THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1896—FOURTEEN PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WUESDAY.. -.........-.--.- April 21, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Cireulation much more than the combined eir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As x News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7m order to avold delays, om 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 Editor! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Arbitration Conference. ‘Three hundred and fifty representative men of the country are expected here to- morrow to actively participate in the Arbi- tration Congress—a body which will devote its energies to the task of bringing about international agreement to substitute equit- able and peaceful settlement of differences between nations for, the unreasoning and sometimes unjust arbitrament of the sword. Coming, a8 these delegates do, from thirty- eight states they will contriute to the dis- cussion all or nearly all the shades of arbi- tration doctrine, and’ they should be able to frame a plan which will be thoroughly practical and sufficiently comprehensive. As yet the conference is without a pro- gram. A place of meeting, a temporary or- ganization and sufficient opening addresses have been provided for, but beyond those primary essentials everything will be in the hands of the conference itself. There has been no declaration of views to support which the conference is to be urged; every delegate will be given opportunity to make known his ideas, and when the utterances are completed there will be sincere en- deavor to bring about harmonious conclu- sion in such shape that legislation favoring its existence may be urged by every friend of honorable peace. The time is ripe for this crusade and it is fitting that this noblest movement of the century should have its origin in the United States and its first national expression at the national capital. Inasmuch as the forthcoming conferenc2 promises to be one of historic features of a mission which is tined sooner or later to revolutionize for the better earth's condi- tions there should be no lack of Washington interest in its proceedings; every thought- ful resident of the capital city should es- teem it a pleasurable duty to be concerned in the conference and its noble work. —__~+ += Boys Can Fight. Of the thirty-five thousand Cubans alleg- ed by the Spanish authorities to be actively ergaged in the field three thousand are under twenty years of age. So says Gen- eral Weyler’s statistician, and he says it for the purpose of impressing Americans with the instability of the revolutionary ca n. Weyler must have a very poor opinion of Ameritan intelligence if he imagines that such testimony will have any effect upen starred and striped sympathy. Does he not know that the bulk of both the Union and Confederate armies was composed of youngsters who, when they were mustered in, had not reached the voting age? “Boys in blue” and “boys in gray” they were called by rt respective admirers, and boys they + In the most literal sense of the term. Many of them loyally perjured themselves when asked their age, for the truth would have prevented enlistment. Filled to over- flowing with the ardor of youth and anx- ious to seize any opportunity to do some- thing and be somebody the young men of the country—north and south—crowded the recruiting offices and speedily found their way to places where superabundant energy and the recklessness of youth wrought agnificently until service at the front oped that calmer courage which dis- e3 the veteran and wins battles. te likely that the three thousand boys in the Cuban army will cause Spain more concern than would an equal number of mature men. ——__+ ++ —_____ A Law-Abiding Citizen's Duty. That was remarkable doctrine which was advanced by counsel for the defense in acme of the oleomargarine cases—that there vas impropriety in the conduct of a man who sought to bring about the enforcement of law. Of course the juries paid no atten- tion to the intimation; it was really imma- terial as to who made it possible to secure the testimony which resulted in convictions. That a private citizen should have found it necessary to do so may be somewhat re- markable, in view of the fact that there are many officials whose duty it was and 1s to Protect the public from such frauds as have been and are being perpetrated upon it by dealers who purvey imitation and adulterated food products. A monstrous state of affairs would ensue upon judicial declaration that the enforcement of law is a burden resting only upon official shoul- ders. It is therefore matter of public con- gratulation that Justice Cole in his charge to a jury in one of the oleomargarine cases offset and upset the sneering endeavors of those who thought to evade legal punish- ment by impugning the motives of a law- abiding citizen who refused to permit the community in general anu himself in par- Ucular to be injured through unpunished infractions of a just law ——— 6 ‘This is an occasion when the person who says, “I told you so,” may be indulged to the extent of reminding the B. and O. rail- Way that if a portion of that twelve mil- lion, five hundred thousand dollars had been expended in elevating the tracks there Would at least be something to show for it. ———_ + «+ In forwarding verbatim to the esteemed w York Journal The Star's interesting and important news chafiter concerning the missing millions of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the Journal's Washington cor- respondent inadvertently neglected to make use of the appropriate quotation marks. —— ee President Cleveland is doubtless opposed to a third term; but he may feel some deli- cacy about placing his own opinions in op- position to those of his party, should they tend In another direction. — +> ____ It may, before very long, become a recog- nized rule in the democratic party that no gentleman cam be regitded as a candidate for the nomination until he has declined it. —_~++__. ‘The new post-office Nas succeeded In bringing thé overhead woodpile into almost as much disgraceful notoriety as the over- head trolley has enjoyed, ———— Senator Quay persists im becoming near- sighted whenever Dave Martin waves the flag of truce. ——__e+__ The Raines Bill Surprise. The Raines bill, as administered, is some- thing of a surprise. Instead of being a temperance measure of extreme severity, it Is construed to contain accommodating features of mveh leniency. ‘Tap-rooms do not close up at its bare approach, nor ts the occupation of the barkeeper gone. Dry Sundays need not prevail in any city or town where the liquor dealers are men of enterprise. Naturally, therefore, the ques- tion comes up: If the present construction of the law Is to hold good, and the law is to continue to be administered as at pres- ent construed, what has been accomplished by the law but to Increase the amount of liquor license? There have been those from the outset to question the whole demonstration. It seemed strange to those men that Thomas €. Platt should appear as the champion and deviser of a measure seriously calcu- lated to advance the cause of restraining the liquor traffic. Mr. Platt as a party manager is one of the shrewdest of his class. He works in the town districts as well as the country districts. He spreads his nets for game in any quarter. So, when the Raines bill was brought forward, with the explanation by its author, one of Mr. Platt’s lieutenants, that it would-not only greatly diminish the number of drinking places In the state, but hedge round those that remained with stricter regulations, the suspicions of the anti-Platt republicans were aroused. They declared that, at bot- tom, it was but a scheme to establish a huge machine, which Mr. Platt in some way would contrive to use in his business as boss. And these men now feel confirmed in that opinion. The whole excise depart- ment of the state is in Mr. Platt’s hands, with his friends holding the places from highest to iowest, and if the law may be administered without hurt to the Hquor interests, what is to prevent Mr. Platt from making himself very solid with the saloon element? Will this develorment force the demo- erats to recast their calculations for the state campaign? They haye been very ju- bilant over their prospects of success in the state this year. The Raines bill seemed to them to carry with it every augury of democratic victory. Candidates for state offices came out promptly and almost as numcrously as the spring leaves. Will this confidence continue? It rests exclusively on the Raines bill. If that fails them, have the democrats any other reasons for rallying their party? The national situa- tion does not appear to comfort them at all. Will Belmont, Stanchfield, Thacher et al. go on with their wrestle for the guber- natorial nemination? — . wee - —_ Where is the Remedy? “Tradesman’s” suggestions in last night's Star, that Congress should legislate pun- ishment for gcevernment employes who do not pay their debts doubtless ‘had its origin in serious grievances. Yet it is question- able whether the effort to collect bills by act of Congress would be the better course. A hard and fast statute might work injus- tice in cases where the failure to cancel the indebtedness was not’ due to dishonest unwillingness, but rather to personal or collateral disability. The remedy 1s now in the hands of those who control the execu- tive departments, and it seems likely that those responsible officials would, if they were properly approached, see to it that none of their subordinates defraud cred- itors. —____+ ¢+—_____ Nobody would seriously demand that Senator Tillman cease his promulgation of words. It wold be a physical impossibility for him to do so, ard besides it is neces- sary for some pubiic men to keep talking constantly in order to let their constitu- ents know that they exist. But it would be a great rhetorical relief if he would cultivate the comparatively innocuous epi- gram habit and let epithets alone for a time. + 6-2 Only one hundred and twenty-nine men were employed upon the city post-office building today, say those in authority. Censtruction of the inflammable roof was continued, although it now seems reagona- bly certain that the House of Representa- tives will agree to the Senate joint resolu- tion ordering the roof to be torn down and replaced by a fireproof covering. Philadeiphia McKinleyites are convinced that, next to stuffing the ballot box, nothing so shakes the bulwarks of American free- dom as for somebedy to run away with all the complimentary tickets for a demonstra- tion. —___ e +___ It would be very unkind of Mr. Hill to take advantage of his position as cham- pion of the administration to sing It @ siren song represerting the democratic nomination as a sure thing. —____++ + ____ It might be well to delay operations on the new post-office clock somewhat so as to save the wear and tear of ticking off the time that will elapse before the com- pletion of the structure. —___+ +e —___ It can be cenfidently asserted that the not distant future will bring to Nght pain- ful evideaces of overproduction in several branches of the campaign button industry. 2 ‘The weather bureau will confer a favor on the fruit-growers and the public at large if it will keep the promised cold wave within the limits of moderation. —_—___~+- — In the matter of Cuban reform, it will be rather difficult for Spain to assume an air of magnanimity that is at all convine- ing. + oe SHOOTING STARS. Mach Needed. “I'm glad to see that one thing has been brought to the attention of Congress,” said the man who is perpetually indignant. “What do you mean?” The necessity for a universal standing of weights and measures. What we want right away is some scheme that'll make fifty pounds of Ice weigh just as much in July as it does in April.” Indisputable. Day in and day out some satirical churl Is flinging a jest at the fair bloomer girl; But there’s this to be mentioned—deny it who can— She's sightlier far than the bloomer young man.

Did you notice how many times the horse ridden by that little colored boy won “Well, I've heard a great many people say they were willing to bet on a dark horse. I think it's a good deal safer to bet on a dark jockey.” “y “In dishere life,” said Uncle Eben, “de man dat's lookin’ foh trouble mos’ always doan’ hab ter put on ‘Is spectacles ter fin’ it.” Forced to It. “I am afraid,” said the eminent states- man’s wife, “that you are making a mis- take.” “How?” “By constantly declaring that if you are rominated it will be against your will.” “But I've got to do something to keep them reminded that I'm eligible, haven't at” Strategy. “General,"’ said the Spanish subordinate, band of the Cubans is approaching. Shall we stand and give them battle.” “No. Let's see if we can’t get quietly around behind them and pursue ‘em. It sounds all right in the dispatches and it is a good deal safer.”’ Im April.
