The extraordinary mildness of the season has apparently persuaded the well-to-do people of the District that there Is little need this year for charitable work among the poor. The citizens have up to this time failed to respond with their usual prompt- hess to the general appeal for funds issued by the Central Rellef Committee, and this failure is attributed to the fact that the pressure for aid upon the various charitable agencies, while steady and imperative, has at no time this winter become so great as to come sharply to the public notice, and the need for money and materials has not been obvious and acute enough to give irresistible force to the invitation to con- It is now apparent that more y must be had. If it cannot be ob- tained by general contributions without personal solicitation it must be raised by means of a house-to-house canvass, the last resort in all such cases of emergency. ‘This process is undestrable, for it not only the people but creates the impres- sion that the charitable agencies are secur- ing large funds which may perhaps be wastefully or carelessly distributed and the cemand for relief becomes greater in pro- portion and the undeserving are encouraged The chairman of ommittee of the Central Relief tee announces that unless there is re generous response to the general fore the close of this week than to attempt impositions. the finane Commi has been previously the plan of ividual solicitation must be adopted, with all its embarrassments.

No harm will come from that sort of talk. It shows elther an utter lack of knowledge of the personnel of the conference, or an utter lack of fairness in stating the situation. A Blance at the list of delegates and of the interests represented reveals the fact that the meeting takes into account the welfare of the whole country, and fs entitled on that account to the respectful attention of the country. It will receive that attention. The noisy agitators who seek to put all property rights under the ban; who can see nothing but dishonest greed in the laying of a pro- tective tari’; who apply the name of Shy- lock to all bankers; whose only argument is railing, and whose only scheme is a dream, cannot seriously hinder or obscure the truth. The men who are daily engaged in business and daily apply business principles are certainly well ent'tled to be heard at a worthy of close reformatory attention. Little, however, was done to bring to iight the facts and figures of alley life, though the situation In these by-ways nas been xenerally understood to be unwholesome, until the Clyie Center undertook this task. But it was without means to make more than a preliminary examinatioa of the i, being aided by certam individual ‘ cf value In the same direction. The conelusions drawn from the observations thus far made are of interest and im- wrtance and indicate strongly the advis- ity of a complete research, such as the vie Center suggests should be conducted by various organizations and by the local authorities. By means of co-operation these agencies should easily be able to cover the ground and produce a statistical statement of great service !n the future consideration of the problem of how best to hotse the local poor. But remedial measures aimed at the unsanitary and im- moral conditions now known to exist or the enforcement of existing laws to the same end need not be postponzd pending such a thorough survey. ——~++s___ Philadelphia's Quest. Philadelphia's common council has just assed an ordinance decreeing that hereaf- all fenders used on street cars must be ed with springs that will press the foremost part close to the tracks and with zn automatic appliance that will raise the fender as soon as it strikes an object. It is ain that the city fathers of Philadelphia are after a fender that will really fend Want a device that will not act as a the. or hail, catching human obstruc- ons on the shins and breaking a few bones @ gentle preparation for the treatment » follow. They seem to be following the rhaps foolish but certainly popular theory that it is unnecessary that fenders should be hung anywhere from six to sixteen inches from the rails, serving merely as questionable ornaments rather than as fety devices. Such a theory prevails = the citizens of Washington, who would be pleased to see the local regula- fons so amended as to include the eml- ently wise stipulations of the new Phila- delphia ordinance, particularly now that the plea of the street railways for an extension of the legal speed limit has been granted. The s of Washington gre perfectly adapted to such a device as that proposed in Philadelphia, notwithstanding the argu- ment of the railway companies, advanced whenever the fender question is in evidence, that It is impossible to lower the fender to the street level on account of the oscilia- tion of the car. —_+--+___ Possibly some of the gentlemen in the House of Representatives might be in- duced to sign an arbitration treaty Instead of ventilating their personal animosities in public. —_+ es —___ Nothing has yet been done to protect neighboring states from invasion by the trusts which have been driven out of Georgia. ————++e___ The projectors of that Seely exhibition never imagined that these after-dinner re- marks would occupy so much time. —————~++e—____ t Mr. Weyler is at the present time en- gaged in strenuously objecting to the man ner in which Money talks. > —_+2—____ The Indianapolis Conference. The monetary conference at Indianapolis opens with good augury. The attendancé is large and thoroughly representative. It is to be regretted that the west shows less interest than her sister sections, but her absence from the meeting may not result in epposition to the decision reached. The west Is oppressed by disappointment just now. But as what will benefit her sister sections must operate also to benefit her, she may reasonably be expected to at least zive to the proceedings a careful examina- tion, Chairman Patterson seems to have de- livered himself with much felicity upon taking the gavel. He spoke for an ade- quate revenue for the support of the gov- ernment, for maintaining the present high standard of value, for an increased use of silver convertible at par into gold, for in- ternational bimetallism even, if it can be secured, and for a safe enlargement of the banking facilities of the whole country. These, it is true, ere only generalities, but they are generalities which mark the only course the country can afford to take. Guided by them, as doubtless it will be, the conterence In proceeding to particulars is very likely to evolve something of practical Value. Criticism of the conference still continues ere and there. It seems sufficient for some time when, for a very great variety of causes, the business world—and with that world all men are nearly or remotely con- nected—stands in need of sane and experi- enced counsel. Arbitration vs, War. The signing of an arbitration treaty by representatives of the executive branches of the governments of the United States and Great Britain is an event of the great- est interest and importance. Its signifi- cance as an indication of friendly feeling between the two nations and as a precedent for the settlement of Iinternatioral dis- putes by other tribunals than that of war will not be lost, even though the terms of the present treaty should appear, when examined by the Senate, to be inadequate or objectionable in certain details. Effec- tive arbitration is agreed upon concerning t™oney disputes, and there is recognition of the fact that territorial controversies ought to be disposed of by amicable negotiations between the parties, or, these failing, through the mediation of a friendly power. Whatever may be the fate of this treaty, it may safely be concluded from the spirit shown on both sides in negotiating it, that there will never in all probability be war between the United States and Great Britain over money matters, and never, except as a last and remote resource after the exhaustion of the alternatives sug- gested by the treaty, in the case of terri- torial disputes. ————_~++____ It might save tne feelings of readers of the Congressional Record if some of the members of the House of Representatives would content themselves with sending one another comic valentines. ———>+e—____ ‘The government regrets to inform the Pacific Railroads that since the disapproval aroused by the bond issue it has been hav- ing trouble enough with its own I O U's. ————+ee—___ The fifth anniversary of the commence- ment of work on the “new” city post office building is approaching, and yet there were but forty men at work today. ——>+2—____ Captain Chapman slightly varied the usual experience with policemen by arriv- ing at the scene of the Seely disturbance too early instead of too late. —___- ++ In the interests of the inauguration cere- monies it is to be hoped that winter will refrain from lingering in the lap of spring this year. Mr. Wanamaker may see fit to reserve any further remarks until the subscription beoks for another national campaign ure opened. oo ___ Perhaps Mr. Huntington contemplates bringing action against the United States government for desertion and failute to support. SHOOTING STARS. A Subtle Distinction. “Dear me!” remarked one girl, “her par- ents must be very much displeased with her engagement to that musician. It is even worse than I thought.” “On what do you base your opinion?” “They used to refer to him as a violinist. Now they say that he plays the fiddle.” A Practical Prima Donna. “Do you think,” asked the young man who was preparing some interviews with great people on trivial topics, “that a light opera singer should marry, if she is really end truly ambitious to succeed in her art?” The queen of burlesque stopped reading what her press agent had written long enough to respond: “Surely, sir, you cannot be serious. If we didn’t marry, how could the papers say anything about our divorces?” An Untimely Afterthought. A toast to the treaty! Let's hope ‘twill in- crease Our joys, though the cynic may snicker; ‘Twill stand as a glorious assurance of peace— Or a pretext for subsequent bicker. His Regret. “I guess I have made a mistake,” re- marked the war correspondent, gloomily. “My methods are too old-fashioned.” “But you were one of the very first to reach the scene of the strife.” “That's where some of my competitors got the better of me. I ought to have staid close to the home office where I could get my copy in early and obtain some hint of the kind of news the other fellows were composing.” An Awakening Confidence. Mr. Cumrox, whose sight is not strong, had been struggling with deficient illumina- tion for some time. “Here's another case,” he exclaimed, as he started on a new pag: ‘Another case of what?” asked his wife. “Of a man’s blowing the light out and getting asphyxiated. I iell you ii’s been getting so common that it has set me to thinking. You and I might as well go and see an oculist and get measured for some rew glasses. This gas must be a good deal stronger than we have given it credit for.” A Parody for the Present. * ‘What though a lassie don the breek, ‘WI!’ bloomers braw and a’ that?

From the Philadelphia Press, Ambassador Bayard has been weeping again over the wondrous spectacle of John Bull and Jonathan locked in a friendly embrace through bis good offices. Does it ever occur to the tender-hearted Dela- warean that Ambassador Pauncefote is ominously silent on this side the water? No American newspaper has to chronicle what Sir Julian said at the Mutual Admir- ers’ annual banquet or when he laid the cornerstone of the Hail Columbia Gram- mar School, or assisted in celebrating the evacuation of New York by the British, or General Jackson's vic- ‘THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1897-12 PAGES. “If they’re Rich’s Shoes, they’re proper.’’ Ten-two F Street.
