THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three ‘imesiarger than that efany other paper in tke efty. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertishug Mediumit has ne competiter. For some time past there has been evi- fence that the great migrative wave on the crest of which so many eastern people jit ‘an absence of twenty-four year old Maryland hath charms and ad- tages superior to the west, where c.! ters and furious cyclones ride rough- ‘over the prairies and where the great- extremes of heat and cold are most seriously felt." There is why the man who would do well in Missouri or Nebraska or should not do even better in Mary- land or Virginia. In this climate a greater Giversity of crops is possible, and it is in this diversity that the sensible farmer finds safety. A large number of those who are suitably located and who have hereto- fore bestowed most of their time and tot! upon agriculture are’ turning earnest at- tention to oyster, culture and seem to be achieving, in some cases, remarkable suc- cess. All the elements in this region favor the producer, and the thoughtful man will find it difficult to understand why so many who were comfortably situated but did not seem to know it allowed themselves to be Tured to sections of the country very much infertor to those from whence they depart ed. Quite a considerable proportion of the sons of New England and New York and Pennsylvania are also finding their way homeward, properly convinced that those who have the ability to achieve agricul tural success will find as good opportun ity on the old farms as was ever to be had on the larger but less easily cultivate: ‘western homesteads. ——__ +2 —___ Despite the opinion of Edison—who seems convinced that the application of electricity hhas almost reached its limit—there are in- dications that the subtle fluid will come to be of practical use in ways as yet un- @reamed of. Recent developments, to which the public generally seems to pay but little attention, support very strongly the view that wonders are not likely soon to cease. At the congress of electricians recently in session in Chicago, Prof. W. H. Preece, who has charge of the English govern- mental telegraph and electrical system, declared in unqualified terms his belief that electrical communication without the ad of wires would soon be common. The state- ment fs less surprising than most people ‘would imagine, for in this country there have been many successful experiments im which wonderful inductive power was made apparent—notably in the feat of tele- graphing to and from rapidly moving trains —but so far the art of signalling through ‘space by means of electro-magnetic vibra- tions (of which Prof. Preece talked) has not been successfully accomplished on this side of the Atlantic. Hardly less notable than Prof. Preece’s were those of Prof. Sylvanus hits re little while conversation will be as easily conducted between Washington and London as it now is between Washington and Chi- ago. The professor's conclusions seem to Ihave been much more than merely opinion- ative; he Gemonstrated the feasibility of his proposition to the satisfaction of a criti- cal electrically-educated audience. ‘Simultaneously with these important an- nouncemenits comes evidence that there has ‘been invented a dynamo which will bring about @ considerable reduction in the cost of electric lighting, and from three or four scientists of world-wide repute we receive confident assurances that within the next @ecade a safe and swift aerial motor will be in successful operation. Already has the trolley street car motor—once deemed won- Gerful—been eclipsed by more modern speci- mens of electrical engineering that are as far in advance of their ancient progenitor as the locomotive of today is superior to George Stephenson's “Rocket.” In view of these facts it may seem to some people though Solomon was a trifle premature @eclared that there was nothing the sun. —_+++___ ts in extracting facts of in- it masses of figures cannot census statistics that deal in Colorado.

From the recently-issued bulle- RopERE*EE Gy ygte a the state was growing very rapidly and it ye the populative Lincoln lovingly common peopie.” For some movement has been afoot to our parks the few seats that scattered at wearisome distances throughout their green length and breadth, and it is against this arbitrary and ex- tremely unfair action that our corespondent makes emphatic protest. Two arguments Jhave been made by those who seek to iEF it offer opposition to the reinstatement, or, Detter still, the multiplication of seating accommodations. Supersensitive residents in the near vicin- ity of our public parks have objected to the congregating therein of folks with whom they had no association—tired workingmen, ‘weary women and prattling children, who laughed when there was anything to laugh at and talked occasionally in tones that ‘were a trifle louder thun those permitted by polite dynamics; people who somehow or other were possessed of the fdea that the parks were places set apart for the conser- vation of public health, and who availed themselves freely of what should be a val- uable privilege. Moved by the appeals of those who see in the parks nothing more than destrable additions to their real es- tate, the authorities have in some Instances taken away a!l the seats, and with the de- parture of these conveniences the crowds also departed, seeking elsewhere, often at great inconvenieyce and frequently without avail, a spot where leafy shale and pure air should have an opportunity to counter- act the heat and burden of the day. The removal of seats continues, and it 1s fair to presume that unless something is dot in behalf of the muttitude the parks of which Washington its so proud wil! deteriorate fmto the merely decorative, thereby losing almost all of a practical value, which can- mot easily be estimated. It ts held that when the people had free use of the few seats nightly disorder mi but such an argument must presence of a sufficient and | tering the dramatic classics without bay- police force; Washington is ot a city ot ‘There the poorest reasonably well kept grass without molesta- tion and if he or she does not want to i make a couch of the earth there are seats in plenty. The great parks of London are for the people and the people are encour- aged to use them because in their use there fs great beneft to the public health. In some of them great public meetings are held and at all times it is the endeavor of the authorities to gratify the innocent de- sires of those whose circumstances compel them to remain within the city during the summer season. Stop taking the seats out of the parks! Give us more seats. Let the people walk all over the grass if they want to. And if any foolish or vicious ones should develop destructive tendencies have policemen enough in the neighborhood to protect that which should be common prop- erty. —__++-+__—_ ‘The New York Times thinks it is about time for business men of average sense to discover that the best use they can make of such money as comes to their hands is to employ it in the ordinary course of busi- ness, beginning by depositing what is not required for immediate needs in their banks. ‘There is no means of making an accurate estimate of how far the contrary practice has gone, but everybody knows that it has prevailed to an embarrassing extent. At first there was more or less excuse for it in the fact that men generally were acting from @ rather vague impulse than from reasonable calculation of the results. And there was also much more rational occa- sion for doubt as to the action of Con- gress and as to the scope and intensity of the depression that had set in. But now it 1s clear that Congress feels the force of public opinion, and that the purchase clauses of the Sherman act are to be re- pealed. The chief cause for lack of con- fidence is in the way of sure removal. It is no longer a question of providing against possible difficulties in the future. It is purely a question of how to hasten a re- turn to normal conditions which is bound to come. ———___ ++ =___ From a number of business men and statesmen come remarks as to the financial situation which should cheer the hearts of many now desponding mortals. Slowly but certainly the strain upon the money market is letting up and with favorable action by Congress on the silver purchase act of 1890 the coming of good times and easy money ig not likely long to be delayed. “In the great manufacturing centers there is much more activity today than there was a week ago and it ts quite possible that the major- ity of those concerns that were compelled to shut down becauge money was being hoarded will again be producers of goods and distributors of currency. The outlook has improved wonderfully during the past two or three days, and there is every rea- son for believing that the {improvement will continue. This country ts too great and has too many varieties of Industry to be paralyzed even by such a distressing combination of circumstances as brought about the stringency which wrecked so many fortunes and for a while retarded prosperity. nd Towa democrats have for the third time nominated Horace Boles az their candidate for governor, and now that che nomination has been made it is ‘nteresting to recall the fact that but a little while 1g Gov. Boies in a public letter stated chat ae was conscien- tlously opposed to third ecms in an office so important as that of governor of a great state. In that communication, which was sent to the chairman of the state demo- cratic committee, he said that his Views as to a third term were undoubtedly in sub- stantial accord with those of the :asses of owa’s voters, and declared that to ignore precedents and violate the almost universal sentiment would, in his ;udgment, be eeri- ously detrimental to the best interests of the democratic party. He, therefore, de- clined to even tacitly consent to che further use of his name in connectiyn with the nom- ination. How does he feel about it sow that he has been nominated? ++ 2 - Every arrangement for the Centennial ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol seems to be progressing sat- isfactorily so far as arrangements can pro- gress with an insufficiency of cash. Just now the executive committee is being de- layed considerably in the important work | of contract making because subscriptions | are a trifle shy. As Chairman Edson of the| finance committee says, the occasion is| worthy of the best efforts of the citizens of the District of Columbia. The communi- ty’s good repute should not be permitted to suffer through indifference. ——_~+eoo— ‘The social situation in New York has/ been further compticated by 4 movement to remove the free lunch irom the sa- loons.

Represents Kansas Better Than New York. From the New York World. ‘The speech of Senator Hill yesterday was significant chiefly because of its unequivocal announcement that he and hia “distin- guished colleague,” Sena:or Murphy, will vote for the repeal of the Sherman act. This was generally understood before, but the silver Senators have been hoping that he would attach some coniitivas to his support of the administration program that would encourage their policy of »bstruction. For the rest, the speech differs from his pre- vious ones in that it clearly defines his po- sition as a bimetallist and a friend of silver coinage. Heretofore he has concealed bis real views behind a haze of words. Now he is on record as favoring the free coinage cf silver at the ratio of 15 1-2 toi. It is hanily necessary to say, that in taking this position he represents nsas far more accurately than New York. ——_eo- ‘The Democrats Wi From the New York Times. ‘The democrats of the state will learn with some amusement that Mr. Hill and his dis- tinguished colleagues will cheerfully vote for the repeal bill, “unawed by power and uncorrupted by federal patronage.” The only “power” by which any Senator is like- ly to be “awed” into voting for the repeal bill is the power of honest public opinion, and for that Mr. Hill has always shown as much contempt as he dared. As for the “uncorrupted” condition of the senior Sena- tor from New York, {t has about as much contemporaneous Interest as the morals of an Athenian hetaerae. shcrein care se Hill Upon Cleveland. From the New York Tribune. ‘The Senator's criticism of President Cleve- land’s positon is decidedly keen. He calls attention to the threat that the administra- tion would give the country “an object les- son,” and to the “ghoulish glee” with which every bank failure has been exploited as a proof that the President was right, and he js meanwhile quite guarded in saying that possibly the Sherman act “has been most largely instrumental in producing existing troubles.” But he flatly refuses to follow, if the President means to favor monometal- lism, and insists on “free bimetallic coin- age.” He {s plainly right in treating the estion of ratlo a8 one of insignificant con- sequence. Be Amused. Business prospects throughout the United States seem to have improved consiterably during the last few days, a large number of factories that were closed down some time ago having resumed operations, in many in- stances with full forces. Financial strin- gency and a certain ainount of distrast still continue to annoy business men, but the evil is 007, It is believed, to be remedied, and then the old prosperity will return with renewed vigor. The subtreasuries are now paying out gold just as they have been pay- ing out other classes of money and this ac- tion seems to have restored considerable confidence. C has not yet made ite mind as to whether it will repeal the stl- ver law of 1890 or not, but the probabilities oint to some such desirable action in the ture; how far in the future no one can now prophecy. The world's fair is having &@ most successful run, the attendance dur- ing the week past being the heaviest yet known, and it grows steadily. Yellow fever has caused a panic at Brunswick, Ga., but there does not seem to be any real necessity for being scared, the number of cases be- ing i Hg Kansas is, ag usual, @ center of in’ it, her striking coal miners having succeeded in furnishing the news- Papers with more or less interesting matter every day.

New York anarchists have made @ good deal of cowardly fuss, but have been su] without very much difficulty whenever the police thought it necessary to close their meetings. A longshoremen strike in New York harbor threatens to be serious, but may be adjusted before it point.

With daily access of bitterness the tariff war between Russia and Germany contin- ues. Russia seems to feel the conflict more severely, the prices of grain having fallen very materially and measures for relief of distressed farmers and land owners are be- ing discussed; if there were any other than 90 apologetic and ignominious way out of the difficulty Russia would probably try to Take terms with her antagonut. Prince Bismarck has nee that he does not like the way are being run in the fatherland, and he will probably like them much less now that the Duke of Edinburgh, son of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, has suc- ceeded to the Duchy of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. France has enjoyed a n-w series of elections, which have passed off with ex- treme quietness; the which have come to the surface show that the royalist and Boulanger elements have practically been eliminated from French politics. Be- tween France and Italy the relations ure somewhat strained on account of tha mas- sacre at Mortes; several riotous demonstrations have been made egainst France by ini nt Itallans and ‘Froops have been called into requisition. France ang Slam are still negotiating about the améunt of territory the former is to occupy in the Siamese vicinity; Siam has little to say in the matter and will probably do just ex- actly what France wants it to do.
