THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, ‘APRIL 4, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVE WASHINGTON ‘THURSDAY April 4, 1595. CROSBY 8S. 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. (71m order to avoid delays, on ac- to count of personal absence, letter: THE STAR 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. It is ane to learn that the Wash- ington and Georgetown ra!lway has gone so far in obedience to law as to contract for suitable fenders, and that at some time in the future the community will surely enjoy, so far as this road is concerned, the pro- tection which such fenders give. If this company had convinced the Commissioners of the sincerity of its effort to thus equip its cars, and of the impossibility of making this change by the date fixed, the Commis- sioners might well have stated to the public their conclusions on the subject and, on or before April first, have openly extended the time at the expiration of which the penalty for non-compliance would attach. By so doing they would have prevented the company from falling within the cate- gory of violators of a municipal regulation, and would have rendered unnecessary an inquiry of the company as to whether it had obeyed tha law, which could only be answered in the negative. It is evident that the Washington and Georgetown road intends to equip itself with the necessary fenders, and judging from the thorough manner in which that road has made its other improvements the fenders will be en- tirely satisfactory when once secured. But the fact remains as a result of the action of the Commissioners and of the railways that Washington, while it boasts 4 regulation which commands under pen- alty all rapid transit street cars to be equipped today with certain fenders, en- joys only a promise of these fenders from one road and no actual fenders at all from any of them. on ae The day of paper collars passed away some years ago, and though paper is used today in many more forms than were ever dreamed of a few decades buck that cheap article of haberdashery has almost disap- peared from the taarke But there is promise that it will have a worthy suc- cessor In the paper sock, which is the latest novelty to be ground out of the pulp mill, fle mechanism has been perfected to produce a paper yarn of such consist- ency that it is capable of being woven into fabrics scft enough for wear. A special merit is the cheapness of this newly-de- vised material, sccks being produced at a retail price of about three cents a pair. At this rate there is no reason why the whole world rcay not be supplied with foot cover- No longer will the market value of sockless statesmen from the wes: be high; no longer will Lare feet be emblems of hon- est poverty. Statesmen may make con- tracts with pulp mills to grind their own speeches into hosiery, and there will be plenty of excuse in such a future for Tlorida senators to take their boots off while on duty. At thres cents a pair the bachelor’s life will become giadsome and happy. It is saii that substances can be used tn the preperation of this material to make the socks so impervious to water that they can stand several washings before falling apart. This, too, is a great boon. May the three-cent paper sock have a ready market! May it be followed by a ten-cent paper shoe! —____ + = —___ Private information has come to this country from Honolulu that Mrs. Lydia Dominis has accepted the situation very philosophically and is making merry in ler enforced retirement from the public view. She has been provided with a native woman as an attendant‘ and the twain are reported to have some jolly times together, mostly passing their hours in singing and dancing. There's a beautiful resignation to fate! Mrs. Dominis has apparently learned well the lesson of the past few months. She seems determined to be happy, even though her great amd good friend of the American administration ts beyond her reach. Life is not an utter blank, nor a dreary waste. To be sure, her avoirdupols is not exactly suited to the terpischorean art, and it is hardly to be thought that she fs treading the famous Measure that was brought from Hawati to the great fair. Yet it ts barely possible that she may be now in training for a grand American tour as po: ly the only royal jigger on the boards. She would surely succeed in attracting large audi- ences, as by the time of the expiration of her present contract with the Hawaiian re- public she would doubtless have become quite proficieat. At all events her suc- cess as a dancer would unquestionably far outstrip that which she attained as a crowned head. ———_ seo It is only fair to Commissioner Ross, . President of the District board of Commis- stoners, to say that he is not in the least In sympathy with the policy of secrecy and news-suppression which crystallized in the notorious star-chamber order. It is also probably only fair to Commissioner Powell to say that he is not individually re- sponsible for the policy or the order. —- oe The Star trusts that Postmaster General Wilson is fully alive to the fact that one of the crying needs of this country is a star- spangled postage stamp with better mucil- age on the back of it. —_- + +_____ The abandoned farm of New England was one of the first of the signs of a national tendency toward concentration in the large cities of the republic. Today the statisti- clans and the statesmen of the middle west as well as of the north-east are worry- ing their brains over the problem of how to keep the people on the farms. The great cities are swallowing up the rural popula- tion and the country is no better for it. Many thcusands of the new citizens come from other, continents, but it is a long demonstratéd fact that the cities are grad- ually absorbing much of the rural popula- tion. The natural increase of the race and the tide of immigration cannot account for all the swelling of the ranks of urban dwellers. This means that a gradual chenge of the greatest significance is tak- ing place throughout the country. Mr. Herry J. Fletcher in the April Forum touches upon this question in a paper on “The Doom of the Small Town,” in which he shows conclusively that there has been and still is a considerable shrinkage in the villages of the north central states. He mertions Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan in particular and gives statistics to show that in those states there is a ten- dency for the townships to dwindle in size. In the five states named there were, accord- ing to the census of 1890, 6,291 townships. Less than one-hatf of these, 3,008, gained in Pepulation in the ten years preceding, while 8,144 lost population, and 144 re- meined stationary. Mr. Fletcher thinks that discriminating rates in railroad freights are largely the cause of this shrinkage and he goes on to show that as far as the agricultural population is con- cerned they cannot compete with the far- mers of the west, who are able to do bust- ress on a much greater scale and can com- mand rates of transportation quite out of Preportion to the distances to be covered. Another element at the bottom of this concentration is the tendency of small manufacturers to join hands with one an- other and to get near the centers of trade, to avail themselves of urban rates for ma- terials and in many cases to purchase new and cheaper forms of motive power that are not to be found in smaller cities and villages. The following description by Mr. Fletcher of the emigration from the vil- lages will probably be recognized as true by those who have lived in late years in the sméller towns of the north and east: “One by one, family by family, their inhabitants slip away in search of other homes; a steady but hardly perceptible emigration takes. away the young, the hopeful, the ambitious. There remain behind the super- ennuated, the feeble, the dull, the stagnant rich who will risk nothing, the n’er-do-wells who have nothing to risk. Enough workers remain to till the soil, to manage the dis- tribution of food and clothing, and to trans- &ct the common business of life; but the world’s work is done elsewhere.” It is not a pleasant prospect to face. One of the chief delights of the America of the past has been the quiet, prosperous villages that have dotted the country between the great centers, conservative and comforta- ble, peaceful and pleasant to dwell in, training schools it may be’ for the greater marts of the world, but good schools for most of the young and a sufficient arena for a large proportion of their elders. The village life is more apt to be wholesome than the city life. But it could not well last under the forcing-bed conditions of the latter-day civilization. As Mr. Fletcher says in his interesting paper the youth of villages no longer have facilities for learn- ing trades. They must go to town to ob- tain means of earning a livelihood. There they find industrial schools and there they find a market, too, for their talents which a village can never afford. The end of all this is net easy to see. It is hardly possible for the country to develop forever on these lines. There must be some medial state be- tween urban and rural life. There must be some limit to the size to which cities can grow and to the isolation of the country be- yond them. When is the tide to turn? ——___+ e+ People in Washington will be interested in the announcement that the President has chosen Maj. William Ludlow of the army corps of engineers as a member of the board of survey to visit Nicaragua and report on the plan for the inter-oceanic canal. Maj Ludlow is well remembered in ‘Washington as District Commissioner and for the introduction of some very military methods into the machinery of the District government. There has never been any doubt as to Maj. Ludlow’s skill as an en- gineer or his great ability as an executive officer of a somewhat dictatorial type. To be sure, he incurred the displeasure of citi- zens by his style of transacting the Dis- trict business, but as late events have proved he was only a little ahead of his time. Maj .Ludlow wouid be an ideal Com- missioner now, under the rules that prevail at the District building, and it must be highly gratifying to him to receive this somewhat belated indorsement of his no- tions df how to govern a city. —— There is no disputing the fact that the new city post office has lately been a ver- itable hive of industry. There were today one hundred and eleven men at work there. The average daily force on the Congres- sional Library building used to be four hundred men, but that was altogether a different story. ~____2 0 = It is hoped that it will not be necessary to restrain the people who are exhibiting a disposition to rush forward and pay their income tax by threatening them with the penalties attached to contempt of the Su- preme Court. + ee _____ If Dr. Parkhurst could get a day off some time he might find a great deal of occupa- tion in his particular line at Jackson City. 2 »—_____ Mr. Platt apparently has a consuming ambition to re-reform the government of New York. —_—__+ ++____ SHOOTING STARS. What He Admired. “What did father say when you asked him for my hand?” asked the young wo- replied Augustus, “he—he did his best to be pleasant. He said there was something about me that he really sd- mired.” “Did he say what?” “Yes. My impudence.” Relinble. “There’s the most reliable tipster on the track,” sald Mr. Tender Foote to a friend at the race track. “He doesn’t seem to help you much.” “No. But I have reason to belfeve that he has been giving me to the bookmakers for a sure thing ever since he first met me.” Reassurance. There is no fear of bankruptcy, Our nation’s purse and pride to touch. For British actors still say: “We Love dear America so mucn!’” Would Have Its Uses. “Poets use some absurd phrases,” sald the sentimental youth, between the acts of the play. “Yes,” replied the sensible girl. “One whose works I was reading today refers to a girl as having a ‘swan-like throat.’ Did you ever observe a swan’s throat and think” what a human being would look.like if she had it?” “Yes,” she replied. “It wouldn’t be nice ordinarily. But it would be very handy to have at the theater sometimes. It might enable one to see around some women’s hats.” The Landlord’s Opportunity. “Mister,” said the man with dejected clothing but a blythesome air, “you're the proprietor of this hotel, aren’t you?” “Yes.” “Well, thing.” “What is it?” “Me. I'll give you a chance ter let me work fer ye. I'll take a position as clerk er cashier or anything; I don’t care. im.a prize, I am, an’ I ain’t hard ter please.” “But I don’t need you. The places are all filled. And you wouldn’t sult anyhow.” “Wouldn’t suit! Dat shows yer don’t know me specialty.” “What's that?’ “I'm a mind reader. All I do is ter wave me hands in front of a guest an’ look in his eyes, an’ I kin tell just how much money he has on him. An’ de man dat makes out de bill does de rest.” Philosophy.
