8 THE EVENING STAR, e =e THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY................May 23, 1895. CROsBY s. NOYES. Editor. THE EVE ING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im 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 Depnaret- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Phe issues of the election that is to be held in Alexandria county today are sharp- ly defined, and the results will indicate definitely whether there is any ground of hope that the people of the county will expel the law-defying, reckless community of gamblers and other violators of the or- dinances of morality and order who now control county affairs, and injure and dis- $race both Virginia and the District of Columbia. If the voting constituency of Alexandria county do not of themselves and by their ballots remedy the evil, the next step should be an application under the Virginia Statutes to the county court for proceed- ings against recreant county officials, look- ing to their removal. The direct evidence of a few reputable citizens is all that is necessary to cause this machinery to operate. If nothing results from resort to the statutory proceedings in the nature of impeachment, action by the next Virginia legiglature must, perhaps, be awaited. Both in the proceedings before the county court and before the legislature, Gov. O'Ferrall can directly and indirectly exer- cise a strong and wholesome influence tending toward the purification of Virginia from its curse-spot. He promises that if the District authorities collect the neces- sery evidence he will see that the law- breakers are tried and punishe = It will be a pity if, through lack of com- plete harmony between the state and na- tional health authorities, the yellow fever is permitted to ecrcep into the borders of this country during the coming season. Already the note of warning has been sounded. The state authorities of Missis- sippi have begun to show a tendency to disregard the requirements of the Treasury Department officials in the matter of ex- cluding vessels that are suspected of carry- ing germs of the disease, and unless some new understanding is reached between the state and the Marine Hospital officers very soon great damage may be done. In such matters the national authorities should have full and complete power to keep out of purt any vessel coming from an infected region until she has been thoroughly dis- infected and detained beyond the period of development. The question affects more than the locrlity in the immediate vicinity Cf the port at which such a vessel touches, and it 1s surely within the scope of the national power to take entire charge of such cases. Ihe Marine Hospital Service has been brought to a high state of effi- ciency and its good work should not now be put to naught by the carelessness or in- difference of some minor state officials who do not fully realize the importance of en- tire harmony between them and the Treas- ury officers ————_+ + + —___. In no city in the country is there more of practical sympathy with the physically aifilcted or otherwise distressed than at the national capital. Rarely is the cry for help unanswered in spite of the fact that once in awhile the appeal is made by some one who turns out to be not entitled to the charity which is so freely bestowed. But there must be a limit to the manner in which these appeals may be made; the number perhaps may be beyond easy con- trol. The police should promptly put a stop to nauseating exhibitions of withered limbs or other individual troubles, the pub- lic exposure of which may fairly be termed improper. Such exhibitions are now being made on some of the more prominent streets of this city and while the displays excite some commiseration, they are as a rule much more productive of disgust. Unfortunates of the class in question, if they are dependent upon individual con- tributions for their support, should be placed in some public institution’ where they will receive kindly treatment and be neither compelled nor permitted to make a business of the public exposure of spec- tacular infirmities. ——__ +++ Washington’s sidewalks have always done a great deal to lower the general average of municipal excellence. Not only is im- provement highly desirable in the kind of sidewalk in use, but more careful atten- tion is necessary to keep in reasonably good condition those upon which the city is now compelled to rely. A large propor- tion of the vacant lots in the city are either unattended to or else have been im- properly graded, and as a natural result each shower of rain sends waves of mud from the lot to the curb. This operation, frequently repeated, unfits a large percen- tage of the sidewalks for use. Authorita- tive energy might properly be expended in stirring up the lot owners, whose inex- cusable parsimony or carelessness results in so much of discomfort for those who must use the sidewalks. ——--+ ++ —___ The women of New Jersey are demand- ing recognition as yote An off-hand glance at the affairs of the state is suffi- cient to create the conviction that what- ever New Jersey's political system is, it cught to be different. ——__ ee Theodore Roosevelt is managing to make the New York police force do some of the moving on at present. ee With the action of the sound money con- vention at Memphis to be held today well understood in advance, the chief interest In that event centers not so much in its Immediate proceedings as In the corrective Influence that it is expected to have later upon the unmistakable movement that now exists among the people of the south in the direction of free silver. Called as it is for a certain definite purpose and attended by pronounced advocates of a safe cur- rency system, the chief concern now is whether the convention will succeed in placing itself so clearly and definitely on record and in protest against the free silver movement that the reasons which actuate its delegates, who are drawn from the busi- ness centers of the south, will strongly ap- peal to the people of all parties in that section whose own immediate interests are not involved in the coming struggle o free silver. Representative Maddox of Georgia stated yesterday in an interview thaf the money qu m is more of a busi- ness than a political one, but it is never- true that it is being made into a al i by those who have no busi- ern in the output of silver. It may prove easy for the time being to stimulate to the point of great enthusiasm the voters of the south and w the cry of “more money for the ma which is the shrewd shibboleth of th manipu- lators of the present silver campaign. It is the function of just such gatherings as that being held at Memphis today to dem- onstrate with the clearest of reasoning and the plainest of facts and figures the fal- lacy of expecting prosperity from mere inflation or from the arbitrary increase of the circulating medium in the absence of a return of those conditions which always control the relations between material com- modities and the purchasing medium. It should be one of the duties of the con- vention, and of any committee that may be appointed to take charge of the future campaign, to give wide circulation to such statements as that made yesterday by the director of the United States Mint, show- ing 2 marked increase in the world’s out- put of gold. It was estimated that the in- crease in this production during the cal- endar year 1894 over the year 1803 was nearly twenty million dollars, and enough of the figures are definitely announced to show that this increase is steady and is not confined to any one locality, but that every important gold field in the world is contributing to the advance In the aggre- gate output of the yellow metal. Thus the chief argument of the silver advocates is met by facts. It has been their favorite device to claim that silver should be im- mediately eubstituted for gold in all of the functions of money because the world’s supply of the latter is too limited, as they claim, to make it a safe medium of ex- jchange. Another duty that the Memphis sound money convention should assume is the dissemination of accurate information among the people of the south and west conceraing the return of prosperity that is noticeable in every branch of trade in all parts of the country. With the threat of a gold famine squarely discredited and with a general revival of trade and industry, much of the foundation on which the silver movement is based will have been under- mined. Waile it may be true that today’s essemblage in Memphis represents but a small fraction of the people of the south, as far as mere numbers are concerned, much may yet be accomplished by the agi- tation that will result from this gather- ing. It is noteworthy that the free silver advocates have shown some degree of alarm at the prospect by planning for a counter demonstration to take place in June in the same city. —__++ -__—_. Enough tron beams have now been deliv- ered on the post-office site to enable the erectors to make one complete set of them for a section of the north front, and the work has at last been begun on this con- tract, which is now more than ‘a month be- hind time. It 1s fortunate that the great stone inscription on the face of the tower, announcing the date of the completion of the building as 1897, is in relief rather than in intagllo, for in the event of a failure of the forecast thus made—which Is not alto- gether unlikely if the daily force of men be not increased beyond ninety men, which is the size of today’s gang—it may become necessary to erase the letters and substi- tute a new date line, an operation which might be difficult if the characters had been originally sunk into the stone. There are some skeptical people who still believe that the inscription, to be more probably true, should read “Anno Domini MDCCCCVI." —— + 6 = Brooklya has just established a great water tower, sixty-five feet high, as a part of the fire department equipment of that city. It is intended to counteract the evils attendant upon the erection of enormously high buildings that are now becoming a most serious menace to life and property in all the large commercial cities of the country, Washington has checked the ten- dency to build sky-scrapers and has little to fear at present from this danger. The work now under way for raising the dam at Great Fails and other projects for in- creasing the capital's water supply promise to meet all the city’s wants of water, both for fighting fire and other purposes. May the day never come when on account of the height of the buildings or scarcity of water a water tower will be needed in Washington. ——_+ + »+___ ‘The comic book of finance has been tried with pecuniary success and is having a host of imitators.
