Editor. = : = ~ THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. avoid delays, on ac- letters to ply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. “Whether the Kentucky Democracy de- cides today to assume the burden of W. C. P. Breckinridge’s guilt or not, it ean be taken for granted that no man smirched as he is will, in the future, venture to offer himself to an intelligent people for election to office.” So says the Philadelphia Press, and for the condition thus described the country should be devoutly thankful. There have been Americans in public life whose conduct was quite as reprehensible as that confessed by Breckinridge and there are Probably some to be found today occupying conspicuous places in some of the branches of our government, but the future will de- velop comparatively few of these undesir- able characters in connection with Ameri- can history; for no matter what conclusion may be reached today by the democrats of the Ashland district, the country at large has had its moral sense completet awakened. It may be that Breckinridge will secure both nomination and election, but even were he chosen by acclamation he would have less influence in the next House of Representatives than any other member of that body. His support of any measure could not but work it injury; his opposi- tion to a bili would probably rally to its support Many members who would other- wise have no interest in it. If the Ash- land district desires to have such a repre- sentative, it is privileged to elect him, but if it does so it will dishonor itself and stain deeply the good name of Kentucky. But no matter whether Breckinridge be ac- cepted or rejected by those to whom he has appealed for indorsement, great good sas been accomplished by the discussion con- sequent upon his candidacy; the moral Plane of public men will hereafter be far More exalted than it ever has been. — roe From Brazil comes rumor which declares that those who were most prominent in the revolt which was finally suppressed by President Peixoto will once more endeavor to overthrow the republic and to proclaim @ monarchy over at least the province of Rio Grande do Sul. This rumor, however, is denied by Admiral Mello, who was one of the insurgent leaders during the recent rebellion. Not only is the denial very posi- tive, but a countercharge is filed by the admiral, who says that it is strongly the opinion of many Brazilians that President Peixoto will refuse to turn over his office to President-elect Moraes when the day for the inauguration of the latter comes around. The Mello idea ts that Peixuto witli soon announce himself as military dictator, and in support of this conclusion the ad- miral calls attention to the fact that Peix- oto has increased the army from 14,000 to 24,000 men, has purchased about one hundred and fifty thousand-rifies and has ordered heavy ordnance id large quant- ities of defensive material for the forts now in his possession. The possibility of @ dictatorship is never remote in any of the South American countries, so Meilo's accusation is by no means a strange one, but it is nothing less than absurd to talk of re-establishing a monarchical govern- ment in Brazil or anywhere else on this continent. Administrations in the United Stetes may and do and will differ as to poll- cies, bat whether the executive and legisla- tive powers be in the hands of democrats, republicans, populists or prohibitionists, there would be instant action on the part of the United States should any effort be made to substitute monarchical methods for republican instituttona, - -~ ——- +02 —— ‘The herrible tragedy which took place in Eest Washington yesterday morning icaches a lesson that should not be permitted to pass unheeded. The sanctity of the home is a precious thing, and so ts human life. ‘There are times when the circumstances surrounding marital infidelity prompt to the commissien of murder, but only gt rare in- tervais does there appear to be justification for the administration of the death penaity by a self-corstituted court. As to the guilt or innocence of the woman who was hurried into eternity, any expression of opinion would, at this time, be unseemly; on the verge of dissolution she pleaded innocence, and until conviction is complete, that plea must siand. Of the murderous guilt ef ner husband, there is not, nor can there be, any question. That the awful happening will frighten people into the path of virtue is not at adl likely, but it may serve a good purpose if it teaches jealous husbands and wives the folly of attempting to punish one crime by the commission of another. The man or woman who is faithiess to the vows made before heaven can quite propezly be regarded as too worthless to waste ammu- nition upon. —_—__ + +e There seems to have been a miscalcula- tion on the part of the New York anti-Platt republicans who thought Chauncey Depew would head a revolt against the machine nomination of Morton. Chauncey is home again, and says he is net a candidate tor governor, and that he will support the regular nomine: with all his might. + The New York Tribune (anti-Platt) scems ® bit disappoinied by Depew’s declension, and says: “It is only tair to say that before Mr. De- bew departed on the Paris about six weeks ago he was invited to become a candidate for governor; that on this invitation he main- tained the position that the call was not sufficiently strong for him; but there is no doubt about the fact that in his conversa- tion Mr. Depew led some of his closest friends to believe that if the republican party demanded his services in the coming campaign he would not ignore a proper call. It is upon this idea that many of his friends have combined to bring him forward im the peading campaign.” soe ‘The commander of the English man-of- war that at about f o'clock on the lth of August fired a regulation salute because twelve Japanese men-of-war and six Japan- €se torpedo boats were entering the harbor of Wei-fat-Wel, In the Guif of Pechill, may be called upon to explain his extraordinary conduct. Had there been no other vessel save his own in the harbor when the Japanese fleet was coming in the firing of @ salute in the middle of the night would have been a remarkable occurrence of no particular consequence to any one but the responsible person, but when it appears that the salute was fired to warn the six Chinese vessels that were sheltering in darkness behind the slumbering forts, the conduet of the English officer becomes in- ternationally interesting. ‘The first gun awakened the Chinese to a sense of peril— for they, in common with all other sailors the world over, know that salutes are not fired between sunset and sunrise—and in a very short space of time the Chinese search- lights disclosed the invading ships, and fire Was opened by the Chinese gunners. The enly casualty that took place, however, was the sinking of a Chinese torpedo boat that was foolish enough to put Itself in the way of a Japanese torpedo boat. It is said by the New York Herald, through which the rst account of the affair became public, that he Japanese government has purposely ikiden the facts now Aisclose?. so as to prevent the possible growth of anti-British feeling in Japan. From the beginning it was evident that English influences would, in the struggle which is now on, be favor- able to China. The conduct of the British naval officer at Wei-Hai-Wel strongly cor- roborates several hitherto incoherent scraps of testimony. If Great Britain knows when she is well off she will refrain from med- dling in the Chinese-Japanese imbroglio, for Russia only needs a very flimsy excuse to make a movement that could not do otherwise than cause Great Britain much anxiety, and perhaps bring on a conilict between the two powers that have ever since the Crimean war keen growling at «ach other over their possessions in the East. For years past, European statesmen have been extremely careful of utterance and have equipped even their thoughts with rubber shoes, lest the much-prophesied European war should, through a foolish re- mark or an unconsidered act, be brought to pass. Would it not be strange if an English naval officer with pro-Chinese sympathies or instructions should start the fateful ball rolling in the China seas? ————_+ e+ _ —_ It is understood that the War Department authorities have decided to transfer the troops now at Fort Myer to other posts and to bring hither in their place four troops of the sixth cavalry. The present garrison consists of K of the ninth, A of the first, H of the eighth and F of the seventh, com- manded as a whole by Brevet Brigadier General Guy V. Henry. Col Gordon, who is slated te succeed Gen. Henry in command at Fort Myer, will doubtless bring with him an excellent squadron, but the newcomers will need to be decidedly above the average if they would keep up to the present plane the reputation of the force at Fort Myer. Good behavior has been the almost un- broken rule, the officers have been deserved- ly popular, and, more than all, the squadron has developed military efficiency the like of which, it is believed, cannot be surpassed by any other four troops in the army. Un- der Gen. Hqpry the post has become as nearly a model institution as the economical administration of the Quartermaster-Gen- eral’s department would permit. The de- Parture of Gen. Henry and of the officers and men row at Fort Myer will be very properly regretted by a large number of Washingtonians, many of whom received their first real information as to military matters through the wide-open hospitality of those who will soon receive orders to de- part. > Mayor Gilroy of New York has returned from Europe laden with material out of which he is manufacturing all sorts of com- parisons that are invariably to the advan- tage of New York city and its so-called government. One of the most remarkable of these comparisons is that which resulted in a statement as to the relative cleanliness of streets in New York, London and Paris. Mayor Gilroy avers that in neither of the European capitals named are the streets as well paved or as cleanly as are the thor- oughfares of Gotham, and the averment is made with every appearance of seriousness. Fortunately for the truth of municipal history, but unfortunately for the mayor's reputation for accurate observation and veracious comment, there are in all our large cities thousands of men and women who have seen much more of the places referred to than Mayor Gilroy ever has seen or ever will see, and these will not hesitate to disagree with “his honor.” Mayor Gilroy has also asserted that New York is well and economically governed through the instrumentality of Tammany. if this latter statement of his is no more accurate than his testimony as to the rela- tive cleanliness and condition of the streets of London, Paris and New York, then the sooner New York city has a chance of gov- ernment the better it will be for the tax- payers and the country generally. ——_ + ee When the American yacht Vigilant was being so vigorously and unfairly criticised and her owners and navigators abused without stint, there was much guessing on this side of the Atlantic as to the causes which prompted such inhospitable conduct, and many harsh things were said of that ancient British theory as to British fair- play. The truth is out at last. It was brought over by Admiral Erben of the United States Nevy, who was in England when the Britannia and the Vigilant were striving for honors. The admiral says that @ great many Englishmen were much dis- appointed because of the failure of Mr. Gould's yacht to win at least a majority of the races, something those same English- men hed bet on being accomplished. It was supposed by Americans who felt hurt at the English newspaper innuendo that the harshness was merely an expression of anti-American feeling, but Admiral Erben's revelation would seem to show that the criticisms originated with the possessors of pocketbooks that were flattened because their owners risked their money on the suc- cess of a foreign yacht. Thus is another great mystery uncovered and explained. 0. —______ Five days will soon be all the time re- quired for a passenger to journey from a steamer’s dock in New York harbor to the heart of London. Arrangements are about completed for the opening up of a steam- ship route across the Irish channel which will terminate at Fishguard, on the Weish coast, there to connect with an almost due €ast railroad line to London. The advant- ages of this route have long been apparent, but the powerful influences of the big sea- ports have hitherto been sufficiently strong to upset the plans of those promoters who have long desired to diminish the period of travel between New York and London. The many improvements in marine engi- neering make certain a steady increase in the speed of steamships, and when this is supplemented by the straightening out of the railroad kinks heretofore existing at the British end of the journey, there ought to be no trouble whatever in making the five days’ journey a regular thing within a few months. —__ + += ___ If the aggrieved married women of the country were all to follow the example of the man who yesterday killed his wife on suspicion the destruction of Sennacherib and his hosts would fade into comparative insignificance. ———- +e | ___ It is a noteworthy fact that the only in- dividual whose casual social visits to the President are systematically made public is Actor Joseph Jefferson.
