THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘WEDNESDAY July 17, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. VHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium 1t has no competitor. (7 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 Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The reception to be tendered the return- ing Christian Endeavorers tonight will un- doubtedly be partictpated in by all who were unable to attend the great conven- tion which concluded its labors in Boston Monday. “The beneficial effects of that con- vention, not only upon the delegates them- selves, but upon the whole country, can hardly be estimated. For six days the En- deavorers were in constant activity <ttend- ing prayer and praise meetings, doing evan- gelistic work and engaging in denomina- tional rallies. At all these meetings the aim was to raise the moral standard of the young and to help those who were en- deavoring to lead a correct and upright life to continue along that line. The funda- mental idea ‘was that the man of good, healthy morals {s the best companion in every social relation and the best citizen in the community in which he lives. The doctrine of good citizenship goes along with the teachings of morality and virtue, and at several of the meetings the duties of @ good citizen were referred to by the Speakers. These references were not made in any partisan spirit, for, as was stated by Mr. Capen in his address of welcome, the Endeavorers belonged to different political. Parties and were likely to remain in those Parties, but good citizenship tends to ele- vate the moral tone, and when it reaches the polls it means to vote for the best, the Purest, the most incorruptible man for the Position for which the election is held. Next year the convention of the United Society of Christian Endeavor will be held in Washington, and the prediction is a safe one that the people of this city will bear the same testimony to the character of the delegates and the good influence of the gathering that is now being borne by the citizens of Boston. The police at the Hub say that they never knew such a large in- flux of strangers to be accompanied by so Uttle of friction; and that their influence seemed even to have an effect upon the evil doers, for arrests were less frequent during the convention than in ordinary times. All classes of people in Boston gave evidence of their satisfaction at the pres- ence of the convention, and that will be the feeling here next year when the citizens of Washington shall have entertained the con- vention. The influence of the convention is not confined to the city in which it is held, but each delegation goes back to its state or territory and continues its work of helping and elevating the young people there. The effect is seen in the reforms that are going on in many states and municipalities, and it is In this respect that the results of the teaching of good citizenship are made mani- fest. Such education should be commended by every lover of order and decency in the conduct of public affairs, and the society or societies that can accomplish it will deserve the warmest praise and encouragement. ———__ + ++ _____ It now appears that there is a practical unanimity of legal opinion to the effect that the Commissioners are not restrained in the least by the Eckington railway’s ap- peal from Judge Bingham’s decision. In the opinion of their legal advisers and of the District bar generally their hands are Not tied, and they can proceed to enforce the law by abating the nuisance of the ille- @ally obstructing poles and wires as promptly and as effectively as they choose. The Commissioners having furnished a basis for the attempt at injunction proczed- ings by indicating a purpose to enforce law and cut the poles, may be expected to vig- orously carry out that purpose, now that the legal obstacles are out of the way. It is highly improbable that they would so Conduct their end of the court controversy as to disable themselves, or will insist that their hands are tied, if legal advice is unanimously to the contrary effect. The Eckington railway is today using overhead wires within the city of Wash- ington in violation of law, and maintaining Mlegal obstructions of the streets in the shape of trolley poles and wires. Will not the Commissioners at once enforce the law and abate the nuisance? The performance of their duty will not be a contempt of court, though it may be a contempt, neces- sary in the public interest, of powerful sen- atorial and corporate influences and of im- Proper senatorial interference. —_——__+++_____ There seems to be an unusual amount of counterfeiting going on just at present. It may be that there {s no more real work of this kind done than usual, but there are surely more exposures and arrests of counterfeiters. Whether the secret service is beccming more effective or whether by reason of the hard times more people are being driven to adopt this criminal and precarious means of obtaining a Jivelihood is a question. Two gangs of operatives have just been cornered in New York, and another was taken into custody the other day in Chicago. here must be a good deal of bad coin afloat, and the people will do well to scrutinize closely the bits of money that are given to them in change or in payment. —__-_+++____ Ex-Gov. Shepherd has reason to be grati- fled at the manner in which his work of improvement has progressed, and also at the resolute disposition to keep the scheme of beautification from being spoiled by the overhead trolley. —_——+++—___- Secretary Carlisle has swung around the circle and has incidentally taken some steps toward doing the country’s currency bus- iress on the square. + ee - Isn't there too much reliance in this country upon “Yankee ingenuity?” Every time some one points out the fact that for a great country the United States is wretchedly provided with means of defense —and of that fact there {s now no reason- able doubt—the cry is raised in answer that no enemy, however powerful, can ever humble us, because we are gteat, and glorious, and free, and, best of all, clever. ‘Taken individually or collectively, there is no question that the Americans are the last people in the world to be whipped. They are fighters to the backbone, and will probably in the end conquer any offensive force by virtue of dogged persistence and great resources. Yet the recent example of China shows that size is not so effective as readiness, and that sometimes a country can be 60 large as to be unwieldy, and so resourceful as to be overconfident. What gives immediate point to this suggestion is the fact that in a few weeks or months the work at the Washington naval gun foundry will be shut down because Congress has seen fit to cut off the appropriations on the general ground that all the guns that are needed are made. If the Washington foundry were to be run night and day for five years, with its capacity doubled, and {ta plant duplicated in some other part of the country, and that establishment run also at full speed, this naticn would just begin to reach solid ground in the matter of preparations for adequate defense. There are today three large vessels of the merchant marine that are classed as aux- iMary crufsers, the Paris, the New York and the St. Louis. In a short time the St. Paul will be added to this fleet. It is not a Jarge number when compared with the scores of available vessels of the same sort now under the control of Great Bri- tain, ye} it is too large a number for the United States to arm properly if an emer- gency should arise, such, as experience has taught, may develop within a few hours. There is today not a gun nor a scrap of metal for the cquipment of the auxiliary fleet. In other lands these guns and the sppliances for working them, together with the ammunition for firing them, would all have been ready many months. The ves- sels might just as well be called mud- scows, for all the appropriateness there is under existing conditions in the name of “cruisers.” Congress knows these things. They have been mentioned officially again and again, and yet delay and the. false economy of Frocrastination are practiced, and the re- sult will be that in a very short time the valuable plant at the Navy Yard will be shut down, and the excellent force of men there gathered will be scattered. It ts doubtful if the plant can ever be put into such effective shape as at present if this force, which it has taken years to collect, is allowed to be absorbed by the great com- mercial firms of the country. Nor is this the only source of danger. It is common understanding among the officers of the army’ that the armories of the United, States are today wofully inadequate, and that there is nothing like a supply of arms to place even the small number of men allowed by law on an effective war basis. There may be, indeed, rifles enough to go around, and to arm the now organized militia, but in the event of a war there would be a long and disastrous delay, while the armories, which are, unfortunately, all on the seaboard, and hence within easy reach of an invader, are worked up to sup- ply the deficiency that the organization of a great volunteer force would create. Taken altogether, the strain now put on the poor, overworked maxim that Ameri- can ingenuity will find a way out of all cifficulties will sooner or later tell, and the Feople will perhaps awake to a realization of the fact that, until the day comes when all war will be effectually prevented by a universal joining of hands in a beautiful brotherhood of peace, it is next to criminal negligence to fail to provide adequate measures for defense, resting for their efficiency upon something more tangible than a vague faith in the unawakened prowess of the nation. ————+ e+ ___ There are some matters that are coming |- to ght in connection with the recent at- tempt on the life of ex-Premier Stambou- loff of Bulgaria that give rise to the sus- picion that the authorities of Sofia were more or less mixed up in the affair. There is evidence now that just before the assault a party of policemen vanished around a corner of the street, and reappeared al- most immediately afterwards and blew their whistles. When the valet of the wounded statesman tried to pursue the fleeing assassins one of the policemen inter- cepted him and struck him a savage blow with his sword to stop him. Unhappy Bul- gurla js beset from within and without, and now a further bight is cast upon her good rame by this outrage. ————~+e2____. There were eighty-seven men employed on the pest office today. This is an in- crease of two over yesterday, and at this rate it will take a long time to attain a total of four hundred laborers and arti- sans, which would be a fairly adequate force in consideration of the fact that the government now stands pledged in granite to complete the building by 1897. ——_—__o «= ____- Washington is admitted to be the best place in the country for holding the as- semblage of Congressmen. It follows as a matter of course that it is the best city in which to hold a national convention . ——___+ +» _____ The actual closing of law-breaking sa- loons is an achievement for which some of the New York dailies are singularly slow in claiming credit. —_—_+ eo __— The oarsmen of America are so unlucky in striking the figurative “cold day’ that they might turn their attention to racing with ice-boats. ——_—__+ + + _____ Perhaps Washington might find some means of getting Theodore Roosevelt to come over and inaugurate a genuine trolley reform. —_++2—____. “The greatest good for the greatest num- per" should be the motto for Labor day, as for every other American holiday. —_——__+++____ Lord Rosebery had better keep away from the Derby.
