‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published in Washington. Just now when the reciprocity idea ocenpies the thought of the Americas, the reported ne- gotiation with Spain touching the sugar trade ef this country with Cuba is of prime import- ance. It appears that Cuban sugar finds in Europe so serious a competitor in the beet sugar produced there that the Cuban planter turns an eye of longing to the United States. Of the $51,000,000 value of imports here from “the ever faithful inle” nearly $40,000,000 im credited to the item of sugar alone. Her Principal market is in this republic, and hence any measure to promote the sugar importations into the United States from Cuba is vaturally weleomed both by the intelligent Cuban and the intelligent Spaniard. Spain Cosires to repress the desires of her colonial subjects for independence, and this is only to be done by « policy of wise providence in regard to the iuterests of the colonists. ‘The reciprocity policy of the administration, fathered and furthered by the able head of the State Department, is one whose foundation is Jaid in common sense and far-seeing patriotism. It is one which, building up the material inter- ests of the United States, promotes the materia! interests of the nationss of the hemisphere wi whom the friendly trade relations are extab- lished, Naturally, as the southern produets— sugar, hides, ete.— are larger in butk and value than those of Canada and as the scheme of polity is more practically bencticial to this re- public, our statesmen are more interested in securing reciprocity of commerce with the peo- ples of Latin America than with the more homogeneous population on our uorthern border. But if a genuine unlimited reeiprocity could be instituted between the United States and Canada there would be the greatest encourage- ment extended to the project on the part of the government and people of this country. ‘The only tronble is that the plan of Sir John Macdonald's government is, so fur as it is un- derstood, a jug-handied scheme intended to benefit the Dominion altogether. The United States do not care to negotiate on a basis of re- receiving free Canadian natural products to compete on unequal terms with the sume products of our own land while our manu- factures are excluded. Let there be reciprocity in all things, Sir Jon, or in none, or, in any event, propose to the United States something better than the alternative proposition the In- dian hunter sait the white hunter made to him when two birls were the result of a day's shoot- ing—a turkey and a buzzard: “You did not say turkey for Indian either time.” The action of Engincer Stevens of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, who, at the risk of his own life, yesterday saved his train with the lives of the numerous passengers thereon, in one of those not infrequent instances of quiet heroism to be met with in railway annals. Suddenly an obstruction to progress is pre- vented to the engineer's view. In a moment he is to decide what he shali do--wkether to desert his post and possibly preserve his own life and limbs, or to pu: individual safety out of the question and use the mess in his power to keep others under his care from going to destruction. From the record it would ap- pear that it is the habitual thought of tae governor of the locomotive in starting on his trip that he must at every personal risk look after the aifety of the people entrasted to him. Tn the accnlent of tere fourteen miles frow this city Engineer Stevens stood by his post and saved the lives of all the other persous ‘on the express, but he himself was seriously injured. The train was pulled up just at the mo- meut of reaching a huge boulder that had fallen om the track, the engine having gone over with its engineer. These acts of unselfish devotion deserve the greater consideration because in | tais world it is the fashion to make heroes of those wiw seek the public eye. (eee ‘The difficulties in the way of getting the law providing for a board of assessors for the Dis trict into working operation, through the blun- ders of the enrolling clerks who omitted the items providing for the sulavies of the asses- sors, serve to call attention to the necessity of some legislation to correct a growing evil. "The enroiling clerks necessarily make some er- rors when the business of Congress is ruabed through at breakneck speed. Whether the clerks of the late Congres were equel or infe- rior in efficiency to those of the previous Con- gresses or whether the short session does not entail upon all the clerks more work in a few days than can be performed thoroughly is the question. The terms of Congress should be of equal leusth ancl both long enough to enable the uecessary legislation to be put through in effective and workmanlike manner. oo ‘The clectrocntions in New York appointed for Monday have been stopped in order to per- ‘mit the warden of the Sing penitentiary to come down to Washington on an injunction and talk to the Sopreme Court aboat it. It will be in order before long to arrest a few electric companies for resisting officers unless they change their methods. ee ‘The action of the jury ir the case of the nine Ttalians, members of the infamous Mafia order Of asscesius, whe murdered the New Orleans chief of police, is inexplicable. It was clearly established that Chief Hennessy was killed by men belonging to this seeret society and all the facts pointed to the arraigued men as the mur- deers. But the jury outraged public opinion and apparently justice by a verdict declaring six of the prisoners not guilty and a mistrial as ‘to three others, es Hon. Jerry Simpson has just announced his discovery that Washingtonians are superior peo ple. Washingtonians discovered the Hon. Jerry to be a superior person befure he bad encirely fimiabed that specch he made at G. A RB. Hall the other night. So Mr. Simpson's compli- mentary opiuion is only in the uature of a legival reciprocity. ee ‘There is sufficient evidence at hand just at Present to warrant the conclusion that the Na- tional Guard will have to fight it ont ou the color line if it takes all summer. += ‘The vencrabie leader of the Catholic parlia- mentary party in Germany, Dr. Ludwig Wind- thorst, died today and left no man as his suc- cessor in his party who is his equa! in intlucuce and ability. ~~ If the junior Senator from New York should happen to dw while the legislature is not in seesion Governor Hill would have some ditii- S\ culty-4m appointing a suceemor ad interim. eee ‘The season of the tuothsome shad has opencd | early this yeur.
