THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY -Janaary 8, 1889. CROSEY Ss, NOYES. Eattor. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers im Washington. Inventor Keeley will need to bow before the superior ingenuity of his rivals in the profita- dle handling of secret processes, the Friends. ‘The former has been greatly annoyed by in- quisitive stockholders, who have veen officious and meddlesome in the attempt to discover what they have bought. He has even suffered the indignity of being locked up in jail as a form of pressure tending to cause a disclosure of his secret. The cautious Friends guarded against similar difficulties by limiting their obligations in a writ- ten contract, by which they promise in vague terms to refine sugar by a secret process, |* the contract to be void if any attempt is made to discover the secret. There is no agreement to refine raw sugar, and, whatever the contract, it is now void under its terms through the action of the stockholders in breaking into the secret rooms at the factory. The repre- sentatives of the electric sugar-refining com- pany who entered into such a contract with the alleged inventors were evidently either secomplices in an intended fraud or else were business men of snch guileless, childlike and unsuspecting confidence as even inventor Keeley never met. The Friend arrangement, with its agreement to receive large sums of money for doing little or nothing secretly, the money to be forfeited if the men who furnished it should attempt to discover how it was spent, will forever be the envy and despair of all secret-process inventors. pester ena a So far as filibustering on the first and third Mondays of the month by the reading of bogus bills is concerned, the democratic caucus is willing to promise not to do so any more, but it does not want the rales changed. If party caucuses binding all the members of both par- ties not to filibuster on the days specified and im the manner specified could be obtained, a slight advance would be made by the House in the direction of that condition in which it can perform the ordinary functions of a legislative body. But the agreement not to filibuster, to be of any value, would need to be practically unanimous. Sees The burden of sharing in partnership with the wealthy London Times the expense of an investigation into the history of all agrarian outrages in Ireland is proving rather heavy for Parnell. His mother gives a timely hint to possible American subscribers to the relief fund by deeding her homestead to the Irish statesman. The policy of the conservatives in this investigation is apparently to protract it by occupying the attention of the judges with insignificant and irrelevant matters until the expenses of the trial exhaust the resources of the accused Irish members, and they are left without the funds to make full defense when the real issues are raised. The policy of wait- ing, which looks for victory when Parnell is impoverished and Gladstone dies, is a glorious one. —— The Panama canal resolution passed the Sen- ate yesterday with slight opposition. There is no question of stopping work on the Panama canal involved. Uuless it becomes clear that natural difticulties make the work hopeless, the millions already spent will not be permitted to be utterly lost. Private capital, furnished by the citizens of France, or by them in con- junction with English and American capitalists will complete the canal, if its construction is feasible, and if with the assistance of the labor and improvements represented by the immense sum already expended by the bankrapt com- pany, the canal can be finished with the slight- est show of profit to the new investors. oo St. Jackson, New Orleans, the cotton bales and the whites of British eyes are themes to- day and to-night for eloquence, applause and convivial toasts to be drunk plentifully, often and as strong as possible in honor of Old Hick- ory who himself did things that way. What the United States would be now but for the ¥ictory won behind the cotton bales nearly three-quarters of a century ago is an interest- ing field of speculation for historians, The geography of the south and west might have been materially changed. For it must be re- membered that peace was sought eagerly by the feeble young country and the close of the War was by no means as decisive as Yorktown or Appomattox, while to our statesmen in those days the great west was not regarded as a pos- sible empire rivaling in wealth, extent, popu- lation, intelligence and enterprise any nation onearth. For the sake of preserving what they then were the eighteen young states might have been quite content to part with what they thought was only wilderness and desert. Sh em cae pendence ‘The old and venerated marvels are all pass- ing away. Even the famous Horseshoe Falls, at Niagara, have gone. By the fall of a great mass of rock the other night, a sharp triangle was made where before was the beautiful ma- Jestic curve of the horseshoe. The calamity brings @ flood of anxious inquiries. Shall the part of the Falls now be called the Triangle? Where, now, shall loving brides and bride- grooms go for luck on their wedding journeys? Is it possible that in time the whole Falls may go? Geologists hate intimated as much, from the possibility of their being a soft stratam of rock below the upper bed of the river, which Will sooner or later cramble and let the harder rock above break off, ro Toman engaged between handshakes in writing his inaugural address there would seem | to be quite enough food for reflection just now | in the various diplomatic dilemmas fronting the next administration. Beginning with our nearest neighbors, there is a row with Canada over the fisheries, which cannot be settled in a! twinkling. Over seas there is trouble three times over, England has not forgotten Lord Sackville’s conge and still fails to send a min- ister to this government. France is excited | over the attitade of the United States on the Panama Canal question, while Germany may any day get us into difficulties in Samoa.
