THE EVENING STAR has a regul: permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a t7In order to oid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed ividual connected with the simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- Senator Gallinger has evidently satisfied himself as to the shortcomings which af- fect the efficiency of our public school sys- tem. A few days since he expressed him- self in the Senate as believing that the school facilities here were nearly, if not quite, adequate to the wants of the chil- dren; now he knows better—if he did not then. At that time he also said: “If it shall appear that the school facilities are inadequate I am sure that Congress will hasten to make necessary appropriations to provide necessary school accommodations.” ‘The Star, in commenting on the Senator's remarks, said it hoped he would prove a success in his role of prophet, and, so far as the Senate is concerned, he fills the bill admirably. The Senate Committee on Ap- propriations gave careful consideration to the arguments presented by the friends of the schools and reached the altogether creditable conclusion that there was urgent need for a much greater expenditure than that authorized by the House of Represent- atives; in this conclusion they seem to have the hearty sympathy and unyielding sup- port of the Senate. Complimenting the members of the Senate committee on their report, Senator Gallinger said: “They have recognized the necessity and have met the emergency in a spirit of lib- erality that is worthy of all praise. It is a good beginning, to be followed, I trust, in future Congresses by still more generous appropriations, and to be continued until every child in the District is given the full- est opportunity for an education and a right start in life. In culture, in refine- ment, in art, in Hterature and science Washington will compare with the most ad- vanced cities of the world. Her streets, avenues, churches, homes and public build- ings are the pride of the people of the en- tire nation. One blot alone seems to be on her fair name, and that is that adequate provision has not been made for educating the masses. It is a serious blemish, and in the interest alike of virtue and good gov- ernment we should welcome the determina- tion of the Senate Committee on Appropria- tions to remedy the evil.” The portrait presented by the Senator from New Hampshire is admirably truthful and will be recognized by all who have the welfare of Washington at heart. It is a serious blemish on the District's reputation that any children (not to say any consider- able number of children) should be without opportunity to acquire at least the rudi- ments of the education that today is es- sential to success in any civilized com- munity. The condition complained of wouid not be in existence had Congress acceded to the requests of the District Commission- ers and the board of school trustees, but the national legislature has an unfortunate and inexcusable habit of ignoring estimates that are in every respect honest whenever a majority of our legislators happen to be aiflicted with the entirely mistaken idea that economy consists in refusing to ap- propriate money actually needed. For the stand taken by the Senate Committee on appropriations and by the Senate itself the people of the District of Columbia are grateful; not because they are improper beneficiaries, but because they have be- come accustomed to exhibiting gratitude for congressional permission to purchase with their own money even the common necessaries incidental to municipal govern- ment. Coneluding his speech last Saturday, Senator Gallinger called upon the Senate to stand by the committee “in the amend- ments proposed, and stand by them, too, in any contest that may arise in the commit- tee of conference over these proposed in- creases for the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia.’ The people of the Dis- trict of Columbia re-echo the Senator's call for righteous adheston to a good cause. ———_ ++ --—__ Hardly a day passes without the appear- ance in the public press of anti-trolley tes- timony that amply justifies the opposition which has prevented the overhead trolley combination from taking possession of this city’s streets. The primary objection to the trolley was the obstructiveness of its poles and wires—a danger most conspicu- ous when they interfered with the opera- tions of the fire department. Since then there have developed other objections even more serious; the causing of conflagrations by broken wires, the killing of many people by the same cause and the interruption of gas and water service because the process of electrolysis ate away the pipes. One of the cities that permitted the overhead trol- ley to come in and possess everything it imagined it wanted is Philadelphia, and there the people are praying for speedy re- lief; yesterday their petitions were renewed as the result of a series of occurrences by no means surprising but decidedly alarm- ing. The arm of a trolley car lost connec- tion with the overhead feed-wire, collided with an uncharged trolley wire on another line, broke it, put it In connection with a feed-wire and started a pyrotechnic dis- play that cleared the street like magic. Then one end of the charged wire got into touch with an awning post and permitted the wandering current to do a great deal of damage. The fluid ran from the awn- ing post to the water pipe beneath, burst the pipe and released the water, much to the detriment of a cellar, in which valuable goods were stored. The proprietor of the cellar and the property above it speedily discovered that something was wrong but could not get outside of his house for quite awhile, the delay being caused by the elec- tricity which had bewitched his door-locks; for some time it was impossible to turn a key. Meanwhile the current had worked up a water spout and destroyed it; at the same time setting fire to the cornice of an adjacent store. Two doors further on, the occupant of a house “attempted to draw water from a bathroom faucet and was astounded beyond measure when a shower of fiery sparks burst forth, followed by the desired water which, incidentally, was laden with enough of the current to shock the woman who was holding the pitcher. Almost immediately the two bathtub fau- cets became red hot and fell, misshapen, into the tub. The amount of damage done was not, when expressed in figures, very great—a thousand dollars would cover all— but only by exercising precaution was sertous trouble averted. And yet some peo- ple wonder why the city of Washington does not want to have anything to do with the overhead trolley! — -24e China seems to be as weak in the field of diplomacy as on the field of battle. To the watching world it has been evident for some time that Japan must ultimately be vietorfous in the strife which. up to this time, has been practically one-sided; and it was reasonably supposed that as soon as this cendition was evident to the Chinese authorities there would be speedy move- ment toward an agreement with Japan which should terminate the unequal strug- gle. There was every reason why China should sue for peace; its army had demon- strated Incapacity from the outset, its navy was as great a failure, and there was al- most complete absence of anything that even faintly c«sembled patriotic interest in the quarrel that arose over Corea. There was every reason why Japan should keep! up the fight; its soldiers had exhibited un- expected ability, its sailors did quite as well in very many respects as the trained seamen of the great European navies, and throughout the length and breadth of Japan there wus the strongest possible war-feeling. From the day when it was first whispered that China would endeavor to secure a cessation of hostilities, Japan has given every indication of intention to decline—until the world’s opinion made declination longer impossible—anything like serious consideration of a proposit‘on look- ing to peace, and, however the situation may have appeared to Chinese statesmen, it was plain enough to every intelligent newspaper reader in the United States that Japan would take advantage of every tech- nicality to continue the triumphant march of its power toward the Chinese capital. Japan's attitude was by no means unr sonable. For many years China had bullied its little neighbor without hindrance and it is only natural for Japan to keep on mak- ing plain its military superiority until China openly admits that it is, aiter all, a very inferior power, in spite of the over- whelming advantage it has as to popula- tion. “Then, too, the Jeparese, knowing well the character of those with whom they had to deal, had little or no coniidence im the declarations of the Celestial diplo- mats; they rightly suspected that every day of delay would be used by the Chinese for the purpose of improving offensive and defensive opportunities, and very properly it was decided to refuse China such a great advantage. Now it appears that the Chi- mrese envoys who were sent to Japan ap- Farently for the purpose of arranging a peace had no authority to do anything rere than refer whatever agreement might te reached to the government at Pekin; this would indicate insincerity or stupid- y on the part of China, for Japan had served formal notice on China that envoys not accredited with plenipotentiary powers would not be dealt with. It may be that those subordinately In charge of Chinese #ffairs are anxious to see the dynasty by which they are governed totter to its fall; if that be so, then the proceedings that tow have the appearance of exceeding strangeness can be accounted for. While the Chimese envoys are moving homeward the Japanese armies will be advancing steadily, and when they reach Pekin, as they undoubtedly will unless interfered by dipiomatic action, there will prob- ably be an end of Manchu rule in China. ————_ + e+ -——_—_ The Heuse of Representatives did the right thing when it recommitted to the Committee on Pacific Railroads that meas- ure which is popularly known as the fund- ing bill. The scheme involved promised profit enly to those who have already se- cured pessession ¢f very much more than is their own. Heretofore only spasmodic attention has been given the great inter- ests of the government in the Pacific rail- way properties; it is time to assert a right that never could be asserted were the prac- tically-defeated bill ever to become a law. —_< es __ Japan is disposed to discourage the tradi- tion that a lavish consumption of time and gn enormous surplusage of conversation “re necessary to the transaction of official business.

He had been away from the city for a long time and was delighted to find that so few changes had taken place. “There's the post-office building,” he said. “Just the same as when I left it years ago.

From the New York Times. The Building Trades Council of St. Louts, made up of delegates from thirty-two unions representing the building trades of the city, has adopted a new constitution and abolished the walking delegate. It declares strikes to be unnatural and boy- cotts un-American, and discountenances a resort to either. It favors arbitration as the rational mode of settling labor dis- putes. * * * Strikes and boycotts are war and not agencies of peaceful industry, and the walking delegate is a petty ty- rant and a public nuisance. Trades union- ism is making progress in St. Louis, and the example should have a good effect elsewhere. no Novelties in Florida Entertainment. From the New York Press.
