THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY............. cesses Muy 17, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES Editor. Hi! EVE ING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined eirculation ot the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. — tFIn order to avoid delays, on ace 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 Busine: Depa ments, according to tenor or purpose. The blindness of those who will not see is proverbial. At the meeting of the Wash- ington Board cf Trade held last Tuesday evening for the purpose of protesting against the continued existence of the ex- tremely offensive conditfons that are per- mitted to flourish without interruption in these portions of Alexandria county, Vir- ginia, nearest to the national capital, there Was no unreasonable antagonism to mere horse-racing, yet expressions of opinion by persons who seem to think the action of the board an impertinefice are indicative of willful ignorance of the proceedings on that interesting occasion. The Washington toard of Trade has not been engaged in discussing horse-racing; it properly took cognizance of the faet that despite Virginia laws about all of the known varieties of gambling are in practical operation in the vicinity of Jackson City and Rosslyn. Those gambling dens were in existence prior to the advent of either of the two “outlaw” race-tracks in Alexandria county, but since the races commenced to be, since there followed the horses from Gloucester and Guttenburg a horde of undesirable hu- man beings, the Alexandria county resorts have naturally become more conspicuous. Attracted by the race meetings, a consid- erable number of Washingtonians have been tempted to risk their own and other people’s money in games where winning by any other person than the dealer was prac- tically impossible. Great injury has been wrought among those who were foolish enough to give way to the attractive temp- tation, and as a consequence there ensued dishonesty such as has been felt by very many of Washington's business men. Since the Guttenburg and Gloucester sharps as- sumed control of Alexandria county the south bank of the Potomac near Rosslyn and Jackson City has been thickly ten- ented by rgen who have caused the Metro- politan police force much of anxiety and extraordinary activity, because, contempo- raneous with the residence in this neigh- borhood of the ngemann crowd and its prototypes, crime has startlingly increased. As a representative organization it was clearly the duty of the Board of Trade to Protest against the injury thus inflicted upon the moral and material welfare of the capital and to urge the taking of any steps which might give promise of result- ing in a better state of affairs in the Vir- ginia county, ,where, strangely enough, some of those who should be first to cleanse the county’s good name are engaged in offering excuses for the presence of men whose undesirability is minimized because there is coupled with that undesirability more or less of financial gain. The Star is gratified to note the manifest difference be- tween the utterances of some of Alexandria county’s prominent citizens and the decla- rations of Gov. O'Ferrall. The former show but little desire to assist in ridding the region of its “curse spot;” the latter is Willing to do what he can, and will cheer- fully accept such assistance as the citizens and officials of the District of Columbia can give. If the indignation of Virginians who are engaged in abusing the Washington Board of Trade could oniy be turned upon the faithless officials of Alexandria county, the desirefl reform would be here very soon. eee The President and his Secretary of State must be in a distressed frame of mind over the rumors that have in some absurd way reached these shores that ex-Minister Thurston of Hawaii is an advocate of the restoration of the royal regime in the Islands. It is so annoying for one to feel that maybe one has made a serious blun- Of course, if Mr. Thurston were a alist, if, during all this time that he has been here as an outspoken and fear- less advocate of ultimate annexation, and of republicanism in the islands while the United States is making up its mind to accomplish this desirable end, if this thing be trve how harrowing must be the thoughts now of the President and his chief of staff when they contemplate the possibility of their having deliberately dis- missed such a valuable adjunct to the roy- ist propaganda that they have been con- ducting during the past eighteen months! (hey may have sent away from a field of great usefulness one of their own set. They may have snubbed a friend. Perish the thought! It had been better far to snub even Paramount Blount, or to send @ rude message to their great and good friend, Mrs. Dominis. Of course, the later dispatches from the islands will relieve their anxiety. They will learn in a few days that Mr. Thurston is still the straight- forward advocate of a republican form of government, and that he is far from plot- ting to overthrow the existing state of af- fairs in the islands. This will take from their minds a great burden, doubtless, but the agony of uncertainty will be very wearing while they are being set straight. Mr. Thurston really should not allow such Tumors to get afloat to make the official cares of the President and the Secretary heavier than they usually are. It is a clever revenge, but is it altogether war- ranted even by the gravity of their of- fense against him? ——_ +++ A correspondent suggests what should merely need to be suggested in order to achieve instant popularity—the naming of one of the important streets or avenues that will come into existence under the Btreet extension plan in honor of Alexan- der R. Shepherd. Now that the District Commissioners are engaged in seeking out names for street designations it would be an entirely appropriate and grateful thing to give us a Shepherd avenue, in recogni- tion of the services of the man who re- created the national capital. —_+ e+ ___ The Baltimore Sun is fifty-cight years old today and its notable and permanent suc- cess in the newspaper field affords another illustration of the fact that character goes for something in, journalism as well as in any other pursuit in life. As the Sun well Says: “It is quite as important to a news- paper as to a man to start out in life with good principles and honest and elevated purpost ——_~e+o___ Having discouraged starred-and-striped activity at Corinto, the British govern- ment is now proceeding to set aside the regulations framed and promulgated by the international court which sat at Paris for the avowed purpose of preventing any pos- sibility of disagreement as to the manner in which the seal fisheries in Bering sea should and should not be conducted. When the de nm of that court was first an- nounced it was at once evident that Great Britain was the principal beneficiary, and new it appears that the greediest of all | nations is not going to be satisfied until everything goes its way, regulations or no regulations. Last season British warships did make some sort of a show of protecting the seals, but this year there will be even less of activity in discouraging the poach- ers, who are on the lookout to take ad- vantage of every opportunity that can be afforded them by lax administration of the law. This British lack of sincerity is in Violation of the agreement, yet, not satis- fied with unspoken disavowal of solemnly- made pledges, the British government has gone to the extreme of issuing regulations of its own as to the carrying of nets, fire- arms and explosives by sailing vessels; reguldtions which give the consciencele3s sealers all the opportunities they could ask for to speedily secure a profitable cargo. It would be untrue to state that the peo- ple of this country expect this administra- tion to act promptly and effectively in this matter, for the President's pro-British tendencies in all diplomatic affairs have been so marked that no one who has watched our governmental machinery operate recently expects anything but meek acquiescence in the desires which are trans- mitted westward through the soothing medium of Ambassador Bayard. President Cleveland may not be aware of the fat, but it is nevertheless the truth, that many millions of Americans wou!d be delighted if he would just once fool Great Britain into believing that this administration had some sclid ideas as to a fore‘gn policy and back- bone enough to make it a Ive something and not a mere apparition. —_——__+ + =___ It is announced that the post-office de- partment officials are considering the ad- visability of making an order that the let- ter carriers in free delivery offices shall salute the postmaster, the assistant post- master and the superintendent of carriers whenever they may chance to meet. This is a most excellent notion. It is a step to- ward that beautiful ideal that includes the establishment of several other branches of the government upon a military basis. Take the State Department, for instance. What a splendid chance there is in that field for a symmetrical reform! How much it would improve the appearance of things if all those young men who stand as guardians of the awful secrets of the diplo- matic bureau were required to arrange their attire according to fixed rules and laws! They might be ordered to wear shoes just exactly so pointed, and no more. Their collars ought to be precisely so high, and no higher and no lower. The matter ef turning up the bottom edges of the trousers really should be adjusted by regu- lation and a law established for. the amount of clearance from the ground. So, too, with their hats, cuffs and monocles— monocles surely should be required from all, A fixed date should be proclaimed for the time of donning and dofting straw hats, under severe penalties. In just the same way many other reforms could be in- stituted, all tending to a more beautiful appearance. So, while the letter carriers are giving their superior officers a military salute, and the state department clerks are being trained in the gentle art of being uniformly beautiful, the treasury clerks may be fitted out with pistols and swords, arf, above a!l, the employes of the District government should be drilled assiduously in keeping slience. There are vast possi- bilities in the scheme, which ought not to be allowed to end with the proposed post- oitice reforms. — One bundred and eighteen men watched the circus parade from the walls of the city post-office building this morning. ‘They lost a little time, but no one fs disposed to blame them for taking a short rest from their tremendous task of trying to erect this great structure all by themselves be- fore August 17, 1908. ——__++—_.

An Inference. “Silence is golden,” remarked the man who loves to quote. “Are you sure of that?” asked Mr. Meek- ton, a ray of interest lighting up his de- jected countenance. “Certainly.” “Well, that’s the first intimation I ever had of my wife's politics.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who joys not when the peanuts shed Their husks, and quaffs beneath the shade The ruby-tinted lemonade? Too Much for Him. “What's the-matter with the ostrich?” asked the proprietor of the menagerie. “Indigestion.” “What's he been eating?” “I left a newspaper where he could get it, and he undertook to swallow some of Sibley’s speeches.” A Cynienl Summary. This world is but a fleeting show, And little joy he gleans Who curiousty undertakes To look behind the scenes.

And so it is with all success That human life may see; ’Tis not the man that counts, but what The man is thought to be. ——___ +e = —____ It Might Have Becn Worse. From the New York Tribune. Well, it might have been worse. There's always comfort in that philosophic reflec- tion, The legislature now in its last hours might have done more for the cause of good government d municipal reform than it has, but it ght have done much less, and it might also have done some things that would have been very serious hindrances to reform which it refrained from doing. Let us be grateful for the good that has been accomplished and for the ills | we have escaped, and with renewed courage prepare for a renewal of the bat- h is always on and never ended veon what makes for righteousness and the allied forces arrayed against it. ————__ + o> ____ What Brooklyn Wants.
