6 = THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY..... <eese cece eck May 2, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent cireulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium {it has no competitor. In 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, or to the Editorial or Business Dep: ments, according to tenor or purpose. One vear ago and this city was much dis- turbed because of the unwelcome presence within its borders of the host of generally undesirable men brought hither by the cal- culating and far-from-irresponsible Jacob S. Coxey. Business conditions at that time were probably a trifle worse than they now are and to the more thoughtful among us there were apparent many dangerous prob- abilities following closely in the train of the Army of the Commonweal. Locally, though, the Invasion was unusually, even phenomenally, interesting because the horde ef ill-fed and unwashed visitors loud- ly announced their intention of compelling the people of this community to furnish the commonwealers with subsistence; a threat that for awhile was carried into execution. Today Coxey has been almost forgotten by the District of Columbia; the mention of his name provokes nothing more serious than a smile, for in the year that has gone by since he made his de- monstration he has failed utterly to live up to the professions he so vociferously scat- tered abroad; the light of twelve months’ observation reveals him in his true char- acter—a character in which selfishness is the most conspicuous feature. That Coxey should so soon have vanished is, after all, not surprising, for from the beginning of his pilgrimage he never had the earnest assistance of any man of consequence. For awhile he had a great quantity of vocal support of a sort, but that—even when talk was ¢heaper than it had ever been before— rapidly diminished into silence as it be- came evident that Coxey’s principal object was self-glorification with a view to ulti- mate profit—political or otherwise. That Coxey calculated upon securing the solid support of the labor organizations was evi- dent, and he did find a few misguided mem- bers who announced themselves as his disciples, but the overwhelming majority, blessed with common sense, had no diffi- culty In taking Mr. Coxey’s measure and in making up their minds that the less or- ganized labor had to do with such a char- Jatan the better it would be for organized labor. More interesting than any other phase of the subject is the fact that in so short a time a man who created so much of disturbance should have journeyed such @ great distance toward oblivion. —_—__+ = ____ Sociologists who devote especial attention to the study of conditions that spring out of race prejudices will find much enter- taining and instructive matter in an inter- view, published in this issue of The Star, which deals with a racial complication in which the colored people of the District of Columbia are especially concerned. Ever since the management of the Atlanta ex- position invited the colored people of the District to contribute toward a great race exhibit, the local commission has had to meet the objections of those who insisted that the negro was not really wanted at Atlanta; that colored Washingtonians would, In common with all other colored People visiting that city, be compelled to ride in “Jim Crow” cars and be annoyed by many other humiliating discriminations. The commission—as will be seen by Mr. Hilyer's talk—has wisely concluded to go directly ahead with the work of preparing an exhibit; the ground taken being that the exposition will afford an opportunity to show to the world the tremendous mental strides taken in a comparatively short Period in spite of the hindrances that are every day apparent. The showing to be made at Atlanta by colored residents of the national capital cannot but work bene- ficially, for comparison with other exhibits that are the products of Caucasian skill will open the eyes of many who, up to this time, have been wilfully blind. To refrain from participation would be to miss a most valuable opportunity for educating a large number of those white people who reaily have no idea as to what the properly-edu- cated negro can do amid such surroundings as are his at the seat of government. Even in Washington thefe is a good deal of ex- traordinary ignorance as to the forward movement of civilization among those who, but a generation ago, were without any educational advantages whatever. The in- terview with Mr. Hilyer should be profit- able reading for many people whose know]l- edge is inexcusably Hmited. > 0 -—___ Typographically clean and otherwise at- tractive Is the Washington Press, the latest ccmpetitor in the afternoon newspaper field. The Press is a co-operative institu- tion, the persons most immediately inter- ested in it being printers. It advocates the free coinage of silver and asks the reading public to invest one cent a day in the purchase of its news and opinions. The Star wishes It success. — > ___ One hundred and nine men were today employed upon the city post-office build- ing. Had the number been ten times as great the force would not have been able tcday to compensate for the time lost dur- ing the past few days of inclement weather. Reliable indications point steadily to struc- tural incompleteness for several years to come. ——____« e# -___ The State Department's idea of what the American people should know about their own business is Indicated by its publication of a pamphlet on the Nicaraguan situation containing cnly extracts from Monroe's historic messagt oe As the United States government ts a government by the people the Nicaraguans are entitled to draw considerable encour- agement from the fact that public senti- ment here is unmistakably wita them. ——__ + «+ —____ ‘Theodore Roosevelt retires from the civil service commission with the honor which attaches to an official who has nothing to conceal from the newspapers. eo It i$ hoped that the refusal to grant li- censes in Jackson City will not merely cp- erate to reduce the expenses of the rum- selling business there. oe New York's opposition to the overhead- trclley is bearing precisely the same fruit as has made its appearance in Washington. Persistently, and for a long time, the over- head-trollzy syndicate has been doing its utmost to blockade New York's streets with poles and wires, and only the most persistent opposition could have discour- aged that combination which seems to have no thought for anything but its own finan- cial welfare. Yesterday the state railroad oners met and considered the joint on of the Metropolitan Street Rail- ompany and the Sixth Avenue Rail- Company for permission to install an underground electric system. It was made evident to the commissioners that the sys- tem was in every respect satisfactory and upon the showing made the authority asked for by the companies was granted. With the installation of such a system in New York ang the operation of similarly-applied motive Porce on the lines of the Metropol- itan Company in this city will vanish the last argument of the overhead-trolley ad- vccates. Not so long ago it was possible for the all-devouring traction syndicate to pretend that all underground systems were electrically and financially failures; today there can be but little successful effort in either of those directions, for in a com- paratively short space of time the intelli- gent public has been educated quite broad- ly in street railroad matters and is not easily to be deceived. If any street rail- rcad corporation installs an underground system for the purpose of discrediting it the people will find it out without much trouble and the result will be very disas- trous to the company indulging in the foolish experiment. Of course the success of the underground electric roads will work diminution of present financial gain by the overhead-trolley syndicate, but the amount of damage done will not be serious if the syndicate gracefully and-as speedily as possible falls into line with reasonable pub- lic opinion. —___+ «+ ____ There should be no delay in canvassing for subscriptions to a great national testi- monial to be presented to Armour & Com- pany as a token of the grateful remem- brance in which they are held by the beef consumers of the United States. From an affidavit forwarded by that firm to the Secretary of Agriculture, it appears that for over a year rast the firm has sold beef at a loss of more than seventeen cents a head, and as the company handled con- siderably over four hundred thousand cat- tle the total deficit amounts to quite a round sum. Very few commercial combina- tions on this money-making globe would have persevered so long and so unprofit- ably, and for that exhibition of unfaltering desire to see that everybody who wanted beef and had money enough to pay for it got what they wanted, there should be un- stinted popular commendation. Secretary Morton ought not to hesitate even for an hour, nor should any beef eater stop to think twice before contributing liberally toward the erection of a monument to the firm which says it lost $75,000 on beef in. 1894 but which managed to exist on the six million or more of dollars it gathered in the last time Mr. Armour cornered the pork market. ————++_____ Those newspapers published in Alexan- dria county that have not as yet seen fit to condemn the villainy which complaisant county officials permit to run riot in the vicinity of Rosslyn and Alexander Island and St. Asaph are missing a great opportu- nity to do a righteous thing. That the presence of the race-tracks, the gambling- hells and the saloons puts into circulation in the county a great deal of desirable currency is undoubted, and that some few people who are neither race-sharps nor bunco-steerers nor illegal vendors of intox!- cants are benefited thereby is unquestiona- bly true; but are those apparent advan- tages real? The bitter experience of com- munities that for awhile were deceived by sophistry of the purely financial sort is on record to show that the losses outnumber and outweigh the gains so considerably that the gamblers’ scale is on a level with the beam. If the Alexander county news- papers would join hands with the two newspapers of Washington that are now engaged in making a conscientious and de- termined fight against the evils that are giving to Alexandria county the vile repute enjoyed for years by such a resort as Glou- cester, the work of reform would undoubt- edly be hastened. —___+ + -—___ Having concluded his labors in China, perhaps Mr. Foster may be able to do something for the situation in Ohio. —_—_+ ++ ____ It would be better to twist the British lion’s tail a bit than to have the American eagle's wings clipped. —_-- + ++ ____ _ SHOOTING STARS.

Not Encouraging. “How does Miss Blizaly like you?” said one young man, “Not very well, I'm afraid.” “She hasn't been rude to you, has she?” “No. But whenever I call she gets her little brother to recite ‘Little Drops of Water’ and then plays ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ on the piang.” Realism. “What made you write this story in red ink?” asked the editor. “You see, it’s a story of New York, and you've been kicking for more local color in my work.” yes—but—" “Well, that’s the way New York looked to me when I was there.” Base Ball Philosophy.

Cor. > York Tribune. ‘The admirable plan of Washington, “which combines,” says an old circular, printed in the laLter part of the last century, “rot only conveniences, regularity, elegance of pros and a free circulation of air, but everything grand and beautiful that can be introduced into a city,” is never more evident than in the spring, when the ding foliage softens the outlines and adds a new beauty. From the appearance of the crocuses until frost, the public squares are great flower gardens, beautiful- ly laid out and exquisitely kept. But the chief charm, and what makes Washington remarkable among the cities of the world, is her trees, which line the,streets, and ren- der riding and walking, even in the torrid weather of summer, a pleasure. The plant- ing of trees was systematically begun un- der the regime of the board of public works In the centennial year there were 4) trees planted, and each year since hundreds. have been put in the ground. There are something like 800 dif- ferent species and varieties. The results that have been obtained in the last thirty years are marvellous. —_—__+ e+ —_ Coaching Mr. Allison, From the Memphis Commerclal-Appeal.

Ave WON Victory. ‘The “Prize Winners’ of the Bread Contest which tock place at Convention Hall last fall “won a victory" over the other contestants by simply using Flour in thelr prize loaves. Victory was easy to them when they laid such a firm foundation to their bread making. Everybody knows that the principal ingredient in bread Is flour; therefore, If the best flour is usel by skilled cooks, then the best bread must be the result. Knowing this, the “Prize Winners” and these who received “hon- crable mention’ used Ceres Flour —in their Prize Bread. There is no bet- ter flour on the market than ‘Cere: £0 say all who have ever used it. It is “Ceres” that makes more bread, Ighter bread, sweeter bread, whiter bread and better bread than any other flour, Be sure to get the genuine “Ceres.” Look for the circular signed in autograph by Wm.
