8 = THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. : WASHINGTON. WUESDAY................. April 16, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES «+++--Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circuintion much more than the corabined circulation. ot the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it hae no competitor. - 7 Im order to ‘old 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 te the Ediforial or Busine: Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. Up to this time Russia’s bluff tn behalf of China appears to be an utter failure, for in spite of all that has been printed in Russia’s official organs and all thai has been done by Russian diplomats, the cold, immovable fact remains that Japan and China are at peace with each other, and on terms that include possession of a con- siderable slice of what prior to the war vas Chinese territory. There is official confirmaticn of the statement that a treaty of peace has today been signed at Shimo- ncsekl, ani it is announced that the treaty provides for the independence of Corea, the permanent cession of Formosa to Japan, the retention by the Japanese of all the conquered places, and of the ter- ritory east of the Liao river, the payment by China of an indemnity of $10,000,000, and, most important of all, an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan. This latter provision is of much greater consequence to Russia and to the ether European powers interested in the ezst than all the remainder of the treaty combined. The independence of Corea could not seriously interfere with any of Russia's known plans, nor would Japanese posses- sion of captured territory be a menace to any of Europe’s commercial schemes, but the offensive and defenstve alliance will prevent any combination of England, France, Russia or Germany with the celestials for the purpose of numbling the Japanese or to shut out less favored na- ticrs—especially the United States—from the rich markets that are slowly but surely being opened up in the hitherto almost in- accessible empire. Controlled by Japan there will soon be in the east one of the Wcrid’s greatest military and naval power: tar from civilized it will be for many years, but capable, nevertheless, of caring for it- self and of compelling world-wide respect. It is possible that China may teel as though the Japanese demands are exorbi- tant, but thoughtful and unprejudiced peo- ple must admit that there ts now prospect of more material and immediate success for China than would have been a possi- Lility within the next fifty years had the Chinese people been left to their own de- vices. —~+e—___. In the public interest The Star suggests that the District Commissioners and the authorized representatives of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company: lay aside their minor diiferences of opinion, come to- gether in a practical, business conference and by so doing provide the public with the safe-guards” which are needed along the tracks operated in the District by the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad. The court has decided that the regulations framed and Promulgated by the Commissioners for the purpose of compelling steam railroad cor- Porations to erect fences and equip cross- ings with safety-gates and watchmen are void, thus technically releasing the rail- road companies of legal responsibility. It is made evident in the news columns of The Star today that but « little while ago the Baltimore and Ohio Company expressed willingness to do whatever could be re- garded as necessary to protect the public from dangers incidental to grade crossings; the willingness extending beyond the limits of what could be required under the strict terms of the law. The public safety should be the first consideration, and neither the Commissioners nor the railroad authorities should permit any feeling of personal re- sentment to postpone for a single day the protection of the lives and limbs of citizens which is promised by these safeguards. —_—__~ +> ___ It is noted by some observer that the de- bating society and the literary circle are again coming into vogue through the coun- try and he draws from this phenomenon optimistic deducticns, saying that the de- hating seciety is a sure index of the state of the public mind. There is no question that in the debating society young men and women learn much that is useful to them. In these days of great activity and intense interest in public questions the lyceum or debating club can be made an excellent training school for the future citizen. Women, too, are such factors in the public welfare just now that they find a natural place in that company. Intel- ligent reading of the newspapers, followed by well regulated, sensible discussion of the merits of matters of timely interest, stimulates healthy activities of the brain and makes men more amenable to good laws, and more ready to protest sensibly against bad ones. Many dangerous tenden- efes of the present day may be offset by the spread of intelligence among the masses, through the schools, through the news- papers, and through the associations of . Men and women in all parts of the country for mutual improvement and enlighten- ment. In such a country as this the de- bating club has aa excellent function. ——___+ +«__. On the day when the Supreme Court of the United States made public its conglom- erate decision on the income tax, The Star editorially suggested the advisability of a rehearing of that important cause. Since then it has daily become more evident that a rehearing is absolutely necessary, for without it there will be no possibility of avoiding serious complications. The court was organized, as all such tribunals should be, so as to prevent indecision, but the in- disposition of Justice Jackson left the court evenly divided on a momentous question. It is hoped that Justice Jackson may soon be well enough to come to Washington, if only to hear the arguments and record his judgment as to this particular matter. —___+ «+ ___ Major McKinley ts justified in having his own opinion of the President's disposition to put the currency so far to the front as @ political issue. soo Corbett and Fitzsimmons have been sileat for so long that it is feared they are not on speaking terms, and may «ctuaiiy come to blows. —___-+ ++ ____ As a boss, Mr. Platt grows more and more uneasy. > 6 _____ It ts a curious phase of the general mud- @le-sover the income-tax law that the first move to apply that plece of vague legisla- tion to the fraternity of gamblers should be made in Kentucky. Collector Desha Breck- inridge has the honor of originating the cpinion that this class of citizens is covered by the act, and the final decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue will be awaited with some interest. It cannot be thought that such an effort, if successful in the beginning, will net the government any considerable revenue, for the number of gamblers who make an annual “rake-oft” of over $4,000 is very small indeed. Then, ,too, they can hardly be expected to be “strictly accurate if their returns, and there ,{8 no known method of proving charges of ;felee returns against them. Collector (Breckinridge, however, goes too far, it igeems, when he undertakes to establish the ‘princ&le that while the winnings of the gamblers are to be taxed, his losings must not act as a set-off against the sum total of earnings. In other words, it Is to be, according to the eollector’s theory of tax.- ticn, and In the language of the fraternity itself, a “dead open and shut.” The gov- ernment simply cannot lose. Of course, there will be little sympathy in the minds cf the people for the gamblers if they should finally fall under this rule, but as business principle it is not an equitable Proposition to disregard the losings while taxing the winnings. If the tax thus ap- piied were a part of a general movement to disccurage gambling there would be some reason in it, but as the case stands the idea 1s but one more illustration of the ab- surd looseness of the law, the negligence shown in its construction, and the impos- sibility of logical consistency in its applica- tion. Public confidence in the measure is now so thoroughly shaken that a few more such absurdities can do no harm. 0 Ground with White Figures” and White Ground with Blue ——_~ ++ Until recently the ‘rush of seekers after homes has been to the far west—a great wave of anxious humanity has swept across prairie and mountain to find a place where labor would bring forth sufficient remuneration. That much of the migration Wag unreasoning and to some extent un- wise has been shown very clearly and now comes definite information that there is in prospect an extensive movement from the middle west to the southeast. Nego- tlations are about concluded for the pur- chase by a syndicate of an enormous tract of land In one of the southern Atlantic states; land which ts to be occupied by northern and northwestern farmers who have not been entirely successful and who feel as though their efforts would be more Profitable were they put forth in a latitude rich in rain and sunshine.

The Buffalo Express is always doing something creditable in the way of fine il- lustration, and it comes up fully to its Figh standard in this respect by a recent issue, in which it pictorially sets forth the veried beauties of Buffalo as a business and residence city.

The Express is enjoy- ing continued and increasing prosperity, and well deserves its great popularity. —_——__+ ++ __—_ One hundred and one men were employed today on the walls of the new post-oflice building.
