should be just as potent as it ever was. Is
there any conflict in the minds Of those who
are responsible for the conduct Of our
police force as to whether the exhibitions
that are criticised by all decent people do
or do not tend to brutality2 Is it imagined
at police headquarters or at precinct head
quarters that those who belong to the
sporting element pay two or three dollars
each to see half a dozen or more sluggers
spar for points? Is 1t police opinion that
the men who issue from the slums to do
within the apartments Of so-called athletic
clubs what would cause their immediate
arrest in an alley do so for any other than
Knockout purposes? ''Or assume in any
degree the character Of a prize fight Is Of
the language Of the order, yet the police
who are present at these mills-there are
always three or four of them on hand
evidently see no reason why they should
interfere although the entire proceedings
are precisely similar to those common at
prize fights; essentially there Is no differ
ence whatever in the details. Washington
is respectable city. 1t has no sympathy
with anything brutal or degraded. Its
tendencies are ever toward moral and ma
terial betterment; the two varieties being
closely related. 1t wants its police force to
do the duty for which that police force is
engaged and paid.

During the past week or so there have
come into mushroom existence two local
athletic clubs that have no other excuse
will undoubtedly accrue In case the pro-
ceedings OF these organizations are not in
terfered with by the police. These clubs
have already given public exhibitions that
were just as brutal any this city has
ever known, and IT is fair to presume that
similar programs will be presented so long
as the authorities permit. For such dis
Gently in Marinfs Hall and In Georgetown
the police alone are responsible. for it is
nothing more than reasonable to expect
that so long as those who are supposed to
be conservators of law and order are care
less or wilfully blind, advantage will be
taken of such an improper condition of
affairs by those who are willing to violate
risk and sufficiency OF financial recon-
pense. 1t cannot be argued In behalf Of
the police that the department Is ignorant
OF the existence OF authority for the sup
preston of these so-called glove contests,
for recently The Star printed copy of an
order, issued some years ago by the District
Commissioners, which provides that the
major and superintendent OF Metropolitan
Police d. C. shall prevent exhibitions which
tend to brutality or assume in any degree
the character of prize fight. or where
money is wagered upon the result" There
has been no revocation of that order, so 1t

Discussing true American ideals In the
Forum, Theodore Roosevelt points out the
dangers of inconsiderate wealth. Hereto
fore it has been widespread and perhaps
popular doctrine that our institutions were
menaced by the lawless elements among
the disconnected Of our working classes and
by the ignorant poor who have always
made unwelcome appearance whenever
there was threat Of physical disturbance,
but Mr.. Roosevelt has reversed the lever
and sounded note of warning which will
surely not be unheeded. To him there Is
not in the world a more ignoble character
than the mere money-getting American,
''insensible to every duty, regardless of
every principle, bent only on amassing a
fortune, and putting his fortune only to the
basest uses-whether these uses be to
speculate in stocks and wreck railroads
himself, or to allow his son to lead life
of foolish and expensive iGleness and gross
debauchery, or to purchase some scoundrel
of high social position, foreign or native,
for his daughter" 1t is a reasonable con-
clusion that such men are equally care
less of the workingmen, whom they OPP
press, and of the state, whose existence
they tmperil." 1t is well that only few
of these enormously wealthy and extreme
ly undesirable citizens are in existence, but
1T is an indisputable fact that very large
proportion of our population sees in such
men only material for admiration and emu
lation. The mere fact that they have ac-
quired vast property rights overshadowS
and hides from the average eye the means
by which so much Of wealth was acquired.
Few sensible and upright citizens will take
issue with Mr.. RooSeyeltS statement that
the foes of order harm quite as much by
example as by what they actually accom-
plsh and when the truth Of that allega-
ton is admitted, there can be no disputing
the proposition that it applies equally to
the criminals of the wealthy classes and
the agitators who seek by more than in
temperate language to assail the law and
destroy even semblance of order; of the
two, the agitator is the less dangerous-a
rational belief, emphasized by MIR. Roose-
welt, who says:
1.-THE constituencies stock Speculator who
acquires wealth. by Swindling his fellows,
by debauchng judges and corrupting legls-
latures, and who ends his days with the
reputa ton of being among the richest men
in America, exerts over the minds OF the
rising generation an influence worse than
that of the average murderer or BANDIT,
because his career is even more dazzling
in it's success, and even more dangerous in
it's effects upon the community"
The lesson to be learned is very plain.
Instead of exalting wealth for wealth's
sake, the educative effort should be first
toward good citizenship, for when the good
citizen becomes possessed of great finan-
ciaI power he does not demand unreason-
able tribute from those through whom and
by whom much Of his greatness Is created.

The Honolulu Correspondence OF The
Star.


From the Honolulu Advertiser, Jan. 30.
The admirable letter of the Honolulu cor
RESPONDENT of the Washington Star, pub
lished in that paper of January 10, stated
very clearly the political situation here. at
the time it was written, and the possibility
of an outbreak in the near future. No
statement could have been made more op-
pcrtunely. as a prelude to the telegraphic
news of the rebellion in Honolulu, which
paper of the 10Th instant The public In
that city had been so well posted in adj
vance, that when the news carried by the
Alameda reached there by telegraph, the
exact situation here was known, and the
collapse of all the plans Of the deluded
rebels foreshadowed with remarkable ac-
curacy.

Fiat Money In China.
From the New York World

1t appears that in China the idea Of fat
money is about three thousand years old.
In this ancient empire any banker Is per-
mitted to issue his notes according to the
per capita demand of those in the neigh
borhood who are willing to accept them.
The great difference between the fiat money
Of China and that occasionally proposed
for adoption in this country is that nobody
Is obliged to accept the Chinese fiat money
unless he wants to. In this respect China
is about three thousand years ahead Of
certain parts Of the United States.

The raising of the Great Falls dam and

If the sum Of $4,000 appropriated for
charitable purposes Is not directly avaiia-
BILE for the employment of those who suffer
at this time because employment Is lacking,
IL may nevertheless do much good; for 1t

to work even should opportunity to labor
be afforded. Every one who is interested

established beyond question the desirabihty
of saving as much as possible the self
respect of those who are compelled to re-

their more fortunate fellow-beings the
charitable assistance which they need. 1T
seems, however, to have been decided that
this particular sum of 10000 is to be dis
bursed in the old-fashioned way. and as
there must necessarily be a good deal CT

money raised by the canvassing committee

leaving the direct contributions of the
people to be spent to corresponding
amount in providing the work for which
hundreds of Washingtonians are eagerly
waiting. 1t is perhaps too late, for this
season, to construct a fairly comprehensive
system of relief in which provision will ne
made for the earning of every dollar dis
tributed-that should be work for the
months that will intervene between the
present and next winter-but so far as pos
sble there should be adherence to the
only charitable practice that discourages
pauperism. 1t is not easy to preach against
promiseuous giving at time when there
is so much of suffering as now exists with
in the District of Columbia. but no one can
reasonably take exception to the statement
that many good citizen in needy circum-
stances was started on a career that ended

nevolence of philanthropists whose inten-
lions were beyond criticism. Most of the
real sufferers in Washington want remu-

Elsewhere in The Star will be found an
eloquent appeal by Frederick Douglass in
behalf of the excellent industrial school
for colored youth at Manassas, Va, which
has just suffered a terrible loss In the
burning of it's main building. This school,
which has been created and put into sue
cessful operation largely through the I'M
firing personal exertions of Miss Jane e.
Thompson. well known in this city as
teacher of the first rank. has had the earn
est Endorsement and substantial support
of philanthropists like Miss Emily How
land of New York. Rev. Edward Hale of
Boston and others of like character in
Washington and throughout the country.
1t is not doubted that this urgent appeal
to the benevolent for funds to prevent the
closing of this school, which promises such
an extended career of usefulness, will meet
with an adequate response. The Star will
very cheerfully receive and forward any
contributions to this most deserving object
