8 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL eae. 1896-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY...............April 30, 1896. CROSBY 8. NOYES...........-....-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- 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 Depar ments, according to tenor or purpo: Ousted the Gambling Thugs. The Meupin bill having been declared constitutional and otherwise sound by the Virginia Court af Appeals it is reasonably certain that Washington will no more be degraded and injured by proximity to the crime-breeding race-trscks In Alexandria county. When the decent elements in New Jersey and New York successfully com- bined to oust the race-track gamblers from places that had through association with the thugs and thieves become notorious the evicted crimirals male their way to Vir- ginia, and there, on the southwestern bor- der of this city, established themselves. Their schemes might have been nipped in the bud had the primary administration cf law im Alexandria county been vested in conscientious, courageous men, but it was unfortunately the case that those who should have been among the foremost in repelling the invasion were cordial In thelr welcome. Being instantly made aware of the undesirable character of those who had come to make Washington their prey, some active public-spirited citizens of this com- munity—urged thereto by The Star—organ- ized a crusade which, after many delays and discouragements, awakened honorable Virginia to a sense of the situation and ultimately brought aout the enactment of a statute which seems sufficient to shut out the horde of gamblers. Before the Maupin law went into effect there was winter-racing with all its attendant cru- elty, and that, in conjunction with the in- crease of lawlessness due directly to the race-followers, was more than any self-re- specting legislature could stand. The Dis- trict of Columbia congratulates Virginia cn its position in this important matter and also congratulates itself that an influ- ence for evil has been wiped out of local existence. —-— + 62 An Awful Threat. Senator William Morris Stewart, of Ne- vada, has more of benevolence in his ap- pearance than any other member of the na- tional legislature. His genial features and his long white mustache and flowing beard have caused people long past the impres- sionable age of childhood to remark upon the Senator’s resemblance to the children’s premier saint—Santa Claus. But appear- ances are often deceptive. As a matter of fact Senator Stewart gives evidence of pos- sessing the instincts of a grand inqulsltor; he has none of that human sympathy which should find lodgment in the breasts of all mankind. He developed his disregard for the general welfare yesterday afternoon when, in concluding a few unusually brief remarks about the crime of ” he said: “I desire to give notice to the gold-stand- ard advocates that in case any one of them attempts to justify the criminal method by which silver was demonetized, or to argue that the gold standard is beneficial to the community, I will answer his arguments at length. All that is required to induce me to make a full and complete speech on the sil- ver question, though It may take weeks, ts an inauguration of debate by some gold- standard man in the Senate. It Is safe to assert that never since Con- gress commenced to be has any such por- tentous threat been hurled at any party or faction, to say nothing of the general and unoffending pablic. There was no rejoinder, nor is there lkely to be. Many of the Sena- tors who heard the Stewart ultimatum are brave m ‘ir courage has been tested on the battle id, but yesterday they shud- dered and were slient. ——_~+-++_ ‘The Real Difficulty. The real difficulty tn local colored educa- tion Is not in the complexion of trustees or teachers, but In the kind of training sup- plied. The educational field in which the colored people are laboring Is too narrow and teo short, and the soil thereof raises only professional men and weeds. The ne- cessity of the hour ts diversity of crop. There should be in this city a public Instl- tution in which boys and girls could be trained to usefulness along other lines than law, medicine and school-teaching. AU the colored schcol-children cannot find employment in those industries any more than all the white children. Some must be hewers of wood and drawers of wat. and what they need is Instruction whi will make their hewing and drawing su- perfor to the hewing and drawing of the untrained, and, therefore, more profitable. Successful dressmaking is an art, clever millinery is poetic, fine cooking is a scl- ence; why may not many who would, under present conditions, push unsuccessfully to- ward the already overcrowded professiohs devote themselves to honorable toil that calls for physical as weil as mental activ- ity? If Congress will only endorse the recommendation of the Buard of School Trustees and give to the colored youth of the District a well-equipped industrial in- stitute there will be no more growling In mass-meeting about the complexion of col- ored school trustees. ———_ +2 ting Attorney Pugh has a clear case against the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Rallway Company. There ought to be no trouble In securing more than the necessary testimony to show that that corporation has made no use whatever of its tracks from the Intersection of G street and New Jersey avenue along G street to thence to New Unused railway tracks are @ to the extent of corstituting a public nuisance—and should be removed as soon as possible. ——___++-+ —_ Only one hundred and seventy-four men were tolling today on the city post-office building; a considerable proportion en- gaged on the tinder-box roof, which the Supervising Architect of the Treasury con- demns and praises. + e@+- The Hawley Militia Bill. Congress has talked a great deal about “diplomatic complications with other coun- tries and has made some sort of provision for coast defenses and an increase in our naval strength, but it has not yet done anything likely to bring about needed bet- terment in our military forces. The neces- sity for army reorganization has been fre- quently urged, but confliciing opinions have wrought disturbance and delay so that legislation during the present session may not reasonably be expected. But there is before Congress a bill which deserves im- mediate consideration and in behalf of which too much cannot easily be said. It is Senator Hawley’s bill to promote the efficiency of the militia. The passage of that oc a similar measure is more essen- tial than any other military legislation now before Congress, for until there is amend- ment of the ancient militia _law—good enough in its day—the volunteer forces of the United States will be in a more or less disorganized condition and comparatively Inefficient and vatueless in time of national peril. Few people have any idea as to the provisions of the law which is today a liv- ing and operative statute. In that relic of @ bygone age it is provided that it shall be the duty <f every commaading officer of a Prosec North Capitol street ane York avenue. company to enroll every unexempted citl- zen betweeen the ages of eighteen and forty-five who resides within the geograph- ical limits prescribed for his company, and then the law proceeds to say that “Every citizen shall, after notice of his enrollment, be constantly provided with a good musket or firelock, of a bore sufficient for balls of the eighteenth part of a pound, @ sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch with a box therein to contain not less than twenty- four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cariridge to con- tain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot pouck, and powder horn, twenty balls sulted to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder, and shall appear so armed, accoutered, and provided when called out to exercise or into service, ex- cept that when called out on company days to exercise only he may appear with- out knapsack; and all arms, ammunition and accouterments so provided and re- quired shall be held exempted from all Suits, distresses, executions, or sales for debt or for the payment of taxes. Each commissioned officer shall be armed with a sword or hanger and spontoon.” The utter absurdity of such a statute should at once be apparent to everyone; that it is still a law is remarkable when we remember how the National Guards of the various states and territorles—with the District of Columbia we!l up in the front rank—have done their utmost to keep step with the onward march of world-wide mil- itary efficiency. The Hawley bill is con- servative throughout. It does not ask for any increase of the appropriation annually made by Congress toward the support of the militia no= does it imperil the existence of state troops. It is a clearly-worded and desirable substitute for a musty statute that should have been buried long long ago. If the Hawley bill becomes law—and there is no rational reason why it should not be passed without debate—it will result in al- most immediate increase of militia efficl- ency and in five years it would give us a volunteer force that would be as gcod in the fleld as on paper; a force to be relled upon in the hour of need. ———~+--+____ In connection with Mr. Carnegie’s asser- tion that he went into the business as a mat- ter of patriotism, it is to be assumed that he does not wish to have the quality of his patriotism judged by the quality of some of his armor plate. ———~+e-__- “Jewish Comment” is an excellent publi- cation at all times and a crodit to Balti- more journalism, but its anniversary num- ber is conspicuously good, both in a Iterary sense and typographically.

Preparations. “My dear,” said Senator Breezibarb’s wife, “do you know you are contracting the habit of taliing in your sleep?” “That is not a habit. It is an accomplish- ment. I've been practicing so as to be fully equipped for the speech which I contem- plate delivering for time-consuming pur- pcses.”” Encouragement. We must be joyful as we hear The politicians’ song; For all have promised us good times, And so we can’t go wrong. Approximate. “When did that famous defense of the pass at Thermopylae take place?" asked Dolly Cumrox, who is studying the classics. “I can’t say,” her father replied, “with any precision. I have a bad memory for dates. But it must have been since the interstate commerce commission was es- tablished.” A Serious Difficulty. “It's kind of hard to ratse a boy just right Mr. Blykins remarked, thoughtfully. “Bring nis attention to the records of the country’s great men,” said his wife. “Of course. But somehow the fact that Geowse Washington never told a Ile doesn't seem to make as much impression on his mind as does the discovery that his favor- ite base ball player uses tobacco and bad grammar.” Tconoclasm. “Things are gettin’ very peculiar,” said an old farmer who has voted the same way for fifty years or more. “Things are get- tin’ all mixed up.

His paid agents have made Hunt his bill will pass the House this session, though the chances are twenty to one it will fail. Huntington is getting feeble and shows visible signs of a collapse.
