THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY... CROSBY S. NOYES....... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation mach more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7In 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 Busin Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. nd Jerome K. Jerome has international re- pute as a writer of fiction, and it is merely fairness to state that he undoubtedly de- serves the goodly gmount of fame that has come to him as the result of his skill. But when Mr. Jerome starts out to discuss facts he permits his fancy too much play and in his exuberance he jumps much too hastily. In the most recent issue of Mr. Jerome's newspaper—of which Englishmen think a great deal—ts the following editorial declar- ation: “Democracy is an idle folly, and no one but an uneducated fool can believe in it. Ten thousand idiots cannot teach one child the wisdom of democracy. It has been given its chance, and its value has bean Proved. It grew up as a weed from the world’s highway in the early morning of history, to be trampled under foot with a laugh as the pioneers of the human race pushed thelr slow way across the Ural Mountains. It was reared again in Greece and Rome, to be mowed down by the sword. It had tts opportunity in France 100 years ago, and it was swept away. It was set up to be worshipped in America, and today America worships the Almighty Dollar, and the Almighty Dollar tyrannizes over her with a rod of gold, such as no people in the old monarchial days would have tolerated. Democracy has not, even the vitality to Derpetuate its own sbecies. It's child is in- variably a despotism. Julius Caesar, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon each sprang from the womb of a Democracy,” Crystalized for argumentative purposes, Mr. Jerome's contention amounts to noth- ing more than an assertion that because the republics of ancient history crumbled to earth, therefore, democracy {a an idle folly. The growth of democracy is the marvel of the century, while of monarchical institutions there is steady decadence. The absurdity of the Jerome premises and the Jerome conclusion should be instantly ap- parent to every intelligent person. Yet, ter all, we might perhaps be grateful to Mr. Jerome for calling attention to oné most formidable national enemy. Proud in the possession of enormous power, and often boastful of the tremendous influences which the American republic exerts the whole world over, may we not be closing our eyes and ears to the dangers resultant from the worship of what has come to be ecmmonly known as the almighty dollar? Democracy has perpetuated its own species very successfully in the western hemis- phere, where, with but trifling exceptions— outside of Canada, which will also be truly democratic some of these days—the people are thelr own rulers. Of course, republi- can perfection has not yet been reached, and it may not be for many years to come, but it will arrive in due season if we will only heed the warning which Mr. Jerome intended as denunciation. —____+ «= —_—_—__ There seems to be a steady Increase in the amount of soft ~oal used im this city, and many stacks and chimneyswhich for- merly showed but slight vapory evidences of the fires at thelr bases now belch forth immense volumes of black, sooty smuke, that roll sullenly away, dropping a shower of sticky and dirty particles ta the streets and buildings and individuals below. The use of soft coal is favored by those who use {t because it means considerable sav- ing of expense, but even the exercise of economy's meritorious principles should not be permitted to result in a nuisance which is felt by a considerable proportion of the entire community, and which detracts very considerably from the esthetic fea- ‘eires of the local landscape. Continuation and expansion of the practice will discolor public and private buildings; a considera- tion sufficient to justify legislative or ex- ecutive provision that the users of soft coal in any considerable quantities shall provide thetr furnaces with smoke-con- sumers. —___ 0 ____ Everybody will applaud the action of the representatives of all of Washington's or- ganized labor yesterday in deciding that no other flag shall make its appearance in the labor day parade than the one flag to which every true American does homage. Washington has never had any such ex- periences as haye been much too common in cities where vast manufacturing interests have gathered together hundreds of thou- sands of wage-earners; cities in which a small proportion of the toilers seemed de- termined to stir up trouble by insisting upon carrying anarchist banners typifying dis- loyalty and hostility to the principles and government of the republic. It was there- fore not to be expected that any difference of opinion would arigp aso the propriety of there being but one flag—multipiied as often as you please—in’ the great parade which will take placé in this city Septem- ber 2, bet the meeting might have ad- Journed without declaring Itself on this really important matter, In which event the opportunity of being an examplar would have been lost, and that would have been unfortunate, ———___-¢ = _____ There should be no disinclination among the colored people of the District to assist those who are laboring to insure an exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition devoted to illus- trating their progress since their emancipa- tion. By exhibits such as the colored peo- ple of the District are abundantly able to make at Atlanta, if the necessary financial means are secured, the real attainments and Prospects of the steadily developing race can be and should be Illustrated, —_~++s—___ There were ninety-five men toiling on the new city post-office building today. —_~-e=__ As if the kgown earth were too limited in its area to accommodate the human race of today, men of science and lovers of adyen- ture are now turning toward the south pole, expecting to find somewhere in the Antarc- tic Ocean a variety of experiences which will add to the sum of human knowledge and make famous—elther through success or dlsaster—persons who at this time are comperatively unknown. At the sessions of the International Geographical Congress held in London last week, there was but a very small display of interest as to the north pole, but a great deal was said of the Practically unknown regions which sur- round the other end of the earth’s axis. Until recently only two navigators—Ross and D'Urville—had set foot on land within the antarctic circle, but now comes the Norwegian explorer Borchgrevinck, who made known to the congress the results of his search for surprises in the frozen south. ‘That the Norwegian has discovered a new continent was generally admitted by mem- bers of the congress, and there was no one to take issue with him whem he announced that the estimated size of his discovery was fm the neighborhood of eight millions of square miles. Hitherto the Murray esti- mate of three million square miles has been accepted because there was no one who could safely dispute the figures. Very naturally it was believed that vegetation did not exist within the extreme antarctic territory, but Borchgrevinck found plant fe in such quantities as to render it quite probable that land animals exist, although Positive evidencg on this point is still lack- ing. What is the principal material testl- mony, however, relates to the character of the soil; which is distinctly mineral. Speci- mens of quartz brought by the explorer from Cape Adair and displayed before the conference will probably hold forth consid- erable temptation to that very large per- ) centage of civilized mankind which is will- ing to take almost any risk if there is prob- ability of getting rich in a hurry. Neither the north pole nor the south pole can long hold securely the secrets of their hitherto secure retreats ff it can be definitely estab- lished that in their respective vicinities there is great mineral wealth. Until now the man of business has had nothing to do with arctic explorations, mainly because there were no inducements in it that ap- Pealed to his strongly-practical nature, but if there ts only a reasonable chance of there being profit in a trip to the southern extreme it will not be five years ere we know very much about the antarctic conti- nent. Some of the thermometric testimony presented by Borehgrevinck is pleasant reading compared with the stories of low temperatures that come from the far north; the figures indicate that since Sir James Ross took observations in 1841 there is more warmth in the antarctic south of 74 degrees latitude than there was at the same Season fifty years ago. Prominent members of the geographical congress are Inclined to the beilef that we are on the verge of an antarctic “boom,” the preliminary being an expedition which, divided into three parties, will endeavor to explore the new continent fron three different points. The expedition will probably find it difficult to secure suita- ble landing places or harbors, for Ross sailed for more than three hundred miles along a shoreline of ice which was one hun- dred and fifty to two hundred feet high, and unbroken. —_—_+ 6+ ______ Out of the ever-lively west comes the an- nouncement that an immense cat-breeding farm is to be established in Cincinnati. Eight acres are to be utilized fog the build- ings and premises, and countless cats will be cultivated and cared for until their fur is old enough to have a distinct market value. The original stock is to be imported from Spain. This enterprise will be watched with breathless interest by the people of Washington and of other cities, where, in many neighborhoods, there are cats enough and to spare. The only thing that prevents residents in the infested localities from driving a lucrative trade in cat-skins is probably the fact that the variety of feline which awakens midnight echoes and fills the day with fleas and somnolency is not sufficiently select, If the Spanish cats are found equal to the Cincinnati expectations there can hardly be any reason why the imported animals should not largely take the place of the unprofitable grimalkin now in vogue. Should such things be, the bus- iness-like citizen may derive a more than ordinary amount of pleasure from the high- grade animal associate; as he fondles his household pet and her progeny he can in- dulge in practical observations as to the smoothness and beauty and warmth that will be consequent upon the transformation of their fur into an electric seal coat for the eldest daughter or a beaver muff and boa for the feminine head of the family. The Cincinnati cat-farm will, therefore, bear watching by any one who has a back yard and a woodshed and a family whose thoughts turn persistently toward fur gar- ments in the winter time. —+ + =___. That is a very absurd story coming from San Francisco as to the filibustering scheme by which Mrs. L. Dominis is to be restored to the moth-eaten Hawaiian throne. Of course, it Is quite probable that. fillbuster- ing efforts will be made dy the Spreckels family and by other persons who sce for themselves financial disadvantage in good government in Hawaii, but it is ridiculous to imagine that anything can be accom- plished in the way of overthrowing the Isiand republic if the agents permit them- selves to converse as freely as has one W. P. Morrow, who declares himself to be the representative of Rudolph Spreckels. The administration at Honolulu is not likely to be disturbed by any of the few unprinci- pled people who for very good reasons continually conspire against its stability. For every man that could be raised to re- crult such an expedition as that of which the details are printed today, the Hawaiian government could put into the field five hundred capable volunteers. A call for men to defend the republic of the Pacific from the assaults of the sugar ring and the opium smugglers would be responded to in a hurry by thousands of Americans. —————_ + «= —___ Tammany grows steadily bolder in its query to the population of New York as to whether it would rather be sobbed or re formed. —__+++____.
