THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent efrculation muck more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam ft Bas no competitor. €7Im 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 Depart- ments, necording to tenor oF purpose. Whatever can be locally accomplished in Biving thorough trial to the poor-relief proposition generally known as the De- troit plan will surely be well done by the committees appointed yesterday at a con- ference of representatives of the Board of Trade, the Gentral Rellef Committee and the Associated Charities. The plan itself is devoid of complicated features, and when practically applied in other communities has worked admirably. Although the tm telligent and altogether commendable en- thusiasm of those who will have control of the scheme has not yet had much oppor- tunity to exercise itself the plan is never- theless generally understood and can only fail should those who ought to take ad- vantage of its benefits neglect the oppor- tunity soon to be afforded them. Among those who have had great experience in the responsible work of relieving the distressed there is absolute unanimity of opinion favorable to the establishment of minta- ture farms from which men who are with- out employment or whose employment does not suffice for their maintenance should be able to raise a sufficiency of vegetables to aid in the support of themselves and— should they have families—their families also. Washington's adoption of this De- troit plan is not at all remarkable; more than a score of the other large cities are already pledged to do whatever is neces- sary to give the practically-philanthropic idea an opportunity for local development. One or two supposedly-intelligent people appear to imagine that the plan is to have the honest unemployed raise potatoes and other vegetables @or the direct benefit of the unwortny who may put in an appear- ance early next winter. That such a notion should prevail after all that has been printed about the matter is rather sur- prising. The essence of the plan is that those who do not work shall not receive any of the proceeds. The tramp who strikes this city next winter will find no encouragement. The local loafer who scorns the opportunity to labor which will soon be presented to him wil receive no more consideration than the professional tramp. + South of Howard University, but without the jurisdiction of that institution, is the finest grove of large timber existing any- where within the District of Columbia out- side of the Rock Creek and Zoological parks. The trees are principally oaks, and | they have grown to dimensions uncommon even in this tree-decorated city, but they bave not been cared for as they deserve, and uniess something 1s done for their sal- yation many of them must in the near fu- ture wither and die. Such has been the fate of some particularly fine specimens, at least one of them having recently been hauled away for firewood by conscienceless but provident people. These oaks, for whose protection The Star makes earnest plea, are on a government reservation, the land having been deeded to the United States in exchange for property needed by the uriversity. There is no visible evidence that the government has ever done any- thing whatever for the trees, although their standing value could not easily be computed. A small expenditure of money, a little care, with perhaps a resident watchman, would give to northern Wash; ington a park such as it needs and ought to have. If it is not now possible to so improve the territory in question as to make of it a park, the government should at least see to It that the timber be pro- tected from the“tree-killing conditions that exist; conditions that also threaten the health of the people who dwell in that vi- cintty. —_~+ ++ —_____. ‘The Star hopes that ths Washington pub- lic will not permit itself to be persuaded into patronizing any of those firms which at this or at any other time come to this city for the purpose of selling out a large stock of bound-to-be-inferior clothing and who when that has been accomplished move on to other centers of population to repeat the trick. Washington is well sup- plied with reliable dealers as to whose re- sponsibility there is no question and who by permanent residence and mercantile up- rightness have achieved unimpeachable commercial standing. These are the men with whom citizens should deal. Viewed from the narrowest of financial stand- points, The Star has lost many thousands of dollars by refusing—as It consistently has for a long time—to grint the advertise- ments of these itinerant dealers. That this unswerving declination of business has been really a loss is not to be insisted upon, for it would be very strange if the steadily- abiding merchants of the District of Co- lumbia did not recognize the assistance The Star has rendered them in discouraging the “take” bankrupt sales and fire sales and railroad-wreck sales through which some Washingtonians have been grossly de- ceived. People who desire to get their money's worth of clothing had better pat- ronize the dealers who expect to be here as long as they are permitted to live. ——__ +s —— @me hundred and thirty-one men were employed on the city post-office building today. The weather is admirably adapted to rapid progress in the work of construc- tion, but the absence of much-needed Iron— for which a contractor is responsible— makes the proceedings drag. ——_+ + —___ Col. Waring should have recognized the fact that the organization of the G. A. R. gives it a facility for denunciation that no individual could possibly possess. — o> New Jersey falls into line with the con- tempt for precedent which marks the times by definitely anflouncing that the peach crop is not a failure. ee Mr. Platt insists that a political anni- hilator in the hands of an inexperienced person {3 a very erratic and formidable weapon. — Japan has just finished with China, and, while she does not admit being afraid of Russia, would like a@ iittle rest between rounds. —___ + e+ Americans frequently find fault with Great Britain because of the manner in which that power does business with other and weaker nations, but there are times— and this seems’ to be cne of them—when the general American desire is to see the government of the United States do some- thing to let the world know that it really amounts to something as a nation and that it takes a lively practical interest in the safety and welfare of ail Americans. The British method is arbitrary and frequently may be in Many respects inexcasably wrong, but whatever its weaknesses may be there can be mo doubt as to the confi- dence and pride it dnspires in thd breasts ef those who are subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Modern history is lber- ally besprinkled with incidents that prove qonclusively the Interest felt by the British government 4n those who claim the protec- _#gn of the Union Sack, When King John of Abyssinia imprisoned a few English mis- sionaries, he set in motion a military force that speedily defeated the best of his war- riors and that halted not. until it had over- turned the arrogant monarch’s throne. The Ashantee war, the several expeditions that have been sent against Afghanistan chiefs, the assaults upon China, all had their origin in alleged injuries done to an inconsider- able number of British subjects. Fresher testimony comes from Chitral, where a daring mountaineer leader held as cap- tives a small garrison—one of England's Indian outposts; a vast sum of money was expended in bringirg about the release of the prisoners and the punishment of those who imagined it might be @ safe thing to defy the British lion. The Nicaraguan in- cident is another instance of what may be termed the British method, and while there are but few on this continent who will ap- plaud the action taken there are very many millions who wish the United States would stand up as firmly for its rights and the rights of its individual citizens as does the British government. . —_~— 0 —___——_ When the Fifty-third Congress levied on the thrift of the country by the enactment of an income-tax law, it was guilty of leg- islation that had no foundation either in Justice or equity and which met with criti- cism that to be fair could not have been otherwise than harsh. There was no de- mand for such a law save by the populists and they insisted upon {ts enactment only because it suited their purpose to have a sharply-defined line drawn between what they were pleased to term the capitalistic and laboring classes. As soon as possible thereafter the law was brought to the at- tention of the Supreme Court of the United States and that body, after’ giving the sub- ject a great deal of careful consideration, so mutilated the act that it is barely recog- anizable. Landlords and bondholders—the very people ater whom the populists were chasing—were entirely exempted from the stringent provisions of the measure, so that now the burden is almost wholly upon the shoulders of those who are most deserving of exemption, if any exemption is proper. Justice Jackson having recovered sufficient- ly from his indisposition, is now present with all the other members of the Supreme Court and engaged in a rehearing of the case which must result in a direct deci- sion for or against the constitutionality of the whole act. There cannot by any pos- sibility be a change in the opinion of the court as to the exemptions of incomes de- rived from rents and bonds, so large was the majority on these points in the original decision, but there is oppor- tunity for argument and room for dif- ference of opinion as to whether a tax on Incomes is a direct tax and whether the exemptions already madé by the Supreme Court do not render the entire legislation void. ——_— +++ _____ Parents or prospective parents who read with great jubilation the paragraph an- nouncing that President Cleveland kad do- nated the sum of $500 to the happy father and mother of girl triplets—the sum to be applied to the education of the girls, should they survive the afflictions of infancy and childhood—will be shocked when it becomes known to them that their exultation was premature; that President Cleveland denies most emphatically the liberality with which he has been credited. Of course, it would have been entirely proper for the President to have given such material ‘encouragement to a people whose birth rate is already on the decline, but when one contemplates the territorial vastness of the United States and gives heed to the number of ambitious people who dwell therein he will be compelled to admit that the President did well to refrain from establishing a precedent that might easily wreck the com- bined fortunes of the Goulds and Vander- bilts. It 1s to be hoped that the President's denial will reach all the aspiring persons who may have read the original and mis- leading statement. +2 ___— China has doubtless profited by her ex- perience to the éxtent of realizing that there are better ways of making a military commander fight than taking his clothes away from him. —_—_++ + ____ Mr. Harrison should not be kept ignorance of the fact that there is a ie gering disposition to name babies after Grover Cleveland in Indiana. —_++-____ There is a popular suspicion that Min-. ister Bayard is too willing to’see England throw salt on the tail of the American eagle. ——— ++-+_____ Candidate Sibley’s campaign is to be con- ducted on a ratio of sixteen grains of al- Hteration to one ot idea. ——__-+-__—_ England leaves Corinto, but she takes a good chunk of the Monree doctrine with her. : SHOOTING STARS.

Literary Profit. “Does Woggles manage to make his works of fiction pay?” Well,” replied the good-natured man, “he makes some of them profitable.
