To The EDITOR OF TIE suN-Sir: Since the
recent raids on immoral houses in the ten
derloin" district the hitherto respectable
block In which have lived for many years
has been invaded by a class OF women have
never before met there. Ihave been accosted
boldly and persistently several times near my
own doorstep. and my experience 10 the same
as OF other men. some OF these cases have
been followed up. and It has been found that
the desperation OF some of the wretched
women has been due to their destltution.
which efforts have been made to relieve.
IL there was a wei. defned district here In
which smallpox was largely prevalent. what
an outrage 1t would bs to make raids there
and scatter the sick with that disease through
out tho city 80 as to spread the contagon as
widely as possible. But we can guard our.
selves against smallpox under the worst con-
ditions while the social evil Is more insidious
ana exigent and the effect Of DR.. Parkhursts
work has been to extend without restriction
what before was to some extent restricted. as
II should be.
A wise course to pursue now. under the cir
cumstanees, would be 10 arrange for a new
GORDON snniialre. and. when We have again To-
Called the evil, take measures for Its regua-
tion by medical officials. The next Legisla-
ture should enact the necessary laws for this
object. a. IL

Has the President No Supporters in
Congress-

There is group OF Democrats In the SEN
ete, and another group in the House Of Rep
resentatives, who have come to be known
{ than complimentary. but It describes the at
titude OF these Senators and Representa-
tives toward the Administration.
: The present efforts OF Mr.. CLEvEIASD's
echoes in Congress are directed entirely to
the suppression Of debate upon bis Ha-
waiian policy. There is concerted effort
on their part to prevent anything like full
and impartial discussion OF the subject. In
whatever form the subject comes up. their
tactics nre the same.
The cuckoos In Congress are reinforced by
those Mugwump and Democratic. or semi
Democratic. newspapers which are bound to
and good all that Mr.. CLEVELAND does.
whatever he may do. These journals affect
TO regard the Hawaiian business as an
incident that Is closed. The President has
uttered tho last word; any further talk Is
entirely supernuous.
Everything indicates that IL would be ex-
ceedlngly agreeable to Mr. CLEVELAND II
Congress would drop Hawaii and let the
matter stand where his message left 1t.
But IL right. justice. and the higher law
required Mr.. CLEVELAND. upon his own re-
sponsibillty. 10 attempt the destruction OF
the Provisional Government in Hawaii, and
the restoration Of monarchy by means of
secret intrigue. why do not the same con-
alterations OF moral right and Justice to
LILIUoKALANI. require Congress. using It's
broader authority, and. II necessary. its
war-making power. to take up and carry
out openly the secret undertaking In which
Gr. CLEVELAND has failed
Why is it that no one Of the cuckoos In
Congress has offered in either House a res
olution declaring that LILIUoKALANI is
rightfully the Queen OF Hawaii; that she
was deposed solely through the unwar-
rnnted interference OF u representative OF
the United States Government. using inn
properly tho name and naval and military
force OF this country to that end: and that
Il is therefore the duty OF the American
Congress to procure her reinstatement
upon the throne. even II that can be accom-
plished only by declaring war upon the
;usurplng Provisional Government?
Such a resolution would be welcome to
the friends Of Hawaii. and 1t ought to be
welcome to tho friends OF Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Why lie It not introduccd2 Why is it that
Instead OF responding manfully TO the trum-
pot tones OF Mr.. CLEvELAHD's royaiist and
fantastic proclamation. tho so-called Ad-
mlnistration Senators and Representatives
content themselves with ingenious but in
effective attempts to put the whole ques-
tioE 10 sleep?
No Democrat In Congress has yet raised
his voice In favor OF the further pursuance
Of a policy. which II morally right in tho
case Of tho Administration. has equally
Imperative moral claims upon the Federal
Legislature. and with no constitutional
obstacle In tho way.
Has the CLEVELAND policy OF infamy not
Q single supporter in tho Fifty-thlrd Con-
gress even among the cuckoos?

The Problem Of the Unemployed.

A movement has been started among
men OF wealth to raise large fund by sub
scriptions. to be expended In providing en-
ployment for the unemployed In this city.
Their purpose is TO save honest and indus
trious people out OF work from the deplo-
rable and degrading necessity Of accepting
aims. by giving them something to do for
which they will be paid In wages.
The Health Department. after q partial
canvass of the tenement houses. estimates
that the number OF tho unemployed in New
York already exceeds GO0OO. and that this
great number will be increased largely
after the temporary activity OF the holiday
season Is over. The superintendent Of
the Charity Organization Society puts
the number now out OF employment
at not less than 100000. and this
larger estimate is confirmed by the
opinions and information OF the officers in
charge OF the employment bureaus OF tho
various labor organizations. Both OF these
estimates include only those who are will
ing to work. and who work regularly when
ever they can get employment. They take
no account OF the dissOlute oilers who are
always at hand 10 prey on charity. These
unemployed are men and women who do
not want charity, but want work by which
to earn their own bread.
The Information obtained by both the
Health Department and the labor OrRaniza-
tions shows that these unemployed include
workers In nearly every trade and every In
dustry. skilled and unskilled. About one
third OF them are common laborers, The
remainder is made up Of men and women
discharged from factories. lines OF transpor-
tation. domestic service. and nearly every
skilled employment. II Is remarkable that
this enforced idleness is especially large
among tho bakers. the cooks. and the
walters. From one-quarter IN One-half OF
these are now out of work. according 10 the
reports OF their unions. Ii is also noticeable
that among the unemployed are many bar
tenders, both the liquor business aud the
patronage Of restaurants having fallen OF
largely. Tho stasnation In building and
tho economy prevailing in every dircc-
tion have wholly deprived a vast number Of
the brlcklayers, plumbers. carpenters. and
painters of their usual work. or compelled
them To be idle One-quarteT or one-half Of
their time. The same is the case with the
machiulsts. and with the tailOTs. though this
is usually the busiest season for their trade
The cablnetmREers also are suffering. per-
haps moro especially the men who work
on pianos. So is It with the cigaTuakeTs,
and In every industry which supplies the de-
mands OF luxurious tastes. The number Of
merchants clerks out Of employment Is.
very naturally. much greater proportion
Stely than It has been for many years.

A-Why. mean that there are two essen

A.-lee, sir. am sure. Let m Q tell you one
thing: Thomas Z. Plat Is to-day sending for
prominent Republicans and telling them that
he wants them to become the leader In this

does not vote or pay taxes In this city, and
who holds no official position under the Re-

Won DER GOLTZ PASUA.

fused. Then Abdul Hamid telegraphed
to the German emperor, begging him
to order the German to remain in Tur-
key. The emperor replied that he was
unable to comply with this request,
but that, to please the sultan, although
it cost him much to dispense at the
present juncture with SO useful an Off
Ger as Gen. Won der Goltz, he would
extend the generals leave of absence
for three years. The sultan read this
as an order to the general to remain
for three years longer in his service,
and issued an trade straight off for a
new contract for three years to be
drawn up. But when the general was
asked to sign it he refused, reitera ting
his original stipulations and declaring
that he would not remain in Turkey
another week unless they were accept
ed. AS to a contract, he would: only
sign one for six months, renewa BILE
from half-year to half-year if the con-
ditions he insisted upon were main
tanned in good faith.
This answer put the commander of
the faithful out of temper and he sent
chamberlain to the German charge
d'atfaires to request him to prevent
Won der Goltz Pasha from leaving the
country. The charge 'affaires replied
that all he could do was to withhold
the generals passport; the general,
however, denies his right to do SO.
So matters stand. 1t may be use
fully remarked here, says the Pail
Mall Budget, that it is erroneous to
suppose that the sultan is desirous of
having an efficient and well-organized
army. He likes to have strong gar
rison for his personal defense in the
capital, and this he keeps sweet by
regular pay, gratuities and various
methods of pampering. But he mas as
much horror of strong army as he
has of a strong navy: either the one or
the other might revolt at any time.
His majesty is much more afraid of his
own army. which might kill him, than
of an invading army, at whose hands
he would not be at all likely TO meet
his death. AS to an army for the pur-
pose of really resisting invasion. the
idea is absurd; such an army only ir-
rltates the invader and makes him exi-
gent and relentless, rendering the
terms OF peace more onerous.
