As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. “i7Is order to oid delays, om ac- count ibsence, letters to THE ‘STA should not be addressed to Chicago is a great city. It has a great appetite and a maw that is great beyond the average comprehension. Possessing much, Chicago is never satisfied, but con- tinualiy reaches out for more. It has been termed the American Oliver Twist, but incorrectly, for Oliver was a timid being and inclined to humility. Oliver feared Mr. Bumble and was apologetic in his manner toward the petty monarch, but ‘Chicago would throw spit-balls at the gor- geously-uniformed beadle, and if there ‘was promise of profit in the transaction ‘would give him prominent place in a dime museum. Oliver is a misnomer; either Jack Sheppard or Dick Turpin seems much more fitting. The latest effort at larceny—fore- shadowed in The Star more than three months ago—is to obtain from Congress Possession of the Columbus caravels, re- productions of the original vessels, which were such interesting features of the ‘World’s Columbian Exposition. Chicago Wants to add these curios to the collec- tion of bric-abrac, which it has cajoled from exhibitors who were amenable to flattery or unable to defend themselves against Chicago's assaults. What action ‘Congress will take cannot now be outlined, ‘Dut it ts difficult to understand how it can Present to Chicago the Santa Maria—flag- ship of the ficet. That vessel was given to the United States by Spain and the gift ‘Was accompanied by a stipulation that it should, after the close of the exposition, ‘be permanently located in this city—the wapital of the nation. Congress may dis- Tegard the terms of the deed of gift, but it camnot do so without offending the donors. Aside from that consideration, however, there is no reason why the cara- vels should be presented to Chicago. Na- tional property of that sort ought not to be scattered. If there is any justice in Chi- cago’s claim, why may not every city in the country petition for a share of the treasures now in the National Museum? es —____ ‘With persistence such as exists only when there are many inciting dollars almost in view the advocates of the overhead-trolley method of street car propulsion are again being one-and with a base of supplies located on solid ground. This is Peary’s second expedition. The results of the first essay were so rich that he was encouraged to try again. Now comes forward another candidate for polar honors—Mr. Robert Stein of the United States geological survey. Mr. Stein, who, in addition to his many other virtues, is a Washingtonian, has formulated a plan of attack which has met the approval of a large number of those who are fully com- petent to judge. Just now he does not pro- pose to reach the north pole nor do any other very great thing, and the size of his Proposed party is as modest and as sensible as the other details of his plan. it is his idea that a party of ten men proceed in a whaling vessel to a station on the shore of Ellesmere Land, in Jones’ sound, and there establish @ base of supplies. Thence he proposes to explore an untrod region by smail parties for about fifteen months, returning to a point where homeward transportation can be secured. The entire cost is figured out to be $10,000, and it is a tribute to the practical character of the plan, as well as a remarkable indication of the interest which exists in the subject, that in the circular Mr. Stein has just is- sued he states that $6,700 have already been Promised. The money is being raised by private subscription, and it is expected that the amount needed will be secured in time for the party to leave this country in the sprirg. Mr. Stein points out in the circu- lar that it is entirely feasible to establish @ permanent station in this region, whence parties can be sent out and by gradual ap- proaches the zone of the unknown region can be reduced in extent and the line of approach to the pole brought nearer and rearer. Mr. Stein thinks it probable that locations could be selected for the stations which would be in such favored situations that the party could be sustained by the hunting. which might be available in the neighborhood. Unless aerostatics shall scon be successfully applied this genera- tion may not reach the northern axis of the earth, but should suecess come to the pedestrian explorer it will doubtless be brought about by such approaches as Mr. Stein believes in, and which his fellow- citizens sincerely hope will prove to be all his decidedly practical fancy imagines they are. ————_+ ++ -____. One of the most uséful institutions in the | District of Columbia—the Young Women's} Christian Home—extended its usefulness yesterday by throwing open its new build- ing, No. 311 C street northwest. The old home on Sixth street was a comparatively small affair, but {t was an instrument that wrought incalculable good. With accom- modations of considerably increased capa- city the practical style of salvation cannot but flourish as it deserves, Absolutely non- sectarian and conducted in accordance with Mberal ideas, this institution is worthy all the support that has been or will be given engaged in an endeavor to inflict that abom- 4nation upon the people of this city. The effort has been made before and has invari- ably failed, but new tactics are being em- ployed and there is more of hope in the trolley advocates’ breasts than has abided there for many months. Hitherto the cam- ‘aigns have been conducted after the reg- ular fashion—bills have been introduced and urged before the appropriate committees— Dut that kind of a fight failed every time. Committees refused to be corporative cats- Daws and declared themselves as fixed in their opposition to the obstructive poles and deadly wires, urged to this course by in- telligent public sentiment. The new plan ignores the committee and aims at a direct Sppeal to the House and Senate, probably through a rider to an appropriation bill. It seems quite improbable that either body will lend itself to the discrediting of a sub- division of itself, the membership of which 4s selected because it is closely acquainted with the District's needs. Such action by the House or the Senate would be discour- teous and unbusinesslike and could not but be resented by the committees in question. Washington does not want and will not have the disfiguring trolley on its streets. Every city has condemned the “cheap and nasty” motor, and except among those who profit by its operation or who expect to use it as a money-getter, it has no friends. ‘There is daily demonstration on U street of an infinitely better system—where the trol- Jey works in a conduit and therefore does mot obstruct the highways as would the un- sightly and dangerous machinery which an interested few are endeavoring to force up- on this community. The people of this city will fight the trolley as long as defensive pugilism is necessary. —_—~+e+e____ One year ago today there was revolution in Hawati—revolution that overturned a savage monarchy, put an end to a dynasty that was heathenish in its every inclina- tion, dethroned a queen who by her mur- derous instincts and immoral conduct had forfeited every right to rule a nation in which decency had a place. Over the ruins of a rotten throne—buried deeply and for- ever—strong men have builded a govern- ment that has in its policy elements of en- during strength. In the year which has elapsed since the corner-stone of honest administration was laid at Honolulu the mew power has been beset by trials which threatened its very existence, but * “through evil and good report” it has maintained itself in a manner highly creditable to the Americans who constitute its backbone. As we of the United States celebrate with Patriotic noise the anniversary of that ay when the forefathers declared the col- onies to be free and independent states, so should Hawaii rejoice over its emancipa- tion from a sovereignty that had become intolerable to every civilized resident of the islands. Hurrah for the Seventeenth of January! +22 ___ The gentlemen who are interested in winter racing at Ivy City may yet find it necessary to sit down in patience and wait for the meteorological phenomenon to ‘which Governor Waite looks forward. 3 ———++s____ It may be some comfort to Mr. Horn- blower to reflect that his defeat was ac- complished by a man who found his ideal Sfudicial candidate in Maynard. ———_+++____ It would indeed be pitiful for this gov- ernment to gain among nations the reputa- ton of being impecunious as well as garru- ous. ——_~++-o_. Suffering, disaster and Arctic exploration have heretofore been synonymous terms. Brave men have sought, even to the death, solution of the mystery which is enshrouded in the polar fields of paleocrystic ice. ‘Through winter and darkness little less than perpetual, hardy and determined explorers have wrestled with one of the most obsti- nate of nature’s secrets and ceased to strive only as they realized their helplessness. Some left their bones to mark the north- ‘ward road; others struggled back to civiliza- tion and home, bearing with them afflictions Ancurable—results of a contest in which in- @omitable courage was, under the circum- atances, of but little avail. The record is ene of which mankind has no need to be ashamed, for it originated in a desire which | today is strong as ever—to leave no consid- | erable area of this globe of ours unexplored | and to discover, if it be possible, the load- | stone which makes the mariner’s compass an instrument of inestimable value. But in | spite of all the herculean effort put forth | the greater portion of the Arctic zone re- mains an unknown region, and although Arctic history is mournful literature, there is probability that the darkest pages have been written and that in the near future will come successes unattended by human sacrifice of the appalling sort. Science is laboring to protect its votaries from ills such as beset the valiant ones who dared and met defeat, and the result can hardly be other than favorable to future endeavor. ‘The sum of worldly knowledge will be, per- haps, marvelously increased without deduc- | tions for loss of valuable lives. Better meth- ods are being used. Peary is now engaged in carrying on explorations in Greeland with a small party of workers—Mrs. Peary it. —_+ +> ____ It must be set down to the credit of the queen of the Sandwich Islands that during the controversy she did not do most of the talking, by any means. —_—++-____ The most horrid thing yet discovered about John Y. McKane is the fact that his newspaper pictures bear a certain resem- blance to those of Ward McAllister. > SHOOTING STARS, Cuckoo. E’en now there comes a balmy breath That whispers thoughts of May, And every twig is fain to wreathe The wood with blossoms gay. The earth her sweetest smiles would bring To greet him, should he woo This minstrel gay who sighs to Spring With dulcet note, “Cuckoo!” Why do you linger, truant bird, When all invites you here; When you to beauty with a word Might change the prospect drear? There’s surely none who would withhold The welcome that’s your due; So let us have it, soft, yet bold, That mystic song, “Cuckoo.” Taking No Chances. “What ye lookin’ fur?” asked Plodding Pete. “Work,” replied Meandering Mike. “What fur?" “So's I kin see it fust, an’ dodge.”* Cross-Examination. “How much did you say the diamonds that were stolen from you are worth?” asked the reporter, who is more candid than discreet. “Eight thousand dollars.” “Um—ah—at the pawn shop, or as an advertisement?” An Appeal to Mr. Oh, Jerry, is it you, lad, Togged out in socks! Oh. Jerry, is it true, lad, Ye've gone an’ saved up “rocks.” Oh. Jerry, is it so, lad? D’ye call the country “Frawnce?” Oh, Jerry, must ye go, lad, An’ change yer “pants” to “pawnce?” The Only Result. “Why don’t you give your servant an alarm clock, so that she will get up early in the morning?” “We've tried it,” was the sad reply. “What was the result?” “It simply disturbed her rest a little and made her snore worse than ever, It Took Time. “What did Congressman Binkles think of that interview with him that we printed yesterday,” asked the city editor. “He wouldn't say anything about it,” plied the newsgatherer. “Well, he can’t question its accuracy, can he?" “I don’t know. He hasn't heard yet what his constituents say about it.” A Sad Fate. Oh, pity the pugilist-= Do not rejoice; He's just had the grip Ad was robbed of his voice. roo The Trolley Raises Insurance Rates. From the New York World. The protest of the representatives of the fire insurance companies against the extension of the trolley system in this city was entitled to the respectful hear- ing that Mayor Gilroy gave it. Electricity is the cause of oo but, as the un- derwriters said, thee is no form of it so dangerous as the trolley. The mayor prom- ised the underwriters a hearing before any new legislation on this subject should come up. He ought to do more than this. The Huckleberry outrage must not be repeated. The mayor is in duty bound to use all the power and influence of his office to pre- vent the stringing of another trolley wire in the streets of New York. ——- ree A Timely Sarcasm. From the Detroit Free Press. A colored boy, sixteen years old, was the victim of the latest lynching sensation. It occurred in Ohio, and “the best citizens” | |in Adams county did the hanging. These | affairs have come to be very exclusive and the man who fs not away up in the so- cial scale has no chance to participate in | them. —-_ + e+ -____ A Lack of Balance. From the New York Record: While the statesmen are at work on the | tariff hundreds of thougands of people can find no work to do, > 2 H Unpardonable Policy. From the Baltimore American, President Cleveland yesterday refused to pardon a policy player. If it was worse than the administration’s Hawaiian policy the refusal was eminently proper. ——o— Not Much Policy. From the New York World. 3 A contemporary speaks of “our foreign policy in Hawaii.” It is certainly foreign, but is it policy? Stranger Than Fiction. $6.98 For $18, $22 and $25 Wraps.
