4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1898-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. PRIDAY..............November 3, 1893. Edit —— THE EVENING STAR has a reguler and permanent circulation in Washing- tom move than three times larger than that of y other paper. Asa News and Advertising Medium it has me competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Bi mess Depart character vidual connected with the The statement has repeatedly been printed that Secretary Lamont continues to re- ceive as many callers as he received during the first week after he took charge of the War Department, when the city was filed with thousands who were an hungered aud athirst for the pie and mil’ of office. «Cre writer, in calling attention to the incessant vush, referred to that earlier period as the | “first week of Secretary Lamont’s admin- istration; language that does Col. Lament | much injustice, for, as a matter of fact, he has been so crowded by the clamorous pell- tleians as to make anything ‘ike an “ad- ministration” of ‘War Department affairs utterly impossible. With a beseeching mul- titude around him while he is ‘n this city he has no opportunity to thoroughly ac- quaint himself with the military affairs of the country and his chances ‘or acquiring mecessary information are even more slender when he journeys out of town to consult with the “snappers” and the “anti- snappers;” with the followers of Tammany and with those who, if they could, would chop off the tiger’s tail close behind the animal’s ears. Every department of the government suffers from red tape and from @ too prevalent notion that encient tdeas alone are deserving of consideration and it seems to the unprejudiced as though there ‘was at least as much of perverse antiquity fm the War Department as in any other executive subdivision. The teniency to travel in @ rut is natural and difficult to overcome and there is nothing surprising im the repressive influences exerte1 by con- servative old-timers when the ilvely element tries to make practical application of re- is, after all, cheaper than the old-fashioned way, and in some respects, at least, it ig more humane, but it will have to stop some day. Italy has reached her limit now. One of Great Britain's financial authorities said not long ago that European nations must either become bankrupt or reduce their mil- itary expenditures. Such a broad statement is hardly supported by the facts in all eases, but that it was correct as to at least one is evident. As to others, Sir Charles Dilke, who discussed this subject in a recent con- tribution to the North American Review, said he was skeptical, but he saw then how Italy stood, for he said, “it is, indeed, pos- sible that Italy may reduce her expenditure upon an army, the necessity of which to her existence is far from plain to her friends, although by her policy she has made it less unnecessary than it would otherwise have | been.” Reviewing the military investments of the various nations, Sir Charles said that | the annual expenditure of about $280,000,000 |in the British Empire, “is a flea-bite as com- pared (in its ill effect upon the wealth of the nation) with the military expenditures | of Italy, or, in a less degree, with that of the | other continental powers, The evidences of the overpressure of taxation in India itself, many as they are, are slight in comparison with those which are present in the case of |Italy.” After stating the military invest- ments of France at $20,000,000, of Germany |at $19,000,000 and of Russia at $170,000,000, Sir Charles showed his knowledge of the | situation by asserting that “the position of Italy is the weakest of the whole of the | great powers, She is the power whose war | expenditure is the least easily borne, and the | one whose finances stand the worse—chiefly, | however, on account of her enormous debt, | rather than on account of the direct pres- | sure_of her present military and naval ex- | penditure, considered by itself." In view of such authoritative statements as these there | 1s really nothing surprising in Italy's move- |ment toward a material reduction in her military force. ——+—>+2—____ Brooklyn's decent citizens are engaged in a desperate struggle with a municipal “ring” the like of which has not affilcted | any city—always excepting New York—for | many years, Corruption has been manifest in the dealings of the city council and the | city officials throughout the whole of Mayor | Boody’s term.

Pres- | ident Peixoto is evidently earnest in his en- deavors to raise the blockade of Rio and although his agents have net as yet suc- eeeded in purchasins cruisers or battleships with which to assail the heavier vesseis of Mello’s fleet they have secured some excel- Jent umarmored ships that, when fully equipped, should cauee the reb<ls more than @ little inconvenie:ce, The recent acquisi- | tions to the Peixoto navy are fine specimens | of naval mercantile architecture, much more | speedy and with greater coal endurance | than the best of war vessels. Mello has a | remarkably efficient fleet at his command | and it is especially strong in torpedo boats. | Several of thes craft are equal to any in | existence and upen them Mello must place | considerable dependence for it is still an_ open question as to wrether a rapid-moving unarmored cruiser is nyt equal to the task of defeating # cun.-brmus and badly handled | ship of war. The seamansh!p and gunnery | displayed on Mello’s vessels have been of the very ordinary typ, and if th> converted merchant steamers purchased by the Brazil- fan government are well manned, as they Probably will be, Admiral Mello may have | Feagon to regret his pernicious activity. Evidence accumulates in behalf of the the- ory that Mello’s object is the restoration of the monarchy and there is testimony that at least one of the European powers is sup- plying the insurgents with munitions of war. It is but fair to presume that Presi- dent Cleveland is watchful in this matter and that should he be satisfied of foreign interference he will act speedily and with a | proper regard for the doctrines in which | this country so steadfastly believes. ee | Mr. Reed proved himself to be his cwn Alexander in the House yesterday, by tying | a Gordian knot and then untying it. The Process, reduced to plain print, may sound like the story of the famous feat of that merry French monarch who marched his @rmy up a hill only to let them march | down again. But Mr. Reed is not a figure | for useless exercise. He serves a purpose at | every turn. Yesterday he not only gained | is point about the tariff bill but gave another of his celebrated object lessons cs | to the value of an automatic quorum coun- | ter. It is noteworthy that his rotundity | filled the path, and that the wagon did not | Teli om until he stepped aside. ——_ + e2 —___ ‘The mental condition known as crankism is scientifically referred to «s Paranoia. This interesting circumstance does not carry with it any more comfort for possible victims than does the fact that murder may be delicately designated as homicide. Cnar- {table distinctions in choice of sanguage went quite far enough when k!eptomania Mr. Maynard is anxious that the political Statitude idea which is responsible for the syceesges of Van Alen and Rooseyett be extended to fit his case. ———~+e—_____. It is ap interesting and perhaps important fact that Governor Pennoyer is hardly heard of except when he does something absurd or eccentric. ————_-e+____ Italy is moving to reduce her army and for the most pressing if not the best of rea- Sons; she cannot afford to maintain it in its Present expensiveness. The proposition to Feduce eulls especial attention to the fact that not only Italy but all the European countries are overstocked with soldiers, that | every Old World power—no matter how rich 4 ists spending more money on its army than ft ean really afford to invest in goods that are likely to spoil or be spoiled in a com- paratively brief period. Not that there ts prospect of immediate fighting, but methods have been modernized. In days not long gone by the nations warred with one anoth- er and slew one another at a great and Often extravagant rate and possessed them- selves of one another's treasures and lands @s @ partial reimbursement for the outlay involved. But they do things differently now. Each keeps an army and navy in readiness for immediate service, and up to ‘this time each has increased its forces at about the same rate. Occasionally one would Make a spurt and then all the others—to Preserve the peace of Europe—would recruit more soldiers and launch a new vessel. In this way the armies of Europe have grown enormously, until onlookers were reminded | of the Esopian frog who rent himself asun- der i his endeavors to be larger than the cow. It isa bloodless sort of a game in| which the combatants, with cards easily vis- ible to all the other players, have continued to bet s0 long as a coin remained. Perhaps this method of building up national prestige of what is going on, but he will not move a foot to assert the dignity of law because he has not received “orders” to do so; and as any orders on that subject could come only from the “boss” himself-Hugh Me- Laughlin—interference is the least probable thing that could be easily imagined. Or- dinarily the police do not wait for orders when they see an offense being committed but in Brooklyn they do, it seems, just what the “ring” wants them to do. Wash- ingtonians should be grateful that such a state of affairs—existing to a greater or less extent in every eity where votes are purchasable—cannot be duplicated here. ——_ + = ____ That rare jewel—consistency—to the pos- session of which the New York Sun makes claim, has probably been swallowed by neighbor Dana’s omnivorous office cat. In a justifiable assault on Mr. Roosevelt Roosevelt, and another assault on the | President—as to the justifiability of which Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Dana may argue among themselves—the Sun honors Mr. Henry White, the ex-secretary to the American embassy at London, by referring to him as “a particularly experienced office holder in American diplomacy,” who had been “removed in order that his place and its agreeable honors might be conferred upon Mr. Roosevelt.” In another para- graph our dissatisfied contemporary insists that Mr. White “has certainly had a long enough term of office,”"and that “his re- moval from the secretaryship was required by the rules of the very best and only genuine kind of civil service reform.” ‘What was the name of the profound think- er who ascribed contemporaneous inconsis- tency to moral weakness? ———- +e = __ Ignorance of American politics in Europe is so general and so profound that some ef our diplomatic representatives can confi- dently look forward to very congenial associations. 0 _With Congress to adjourn and the ways and means committee in session, there is a wholesome prospect of less talk and mcre work, —_—__ + +2 —___ Major McKinley doubtless notes with Serenc satisfaction the steady diminution of the Neal enthusiasm supplies. ———_ o— SHOOTING STARS, Spoiling His Satisfaction. “Weally,” said Willie Wibbles, sidah myself quite fohtunate.” “Why?” she queried. “I wead a gweat deal in the papahs about the fun that is made of young men who ahe waising mustaches.

From the New York Tribune. The brutal truth about the failure of the Senate to confirm the nomination of Mr. Hornblower was told yesterday to our cor- respondent in Washington by a democratic member of the House. He says that the nomination is “held up” in the judiciary committee because Mr. Hornblower took part im the Bar Association's investiga- tion of Maynard and is strongly opposed to Maynard's election: hence his confirma- tion would be regarded by the democrats ot this state-the Hill democrats, of | course—aa “an unfriendly act.” The Town Talk Today [st in progress at THE MORAN SHOE STORE, 434 9TH ST.
