- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1891. MONDAY.. CROSBY §. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Clrculation of any Newspaper in the World, and as am Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. The number of new advertisements printed in last Saturday's Stan was 658—the largest num- ber that has ever appeared in a singie issue of the paper. The circulation of Saturday's Stan, as shown by the sworn statement in another columa, was 40,689. Of this total, 36,847 copies were circulated within the limits of the District of Columbia, ‘Thes@! figures need no comment. They are more suggestive than words, and tell plainer than any language could describe the esteem fn which Tux Sran is held by the people of ‘Washington. —_———_--—__— + Sir Charles Tupper and the other Canadian ministers now in the city seem very zealous in securing from this government a reciprocit; if awift trips to and from Ottawa and Washin: ton mean anything. Sir John Macdonald's ad- ministration has not heretofore exhibited any great zeal in this bebalf, and it is strongly sus- pected that the present activity is due to the undoubted feeling in Canada in favor of some sort of reciprocity. The probabilities are that if the naked issue had been presented in the late elections to the voters of the Dominion, unencambered with the false issue of loyalt the result would have Leen a decision squarely im favor of a liberal reciprocity. The vote of the liberal party, at any rate, was so unex- pectedly large as to convince the wily Sir John that something had to be done speedily. Hence the mission of Sir Charles Tupper and bis com- panions. This republic wants to eustain it and mutually beneficial trade relations with each of her reighbors on tho continent. ‘There is no doubt that if the Canadians through the proper diplomatic channel, the British minister, shali present a fair program of trade between Canada and the United States the re- public will accept the proposition. The difli- culty is im the unture of the scheme that may be insisted upon and the complicated motives —connected with local polities in the Dominion —which will actuate the commission in its tender. It is unfortunate for Canada that, owing to her peculiar status, half free and half dependent, and the fact that Newfoundland, another colony of coutrary aims and policy, is interested in the negotiations, she cannot treat directly and upon a clear-cut basis with this country. Handicapped by promises made to the different provinces of the Dominion dur- ing the recent election and met by the opposi- tion of the border-line Americans, the Cana- ian commission has no easy task before it ‘The financial condition of Italy, due in great part to her armament as a member of the triple alliance, is very nearly a bad as it can be. The failure of a number of banks and mercantile houses and the uneasy state of business in the peninsula, together with the slowness with which the government is able to contract the last loan, show tha’ she is in no condition to insist upon unreasonable demands. The mod- erate tone of the Rudini ministry, therefore, in the negotiations with this republic is nota matter of surprise. Italy is that great power ef Europe which is most uncertain of its foot- ing among the six. Others have age, diplomatic experience, military and naval organization that is never to be effected in a short time and that economic grip which is the mainstay of every important nation. In the present un- steadiness in European politics Italy well sees ‘that it behooves her to be calm and add no un- ‘Recessary complication to those in which she is already involved. There has been since the days of Cavour and the early period of Italian ‘unity something of a decline in statesmanship, but it is safe to say that the genius of a remark- able people will enable them to avoid the breakers ahead. oe ‘The congressional funeral picnic seems to be se old as the century; at any rate, whena Raede Island Senator was buried here in 1809 four gallons of cognac brandy and seven gal- ons of Madeira wine were consumed. There wasno kick against these epiritual refresh- ments. Indeed, the custom appeared to ap- prove their consumption. But the committee te audit and control the contingent expenses ‘were not by any means satisfied. Some of the refreshments were deemed extraordinary. Bib- ulousness to the value of $24 might pass, and $3 in crackersand €5 in raisins might also be allowed, but the committee with an austerity and that woald have done credit to ‘Mr. Holman if he bud been living and perhaps did meet with the approbation of Mr. Macon in the House of Representatives, ran its blue pen- cil through “11 pounds cheese at 25 cts.— 02.31.” They drew the line at mourning which exhibited itself in the shape of an excessive eonsumption of cheese. ae ‘The United States flag covers United States policy. No other flag and no other policy can co-exist within the jurisdiction of the United States. The foreign flags and foreign policies as to government that have been flouted be- fore Americans lately have no place in our system. This is a free country, but it is a country and notachaos. The sooner the fact is recognized by certain people residing in the Fepublic the better for all concerned. Ameri- ean sentiment is broad, just and tolerant; it is slow to formulate itself against even license, but when it does so formulate itself it is well for thove who disturb the public quiet here to Dewure. : —_— oo It is now suggested that the triple alliance furnishes the reason why the English and Ger- man press seem so fond of “Sunny Italy.” Germany wants to retain King Humbert aa an ally and the English se their cue in following the German lead. Diplomacy and official jour- Balism are as straight as a worm fence. + French art as expressed in pictares will not be well represented at the world’s fair in com- petition with the art of Cook connty unless the fair authorities will agree to make ‘ull and prompt redress in case of any irregularities. ‘The Frenchmen aré afraid of the moral man from Omaba with the deadly umbrella. ee aa feature in the patent centen- nial parade in this city on the 10th would be » procession of the candidates for the vacant Maryland Senatorship.
