THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that ofany ether paper in the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Medium it bas me competitor. =——————— Americans who, through the newspapers, follow the proceedings of the board of arbitra- tors on the Bering sea question can hardly be otherwise than pleased with the breadth and solidity of the argument which has been and is being made in bebalf of the United States. Abandoning the minor contentions which figured so conspicuously in the earlier days of the controversy which iso soon to be at an ‘end, the representatives of honest humanity have secured most respectful hearing from the august tribunal. With that fairnessand hber- ality which has always enabled it to rise above mere partisanship, the New York Sun discusses the clever argument advanced by Counsel Car- ter and makes obeisance before the tomb of James G. Blaine by saying that “it detracts not in the slightest degree from the credit due to this distinguished advocate for originality of conception, logical audacity and skill of analysis and presentation, to say that Mr. Car- ter has followed the line of argument which Mr. Blaine recognized early in the controversy as the only plea in which there was a glimmer of hope for the American side.” The idea that it ‘would be possible to convince an international court that Bering sea was closed to all nations save ours never gained entrance into the great premier’s mind. ‘In the opinion of the Pres- ident,” wrote Mr. Blaine to the British minis- ter more than three years ago, “the Canadian ‘Vessels arrested and detained in the Bering sea were engaged in a pursuit that was in itself contra bonos mores, a pursuit which of neces- sity involves s serious and permanent injury to the rights of the government and people of the United States. To establish this ground it is not necessary to argue the question of the ex- tent and nature of the sovereignty of this gov- ernment over the waters of the Bering sea. ‘The weighty considerations growing out of the acquisition of Alaska, with all the rights on land ‘and sea inseparably connected therewith, may be safely left out of view, while the grounds are set forth on which this government rests its justification.” Of the Canadian poachers Mr. Biaine wrote on May 29, 189: “They are not only interfering with American rights, but are doing violence as well to the rights of the civilized world.” Again, after comparing the Canadian destruction of the seals to the use of dynamite among the fish colonies of the Newfoundland banks, Mr. Blaine demanded: “Does her majesty's govern- ment seriously maintain that the law of nations is powerless to prevent such violation of the common rights of man? Are the supporters of Justice in all nations to be declared incompe- tent to prevent wrongs so odious and so de- structive? The forcible resistance to which this government is constrained in the Bering sea is, in the President's judgment, demanded not only by the necessity of defending the traditional and long-established rignts of the United States, but also the rights of good gov- CROSBY 8.

But the machine forces feared that it might imperil their position, and they have succeeded too well in making it a mere tender.” To the average man up a tree those remarks look as though Mr. Smith was endeavoring to discolor the vicinage of somebodies’ optics, and as those somebodies are credited with being sound republicans there is prospect of interesting conflict within the party. Of the supreme body Mr. Smith is evidently not afraid, for he says that what the National Com- mittee is to do is not altogether clear. “It does not meet,” says he, “under the best obscure If it were in a position to act with authority it might lead in the Republican re- vival. As itis, the revival is likely to come through the force of events and the returning reason of the people without much reference to the National Committee.” By adding up these statements the unprejudiced student of political affairs will find the result to be Mr. Smith's opinion that a good deal of money has been spent in railroad fare and hotel bills that might have been put to better uses than those of journeying to, sojourning at and returning from Louisville. Are there many more Kepub- licans like unto him in this matter? ——_+ ee —___. Presbyterian ministers who preach and teach in the city of Brotherly Love devoted some time on Monday to debate on a proposition to admit newspaper reporters to the regular meetings of the Presbyterian Ministers’ Asso- ciation. There was failure to reach a conciu- sion, so warmly determined were those who opposed the innovation, but when the body meets on Monday next a decisive vote will be taken. It ought to be an affirmative vote and unanimous, True religion has no more actively consistent supporters than the daily press. Broad enough to give every form of belief fair treatment and without the least bias in its re- ported utterances the newspaper undoubtedly does missionary work impossible of accom- plishment through any other medium. There is no doubt that the appointment of the Duke of Veragua to be the Spanish am- bassador would give eminent satisfaction in this country, and there is no apparent reason why the duke should object to it. ae gig Ngee za as Mr. Coudert has not only gained a reputation for ready wit, but he has established himself in anew field. ‘The arbitration speaker bids fair to be as famous a personage as the after-dinner speaker. —++___ Governor Pennoyer cannot affect the offices of President or Secretary of State.

The fact that the New York customs house is to have an investigation makes it impossible for that institution to complain of any dis- courteous neglect. ——e+—____ The Chicago Chemical Bank and the world’s fair depositors are both conspicuously in a state of suspense. — ‘The office seekers will now have time to go np into the Washington monument and visit the ernment and of good morals the world over.” Should victory rest with this country in the wordy conflict now going on in Paris due eredit should be given the memory of him whose image is enshrined in countless loving hearts—the statesman who was too great to be President of this republic—James Gillespie Blaine. ——+-++—___ Believers in the ideal type of street car motor will be refreshed by the information that stor- age-battery cars have been placed on the Sec- ond Avenue road in New York city by the Wad- dell-Entz Electric Company. The cells em- ployed in the accumulator are a modification of the zine-cooper alkaline type, which has long been regarded as the lightest form in propor- tion to the power stored. The motors and @ynamos are of the internal-field type intro- duced by the company about two years ago. Each car is provided a battery weighing, two tons,which is expected to run the car about thirty miles before recharging becomes neces- sary. How are the Metrovolitan Company’ experiments progressing? It is a long time, a very long time, since the patient people of ‘Washington were promised a complete and per- fect storage-battery service on the F street Hine. If the system will work m New York why may it not be operated at the national capital? —_+ 2+ ___ After having spent nine months in prison Lizzie Borden, charged with the murder of her father and stepmother, has been arraigned be- fore the superior court at New Bedford, Mass. For this long delay in proceeding to trial neither the prisoner nor her counsel may be held responsible; all the blame rests upon the state whose officers have so cruelly and know- ingly violated the constitutional rightof speedy trial. Up to this time the state has not shown itself to be possessed of any trustworthy evi- dence of Lizzie Borden’s guilt, so unless there are sensational and reliable developments the inhuman delay will not profit those who by their tardiness hoped to extort confession from ‘one who, in the eye of the law, is innocent. ——__~e+___ Folks who would not mind going to war pro- vided there was but little possibility of their being hurt are inclined to rejoice and be ex- ceeding glad because two or three European inventors have succeeded in producing va- rieties of cloth that defy bullet-perforation at a hundred yards. The existence of such fabrics will not be denied, but men who are on terms of intimacy with modern small arms will not be in a hurry to order spring suits of the strange tex- tile.
