Editor. md permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium if has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not “be addressed vo any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = Americans who have been apprehensive as to Defender’s fitness to contest for the world’s yachting champlonship with Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie may now feel more buoyantly hopeful than they have up to this time. Yesterday the American boat showed more of superiority than even the best of its friends seemed to have expected, and as a result the refitted Vigilant was defeated by the Defender, with eighteen Minutes of time to spare. The victory of the Defender is remarkably gratifying, be- cause jt was not a victory in any one par- ticular kind of weather; there were the gentlest of zephyrs, followed by steadily inereasing wind force until a squall made its appearance and rushed across the sur- face of the waters at not less than forty miles an hour. But the character of the Weather made no difference whatever to the Defender. When the wind was light there was swiftness of movement that was Yeally amazing, while when the squall was on the Defender stood up with astonishing stiffness and took advantage of a very large percentage of the squall’s energy. ‘Then, too, there are appears to be more of smartness in the crew than had hitherto been suspected of dwelling in that agsre- gation, When the squall was at its heigat the sheet of the Defender’s jib carried ‘away, and then the jib was split into com- plete uselessness; in a little while a new jib was flying in good shape, long before the critics looked for its coming. Taken altogether, yesterday's race shows conclu- sively the very great superiority of the Defender over the Vigilant, and gives new strength to the somewhat shaky faith of a large number of American yachtsmen, who somehow or other feel satisfied that Val- kyrie III is the most dangerous British yacht that has ever come across the At- lantic for the purpose of carrying away a cup that his been American property for many years. oe On what appears to be good authority it is stated that Mr. Wilson Shannon Bissell of Lulfalo, New York, has declined a prot- fered appointirent as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, end has done so not because he Is insensible of the high honor attached to that impor- tant office, but because he prefers Buffalo to Washington as a place of residence. Accepting as gospel truth the reason ad- vanced by Mr. Bissell, The Star marvels that any man whose perceptive senses are so blunted and whose Judgment is so griev- ously warped should ever have been select- ed to be a member of President Cleveland's cabinet. Of course the city of Buffalo is not entirely unattractive. There are with- in its bounds many beautiful homes and several of its thoroughfares are on a par with streets of which Washington is not Particularly proud; then Buffalo, too, has @ magnificent system of breezes which blow from three or four directions at once and evolve strange chords through contact with the hirsute adornments of the just and the unjust alike. This latter consider- ation, however—dear as it may be to the hearts of Buffalo populists and anarchists —should not be of any moment to Mr. Bis- sell, for a more closely shaved man than the ex-Postmester General could hardly be found. What then is there in Buffaio that bas entwined itself around the heart- Strings of Mr. Wilson's immediate pre- decessor and rendered him incapable of intelligently appreciating the beautiful and the good, so conspicuously illustrated at the National Capital, the most attractive residence city on the continent? —_—_ + 0+ -__ Increase in the facilities for becoming acquainted with the art of swimming does not seem to have very much effect upon the mortality statistics devoted to deaths by drowning. Very frequently—much too frequently—we hear of men and boys who venture into six or seven feet of water, and who, in spite of the impression that they could swim, found it impossible to reach shallow Commenting upon that state of affairs, the New York Times says: “Tho truth is that nine-tenths of the persons who disport themselves in the water in living and swimming do not know brow to do cither. It seems to be regardad as sufficientiy good diving for a man to be able to plunge into water head first and re- gain the surface; while anything that keeps one aticet, no matter at what expen- diture of strength and wind, is called swim- ming. It Is a great pity that this is so, because amorg all outdoor sports none are are more healthful and recreative for both sexes than diving and swimming. It is within the power of every man and woman to learn to do both, and to do them well.” And yet it Is not so extremely surprisiag that deaths by drowning are rather com- mon during the summer season in the vi- cinity of this city, for although there are @ quarter of a million people who have their residence here, there is no such thing as a swimming-school within all the Dis- trict of Columbia. Some shrewd business man who, knows how to manage a natato- rium, ought to be able to make money cut of a venture that is extremely profitable in other large cities, —-- + ee __ “The Agricultural Department is right in curtailing its literature.

The war with @apan developed many of the weaknesses bf government employes and as a result a Wecree has been issued calling upon the Presidents and vice-presidents of the Various boards as well as the Tartar gen- Brals, viceroys and governors of the provinces to recommend for office persons of clear understanding, excelling in wis- Mom and ability and thoroughly com- fetent to perform the functions assigned fa them.

He has discovered at gzeat cost the criminal char- acter and general worthlessness of many in whom he once had confidence, so now he warns the high authorities that if their nominees are careless and perform their duties perfunctorily, or only just as far as they feel obliged to, or if they represent the interests of favored persons from selfish motives, and are unduly lenient and in- fluenced by their private feelings, “we will certainly hold the guilty responsible, pun- ishment being specially provided by stat- ute for such an offense—that of improperly recommending persons for office.” In this land of civilization there is also punish- ment for the same offense, but our superior wisdom provides that the people, who foot the bills, shall be punished and not the schemers who procure or enjoy the offices and their emoluments. ——__ + ++ ____ ‘There is probebly no truth in the an- rouncement that Captain-Gereral Campos, governor of Cuba and commander-in-chief of the Spanish troops now on that much- disturbed island, wrote anything to the effect that Spain had lost her grip on what has been termed “the fairest jewel in her crown.” But, unlesd the indications are all misleading, Captain-General Campos might honestly have done precisely what he is satd to have done, for most of the undoc- tored news from Cuba is now favorable to the insurgents. The unadulterated facts are, of course, not easily to be procured, but even the information which leaks out through Spanish sources can hardly do otherwise than encourage those who are dcing the most and the best they possibly can to achieve independence for themselves and their fellow-residents of an island that has been systematically plundered by Spain from the time when Cuba first fell into greedy Spanish hands. It is absurd for che Spanish press to insist that the revolt really amounts to nothing, for if that were the case, then Spain would never have ex- pended up to this time more than twenty millions of dollars in a succession of cn- deavors to crush the revolutionary party, nor would preparations continue to trans- port a large number of additional soldiers to the field of operations. Of course, it is barely possible that by force of arms Spain may for the present prevent a suc- cessful organization of the Cuban republic, but the time seems not far away when Spain will have to admit that it will be cheaper and more politic to let Cuba go than to insist upon retaining possession. —___ ++ = ___ Mr. Gould might present a counter claim to Miss Nicclaus for services in the Ine-of publicity and promotion. —_—+-0+___ Having duly made its declarations of re- form, the Whisky Trust takes up its resi- dence in New York. ee eee If Senator Quay does not see what he wants he will have it brought to him. 2 Holmes is now being accused of making himself the kero of a gigantic fake.

The city of Washington is the one large city in the United States which has no pub- lic jitrary. There are libraries in plenty, and there are more beoks in these Hbraries (counting the library of Congress) than in the libraries of any other city in America. But there is no library for general use ex- cept the Congressional J.ibrary, and th of that is so restricted that it does not sei the purpose of a public library in any great degree. The need of public-library facilities has led to a movement, inaugurated by Mr. Theodore Noyes of the Washington Even- ing Star, for tha establishment of a public library by Congressional enactment. Un- fortunately Washington is dependent wholly on Congress for iis laws, and Congress specifies the uses to which its funds shall be put. There is no way to establish a public library in the city without a <pecial law of Congress unless some public-spirited citizen will endow one. And Congress is notoriously slow in action. Therefore, the Fifty-third Congress has gone out of ex- istence without taking action on the library bill. The library of Congress is the largest li- brary in the United States. In fact, it is gne ot the largest libraries in the world. There are departinent Dorari Ss scattered through the governiaent buildings, some of which have books of fic- tion and travel on their shelves; but the circulation of these books, of course, is limited to the employes of the departments in which the libraries are located. There are also libraries connected with educa- tional institutes, which come under the head of “public librari but they are not public In the broader sense. So with nearly two million books on library shelyes, Wash- ington is without one library which can be classed with the Mercantile Library of New York, the Public Library of the city of Beston, or any other of the great institu- ticns for the circulation of printed litera- ture with which the other chief clues of the United States are bles: irs GooD TO EAT fs BOSTON BROWN BREAD—just a little more delicious and enjoyable than any other bread that's baked—ensier di- gested—and more nutritious, too.

A well-known sporting mam, who is too modest to allow his name to he printed here, relates the following ex- perlence: “I was out yachting on the Fourth of July, and I got very much exhausted, having to manage the yacht myself tn a northeast gale. I did not have an opportunity to eat properly, consequently my stomach was very tired, so that when I did eat I ate too much, and that resulted in’a condition which was followed by severe neuralgia in my head. My experience with Ripans Tabules previously taught me that possjbly the trouble might be remedied by treating the stomach. Before I bad taken the third Tabule my neuralgia had gone and I was feeling pretty well, I had neuralgia very bud, and I could feel those Tabules were working upon my digestive orgens, and as they worked my head improved in sympathy.” Ripans Tabules are sold by druggists, or by mail, if the price GO cents a box) is sent to The Mipans Chemical Company, No. 10 Sprace st., New York.
