6 2 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. CROSBY 8S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, om ne- bsence, letters to ce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — = == Chairman MeMillan’s Piatform. District people will doubtless be well sat- isfled with the platform of Senator Mc- Millan, the returned chairman of the Dis- trict committee of the upper house of Con- gress, as statcd to The Star last evening. He has by no means lost his great interest in local legislation since he was last atvthe head of this important committee, but he has maintained steadily his feeling of friendliness for the people of the capital. It is not so much the quantity of legislation that is to be desired as the quality, says the Senator, and to this a great majority of the citizens will heartily say “Amen.” The Dis- trict has too often been made a dumping ground for all sorts of schemes and ‘legisla- tive experiments in the past. It is gratify- ing to note that Mr. McM#lan considers the grade-crossing question of prime import- ance, and he will have the support and ald of every citizen of the District if he under- takes the difficult task of making the rail- roads keep their promises to depress or ele- vate their tracks. It is not too much to ex- pect that if the District committee, under the leadership of Senator McMillan, should actively take up this important question the “reads would be willing enough to make terms before the close of the present ses- sion. The only terms acceptable, however, should involve a surrender to the demand that the streets be freed from the grade- crossings without any unnecessary delay. Senator McMillan is quite right, from the point of view long ago taken by The Star, in declaring that the citizens whose rights and property are involved should have a voice in declaring for or against street-rail- Way extensions, and he has stated an ex- cellent principle when he says that suburban lines should be extensions of existing trunk lines, thus preventing useless trackage and Providing urban transfers. The Star does not agree, however, that the railways, in- clucjng the great competing lines, should all be placed under a single management, thus creating a monopoly to oppress the peopie like that existing in Philadelphia, and no doubt in other cities where railway trusts are In possession of the streets. Mr. McMillan is convinced with the people of Washington that the underground electric system is a success, and he approves it as the best in sight. He is an advocate, too, of cheaper gas, but he wants the people to have good gas as well. Provided the effort to improve the quality will supplement and not \efeat the movement to lower the price, everybody will indorse this proposition, too. ——_~ ++ One Effect of Closing the Tracks. Some people have doubted whether there Wes any practical reason for the outcry against the continuation of the winter race tracks at St. Asaph’s junction and Alex- ander Island. They contended that it was @ purely sentimental matter of insufficient importance t> warrant active steps bemg taken by the District authorities to per- suade the Virginia officials to close the tracks permanently. The city is now be- ing taught an object lesson of the practical influence ef these tracks upon the peace and comfort of the people of the District nm the presence here of hundreds of charac- terless men who find themselves suddenly thrown out of employment by the unex- pected cksing of both tracks acress the river. The police have already felt the ef- fect of their activity in the city, and thexe has been a notable increase in the number of petty thefts and similar annoyances sitce the touts, stable followers, cheap gemblers and race-track loafers found their occupation gone. There are now no races in progress exccpt at New Orleans, St. Louis and San Francisco, and the average hanger-on at the tracks is seldom in a firancial condition to make such a long jvmp as would be necessary to resume op- erations at once. Hence the chances are tbat these men will stay where they are now unless driven out by the police or enabled to Iceate somewhere else by the early opening of another race track in the east. Thus the city is feeling the direct influence of these objectionable institutions, which is empha- sized now and which undoubtedly has ex- isted to a greater or less extent throughout the racing season. It is unfortunate that the police should be compelled to bear this extra burden at a season when they are aiready heavily taxed by their regular duties. Some of these race-track people are clso likely to become charges upon the gererosity of the citizens, and it would be a merey if the entire outfit could be ship- ped out of town without the slightest de- lay. —___+++___ Instead of subsiding, the feeling of popu- lar indignation in England against Ger- many for the action of Emperor William in congratulating President Kruger seems to increase day by day. The more the English people scrutinize this dispatch and Kruger’s response to it and the circum- stances surrounding the episode giving it a highly important international aspect the more incensed they appear to become and, if the reports from London are at all accurate, there is now being devel- cped in the British Isles a war spirit which is without a recent parallel in En- glish history. The set for the inter- national war dance seems to be forming with strange partners and strange oppo- sites. —__~++__ If the Senate is going to pass the tariff revenue-increasing bill why does it not do so at once and send the measure to the President? This bill should have the right of way in preference to the bond bill. There is sure to be a deadlock over the bond proposition. The revenue bill should be in front of this deadlock, and not behind THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY T, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. he-did not attach any conditiona_to the act. Mr. Norman cabled on Monday thé follow- ing: “Regarding the Aberdeen dispatches and the Schomburgk line, I must explain my attitude. I assert nothing; my means of information being obviously limited. I simply invite refutation of the state- ment that the correspondence I cabled that Englend, in 1841, freely admitted the Schomburgk line to be destitute of any authority or validity as the basis of a territorial claim. The New York Evening Post, indulging in some clever fcoling at my expense, quotes Lord Aber- deen’s letter of March 30, 1844, which states that England, by removing the boundary posts, did not cede any rights which she might consider herself author- ized to claim in the future. Unless a bet- ter retort is possible, my position is in- deed unassailable. I my contention upon the British official statements at the actual time the boundary posts were re- moved. No ex post facto explanations three years later can effect this. If Eng- land made any conditicns when she or- dered the practical destruction of the Schomburgk Une in 1841 and 1842, in re- sponse to the repeated arguments, de- mands, and insistence of the Venezuelan government, then let us have the official If this carrot be produced, then my doc ments and my contentions hold the fiel To this challenge no reply waatever has been forthccming. If the Aberdeen dis- patches had been placarded on every blank wall in the Union for half a century, the fact would make no difference to the above argument. And it is this which.the Even- ing Post dces not seem to see. —____ 2 = ____ Friday is the Day. Next Friday has been chosen as the date of the pound party of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club, Unlimited. It should not be a “black Friday” by any means, but it should rather be marked by such a generous giving from ail classes and all sections that it will become one of the red-letter days in the history of Washington. There is absolutely. no limit to the material that may be taken to this great party, which is to be held all over the city. Each public school will be a receiving point, and there will be a branch at The Star office. The Santa Claus Club is in charge, and it in- vites its many friends to contribute. Money will be received by the teachers of the schools, who will see that it reaches the Proper authorities. The goods turned in, too, will be sent without delay to the dis- tributing agencies, and as the work of the Citizens’ Emergency Committee will be greatly lightened by the success of this ef- fort, the members of the great club and their parents should bend every energy to Take tons of the pounds and to collect a supply of focd and fuel for the destitute that, judiciously handled, will last for many weeks. —___ e+ ____ Ambassador Bayard has expressed his gratification that the elevation of the human race is a common cause, on both sides of the Atlantic. It is a discreet ut- terance, freo from any suggestion of the fact that Great Britain’s idea of elevating a community is to require it to pay taxes to the English government. ——__2 = _____ It is saddening to observe the shock with which Great Britain receives the news that any country or any coveted section of coun- try does not desire to be included in its governmental system. ————_ + ___ After looking over the list it suggests itself that this country compares very favorably with its distinguished European contemporaries in its ability to keep out of trouble. —_~ e+___ A depreciative estimate of American se- curities is to be expected from Europe at a time like the present.
