& THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO FRIDAY -- January 3, 1590. ©Rosuy S. NOLES................. Editor, EVENING STAK bas fs Cirealation of any 5 eee and as an Advertising Mediam wert more than all the other papers published in Washington. — — = New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. We make states faster than we did in the be- ginning, for we make progress faster. Five Propositions for creatiag self-governing com- munities are now before Congress, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona aud New Mexico are anxious to join the sisterhood of the Union, and some people inthe Indian Territory have under- tuk state movement and even introduced a bull providing for a new state to be formed out Of the easteru half of that territory. When- ever there are population and resources suffi- tient in any territory, and the people are ready fo enter the Union, their request for admission Ought not to be denied unless some unitness, moral or otherwise, to become American states tan be justiy assigned. But the new states ought to be required to select appropriate bames, racy of the soil, and not mere repeti- tious of other names that figure on the national map. Why, for instance, do the people of the Proposed commonwealth composed* of the civilized Creeks, Cherokees, &c., desire to have their state called Columbia? We have a Dis- trict of Columbia, a state capital named Co- fumbia, a number of Columbia rivers,and in Bouth America there is 4 country by the name of the United States of Columbia. If those People are prepared for citizenship—if they are to be admitted intoa Union already bur- dened with double nomenclature—let them select some beautiful Indian name common to ail those tribes, if there be any, or, at any rate, geome designation which shull add something fresh and distinctive to the national map when the new state firstappears upon it. No more duplications should be allowed. Washington, the Dakotas, the Carolinas, the Virginias— barely these wil! answer as samples of the curi- us artof how notto name it, As to New Mexico, if Coronado, after the Spanish discov- erer and conquistador, will not suit her fastidi- us people, then let them call it after the great queen under whose patronage America was dis- covered. Why should there be auy Mexico on the map of the United States? oe The highest mountain in Africa is Kilima- Njaro and it isas high asthe temperature of that land of eternal summer. In all the ages past no man’s foot has trod its summit, but now a German doctor—Hans Meyer—has scaled it, and it is more difficn!t to scale a mountain in Africa than it is to scaie a wage schedule during a strike. In other countries where Mountains grow to enormous size, the people who live among them are inured to the climate 80 to speak and it is no unusual task to secure hardy guides who delight in the suow and ice Which lie perpetually upon their summits, But it is not that way in Africa. There the people are bred in sunshine, and, elad in the balmy breezes of the south, with no covering except the blue canopy of the Beavens, they hve always in the afternoon, as the poet says. It was among such people Dr. Meyer was compelled to look for help in his ascent of Kilima-Njaro. Imagine if yon canan ebon child from the palm'tree shade, clothed in Perspiration setting forth in the morning, with an alpine climber to scale this mountain 19,680 feet high, Think of him at sunset In the snow and ice, a living silhouette tpon the glistening surface of a glacier! Yet Dr. Meyer was undismayed. He had come to climb Kilima-Njaro, and he did it. But he did it alone. All night he spent upon the sum- mit iu the midst of those Afric snows aud that tropical ice, and the next day he returned to the plain, picking upon his way back a long line of hotteututs to be thawed out in the spring. If it takes three flags for the United States of Brazil in six weeks, bow many standards will be set up if the republic lasts as long as our United States? — $< 2 _ Is it the Chinese rain god, Jupiter Pluvius of the Romans, or the weather bureau tuat is re- sponsible for so much "89 in our "90? ———— A great republican people equal to buying up the cream of foreign art and larding lean Europe with our superfiaous fat ought surely to be able to build a merchant marine. ————— Mild as the American grip is it bas driven two or three persons insane already, and sev- eral others have takeu pneumonia and died, Bull the disease is not malignant, and a httle prudence is all that is necessary to avoid or Overcome it, —_ + - oe Forty-odd years ago George H. Loker was read in many libraries and households, abroad aswellasat home. The number of bis ad- mirers has increased as his remarkable dra- ‘matic powers developed. ‘The author of “Francesca da Rimini” at the time of his death ‘was perheps the foremost American dramatist, He bas written much else than dramatic poetry of ancnduring value. As one of the fouuders of the Union Club andas American minister to ‘Turkey he will be remembered for his active and intelligent interest in politics. Since Lenjamin Franklin Philadelphia has bad few Lterary men who were his equals, — The hint from the State department that it will recommend that consular positions be turned over to the civil service commission in consequence of the extraordinary pressure made upon it by office seekers is sigaificant ‘The place buater on political grounds is not as likely to be as competent tor holding offices of trust and emolument. either at home or abroad, as the applicant who stands on his merits and has submitted bis claims to preferment to a close inspection by disinterested and capable persons, A special examination, perhaps a epecial course of training, would be found Becessary for consular positions. —$— + La Grippe us the Imperial Seizer of modern times. — Dispatches frum Columbus, Ohio, report that Col. Calvin S. Brice has captured that town. Competing senatorial candidates are quarantined. Prince Murat, it is suid, is willing to become the husband of Miss Caldwell and accept any amount of pin money she may sce fit to give him, The prince must be very much in love ft very much in debt, oe ee No subject demands more earnest considera- ‘tio from state executives in their usual or ex- traordinary communications with the state leg- islatures than that of legislation concerning electric wires. 1t is therefore pleasinz to note that the new governor of Massachusetts recoim- mends in his first annuus! message provision for safeguards from electricity, He attributes the recent great fires at Lynn and Boston to that cause aud says that they forcibly suggest the importance of considering whether, by the Fevision of the building laws and measures for their better enforcement or by other pertinent legislation, more effective safeguards cannot be provided which wili diminish the danger in the future. Ho romiads the legislatare that, while electricity has been made so largely subservient to the uses and convenience of civ flization, it is adding to the insecurity of life and property. He therefore holds the neces- sity to be urgent for the enactment of laws of Supervision sul regulation of electric wires and other measures to lessen the perils attend- ant upon the use of electricity without imped- ing that use in any way. — It is @ question in New York whether the state is larg: enough for Ballot Reform and Governor Hil. — — ‘The owners of ice houses in Maine are thi-.k- et ee Se een to ‘The anior oticers of the naval service are actively engaged in their work of relie/ for the Easigua.
