NOYES. sees Editor, HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Weshington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. «Im order to avoid delays, on ac-,| count of personaleabsence, letters to THE STAR should not be nddressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose, = = One month from today the District National Guard will go into camp for ten days of the most practical sort of instruc- tlon,*at Fort Washington. Congressional failure to appreciate the value to the com- munity and to the country of a well- trained body of volunteer soldiers has de- prived the District National Guard of the advantages to be derived from a brigade encampment for several years past, but the unbusinesslike character of such par- simony became evident at last and the re- sult waz a somewhat meager appropria- tion which, by the exercise of careful economy, may perhaps be made to suffice as a provider of the barest essentials to a successful encampment. .It is the en- nounced intention of Gen. Ordway to make the coming camp much more successful in very many important particulars than was either of the two similar gatherings that have gone into local history as highly cred- itable affairs. To make good that promise will not be an easy thing, but Gen. Ordway will doubtless accomplish all he sets cut to do—that is one of his characteristics—so the people of the District may reasonably expect much more in return for the small amount of money invested than is given by commands of the National Guard in any of the states of the Union, The detailed plans are not as yet known to the public, but is hoped by a great many Washingtoniar who are interested In the brigade that ar- rangements are being or haye been iaade by which some if not all of the regula troops stationed in this vicinity will go into camp with the guardsmen, to the mutual benefit of both parties, The ad- vantages to be derived by the guard would be in the matter of discipline and in the acquisition of those minute scraps of knowledge that can only be acquired in, or by close association with, the regular rerv- ice. The advantages accruing to the regu- lar soldier would be largely through par- ticipation in maneuvers Impossible at army posts because of numerical weakness. This combining of the paid and unpaid soldiers of the nation has been very successfully accomplished in many places; at the camp of the Wisconsin National Guard this year @ very large proportion of the troops will be regulars. Some time ago it was under- stood that Gen. Ordway contemplated making application to the War Department for the presence at Fort Washington of as Jarge a delegation of the Fort Myer and Washington Barracks garrisons as could conveniently be spared from those posts for a period of ten days. The idea met with popular approval at the time of its announcement by The Star; it would be a pity to neglect it now. —__ + e > Some of the officials who are more or less responsible for ‘he erection of public build- ings in the United States are proudly call- ing attention to the rapidity with which the new city post-office building is being pushed toward completion, they claiming that the end of the work is practically in sight and that the structure will be fin- ished in a period much shorter than any in the history of public buildings in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Several of the elements of truth are to be found in these state- ments, but It is extremely unfair for these highly-gratified officials to take to them- selves all of the credit for whatever of haste has been manifest in the work on the post-office. Everybody in Washington who has watched the post-office progress from the time th. old buildings on the site were demolished knows quite well that all of the official tendencies were favorable to delay. Since The Star, however, com- menced to agitate for more of businesslike administration and the steady application of such common-sense methods as would be operated by private builders there has been marked increase of architectural and constructional activity. With so many al- together disereditayle examples of official sluggishness scattered all over the coun- try, and with the unassailable local evi- dence in plain view of the public, The Star believed such agitation as it has indulged in was entirely proper, and the results jus- tify completely that conclusion. If the new post-office building is completed by the summer of 1897—as one of the employes of the supervising architect's office says It will be—such carly completion will not be because the responsible officials so desired it, but rather in spite of them. Bullders’ Exchange Hall should be filled to its utmost capacity tomorrow night when the Board of Trade and those who sympathize with it in its crusade against the contaminaticn of Jackson City and Rosslyn meet to protest against the law- lessness from which this city has been by far the most conspicuous sufferer. The Virgittia authorities have been thoroug! aware of the unsavory conditions which they have permitted to exist within their jurisdiction, but their sense of duty seems to be too small and too weak to result in any action adyerse to the vagabonds who are making Alexandria county a stench in the nostrils of decency. The Star has done what it could to awaken the consciences of those who are undoubtedly responsibie for Virginia’s disgrace, but the dangerous slumber continues. Perhaps the voice of the Board of Trad thoroughly repre- sentative body—may ‘prove to be effective. ———-22 ____ There were one hundred and seventeen men employed upon the city post-office building today. They accomplished about one half as much in the way of construc- tlon as might reasonably be expected of two hundred and thirty-four men, ——__ ee ‘The silver Kentuckians while unwaver- ing in their admiraNon of Secretary Car- lisle as a brainy man cannot the conviction that he needs exercise on his financial catechism. ——_- +e Unbiased testimony as to ituation in Cuba is at this time decidedly the revoluticnary cause, the ‘avorable to latest battle having resulted in a serious defeat of Span- vietory ish trocps. Consequent upon will doubtless be considerable a the revolutionary forces and diminishing disposition upon the part of the almosi- neutral Cubans to assist Spain in tts en- deavor to retain one of that country’s most valuable possessions. In the absence of anything like authentle information as to the strength of the bodi of yobinteey soldiery commanded by the ime Gomez, Jose Marti and can be nothing like reliabl the possible length or result paign which Is now on all point to a prolonge: every day will be full of peril to Spanish possession. A great majority of the ish troops on the island are unacclimated, and It ts easily probable that Sy will be much heavier from ye Now fever and camp diseases than from collision with the well-seasoned Cubans who now are or w foon will be in the field. The finar 1 Phase of the situation, too, should not be forgotten. At this time Spain has no money to spare even for the subjugation this ‘asso there ing upon of the cam- but the indications gle in which of a rebellious colony, and in a little while the vast expense of maintaining. large army amid hostile surroundings will prove to be positively embarrassing. It may be urged that the revolutionists themselves are not wealthy, but if they go on as they have been doing of late they can stand the strain much better than the Spanish gov- ernment can. If Spain continues to un- willingly provide the revolted Cubans with arms, ammunitions and equipment, the mere matter of subsistence is not likely to trouble the revolutionary armies very much; they can live easily on the country and appear to have the practical sym- pathy of the people who as yet have not come out openly in behalf ef Cuban inde- pendence. The chances for immediate Cu- ban success would be materially strength- ened if all of the people in the United States who are posing as Cuban patriots would take the field against Spain, but anything like a general exodus of these agitators should not be expected; it is so much more comfortable to fight with lungs. and at long rang ——>+e__ From several cities where the higher civ- ilization is alleged to exist come com- plaints of the continued prevalence of the high hat and the big bonnet at theatrical performances. To dwellers in Washington such a state of affairs is almost incompre- hensible; surely there has been folly in the management of the campaign against ob- structive head-gear in the communities to which reference has generally been made. Perhaps the city councils have discussed the advisability of promulgating an ordi- nance for the purpose of rendering over- grown hats less of a nuisance than they frequently are, or it may be that there were propositions afoot to interest the state legislature in a statute calculated to discourage four-story millinery. Threats like these would naturally arouse the re- sentment which Is on tap even in the mild- est variety of feminine nature, and the re- suJt has been an increase in the size end more of opacity in the make-up of the hats and bonnets behind which so many good men and true have breathed language un- fit for publication, Here in Washington there was no atterpt at coercion. Pleas- antly, and in a manner that was wholly unobjectionable, The Star directed the at- tention of the ladies of Washington to the unfashionable selfishness which up to that time had been productive even here of great mental and moral disturbance. Quietly but insistently it was made plain to the female mind that the wearing of a large hat at a theater or concert was an impropriety of which no woman who de- sired to be stylish could possibly be guilty, and the result was the practically complete banishment from the theaters and concert halls of all the objectionable kinds of head- covering that had previously been such powerful promoters of profanity. If the people of Baitimore and Philadelphia and New York and of several complaining Aitics| in the west will only try the Washington plan their troubles will almost surely reach speedy termination, for it is but reasonable to presume that the women of all those cities are quite rational; not as much es the women of Washington, perhaps, but sufficiently so to be amenable to diplomatic and courteous treatment. —_—__ e » ___ There is evidently an increasing disposi- tion among pugilists of all classes to be- lieve that a man runs absolutely no risk in challenging Corbett. ——_ + +-+__.
