THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY. ......0v0.-000+-- APPEL 22, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES............,-.-Editor. HE 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. trim 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, o the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. It is especially gratifying to note the Steady growth of public interest in all mat- ters where the morality of the national capital is concerned; an increase yesterday conspicuously apparent in several local pul- pits, occupants of which denounced the evils in and resultant from the pernicious racé-track gambling which has been so persistently fought by The Star; for many years. There was a time, and not so long ago, when book-making had legal residence in the heart of the city; when men and women and even young boys could step from one or more of Washington's principal thorougi:fares through open doorways into unconcealed rooms where temptation flaunted itself continually. How much of crime was thus fostered no one knows; how many beings—young and old—were ruined or assisted to ruin by those ex- tremely accessible dens of iniquity even the statistician of criminology can only guess. ‘The struggle that finally ended in the ban- ishment of the book-making establishments was one that called for all the fighting qualitizs to be found in those who would elevate public and private morals to the highest plane. Arrayed against The Star in that notable contest were many tremen- dous influences; some open and not lacking in courage, while others—perhaps more powerful—operated under cover of dark- ness, and not infrequently behind a mask of respectability. A technicality permitted the book-makers to conduct their gambling schemes in a region which, while beyond the city limits, was within the District, and so convenient of access as to be an abiding temptation. Again The Star assailed those strongholds of iniquity, and again were the criminals and quasi-criminals compelled to move on. But though temporarily discour- aged, the gamblers were not entirely de- feated; they crossed the Potomac, and on its western bank—protected by officials whose duty it was to cast them out—they have to a greater or less extent flourished. Then came efforts to establish winter-rac- ing within the bounds of the District of Co- lumbia—the thinnest sort of an excuse for gambling of the most unfair varfety; gam- bling from which the elements of chance were as far as possible eliminated. Here again The Star's duty to the city of Wash- ington imgelled it to vigorous publication, and as a result, through the able and per- sistent activity of District Attorney Birney, the mob ot sharks and thieves and cut- throats were forced to find other fields than the national capital. With the leasing of the Grange Camp grounds en Alexander Island by the racing-book-making combination, the crowd of undesirables found a location which was safe and convenient to this city, and from that malodorous center the crooks and thugs have operated to the danger of all this communi: Not satisfied with hav- ing forced the tough aggregation to resi- dence elsewhere, The Star has continued steadily its warfare, ably reinforced of late by the Washington Times, and throughout it has enjoyed the support of all that is moral in local sentiment. The strife will continue so long as there is a book-maker or any other variety of race-track shark to be fought; there will be no iet up until all such vicious influences are too far removed to work ill to the residents of Washington. ——_—_—_ oo The “investigation” now running its offi- cial course at the District building relative ‘to the right of the Belt Line Company to use the public streets as a stable appears to be progressing. This morning the gen- eral superintendent of the road, accom- panied by his counsel, was granted the privilege of giving his version of the case behind closed doors in the presence of the Mystic Three. Tax-payers and complain- ing citizens were for awhile, and reporters were entirely excluded from this hearing at whieh it is presumed the case of the railroad company in all its intricacy of de- tail and ingenuity of argument was clev- erly pr2sented. The accommodating police force kindly postponed the court proceed- ings, which had been set for this morn- ing, in order to allow the superintendent (who by the way had at his own request not been served with a warrant) to keep his engagement with the District Commis- sioners. Offenders against the public rights and against the laws of the community aro seldom treated with this consideration and Mr. Schoepf should ci agratulate him- self upon holding so high a rank in the corporate world as to receive such extraor- dinary favors. Hearings given by the Commissioners to corporations accused by citizens of infring- ing upon public and private rights are public in their nature, the people are en- titled to be fully informed concerning every detail of such proceedings, and the Com- .missioners fall into a serious blunder in excluding the press and public from what have heretofore been open-and-above-board Proceedings, converting them into the secret sessions of a star-chamber. ed The ability and energy which have been so strongly in evidence in the career of Mr. Kohisaat make it certain that his most recent journalistic venture—the purchase of the Chicago Times-Herald and the Chi- cago Evening Post—will be in every respect successful. Chicago has many busy men in its midst, but those who would travel ahead of Editor Kohlsaat must needs move with tween respectable Washington and the vice | that finds expression in threats and worse than threats against- those whose duty Jt is to preserve the peace and uphold the law. While Sergeant Daley cannot be otherwise than at least inwardly disturbed over the designs of those to whose progress in crime he is an obstacle, he must feel complimented because of his being singled out as the one whose death would be of most importance to the men and women who should today be within the walls of penitentiaries. The attention of Gov. O’Ferrall has repeatedly been called to the fact that at Jackson City and Rosslyn and thereabouts there have for many months past been congregated some of the vilest elements that trouble reputable society to- day. Were those places within the control of the District authorities they would be purified in less than twenty-four hours, but being on the sacred soil of the proudest of states the carnival of trangression con- tues unhindered. When will Virginia awake to a realizing sense of her tacit complicity in murderous wrong-doing? —____+ + _____ Senor Dupuy De Lome, Spain’s principal diplomatic representative to the United States, is opening up a new chapter in his career in a very undiplomatic way. Senor De Lome is in Havana, where for the pres- ent he is engaged in doing what he can to assist the Spanish authorities in quelling the revolution now in progress. The most notable of Senor De Lome’s achievements in Cuba is an interview mainly as to the American press; an interview in which Senor De Lome sows wind enough to guar- antee him a reasonably large whirlwind when the season for reaping arrives. This Castilian grandee declares the American neWspaper to be sensational and gossipy by temperament and custom, and so in- consistent that it cannot be taken in earn- est; furthermore, it does not express the opinion of the government. It is the latter weakness that causes Senor De Lome so much anguish and impels him to utter- ances that in the near future may disturb rim considerably. Apology by an Ameri- can newspaper for the inability or lack-of desire by the American press to represent the government of the United States would be somewhat unseemly—The Star sincerely trusts that Senor De Lome will not insist upon it—but it is entirely proper to briefly cali attention to the difference between the American press and the press which Senor De Lome doubtless regards as ideal, as to this very important particular. It is un- dcubtedly true that the Spanish press re- flects the opinions of the Spanish govern- ment. This is not always so because it is the desire of the press; it is very frequently the result of governmental action of a sort which wovld, in this country, be termed harsh, and that might easily result in revo- lutionary proceedings. In the United States there is none of this, nor is there likely to be any of it, even though its absence should cause Senor De Lome and those who may sympathize with him much an- xiety and many uneasy periods of what might otherwise be delightful existence. —_+--__ In connection with the income tax it Is worth while remembering that the iaw which goes into the Supreme Court too often gets broken at last. _ SOO = Mayor Strong has proved that it 1s pos- sible for a man to be addicted to the cold tea habit and still be entirely confident of where he is at. ——_~+++___ The patriotic American finds it necessary to specify that it ts Mr. Croker’s horse he is hurrahing for; not Mr. Croker.“ ——— There is a prospect that Asiatic geogra- phy will continue to oscillate for some- time. SHOOTING STARS. No Audience. ‘The presidential candidate ‘Now tucks his boom away; ‘The shouters all have gone to see ‘The base ball laddies play. Unutterable. “Do you not sometimes have soulful yearnings which you long to convey in words, but cannot?” asked the sentimental girl. ‘Yes, indeed,” replied the young man. | “I was once dreadfully anxious to send home for money and I didn’t have the price of a telegram.” A Phenomenon, Oh, infant, wondrous is your power, What greater marvel could we seek;, You ask more questions in an hour Than maa can answer in a week. Allowable. “Don’t you think this publication assumes @ good deal in labeling its humorous de- partment ‘Original Jokes?" ‘Not at all. It doesn’t assume to say with whom the jokes were Sriginal.” The Uncertain Public. “There seems to be a limit to the power ef kings, after all,” said Emperor William, morosely. Z “I don’t like te acknowledge that I’m vanquished, but I’m very much afraid I'll have to.” “What is the matter, your higness?” “I’m a little bit disappointed, that’s all. The Napoleon revival and the Trilby craze both prosper beautifully, but my Aegir fad doesn’t seem to get along worth shucks.” Precaution. The emancipated woman was just leav- ing the club. “Here,” said she to the cashier, ‘take this roll of bills and lock them up in the stfe for me.” - “You are very cautious,” said a com- panion, < “Yes. My husband has gotten into the way of going through my bloomers when I am asleep, and I have to be.” The “Washington” Ball Club. Out of the Quaker city, where the grass grows ‘neath your feet, remarkable rapidity; he possesses all the qualities that are necessary to the con- struction of an American man of affairs. — ee If our esteemed cotemporary, the Post, can haye its way in securing the nomina- tion of a southern democrat for the presi- dency, we think Minister Eustis will about fill the bill. Clearly, Mr. Bayard won't do. ee Ninety-seven men were employed today on the city post-office building. The re- duction of force is due probably to the fail- ure of the iron-contractor to do what he promised to do. e+ _—_— Dr. Parkhurst is not getting discouraged; only suspicious. ee There is every appearance of truth in the confession of a criminal, now a prisoner in this city, to the effect that a combination of Jackson City habitues and the desperate element among the unlawful sellers of liquor in this city had plotted to bring about the a: ination of Sergeant Daley, one of the most active and efficient mem- bers of the Metropolitan Police Force. People who are conversant with the shady side of current history in the District of Columbia know how much Sergeant Daley is hated and feared by the lawless, and especially by those who are engaged in the creation and encouragement of vice by the surreptitious selling of intoxicants; it is matter of record how the sergeant has suc- cessfully pursued, without fear or favor, all such offenders. His removal would therefore be, from the standpoint of the criminal, a most desirable happening and with Jaekson City as a rendezvous for Agngerous conspirators, it was not unnat- ural that a plot should be laid to cr’ the efficiency of the force that sta: Where yesterday seems like the future, so slow do their pulses beat; Where the trolley spiders spin their webs to shut out the shining sun, Came a base ball club, and—here lies the rub—they christened it “Washington.” They come with a flourish of trumpets; their wagons parade the street, And the gamins gaze as they go their ways to unvarying defeat. Oh, why leave Philadeiphia,« where they'd smile when you slowly run? A losing score that stands twelve to four is a libel on Washington. A glorious dream is a base ball team, and the public will never fail; But there's little charm in a baby farm where players are raised for sale. And the rooters sigh as the hours go by, “t's bad enough to be done By a gentle flim-flam; but why, oh, why, should they christen you ‘Washing- ton?” +e. ____ A Campaign of Education. From the Philadeiphia Ledger. The President's financial letter has al- ready had the good effect of arousing the “sound money” men of the west and south, inducing them to become as aggressively ‘tive in support of their doctrine as the advocates of free and unlimited silver coin- age have recently been upholding theirs, Besides having that excellent result, it has provoked general public discussion of the most vital questions of the day, Inaugurat- ing a “campaign of education” which can- not fail to have gratifying consequences. To this campaign Secretary Morton’s state- ments of the clear and determined mone- tary policy of the administration is an ex- ceedingly valuable contribution. There {s no other question which so affects the wel- fare of the entire country; none which so ly requires that the proper answer be given it. a pate EE ee ee ee ee .
