THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTOD THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth ‘mere than all the otber papers publisbed in Washington. — SS Few Americans have achieved as much in 80 many fields as had George Bancroft at the time of bis death. No other modern historian ex- cept Ranke had exerted vast natural abilities and scholastic attainments over so wide a range of years and subjects and with such general ac- ceptability. And the iliustrious German him- self had not made such an impress on the prac- tical affairs of his country and the world as had Mr. Bancroft. The latter's whole career was a fine example of the blending of the useful and the beautiful. To a private life of singular dignity and blamelessness combined with amiability there was added a public character of activity, achievement, honor and probity. As an historian Bancroft ranks first among American writers by reason of the extent and importance of the field he covers, his marvel- ous industry, clearness of insight, honesty of purpose, freedom from local prejudice, catho- Kieity of judgment, loftiness of aim and abso- Inte integrity in the presentation of views as well as of facts. Possibly too eloquent for the eritical school now holding the public attention, he was s noble successor of Hame, Robert- son and the older writers in English who have employed the flowers of fancy to garnish the storehouse of fact. Of his official life the best monuments are the Naval Academy at Annapolis, foundeg at his suggestion as President Polk's Secretary of the Navy, and the treaty with Germany, by which the claim of naturalized citizens to equal Protection with natives from the laws of the country was finally established. Long a resi- dent of this city, both during his term a a.cab- inet officer and at a later period, when he pre- ferred to spend the last years of his life among the national scenes and treasures dear to the heart of a national historian. his form was familiar on our streets, his elegant but simple hospitality was extended as far as practicable and he lent encouragement to all public and social measures for the advancement of the capital of which he was sincerely proud to the last moment of life. The venerable face and figure, seen on the streets only three days be- fore the end, will be missed, but the fame of George Bancroft is secure #0 long as the story of American liberty remains green in the mem- ory of Americans. — Gov. Hill will be Senator Hill and take his chances of a side-tracking of his "92 presidential boom. There has been no undue haste in reaching this decision, and it has been pre- ceded by a most «leliberate and careful weigh- ing of the considerations for and against it. ‘On the one band the fact presents itself that the Senate is proverbially a poor stepping stone to the presidency, that the Congress of the im- mediate future with its strony alliance repre- sentation will be fuli of especially dangerous pitfalls for the presidential camlidate, and that the election of Hill to the Senate has been sup- ported by his enemies avowedly for the purpose of getting him out of Cleveland's way in On the other hand it has become evi- dent that an attempt to secure a third term of the governorship would seriously injure Hill's popularity and political strength even if it were successful, and since without the sena- torship or governorship his presidential cam- paign must be conducted from private life, since the senatorship is in iteelf a highly honor- able and influential office, since it will give him the opportunity to make national political alliances for “92 of, failing in that year, leave him in advantageous position to try again in *96, he has concluded to take the bird in hand, reserving all rights, however, to gun in "2 and °96 for the birds in the bush. Mr. ilill's shrewdness and political sgacity have brought him to what seems now on the whole the wisest decision for his interests. The spectacle of Senator Hill dodging among the presidential pitfalis laid for him at the Capitol in Washing- ton will be an interesting and entertaining spectacle, especially as Mr. Hill has had con- siderable experience and has xequired con- siderable reputation as an artful dodger in poli- ties. He will have cut quite a figure in our political history even if he never gets to be President. ——_—_——e-2—____ ‘The bill introduced in the House to increase the numbers and promote the efficiency of the Marine Band deserves the most favorable con- sideration of Congress. This is the only real governmental band that we have and it should be placed on an equality with the best bands of other countries At present the pay of the members is inadequate to the value of their services, greatly less than they can make in civil life and insuficient to retain the best musicians. Mr. Sousa, the present leader, has done much to elevate the standard of hie force, but he is hampered by the small wages that he can offer and by an inability to increase -the number. The duties cf the band are by no means slight, as they are obliged not only to be present at the navy yard with the corps to which they are attached but also to attend all presidential re- ceptions and every ceremony, official or diplo- matic, to which they may be ordered. It is peculiarly appropriate that the increase asked for shouki be made now, for at the opening of the World's Fair this band will represent the United States in the musical program. Foreign governments will also be represented by their best military bands and it would bea shock to our national pride if our own band should be surpassed by any of the visiting organizations. The citizens of Washington are interested in the proposed legislation because the Marine Band, by its location and the enjoyment it has furnished, has become a local as well as national institation in which the capital city takes both “ogg al The political condition of the country is not to be inferred from a few isolated facts, but the coneurrence this winter of deadlocks in various state legislatures with contests over governors’ elections signifies a degree of superheated politics of a certain kind that does not argue well for the publie quiet. The love of office is at the bottom of the excitement. The ambition toserve one’s state or country may be over- strained. Nebraska, with her three claimants for the governorship and one of them nervously prostrated and reported to be insane from after- election controversy and excitement, furnishes a warning example. ——_—_++e—__. M. Monehicourt, the liquidator of the Panama Canal Company. states in an interview in Paris that he is greatly disappointed in not Deing able to secure the assistance of the United States in straightening out the affairs of that company and completing the canal. It ies pity that M. Monchicourt is disappointed, but the people of the United States have at least all they can attend to in the Nicaragua project. If Gen. Miles will bring some of those gans ust with him which the Indians have surren- dered he may be able to dispose of them advan- tageously to ethnoiogic museums as specimens of aboriginal antiquities ee ‘The question of questions after tomorrow in the Senate will be, Does closure close? Many a Senator wishes he could answer that question satisfactorily in advance. : ————_seo____ Advices from Indiana indicate that the Tall Syeamore of the Wabash will probably con- tinge to grow in the same senatorial soil which has nurtured it for several years past. + Alaw to prevent undesirable immigration ‘must shat the Canadian door to such objection- able comers as weil as the sea-port entrances. ee Algiers and Mexico need moore ane ae earthquakes.
