THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY... -- August J, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES..... ++ee+- Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined eir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 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 Depari- ments, according to tenor or purpose. —— = ‘When the estimates of the District Com- missioners are next submitted to Congress they should contain a request for 2 :onsid- erable increase in the number of policemen employed to uphold law and maintain order within the District of Columbia. It ts true that for some years past there has been considerable addition to the force, but the Increases have all been insufficient to give to the national capital such a numerically strong body of men as the city needs for its protection. There Is really no room for argument as to such a@ necessity; every reader of The Star must see how burglars thrive and sneak-thieves prosper because the chief of police has not a sufficient num- ber of men to properly patrol this rapidly- expanding community. The burglary at Eckington early yesterday morning. is merely a single case in point, and, by-the- way, it is the third’ burglary that has oc- curred on those same premises within three months. Details of policemen for special work—much of it of a purely federal sort— has seriously weakened the general effec- tiveness of the force: there is, therefore, one of the best of reasons for urging upon Congress to permit the employment of at Ieast one hundred additional patroknen. It will, perhaps, be held that to ask for so much of an increase will be useless. Be tkat as it may, no one will dispute for one moment the accuracy of the statement tkat at least_one hundred men are actually needed. If Congress does not grant the re- quest, then the responsibility is with Con- gress. If the Commissioners do not ask for @ sufficient increase, then the respomsi- bility will have to be borne by the Commis- stoners. —_~+0e—__—_ Most of the horrible rumors that have come to us <s to the murder and maltreat- ment of missionaries in China having turmed out to be true, it ts now quite in order to ask what steps this government has taken or will take to ict the Chinese government know that American citizens must be protected from such unrestrained viole.ce as broke forth at Ku Cheng. It is evident that the massacre had heen care- fully planned, and ft is also quite plaim that the Chinese authorities at Ku Cheng— where fully one thousand soldiers were sta- tioned—paid no attention whatever to the premonitions of disturbance and slaughter which were visible to every one else in that vicinity. Great Britain has already taken action and will forcibly reckon with China unless all possible reparation ts made and substantial assurances are given that the ruling powers will do all they possibly can to prevent any such crimes in the fu- ture. Perhaps the United States has done as much as seems to have been done by the British foreign office, but if it has the fact tg in concealment. Such awful eccur- rences as those which have browxht the hitherto-almost-unknown Ku Cheng into sanguinary prominence will not in any way affeet the missionary spirit which through all the ages has impelled devoted men and Women to extraordinary self-denial and sacrifice in order that good might result from thelr labors, but things ought 30 to be in this era of the world’s history that the volunteers who:carry into heathen lahds the banner of the Cross should at least be protected from physical violence of the sort unquestionably permitted by the Chinese governor of the province of Fo- Kien. ———_++2____ Washingtonians who are proud of their Place of residence and who encourage every effort that is being made to add to the beauty of the national capital and its. * desirability as a home-location, will watch with interest the proceedings of the Dis- trict Commissioners as to the overhead wires on G street. That thoroughfare is now being widened; which means, of course, that the telegraph and telephone poles theron wil! necessarily have to be re- moved. The corporations concerned will doubtless urge that the removal be merely from the places at present occupied by Poles to other places, on the same street, to be prepared for that purpose. It is pos- sible that the telegraph and telephone com- panies will avoid any appearance of fric- tion by at once notifying the Commis- sioners that they will place the G street wires underground, but it is not probable. Speaking generally, the day of miracles is past. Public sentiment is, as every in- telligent persoa in this city knows, steadily and unswervingly opposed to overhead wires of any kind, and it would be real wisdom for the telegraph and telephone companies to at least apparently come in- to agreement with that great majority which, sooner or later, will succeed in hav- ing its way. —_—_+++____.

There ts nothing surpris- ing in the announcement that the troops cannot find any Indians; it would be very extraordinary if they did, for it is safe to allege that at no time within the past two or three years was there ever in that neigh- borhcod one-tenth the number of Bannacks who were said to be there, armed and en- trenched, awaiting the arrival of either trocps or settlers, and “spoiling” for a fight. About all of the testimony we are ever likely to get as to this matter is in, end it shows conclusively that a few In- dians went into the Jackson Hole country to hurt, in accordance with their suppased treaty rights, and that the only human be- fogs killed in this “outbreak” were some cf thege Indians, shot down while attempting to escape arrest under the Wyoming game ws, which conflict with a treaty of the nited States, Bome of the good people of the east may havo found it dificult to un- Gergtand why, the settlers in the vicinity : THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1895-TWELYE PAGES, ef Jackson Hole were seized with this spasm of regard for the Wyoming game laws; for the information ef the bewildered ones it may be stated that if the Indians, im pursuance of a treaty right, guaranteed by the United States, kill game in the Jack- son Hole country without any regard for the game laws of Wyoming, then there will Pecessarily be a smaller amount of game to be shot at by the tourists whose desire to slaughter something affords a large per- centage of the Jackson Hole people oppor- tunity to earn money. The extreme readi- ness of the settlers to compel obedience to the state statute, even to the extent of ‘A central bureau where unemployed me- chanies and laborers may register and where those who desire to employ labor of the trades have endeavored to do some- thing Uke this solely for themselves, but until recently there has not been any prop- osition to concentrate. The plan fs an ex- cellent one and there should be no serious difficulty In putting it into operation. It has furthermore been suggested that in con- nection with the employment bureau there should be a reading-room and, if it be pos- sible, sach wholesome amusements as would be appreciated by those men who at present hardly know where to spend their evenings unless they resort to liquor saloons. The Proposition, elther in detail or as a whole, is im the interest of a better condition of af- fairs and deserves, therefore, the active supvort of anyone and everyone.. There will result from this ccmbiration of employment- agency and reading-room direct benefit for ™many and indirect betterment for a great many more. As things ndw are, people who want to employ mechanics frequently find it extremely difficult to secure the assist- ance for which they are ready to pay the maximum rate of wages, not because there are no unemployed mechanics of the variety they seek but because there is no bureau or headquarters office where the would-be em- ployer and the want-to-be émployed can meet and make mutually satisfactory ar- rangements. As the advocate of the local free circulating library which is bound to come, The Star naturally approves the Proposition of a reading-room attachment to the labor bureau, 2 ee ee The Congresemen's Clerks’. Association— now engaged in campaigning against depart- ment clerks who devote their evenings to assisting busy Senators and Representatives in attending to those matters which, while somewhat congressional, are not legislative —may after awhile come to the conclusion that the beam in its own eye is really more of an obstruction to perfect vision then is the mote which dwells, perhaps, in the visual organs of the department clerks who are to be anthematized and boycotted. Leav- ing out of the question entirely the equities upon which both sides of the argument may be based, it will, perhaps, be sufficient for the present to call attention to the fact that a considerable proportion of the congres- sional clerks do more or less of newspaper correspondence, and thus—without evil in- tentions, of course—work injury to men and women who are newspaper ts and nothing else. Dependent entirely upon their journaltstic efforts for a livelihood, the latter have found it Impossible to com- pete successfully with those who are con- gressional clerks first, with a fixed salary, and newspaper correspondents the balance of the time. The debate between the Con- gressmen's, clerks and the department clerks—commenced in yesterday evening's Star—may develop into something ex- tremely interesting, + 0 = ‘The prosecuting authorities fear that they may be obliged to content themselves with having Holmes written up in the newspa- pers. : —_—_ 2 = __—_ ‘There is no occasion for men to show so much agitation over the advent of bloomers.
