THE EVENING STAR. 2 WASHINGTON. MONDAY. April 29, 1895. CROSBY S. 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 ft has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of person: absence, letters to not be addressed 1 connected with the oftice, | but simply to THE STAR, or to the’ Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Both the city of Washington and the state of Virginia have suffered much be- cause of the vicious influences that have been centralized in and issued from the Tiver-bank settlements closely adjacent to the national capital, but up to this time the crusade against the evil has not re- sulted in betterment of the dangerous con- ditions existing just across the Potomac. Were Alexandria county within the limits of the District of Columbia there would, it is safe to aver, be no problem io solve, but as Alexandria county is a part of the proud state of Virginia—‘‘the mother of Presidents’”—application of remedial meas- ures must be made by the Virginia authori- ties. The governor is fully aware of the evil which is being wrought, but makes it plain that repressive action cannot be taken until the county officials declare themselves unable to cope with the situation; the county officials are evidently not over- anxious to disturb what may possibly be a narrowly-profitable state of affairs, so be- tween the two stuvis taw has fallen to dhe ground. The evil conditions characterizing Jack- son City, Rosslyn and the outlay tracks, ard the damage resulting therefrom to the reputation of Virginia, the comfort and the financial interests of residents and preperty owners in Alexandria county, and the moral welfare of the capital have been vividly and repeatedly described, and a thoroughly informed and enthusiastic pub- Lc sentiment is enlisted in this crusade. No more words of denunciation are neces- sary; the time has come for action. What are the practical steps by which this nuisance can be abated? The method most quickly available and most effective, if successful, is for citizens of Alexandria county—only a few are needed—to bring county officials, alleged to be recreant, be- fore the county court, under statutory proceedings resembling an impeachment. If only a fraction of what citizens say privately can be established by evidence the problem of getting rid of reform-ob- structing officials would be easily and speedily solved. If citizens are afraid to take this bold and open and _ possibly semewhat dangerous course they can quietly accomplish the same result at the county elections, which occur next month. Either at the polls or through the county court Alexandria county should provide itself with officials who will crush this evil, or confess their lack of power and appeal to Governor O’Ferrall for the as- sistance of the state. ‘There exists here a natural tendency to trans-Potomac growth. Many a Washing- tonian in search of a site for a suburban heme looks with favor toward the at- tractive Virginia shore, but turns away in disgust when he notes the character of many of those who would be his neighbors through failure to enforce the law. All the immediate remedies are in the hands of the people of Alexandria county. ——_—__+ es __ Some of the enthusiasts as to municipal reform (and there are few subjects on which to be more properly enthusiastic) are apparently looking forward to great and beneficent changes in the government of New York as consequences naturally to fol- low upon the appointment of Theodore Roosevelt as a member of the board of police commissioners. That Mr. Roosevelt is a convicting and converting power is well known and it is quite reasonable to believe that in appointing him to such an import- ant position Mayor Strong has taken into his official family one who can hardly fail to improve considerably conditions that have been disgraceful alike to the city of New York and the country generally, but it may easily be that those who are merely theoretical reformers are in danger of ex- pecting too much as the result of his ap- pointment. In such a city as New York— so long governed by rings and combines— anything like general and instantaneous good b:havior would be hardly less than miracuious. It is in the police department that Mr. Roosevelt refining influence will mainly be felt and it is reasonable to sup- pose that with sypmathetic associates he will not find it difficult to give New York city a better police force than any it has ever had, but the friends of reform should not fall into the error of crediting Mr. Rcesevelt with omnipotence. He is strong— mentally, morally and physically; his fear- lessness is everywhere conceded; but after all he is only one man and should not be called upon to succeed where even a com- bination of ten thousand good men might easily fail. A —_ A portrait of Queen Victoria, which, it is said, cost $11,000, was sold at auction in New York a few days ago, and was Knocked down for the pitiful sum of $130. The picture probably cost nothing near the amount named, but the fact that there were only two bidders for it indicates a surprising want of patriotism in the bosom of English residents in this country and an equally surprising lack of toadyism on the part of the Anglomaniacs of our own population. Mrs. Wettin is a nice enough old lady, as queens go, but her ministers have been doing such things and saying such things lately that she is likely to lose some of her popularity on this side of the Atlantic. This circumstance may indeed have had something to do with the slump in the picture market. ———_ e+ -____ The question which now agitates the scuthern countries is whether the Monroe doctrine is still in force; if so, how much? ee The fact that this country’s course has won the hearty approval of Great Britain is not conclusively reass' <> ¢ ee --—__ The Brooklyn trolley firmly refuses to make its farewell appearance in tragedy. ge ae The possibility of the establishment of a republic in England is rather remote just now, but it seems as though is of Wales was preparing even for that em He has gency. started out on a cru- sade, which, if successful, woul] fairly en- title him to the presidency of the vaguely- prospective republic. Himself a long-suf- fering victim of the tipping habit, he at last rebelled and fs now the acknowl- edged leader of those who have planned to look coldly at the waiter or porter or other variety of servant who may want to know whether the guest hasn’t “for- gotten something.” It is unfortunately true that the tipping custom has estab- lished itself quite firmly on this side of the Atlantic; in some places it 1s so prevaient as to give those who have traveled abroad the impression that they are anywhere but at home. The system that has made tip- ping a possibility and that encourages its existence is without the support of a single rational argument. It may be urged that waiters and others who render small serv- ices in hotels and restaurants and barber shops are insufficlently remunerated by their legitimate employers. The same plea could be made in behalf of very many peo- rote o ut those materials have not = yet attempted to assess the patronising public ‘for the purpose of making up the deficiency. Things have now come, even in the United States, to such a pass that the one -who refrains from giving tips recelves_ scant attention and no courtesy, while the lavish scatterer of dimes and quarters and of more valuable coins’ is..never neglected. For this the immediate beneficiaries—thos> who are tipped—can hardly be blamed; they feel the need of additional compensation and they naturally make the iarger in- vestments of suavity and activity where there is most promise of profit. The blame should be placed wholly upon the shoulders of those employers who underpay thelr help and then turn them loose upon pa- trons who pay liberally for all service when they settle at the cashier’s desk. There is very little of Anglomaniac sentiment in this country, but if Albert Edward suc- ceeds in destroying the tipping system he can secure a good deal of enthusiastic American support in any campaign he may elect to participate in. —__- + 0 = —____ But for the fact that the Westport com- mon council has commenced a crusade against the bloomer costume of some of the lady bicycle riders, a great many people in this well-informed -country would never have been aware of the existence of West- port, which fs, it appears, a little town in Missouri. The absurdity of any such ordi- nance as that which the Westport council is said to contemplate has been apparent to rational beings for many years, yet every little while some diminutive community bobs up its fll-balanced head and attracts Momentary attention to itself by an absurd effort at restrictive legislation. It would be interesting to study the characters of the men who make or support such proposi- tions. The possibilities favor their being guilty of offenses much more serious than that committed by a woman who elects to wear a costume which, if decently made, is in every respect preferable to the street costume ordinarily worn by American wo- mankind. It is quite likely that some of the most fanatical of the anti-bloomer members of Westport’s council go out be- tween the acts at theaters, to the great dis- comfiture of all the people who may happen to be between them and the aisle; or that they occupy more room than they are en- titled to in the street car, or stand on the rear platform and blow smoke in the faces of ladies who pass in and out of the ve- icle. The bloomerites might be tempted to undertake petty retaliatory legislation. ft is rather strange that many of the American newspapers that are now en- gaged in praising Great Britain for its firmness in dealing with “an insignificant country like Nicaragu: be the very journals that yelled “coward,” “bully” and such-like epithets at their own government when President Harrison talked in a bust- ness-like manner to impertinent Chile. — 2 —__—_ Miss Gould’s father-in-law in his pub- lished impressions of America gently tn- timates that there are a great many punctiliously honest American citiens who never succeed in getting to be United States Senators. ——____+ + = ____— Justice Brewer, in his remarks on the conditions under which manufactured ar- ticles are patentable, neglected to convey any informatior as to the status of war news in this connection. —____ «+ ___ The Emperor William is painting a pic- ture.
