THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY...............danuary 6, 189 —~- CROSBY 8. NOYES............... Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more th: the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. f'n order to avoid delays, on ac- sount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ee A Pound Party. The Evening Star Santa Claus Club will give a pound party in a few days for the benefit of the poor. Tbis organization has done effective work in the past in relieving distress and suffering, and it is to be called into service again this season to swell the supply of materials for distribution among those who are in want. It is not known as yet what day will be chosen for the pound party, but definite announcement will be made in ample season to give every- body who so desires a chance to contribute. Last year The Star held open house one winter day and a great room was com- Pletely filled with supplies of all kinds, which were afterward distributed in an effective manner by the established chari- table agencies. In fact, The Star's pound Party of "9 was a tremendous success, and it has passed into local history as a great outpouring of all kinds of valuable goods and materials, and a hearty response to a call for aid. The Santa Claus Club is to have charge this year of a similar affair, and it should produce even a greater success than that of a year ago. Pounds of every sort of article of food, loads of fuel, anything in the form of material re- quired by human life will be gratefully re- ceived. So all prepare now to give gen- erously when the pound party is held, and every one work hard for a great result that will place the poor of the District out of immediate want. Those who give may rest assured that every pound will be dis- tributed In the most effective manner pos- sible, and that every donation will be made robe Sin benefit to the poor without v- —-+o+—___ Insurgent Prospects in Cuba. Despite the fact that they are not recog- nized by this or any other government as having belligerent rights, the Cuban in- surgents appear today to be in practical control of the entire island except the large cities on the coast. They have surrounded Havana, the capital, and though that city is strongly fortified and protected by land and sea from invasion and capt.ire, the feeling appears to prevail inside the line of defenses that the city 1s in a state of siege. This has been accomplished by superior generalship on the part of the insurgent Jeaders. So far the fighting has been con- fined to small skirmishes, and the rebel leaders have managed to avoid any great battles. Though the advices from the is- land are not wholly reliable, being subject to official censorship when from the cities and to the bias of partizanship when from insurgent sources, there is no doubt that the success of the insurgents in pushing forward to Havana has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of their friends and has brought thousands of recruits to the revo- lutionary cause. The contagion of insur- gent success and enthusiasm appears to have swept the island from end to end. ‘The war has cost {pain dearly, not only in men and the means for conducting it, but in the loss of revenue from her richest col- ony, which is greatly impoverished by the devastation of insurrection. Rich planta- tions have been ruined, and the influence for peace of their owners has become Powerful. It is hardly to be expected that Havana, with its powerful defenses, will be captured by the rebels, but they have now Secured a position from which they can soon ask for foreign recognition with some measure of justice. . —__~es____ An Endless Chain. The United States sub-treasury was debtor at the clearing house in New York last Fri- day in the sum of over $4,000,000, all of which it paid in greenbacks. This large debit was mostly made up of checks for interest due on United States bonds, and thus a strange Spectecle is presented. Greenbacks paid out in liquidation of the interest on former treasury obligations immediately became available for use to withdraw gold from the treasury and to increase the necessity for other bond issues which perhaps will in turn be the cause of other debit charges against the sub-treasury for interest. Here on a small scale ts the “endless chain,” of which the Secretary of the Treasury and the Pres- ident complain. The operations against the ‘Treasury, followed by operations ostensibly for its relief, are confined to the great money center of the country. The people have no desire to demand gold for their greenbacks. Not being in the business of squeezing the treasury dry and then refilling it at a tre- mendous profit, the people themselves are content to take the word of the government and to place their faith in its promises to re- deem its outstanding non-interest bearing obligations whenever the necessity may arise. This is the difference between the honest creditor of the government and the speculator who takes advantage of the fact that the treasury is running on a narrow margin of revenues and needs frequent re- plenishment. —__+e2—____ Salisbury is the Mam to Talk To. It is a great waste of energy for the International Arbitration and Peace Asso- ciation of Great Britain to send resolu- tions to this city for the ostensible purpose of inducing President Cleveland to so modify his attitcde on the Venezuelan matter that it may be submitted to arbi- tration. President Cleveland has taken no steps that call for such expressions from abroad. He desired arbitration and his Policy has been to place on England the burden of granting or denying this reason- able request. Lord Salisbury is the one to whom the peace associations should ad- dress themselves. If unhappy consequences should result from the present complica- tion It will be his fault, and his alone, for stubbornly retusing to submit to arbitration the plain issues of fact. +0ee When British assurance gets in the same track with Emperor William's self-esteem there are some very startling collision pos- sibilities. —_———_~> e+ _____ It will probably not be long before the Cuban insurgents move and capture the Spanish typewriters and editorial corps. —_+ + ____ The Need of Present Generosity. Generous and charitable Washingtonians should not wait for a formal appeal to be made to them by the Emergency Relief Committee before giving freely and cheer- fully to the poor who are now suffering for food, fuel and ciothing. Money and material given now, in the stress of weather that pre- vails, will be of much more service than if given later, when the temperature has re- turned to the normal. Soon the snow will come to add to the misery of those who have no employment and no means. A system- atie canvass of the city is eventually pro- ductive of the best results, and it Is the only sure means of thoroughly reaping the harvest of charity, but many who can give and are so disposed require no more than a hint that there is need for aid in order to be stimulated to commendable generosity. There is no lack of guarantee that the Toney and materials given to the proper egencies will be expended with the best results. Many people prefer to do their own is highly commendable, but if done without any regard whatever to the work of others it may lead to a wasting of funds and ma- terials, for duplications are always possible in such a large city. It is well for those who are pleased to personally superintend the distribution of the money or goods they de- vote to charity to work in co-operation with @ central agency, so as to conserve all the means available. Other people prefer to work directly through such agencies, giving generously to the main fund and leaving the detaile of distribution to those trained in such work. The hearty and harmonious support of both classes is necessary when- ever the voice of the poor is heard calling for help, and it will surely be given now. —_——_ 0 The Call for Bonds. ‘The administration has made a concession in issuing a cali for a “popular” loan, to take the form of four per cent bonds run- ning twenty-nine years from February 5 next. There is no doubt that there was great apprehension among the people lest the Treasury should once again fall into the hungry maw of Wall street, and the at- mosphere for some days has been heavy with a feeling of discontent. ‘The invitation for bids to be opened at the Treasury De- partment disarms those critics of the ad- ministration who feared that there was to be another private sale of bonds. The in- troduction of the usual clause into the cir- cular reserving the right to reject any or all of tke bids leave’ it possible for the De- partment to give all the bonds to a syndi- cate of bankers at its own terms if it so prefers. But this clause is regarded as a necessary safeguard, and it is difficult to plan any issue of bonds with the expecta- tion of reducing the interest charge by en- couraging the payment of premiums s0 that the securities will be taken by the People, and not by the bankers. So it re- mains to be seen whether the loan will in effect be “popular” or not. 4 ‘There Is slight reason on the surface for dating the bonds a year back, so as to make them run twenty-nine instead of thirty years. While this reduces the to- tal interest charge by upward of $4,000,000, it also reduces the market value of the bonds and may have a depressing effect upon the bids. The clause that looks to the issue of other bonds under the opera- tions of an act of Congress that may be forthcoming before February 5 has the ef- fect of nullifying any possible legislation except in the direction of increasing the Fublic debt to the extent of the second is- sue, at a reduced rate of interest, it may be. In view of this fact it is difficult to Perceive how this announcement by Sec- retary Carlisle will hasten legislation. ++ _____ It must be a little disappointing to the persons who are to subscribe to a popular Ican to find that this privilege is extended to them with the expectation that they will pay more money than a syndicate was will- ing to give for the same article. —_\!_++=—____ Governor Altgeld has another year to serve.

And I should hate to think that you were deceiving me. But I over- heard you say to that friend of yours who talks about horses so much that you weuldn’t take anything but even money.” A Natural Query. “Waiter!” exclaimed the man in the res- taurant where they have no filter. “Yes, sir.” “Is this the drinking water or the con- somme?” At Last. There comes a smile upon his face Where once was gloom and doubt; Those Christmas neckties that he got Will soon be quite worn out. A Future Convenience. Diggles had been working hard for a long time with a refractory heating apparatus. |- He came out of the basement with blue fingers and a red rose, and an expression of repressed emotion on his face. “Maria,” he said, “there’s one comfort about it.” “What is it?” ' “We needn't worry about ice next sum- mer. I think I have struck a plan that’s entirely reliable. If we want to get any- thing good and cold we'll take it down and put it into that heating apparatus. Only we must be careful nut to leave it too long, or it'll freeze.” An Ambition. This “Rule Britannia” seems to take Somehow a minor strain— The song which causes lands to quake And soothes the raging main. A soft, pathetic tremolo Has crept into the tune; A note of helpless lingering woe, For Johnny wants the moon. In Africa and Asia wide He has a playground fair; But still he pines, dissatisfied, For merry sport elsewhere. Amid the playthings which around His ample home are strewn, In grievous mood the lad is found, For Johnny wants the moon. England's Great Opportunity. From the New York Tribune. Now, momentous and ominous as the pres- ent situation is for Great Britain, it also offers such aa opportunity for advantage as comes to a nation but once in a century. A frank recognition by the British Govern- ment of the facts developed by Mr. Norman at Washington, and diplomatic action in accordance therewith, would In a moment reduce this whole Venezuelan dispute to the level of a simple and perfectly friendly businegs negotiation. It would disarm all hestile criticism and restore between Great Britain and America these friendly and sym- pathetic relations which formerly existed, end which were disturbed only by a decision of the British Government, which one of the best informed of British authorities now declares to have been unjustifiable and un- warranted. It would be the recognition and rectification of an error, not which we have charged against them, but which the British themselves have discovered.
