THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger thas that ofany ether paper i= the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Medium it has ne competitor. Of almost supreme interest to many thou- sands of men and women who are endeavoring ‘to caleulate how, out of narrow financial re- sources, they can pay their way to, at and from the world’s fair, is the position taken by the ¥ailroad companies. When Chicago's repre- sentatives were here, pleading with Congress for a great privilege. they were most emphatic in their announcements as to how the railroads would reduce rates should Chicago be selected fs the site for the fair. Of course, in the ab- gence of express authority, no one had any right to make such attractive promises, and it is not surprising that the “‘common-carriers” of the country have really made up their minds to squeeze the public as severely as possible. But their very eagerness may yet bring about ‘popular results. From all sections of the coun- try have come sounds indicative of dissatisfac- tion. These do notseem to have made any {impression upon the corporative deafness which affects the traffic associations, but that ‘the companies themselves have heard is quite probable. Already there is friction and in one or two regions rate-cutting threats have been exchanged, and although the associations are trying to hold themselves together some of the more impetuous members will probably smash the combination and start out to do basiness in accordance with their own ideas. People who have it in their minds to visit the exposition ‘and who need to count their dollars will do well to wait a little while. A rate war is one of the ‘easy probabilities. es Reliable information on which to base ecom- ment as to the revolt in Cuba is at present ont of reach so prophecy as to what may be prob- able is out of the question. That tho little country has been misgoverned is notorious and ‘that it will ever be otherwise than misgoverned is far from likely so long as Spain retains govermental control, With a more liberal policy Spain would never have lost possession of its magnificent territorial belongings in the west- ern hemixphere and yet the lesson bas been without effect; the nation that discovered a new world now has no control over one toot of ft outside of Puerto Rico and Cuba and in the latter its supremacy is disputed. The precise strength of the revolutionary movement is un- known. A few days ago = young man whose name is Sartorius and whose capacity for leadership is undoubtedly of = superior quality, gathered around him a tew who were no less discontented than he. As soon as the standard was raised hundreds of other patriots joined the leader and now are quent to have avoided getting drunk; that dratkannons should be vied by = meee envers penalty when the alcoholic excitement was purposely brought about in order to strengthen the determination to commit the crime; that it should be punishable with extenuation by the magistrate when it occurs in persons of weak intelligence, whose power of enduring alcoholic drinks is diminished by the inferiority of their cerebral organization. The judgo holds that drunkenness is inexcusable in persons who know that they cannot drink without danger, and that there is no admissible excuse for drunkenness unless alcoholism has produced cerebral lesions, from which result a real alien- ation of mind; and such an affection would, of course, be treated in an asylum for the insane. ready todo battle with the troops that have been dispatched to settle the trouble. Whether the impending conflict will result in revolu- tionary success or disaster the sympathy of the people of the United States will be with the evolutionists. a With that mental keenness which has always been a conspicuous feuture in its makeup the Baltimore American concludes that “there is only one sad thought concerning the world’s fair,and that is: How much better it would have been if it had been located at Washing- ton!” The truthfulness of this remark is so evident that argument is unnecessary. The world’s Columbian exposition is a national af- fair and for its success or failure the government of the United States will be held responsibie, although the elements that may bring about either resalt are controlled aimost entirely by Chicago. A national celebration should be operaed only by national officials and the en- tire show should be at the natioual cupital. ——— It is only fair to note, without any disparage- ment of Chicago and her enterprise, that the facilities for handling crowds at the world’s fair opening did not mect the exigencies of the case as the arrangements im this city for the G.ALR. encampment and the inauguration did. If ‘Washington had needed any vindication the events at Chicago would have afforded a com- plete one. Instead, however, of offering apolo- gies Washington is distinctly in a position to challenge comparison. ———— An inventive Englishman has produced a frame or case in which pictures or other objects sensitive to deteriorating atmospheric influ- ences may be easily preserved.

With the aid of this discovery it will be possi- ble for generations yet unborn to gaze upon ‘Ward McAllister as he appeared in the flesh; aud that will be a great thing for posterity. a ‘The long-time friendship which has marked the relations of Russia and the United States may easily be forgotten if the Russian govern- ment insists upon refusing to recognize pass- ports in the possession of American citizens who are Hebrews. ——_ + ee It is possible that « waiters’ strike in Chicago woud not be seriously felt iater on.

In all modern history there are few acts more cruel than this expatriative decree. To be de- nied possession of a foot of soil in the land where their ancestors once reigned supreme as kiugs and princes among men is an outrage that must some day bring disaster to those who originated the idea or made its injustice a real force. ——_ + + —__ Much admired as our white warshins have been during the past three or four weeks there is a general impression which has it that biack is a much better hue for hull paint than the white pigment which now covers the steel plates. ‘Some naval men advocate gray and green as the best tints for-fighting vessels, but the English and French after much experiment came to, the conclusion that black was preferable and it is not unlikely that ere long all of her majesty'’s ships will have masts and boate and spars as black as the hulls now are. The reasons for a decision in favor of the somber stain are pow- erful, principal among them being the invisi- bility of black when search-lights are being operated. Perhaps some of the sea or cloud tones would do as well, but all things consid- ered it seems as though the inky stain would be dest. —_++.___. It is somewhat difficult for Americans who have admired the administrative ability of President Diaz to believe that he bas started out to suppress all Mexican newspapers that are opposed to his governmental ideas, yet ap- parently reliable information from the City of Mexico is to the effect that nearly 100 journals were compelled to suspend publication last week because they gave expression to views that Diaz regarded as discordant. Only a short-sighted politician would attempt such a foolish repression, for revolution is one of the certain consequences and, when it comes, will be supported by the active sympathy of men who believe in freedom of speech and of the ress. bs OOo If the waiters who are striking will demand that they receive wages adequate for their sup- port, with the understanding that they dis- pense with tips, their cause may win a popular sympathy that has hitherto been withheld.

BUT TRULY ARTISTIC. If women’s stockings were a part of their cos- tume to be gazed at then might it be said that the careful thousht, good taste and the much money spent on them was the out- come of woran’s vanity, of hor disposition to exceed her sisters—her love for owning the beautiful because of the envy or admiration of others. But her stock- ings are not worn to be gazed at, and, therefore, the thought and care bestowed on them must be the out- come of an innate love of the beautiful. It being proved that women appreciate and cherish the beauty of the unseen, is it not fair to conclude that their love of the seen beauty of their costumes also springs from a truly artistic mind and eye and not from mere vanity. Thisisa question for abler critics than the writer to answer, so let us return to our mutton—our stockings. Demand always creates a supply. Women's demand for stockings that will retain thelr beauty of color after washing has beon supplied. ‘Their artisticeye demanded and secured the em- ploy of the world’s famous desicners. Thus are ‘Women’s stockinxs works of art in design and colors. And now women say their hose must fit like their gloves. This demand is as yet rarely supplied, mainly because merchants are not yet educated up to ‘the demand, and partly because of the enormous stock necessary. In fact, it is generally conceded that the Palais Royal's collection is the only one in Wash- ington that contains a full variety of sizes; in the new idea of “‘sizes® the Palais Koyal Hosiery Depart- ment, like its Glove Department, is unique. Mer- chants who have made less of a study of these depart- ments are apt tobe enthused, when really their stocks fare very inferior when seon from the Palais Royal's point of view. As women's hands and arms vary, 80 do their feet and legs, and it is only in a vast collec tion like at the Palais Royal, containing made-to-order hose, that styles and sizes to properly fit all can be found.
