and prosperous community as Washing- ton.ton. The proximity to Washington makes this city the principal victim, and yet its police authorities are powerless. Alexandria county also suffers repute and ip material prosperity, but he or unwilling to abate the nuisance. Virginia is disgraced, but remains inactive. If the barriers of the imaginary political line which divides the District from the state of Virginia could be wiped away for one week there is no doubt that every vestige of the vile dens at Jackson City and at Rosslyn would, under the influence of the energy end determination of the Washington Police, melt like sncw befare the sun. The law in Virginia is as strict as the Jaw in the District. If there were a lack of law to cover these cases the situation would be changed. The fault would then lie with the legislature of Virginia. There is some question as it is whether the legis- lature has not been too liberal in the mat- ter of establishing the race track, but there is a posiiive injunction on the statute books of the state against all forms of gambling, & most sweeping law under which scores if not hundreds of individuals could be prosecuted and undoubtedly con- victed. The trouble is not in the law but in the non-enforcement of the law. If the law- abiding citizens of Alexandria county are in earnest in the matter, and have onc-half of the evidénce of official misconduct which they claim to have. they can bring the ac- cused officials‘: at once before the county court, and if these officials are convicted’ they can be removed. Complaming citizens should promptly make gcod thelr words by this action. It will not do for the good people of Alexandria county and for the various functionaries of the state and county to shift the responsibility for Jack- son Cit? from one. to another and su evade the perkaps unpledsant duty of incurring the displeasure of a colony of outlaws and malefactors. Alexandria county at the pres- ent, time is in little less than a state of anarchy. Its laws are violated every hour, its statutes are thrown to the winds. Anar- chy, which means no law, ts preferable to the possession of laws that are the objects of common scorn. Of what use are protestations of a will- ingpess to do what there is no lack of op- portunity to do, but which is left undone? Let the state of Virginia and the people and officials of Alexandria county abandon at once this lamentable, this scandalous, this injurious inaction! 00 The Commissioners have not rescinded the news-suppregsing order. Verbally and theoretically that speech-prohibiting in- Junction still threatens the District em- ployes, the loval press, and the public in- terest. But the Cummifsstoners have indi- cated and announced that its most strin- gent and vital prohibitions may be disre- garded with impunity and will not be en- forced. Consequently everybody is a trifle happy; the press because it may get some news; the public because it may enjoy the benefit of the knowledge of its municipal af- fairs, which is derived from some publicity in respect thereto; the District employes because they breathe more easily unmuz- sled, and the Commissioners because the order has not been rescinded. —-+ ++ —___ The news from the Dominion of Canada is disquieting. At Ottawa there are signs of a general disintegration of the cabinet, and at Winnipeg there is every evidence of @ determination on the part of the provin- cial legislature to resist the recent order of the Dominion government for the re-es- tablishment of parochial schools. There is guch a serious condition et the bottom of these two facts that developments of un- sual importance ‘may be expected in the coming months, Canada is n3t a harmon- ious confederation:and the present trouble rings to light the real cause of the weak- hess of the organization of that ccleny. It composed of eleven provinces, among fick Quebec holds the balance of power politics and it is owing to the peculiar ature of the population of this province t the present trouble is of such serious roportions. This region was settled by the ench and ig today a strictly French bolony. Its people are clannish, jealous of their rights and shrew1. The use of the French language is‘authorizéd'in the courts and in the province the relations between church and state, the Church of Rome and the state cf Engiend, are. official and strong. Every census of recent years has shown that the Freii¢h-Canadians are ia a plurality among -the various nationalities in the total population of the Dominion and being aggressive HaVé “kdvanidetf’ vhety "th: fluence and have caused,the, growth.of an intens? jealovsy on the part of the Engiish- speaking sections bf the eétiitry. The race antagonism as well as the religious rivalry may be found in every part of the Dominion. Under these’ eireumstantes, therefore, any crisis. caused by or bear- ing upon the question of religious schools is certain to rend Canada: im’ a-tremend- ous internal struggle, the outcome of which is of the greatest importance to ite peopie of the American continent.~ The people of Manitoba, as rorenited by tkeir legislature, have been notiiied by the central government’ of::the-“Jeminion, which bears the same relation te the pro- vinelal governments that the adiriist¥a- tion at Washington dees-to-the states of the Union, of the adoption of an order in council’ requiring them to” etiact’ Fémidlal legislation that will-re-establizsh the church schools, abclished in 1890. This re-opens the entire question ‘of religidu# #chvdts and has wrought the people of Manitoba, who are mostly protestants, to unusual excite- ment. They have’ practically declined to obey the order thqugh the question will not be finally disposed of until May, when the legislature will revassemble. In the-mean- time affairs will be so shaping themselves at Ottawa that matters must core to a head by that time. The-reported vesigna- tion of Sir Charles Tupper from the cabi- net may be fdllowed ‘by others, and there are hints of the resignation of the premier, which will necessitate a complete reorgani- zation of the central government or ‘cab- inet. . The utterances in the Manitoba legislature and by the liberal press gener- ally indicate that only @ spark is needed to send the flame of antagonism sweeping through the Dominion. These matters have a direct and interest- ing bearing on the whole question of an- nexation of Carada to the United States. Annexation ia not the issue most nearly-in point in Caradian polities, as will be seen by the present excitement, but it is always @ possibility and is.of great.moment .to the peoples of Nova Scotid and New Brunswick who, having Httle in common with the French people of Quebec, are more, nearly assimilated to the social structure of this government even though they are political- ly separate. Quebec or French Canada would probably never be a willing party to annexation with the United States, and it is doubtful if the most ardent friends of Canadian acquisition really desire the in- corporation of so foreign a colony into the body politic of the Unit2d States. ‘Thus the fnal settlement of the parochial school ques- tion, remote as it.may now seem from the question of political union, is bound to have a bearing on the latter problem, for in the controversy and perhaps the strife that is almost sure to come in Canada hetween the French and the English ‘speaking peoples, it is hardly possible that line3 will not be drawn and parties created suggesting po- litical annexation as the remedy for the domestic difficulty. Many classes of the people in Canada are even now ready to solve the problem by annexation. The com- plete confederation of all the classes in Canada is impossible and the present crisis aad all that it portends indizate. the fu- tility of the hope that harmoniosus colonial organization can ever be accomplished. The present Episcopal diocese of Mary- land has just received’a legacy which may result in the consummation of the plan to divide that diocese into the dioceses of Baltimore and Washington. Bishop Paret has made it a condition precedent to this: division that each of the proposed new dioceses shall raise an endowment fund to provide for the increased episcopal ex- penses, without raising the assessments upon the parishes, the amount necessary being $50,000 in each case. Of that sum Washington has already raised about $45,000, while Baltimore has as yet done but little. The presence of the bishop of Mary- land in that city probabiy took from the Episcopalians of Baltimore much of the incentive that inspired the Washingtonians in their efforts to secure a resident bishop. Bishop Paret has now been notified by New York bankers that $93,000 is in their hands subject to his order. This-money is a legacy from Mrs. C. Spaight Keerl, who was a native of Baltimore, and there is now at hand, in this donation, which is one of the largest ever given to the-church in this country, the means of establishing the endowment fund “which has been needed. There is an excellent prospect that the Washington of the near future will have both its Episcopal bishop and its Episcopal Cathedral. —_—_++2____ It is right for Japan to grant an urm- stice to China.

Of the various complications confronting the State Department the most troublesome is that of Great Britain's demand upon the Nicaraguan government for $75,000 for in- dignities to British citizens. It is thought that should the English back up their claim with a bombardment this government would interfere. The announcement from Cuba that the commander of the Condi de Venadito, who fired on the Allianca, has been relieved from his command, and that orders have been issued by Spain to re- spect American commerce, has caused ‘The new Spanish min- ister, Senor Depuy de Lome, will start for America April 4, stopping in Cuba on-his way. In Philadelphia the launch of the steamer St. Paul did not take place, be- cause the vessel could not be moved from the ways. Henry L. Haupt, president of the Montana Mining, Loan and Investment Company, is being tried in the United States court in Butte for swindling on an extensive scale. Maj.

The celebration of Prince Bismarck’s birthday was begun by a visit from 400 members of the German reichstag and Prussian diet; Emperor Wil- Ham visited Bismarck and presented him with a sword of honor. The house of com- mons adopted a resolution to give home rule to England, Scotland and Wales. Chol- era _is reported among the Japanese troops at Port Arthur. It is said that Gen. Reyes defeated the rebels March 15 at Ensiso, Colombia, killing half their troops; the re- bellion is reported ended. British warships have been ordered to proceed to Formosa. The new telegraph line connecting Man- delay, Burmah, with Pekin, was opened. A ‘statement by Sir Edward Grey in the British house of commons that an advance of the French into the territory of the Niger, belonging to the Royal Niger Company, would be an unfriendly act, caused a sensation in France and England, and is regarded as indicating strained relations between the two governments. The order of the do- minion government to the Manitoba legis- lature to grant remedial legislation to the Catholics in restoring the privileges. they enjoyed before the abolition of the paro- chial schools in 1890 was read In the legis- lature, but met with opposition on the part of Premier Greenway. In the District. Arguments were- begun on Monday and continued Tuesday in the Debs case before the Supreme Court. Paymaster General Smith of the army was retired, and Col. T. H. Stanton appcinted in his place. The President appointed ex-Representative Outhwaite of Ohio a member of the board of ordnance and fortifications. Lycurgus Dalton, for many years postmaster of the House, died on Sunday. Maj. J. G. D. Knight of the corps of engineers. was designated to take charge of the Washing- ton aqueduct upon the retirement of Col, George H. Elliot, which takes place to- morrow. Mr. Thurston, Hawailan minister, Teft the city for Honolulu. On Tuesday fire destroyed considerable property in a dry goods store in Southeast Washington. George Bahen, the foot ball player of. Georgetown College who was injured in the Thanksgiving day game, died at the Emergency Hospital 6n the 26th. The next day the coroner’s jury, after an inquest, returned a verdict that Bahen came to his death on account of “foul play.” The verdict created considerable surprise. The officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany notified Maj. Davis of the engineer department of their willingness to repair the Long bridge causeway, which has for a long time been in_bad condition. The 1llth session of the Baltimore conference of the M. E. Church South was begun at the Mount Vernon Church on Wednesday. ‘The board of trade held a most interesting meeting and listened to several addresses on the need of a comprehensive codification of the District laws. Resolutions were adopted empowering a committee to take preliminary steps looking to this achieve- ment. On Thursday afternoon the District Commissioners caused the walls of the new school house being erected in Southeast Washington to be examined in the presence of a board of experts to ascertain the truth or falsity of charges preferred against the integrity of the work by the Federation of Labor. The charges were found to be unwarranted, and the experts so reported to the Commissioners. The Secretary of the Interior decided that the Commission- ers have not the power to establish a ward for the treatment of contagious diseases on the grounds of the Freedmen’s Hospital. The will of the late Fred. Douglass was filed, but seemed to be defective in some formal particulars. Mary Delaney, the wo- man who was accused of setting fire to two Catholic churches, was arraigned for that crime. After exhaustive inquiry into her case Judge Miller declared her of un- sound mind, and certified her as such to the Secretary of the Interior. ——_ + ____ SHOOTING STARS.
