THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. tlm 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 te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = — Modern Conditions vs. Ancient Means. ‘The Star has been for some days trying to learn the exact state of public feeling on the subject of the establishment of a whip- Ping-post in the District as a means of pun- ishment for minor offenses. Interviews have been had with dozens of people, of all walks of life, and all shades of opinion have Some ingenious arguments have peen advanced both for and against the recommendation of the grand jury, and @ slight drift of sentiment seems to have set in favorable to the experiment. It is not remarkable that there should be such an interest shown in the subject, for it is to light matter to suggest, In these days of advancement, a return to a method of public discipline that was practically aban- doned scores of years ago. The whipping- post question represents a critical stage in government. To abandon it is to acknowl- edge its inefficiency as a means of checking the tendency to evil-doing, while to re-es- tablish the institution after a period of years would Indicate a failure of the more modern methods of punishment. The Star does not accept as demonstrated the total inefficiency of the now-provided means of forcing the laws. It does not agree that those means are inadequate, or that the increase of crime—due undoubtedly to the results of the increasing population in large cities—can be attributed to a lack of effec- tive reformatory measures. There may be, it is true, a large class of men and women in the community whose characters are such as to make the jail inviting, who pre- fer what more sensitive minds regard as disgrace to the wretched life of liberty their poverty provides. To such, a whipping-post might act as a deterrent, but the history of human nature does not augur well for that conclusion. To re-establish the whip- ping-post would be to acknowledge that modern ingenuity is incompetent to battle with modern problems, a confession that is yet to be made by science or any other art or profession: Government is progressive if successful, and it is not a wholesome kind of progress that seeks to go ahead by re- verting to conditions that were abandoned many years ago as degrading and useless. —___+ « = —__—__ Is There a Chance for Football? That part of the American public which is ayxicus that the noble game of football should not be further disgraced by ad- hhererce to the brutally-modern rules play that have prevailed for some seasons past is awaiting the first signs of a revul- sior of feeling in other quarters than Har- vard and Georgetown Universities, which have officially tabooed the rough sport as uprecessary and unmanly. The season for great games between the representatives of the various colleges is at hand, and it remains to be seen whether or not the in- telligent citizens of Washington will con- t:nue to support the game that last Thanks- giving day cost the life of one of the brightest young men who ever attended a Iccal institution. That game and its fatal result should long remain in the memories of the people here as a warning against the rough play that is made possible by the present rules. Football can yet be spared from total ostracism by being amended to make it reasonable and decent. The game that was played here by pro- fessionals for a short time last year demon- strated that the sport is subject to radical changes without altering its essential fea- tures, and without detracting from its at- tractiveness to those who love quick, in- telligent play, constant motion and clever- ress in strategic attack and defense. If the game couid only be rescued from the fad- dishness of the public who are prone to Support what is “the thing’ it might easily be made again the honored amusement it ence was, but unless other colleges follow in the foot-steps of Georgetown and Har- vard little is to be hoped for this year, as human nature is hard to reform. —>+-___ An Unobtrusive Missionary. Senator Brice’s assumption of indiffer- ence to details of Ohio politics is not un- worthy in a man of his pesition. He has tasted the joys of official and social glory; he has been recognized as a public power, and-~bis triumphs in the realms of the five- o'clock tea and the altitudinous handshake have not been inconsiderable. He has a reputation above the labor of conciliating individual votes. But Mr. Brice has rail- road business to attend to and he is obliged in its transaction to cover a good deal of ground in the state of Chio. And while he is getting over this ground inspecting round-houses and thumbing for cracked wheels in the rolling stock it would be gro: neglect for him not to say a sociable word or two on politics to the section hands. Of course Mr. Brice is not hustling for votes. That is Mr. Campbell's business. If there is any handshaking to be attended to Mr. Campbell is the man to look after it. If there ire any babies to be kissed, Mr. Campbell must prepare to pucker. The Senator's position is one of too much dig- nity to permit him to go into an active wrangle for the pie which should be, ac- cording to accepted tradition, tendered on a legislative saiver. But while he is apply- ing himself to the railroad business he can incidentally do a great deal of missionary work, and it is not to be believed that he will allow a personal sense of leftine: thai bane of political success—to pri vent his winning tke contidence and esteem of the yoemanry as the opportunity quietly presents itself. —___+ e ____ Twenty men only were at work this fine @ay on the city post-ofilce building. —___ +e > This is His Bany Season. President Cleveland has of course real- ized long ago that his election to be the Chief trate of the nation did not ab- sclve him from the or-iinary experiences of life, and he is about to eive an addi- tional preof of his Nabi to the annoy ance that bothers every man who takes @ vacation. When he went north KS ago to ta a rest to which he was clearly entitled, he knew full well that on his re- turn ke would be confronted with numer- ous ters of grave importance to which he could not possibly attend while away, r 1 by all the comforts of a com- private life. There w ails of administration that followed, but the bulk of the work remains. There is evidence to show that the Venezu boundary pute is yet to be handled with that firmness and fle- cisive that can be given to a diplo- matic affair only by ultimate he authority, acting at the seat of go Ment with the ad of his cabinet. The of the United States in this case ts importance. It is an opportunity for the Monroe doctrine such as ministration may not have again. ‘There have been other chances in the past, but they are gone. Again, the relations be- tween America and Spain with reference to the Cuban insurrection are growing tense. .wuss’n any whippil THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. If it be true, as reported, that the authority of our consul general at Havana has been curtailed by the action of the Spanish au- thorities, it will surely be incumbent upon the President to taka steps to prevent a continuance of such a humiliating state of affairs. Turkey seems to be on the point of being ca: to pleces by the European powers, and Uncle Sam, though not a mem- ber of this greedy dinner party, should look alive when the knife flashes and perhaps get the wishbone. There are interests at stake, both personal and commercial, of sufficient importance to make it advisable for the administration to be ready to act with promptness and decision when the powers fall to, acting as a neutral nation determined to protect its own. Fortunately, however, no American territory is here in- volved. But meanwhile Hawaii is torn be- tween rumors of an impending assault by the Japanese, and a notion that Princess Kaiulant is to be made the devisee of the Dole government. These ideas are base- less, to be sure, but they affect a state that is near to being a part of the American re- public, and it will be well for the govern- ment to keep on the alert. The would-be prize fighters may succeed in getting into trouble with the Interior Department, if they do not manage to come to blows them- selves, and this may mean more worry for the administration. So that, not counting bis preparatory literary labors incidental to the opening of Congress, the President is apt to have a very lively time of it dur Ing the coming six weeks. A Fashionable Pioneer. The bloomer question has achieved too imposing a maggitude to escape the omniv- erous attention of the scientist. Re- searches are being carefully made as to its origin. And when midnight-oll and grey matter are voluminously expended on the dorsal fin of a sea-creature or the forma- tion of a defunct megatherium’s funny- bone it is not to be doubted that a fitting topic for the consideration of the savant is Presented by so powerful a factor in the destinies of the human race as the bifur- cated garment threatens to become. It has been attributed to the luxurious abodes of the Orient, but a claim is presented which gives the American continent a strong position in the contest for the glory of originating the idea. The Eskimo young lady wears bloomers. She has worn them ever since the Eskimo race has existed. She has done the housework and chased walruses out of the front yard in that so- called fin de siecle garb for many genera- tions past, and to her should be given at least a fighting cance for the honor of being known as the pioneer new woman. It is true that she does not revel in tailor- made costumes, but she has no cause ‘to feel that she 1s behind the march of the modes. With seal-skin bloomers a matter of every day apparel to her she can still proudly claim to be a leader. ——__ee The collectors of statistics in comparing the relative wealth of states have tigured it out that Delaware could be bought for $59,951,643.
