NOY ‘THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Circulation ef any Newspaper injthe World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published ——— To Canaagutiieats. Sm” Letters relating to the editorial or business departments of the paper should be addressed to the Editor, or the Publisher, as the case may be, &nd not toan individual. The latter course fre- quently causes vexatious delays. t@” Communications cannot be returned. Where preservation is desired, writers should re- tain a copy of their manuscripts. &@ Anonymous communications are not read im this office. It is therefore useless to send them SE The real-estate purchases investigation is in @ condition of trance. So far asthe greater part of its constituent elements are concerned ithas been from the first modest. shrinking, self-depreciatory, as one who should say to the persons or things to be investigated: “I hope I don’t intrude.” At intervals of a few hours during its brief existence it has held formal self-communings, in which it has examined its own pulse with morbid interest,doubted whether life is worth living, and hesitated to draw another breath if thereby anybody should be disturbed. It has held its breath so long in its present self-communing that it has lost con- sciousness and relapsed into a state of sus- pended animation. Its revival 1s questionable. But its brie and feeble career has not been in vain, If it has failed as an investigator to re- quire, by subpeena, the attendance and evi- dence of the persons who could give direct evi- dence concerning the character of the pur- chases which it was created to investigate, it has at least permitted some witnesses to’ tell their stories. And outside of the repellant subject of District real estate purchases it has fairly revelled in ® pictur- esque and varied assortment of irrelevant facts and experiences. Its record is as checkered by diversions as the Senate debate on the tariff bill. It has learned how newspaper articles are framed, from the time when the re- pofter scents an item of news, to the approval of the editor. and the manipulation of the type- setter. It knows that the Commissioners do not consider that the publicity to be secured by the widest circulation is the object of official advertising. It has witnessed a dress “rehearsal by the Commissioners of their great act in that “ most lamentable comedy” wherein they snub Tae Srakr, all unbeknownst to the‘ latter, and bite their thumbs most savagely in the dark. It has absorbed the information furnished by numer- ous real estate men, whose recommendation as witnesses has been that they were not con- cerned in the sales investigated, and could not on that account give testimony of their own knowledge concerning the character of these transactions. It may not have investigated much, but it has had some fun in its brief career, and after life’s fitful fever it sleeps well. a ‘The quarrel between Bismarck and America naturally causes criticism of Germany's over- bearing foreign policy and her spying into our national military condition with the possibility of future hostilities in view. The Germans thus criticised are of course Bismarck’s Ger- mans and not Americans of German birth or descent. The latter constitute an intelligent, industrious, and valuable element of American population, and as Americans and citizens of the great republic they will not hesitate to resent an insult to the flag or hos- tile espionage merely because a German is the offender. It is an insult to the German-Ameri- cans to view them as more German than Amer- ican. and to construe criticism upon Bismarck’s bullying and spying as reflecting unfavorably upon them. a President Andrew D. White's recent article on “A University at Washington.” the last of the series on the subject, which the enterpris- ing and able Forum has been publishing, was reproduced in Tue Star as containing matter of the highest interest to the people of the Dis- trict. The five or six million dollars required to establish at the capital the ideal university, which Mr. White draws in outline, may not be immediately forthcoming. and reliance must be placed upon the hope that the wisdom of the suggestions of the article upon this point may in time bring forth fruit. But Mr. White’s comprehensive and admirable recital of the overwhelming ad- vantages of Washington as an educational cen- ter should be of immediate practical useful- ness to the capital. This city aspires to be the gathering place of the students of the republic in all branches of investigation. and, as Mr. White shows beyond the possibility of contra- diction, it offers notable and peculiar attrac- tions and advantages to the workers in every field of learned research. a What can be taught a horse can be taught to achild. The St. Louis teachers have trained their pupils in a fire-alarm march and re- cently they had occasion to use it in a building crowded with hundreds ofchildren. When the bells sounded the children marched out of the building like soldiers, While firemen rushed up one stairway the youngsters went down the other. A similar precaution has been taken for years in hundreds of schools in this country, but it has never before been put to such an ex- cellent test. a The failure of the Brooklyn street car strike is explained by the master workman of the Knights of Labor in that city as due to “lack of money, superfluous police clubs, and fine weather.” It is always well for both sides of a strike and for the public generally to study the elements of success or failure in such a labor protest as that just closed. The issue was prac- tically the recognition of the Knights of Labor. To enforce it the strikers spent $100,000 and the companies twice as much to maintain their re- fusal to recognize the authority of the organi- zation. Six thousand men went out and one- third of them are still without work. There seems to have been money enough spent by the strikers, if the principle at stake was just, to carry their point. The interference of the po- lice was probable beforehand. The fine weather had something to bed weather and the prostration of the entire business public are necessary to the success of a strike, there should be laws passed to protect the public convenience by defining a street-car employe’s duties and responsibilities in all sorts of weather. SS Germany expresses herself as greatly pleased with the official decapitation of Sewall. As Bismarck has suggested a friendly conference at Berlin it appears to the State department that it would not be discreet or courteous to return to Samoa an American representative who has been so offensive to Bismarck. The action might be viewed as a slap in the latter's face, and he might get angry and decline to | st. confer, even at Berlin. The German repre- sentative in Samoa, who has distinetly slapped the American republic in the face, still re- mains in office. If officials are to be sacrificed «6 peace-offerings, might it not be wise to re- quire a pairing of the rival consuls at Samoa and to compel them to step to one side to- gether, during the amicable conference in which each of the two nations. loudly professing a desire for peace, will maneuver to shift the blame for the bloodshed and disorder in Samoa from itself and upon its adversary? ro A shortening of the term rd homage the District, and other improvements to the Jury law, proposed: in the measure now pend- ing before Congress, are likely to cul wil unqeattiombiy be a t consent sting te admins of tice by rendering it easier to - ‘THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.
