4 THE EVE NING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING WASHINGTON SATURDAY “May 4, 18: STAR. CROSBY 8. NOYES. = THE EVENING STAR hasa eceareaea permanent cireulntion much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailics. As News and Advertising Medium has no competitor. tJ Im order to avoid delnys, on ac- tount of personal nbsence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the ftorinl or Business Depart- tramp despises manual labor just as incerely and as persistently as some peo- ple who claim to be good citt: 3 sneer at feformatory efforts with which they have fo sympathy. The “history of charitable relief in the District of Columbia shows conclusively that the Idle and victous have been encouraged by the methods which we have pursued, while the unfortunates who preferred employment to charity have had very little done for their ri benefit. ¥aturat results of the encouragement which we have given to grofessional beg- gars have been annual additions to our undesirable population, the great influx commencing In the early winter and con- tinuing until the warmth of springtime and temporary cessation of local benevo- lence urged the advisability of changing the base of mendicancy. Other cities are strenuously endeavoring to repel the tramp element and to reduce to a minimum the ‘fraud and imposition practiced upen the charitable, and unless there 13 speedy ac- tion In the application of plans that have worked well elsewhere, the District of Co- lumbia will be flooded with the dissolutely- idle before next winter sets in. In_ self-defense therefore it behooves those who have any care for the real wel- fare of this community to get together in earnest and without delay; failure to do this may eesily result in further wholesale victimizing of open-handed Washingtonians by those who live on free fish and free watermelons In summer time and who al- ways can be found in line at the soup houses In winter. After careful considera- tion it has been decided by some of the thoroughly representative armong local or- ons to offer to those men who are to work an opportun!ty to support acticable themselves d their the proffer fs in such shape surely be rejected by the insin- » multitude which has lived every win- as far a familie ter for rs past on the public bounty. A proposition that offers only con- tin us work with postponed returns has no charm for the tramp or for the loaf- @round-town idler. The test will make plain the worthiness or unworthiness of those who apply for relief, fur the records will show who among the poor are willing to help themselves and who prefer to de- pend entirely upon extraneous aid; and when It once more becomes necessary to distribute f1od and money and clothing, it will be easier to do the right thing. The cultivation of idle land by the poor and unemployed is something that deserves en- couragement. Wherever work of that sort has been dono the experiments have been successful and there is no reason for imag- ining that they will be less successful here; the only possibility of failure is in the chance that a considerable proportion of those for whose benefit the plans are being formulated and put into practical operation may fail to take advantage of the opportu- nity, &nd thus Indicate a preference for alms over self-supporting labor. The cotm- munity would derive certain benefits even from such a fallure, for, welghing its poor in the balance, it would discover who are worthy and who are found wanting. ne Jackson City Va To The Star Edtr You have done a good deal of medling In our business and I want to say for you that you crack your whip for we are going to Elect the honorable Richd Johnston for Com!th Atty Richd Veitch “Sheriff Henry Holmes bs Revenue W C Weibert “Treasure Wm Duncan Supervisor @hey will get there Eli, so you can crack your —— whip and rade your rade —Hurrah——— This Interesting document was wafted to The Star today as a message of defiance from the elements that propose to per- petuate on the south shore of the Potomac the reign of vice and crime that has blot- ted the fair name of Virginia for many months past. It alludes, as may be in- ferred, to the coming elections at which the people of Alexandria County will demon- strate whether they prefer outlawry to or- der. In its unfque style of composition and orthography--the above being an exact copy—it Indicates somewhat the manner of men who thus bid open deflance to the peaceful and law-abiding citizens of the county. Heretofore, the officials of Alexan- dria County have protested that they could do nothing. that their hands were tied, and that the criticlsms heaped upon them for thelr inactivity were unjust. Now it will be interesting to note whether same officials will be re-elected to by the ald of the votes of the two delightful communities nestling under the protection of the withered arm of the law. Of course, éf it Is all arranged before- hand, as this missive seems to indicate, there is no use for the decent people to go to the polls, to be bullied and abused, per- haps, by the thugs and toughs who have thus lined themselves up on the side of the avowed Jackson City ticket. The only ques- tion is whether the Jackson Clty-St. Asaph gag is big enough to control the election if the other elements will but take an interest in this vital matter and cast every legal vote to which they are entitled. The Star is unable to prophesy how Alex- andria county will acquit itself in this month's election, but it has an abiding faith in the goed sense of people in general, and in the long run, and It really believes that the good people of the county will sooner or later wipe out of existence for- ever the monstrous evil for the presence of which they are indirectly responsible. ~ Europe does not for a moment insinuate that Japan is not the victor, but she In- sists just the same In having a word or two to say about the spoils. —— + ____.

When Great Britain threatened to collect by force of arms the amount it had arbitrarily named as the sum necessary to soothe the feelings of a British subject who had been exiled by Nicaragua, all the governments south of us looked in this direction for the purpose of seeing what the United States— the parent republic, so to speak—proposed to do. It was not at all unnatural that the minor American governments should turn their eyes northward, for the people of these countries, in common with a very large proportion of the people of the United ®tates, have ‘had firmly {mplanted in their minds the {dea that the Monroe docjrine ‘was something more than mere political buncombe-- With some other administra- mn than the present one in power there would almost surely have been immedigte Fesponse, but dn this Instance the executive. powers that ba .maintained silence that may some day cause this nation more trouble than would be likely to result from the most liberal use of diplomatic lan- Guage. So the English warships steamed into the harbor of Corinto and made open preparation for destroying the Nicaraguan town in case such destruction should appear to the admiral in command to be necessary. Quite properly Nicaragua ob- jected to the summary methods adopted by Great Britain and permitted by the United States; what Nicaragua wanted (and was entitied to) was some sort of adjudication by a court that was free from prejudice and before which Nicaragua would have a chance to state its case. But the British governmert would not be a party to any such proceedings as were proposed by the little power which the big power was pur- suing, for the United States had consented to the line of action which the British authorities had dectded was the proper course to follow. Then came the occup.- tion of Corinto and additional and unnec- essary humiliation of Nicaragua, which, to President Cleveland and Secretary Gres- ham, was a matter of no consequence what- ever, although the mere landing of British troops on American soll was, even by con- servative people, regarded as a dangerous precedent. The occupation of Corinto prov- ing unprofitable, the British admiral de- sired to seize other ports and would doubt- less have done so with full authority from his government and with the consent of those who temporarily are responsible for the government of the United States, had not Salvador come to the rescue with a Proposition to guarantee the payment of the sum demanded within fifteen days after the withdrawal of the British troops from Corinto. Everywhere on. this continent Sal- vador's action is being highly praised, and, whether we like it or not, we have for the time being been diplomatically eclipsed as a reliable friend in need of the American refublics by a people who number but about six hundred thousand—mostly In- dians—and whose entire territory is only 14U miles long by about sixty miles broad. > That the employes of the goverrment printing office should desire that their de- partment of the government be furnished with a Mbrary is by no means strange. They see that some other departments have been supplied with books and they know of no logical reason why there should be any discrimination. This entirely proper demand of the government printing cffice employes reopens a matter that should by this time be quite thoroughly understood in the District of Columbia. ‘The printers and binders could not possibly be made to understand why they should sot be—as to a library at least—on the 5s. employes of the Interlor Department, ard then it follows that if it be the proper thing to give the government printing office a library there should be similar justice meted out to employes of ail departments and bureaus -hat are bookless. Suppose tnat Congress should give to each of the departments an adequate library, a considerable sum of money would he simply wasted, for there would be unnecessary duplication of books and much mcre of money spent for Hbrarian service than would be needed were all the departmental libraries gathered together in one place, there, in conjunction with a vast quantity of reading matter now practically useless in the dark corners of the Congressional Library, to be a free public itbrary such as this city should have had long ago. The advantages of such a consolidation were emphasized in the report, submitted a year ago, of the committee on public library of the Washington Board of Trade. Treating of this subject of consolidation the report sald that, with the existence of a general library, “a great body of govern- ment employes would enjoy privileges of which they are now entirely deprived. Those now having a departmental circu- lating Mbrary at hand, instead of being limited to its 5,000 or 10,000 volumes, would have access to more than 20,000 in the gen- eral library, augmented by large additions from the congressional Mbrary and by pri- vate contributions, which, if the HMbrary were once Started, would undoubtedly be considerable.” The employes of the gov- ernment printing office would do well to include in thelr book-seeking program an effort to bring about the establishment of the proposed general departmental and free public library in this clty, for should they succeed they would do much more for them- selves than they could possibly accomplish by the installation of a small library such as Congress would be likely to give them, if it should respond at all to their individual appeal. +02 — Would it not be a good thing for the Superintendent of Police to buy a few bicycles and detail a squad of young police- men to learn to ride them, and, not only that, to ride them very rapidly? The de- sire Is not to give these young policemen opportunities to distinguish themseives as “scorchers” on the public streets of Wash- ington for the gratification of thelr own pleasure or of pride, but It has been thought by some of the more orderly citizens of the District that a few well mounted and well trained members of the police force might do a good deal of excellent work in chasing down those reckless riders who seem to re- gard the Avenue and other busy thorough- fares as mere cinder-paths for thelr own amusement, regardless of the perils to the lives and Umbs of the people that such reckless use of the streets entails. The old recipe for making hare soup necessitates the capturing of a hare as a preliminary precaution against failure. So in all cor- rective methods invoked In municipalities it is first essentlal to catch the offender be- fore punishing him. Hitherto the offender | has been too fleet to be caught, but if chased by an agile policeman, just as well mounted, the chances of his escape are minimized. Major Moore would ensure for himself added popularity if he were to in- augurate this scheme. = 3 New ways of dying are being brought to light every day. A Chicago man had just written a letter, and, after the usual fash- ion, molstened the flap of the envelope with his tongue. The sharp edge cut his tongue and it bled. He paid no attention to the wound, but in a day or two he was stricken with blood poisoning and died. It is thought that there was something In the mucllage with which the flap was coated that pois- oned the*tongue; and now comes the nat- ural question !f there may not be some sub- stance used in the manufacture of this mu- cllage that is of a polsonous nature. If so, some remedy should lie against the maker of the substance that is brought into such immediate contact with people every day and hour. There is a field for scientific in- vestigation here. + « The fact that betting on horse races in New York will hereafter have to be done on the English system will probably have a hopelessly demoraliaing effect on a large number anglomaniacs. eee eee It may be set down to the credit of the Carnegie manufactory that it puts out a splendid quality of armor piate for testing purpose: > ¢ 2 ——__-— Mr. Croker’s race horses in England are doing very well, but the ‘ammany thoroughbred continues to show symptoms of spavin. eee An advance in the price indicates that it is now the turn of the public to do some- thing with reference to the sugar market. +e ____ It is feared that Mr. Sibley will not have his campaign ready for the regular circus season. -— ¢ #—-—__-__ Emperor William fs a Ittle scattering in his endeavors to be a Grand Young Man. ——¢ =___—_ Boston Is said to enjoy the playing of the Washington ball club very much, THE WEEK.

He is in a peck of trouble, to be sure, and is determined to do something to stop the young men students from flirting with and making love to the young women students at his institution, which is located at Al- lance, Ohio. But how is he going to dq it? That query interests every human heart. It is an old question, and men who are placed by an adverse fate in the position of President Marsh have never yet solved it to their own complete satisfaction. Of course, love-making and education do not harmonize very well, but as long as co-ed- ucation is undertaken it is to be feared that the educators will have to wrestle with that same old problem, and there is every probability that they will find themselves ever in just the same predicament as that from which President Marsh is today deliv- ering his anathemas upon Cupid. —_—__+ ++ __.
