4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY... -April 27, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent eireniation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. Asa News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. clin order avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoo! not be addressed to any individaal connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR. or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor oF purpose. ‘Timely action like’ that of the “Board of ‘Trade last night on the charities question 1g always more effective in bringing about satisfactory solutions of great problems than that which is forced by sudden emer- gencies. The three steps taken by the Board indicate a growing desire on the part of the business.men to be rid of crude, temporary methods of handling the ques- tion of charitable rel’ef. The lack of sys- tem has long been painfully apparent, and each of the three projects that were adopt- ed by the Board is worthy of constdera- tion and trial. The two details of afford- ing relief known as the Detroit and the Indianapolis plans were properly adopted by the Board as wise preliminaries to any general scheme of charity work that may be established later. These two plans may te regarded as referring of necessity only to the coming summer and winter. The Detroit plan had to be adopted at once to be effectively put in operation this season, and the Board was wise to start the subscription for the purchase of sred. ‘There are two things now needed, money to buy the seeds and tools and land on which to use them. Proffers of both money and land should be forthcoming without delay, and there is every reason to believe that the scheme will work as well here as it did in Detroit, and as it promises to work in New York and the other cities where {t has been adopted this season. As to the Indlanapol's plan there was not the same need of haste, but it was the part of wisdom to get action on this suggestion while the Board was considering the whole broad question of charities. There nay be features in both plans which it -vill bo found desirable to change later to suit local conditions. The Board in adopting these plans merely approved the fundamental ideas therein contained. In respect to the important question of the readjustment of the entire plan of local charitable work, the community agreed with the first superintendent of char‘ties, when, .after thorough, impartial and expert investigation, he decided and announced that in view f:loeal conditions the superintendent could not perform the useful functions “which ‘the law contem- plated, and recommended his own offictal decapitation and the performance of the systematizing labors of his office by a board of citizens. Nothing has happened since that time to change the public sentl- ment upon the questton. Congress ‘lid not make the proposed. change of system at a time when it was favored both by the peo- ple and by “thé 6mciat~ concerned, and it may be still less likely to take such action now or in the immediate future. Never- theless the policy which the Board advo- cates is both sound and popular, and the business men do well to push ahead with vigor on the right path, undismayed by the certainty of many obstacles to be over- cme before suecess can be attained. ——____++«____ Washingtonians who have been justly proud of the elevated character of our lo- cal public institutions are naturally dis- turbed at the weakness which has been so conspicuously developed during the past few days at the Girls’ Reform School. That some or even all'the inmates of that school should display willingness to-create a dis- turbance is not at all surprising, but that the’ management of the institution should be such as to render it easy for the riot- ously inclined to work their own sweet will is good cause for astonishment. It is fair to presume that as an immediate re- sult of the outbreak—whicli threatened the Hfe of one of the officers and that resulted in her being painfully injured— there will be revision of the regulations in accord with which the institution is gov- erned. To suggest amendments to the rules might, in the absence of complete knowl- edge as to the causes which brought about the disturbance, be regarded by the school’s governing authorities as unwarranted in- terference with their business, but in view of the revelations that have succeeded the attempts at arsou afid’murder it may not be entirely improper to intimate that there has been entirely too much of refined senti- mentalism in the methods of discipline em- ployed. .Moral’suasion is the most exalted of those forees by which rational beings may be controlled, but there are very many persons who do not respond to precept or coaxing, and among these will, it is quite likely, be found those who for good and sufficient reasons have been sentenced to terms of tmprisonment in the Girls’ Reform School: Of ‘course it will be argued that the day for physical discipline has de- parted, but even should that statement be made it by no means follows that the state- ment is true; such punishment must always be more or less of a necessity so long as there are in existence people who cannot be governed by moral suasion. That the members of tke board of trustees and the executive officials of the school should ap- ply themselves. to the mental and moral elevation of the vicious or unfortunate who are placed in their keeping is an evident necessity; but in view of what has hap- pened at the school of late the efficacy of the system employed may well be ques- tloned Many very intelligent persons find it difficult to disasgociate physical discipline and brutality, but there Is nevertheless no . Necessary relationship between the two. It has been clearly established that the methods. which work admirably with the cultivat:d students at Wellesley and Vas- sar and Smith are absolutely no good when applied to an’ institution the inmates of which are, as a rule, as vilely degraded as the youthful among dissolute women pos- sibly can be. It may be profitable for the school authorities to bear these facts in mind. —_++-_____ Having landed the game single-handed Japan feels that there is altogether too much willingness to assist at the carving. —_+¢ + _____ If the world’s peace was immediately threatened by a combination of foreign powers, and tf full and official publication of that fact by the State Department would make certain the instant development of widespread and active warfare, then there would be good reason for such secrecy as is common in that branch of our government which is supposed to be de- voted to the art of diplomacy. But when there is no topic under discussion that can be regarded as of extraordinary interna- tional interest, the mysterious methods and elusive practices of our “foreign office” are without shadow of excuse. Es- pecially mysterious have been the move- ments of the State Department in connec- tion with the English demand for in- demnity and Nicaragua’s endeavors to elther postpone or avoid payment of the sum arbitrarily named as necessary by the British authorities. The popular im- pression in the United States has, from the time of the Bluefields trouble, been that this government would surely have some- thing to say gs to the settlement of the trouble; the impression was undoubtedly well founded, but an inscrutable Secretary, surrounded by mystic attendants and alded by enigmatical subordinates at the court of St. James, has succeeded in veiling its acts from the public ey». This dispos!- tion to be conspicuously unfathomable has always been more or less in evidence in our State Department, but the condition has of late been so aggravated and so aggravating that the people who are inter- ested in national and international affairs have lost a good deal of patience and are reasonably complaining because the State Department delights to mislead rather than inform those whom it ought to serve. There is marked contrast between the method in Washington and the method in some of the diplomatic centers in Europe, notably London. Downing street is quite libera! in its distribution of facts as to the policy of the British government abroad; there the authorities see to it that the truth is made plainly public at the earliest Possible opportunity. Here the effort is all to conceal, and if by any chance a searcher after news should uncover a scrap of hid- den information, it is the common practice of the department to do what it can to pervert or befog cr in some way cr other so muddle the information that it will be as nearly as possible meaningless. Of course the facts are known in time, but they are invariably stored away until pub- lc interest in them is practically at an end; exceptions to this rule cnly occur when the administration has what it thinks may be a good campaign document on hand, and then the American public is treated to more of. information and argu- ment than it knows what to do with. Stu- dents of government must surely find it dificult to understand why the subjects of a monarch are so frequently taken into the monarch’s confidence, while the citizens of @ republic are kept in the dark by a few selected fellow-citizens upon whom repre- sentative and executive powers have been bestowed. It is a- remarkable fact that most, if not all, of the news we have had as to American action or suggestion in connection with the Nicaraguan imbrogllo has come to this country by the way of London and through tke liberal policy of publication which is a feature of British diplomacy. —__ + e+ American Americans will find solid food for thought in the letter of The Star's cor- respondent at Honolulu which is printed elsewhere in this issue. With a thorough knowledge of the facts and probabilities, “Kamehameha” discusses the likelihood of immediate extension of Japanese power in the Pacific. He shows the precise move- ment of currents that are not easily to be seen from our point of view and makes it clearly apparent that the trend of senti- ment in Hawaii is slowly but surely toward Great Britain as the power most likely to save the islands from the victorious and probably over-confident Japanese. ‘Those few Americans who have support2d the administration in its dealings with Hawali will, as a-matter ofcourse, sneer at the possibility of Hawall becoming a part of the Japanese empire, but ‘men who have studied the character of China's conquer- ors know their. aggressiveness, and are satisfied that peace with the Flowery King- dom will surely be followed by efforts to increase Japanese influence and add to the jiational wealthe Hawalt could not be oth- erwise than @ desirable possession for any naval power, and to Japan it ‘would be ex- tremely vafitfbte. It is not likely that our present administration, would care to inter- fere in case the Japanese do what the peo- ple of Hawail"think theywHP attempt, but Japanese success will he anyhow impus- sible, for before the ‘Yankees of the cast” could reach out and grasp the prize, “the meteor flag of England” would float over every island in the group; and it “would do so with the consent ef even the Americans who have made Hawali their home. “Ka- mehamehd’s’** letter-"will: repay careful perusal. It ts almost Incredible that the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia should have declared by unanimous vote of its mem- bers that Belva Lockwood could not prac- tice before its bar. Many years ago the question of the admission of women to legal practice was settled, not only in the public mind, but by the admission of Mrs. Lockwood, and, later, of other women law- yers, to the courts of most of the northern states, and Mrs.‘ Lockwood herself has been admitted to practice by the predeces- sor of the very ccurt that now seeks to exclude her from éqi/al ‘privileges with her male colleagues in the profession. The United States Supreme Court does not hesi- tate to listen to legal arguments from ‘women, and it seems very like a -retro- grecsive step now for the highest court of so old a state as Virginia to shut its gates against a woman. Women lawyers are becoming Véry nuni¢rous fn New York, and the law.-sehools ‘have their modern Portias. If the question were a new one, if the capacity of a woman to try a case in an orderly. and respectful manner were in doubt, if there. were any, general pro- test from the bench and bar against the innovation, there might be some shadow of excuse for this remarkable action. As it is there is: so little reason in the pro- ceedings that Mrs. Lockwood will proba- bly have thé sympathy 6f lawyers and citizens alike--throughout~ the country. There is some, question, too, as to the right of the court to exclude from practice a lawyer who has already been admitted to the bar by the same court, though dif- ferently constituted. + ¢-2 _ The readers of Kate Field’s brilliant “Washington” will greatly miss that pop- ular journal during its temporary suspen- sicn, but they will regret even more the cause of that suspension—Miss Field's broken health, the result of “grip” and overwork.

From the New York Herald. In nothing is public popularity a more ab- solute standard of success than @in the newspaper business. When a newspaper is the leading advertising medium its superior- ity over its competitors is distinctly proven, for advertisers give preference to a journal only because they know that its circulation is better than that of any other. THE WEEK. The United States Supreme Court passed an order setting May G as the date for ar- gument upon the application for a rehearing in the income tax cases. Justice Jackson will be in Washington and will sit with the court.

Prominent coal operators in the fifth Ohio district, includ-} ing the largest fields in eastern Ohio, are looking: for a general strike of miners after May 1 on account of wages. Mrs, M. T. Mack was identified at Hamilton, Ontario, as Mrs. Tinsa McMillan, who was a mem- ber of the Chicago gang of stamp counter- feiters, and she will be extradited and taken back elther to Chicago or Buffalo for trial. The indictment against the officers of the Fidelity Butlding and Loan Associa- tion of Washington, on the charge of con- spiracy to. defraud, was quashed in Pitts- burg, because it failed to specify the year in which the alleged acts were committed. Foreign. The dispute between England and Nicar- agua over the indemnity demanded hy the former fcr indignities to British citizens at Bluefields, on the Mosquito coast, reached a crisis; two British warships arrived at Corinto, Nicaragua, to enforce the claims set forth in the ultimatum. Three days were given, at the expiration of which time it was said the British forces would land and seize the government buildings. Secretary Gresham informed the Nicaragu- an minister that the United States would not interfere in the dispute. The adminis- tration held that England's attitude was not a menace to the Monroe doctrine. The Emperor of Japan issued a proclamation expressing satisfaction at the terms of peace and rejoicing at Japan’s victories, which he declared have enhanced the glory of the empire. He also expressed the hope that after the exchange of ratifications friend- ship should be -restored between the na- tions. France, Russia and Germany have advised Japan that possession of the Liao Tong Peninsula, claimed by Japan, would be a constant merace to permanent peace in the east. The Japanese government is. reported to have informed Russia that if she yielded to the exactions of Russia, France and Germany not to occupy any of the mainland she would expose herself to a revolution.
