THE EVENING STAR. | ERAT WASHINGTON TUESDAY .. CROSBY S. NOYES...... —— THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Lecal Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and ae an Advertising Medium te worth were than all the other papers published in Washington. ‘The popular branch of the District's legisia- ture never did a wiser and more creditable thing than to vote to reecommit the Atkinson bill. Elsewhere in Tae Stan are printed the names of those who in thie struggle between the people and the corporation had the courage to do what was right and just, notwithstanding the pressure brought to bear upon them to merifice the public for the private in- terest. The community owes a debt of gratitude to every one of these faithful legislators, which it will not for- get. The tight for the people was made boldly and intelligently by such speakers as Hemp- bill, Militken, Moore and Anderson, and was sustained by 91 Representatives, not including some who had spoken vigorously for the peo- ple on previous District days, like Grout, Mo- Comas, Clunic, Lind, Spinola, Stockdale, and Kerr, but who were absent yesterday. If any twoof these friends of the District had been present yesterday (there would have been 166 instead of 164 members present, the point of no quorum could not have been raised, and the motion to reconsider the re- committal would have been leid on the table. ‘Their presence would have ciinched the de- cision of the House. But even with the loop hole left for a reversal of the House's decision, the District has confidence in view of the action of yesterday, that, whatever course the rail- road controversy may hereafter take, Washing- ton’s interests will be faithfully protected by the House. + Editor Bryce of the North American Reviow is considering the propriety of suing the United States for republishing in the Congressional Record without his permission the paper by “X. M. C.” entitled “The Speaker's Error.” A funny statement creditea to Gen. Bryce is that though the Record may not be technically DBewspaper, itis really a journal without an edi- tor. Mistakes enough occur in this unique journal for it to be regarded asa “journal without an editor.” But as a matter of fact its Con- greasioual subscribers of the opposition party sre spt to think it is over-odited, If it ever comes to a bead this suit of the North Ameri- can Keview versus the United States for viola- tion of copyright will be a cause celebre. eo ee Nevada is the exception among the growing United States. It doesn’t grow, except back- wards. But it asks for indulgence until one or two more censuses have shown bow a mining camp cau be converted into an agricultural community, California's desire to gobble up the little commonwealth arouses the ire of the latter and she says she knows no way by which anybody cau divest he: of the sovereignty in- vested in her people by themselves with the approbation of the political departments of the federal government. Nevada may have been admitted in haste, but she will never be ejected as waste. The late war with all its mighty changes did not alter the relations of the States to the Union, but rather, in the opinion of the prevailing school of publicists, estab- lished the principle “once a State always a State”-—the principle, as enunciated by the Supreme Court through the Chief Justice, that this is “an indestructible Union of indestruct- ible States.” oo While the government of the United States 3s protecting the interests of its citizens in Cen- tral America the government of Great Britain is protecting the interests of its citizens in Bebring’s sea, Our ships are going uway from, thie British ships going to, the seene of great- estapprehended trouble. The presumption is of course that our government knows what it is about. The two nations will hardly fight this year, we hope not any year. The time, in fact, has passed when England and America shonld contemplate for ap instant a resort to arma. Asto John Bail’s bellicose attitude, does John think he can scare anybody by his preparations on sea and land? Brother Jousthaa was not “built that way” and never has grown a bit craven since the days of John Paul Jones, Perry, and Andrew Jackson. Our morning cotemporary is not entirely satisfied with the course things took in the House yesterday. It refers to the peopie of ‘Washington who opposed the Atkinson Dill as “kickers” and to their protests as “drivel.” It intimates that the 91 Representatives who Voted to recommit the bill are of the hayseed variety, “‘s setof men who will vote against everything connected with 9 railroad.” The People of the District, nine-tenths of whom are aspersed, and the friends of the District in Congress, both from urban aud rural districts, cau probably bear up under the sneers and epithets which rise naturally to the lips of the cruelly disappointed. oo The Cuban annexation project is revived. ‘The Cubaas, it is said. are anxious for it to be carried out “Manifest Destiny” is good American doctrine. but there is a way of rush- ing it to extremes in which there is danger, —- It Mrs. Belva Lockwood wears a senlskin sack a8 a delegate to the Peace Cougress meot- ing this week in London it may be considered 4a an open declaration of war with Eugland. oe While the poiiticians of Virginia are wrang- ling over the affairs of the state and predicting ull sorts of dire disasters, a big syudicate Lave stepped in and bought 990,000 acres of mineral land and will have it set ont thick with pro- tectionists (1. e., republicans) before anybody kuows what they are about ——— + ‘The fall of the Bastile marks the foundation of Preach republican liberty. It was therefore fittingly celebrated yesterday on its one hun- ced and first anniversary, _— The revelations of the eleventh census are inexhaustible. Anniston, Alabama, has gained 1.100 per cent, or including two large suburbs about 2,000 per cent. The mining and mauu- factaring South is moving forward ats pro- digious pace, ————— ee Little Salvador has got her back up at the talk of Gantemalan invasion, or rather she has got twenty thousand backs up and on the trontier awaitiug eventualities, It is easier for the Central Aimcricaus to raise a crop of war than of any other ficid commodity. oo The philosopher of the Baltimore Sun argues ‘that the secession of the mugwumps bas been ® loss to American politics ia this that it has taken away the conscience of one of the partion sud lowered that of the other. Either this analysis is too sweeping or the republic stands sadly ig wecd of some new politics, ee No inepection—n0 responsibility—~e frail) Stesmbent—an overload of pessongers—an over-confident captain—a small, equaily body of water—shipwreck.

A MISTAKEN IMPRESSION CONCERNING OUR ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA. ‘There seems to be an impression on the part of some that the recent decision of Judge Shipman, conecrning copyright articles in the Britanuica, would tm some way affect our edi- tion, and perhaps interfere with our work. In order to correct this impression we wish to state— First, that this decision was against Funk & Wagnall or Allen edition, and in no way in~ volves the edition we are selling: and Second, that the suit against Allen was based. ‘op the tse of the article “United Staves” in vol- ume 23 and on the cight maps scoumpanying the article. Now, a¢ you siready know, our edi- tion has not the United States maps of the En- lia edition, which are old and out of date, but all our maps relating to the United States are new and up to date. We have also to an- nounce that our edition will contain a NEW and LATER article on the United States by Ameri- can writers of the hixhest reputation aud WHICH WILL GIVE THE RESULT OF THE CENSUS NOW BEING TAKEN, It will be seen that the tntroduction of these new Maps and of the new and later information ‘with regard to the United States not only makes our edition vastly more valuable but prevents é possible ground for clatm of | wfringement, “Weassure you thet you need pay n0 attention stoppage or deisy will occur in the preparation of the work. ‘We have received mnother allowance ot fifty sete from the publishers.
