EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. AY 00, seceees March 22, 1895. BY 8. NOYES................ Editor. HO EVENING STAR has a regular permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it { hh mo competitor. €7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to |THE STAR should not be addresxed -to any individual connected with the office, but stmply to THE STAR, or to ‘the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. a * There can be no concealing the fact that the diplomatic relations of the United States with certain nations of Europe are in such’ a condition as to make the exercise of’ great care absolutely necessary. Every Patriotic motive should inspire Americans to give to the administration all possible support and encouragement in its embar- rassments without regard to political preju- dices or party affiliations. At the present time there is no war cloud on the horizon nor Is one likely to arise unless the present difficulties with Great Britain and Spain regarding the Nicaragua and Venezuela disputes on the one hand and the Allianca affair on the other should become much more serious than now seems: probable. The great difficulty in the way of satis- factory adjustments that will preserve the American prestige in the south lies in the fact that the Monroe doctrine has never obtained the recognition among European nations that Americans generally believe that it has. There has undoubtedly been @ good deal of patriotic faith in the prin- ciple of this doctrine as a sort of talismanic spell bound to preserve the honor and dig- nity of the United States at all hazards and in @ll questions regarding the inter- vention by European powers with the small states in South and Central America. ‘There is no doubt in the minds of most Americans that the Monroe doctrine is sound doctrine and that the best interests of this country require its rigid enforce- ment. In the Nicaraguan case cause has apparently been given to Great Eritain by Nicaragua for ua demand of a certain amount of indemnity on account of the ex- pulsion of a British consular officer and cer- tain British subjects. At the same time and by the same transaction equal ground was given to the United States for a simi- lar claim so that in a sense this govern- ment may sympathize with the British de- mand. The United States cannot well deny the right of Great Britain to enforce the claim for indemnity, even though excessive, by a show of strength, possibly by a warlike demonstration. The trouble is that Great Britain, if driven to thie extremity, can hardly be expected to stop with a mere demonstration, and the difficulty with which this administration is now con- frented is the question of when, if at any time, the United States should intervene to prevent the encroachment by the British upon the Nicaraguan territory. That such encroavhments would be disastrous to the commercial welfare of the United States in view of the proposed construction of the Nicaragua canal and also in- violation of the Monroe doctrine cannot well be doubted: The case: in Venezuela has no: such immediate application but the same principles so far as the Monroe doctrine is concerned govern in both cases. Taken al- together the lot of the present Secretary of |, States is by no means an enviable one and it is not to be wondered that he shows an extraordinary amount of nervous irritation when approached for news concerning the various complications that now confront him. oo ‘There is no more‘ dangerous criminal in any community than the incendiary. He ts | worse in some aspects than the murderer, for while the latter takes single lives de- liberately and with malice, the fire-bug, by @ reckless, indiscriminate application of the torch, may cause the death of hundreds. The speedy detection and punishment of arson must be assured if the community is to be protected, and therefore the prompt and effective work of the Washington police in capturing, so far as every scrap of testimony now goes to show, the woman who set fire to two churches in this city yesterday is deserving of the highest -praise dnd the sincere thanks of the peo- plé: It is fortunate that the attempts of yesterday were but the results of a dis- ordered brain, and that they were not a part of any serious fanatical attack upon church property. The spectacle presented by the case is a sad one, indeed, and the sympathy of all the people will be given to the poor creature whose vagaries have led her to the desperate attempts that were so fortunately checked by prompt action. The purely detective aspect of the crime is:interesting dnd demonstrates that |, the Washington police are fully capable |: of doing their duty in such an emergency. ——_+ = ____ Will not some of those editors wlio: are tearing their hair about that “priceless constitutional right” of trial for libel in | “the vicinage of the libeller please give some adequate’ reason way the priceless constitutional right of a citizen to a good reputation in his own vicinage should not be respected? The latter right is surely quite as inalienable as the former. —_—_ + = ____ In declining to give up the salary which attaches to her position on the state board of charities for the less remunerative dig- nities of Mayor of Wichita Mrs. Lease at once disproves’ the repeated assertion that @ woman cannot grasp the practical de- tails of politics. ——_~+=+_ Rider Haggard’s desire to go to parlia- ment may be a perfectly natural ambition, but it if hard to understand how a man ‘with his energetic imagination can hope to compose the sort of political speeches to be foand in’ the London newspapers. S ——“_++ oe Li Hung Chang has atrived safely iri Japan. However it is the manner of his arrival in China that most concerns him at te presént time. —____ +++ The tremendous magnitude of the street ratlway passenger traffic in large cities of tle present time has just been demon- strated by the publication in New York of statistics relating to the profits and work of the rozds of that city during the past yéat. The various items printed foot up to totals that are little else than appalling. In the twelve months ending June 30th last the various street car lines of New York carried an aggregate of 246,226,197 pas- sengers, an increase of over four million over the twelve months preceding. A very considerable proportion of this business was done by the great syndicate of lines known as the Metropolitan Traction Com- pany, which carried 107,000,000 of passen- gers, being a considerable increase over the preceding year. In ‘addition to this multitude cafried by the surface roads, the elevated roads tn twelve months handled over 221,000,000 passengers, making a total for all kinds of transportation tn the city of 467,000,000 passengers carried in one year. Not the least interesting item of these statistics relates to the earnings of the roads, which also aggregate into almost fabulous sums. The gross earnings of all the roads in the year ending June 30, 1804, wére $12,268,583. Of this amount $1,854,538 were net earnings, making thé net earn- irigs Of all the roads a very small fraction léss thar 85% per cent of the gross earn- it.gs. The value to stockholders of organi- gation and consolidation {s shown by the all the other roads in the city were 32 2-10 Fer cent. The roady belonging to: the Met~ Tepolitan syndicate made individual divi- dends ranging from 6 to-18 per cent, while the lines outside. of the corporation paid dividends averaging but 4.16 per cent: An interesting comparison is given in the matter of operating expenses, those of the outside lines being 67.81 of the gross earnings, while to operate the Metropoli- tan system cost but 60.24 per cent. Still another comparison is given between the street railroads: and the steam railroads as mcrey earners. The New York Central with 5,280 miles of track earned in one year $14,151,230, this being an average of $268.16 per mile, while the Metropolitan Traction Company with 141 miles of. track earned $2,127,857, an average of $15,091.11 per mile. Is it any wonder that the Phila- delphia Traction Syndicate at a meeting of stockholders held yesterday voted to in- crease the capital stock from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in order to make extensions that will give a total mileage of 205.49 miles? Both the New York and Philadel- phia branches of the great syndicate ap- Pear to be prosperous, and covetous glances. liave been cast by it upon the tempting fleld of the national capital. —__ +2 The worm has. turned. For many years unfortunate manhood has: suffered. from the wiles of designing maidens and has: been mulcted for damages in breach of picmise cases. The proposing young man was a fair mark for mercenary maidens. But suffering humanity has endured too long and now comes the news to show that the boot is on the other foot. Prince Al- bene, a dime museum performer, who, in Private life is known by the unromantic kame of Ford, is about to enter suit in New York for $50,000 damages against Jen- nie May Applegate, a seventeen-year-old Breoklyn girl, whom he charges with breach of promise of marriage. Jennie enters a general denial, but ingeniously offers hypnotism as a plea in defense. She seeks to discredit the market value of the prince as a suitor for anybody's hand by suying that he tried to treat her and her mother to luncheon on a commutation meal ticket. It was probably the economical Nature of the count that sidetracked the match, and it is fair to assume that the defense will be well received by almost any American jury. A man who borrows the title of prince must do his wooing in a more, royal style. The defendant's father is a sea captain of tremendous height and girth and during the preliminary stages of the breach of promise suit the other day he came within an ace of giving the plaintiff more cause for damage than at present lie seems to have sustained. ———___ +++ —___ For the information of the new Supervis- ing Architect of the Treasury, it should be stated that the new post-office building in this city has now been under course of construction for three years and thirty days and that the force of men employed on the work in that period has varied in size from none to one hundred and fifty. He should also know that today’s force of one hundred and nine men is far above the average. He might likewise be interested in the fact that The Star has been in- formed, upon the most reliable authority, that the experience of the past warrants the belief that the building will not be ready for use before August 17, 1906. This information may lead him to make an early investigation into the history of the local building, and The Star will cheerfully fur- nish him with all the facts at its disposal, of which there is: a large and interesting pescems —_—__ + e+ ___ Judge Miller has’ said’ that he is tired of hearing about the Shea case in every triat (affecting resifents in the’ vicinity of that |, lous speak-easy.
