THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington @aflies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. — ©7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absenee, letters to THE STAR ald mot be addressed 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. — We Want Cheaper Rates. Among the reforms expected of the Fifty- fourth Congress by Washingtonians is one im which one real and three or four pro- spective telephone companies, to sav noth- ing of a large number of subscribers or would-be subscribers, are interested. Some time ago there was a great flurry of prom- ise as to cheap telephone service, and it may be that things are being done toward making good a few of the many promises that were made with so much fluency and readiness, but as evidence to that effect is not visible to the naked eye just now it Is to be feared that we are still a long way off from such satisfactory conditions 18 ex- ist in Europe. It has just been announced that telephone charges In France are to be reduced to five cents for a three-minute conversation between persons who are within a radius of ffteen miles. We would feel insulted ‘f a foreigner should insinuate that anything possible to European in- genuity and cash Is impossible to American brains and American capital, but we daw- dle along, content to suffer from dntiquated methods and to pay therefor exorbitant rates. The telephone power Is unquestion- » ably a strong one and it cannot -be either overthrown or compelled to do its duty by the public except by vigorous measures, and these are not possible unless there is unmistakable expression of public sent- , iment favorable to their enactment. The struggle for cheap telephones is much too meritorious to be permitted to die in silence and seclusion. We claim civilized superi- ority over all the nations of Europe; sup- pese we hustle and try to catch up with seme of the second and third rate old- world countries. —_—_+++—_____ Meving Toward “No License.” ‘The Tammany demccratic leaders in New York city undoubtedly favor the elimina- ticn from the statute books of all laws which control or purport to conirol the sale of intoxicants on Sunday; they ar2 Practically pledged to wiGe-cpen saloons seven days a week. The ultimate effect of such 2 campaign ought to be clearly vis- ible even to those who are neither prophets ror sons of prophets; the next logical step would be the abolition of license. There- fore it would seem to be unwise for those who are interested in the continued legal existence of saloons to agitate for more than they now have. In every community in th2 land there is a strorg working element, whose persistent aim is the pro- curement of total abstinence, and that, of course, means discouragement of the liquor business. A large majority of these cru- saders against strong drink believe that anything like marked success will not come to their cause until the partnership between the government and the salocn- keeper has been dissolved; that so long as the saloon contributes directly to the sup- port of the government, the government must, as a matter of equity, afford to the saloon countenance and protection such as the saloon could not possibly secure were there ne business relations such as now exist for revenue only. Agitation of the proposition to have continvously-operated saloons may not, therefore, be strenuously opposed by prominent temperance advo- cates who are far-sighted enough to see that the Icgical sequence of the movement would be decidedly adverse to the interests of those with whom they continually do war. oe A Great Bicycling Reform. All possible objecticn to the use of the bi- cycle by woiaen has now been met by a very ingenious invention that promises to enrich its patentee. One of the most serious obsta- cles to the riding of the wheel by the wearers of skirts—or even bloomers—was that the mounting was so difficult and uncertain that the fair rider did not have time to nfake her adieux to friends on the curb or to attend to little details of toilet necessary to complete enjoyment of the ride. But now she can raount her wheel, equipped with one of these latest machines, get her garb well and dis- creetly arranged, shift her gum to the most favorable position for a comfortable chew, say good-bye to half a dozen friends, if need be, and be perfectly secure the while; as safe as though she were standing with one foot on the step of a street car and the other on the ground, attending to these small prelimi- naries after the usual fashion. There is a great future for a device such as this, which will enable the rider to make the start with the proper amount of feminine procrastina- tion that bicycling has heretofore taken ircem her. —~+-___ Speech vs. Force. So Judge Kilgore and Judge Springer are Lcth candidates for promction to the chief justiceship of the supreme court of Indtan Territory! The fight is likely to be a lively one, for the ex-congressmen from Texas and Illinois, respectively, have cam- paign methods which do not permit of pro- longed slumber on the part of anyone likely to be of use in attaining the desired end. The cortest will be extremely inter- ¢sting for the reason that Judge Springer has corversational abillty of a phenomenal wort; he spouts language with as much @use as a playful whale spouts salt-water, wnile his staying qualities may safely be regarded as too much for a whole school of wiales. Judge Kilgore, on the other hand, is rot a gifted crator, but as a kicker he holds the congressional record. If he whom the President deems the fittest shall capture the prize, then we shall know which the Chief Magistrate holds in great- est esteem as a judicial quality—the mouth or the foot. ——__+ + ____ Lord Dunraven will hardly go so far as to assume a monopoly of the right to challenge for the America’s cup. If Mr. Rose nas the acht and the nerve, it is hardly fair for tie Britisn Press to try to discourage him by comments on “notoriety seeking.” The question arises in this connection as to what people build racing yachts for. It is obvi- ously not for pecuniary gain and avowedly not for notcriety. There is doubtless an obscure element of philanthropy in it some- where that only posterity will be able to ap- preciate. ——___e«_____ A Modern St. Patrick. There are some parts of this country that would be much more habitable if they were only freed from the too-assiduous atten- tions of reptiles. Snakes are not popular factors in any community, and some other- wise desirable American residence sites have been rendered quite unfit for marketing by the presence of these “vermin.” ‘There is a crying need for the kind intervention of some good-natured charmer, who, lke St. Patrick of old, can drive the snakes away and free the land, as that highly-respected adcpted son of Ireland did for the Emerald Isle. But there are two obstacles in the way of such a performance. In the first place there are too many snakes, and in the second place there is too much Ameri- creatures might move over into Mexico and Canada, and sojourn there until the excite- ment had passed over, even as certain human refugees do at this present time. Yet the hope is not altogether faint that the modern St. Patrick may soon discover himself. Prof. Fraser—habitat unmentioned —is now being quoted extensively in the medical and scientific journals as having devised a system of treating snake-bites by what he calls “minimized serum.” In short, he has adopted the now well-estab- lished principle that the poison can be made to work its own cure, and has pro- duced a commodity, that, it is claimed, can be safely used, and that will prevent fatal results from the bite of venomous reptiles. If this method should prove a success there is every reason why Prof. Fraser might Rope eventually to succeed to the degree of extreme popularity that followed the cele- brated achievement of St. Patrick in the snake-conquering line. It is a fieid worthy of ambitious efforts. ——_+e2+____ Receipts Exceed Expenditures. It js altogether pleasant to note that business conditions have so improved that the government is beginning to take in ™ore money than it is paying out, and that a steadily growing surplus may reason- ably be looked for. The surplus will not, however, be a reality for some time: to come, for there exists a deficit which will swallow up all of the surplus likely to make an appearance for some months to come. Every American, no matter what his political predelictions, will be glad to know that the tids has probably turned and that the Treasury Department will socn have at its command money sufficient to meet present and delayed obligations. No man with any patriotic sentiment in him likes to have kis government finan- cially embarrassed to such an extent that it puts off until the last moment the pay- ment of ev8n small bills. ————+e +____ Max O'Rell says that the American pub- lic is too good-natured and long-suffering. There is no one better qualified to gather cpinions of this description than a pro- fessional lecturer. —_——_+ ++ ____ The Anierican drama waits breathlessly to know whether Texas is going to permit Tragedians Corbett and Fitzsimmons to run the risk of losing each other to the stage. ——_ e+ _____ Several of the distinguished political bosses are said to have their hands full at the present time. But several of them also Pave their pockets full. ———__ + 0 + _____ The present is an era of discontent. The anxiety of Hawali and Cuba to get an- nexed is exceeded only by that of Ireland to get disconnected. 2 Before furthering considering Mr. Rose's challenge for the yachting trophy, he should be made to agree to go all the way «ver the course. ————_+++____ The native of Erin may be oppressed in his own country, but there is no dosbt about his freedom not only of speech but of action here. —__+-____ The urban Tammanyites need hereafter expect no quarter when as summer board- ers they encounter the rural New York democrat. ——__++e—____ The New York democratic platform is now in the hands of the critics and inter- preters. SHOOTING STARS. On His Dignity. He had made sure that there were no men around the house, and he drew hiraself up, inflated his chest and said: “Don't think, madam—don’t think fur an instant thet I ast you fur thet piece of pie I mentioned because I'm hungry.” “WeEat did you want with it, then?’ she inquired. “I wanted ter git square weth a mortal ard old-time foe. I wanted ter feed it ter thet dog o’ your’n ez tried ter bite me when I came through the front yard. Thet's whut I wanted with it.” The Cure for a Cold. “No, sir,” said the gentleman from Ken- tucky, ‘out our way, sir, we never tell a man what to do for a bad cold.” “Is that 80?” “Certainly. If a gentleman in Kentucky, sir, has a cold and doesn’t know what to do for it, sir, it shows at once that he is an alien and not entitled to our neighborly of- fices, sir.”” Hidden Anguish. Where once they rambled out of door, They'll seek the parlor trim, For he is all the world to her, And so is she to him. They're happy; for they do not dream Her father sits below, In pain to hear the meter click And see the gas bills grow. He Did His Best. She seated herself in the rear end of the car, among the tcbacco consumers, al- though there was plenty of room forward. Every time the man. next to her puffed his cigar she looked unhappy. At last she turned sharply to the con- ductor and said: “Smoking 1s very disagreeable to me.” “Is it?” he rejoined, sympathetically. “Tt certainly is.” Afte- a brief silence she resumed. “Well, aren't you going to do something or say something about it?” “Why—er—certalnly.”” “I wish you wouldn’t lose any time.” “If I were in your place, and smoking were disagreeable to me, why—er—” “Well, sir?” “Why, I wouldn't smcke.” He meant it kindly, but she got off the car and reported him to the company just the same. Gone. Oh, where {s the girl who used to play “The Maiden's Prayer” and oft crochet In such a sweet, audacious way, In colors striking? Who loved to see the house well kept; Who dusted scme, betimes, and swept, And pensively o’er “East Lynne” wept? She's gone a-biking. Where is the girl whose blushes glow When, as the golden moon swings low, You tell her that you love her so? + She's to our Iking. Alas! It Is in vain to seek Her who would hear a lover speak, With dewy eye and mantling cheek— She's gone a-biking. Much Sweeter te Contempinte. From the Chicago Interior. It may be that the vision of a municipal government devoted to municipal order and economy and virtue is “an iridescent dream,” but it is much sweeter to contem- plate than what most of our cities now have, a putrescent reality. 2+ ___ None of Them There. From the Detrolt Free Press. They sgem to think considerable of the stars and stripes in the south. Even the jealous eye of prejudice failed to discover the confederate flag, and the treason-scent- ers—if there are any left—will have to make the best they can out of the tattered gray uniforms of the southern veterans who proudly carried “Old Glory.” = ————~+-—____ A Hopefal Innovation. Frem the Philadelphia Bulletin. The horscless carriage, it is said, is only a success on smooth, hard toads. So much the better.
