Americanism. No more inspiring or more wholesome reading could be laid before the American people at such a season than the letter writ- ten by that great American statesman, Daniel Webster, in 1550 to Mr. Hulsemann, the Austrian charge affairs at Washington in regard to the alleged interference of this country in the Hungarian revolt. It breathed a spirit of Americs | such as could not fail to evoke a responsive thrill of patriot- ism throvghout the land, and it amply satis- fied Mr. Webster's desire, as expressed in his subsequent letter to Mr. Ticknor, in that ft touched the national pride. Such a letter might. well be written today in the*case of jreat Britain's aggresstons toward Vene- muela or in the Cuban or Hawaiian affairs, and there is no possible doubt that it would awaken a responsive spirit In the hearts of all American citizens regardless of party. Mr. Webster sounded a ringing note when jhe declared that the American institutions stand upon the broadest principles of civil Jiberty,”” and that these are the only prin- ciple: that mect the demand of the present enlightened age. Since that letter was Mritten the conditions have but tended te increase the force of the great Secretary's argument. The power of monarchical dom- Ination has been almost wholly destroyed 4n South America, and the United States ‘bas at all times stood as the champton of independent self-government. The reasons for vigilant opposition to the encroach- ments of Europe on our domain and that of our neighbors grow stronger as the years pass, for as the European powers gradually lose their grasp upon the terrl- tory dedicated to the republican form of government, their waning influence strug- les harder to retain the remnant against the spread of independence. ‘The Hulsemann letter deserves to be made @ part of the historic Mterature of this country, and indeed it is classed by many students of politics as a second declaration “of independence. It convinced the foreign powers that this great and growing nation Was not to be treated lightly, just as anoth- er such outspoken expression today would teach Europe the wholesome lesson that the United States will never meddle with } eid world affairs unless its own interests are directly involved, but that when they are concerned, or when the controversy is over European attempts at territorial cx- tension or extension of the sphere of Euro- pean influcnces in this continent, the peo- ple of this country will support their gov- ernment in the most vigorous steps it may take to maintain the national honor and republican principles. Daniel Webster's course in the Hulsemann affair and Secretary Marcy's policy in the subsequent Koszta case, an account of which is published elsewhere in The Star, demonstrate that i ‘the old days the quality of patriotic Americanism was constant in successive administrations without regard to their politics. Owing to this fact, the ad- vantages of that continuous foreign polic; , Which makes England so strong In these r . lations, were enjoyed by the Amertcan peo- | ple t only was the position taken by ‘Taylor's administration sustalned and en- Jarged by that of Fillmore, but it was en- dorsed and practically applied by Plerce, though he was a democrat and the others were whi Instead of trying to depreciate Secretary Webster, a whig, and to revolu- tionize his foreign policy, Secretary Marcy, a democrat, echoed his “jingo” sentiments, and engaged only in the wholesome rivalry of demonstrating the patriotic and sturdy character of his own Americanism. ‘There is today a great opportunity for another Marcy. —-- + ++ _____ The Farmers’ Complaint. Commissioner Truesdell asserted yester- day, when the farmers’ delegation waited on the board to plead for a revocation of the order clearing B street south of the Certer Market, that the original request for such an order came from the farmers themselves and he intimated that this ac- tion on the part ef the complainants was contradictory. He referred the petitioners to Congress for a redress of grievances. There is a distinction between the whole- Sale and the retail dealers who sell their own products at the market. It was the Aormer class that asked for the establish- ment of a market in the old haymarket sqvare, and the retailers who wil! find no place in the Commissioners’ market should not be put in the attitude of resisting their own desires, for they have never suggested a change from the present system. The Commissioners are not consistently en- forcirg any legal principle in this connec- tion, for they have already declared that they would probably permit the continued Occupation of a certain part of the south side of B street by the farmers in case the haymarket square, under the opera- tion of their order, becomes overcrowded, as it will unquestionably be if all of the farmers now doing business in the city should be forced into this place. If it is permissible for farmers to beeome curb- Btone dealers along B street adjacent to the haymarket it is permissible for them to do the same kind of business at the Btands which they have occupled for years adjacert to Center Market along the curb- Btone of the same street. : ——_ +e = —___ There are several statesmen who will in- @crse as eminently wise the arrangement which brings Thanksgiving day before the &ssemblage of Congress instead of after it. —___+ ee -——__ England wants all the gold in the world, Whether it has been dug yet or not. —___ ¢ =_____ The Good Roads Movement. Secretary Morton calls attention in his an- Jiual report to the work of the bureau in ¢harge of the good-roads inquiry for which fn appropriation has been made by Con- gress. He said that improved road construc- tion ts progressing In many states and that thore than half of them have passed new foad laws within the last year. The Inquiry fmade by the office under his direction $howed that bad roads mean steady ex- Penses to the farmers in the item of hauling roducts to market, and it is very desirable hat this statement, fortified as it is by sta- Yistics recelved from upwards of twelve hundred counties, should be laid before the @griculturalists of the country in a compact nd impressive form to awaken still further yhe interest that has at last been aroused in this most important matter. The secretary leclares that public interest in this question developed to a great extent, and he be- jeves that this central office in the Agricul- sural Department has been productive of ®xcellent results and will be followed by §till greater development of usefulness. Not fhe least important part of this work is that utlined for the comirg year, when it is joped to secure the co-operation of agricul- ral colleges and experiment stations in the frsrmaton method of disseminating the formation that the bureau has obtained. {3 believed that by teaching students at these establishments to construct model roads in such places where they can he reg- ularly used by the farmers of the vicinity the latter, where such instruction ts tieeded, will learn practically the value of well-con- strueted thoroughfares. The secretary’s chief intérest Of course is for the agriculturist, the man who builds the roads and who uses them in conducting the affairs of his calling. But he douttless realizes that much of the awakening of in- terest 'n the good roads movement has been caused by the almost unprecedented increase in the use of the bicycle in this coun’ Years ago, when the wheel first intro- duced and used generaliy by the young men of the country, the leaders in the ranks of the wheelmen directed attention to the need of better road c ruction and established a businesslike bureau for the creation of public opinion in their behalf. Where there were hundreds of wheels tn use at that time there are tens of thousands now, and as the wheelmen are now or are rapidly becomin voters it car be readily’ s (nat _unle: public attention is paid to this question vol- untarily ere long it will become an issue in certain distric ef the couniry and will be surely pushed to the front. The secret will do well to secure the co-operation of the bicycling interests-in his efforts to r2- form the American roads, for they numerous and farmers generally can be brought to realize the money v e of a well-constructed and well-maintained highway a definite improve ment in this regard will doubtless be eff ed through the combined labors of agricul- turists and bicycl . — + Citizenship at the Capital. Prof. Amos G. Warner of Stanford Uni- versity, who is well rememb. elty as the first ties, ael are is béfore- the S$. at Denver in Sep- tember last which is reprinted in the cu rent issue of the American Jourral of Sovi- ology, his topic being “Politics and Crime.” After asserting that one great cbstac! the way of reform among the erim classes is the character of the men who are set to catch, try and jail the offenders against the laws of the community, he glves some highiy interesting facts relating to the misgoverument of large cities, the effect of which is to:show that the average of intelligence and highmindedness among the magistrates is dep’orably low. This leads him to say: “Out of the dozen cities with which I am somewhat acquainted there are but two in which the police mag- istrates are generally heid to be conscien- tious and intelligent gentlemen. One of these two [sy Washingion, B. C., which has no vestige of local self-government. I do rot happen to know of one single city or town having local “self-government where the party in powez can afford consistently and persistently to defy the criminal and semi-criminal classes.” Tt cannot be doubt- ed in view of such a sweeping declaration, based doubtless upon keen and Intehigent observation, that in the opinion of Prof. Warner local self-government in cities does not inevitably bring with it unmitigated Joys or advantages. Tt is no surprise to the citizens of Washington to knew that the local magistracy is worthy of such high prais~ as to stand practically alone among all the citics of America for conscience and intelligence. Nor ts this the only cause for congratulation upon ‘the absence ef the varied and oppressive evils that accom- pany the misuse of unlimited, popular suf- frage in the government of municipalities. ——__ + ee —_____ More Cri The trolley motormen of Clevelant do not seem to learn the lesson of experience. With the memory of last Saturday's dread- ful disaster still frash three of them yes terday abandoned their cars on a high bridge while waiting for a draw to be clesed, and in some mysterious manner, while they were chatting at a distance trom their posts of duty, the imotor of the rear car began to work and pushed the others to the very brink of the open sec- tion of the bridge before they were stopped. The barest chance intervened to prevent a triply horrible repetition of the other calam- ity. Those three men deserve severe pun- ishment. Their abandonment of. their cars at such a point, demonstrated only so lately to be extremely dangerors, consti- tutes criminal carelessness that should subject them to heavy penalties. It mat- ters not that in the course of events no disaster resulted. The object of a pun- ishment in such a case should be to warn all of these men, who are daily entrusted with hundreds of human lives, that they capnot lightly disregard their responsibili- ties, —_we< -.-—-_ Mr. Reed has had but little to say during the past few months.

From the Wash. Cor. of the Baltimore Sun, The proposition to authorize the District Ccmmissioners to units in the establish- ment of a municipal library for free cir- culation will be early pressed upon Con- gress at its approaching session. The with- drawal of the privilege which Washington- fans have until lately enjoyed of getting bocks on making a deposit at tne library of Congress makes the proposed municipal library almost a necessity to the large reading population of the~.Disti‘et. It is probable that the library will be located in a central portion of the city and be open at night, affording a comfortable room for quiet readers. Another Chance for Mr. Bayard.

I shouldn't marry a woman who knows more than I do." “You are very romantic.” “It seems to me that I am very practi- cal “Not at all. You have your mind fixed on an impossible ideal. An Early Intimation. “Johnny,” said the boy’s father, “I sup- pese that you are going to hang up your stocking next Christmas.” “No, I'm not,” was the reply after some thought. “Why not?” “Because,” he answered, looking his father straight in the eye, ‘‘you couldn't put a bicycle in my stocking.” A Contrary World. If all the days were holidays, Before the year was done, The hardest work that you could do Would seem the biggest fun. A Suggestion. “Josiar,"" said Mrs. Corntossel, “ye hev’ been worryin’ a good deal 'bout the parity of the money metals.” “I hev that. An’ I'm worrying about it now, jes ez much ez ever.” “Don't ye think ye'd better do some o’ yer worryin’ closter ter home?” “What about?” ““Bout the parity of our wood piles. ‘The on8 outen doors is bigger outen all perpor- tion than the one behind the cook stov an’ I think ye'd orter know about it, bein ez ye hev sech pernounced idees on sech things.” Taking Time by the Forelock. “How's the outlook?” said Senator Sorghum. “Very dark,” replied his trusty follower. “Do you think we've got a chance to hold our own?” “Not a shadow of a chance.”” “Well,” he answered with a sigh, “find a reporter and give him an Interview about my being unable, in justice to myself, to lorger permit my duties as a public man to interfere with my private interests.” A Question. Folks does lots o° talkin’ charm An’ tells ye ye ortenter laugh out aloud; "bout dignity’s Ef ye only jes’ snicker, they look with alarm An’ say, with a sneer, that ye're one o° the crowd, Yet wouldn't ye druther see smiles than a tear An’ be with a man who is anxfous ter smother With laughter his moments of sorrow an’ fear; Say—now hones'ly, wouldn't ye druther? From the eyes of the hypocrite tears often start, Ez they do from the crocodile, waitin’ fur prey; But a laugh, ter sound hearty, must come from the heart; It's truthful, whatever its owner may say, The folks thet is solemn, an’ distant an‘ still, Seems frequently prosperous, somehow or other; But ye chum with a feller that laughs with a will; Say—now hones'ly, wouldn't ye druther? ee The Underground System.
