4 , THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. MONDAY, APRIL THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON April 20, 1891. Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAK has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertish Medium is worth more than ull the other papers published in Washington. ee A correspondent calis attention elsewhere in the Stan to the complete self-identification of Representative Atkinson with the Pennsylvania railroad. “We went into the fight to win all we could,” says Mr. Atkinson. Theoretically of course, Mr. Atkinson is a representative of the people of Washington in the local legislature of the District, selected by the 18th district of Penn- sylvania to thatoffice under the Constitation, by virtue of his election as Representative in Con- gress, and he is in a special sense a representa- tive of the city and guardian of its welfare because he isa member of the committee to which the primary consideration of District interests is intruxted. When a member of the common councils of any other large American city identifies himself with the fortunes of a foreign corporation, seeking valuable privileges ‘at the public expense and to the public injury without adequate compensation or any com- pensation, and goes into the fight to win ell he can for himself and the corporation which he serves, the real character of his act is rocog- nized and promptly punished, at least to the ex- tent of compulsory exile. Washington recog- nizes and appreciates a breach of trust by any of its legislators, though from its peculiar position it, may be unable to punish. 3 a Not only the question of how much incre- ment is to be expected from the southern states, but also the other question of who is to lead the party in the nation may be determined at the approaching meeting of the republican league clubs at Cincinnati. The leader of the clubs will not be placed directly in a command- ing position, but he may, if he be also in con- trol of the executive committee of the party, be potential in deciding who the presidential nominee of the republicans shall be. Thove who think, however, that the management of clubs and committees is necessarily the ubso- Jute management of parties make sometimes a mistake both broad and deep. Parties are not always governed by the drift of sentiment, but it is always prudent to watch that drift very closely and not to attempt to run counter to it. ‘The league clubs are an element of importance just now in both parties. It is probable that they will in future wield a greater influence than political societies have exerted since the days of the famous “Jacobin™ elube in the day of Jefferson and bis rivals. —— + The framers of the Australian Common- wealth made faces at mother Britain's over- lordship when they called the component parts ofthe confederation under the constitution states,” rather than provinces. Our express- ion, “United States,” was first officially ap- plied as the name of a country, by itself, in 1776, but the name was employed by writers in the early part of the 17th century who applied it to the United Provinces which were some- times called “the United States.” In the pre- Revolutionary political literature of our coun- try the word “state” is used of colony, as if the idea of independence existed vaguely even be- fore its absolute necessity was realized or formulated. a What if the Fifty-first Congress did appro- priate for public purposes over one billion dollars? Criticism based merely upon the amount cf the appropriation will fall to the ground. The sum is large, but the country ean spend it and not feel it, and it is an indi- cation cf the national wealth and prosperity that this is the case. Attucks upon the appro- priations by the recent Congress tobe effec- tive, must be aimed, as in other years when the amount has been smaller, at the folly and extravagauce of particular appropriations for particular purposes. If all the expenditures by the recent Congress were wise and for the public welfare, the larger the amount thus ex- pended within the national resources the better the record of the Congress would be. = ——- The Italian incident in Galveston, Texas, marks the receding of the tide. The President of the United States was apparently assured by a great demonstration that the Italian residents were among the most loyal to this republic of all its citizens and intending citizens. The Pittsburg fakir may now consider himself kicked with the boot of Galveston’s installment of Italy. Bae Pe Philadelphia, like Washington. has been ex- perimenting with the storage battery on street | cara. Adter trials by threecompanies the state- | ment is made that the electrical ditticulties have been overcome, but the matter of cost is not yet determined satisfactorily. This is the su- preme obstacle, it appears, but like so many other obstacles it must finally be pushed aside. ————-——_____ If the colored man is disposed to think he has been badly treated in the south, let him re- serve his opinion vatil he goes to the Pennsyl- vania coke regions to replace the strikers, as it is reported he is going to do. + Delaware votes on the 19th of May whether or not a state constitutional convention shall be held.
