Provided a Star Employe Will Verify
Ith Circulation Statement.
The met ho Is of the disciples of Ananias
areas varied and entertaining as t ha antics
of a comedian. There is the healthy, rooust
falsifier, -who fibs for the fun of it. and
also the kind -who soberly tells a whopper
as a tuaUer of duty. Then there Is the
cheerful Idiot, who cracks a Rounder be
cause he can't help It. and others of which
we alt know. But of them all. none can
equal the champion circulation liar, our
beloved contemporary, the Evening Star.
Saturday evening, this duly qualified
truth -stretcher, published the following
announcement, which, although the result
or a constitutional defect, should not pass
unnoticed:
The family circul?Uon of the Star Is
many thousands in excess of any other
Washlnztou paper, and is lielieved to be
fully five limes that of our afternoon
contemporary.
The Times is of the opinion that this lie
Is rully as extravagant as the one Gulliver
told about the Lilliputians; but as tho Star
won't kiv a word when orfered a large
sum of money to prove its circulation state
ment, nor dare to show up its books, in
comparison with thoieof itseontemporarles,
there seems to be no way to substantiate
this statement of falsity except to bribo
one or more persons connected with our
contemporary.
To that end The Times will pay ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS to any person or
persons connected with the Star furnish
ing satisfactory evidence of the truthful
ness of the above statement. The amount
will bo deposited In any bank the said
person or persons connected with the Ftar
may designate at the thee notice is given
that the information is ready, ami should it
be decided by a committee appointed for
that purpose that the claim of the Star Is
correct the thousand dollars ! to Ijeexnc
the property of the said person or persons
connected -with the Star furnishing the de
Ired evidence. In any event, it is under
stood that the result of the committee's
investigation shall be publi.-hed. so that the
public may know the extent of the false
hood. By consulting the two circulation state
ments readers will see that The Times
gained more titan three Hires the nurnlwr
of readers that the Star did last week.
The aggregate circulation of The Times
was 271.214. while that Of the Star was
only la".984, which shows conclusively
that the circulation of The Times fos-Uie
week was fa3,230 greater than that of the
Star.

Mr. Allison and
Speculation -as to the probable success
of the various candidates for Presidential
honors necessarily leads to a discussion
as to their fitness. Of the Republicans,
McKlnley, Reed, Morton and Allison are
most prominentia the rate, and the Demo
crats are anticipating the candidacy of
Carlisle, Olney, Moirisoti, Stevenson. Hill
and Cleveland. The points to be consid
ered when debating their availability arc,
first, 'their business standing and associa
tions, arter which the political career and
public life of each should demand atten
tion. McKlnley, as the-leading factor in the
Republican Presidential outfit, presents a
peculiar combination of unrestricted in
competency. As a business man he was
a pronounced failure to such a degree that
thennMstanceor his liiends was necessary
to keep him frcm bankruptcy. Ills career
as a lawyer lacked the element of success,
audit wasonlj in Congress, as the creature
of manufacturers, that he achieved any
thing like reputation or notoriety. In pub
lic life his associations have been such as
to warrant the belief that, as President,
he would -fail to meet the icqulrcmcuUt,
.1 .,.-n n lw. .sv .l.iulit ,1ml liio riilmltl-
ISirailOll WOU1U ue l,ll liuui nuun.ii.ivi;.
Morton, as the apostle of banking lings,
would serve them faithfully and well, but
his age, business interests, and risfociu
tions with the New York Republican ring
unfit him to become a pnpulur President,
nor Is it likely that he will be nominated.
Reed, the czar of Congressand thedlc tator
of unpopular policies, is doubtless an
honest public man and a good lawyer, but
his autocratic manner and Inflexible meth
ods would involve the White House and
the Capitol In an endless controversy
were he placed in control as chief execnt ive,
and consequently he should be rejected.
Of the different Presidential risibili
ties uppermost in Republican circles
Allison 1b best fitted and most deserving
that preferment. Mentally, physically,
and socially, lie is well equipped for the
position, and If nominated and elected
his administration would be a credit to
the country. No other Republican is
better informed on great national issues,
and thus far his integrity as a trusted
legislator has never been questioned.
This is saying .a good deal when it is
Need for a Patriotic Congress'.
It is still a question of how long public
sentiment will uphold our do-nothing policy
or running the country in debt. Revenue
receipts Tall far below expenditures, and
already the deficit for the year is SlH.uOO.
000. Next month heavy Interest pay
ments become due, and estimating from
the present ratio or receipts, the deficit
at the end of the fiscal year will amount
to more than $27,000,000, or about $10,
000.000 in excess or the amount predicted
by Secretary Carlisle. The receipts for
this month have only been $26,000,000,
and as there seems to be no indication of
a speedy Increase, the atmosphere around
the Treasury building could be profitably
bottled and disposed of as a sidistitute
for a bluing comisound.
At the close of business yesterday the
gold reserve stood at S12S.-i:'.7,527. but
Treasury official and Wall street are
in the agony of a mental chill for fear
this week's demand for gold to meet
trade balances and to repay foreign loans
will cause a run on the gold reserve.
The Increase of the premium on gold bars
from 1-16 to 3-1 C of I per rent was
made by the government in anticipation
of an extraordinary call fir the ydlow
metal to return thai Imported to purchase
bonds, and it will doubtless ease the
situation. But as long as party differ
ences and factioiialobstmacy are permitnd
to control financial alfairs, there wilt be
hard times and Treasury deficits.
The Commissioners, the
The Tiroes chronicles another -violation
of the law by the Commissioners this
morning, and it is doubtful if they care a
continental whether or not any or their
official acts are in accord with the statutes
provided for the government of the Dis
trict. The maintenance or the trolley
poles, the existence of the Division and
its violation of the excise Jaw, the bobtail
offense of the Anacostia Street Railway
and the ignoring or the classified service
regulations are among the most Important
or their deeds or lawlessness, and H the
trouble were taken to enumerate the others
a column or similar violations might tie
mentioned.
WIillo these orficial Infractions of the
law are more on less harmful, according
to the extent or the lawlessness, none of
them do the injury brought about by such
eHorts as the attempted forcing of an
enormous bond issue on the District, lo
nav for aliened street extensions. Then,
there is the ostensible friendship shown In
grauting favors to the Potomac Light and :
Power Company; the recommending or an '
omnibus conduit bill that will eventually I
turn the streets or Washington over to a j
conduit syndicate; the perpetuating, at j
the Commissiouerb' request, or one high 1
priced tclephouemonojKly,ajid sundryother ,
peculiar acts that stamp our triocracy as j
a sort of an official steering gear for
monopolistic influences.
The Doom of the
The sentence of the Gilmore woman to I
twenty days In Jail should serve as a
warning to those of her kind tliat Wash
ington Is no longer -a safe refuge for the
scarftt calling. While her punishment
was commuted In consideration of her
physical condition, it must be accepted
as evidence of the sincerity of those In
charge of the anti-Division movement,
and it Tvould seem like templing fate for
the rest of the demi-monde to longer xun
the risk of a severer penally. It will make
no difference how vigorously the lawless
element upholds that section, or how ob
stinately Its denizens may oppose their
prosecution. The doom ot the Division
Is sealed, and the Gilmore sentence is the
beginning of a series of arrests that will
accomplish its downfall.
The argument, that, should the scarlet
section be abolished, bawdy houso.s would
scatter throughout the city, Is ridiculous
In view of our social conditions. Should
the police authorities permit such an out
rage on decency, any two householders
could file information and have the liouses
raided. Therefore, thp public need have
no fear of that result. It is, perhaps, im
possible to destroy the milder forms of
prostitution. It exists now outside the
Division, and will doubtless continue to do
so in spite of public protest. But it is
possible to remove the disgrace, that has
made the National Capital notsOnis, and
Mr. Morrison.
considered that most of his colleagues
in Congress have, in tome way, been com
promised, but in all his long career Allison
has been looked upon as a conservative,
holiest public servant.
First but notgreatest among theprobable
democratic candidates, the pretenses of
Carlisle, Olney and Cleveland could be put
in a grab bag atthcChicagoconveiUionattd
as far as worthiness for the off ice is con
cerned it would make no difference which
came out first. Either would wreck his
party as nominee or President, and all
three are creatures of the monopolistic
element that Is now In control of public
arf.iirs. This last administration of Cleve
land will serve to Illustrate what would
happen again should the country bo un
fortunate enough to fall into the hands
of these gilded Democrats, and If the party
is looking for a political grave the nomina
tion or either would hopelessly bury it too
deep lo be resurrected.
Hill Is the champion Democratic mounte
bank or the nineteenth century. He has
poecd in every slate of Democratic faith,
and although inconsistent and full of po
litical contrariness, there is somewhere
under his hat a motto that reads"! am a
Democrat." AsPresideuttheirost becoming
mantle with which to cloak his Democratic
schemes would be a spoils system crazy
quilt made up on the chromatic plan. HIb
administration would be as replete with
gimcraek policies as his variegated fancies
could furnish, and the country would
experience a Presidential vagary such its
was never before known.
Morrison Horizontal Bill- is certainly the
best oT the Democratic wheel horses. He
is sturdy, honest, and trustworthy, although
sometimes blunt of speech and rugged of
nature. There have been more brilliant
men, but none any better deserving of con
fidence, and while the race would not be an
easy one Morrison would come more nearly
winning than any other candidate.
Stevenson is also a strong favorite among
the Democratic hordes, and while he may
not be as popular among certain classes, his
nomination would prove a wonderful
magnet to American voters. Nothing could
be said against his candidacy that -would
injure his chances for election, but between
Stevenson and Morrison the latter would
prove the most popular.
Now let the fight begin.
The outlook lor the future would be
brighter ir CongresP would increase reve
nues by temporarily advancing the tariff
schedule. Since the $30,000,000. ex
pected from the income tax, was wiped
out by the Supreme Court decision, and
because trade has not revived as was ex
pected, the Wilson law does not meet re
quirements. It is necessary, therefore, to
do .something lo relieve the stringency. The
Populist -Republican silverites of the Pen
ate have declared that the Dmgley revenue
bill shall not pass without a sliver amend
ment, and like frogs in a puddle, their
colleagues do nothing but croak, instead
or fighting night and day against such an
arbitrary determination.
Tlie government mu-t have more revenue
and protection against gold gamblers be
fore there will le a resumption of pros
perity, and it should 1 the duty of Con
gress to continue in session until measures
to bring about that relief are placed on
our statutes. Every other bill, except
those to maintain the government, should
be side-tracked to give place fdn hese
requisites, and politics, factional ideas as
to the proper money metal, should be
subordinated to the welfare of the country.
It Is. perhaps, folly to advocate this policy
In view of the approaching election, but
If a majority of Congress were patriots, the
government would lie helped out of its
present dilemma if Hie session extended
until a new President was inaugurated.
Ring and the Favorite'.
There Is .really no remedy for this con
dition of affairs under tiic system of
government by Commissioners. Thccoterie
or kindred spirits that have heretofore con
trolled the boaid if trade and manipulated
Uie many big iir'itey-inaking deals of the
District has been instrumental iu the ap
pointment of the sceral Triumviratesunder
every administration, and in return for
tlie.se favors an official sanction of its
various schemes has been the natural re
sult. The Commissioners, past and present,
would not. could not, daro not refuse to
recommend the measures urged by this in
fluential ring, and in consequence barrels
of money have been made at the expense or
the general public.
To secure relief from this burdensome,
slavish state the public must insist
on local self-government. At present vot
ers have no voice in cither selecting their
own officers or jn controlling their several
functions, and until popular suffrago has
been achieved the Commissioners, the ring,
and the official favorite will enjoy all
the good things of the District. Pride in
being looked ujun as independent citizens,
free from the domination of a carpct-bng
administration, should also influence senti
ment in favor or local government, and if
the effort were made voters could soon
emancipate themselves from their present
condition as yulitical eunuchs, and stand
forth as voters entitled to all the privileges
ot American citizenship.
Evil Is Sealed.
It will be done as surely as the heavens
send us bright sunshine.
In bringing about this result neither
The Times nor those interested in the
movemeut has any other motive than to
purify the public atmosphere. The un
fortunate creatures who are tho cause of
the abuse are only Incidents In tho reform,
and must get out of the way to avoid
punishment. Better morals, purer gover
ment, business interests, and tho good
name of our city demand that the statute
against the social evil shall be enforced,
and those who ally themselves with tho
lawless element do so at their own peril.
It seems like a travesty on Justice, when
the Commissioners become conspirators
to sucli a violation of the law, but in
protecting the existenco of tho Division
they have also outraged public decency.
In summing up the case before an
nouncing his sentence Judge Miller told
some wholesome truths concerning those
connected with the scarlet calling, and in
commenting on the testimony of some of
the women, he saUir
"Their evidence showed a condition of
depravity that is seldom exhibited In a
court of justice. If this Is the outgrowth
of a house of prostitution, this shame
ful dlsregardofthuobligationofanoath.tlien
these houses have a depressing effect In
ways affecting not merely the chastity of
the women. It shows a frightful state of
affairs, tills evidence of the influence
these houses have on the general morals
of the women."
